Breaking it down: My Brow tutorial

adorebeauty06 — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:53:31 SGT

Many of you at Twitter, Instagram and Facebook have asked me how I did my brows. I snapped these pictures while I was peepping my face. Dont mind my swollen eyes. It was really early and I was really tired. Besides that, I had fun. I knew there was the apps that could fit in about 9 pictures. So thats what I took! Best part of it is I was not late to work! Haha! Anyway, other than my video tutorial, this is basically a breakdown of how I did my brows.

I used the same products for years now so these products work for me even when the weather was hot and humid or wet. They sticked with me throughout and im glad to be sharing with you this step by step tutorial.
Top row, from left to right:
First pic: I take a spoolie and brush my brows. After bath, my brows are always all over the place. Keep it neat for other applications.
Second pic: i take the Covergirl eye maker pencil in midnight brown and fill in my brows and draw along my natural brows.
Third pic: I will then lengthen my brow and make the end darker to create a gradient effect.

Second row, from left to right:
First pic: That is how i shape my brows. I elongate and gave it a shape. Your brows are not twins, they are sisters.
Second pic: I prefer a.lighter brow. It makes my features softer. Therefore i used the Kpalette brow gel in no.02.
Its a ginger colour which when you apply lightly will lighten your brows by a shade.
Third pic: This is how it looks like after applying. My brows are more tamed and somewhat "dyed". The product not only lighten my brows but it helps my brow to stay put throughout the day. No fading, shifting and its waterproof.

Third row, from left to right:
First pic: Then take a synthetic brush and brush off the inner brows so that i can create a gradient
Second pic: Clean the lines with my concealer. This is the most important part as it shapes your eyebrow to define the lines.
And VOUILA! Simple!

It takes practise to achieve the perfect brows. So start playing with your make up!

I am going to squeeze in a- Face of the day too just because I CAN! haha

Face:
Sephora Mat Powder in No.35
MUFE HD Duo mat Powder in 207
Revlon colorstay concealer in 004

Eyes:
Loreal Double last extension Mascara (purple tube)

Cheeks:
Mac Fleet Fast Blush
Mac whisper of Guilt highlighter

Lips:

Thanks for reading! Till then loves!

Estee lauder Sale 2013

adorebeauty06 — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 10:59:37 SGT

Its been 4 consecutive years that i went to the Estee Lauder sale. And every year all i am finding is previous collection products that i have missed or that have their price slashed more than 50% off! The sale starts at 9am but i was already queing at 7am. When i was there, there were about 18 people infront of me. Everyone was a veteran of sales, prepared with movies uploaded in their ipad, their storybooks and some even sleeping. I can only imagine the queue back then when the Iphone 5 was launched.

It was easy to queue since i just have to sit on the carpeted floor and catch up on my beauty guru's video which i have last seen one like 4 months ago~? Once the door opens, it was a huge space. I saw tall signs labeled Estee lauder, mac, origins and the list goes on.

If i could make a comparison with last year's sale, it would have been the bobbi brown counter. There were more range last year than this year. And i realized, every foundation sold is either too pale or too dark. Nonetheless, i gave them a skip.

My budget every year was $150 and i made it within my budget since I only buy products I will use on myself or my friends and clients. So here it is!
I present you my haul.

The best buys are the brushes. Come on! $10 a pop?! That is insane. There might be defects to it but im not complaining! I really am in love with them. Anyway, here are the items out of their packaging. Great mess huh!

Watch my video for more info. :)And heres the swatches!

Beauty Buffet/ Stores in Bangkok

adorebeauty06 — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 23:55:08 SGT

First off! I remembered Beauty buffet was only found at MBK. I was wrong! You can definitely find the stores at almost all their train stations.

Anyway, to some of you, this store might not be a new intervention or a new find. They remind me a little of The face shop PLUS Etude house. They have skincare products and nail polishes and make up. The prices ranges from $10-$30. Not bad i would say.I love the aura of the place, its really sweet and the lighting made all the products oh sooooo delicious! The blushes were great too! But none of the colors are really worth bringing home. Well at least for me.This is the make up line- Gino McCray.NEXT! I went to the Beauty Plus store. How i wish Singapore have these kind of stores where you can get ALL kinds of beauty supplies!
This is located opposite side oh Platinum Mall. You have to walk and cross over and you will see this striking orange store.
Oh lashes GALORE!!! If you go to stores in Bugis, they will sell them at $12 per box minimum and $25 per box max. But, i bought three of the boxes for a clsoe of SGD$20! Thats a steal right there! I am planning to do make up freelance basically on friends who needs to adorn themselves for an important event. So, i stocked them up and I really felt i was in HEAVEN!
For hairstylist, you will love these! More products are sold there! They are cheap too! Some more pictures.Local make up sold too.I didnt buy or try any of them though. They sold hair stools and aprons and hair masks and shampoos and more! Nail polishes too! A whole lot of beauty store.

Can you imagine (take a moment with me) if we have a beauty supply store, as big as daiso, stocked up with products ranging from varities of nail polishes and nail products, to blushes such as nyx, milani, jordana, drugstore....the BH eyeshadow palettes, face palettes, blush palettes, lip palettes, lipsticks ranging from the brands from the list above as well...to foundations and powders...and hair products..hot tools to skincare such as mask, spa products...brushes, make up bags, traincases to zuccas.. and more...

ahhhh... bliss~... amazing amazing amazing. Lets all manifest and may SOMEONE open a store like that.

Anyway, that is all I wanted to share for all you girls who wants to head to bangkok anytime soon!

xoxo!

Review: My Brown Brows? KPalette Brow Mascara in No.02

adorebeauty06 — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 14:57:34 SGT

I dyed my hair months ago and had a lighter shade. I have been searching high and low for a brow product that would hold my hairs and lighten the shade of it to blend it well with my hair colour.

So what exactly did i used on my brows?I was walking at KLCC last 2 weekends ago and I went to Watson in hope of finding Rimmel Airy Fairy but sadly enough the whole display was not stocked. But then as I was walking, i bumped into a brow product.

Its the Kiss Me KPalette Heavy Rotation Brow Mascara! I bought it for RM35 (SGD$14.30). Affordable much! I went to sasa or watson here in Singapore and I could not find it. However i do find a dupe from Kate and Canmake. So maybe you girls can reach for them as well.

Breaking down, the size of the bristles are really helpful in terms of brushing my thin brow hairs into places. It has a bulky screw top to the mascara that makes the grip of the wand more stable and easily to control every strokes. The colour looks very orange on the wand but fret not, it won't look too orangey when applied to your black brows.
This is the before and after look.
My suggestion is, upon applying the product on your brows, use it very lightly on the brow and do not double coat it because it will clump and look very wet and super UNNATURAL! It is very not flattering. Keep this in mind because its important!

For you girls who have brown hairs, get your brow shade close to it! It will compliment! Trust me!

Thanks for reading!

adorebeauty06 — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 22:26:16 SGT

Not long ago i was at the product launch showcase of Mac Archie over at Orchard Ion. It was suppose to release at 7pm and when i was there at 7pm, half of the display went out of stock! You have got to be kidding me! It has been a year since anyone was so excited about Mac's new collection! What an amazing response huh! This collection was getting all the hyped from Youtube all the way to local magazines. I knew all i wanted was Veronica's blush. That dark pink colour will definitely suit any tan to dark skintone. I could not get my hands on the blush over at Ion but i sure did when i visited Tangs outlet. It was priced at $40! hello overpriced much! Oh! Did you also know that Candy yum yum is a permanent lipsticks sold at all Mac stores? Hell yeah! I had to get one of those too! Im a lover of bring lipstick. it just make me feel done And complete!So here are the swatches on my hand.
And here is a cheek swatch of the blush!

A successful makeover : The Intern

adorebeauty06 — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:35:48 SGT

Meet Joey girls. i have always loved her features on her face. The monolids, the flawless skin, the high cheekbone structure and the full lips. It was perfect. So i went to her and asked her if she wants a makeover. You can see there were sparks in her eyes, full of excitement. So what best ways to make her over on the eve of her birthday.

The sudden change was amazing. See the before and after! Just look at her. To make the look more flirty,I added a purple liner from Urban Decay under her smokey gold eyes to give a pop of colour and applied feathery false lashes. I enhanced her cheekbones with a pink blush and a minor contour since she does not need it at all. She looked stunning.It was a challenge for me because she has monolids. And to be honest it was my first time applying make up on a monolid model. So I used mini blending brushes to produce the look. It was flawless.Heres another before and after look. (above) My mom said, the makeup made her face looked 3-dimensional. So Joey, pick up that blush already!A collage of how her eye make up and overall make up.My kit? I brought only these.

What products did i used on her?

Face:
Revlon Photoready in Nude
Sleek Creme to powder Foundation in Shell as concealer

Cheeks:
Mac Subtle Breeze Mineralized Blush
MAC whisper of Guilt for highlight

Always feeling tired in the morning? Heres some tips!

adorebeauty06 — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:04:36 SGT

I am definitely NOT A MORNING PERSON. And i think I never will be. However, with these tips, they somehow remind me to do the "RIGHT" thing before sleep to make sure i have ample rest. My hectic schedule comprises of work, social, dating plus exercising in the wee morning through the night. So, some days I have to repay my debt of not sleeping a good 7-8 hours.

So here are some tips you can consider doing or following.

Since working in Singapore is UBER SUPER Hectic. I hope this helps putting you back on track to sleeping right and gives you a positive mind and a healthy body.

Its a good read!

Review: YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick

adorebeauty06 — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:58:25 SGT

Thanks to my dearest ex-intern, she bought me this lipstick for my birthday last October. She made me THE happiest person just because i LOVE lipstick and I never would buy this lipstick myself and she gave me the opportunity to try this. I went to Ion Orchard outlet and was overwhelm with the array of lipsticks displayed. This is the Rouge Pur Couture lipstick in shade no. 7, Le Fuschia. The lipstick shouts ME! "DIANA!" Tracy, thank you so much!

Product desciptions and shades:

A new-generation lipstick inspired by Monsieur Saint Laurent’s iconic color palette-red, fuchsia and orange-in a collection of captivating couture shades that offer each complexion a customized look. Enveloped in a luxurious gold case designed by Creative Director Stefano Pilati, Rouge Pur Couture speaks elegance. Lips are saturated with intense, stay-true color, thanks to the Coloreveal Technology while natural extracts provide comforting moisture that lasts all day. Provides medium to full coverage with a radiant, satin finish. SPF 15.

((YSL Product Site))

My experience with this lipstick:

The packaging itself speaks for itself. It is sophisticated, so posh and almost grand. That was what i felt everytime i pull this out and apply on my lips. The scent that it has is nothing overpowering. It has a rose scent to it which is really mild and since scent has never bothered or irritate me before, i enjoyed every application because it somewhat lifts my mood up. Maybe its YSL or maybe its the rose scent, i have yet to figure it out. It is 3.8ml of quantity and it has a deboss of the brand YSL on the stick. Its so divine.

Upon application, the lipstick is pigmented. The lipstick glides smoothly on my lips and the pointed tip of the stick allows me to line my lips without using a lip pencil. The colour is pigmented and the formula is certainly not drying. Firstly it is because, it is not a matte finish. it is a rather shiny finish and i like that i does not smea around the corner of my lips hours after using it. Even when i had slight dry and chapped lips, applying this lipstick over does not show those flaws at all.

It does last a good 5 hours however after consuming coffee and breakfast, the lipstick does tend to fade and due to its slippery finish, it tends to go off too and i had to touch it up.
Heres a lip swatch i did for you to see. The colour compliments just about anyone. One of my favourite lipsticks i have ever owned.

Thanks for watching guys!

Oh btw, if you do know the price, please share it with me. I had it as a gift, so that explains clearly why i do not know the price of the lipstick.

It was haul time. (Watson, MAC & Inglot)

adorebeauty06 — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 17:31:47 SGT

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 :)
