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

R--> The body shop blush + bronzer

Recently I got the blush from the Body Shop, it was free, because I got the eighth heart of the Love Your Body member card
The new membercard looks like this:

By getting the eighth heart/point you can choose a product that's worth 15 euro's, so I chose this blush.
It's from the new mineral make up line I think...
anyways, when I saw this line for the first time, I thought of the mineral line from MAC.

This blush looks like the blushes from the Grand Duo colletion. I can't say which one this blush looks like, because I don't own any blush from the Grand Duo colletion( I do own a duo mineralize blush from the Too Fabulous colletion)
If I look at the swatches from the Grand Duo colletion, this one looks a little bit like Intenso. But I'm sure it's not a dupe of it
There are 2 shades, one is more pink(probably looks like the Moon River mineralize blush from MAC)
This shade is called: Coral
The texture is soft and the color is sheer, it has a little bit of glow on it
It's actually very pretty when I look at it, and I'm sure it's also pretty on your cheeks=)
You can use the peachy color for highlighting and the pinky color just for blush

Here's the swatch...


The packaging looks cheap, but it's actually from a good quality, so if you take care of it, I think I should last till the end?

Product: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Packaging: 3/5
Buy it again?: 2/5

I also got the bronzer a few months ago, I thought I write it in the same post cuz they're both from the same line.
I remember I got the bronze because there was a 30% off discount(+10% from your love your body card) on the make up line. This one costs 8 euro's, not expensive at all!!
This one makes think of the Mineralize skinfinishes from MAC.
I do have 1 MSF from MAC, it's the MSF in Gold Deposit
It looks a little more brown than this one...
There are only 2 shades, one is darker(probably as dark as the  Gold deposit MSF) I wish they had more shades
I got the lighter shade, it's called: Warm glow

Here's the swatch of it
First I wasn't really interested in this product
But then I tried it...it's AMAZING
It added a healthy glow on my face, even my mom asked me what I've used.
after I told her what I used, she borrowed it everyday till I took it with me on vacation!
 I took this picture a while ago, just to show you how glowy your face will look like


The texture is also soft. I just use the ELF powder brush to apply it on my face.

Product: 5/5
Price: 3/5(original price is like 22 euro's)
Packaging: 1/5...(cuz the product just fell out the packaging=_=)
Buy it again?: 4/5

R-->MAC Cremesheen glass # Over indulgence


I got this cremesheen glass when I was in Korea.
We went to the biggest outlet from Korea, they have brands like COACH, GUCCI, Addidas, Nike, Lacoste etc.
But there was also a cosmetics outlet....they have brands like Bobbi Brown, Shu Uemura, Estee Lauder and MAC!!!!
I was kinda decided that I am going to buy something...
there wasn't a lot of items, most of products are from a certain collection but not sold out yet, like the eyeshadows from the style warriors collection. But there were also permanent items like the fluidline and eyeliner pencils...I don't know why they were there..

This cremesheen glass is from the Too fabulous collection that was launched in March 2010(international)
But the cremesheen glasses are permanent
I also got the Bi-tone mineralize blush from this collection, but not at the outlet store.

I can't remember how much does it cost....I thought it was around $10,- 13 euro's
much cheaper than in the netherlands even in taiwan and the US.( duuh it's an outlet, it's supposed to be cheaper.hahah)
for only $10, it's worth a try!?
I've never used cremesheen glasses before, and to be honest, I wasn't that interested in that either.
But then I got this, and I totally fell in love with it
It's not sticky at all...like the dazzlegalsses
Even it has the same packaging as the dazzleglasses, the brush is different....
The dazzleglass has lip brushes unlike the cremesheen glass. It has a hairy thing as an applicator. I perefer both, as long as it's easy to apply....


The pigmentation is great, the color on your lips looks just like the color in the glass itself.
The color is brownish, very sheer and it's not sticky at all, it stays for a couple of hours, sure 3-4 hours.

The smell is just like the "MAC smell" kinda vanilla!

Product: 5/5
Price:3/5 ( for the regular price)
Packaging:4/5
2nd? 5/5

L--> Park Bom you and I mv



it's been a long time since I did a look
I remember the last time was the look from Elva from her latest album: Diamond candy

Today I did a look that was inpired by the music video from Park Bom
She's from a Korean girls group called 2NE1
This song(You and I) is her single
After I heard this song, I totaly fell in love with it, so I decided to do a look that was inspired by her make up in this music video.

Here is the music video:





hehe...she's so pretty(whether she had plastic surgery or not, I don't care)


The focus will be on the eyeliner, her eyes are actually prettty small, she used eyeliner to make her eyes look bigger.
I did the same by filling the outer parts of my eyes with black gel-liner
also the waterline and the upper inner eyeline(invisible eyeline) have to be filled
eventhough she has long lashes, but I think it won't make any difference, because the eyeliner is already black enough, and you might won't be able to see the lashes, so I didn't focus on the eyelashes, I just put on regular mascara that I use everyday.
I just used a dark brown eyeshadow for my eyelids to make the look more focused on the eyes,,,you can use any kind of dark brown, it won't be a problem
And the base make up is also important, because you want that flawless face to make your eyes look more intense

Last but not least, the lips, she has rosy lips, and I don't xD
So I used the benefit lip plump(it's actually a lip concealer) to cover my own lip color. For the rosy lips I use the NYX roundlipstick in Fig



Base make up:
Shu Uemura UV underbase mousse SPF 30 PA+++
ENPRANI Super Aqua BB cream SPF27 PA++
ZA powder foundation #22
Artdeco Camouflage Cream
Catrice soft poweder rouge 060 Cafe au lait
MAC Mineralize blush #Bi-tone
Shiseido Majolica Majorca highlight powder #88

Eyes:
TFSI
MAC Paintpot # Bare study
Shiseido Majolica Majorca eyeshadow quad #BR751
Bobbi Brown gel liner # Black Ink
Solone magic waterproof eyepencil EL-01
MAC eyeshadow #Carbon
Shiseido Majolica Majorca mascara base
Kose Fasio hyper-stay mascara magne-plus curl volume

Lips:
Benefit lip plump
NYX roundlipstick #Fig



this look is not that dramatic, so I would definetly wear this to school or any occasions
If you have any questions about how to make this look, pleas feel free to comment below

Thanks=D
