Beauty + Recipes

I got this from a flowerpodder in case you didnt catch the entry i had earlier on, and i got it for only $36. Its a steal! Anyway, you can get this online from beauty.com, sephora.com & nars.com. NARS blushes are highly raved. It is a high-end brand many beauty junkies would love to owned. Well, I am one of them. So, I was recommended by many to pick up NARS Sin blush as it would compliment my skin and it did!

Initially I when i first recieved it, I thought " DANG! It is sooo tiny!" It is smaller than a Credit CARD! And abit bigger than a MAC blush. Comparative diagrams:

So, the swatch looks like this.

And on my cheeks, I am just loving how it matches my skin...

My take:

How can I ever point out any flaw from NARS blush. My first NARS item. The blush is divine. I know i might exaggerate. But i have to say, its true that if you apply something expensive, and high-end, you feel extra special that day. I do feel that too. I am keeping to one nars for the moment because i do not want this feeling to go away and i would grow tired of it. Now, onto the blush. I love how the blush are so pigmented. And how long they last on my cheeks. Even beyond 12 hours, my blush is STILL THERE! Mac can't even beat that. I have to touch up on those. Anyway, the blush blends easily but i wish it wasn't so powdery. When i pick itup lightly with my brush, the glitter went everywhere, the blush was rather powdery. But i still dig it. I am not a fan of plum blush, but this knock my senses off. I love it! If you want to get nars item, start with its blush as it will give you the best impressions ever. The only cons i would say is its expensive. CRAZILY friggin expensive! Thats all loves.

Product Rating: 5/5

Packaging: 4/5- tends to get messy/stained/dirty on the rubbery packaging; but love the NARS font. Very sleek, clean and very professional!

Would I buy again? Every single one of it if im married to a tycoon :)

Yeyy! I am super excited for these haul! First and foremost i get to touch & OWN NARS!Wohoooot! amazing2 haul. I cant wait to use them! :)

I have to say, i hate this setting. Aint doing this kind of setting no more. My face looked super scary. Super washed out. haha! Anyway apart from the "vain" factor, my messages conveyed :)

My palette is already full!!! ARGH man!!! So it shows. No eyeshadow for me at the moment..Gotta use these babies :) Hope you enjoy this haul as much as i do. Thank you for watching and reading loves! :)

I mean we spend tonnes of money for eyeshadows, blushand many more, but we forget about skincare. I mean it is the most important thing right? I am still clueless myself, if you ask me. I am stuck with my body shop tea tree oil set, which i feel i need better formulas for my face. To keep it SQUEAKY clean. Hmm..So apart from skincare, just for a minute, i am looking at foundations. I do not know what happened to me, i am jumping in the bandwagon of finding Mr foundation right~. But i am particularly looking at :

Look-See No.1

Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation SPF42

I was introduced by LisaSz09 on Youtube about how she raved that this product is hands down, her most favourite foundation ever. She even repurchased the product. So, looking from her skin, i really liked how dewy her skin looks. So, i was curious to search for my hands down product. So i am really itching on it. Many reviews i read are giving me the heads up. So..yah..hmmm~I am very very itching to get one of my own. But, i have this phobia on me after i used MAC's foundation, that i felt totally ripped off breaking out from almost $150 worth of products.

Look-See No.2

Make Up Forever Super Loose Powder

Now, who else other than our very own Sophia (makeup blogette) who sold me out on this product. I also have read many reviews having me MORE sold on getting this product ever. I like how it stays matte on the face, plus from my hd primer, i did not break out from it, so i am confident this would not either. I really am finding a setting powder. I realise a setting powder is the most important part of applying liquid foundation. It maintains and locks your foundation on your face. It cost US$24 in Sephora.Once, i read in a magazine that alot of people mistaken translucent for being transparent, but it is actually not. It consist of a pinka nd grey tone on it. So it might make your face looks ashy. So the best is to get a yellowish tone for your loose powder, which will absorb well on your skintone. And Mufe have Apricot Beige in store for me. *as if..ahaha!

Look-See No.3

Nars Blush in Luster

yEAH. Come on. Who doesn't wanna own NARS blush? It is great for woman of colours and it is popular for its blush! So i feel the need or urge to own one..And i do not want to get typical pink with shimmers no a matte orange. I wan something worth those US$25! I think i ask for too much, but many blushes they have, are rather dupable. Only thing that it is more pigmented than any other products. So who got me into the colour Luster? KristaCHERIE! I am hooked watching her. Its all about her clubbing images and party night along attitude just gets me psyched abouit reading her blog. Plus, shes NC42. I will read anybody's blog whose NC42. haha! Look at her cheeks. She is wearing Luster on her cheeks. isnt it just so gorgeous?! But according to Renren, she said that if you are slightly darker than NC42, (which i am much tanned now) the colour might not show up. Can you tell ive done good research? haha!

Look- See No. 4

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Been wanting to jump to UDPP for the longest time but hadn't had the moment yet. Since my TFSI is left in Brisbane and i have been using L'oreal de-crease, i find that it WORKS! As good as TFSI! I definitely underestimate it being a drugstore product. But ladies, it does not crease on me. Anyway, I just hope udpp is not drying on the lids. I might get it but i hate the fact that i need to cut it open. Phhrf!

So, that is what i am looking at these days, tonnes of reviews read plus research done. haha! Fun, i know but what about skincare. Anybody can recommend? What i am looking for is:

- Pore minimizer

- Rich in moisture

- Cleanse for oily/combination skin

- eye cream

- great for diminishing dark spots/ even out skintones

Anybody? I am open to all.

I heard Clinique is good, but why so many people are breaking out from it? Hmm..Back to work for me for now! Talk to you loves lata!

Love
