Etude House Crack Nail Colour

There's been so much hype about crack/shatter nail polishes ever since O.P.I. introduced theirs with the Katy Perry collection. Recently I spotted Etude Houses has also launched their own crack nail polish. Just 2 colours, blue and black.

I only got the blue one as I have already gotten the black from O.P.I.. I love how the blue cracks almost immediately as it touches another nail colour. *Note: Crack only works when you have already applied a base colour. Does not work on plain nails*

The nail polish works very simple. Just apply any nail colour as base and my suggestion for blue would be using pastel colours, or contrasting colours like yellow, orange and just plain beige for the blue to stand out. I used a matt pearly white a base for this example and applied one coat of the blue crack nail polish for this effect.

I don't really remember how much I paid for the nail polish, but if I'm not wrong it's SGD$11.90, a fraction of O.P.I's price! The only thing is that they should produce more colours right?

[Makeup Tutorial] 987FM RSVP Chocs & Bunnies - Makeup / Nails

By now. lots of you should have seen my album "987FM RSVP Chocs & Bunnies" from FB. The makeup for that night was all sweet and candy-inspired colours.

I had my favourite purple contacts on to match the wonderful purple and blue fake lashes. I even added a crystal on each eye on the outer corners. It's not obvious, but the subtile touch, made my eyes 'sparkle' in the club.

I stretched my eye a little to show you guys the crystal.

I know this is pretty crazy look, but being the 'drama girl', I think my friends and hubby have treated it as nothing. But come on, attending a party is once in a lifetime, a time for you to do crazy things right?

See how colourful my lashes are?

I had a light pink till copper eyeshadow for that afternoon (Hehe! Didn't want to scare people when I'm shopping~). So for the party at night, all I did was just to wear my fake lashes and contacts, touched up my eyeshadow and I was ready to go! Easy right? I would say that's the way to transform from day look to heavy duty night look.

And because the party is all about chocolates and bunnies, cute colours and chocolates were what I did to my nails. Check them out --->

Cute right?

XOXO,

[Makeup Tutorial] Nails and Makeup to Gala Premiere of "Pirates of Caribbean: On Stranger Tides"

I was recently invited to the Gala Premiere of "Pirates of Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" and I knew I had to spot the dark eyeliner look on Captain Jack Sparrow that day.

All thanks to this trusty Etude House eyeshadow palette I acquired recently.

I used (1) - Matte Beige eyeshadow as base and (3) - Shiny White eyeshadow at the brow bone. And the final step is to apply (2) - Shiny Grey eyeshadow on the rest of the eye and (4) - Glittery Black eyeshadow from double eyelid to lashes. See below for better understanding.

So, on to the nail art. When you think of pirates what do you think of? Skulls, treasure chest and the main attraction of the film, mermaid eh? That's what I did exactly.

Thanks to my trusty O.P.I. nail polishes from the Pirates of Caribbean collection and crackle. This was the nail art I spotted that night.

The Pirates of Caribbean logo and overflowing jewels from the treasure chest.

This is a failure attempt on creating mermaid tail splashing on water. But it's still an idea eh?

XOXO,

Clé de Peau Beauté eye color quad (2)

My  friend's wife recently gave me an eye palette from Clé de Peau Beauté to try out. It's been a while I used eyeshadows that are non-M.A.C. 

Clé de Peau Beauté is part of the Shiseido family and these eye shadows are made with light-reflecting technology, which allows colour shading from subtle to intense and gives a silky flawless finish when used.
And the palette that I got are pretty natural colours and when I used it, it reminds me of those eyeshadows Japanese models featured in ViVi magazine used.

I love the colours and how there's mirror and brushes for applications. I can simply use this when I'm overseas and this is all I need. The light brown, light gold yellow and soft purple can be used in the daytime and if I were to go clubbing, I can just add on the dark purple.

See how sparkly and natural the colours are?

It's a little too light to show on my hand. So, here's some photos of me using the product. I'm liking the colours and have been wearing them for weeks. Don't think it's just 4 colours and you can't have different looks every day. Here are 2 examples of the different looks that I spot just by using the same product!

I used all the colours on the palette except the dark purple. Super clean look for  work.

This is the second look and it's purely the dark purple and light yellow eyeshadow for highlight.

XOXO,

Etude House Haul

Recently, Etude House @ Vivocity had a storewide 30% off promo. I was saving money but 30%! I just had to grab some things. So the moment I stepped in, I asked about almost every product and got almost everything the friendly sales girl had to offer.

I was like, since it's on sale, might as well try out those products that I've been wanting to right? I spent quite a bit that day and I'm very glad the products were so useful! Check them out~

My trusty masks. I just had to stock up on them.

Products that I'm gona try out.

I got these 3 products for the first time. I've tried the sample packs that Etude House gives out and they wworked magic for me, so I decided to get more!

Magic bubble peeling is actually an exfoliator that comes in foam. Super easy and you can have smooth smooth skin in just matter if seconds. I made a little video using the back of my hand for example.

See the difference? My left hand is so smooth....

Then, there's the Sleeping Pack. Just like the name, it's a mask that works while you sleep. So before sleeping, applying, let it dry a little (you dun wana stain your pillow right?), then get your beauty sleep. Next morning, your face will be smooth like babies skin! *I'll try to do a review soon*

I guess there's nothing more to say about the Baking Powder makeup remover right? It removes my water-proof eyeliner in minutes! YAY!

Next up: Makeup section.

New falsies. Will show ya guys the look soon.

I call this my tattoo brow pen.

Once, you've drawn it, there's no way to remove until you use makeup remover. So I can have beautiful brows all day long...

This reminds me so much of Alice in Wonderland.

Can you guess what this is?

Nice colours right? Stay tuned for the makeup looks using this palette.

Makeup Fixer holds on to my makeup for the whole day till I get home. Cool right?!

I got a Panda mirror and samples for the large purchase. LOL!

Stay tuned for more reviews on the products!

XOXO,
Christina aka Huney
