Kanebo Steals

This has taken me very long to update. Wahahahahaha! I've already been using the products for a month already. They are my hauls from the Kanebo sale held at Cozycot. Check them out ~

Let me break them down and introduce bit by bit.

Makeup base and a limited edition eyeshadow palette.

As like the name suggests, makeup base is to be used before any makeup. What I normally do is to apply my moisturiser and then makeup base, then powder. KATE's makeup base is recommended as it has UV protection (thus minus the sunscreen) and it creates a smooth finish to my face. :)

This is a gold and black palette, with 2 different shimmers on the top left.

Here's how the shimmer works. After you apply your eyeshadow, you gently pat the shimmer on to brighten your eyes.
On the left is gold eyeshadow with gold shimmer and on the right is gold eyeshadow with silver shimmer.

Show ya how it looks when applied makeup using the both items eh?

The next item is the KATE face powder compact. I chose the OC-C, the lighter tone and it works prefectly for my skin colour. Not like most Japanese face powder that tends to be too fair, this one suits the Asian yellow tone me. And when I apply it after my makeup base. Flawless skin!

There's these 2 cream eyeshadow the I bought and have been using them everyday as my eyeshadow base/primer. The white brightens the eyeshadow that you apply above and the gold, gives the eyeshadow a hint of gold glow.

More eyeshadow palettes. I can't stop buying products for eye makeup! I just love colours!!!

This one's great for natural looking makeup. the 2 browns on the right are actually for defining eyebrows.

PINK! Very girly right? I thought I don't have this colour and it's on sale, might as well give it a try right?

It's not that scary. I love it!

And how can eye makeup be complete without eyeliner? I got 2 coloured gel liner and am using them everyday!

More eyeshadows from Coffret D'or. They're going for $5 each, how to resist right?

The nice ladies saw that I was so in love with the dark purple one, they gave me the sample, since the product was out of stock already.

Light sweet colours, aren't they?

Lunasol Watery Oil Cleansing

After all the makeup, here's something to remove it at the end of the day. Pump 3 pumps and spread it all over the face, massage it till all the impurities are out, then rinse with cold or lukewarm water. 

I find it super effective for removing most of the makeup, but for stuffs like waterproof mascara and eyeliner, it's pretty difficult, even when I used it concentrated with no water. But overall, I liked it, coz it's oil, so no hard rubbing, means lesser lines on my face!

[Makeup Tutorial] Makeup in a snap

I was just going to the neighbourhood mall, but didn't wana go out looking so unglam. So I just did a simple makeup look and I think it looks pretty. Wana share with you guys how to look good in just minutes! *Super good one for the OLs...

So this is how it looks. Just a simple green eyeliner line jazzes the whole look. Who says you have to use natural colours for work? Here's how it's done...

Introducing the gadgets: Silkygirl Lime Gree Eyeliner, M.A.C. Blue Noon Eyeliner, Kate eyeshadow BR-2 and M.A.C. Fresh Daisy eyeshadow.

Then, for a little twist, I even wore this new earring I bought from Forever 21. Feather is the new in and this one's even for people without a ear hole piercing. You literally hook it over your ear.

Hope that helped you guys, remember, be daring and play with colours! If you are afraid it make be too dramtic, just stick to having it as eyeliner and you are definitely safe! Do comment and show me your pictures when you have tried out this look ya?

XOXO,

KATE Eyeshadow CQ

I have so much to share with everyone. So much to do, so little time. Here's one for starters: The KATE Eyeshadow CQ. It's transparent like crystal and creates a high purity transparent shine to define eyes.

I've recently fell in love with nude / natural makeup. Perhaps, I wana have a change from all the dramatic colours. And this wonderful palette from KATE works amazingly well for me when I wana have clean and stunning looks like model/actress/singer Lena Fujii (藤井リナ) or Hong Kong model, Angelababy.

Notice their eye makeup is mostly brown and kept natural and most of all, there seems to be this sheer shiny feel on the lids? I'm always baffled by this until I bought this eyeshadow palette.

I've pulled out this instructions page from KATE's wbsite to help you guys with the application.

The most important part in using this palette is to apply 'A' all over the lid to get the eyeshadows all tied together, blended nicely with a shimmery feel.

I've tried it out on several occasions and it worked perfectly. Check this out --->

Don't I look like I walked out of ViVi? :X

I love the subtle gradient and shininess.

Works with all every colour contacts that I wear. Tehehe...

You can find KATE at all local WATSONS stores. Do check out their new arrivals and new TV ad at their official website ->> http://www.kate-global.net/en/index.html
