Bright Blue Eyes

I remember that I did a post about blue eye shadow from Derek Lam Fall/Winter 2010.

The blue also remind me of bright blue eye tutorial from youtuber, pixiwoo that inspired from Gucci RTW Spring Summer 2009. This look focus just on the eyes, where bright blue is use. Then the eyes are smugded with black liner on both upper and lower lashline.

So after evening the skintone with foundation and concealer, I apply MAC Paint Pot in Painterly up to the brow.

Then for the bright blue eyeshadow, what I see on the tutorial is that the blue used are not just bright but almost like turquoise. Unfortunately I don’t have any eyeshadow that is closer to turquoise. But I would say, MAC To the Beach Eyeshadow in Humid will do. I do love MAC eyeshadow because of the intense colour, however Flashtrack which I own is more deep blue, so I just have to mix and get it closer to the colour (actually hopeless, Flashtrack is too dark... but I still like the final colour).

So what I did is that, first I blend lightly and softly MAC Flashtrack on the upper lid up to the socket and blend it quite high up to the brow and on the inside of the eyes (toward the nose bridge). But keep the space just below brow free of the blue.

Then, I slowly build the colour by blending with all three colour from Za Eyeshadow Trio in E6, from deeper to the white (the white in trio somehow has like green sheen and reflects) and the final colour look more bright.

Why do I still put on MAC Flashtrack eventough it is not the right blue?

It is because I like the intensity, it make the colour from Za trio more strong.

Remember also not to wing out the eyeshadow too far of the outer corner (no flicking).

Then, trace the upper lashline with black liner and blend outward. Again nothing is wing out. Then trace the lower lashline leaving the waterline free.There are absolutely no blue shadows under the eye.

Then I highlight the waterline with Revlon Matte Peach Sorbet and I also blend the light colour on the free space between the blue shadow and the brow. This will make the blue stand out more.

I use the slanted brush and apply black eyeshadow (Rimmel After Dark) on the black liner, upper and lower lashline (leave out the waterline) and blend. Finish the look with black mascara.

Then, a bit of bronzer on the hollow of cheeks and very little of Elianto Blusher in Nude Pink on the apple of the cheeks (the colour is almost invisible).

For the lips, I did the look base on the tutorial where she use a sheer pale pink gloss, but then on the picture of Gucci is more of beige gloss. I prefer the pale pink one, so I just fill my lips with Silkygirl Lipliner in Nude and apply Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Glossy Rose.

It may seem like a typical eyeshadow look but it's not... the attention it gives to the shape of the eyeshadow and the fact that the waterline is left without any black and NO BLUE at all under the eye makes a different. Apart from the beige lips, I absolutely have no problems with this look...

PS : I don't know if you notice the different, but I wear BB cream under all the makeup... I thought I want take a closer look at my BB cream again... I notice it does brighten up my face despite not in skintone... However, since I always be the type to wear very precise full coverage base makeup (thick??)... I feel like it was unnecessary to wear this... unless, I stop wearing my foundation and concealer I might use this (which usually never)... so yeah...

PSS: Well, I would not say I hate BB cream... probably I will post a review about it... I realize I'm not into BB cream, so I will put my BB cream up for sale... I bought it for RM 32 ?? I believe, and I am selling this at RM 17.oo

(just Check out the previous post on what I am also selling)

Kamisama Kazoku....(nothing much)

I remember this one time I borrow my friends hard disk to get the episode for Family Outing. Yeah, I really enjoy Korean Variety! However, I check out anime folder she has, and I just saw this and copy it. I thought I just want to give this a try.

Kamisama Kazoku come out in 2006 and it is a harem genre anime (so you could expect a guy surrounded by a lot of girls).

This anime revolve around Kamiyama Samatarou, who is suppose to be son of God. As the name of Kamisama Kazoku, literally mean God Family... Samatarou and his family live on Earth as human to learn about human lives, probably help Samatarou to learn his duty better before he take over the family business (being God). His family consist of his father, Papa, mother, Mama, his sister, Misa and little sister, Meme. His mother and sisters supposedly are Goddesses. Then there is Tenko, a femal angel that suppose to be guardian of Samatarou.

Life was boring for Samatarou as there isn’t any challenges for him (since he is son of God) but everything soon change when Samatarou fall for the new girl name Kumiko. So, not only this is about Samatarou wooing Kumiko before she left but it also test Samatarou and Tenko relationship... Tenko and Samatarou feelings will unravel little by little, but remember it is not the end of Kumiko.
Romance and love interest gurantee!!

The animation, I would say is average, nothing too detailed.
The story line does get twisted without ending. Some episode I just find non-coherent. One time he likes Kumiko, then he want to be human, the he had a child, the actually he kiss Tenko, then.... Tiba-tiba je...

Oklah, still enjoying. What I do not enjoy was this as a Harem genre... especially when it also include his mom and sis... that is just creepy (but then again there are many Japanese anime that are creepy)...

So apart from Samatarou weird Mama and Misa, okaylah... since I did enjoy watching the love triangle between Samatarou, Kumiko and Tenko... (but to be honest, they could really amp up the conflict... the thing is just too light)...
I believe most already can guess who will Samatarou end up with?

Would I watch it again? No, everytime I finish an episode I delete it....

Overall : 3 out 5...

you don't really miss anything if you haven't watch it...

PS : It is been a while since I post about something I watch...

It started off with an orange lips

Yes, I just had the BSMS interview this evening and it was fine. I couldn't denied there are things that I wish I have said better. All in all, I just glad it was over. I am really hoping that I would get a placement there. Since last week, I had put off to post about this look because I want to focus more for the interview. Now that it is over, finally I can go on with this post.

Lately, I notice in magazine (female, CLEO, Cosmopolitan) there rave about orange lips, some may say coral lips, tomato lips, orange-red lips... whatever it is, it revolve around orange. I do like this colour, very best worn on warm skintone like Asian skintone. The rave about this also remind me of Hyun-ah looks in 4minute’s “Muzik” music video where Hyun-ah this very orange juicy lips...but there are trend with deeper reddish orange like tomato.

Spring Summer 2010

The one with shades from Prada, right is Gianbattista Valli, Bottom is Christian Dior

The orang-red can be perfect and versatile as long as you have this two colour, a real red (red with blue undertone) and orange lipcolour. For me, my mix of orange-red lipcolour using MAC Satin Lipstick in Alibi and Revlon Matte Lipstick in Really Red. To amp up the orange I use coral-like lipliner. I have test it out on me (and the result is great, I wish I had picture of it) and I just have to try it on my sis. My sis is more interested with brighter orange like Hyun-ah and after the lips I start to devicing this final from anything I have seen before.

(I just play around)

After finding the perfect orange shade for her lips, which she prefer in medium tone, I decide to put more colour as I see the lips is not really overpowering. This is different compare the deeper tomato-red lips or more solid colour (like Prada), the best is to keep the rest of the face bare and the lips itself is a statement.

So I complement the orange-lips with gold-beigey eyeshadow (the gold from L’oreal Star Secret Penelope Cruz Quads) on the upper lids and lower lids. I wouldn’t suggest a more yellow gold (like the gold from Silky Girl duo in Golden Emerald) since it can be too much. Then I define the crease with bronzy brown and blend. For the final touch I gave my gave my sis a full black-rimmed eye.
Okay, I would like to be more specific on the black-rimmed eye. Often women do it will end-up looking too gothich or an Egyptian... but that is not what I intend for. So, with a light hand using black pencil just trace softly along the upper lashline while looking down and into the inner corner. Then look up, start tracing just on the waterline only, and only that. Don’t come out to the lower lashline or it will end up looking over the top. Clean it up and don’t make it too messy. Define the lashline with golden again. Finish it off with black mascara.

So about the complexion, since I put too much attention on both lips and eyes I kept the face flawless and matte. I didn’t use any blusher or highlighter. But just give more colour I just put a hint of bronzer on the hollow of the cheeks and this also gave contour.
My sis really love gloss, so for her sake I top the lips with gloss in coral and this also enhance the orange shade on the lips and give a pretty finish. What I love about this look is that the eyes make lips shade look more sophisticated instead of candy-sweet chic and the attention of the black liner is not too intense to make my sis into a gothic angel.


PS: Selamat menyambut RAMADHAN....semoga Ramadhan ini menjadi istimewa sebagaimana tahun2 sebelum ini...

AAHHHHHH!!!

Okay, like most of my friends and other people know, I got

Medical INterVIEW this Tuesday!

Suddenly I feel I'm out time...

Suddenly I just remember,

PSS: Sorry, I'm just being nervous...

The Bodyshop Nature's Mineral Foundation

Okay, finally I manage to finish and get rid of the The Bodyshop Nature’s Mineral Foundation, RM99. This foundation has successfully made me think twice before going natural and all-mineral....
At first, I thought of buying this to save more time and at the same time, to try out mineral foudation, to see what’s the HYPE about. I thought about doing this review for a while, but I still want to give it time and I decide to finish the product first.

When I put this on, I accept it to be light to medium coverage (eventhough, the sale assistant says otherwise, 'it can cover acne',that bulls***t), for me, it’s too light on the brink of it being translucent... and we have a product called translucent powder, that is not what I sign up for RM99.
Continue on, after a while, I realize that my face become really shiny.. (it is always shiny, but this shiny is like I’m not putting on any makeup)... so I would say that this does not really have oil-control properties, or their oil-control properties just suck!
Then, I also felt uncomfortable while wearing this. It make my skin felt more bumpy (it’s already quite bumpy actually) and it has no smooth feeling like I should feel after wearing foundation and powder. Some people said that this cause breakouts. It does not necessarily break me put since I’m always prone to that, but I do felt uncomfortable and tight on my skin.

Okay, the colour range is also not the best, only up to 5 shades I believe. It was also annoying that I can’t really get the little more left out of the sift... rip off!

So overall, I gave it 1 out of 5, (1 just for having sun protection)

PS: The best thing about this range from The Bodyshop is that the KABUKI brush. I believe I have posted both the mineral foundation and the brush. Yes, the mineral foundation brush is as soft as it seems on the picture. Eventhough it’s synthetic , but it was really soft and not scratchy at all. This brush is dense enough for buffing powder into your skin and I love using it with my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. The Bodyshop Mineral Foundation Brush, RM 79 is a good brush to purchase if you can’t afford MAC, or Makeup Forever one.

Purple Eyes Look...

Last week, my family and I went this wedding (it was my 2nd cousin getting married) in Shah Alam. What I like about that day is that, after realizing, it’s been a while since I get ready and putting on makeup, I finally get to do that. It has been a long time since I went out, yeah, I do go out to work, but it is not really a great motivation for to play with makeup, especially when I don’t want to look too made-up while wearing my uniform T-shirt and jeans.

I thought about Purple Eyeshadow and that reminded me of Purple Smokey Eyes done by pixi2woo in Youtube. However, it’s been a while since I watch that, and I forgot everything other than she applying purple shadow all over her lids.

And then, like Kimora Lee Simmons said “ TIME WAIT FOR NO WOMEN”,

I was out of time.

I just finish my base makeup, just about to pick up my eye shadow brush and my dad has already started the engine. So I just finish it up by mixing the black and purple together and I end up with this smokey purple black eyes. Then I just grab my mascara, pink nude lipstick and nude lipliner and finally my black heels, run out of the house into the car, afraid that my dad will start yelling “Cepatlah!!”.

In real life, my eyes was really dark but it was up to the crease, so in pictures, usually, I tend to nod and my heavy eyelids will cover my eyemakeup. So too bad, can’t really show how it was really like.

Me and my same-age cousin, she's married.

When I got home, I wasn’t pleased with how the day end. So I check out the videos back and I realize how different was the look and the actual one look more pleasing. So, as usual, I try it on my sister.
1. First of all, even your skintone. I’m using my sis’s Elianto Oil Free Liquid Foundation and The Bodyshop Concealer.
2. Eyes : First of all, I will always apply my Peach Sorbet Revlon Matte Shadow all over the lids as base shadows. Then I started dabbing the purple shadows with eye shadow brush, don’t brush, dabbed and press the purple shadow and make the colour dense on lids. I use Rimmel Duo Eyeshadow in Brit Cool, RM 16.00 (I think, but it’s cheap). Apply the colour up to slightly above crease.

It was depressing with this Rimmel shadow, as it was too fade and sheer, maybe I was the unlucky one to pick the defects one. This is why I thought of purchasing MAC shadow (coming soon haul!).

Continue on, do the same on the lower lids. Then with the pink shadow, blend the colour on the inner corner and above and also above the crease to give more dimension ( make it look more violet and less pink).

See, it is quite fade right. But in real life, okaylah.

3. Then look up, trace the black liner only on the waterline and enhance it with black shadow, Rimmel Mono in After Dark (should be less than RM15). Then, just put on again the purple shadow to make it more defined and no harsh line between the black and purple. Then, take a blending brush and blend only the edge of the purple shadow with the skin. Curl the lash and finish it up with black mascara.
4. For the apple of the cheeks, Elianto Nude Pink Blusher, I apply using the dual fibre brush by Etude House, RM40.00 (I believe). Then, using my trusty highlighter, MAC Verve-acious, RM 80 from Fafi Collection, apply on the cheek bones, bridge of the nose, inner v-corner of the eyes and under the brow bone.

5. Lastly, after moisturize with lipbalm, trace and fill in the lips with nude lipliner, I use Silkygirl in Nude , RM 16 and apply nude pink lipstick, Maybelline Watershine Pure in B24, RM24. I don’t use lipgloss, since Maybelline lipstick is very glossy.

so:-

This is the final look... love it! (actually all the picture are final look... hehe,
I just like my sis being photogenic)

PS: I just can't wait to purchase stuff from MAC, even tomorrow seems a long time to wait... I just have to make sure, I remember to blog about it and put it into my Makeupalley Diary. ( I like to do that to keep update with what I have and to remember the price)

Is nothing personal, it's just my circumstances...

As most people knew, yes I started working a month ago...

and as most people knew, I quit last Friday...

so, yeah, I just work for a month?

Why? I don't know...

Little that I know, that Thursday when I meet Matul and Jack, I end up working as a cashier at Popular Bookstore...

The story of my impulse behaviour...

To tell the truth, I did really had a hard time adjusting as a cashier... with all the scanning, barcode, buttons, coins, short or over and RM 10 note that always run out... I always find myself confused and dreaded the day... to make it worse, I work from 10.30am to 9.30 pm and on weekends 10.00 am to 10.00 pm... or is it because of the senior cashier and supervisor that are quite 'garang'...

I almost felt I want to quit the first day of work... I do actually...

I tell myself, I will get use to this after awhile.. and I do, after three days I think..

(which is after my first off-day)

but seriously it's nothing related to this place I work... it is just due to my circumstances that I can only work for a month. Given the thought if I for sure will only continue my study next year, I might still working there? (maybe?)

Well, the whole month was a great exprience.. yeah, I was never a cashier and yes, I don't really give a damn if I'm late for something..

but since there are something we call 'PUNCHCARD' , and it will turn red if you are late, I get worry.. but nonetheless, Fana will always will be Fana, by the end of the month I alway got red. But I believe, it was pretty decent compared to other staffs.

It does make me sick, counting money everyday

(especially when the money does not belong to you)...hhhhhhhh....

and comment I heard while counting after closing the store, 'lembablah'...

not only I it was hurtful, it was also distracting... making me lost count and makin 'lembab'...

I also met new people there... and I appreciate the new friendship created there...

too bad, I can't get to know them better, but it was great guys, so thank you...

to be honest, I do notice and realize something...

probably I am still not cut out for the working world,

but maybe I'm saying this because I'm not that desperate for money yet..

people work to make a living...

even they hate it, they hate their collegues or employer , maybe..

but they still got up to work because they want to make a living...

but please, it never crossed my mind to undermine a 3 figure pay-job...

I do really appreciate the experience of working at the Popular Bookstore, Ampang Point Outlet.

PS: You know, as I always predicted, I get to meet many friends from my old school...

My juniors, my old classmates and also seniors... not to forget even my neighbour...

and I believe my old schoolmates is replacing me as the new cashier... well good luck for you...

PSS: Since it was been a month, I haven't really updating my blog...

but there are ideas for my vanity posts... I will update on that...
