Fashionesedaily Makeup Class

Well helow..
Couple days ago i joined an annual makeup class held by Fashionesedaily forum. I was having so much fun. Trained by the super nice and humble mentor Darwyn Tse (Training Manager of MAC cosmetic), i learned how to maximize my makeup collections to achieve the Hollywood Celebrities Looks such as Ditta von teese, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian.

Here are some pics from the event



The beautiful lady in the middle is Hani, founder of Fashionesedaily blog and forum. She's awesome! not to forget very pretty also :)

Me with some new friends



FOTD: Ditta Von Teese looks (geez, i'm not ready for red lippie)




FOTD: Kim Kardashian looks




To get this look, I used Nyx single and palette eyeshadow
TBS bronzer on my cheeks
Nyx Circe + Beautystyle shy blush on my lips
For the face, i used MAC Studio Sculpt NC42 + concealer NW35 (undereye)


U know what, the foundation is actually great on normal- oily t-zone skin like me. I've never tried MAC Studio sculpt before, and pretty amazed by it actually. Yes I know the review is not that good at Makeupalley, but surprise surprise, it does looks good on me :D
I mean, i blotted my face after 4 hours, and 6 hours later my face still looked well polished. The one con about this is that it makes you look a lot lighter in photos. You can tell instantly by lookin at my first FOTD pic.
The foundie gives me good coverage without feeling thick nor greasy. Well i think it is also depends on the brush you use with it. Darwyn applied the foundation lightly with 188 stippling brush and the result was superb.
And for that, this Studio Sculpt foundation is officially jump in to my makeup drooling list :)

Cotton ink

Yap, I've been bitten by cotton ink bug. And I'm officially in love with their acid wash shawl, they're amazing! The shawls as their signature product are so versatile, you can wear it as a long shawl, crop cardigan, a cape, anything you named it.
For those of you who have never heard this Indonesian brand you can visit their blog at cottonink

I have known this brand for a while, but somehow it was just never appeal to me. In my personal opinion, the "sarung like" shawl was really not my style.

But when i finally decided to add some sparks on my casual, plain and oh so boring clothes, suddenly i found my self collecting 5 shawl within 2 weeks LOL.

Not to forget the reaction of my hubby when i first showed him my shawl.. it was like "what is this? some kind of mops or what?" haha.. men..

I do think that the shawl is nice and very unique, but sorry to say, the stitching and the finishing is not that special. And too bad that they don't even put a label on it.. i don't know whether they did it on purpose or not.
Dear cottonink, i want the world to know that i'm wearing the real cottonink, not the fancy cheap replica one...

Btw here's a pic of my shawl collection:



And this is me wearing acid Total Eclipse as a crop cardigan:


I've showed you mine, so let me see yours :) see ya!

I got it back. Only it's bigger!

A month ago a sold my Balenciaga City Bag for some reason. And it turned out to be my biggest remorse after all. I missed it soo much it hurts :(
After weeks of searching for the new bag.. i finally found what i was looking for. Balenciaga Cafe 2007 in Work size. Well I believe some things happen for a reason. The bag is exactly the same color as my previous one, same years and season, only the size that makes the difference. Work is bigger than the City.. and no shoulder strap included (I'm not using it anyway).
I always like a BIG bag.. so this Work size is a perfect size for me.

Here's the beautiful pictures of my new (to me) Balenciaga Bag..
The leather is very soft, better and even softer than my previous City bag.. it is smooshy and pillowy.. i want to hug her everyday :)


Color: Cafe
Size : Work/officier
Years : 2007
Hardware : Gold Giant Hardware



Some moddeling pics..







And this pic was taken right before i sent my City bag to the new owner.. Nicely packed and ready to go. Bubye love, i hope your new owner taking care of you better than me.


Thank you hubby, you really make it happen. And yup.. I'm officially banned and learning to live with it. LOL..

Nyx round lippie

Whoops.. it's been two months since my very last post. Sorry for my hiatus.. I've been doing some project that made my blogging time become so tight.

Ok, for today let me do swatches from my new added Nyx round lipstick collection . I guess everybody have already know how creamy, pigmented and easy to glide the Nyx lipstick is. So, no more review for this one, just color swatches. I hope the picture is clear enough.. enjoy :)
Oya, you can always click the picture for a larger view..



In this picture, i use Nyx Mars and Nyx Tea.. Mars looks very pink on my lips but not in a bad way..
Since I'm not really into a -pinkish only- shade, adding some Tea will be perfect to makes the color appearance a lil bit brown.

Gina Gina Gina..

Hai everyone.. this is how Nars Gina shows on my cheeks.. applied with stippling brush..
maybe it looks like a lil bit peachy on the pic, but in IRL it's pure orange.




I use no eye makeup.. just BB cream, venus loose powder in transparent, and Nyx Circe + Boots no.7 lipgloss in Tease.. and off course nars Gina :)
