BBB--> September favs

I'm trying to update my month favorites on time=) I think that's a good thing, cuz in the past, I always forgot to post my month favorites....and I don't want that anymore.

Since school!?(trying not to call it school anymore...) I mean university started in September. Every morning I have to wake up early and I don't have much time to apply make up...especially eyeshadow..
So I tried to keep it simple and at the mean time make my eyes look nice=)

The first thing is:
MAC eyeshadow in Carbon
It's just a matt eyeshadow, you can do either a smokey look or just use it as eyeliner. When you use it as an eyeliner, it will soften your look and it doesn't look as harsh as a normal eyeliner. I really like this! and I think every girl should have a black eyeshadow :P

Benefit Coralista blush
This blush is beautiful, it has fine shimmers and the color is pinky coral
I really like this blush especially in the morning, it makes your look fresh and cute
AND the most important thing is: you can never go wrong with this blush:P

Shiseido MJ mascara
I like this mascara because it's sooooo black, I always buy black mascara's but not all of them are "really" black! This one is really black, and after I curled it with my lashcurler, i apply 2 layers and it stays curl all day long...
of course combined with the mascara base from MJ aswell:P

MAC paintpot Bare study
This paintpot has been my all-time favorite.
Since I don't apply that mycg eyehsadow in the morning I don't have to apply TFSI and paintpot.
So I usally skip the TFSI and apply directly paintpot on my eyelids, so that the eyeshadow won't crease. and ofcourse I won't last as long as TFSI+paintpot(DUUUH)!

Last week I ordered 2 items on Ebay....I always wanted these 2 items.
first: the Seche Vite....
I've been hearing/reading everywhere how amazing this thing is, and I finally decided to order it
I tried it today, it's okay, but not as magical as I expected =S Or I just had too high expectations?
It makes nailpolish dry faster but not really fast like within 1 minute? It took like 2 miniutes to dry completely....
But could do anything I want after it dries completely, I did the dishes after it dries, and my nail polish looks just as nice as before.

And the other item was the O.P.I Dulce de leche=)
I tried it on in Korea, it's from my aunt.

I really like this color, it makes my hand look pretty and elegant


I think that's about it:D

PS I'm going to the MAC store on friday..yaaaay

BBB-->Life as a student

Since 6 September 2010 I'm officially a student of the Vrije University Amsterdam!
I'm studying Econometrics & Operational research, they're not 2 studies but 1.
It's basically a study including macro economics, mathematic and computational modelling in the first semester and we will get other subjects such as management accounting etc.
In the first semester we have a lot of maths, including calculus!
During lectures for Operational research, we learn how to solve a economical problem based on maths by writing formula's for the certain problem. After we found the optimal solution, we translate the mathematical formula's into a language thats understandable for everyone.



This is a full time study, you really need to spend a lot of time to do your homework. It's not a easy study...
So I really have no time to do other things next to my study
Everyday I try to sleep at 22:30 and the next morning I have to wake up at 6:45
It's important that you get enough sleep, by enough I mean you have to sleep more than 7 hours+ you have to sleep well!
If I don't sleep well, the next morning, it will be difficult for me to stand up and concentrate during the lectures.

BUT life as a "busy"student doesn't automatically means that life is boring, it means that you spend your time to do useful things, you don't waste your time at all!
And since I study in Amsterdam, I can easily take the metro to the city to shop!!!!
BTW, I'm planning going to the MAC store probably next week:P

That's just a quick update of my life as a student=)
I'm really enjoying it, it's like I'm born to study..hahaha
Enjoy your life is the most important thing, be positive and faithful!

AND Stay pretty!!!

L-->PINK

I told you guys before that I couldn't wear pink eyeshadow, my mom said that my eyes are weird and swollen when I'm wearing pink eyeshadows.
That's a common problem for asian eyes.
But I want to find a way to wear pink eyeshadows, cuz I think pink eyeshadow is really pretty and I have 2-3 pink eyeshadows that I don't use, and that is such a waste.

Today I combined pink with brown, and tried to wear false lashes to cover up the pink color, so that the pink doesn't look that obvious.

Base:
Shu Uemura UV mousse base
Clinique superfit foundation #65
Skin Food Cream blush #28
MAC blot powder loose # Medium dark

Eyes:
TFSI
MAC Paintpot #Bare study
MAC eyeshadow # Sushi flower
Kanebo Lavshuca eyeshadow palette OR-1
Shiseido Majolica Majorca BR-751
Solone eyepencil #black
Kose Fasio hyper-stay mascara magne plus curl volume #black
Make up forever Aqua eyes #2L

you can use any dark brown and pink, just remember that you have to put pink on the inner side of your eyelids, and brown on the outer side.

Don't put pink up to your brows, that will make you look like you're tired.


Remember, keep it clean, if you make any mistakes, just clean it with a q-tip and start again. Be patient!

Lips:
Benefit lip plump
Maybelline color sensational lipstick #170 Darling pink
MAC lustre lipstick # Angel

False lashes:
DUO Lash adhesive 
采粧 交叉6黑( I bought this in taiwan, it looks very natural, just like your own lashes)

You can use any natural looking false lashes!

I hope you like this look=)

BBB--> August favs

It's been a long time since I wrote a month favs blogpost
I didn't had the time in the past few month to write it, but mostly, it's because I forgot to write..hahah how terrible is that?

Okay, so I'm gonna start my August favorites(not only make up)

Let's start with the make up products.
1. Shiseido Integrate eyeshadow palette in BR730
It was supposed to look like this:

And now it looks like this:

This is the eyeshadow palette that never goes wrong, with that I mean, even though you're a beginner, it won't go wrong.
So if I don't have time to create a look by choosing colors from different eyeshadows, I'll always go for this palette.
The color matches all kinds of outfits.
I even took it with me when I went to Korea.

2. Solone magic waterproof eyepencil in black

I swear! This is the best eyeliner pencil that I've used, even better than the MAC one.
It's not a kohl eyeliner pencil, the product is made from kind of gel-liner, but more solid so that it can stays in the pencil.
This brand is a Taiwanese brand calls Solone, everything is made in Taiwan
It's been very popular between the taiwanese make up bloggers. Also the brushes are impressed by the make up guru's, because it's cheap, but it has a good quality
I haven't tried their brushes yet, but I'm sure I will.
The eyeliner comes with 8 colors: Black, sliver black, golden black, brown, silver, blue, silver grey and purple
I got the black one, cuz I thought this color is more useful.

This eyepencil is amazing, it's soft,easy to draw,waterproof and cheap.
I absolutely love this, and I'm definitely going to purchase more in the future.

3. Clinique Superfit make up #65 super neutral

I love this fluid foundation, it appears so natural on your face, it's not heavy/thick at all. And the most important, it doesn't cause me acne!
The coverage is good, and the texture is fluid, not thick.
I've been using this in Taiwan, when it was 33C outside. I didn't have to apply it over and over again in the afternoon, cuz it stays all day long and it does not melt under the sunlight
moreover it's not expensive at all, it was NT$1000, so about 20-23 euro's for 30ml.

4. MAC Cremesheen glass # Over Indulgence

I love love this cremesheen glass, it's so sheen and pretty.
I've been carrying this in my make up bag since I got back in Holland. And I will always take this with me I think=D

5. Shu Uemura UV underbase mousse.

This is the new one, with a new formula. The mousse is more saturated and the SPF was 17 and now upgraded to 30.
I like to use this before applying any kinds of foundation, because it's so light and it makes foundation easier to apply.

6. Majolica Majorca's mascara base and Kose Fasio hyper- stay magne mascara

I've used this mascara base for about an year now,  I absolutely love it, it makes my lashes longer and fuller. But you have to combinate it with a good mascara. For me it works the best with Benefit badgal mascara and the Kose Visee curl volume mascara.
This Fasio works also great with this mascara base, but just not as good as the 2 I've mentioned.
I like this mascara in general, there's nothing to complain about this mascara. I like to use it, and I'll keep it in mind that this will always work if I ever needed one for emergency use=P

7. The body shop mineral bronzer in warm glow

8. Sigma SS217 brush and MAC 209SE

I love this SS217 brush, it's so handy and easy to apply any eyeshadow! And even works great with eyeshadow creams!

I got the MAC SE brush set from my aunt. I includes the MAC 209SE, 219SE and the 252SE
I also have this brush in mini size, but I love this travel size even more. It's so easy to apply a thin line. The brush is soft and thin.

9. EVELINE slim extreme intensely slimming+ firming serum

I got this from my aunt, she loves it, it's basically a slimming serum, but it's so cool after you apply it. I always apply it on my legs after a shopping spree, it works great for reducing stress.

The only problem is that I don't know where to purchase it, cuz it's a Polish brand.

10. Clinique 3 step system + turnaround concentrate visible skin renewer+moisture surge+turnaround facial masque.

I love the Clinique 3-steps sytem.
The lotion is so clarifying, the gel is gentle and moist, the facial wash is gentle and cleans your face well.
I can't describe how much I love this skincare line. It makes my skin looks better, and I can tell, it also makes my skin healthier.
I also purchased the turnaround concentrate.
Here's the description from the official site:

High-performance cocktail of exfoliating ingredients prompts a renewal process that is multilevel, time-released. Speeds fresh cells to the surface. Continually unveils brighter, more radiant skin. Leaves skin with a velvety feel and a perfected look. 

This turnaround concentrate works the best with the turnaround  masque
Description:

In 5 minutes, this high-performance facial delivers all the radiance and smoothness of microdermabrasion-with significantly less irritation and stress to skin. Promotes surface cell turnover on multiple levels to instantly unveil skin that's fresher, more vibrant and even-toned. Oil free. Use 2-3 times a week for an instant brightness boost.

The masque is basically a exfoliating masque. You apply a thin layer on your face(with your fingers, not a brush), let it dry for about 5 mins, and when you're rinsing it off, you can srub your face with the tiny scrub that appears.
It makes your face bright and soft.

OOPS I just made it too long again xD
See you next month=D
