My Make-up Secrets

Hey Guys,

What's up !! Hope you had a great week. My week has been super tiring yet interesting. Maybe I am taking up too much... Full time job, part time studies in fashion designing, part time blogger, full time mummy for Denver and squeezing time to think of new designs... Not forgetting the frequent checking of all available social medias!! OMG, I am exhausted.. Having said that, I am really enjoying my classes. No complaints, no complaints...
With this super tight schedule, I managed to take some time-off during lunch for the most relaxing "retail-therapy". When it comes to make-up and skin-care, you know what is the tip? Buy little but buy often.. Never buy everything at one go, can you imagine when everything finishes at the same time?? You are going to burn a big hole in your pocket. @-@

Here you are, my little purchases..
miniature perfumes are for decorations only.. haha
Introducing my find, Yves Saint Laurent "Top Secret" Lip & Contour shaper.
Selling at 55SGD
No surprise, it comes with the easy applicator
I have really super dry lips. For those who know me you must know that I love peeling my lips, especially when I am nervous. Tried this just once and I can feel instant results!!
Sick of the fine lines you see after applying your matte lipstick, try this! It is supposed to plumps lips and redefines the lip contour, offering comfort, definition and radiance. Sugar extract from beech wood capable of boosting glycosaminoglycan production, to restore balance to lip volume from the inside and produce visible plumping.

Use it as a primer or even on its own. The salesperson told me it's good for cold weather too! Have I mentioned that it smells amazing!! I love it, so try it! ;)

Nextup, my all time favorite under-eye concealer
Selling at 42SGD
I am using the "Ginger" tone
If I can only choose 1 makeup, that will be my concealer. Right, I say that after doing my eyebrow embroidery ;p
My dark circles and puffiness are quite bad, doesn't help with the sinus problem though. Tried many brands like: Mac, Shu Uemura, Anna Sui, Bobbi Brown, etc. I would say Anna Sui is not too bad, but it's not convenient to buy this in Singapore. After trying NARS, am addicted to it. This is my 5th tube! It's creamy, good coverage yet not too thick so it doesn't look cakey. Good texture, not dry and you don't have to worry seeing those fine lines ;)

NARS radiant creamy concealer is a multi-action formula that instantly obscures imperfections, blur lines and wrinkles, hides dark circles and signs of fatigue, hydrating and luxuriously smooth ! x

 Final recommendation, am sure you have heard about it. The famous meteorites balls !!

Love this to the max! Smells good, looks good and it gives you an natural radiant looking skin. I dislike using foundation, powder or liquid. I have been using loose powder or bronzer for my daily makeup, tried many brands and always find myself going back to this. If you have never try this before, make sure you put it in your next month's purchase list !

Hope you like my recommendations. ;) Any good products to share with me? Leave a comment!

Some updates on my school. First 2 modules on textile printing and basic apparel design. Did textile printing during my school days so there is nothing new about this. Basic apparel design class really gets my adrenaline running. From research on any pictures I like, to sketches, to illustrations and the ultimate technical flats drawings, all these sound so cool to me!! Can't wait to share with you my drawings after 9weeks !! woot woot...
Really wanted to blog about my trip to India, hope I have time to do it soon.

Till the next one, keep me in your mind !! xoxo..

Oh, and here's a picture of my beloved Denver and his new toy !!

We name the new toy "Big Eyes" @-@
Have a nice weekend !!
