EOTD using Maybelline Eyestudio Quad in Taupe Temptress

Shoppers was having a sale on their Maybelline Eye Studio Palettes this weekend and since I've been eyeing this for a while I decided to buy it! 

It turned out to be less purple than I thought it was gonna be but I still like it.  Its a very winter look that matches well with the kind of weather we've been experiencing here in Vancouver.

Seriously,  Vancouver should not have snow because they don't have the right facilities for it.  Nobody can get anywhere because they're too scared to drive! =P

OOTD Classy Night Out =)

I love dressing up and going out, but I don't get many chances to do that because I'm a busy student, and my friends aren't into classy things, so when the opportunity comes for me to dress up I snatch it up!  And also, lately I've started following some awesome fashion blogs and I'm very inspired to put together my own outfits =), so you can expect more OOTDs to come!  I hope you guys like OOTDs. =)

Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara Review + EOTD

On my grocery trip to Super Store yesterday I came across the Maybelline Falsies Mascara on sale for $4.99!  I knew I had to try it since I've heard so many good things about it.  So here is my review of it.

Here are some pics of my lashes curled but without mascara.

And with the Maybelline Falsies Mascara!

Overall I think its a pretty good mascara, it workes just as well as my HG mascara: Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black, and it holds my curls pretty well too.  I got the waterproof one though, since I didn't want to take a chance with the non-waterproof version and have it smudging on me, so I don't know how well the non-waterproof version will hold curls.  But overall I think this is a good substitute to my Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black, but I do think the formula of the Falsies is more rubbery/sticky than the Loreal Voluminous, so if I was going for a more natural look, I would still reach for my Loreal Voluminous.

The eyeshadow palette I used for my EOTD was the Revlon Color Stay in 10 Berry Bloom.  I really love this palette and I've had it for over a year now and theres barely a dent in it.  It's very long lasting.

Also, Super Store was having a sale on the Dr Scholl's Fast Flats and I thought this was such a good invention!  Compact and fold-able flats!  Now I don't have to walk home in pain after a night out of dancing too much! =)

EOTD using Lavshuca Eye Colour Select PU-2

Heres an EOTD using Lavshuca's Eye Colour Select in PU-2.  This palette's sparkly shade in the upper right corner is my favourite part of this palette, because it gives a "bling" effect to the eye. =P  It's really glittery but the shadow isn't chunky at all.

Please excuse the bad liner job, in woke up late that morning and had to apply liner in a hurry =P.

FOTD Oct 2 Saturday Chill look

Hey everyone!  Its been a while since I've posted since school and life has been super busy (the usual, sigh).  Heres a neutral look for grocery shopping or hanging out with friends.

I used the Lavshuca Melting Eyes in RD-1, and a brown liquid liner from Creer Beaute La Rose de Versaille for a more natural look.

On my cheeks I used the Jill Stuart Blush Blossom in 01 romantic sweet pea, and just carmex lip ointment on my lips.

Costco Brush Set 2010!!!!

EDIT!!!
Costco did a recall of these brushes because they weren't made up to standard or something... But I can't return them cuz my mom has the receipt.  Now I don't know what to do =P

When I was moving into my new dorm for this year, my mom and I went grocery shopping for my move in day and guess what I saw!!  The new Costco Holiday Brush Set!!!!!!!!!!!!  Its soo pretty, they're pink with brown handles and the bristles are also brown and super soft!  This year they have few more eye brushes than they had for last year and the styles are pretty interesting!  Here are some pics!

I'll give a more in depth review on it once I've used it, soo thats it for now!  Have a great day! =)

FOTD August 11 using all my new products! =)

I tried out a few of the items I bought in Hong Kong today even though I'm not going out or anything lol.  I just really wanted to test these out!!

Ok, firstly the Jill Stuart blush blossom smells soooo good.  When I went to put it on this morning the first thing I noticed was how good it smelled!!  BUT, I applied too much of the darker shade at first and it took forever for me to tone the colour back down.

So the Pro's about this new blush is that: it smells amazing, it looks really natural( not chalky, even when I over applied), and its really pigmented.

The Con's about this blush is that: its very easy to over apply since its so pigmented.

The next product is the Lavshuca Gradation Colour Eyes in BR-2.  I love this colour because it looks very sophisticated and neutral, so its easy to match with everything.  Its also super pigmented and easy to blend.  Andd, its not expensive at all!!  I checked the prices on Adam's Beauty, and its identical to the prices I saw in Hong Kong, so you're not over paying if you order from overseas!! =)

Lastly is the Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner,  and I really love this liquid eyeliner! The tip is very easy to maneuver  so you won't draw too thick of a line or anything.  I would really recommend this to people who are just starting to learn how to use liquid eye liner.

Well thats it for now!  More reviews to come as soon as I've gotten over this jetlag!! >.<

New Jill Stuart Blush

While I was in Hong Kong, I also got the new Jill Stuart Blush.  I got the colour 01 romantic sweet pea, its a baby pink colour and it goes on really soft and natural.  I love this blush!!!
