Product Review: Shu Uemura White Recovery EX Cleansing Oil

2012-01-27T01:40:00.000+08:00

I don't use heavy makeup on working days. In fact, after applying my skincare products, I straight away use some loose powder over my sunblock that contains makeup primer. If your sunblock does not contain primer, you have to use a primer before using your loose powder or BB cream or liquid foundation. The face primer, I was told can prevent the pores from clogging. Not sure how true it is but I

Product Review: Urban Decay Sky Scraper Mascara

2012-01-18T20:32:00.001+08:00

This Urban Decay Sky Scraper Mascara comes with the UD Eye Shadow Primer Potion set which I bought quite a while ago. This mascara is a sample size. Despite that, I still have not finished it yet because I seldom use mascara. The mascara wand has short bristle and can coat the lashes well, even the fine lashes Without Mascara With Urban Decay Mascara - eye lashes appears longer and more

Nail Art: Lav 024 Christmas Nail Art - Classic French Manicure for Christmas 2011

2011-12-17T16:30:00.004+08:00

French Manicure is my personal favourite among the many types of manicure. I love french manicure because it is looks classy and "expensive". At least for me, I think that sporting a French Manicure makes my hands look clean and posche. These are only my personal view. It may not necessary be true. Some girls just do not like French Manicure. Maybe I appreciate French Manicure more because of its

Nail Art: Lav 021 Konad Nail Art Christmas Design with Essie Nail polish

2011-12-11T21:10:00.001+08:00

Dear Friends Christmas is coming soon. I have a konad design to share. However, I would suggest you use a dark nail polish as the base for more intensity for the festive season. As I was just trying out, I used a very pale color that is almost invisible as it is too close with the nail color. Nevertheless, I like how clean it looks. I have a few more Christmas Nail Art design to share with

Dear Friends Finally, I bought the MAC 217 blending brush. It retails at RM92 in Malaysia if I'm not wrong but I got mine from MAC Hollywood. My friend who went to US helped me to get this. So, I got this brush at a slightly cheaper price. I have used this brush and would like to tell you that this is a very good blending brush. Great for smoky eye and other looks that requires great blending.

Product Review: LUS Wine Foot Packs

2011-11-26T21:24:00.001+08:00

I was sent some LUS Wine Foot Packs some time ago. I have tried them out and would love to share with you my experience and thoughts about the product. To begin with, I must admit that I pay less attention to my feet compared to my face. Do you have the same tendency as well? The most I do for my feet is to scrub them and put cracked heel cream. I have never tried any foot mask before so I was

Nail Art: Lav 020 Revlon Pink Again with lil' flowers

2011-11-25T21:39:00.001+08:00

This week I will show you another simple nail art design that I painted a while ago. I used Revlon Pink Again (no 180). It is a 3D pink color that unfortunately is not very easy to apply. The color needs 3 coats for more consistency. As I only applied 2 coats, it is not very even. Lazy =P I used the brown color nail art pen to draw the flowers Have a lovely weekend! Lavender♥
