L--> Presentation Outfit

Hey hey
Long time no see=P
Actually I was pretty busy the last month with my masterpiece which is about make up, so I didn't had the time to write blog, do something for myself, even for make up!!! If you have see me lately, I haven't wear that much make up....or not at all!!! XD
Moreover I was so stressed that I don't even got time to shop, I mean go to the city!! It was a horrible time..without shopping
But I did shop on Ebay( another kind of shopping), which I'm going to write about, THIS MONTH
About my Essence of Beauty brushes!

For the presentation, I wanted to look professional, so I went to the H&M, the first place I'll go for a specific outfit, bc, you can find almost everything there, and the shop is great!
It's not that I'm going to wear it just once for this presentation, but I can also wear this for an interview or some official occasions

 I Do look very smart right??? HAHAH

In total, I spend 60 euro's on 3 items
A black gilet for 19,95
A black skirt for 19,95
A pair of black basic pumps for 19,95

I found my dream pumps, that I was searching for centuries!!! LOL
THESE are the ones that I've always wanted, I didn't know that they just sell them at the H&M and only for 19,95!!!!!
These are 9,5cm, not too high=P Just okay for me

 

 

R--> MAC Dazzleglass Jingle Jangle

I got this lipgloss from an uncle as a Christmas present(one of all those MAC goodies he gave me)
He got this in Taiwan last year when the Holliday Collection of MAC was still on sale.

I really like this color, it has a pinky/orangy base and purple, orange, and gold glitters
It reflects very beautiful in the sunlight

Just as every dazzleglass, it's sticky and has a standard MAC vanilla smell.
What I've notice is this dazzleglass won't make my lips have that white membrane
I don't know if they changed the ingredients, but I always have that white membran with my other 2 dazzleglasses.

It last very long just like normal, I did not lost any glitter in 5 hours and it's like I just applied it.
And I'm sure that it can last longer than 5 hours.

Product: 4/5
Price:3/5
Packaging:4/5
2nd? 5/5

L--> Candy look

Today's look is inspired by Elva's latest album: Diamond Candy
The eye look is combined with orange and blue, I think it's very special combination, and it looks very nice on her. Orange and blue represents the colorful candies/lollipops.
Actually she has small and chinese eyes, me too, but mine are rounder.

Face:
Kose Sekkisei Day Essence
Loreal True match Super blendable foundation #Apricot Ivory
MAC Blot Powder loose #Medium Dark
MAC Select Moisture cover #NW20
Red Earth concealer #BE004
MAC beauty powder blush #Sweetness
Catrice Soft Powder Rouge #060 Cafe au lait
MJ Cheek Customize #88

Eyes:
TFSI(base)
MAC p/p Bare Study (base)
MJ BR751 Reflect light pink & Lotus root color(1. entire eyelid+browbone 2. outer V)
MJ BR355 Brown (upper lashline)
MJ BR742 White purple(inner lower lashline+ inner corner)
MAC e/s Off the page (lid color)
MAC pigment Steel Blue (outer part of lower lashline)
Maybelline Eyestudio #03 Smokey Indigo(Darkest Blue) (outer corner of lower lashline)
BB Gel-liner #Espresso Ink (upper lashline as eyeliner)
Kose Visee Mascara BK002 (lashes)
Bourjois metallic eyeliner #52 Brun Inoxydable (waterline)
Rimmel Glam eyes mascara (lower lashes)

Duo eyelash adhesive Dark-tone
False Eyelashes

Lip:
Benefit Lip plump
MAC Glaze lipstick #Lollipop Loving
NYX Megashine lipgloss #Beige

 The fact that I don't have that pale skin like hers, I used a whiter tone foundation.
I didn't shaped my eyebrows, but mine look almost the same as hers, exept the color.

After applying the face part-including covering my dark circles and imperfections- I used TFSI and MAC p/p #Bare Study as eyeshadow base, also on my lower lashline.
Eyeshadow part: the orange color, I didn't went to my crease, but Elva does, I have to be very careful with orange/pink eyeshadows, it can make me looking tired.
She countoured her nose bone with a darke brown eyeshadow/rouge up from her brows to the side of her nose bone, so I did it too with a smaller eyeshadow brush, in this case I used Smashbox blending brush #03

I couldn't create the same lipcolor as hers, but I tried my best, I used benefit lip plump for covering my own lipcolor to wear a lighter lipstick.
I think I applied the wrong lipgloss. Her lipcolor on the picture is more coral/pink, but I don't own any coral/pink lipgloss....
Anyways, here are the pics...

 

DIY--> To press, pressing, pressed

Heey heey,

2 weeks ago I pressed my broken eyeshadow MAC Fineshine

And it was a succes, so I decided to press my pigments too

 

I followed the tutorial video from Enkore make-up

I think it's easy to follow, especially when you're not that good in DIY's, just like me

I tried to find some empty eyeshadow cans(or something like that) in the city, but I couldn't find them, so I decided to look on Ebay(which is bad for me, bc I ordered 2 more things that time=_=) for empty PALETTES! Then I found one palette including 15 empty cans with a diameter of 26mm, that is more or less the size of a 50 eurocent.

This palette's perfect for pressing eyeshadows, bc the cans are not stick on the palette itself and it was only $8.99 or something(I can't even remember=P)

The case is black and undecorated.

Year ago, I got 10 pieces of MAC pigments (sample size) in the following colors:

Teal (Which I gave to Paola, bc I got an other one in SE size)

Emeral Green

Golden Olive

Golden Lemon

Violet

Rose

Steel Blue

Electric coral

Your Ladyship

Vanilla

And I also have 5 SE pigments in:

But I only pressed the first 4, bc I wasn't sure if this method will work with MAC glitters.

Pink Mauve

Teal

Quietly

Frost

Reflects Blackened Red(Glitter)

 

besides, i made my own eyeshadows:

I just mixed eyeshadows, pigments together...

Don't ask me which one I used, bc I don't even remember it=_=

Ooh yeah I also pressed GOSH effect powder in Rose Gold and Blue bell

I can say, the color before and after pressing is almost the same, some are even more beautiful!

As I said, you can't even see the difference, my mother says that the color after pressing is more beautiful than the color in loose powder.

All you need is a small bottle of alcohol, I got it from the Kruidvat for 1-2 EURO's

And it's 96% Alcohol, it smells like perfume=_= it does not have a alcohol smell

Besides I used the AH coin for shopping cart and a kitchen towel for pressing the eyeshadows.

Because of the small amount of the sample size MAC pigments, I pressed 2 colors in 1 can. And I accidentaly add too much alcohol in Vanilla, so I decided to mix Vanilla(with too much alcohol) with Emeral Green. And I put it together with Your Ladyship. It's kinda good combination though, makes me thinking of Paul & Joe..dunno why...haha?

The Duo's

Left-> right

Electric Coral+Golden Lemon

Steel Blue+ Golden Olive

Your Ladyship+ Vanilla+Emerald Green

Rose+Violet

 Swatch on a paper towel

 

Every time just add a small amout alcohol and mix the pigments with a tool(Just like what Koren has, I have that in a smaller size)

After pressing, I decorated the case MY eyeshadow palette with stickers. You can do it too, use your creativity=) you can use any thing you want...Lace, stickers or just left it undecorated:P Keep it simple..

 

Result:

 

 

 Frost-> Blue Bell-> Rose Gold-> Teal

 

Quietly-> Home made eyeshadow-> Home made eyeshadow-> Pink Mauve

I am planning to make/mix some eyeshadows, and press them into those 3 left pans. 

2 Feb.

My pressed Gosh Effect Powder broke for the second time, so I decided to throw it away, bc I pressed it twice, and I don't know if it's still  going to work for the third time, and I still have a lot left in my original packaging.

BUT Rose Gold(The other color of GOSH) Didn't broke...I don't know why, I also pressed it twice=S (Confused)
