It has really been a while since i get down and dirty (ok maybe not quite going to that direction) on doing hauls. I got myself seated and gathered and hit the record button. I got stuffs from Inglot, since my goodie friend went back to KL. She got these at Mid Valley in case you are wondering. When i received it from her, i was so happy it came in a hot pink mini bag from Inglot. How cute!!! Irresistible!Well, as you know my sister is going to get engaged in June so i am going to be her event planner (unpaid) and her MUA (doing it on a good will and since i loved it, i did not mind). So, it is just another GREAT excuse for me to stock up and buy make ups! My main purpose was to get an eye glitter which i wanted to make her look her best that day. I wanted a tone down lightly sculpted make up and a bling-bling eye make up. So, i went to Inglot and went to explore. And i found this amazing body sparkles in no.68. It really is super fine and due to that, it goes everywhere. I was rather unhappy though at a price of RM70, thhe quantity of the product was really pathetic. Its so little! I think not even a full teaspoon. Nyeeh~Anyway on to what I have got. They are the AMC Gel Liner in No. 82 and 84 and a Duraline. The gel liners are so creamy yet so hard to remove after swatching the back of my hand. That only mean good things. haha! Here are what they look like "exposed" from their cover. Beautiful glitters and colours form the gel liners aren't they? Here is the swatch of the liner. What i bought a week before the haul was two products form MAC. it has been a while since i bought stuffs from MAC. That is because i still have so many more products left to be used up. I bought two mineralize products. One is the MSF powder in medium dark which is obviously due to the reason that i am slightly darker now due to the holidays i went last year and also a charged water which i wanted a fix + initially but was recommended this instead. She mentioned some damn goos stuff about it thats really effective and great for humid weathers PLUS making you skin supple. But i could not really remember it. So i got it off from the mac website.
According to Mac website, A fusion of Mineralize Charged Water and pure diamond powder. Instantly enlivens, energizes and revitalizes the skin while adding radiance. Keeps skin soft and supple. Refreshing green tea and citrus fragrance.I sometime skips my moisturiser and spray a good amount of charged water on my face. The scent is great. Hours later, i still feel my skin is moisturised due to it. I shall do a seperate review on it.
Finally, another rave product which i want to share is the L'oreal Double Extension Curl Mascara. I got it at 20% off and i was glad i did. It was a mascara that wasn't too wet and it holds the curl pretty well. Made up of two different formulas. The white base that goes on black on your lashes and the volumizing formula which curls and lengthens your lashes. It has fibres to it so it makes you lashes longer than normal.Look at what it has done to my lashes. PERFECTO!!!I am in love with this mascara. One of my fellow viewer also shared that it is on sale at Mustafa Centre! 02 for $26.90. I am going to get my hands on them! You should too!
Well, if you missed the video i made on the haul, here it is :)
I guess you know by now that i dont apply much make up when i head out. But i always ALWAyS take the opportunity to make extra effort when im invited to a wedding. i would like to straight away go to my face of the day post. BUT i wanted to pause it all for awhile and shared that when i was taking out my eyeshadow, and visit my eyeshadow drawer, i found that my NYDC Urban Decay palette, are full of fungus! Yikes!!! It was horrid. I threw the most "infected" one away and i scraped off the top layer of all the eyeshadows and spray and sanitized it with alcohol. I felt "so sayang" to throw them all away! I agreed there are shelf lives to make up however my room is just too humid to store them! So the place you store them plays a part too. Keep that in mind!
*clap clap- on to the Face Of The Day! I called it, Sunset Beach!

AHHH... every make up junkie loves eyeshadow. We spend so much time practising matching colours to compliment our eyecolour or skintone, blending to accentuate your eyes better and more. Eyeshadows are what i love to wear and i feel way done after applying one however last year, since i am blogging this today (1st post in 2012-yeah!), i did not show much love to any of them. Especially the colour families. I neglecte dthem completely. Its definitely out of my comfort zone to apply colours on my daily make up days. Im more of a mascara, eyeliner and loud lipsticks. So here it is my top eyeshadow picks. These are the colours which i use the most and the ones i reach out for when i am out for occassions!Starting and warming up to my very first palette i have been ADORING. Sleek oh so special palette is a must have for EVERYONE. Its like a cheaper version of NAKED however this is beyond comparable in shade wise, but for the quality, honey, its EQUAL.I am surprise i rarely or even barely touched my MAC eyeshadows which for years i have been investing my money on them. However the two shades which i used the most are of course "barely-there" colours, soft brown and all that glitter. Also, for highlight, BH eyeshadow does the trick.MJ surprises me this year. Not only they surprise me with their amazing mascaras, but this eyeshadow here was shown much loved. Especially the shimmery white shade which i dap on my eyelid and it gave me just the right sparkles needed. Its not messy either. Amazing for everyday look. In fact, im gonna wear this tomorrow. :) WHO COULD FORGET STAGE? Stage closes its final outlet at Bugis mid this year and sold many of their items 80% less. its sad that they are relaly entirely gone in this sunny island because i do love pretty much 60% of their products. Now, we could only buy them in Malaysia, KL. Dont ask me where honey. Cuz i aint got a clue. However i do know they were used to be at KLCC. So if you know, do share it with us ok? I love this shade because its a perfect warm brown for an olive skintone like me.I was also honored and so happy that i get to visit Inglot mid last year at Sunway Pyramid. Such an amazing feeling to head in a boutique full of colours and new products. Inglot has high intensity and pigmented eyeshadow, and i owned 3 of them. They are one of my favs because a little product goes a long way. Blends great too.Next on, I love MAC lovestone eyeshadow. I find that these eyeshadows do not have the best pigmentations but lovestone is a beautiful warm cranberry-purple which matches my skintone so well. I love to do a smokey with this eyeshadow.Finally, i gotta show you at least some colours right. So here are three eyeshadows which i love mainly because of their pigmentation. However i do not like urban decay eyeshadow when it comes with shimmers. Its damn messy and nasty. The glitter will fall off. And i mean it will definitely be on your cheekbones or cheeks or even on your cupids bow at the end of the day! haha! seirously!So here are the swatches! They do look different on white paper but at leats you can see how their consistency is :)
What is your favourite eyeshadow? I have yet to own a NAKED palette btu im excited for NAKED2.
Few days ago I asked my friends on my FB Page how do I name this look. And Nor Safarin, gave me the brillant idea to name it!
Using my Mac Photobooth :)
So here is the look I tried filming it. Hope you like it and like Sarah mentioned, I should really zoom in only to my cheekbones :) So more to come i guess!
