Tutorial #21 : Blue, Just Blue Makeup Look

Sooooo..the holiday is almost over and you betcha Imma having the deepest bluessss right now. I can foresee myself desperately hugging my mom's leg begging not to kick me back to KL tonight. Rasa macam kena balik asrama. Elehhhh pernah duduk asrama ke kau Semah oi yang feeling2 perasaan bersemarak macam kena balik asrama. How can long holiday be so exciting yet annoying at the same time. Well that is when it almost over la.

To commemorate this reluctant-to-start-working-tomorrow feeling that I have, let's just indulge & express ourselves in some blue colors, shall we?

The ingredients:

Step #1:

After priming my precious eyelids, I take my brush, roll it in the Cinnamon e/s pan from Sigma Warm Neutrals and swipe it on my crease, blending it upwards.

Excuse the gwiyomi zits that I have there. They are having beach holidays on my skin.

Step #2:

Next, I used Warm Stone e/s from the same palette and place it on the outer V of the lid and blending it in the crease. Then I used Sugar Milk e/s and pat it on the eyelid.

Step #3:

Using dark blue gel liner, wing out them liner macam kepak ayam terbang bebas. I used Matte AMC Eyeliner Gel in #83.

Step #4:

After applying my falsies, I took NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk and loaded it on the lower lash line.

Step #5:

From Marc Jacob's The Siren palette, I used the white e/s to set the 1/4 of the lower lash line. Then, using the same palette, I took the green seafoam color (third last e/s) and pat it on the 2/4 part of the lower lash line. 

Step #6:

Lepaih tuh, I used the next e/s from the previous one, the royal blue one and place it on the 3/4 of the same lower lash line. Yelah same la. Takkan nak letak dekat lower lash line jiran sebelah menyebelah pulak. Tetiba "tok tok tok semekommm ada orang kat rumah takkkk saya datang nak smoke out lower lash line ni haaa".

Eh, tapi jiran aku suma Cina. Kau bagi salam buat apa?

Step #7:

Lepaih balik dari rumah jiran tadi, continue the final step which is to use the last deep green e/s from the same Marc Jacobs palette and pat it on the last part of the lower lash line.

Finally, mascara thelower lashes and wallaaaa walaweeeee, siap weyyy.

Yeay, panda! Frying pan-da, Japan-da! 

Geddit? Geddit?

Love Shuffle, anyone? No? Kbai.

Collective Luxola Haul : Sigma, Zoeva, Lavie Lash

I am truly and genuinely an honest person, in general. But if there is time when you shouldn't trust me, it's when I say "This is the last time I'm buying makeup."

Big fat white lie.

But you makeup junkies out there, y'all fell me right? Y'all can back me up on this right?

My favorite cosmetics online shopping website has to be Luxola. Not only that they offer an array of beauty products, but they also love to spoil us with great deals and discount codes. Like seriously, if you go to Luxola website right now, there will be a discount code on the main page. See what I bought? That was all a collective orders, place with 3 different discount codes within a single week. Yeah baby, I got 3 delicious discount codes and I use them all. I had my reasons, like always. But who gives a damn on why I bought them. Bottom line is, I did and Luxola & I are the perfect epitome of a love-hate relationship. I love them for spoiling their customers with discounts and at the same time I hate that because it will trigger my impulse buying. But once I received the items, I'm like pffffftttt hate them? I wanna marry Luxola! Haha.

So here is what I bought with 35% off (applicable for all products except for Sigma where I bought with 25% off coupon codes):

Lavie Lash (Amaryllis, Tink & Bluebell) - RM14.50

I've never heard of Lavie lashes before but the shape of the falsies intrigued me. They look so beautiful on the website and they didn't disappoint me either when I received it. They have few collections and I think I picked up one from each collection. And it's true what they say. Once you've tried wearing fake lashes, you are hooked and there's not turning back.

ZOEVA Rodeo Belle Palette - RM79

Whenever I have discount codes from Luxola, the first makeup brand that I'm 200% sure I'm gonna get is from Zoeva. I didn't know what yet, but I always wanted everything something from Zoeva to add to my collection. They are so high quality but with reasonable price. So when I saw this palette, I know I had to get it. Enough said.

Zoeva Love is a Story Palette - RM79

Truthfully, the things that draw me to this palette are the purple packaging, and the name of it. Love is a story. Huwarghhhhhh~!

ZOEVA Graphic Eyes (Nude Reflection, Black to Earth, Dessert Traveller, Blue Lotus & Female Attraction) - RM24

I don't really have a lot of colorful eyeliners so I figured now is the time to have some. Read some reviews on how creamy Zoeva eyeliners are and they kid you not! It is pigmented, creamy and intense. Will do depth review and swatches on these eyeliners in separate post.

ZOEVA Brushes :

224 Luxe Defined Crease (RM28.50)

103 Defined Buffer (RM49)

221 Luxe Soft Crease (RM28.50)

322 Brow Line (RM26.50)

233 Cream Shader (RM29)

237 Detail Shader (RM29)

229 Eye Finish (RM29)

222 All Over Shader (RM45.40)

I have a lot of brushes, more than a normal person needs. But mostly that I own are face brushes. I don't really have much eye brushes. And usually when there are deals or discount codes on Luxola, Zoeva brushes are the most fast selling items. I'm glad that I still manage to grab a bunch of them. 

Sigma Eye Shadow Palette - Warm Neutrals - RM125

I was pretty surprised to see this palette is back in stock cause it was sold out for quite some time. Chap chup cassss ku lontarkan ke dalam cart.

Sigma Brushes:

E25 Blending (RM45)

E55 Eye Shading Brush (RM45)

E15 Flat Definer (RM45)

Just because you can never have too many of eye brushes, especially blending brushes.

So that is all. Mana ada banyak sangat kan. I'm so psyched to test out all the palettes. Hopefully I can post the reviews soon.

Stay tuned!

Till my next damaging haul,

Tutorial #6 : My Eyebrow Routine (without trimming)

Olaaaaa~

Today I'm gonna show you how to shape your eyebrows without trimming it. My friend, Gem (bukan nama sebenar) has been asking me on how to do long arched eyebrows. I don't know why she has to ask since she has annoyingly beautiful natural eyebrows. Haha. Well if someone asked me something for the third times, I ought to do it man. A tutorial I mean. Not applicable to harta benda sepencarian.

To begin with, meet my naturally sparse eyebrows of mine. Bersepah. Tebal tetapi jarang jarang. Macam eyebrows jantan dah rupa. I personally don't trim my brows but I do cover up the short untrimmed hairs with concealer to make it looks neat.

Here are the tools that I use to do my brows:

#1 : An eyebrow brush or a spoolie 

#2 : An eyebrow pencil - Elianto Eyebrow pencil in Brown

#3 : Eyebrow powder - NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder in Dark Brown

#4 : An angled brush : Sigma E65 (you can use the brush and spoolie that come with the NYX Eyebrow kit)

#5 : A concealer - Maybelline Mineral concealer in Light

First things first, give your brows a nice brush using eyebrow brush or a spoolie so that the hair is not looking crazy and unruly and bertebaran like this pakcik.

Even a surgeon can't save his brows. Teehee!

Then comes the fun part where you need to draw kind of a frame to your brows using eyebrow pencil. I start by lining the lower line of the brows, starting from the very front of the brows going upward to the natural arch of my brows.

After that, start lining it down by making sort of a turn downwards. Oh my god I'm suck at explaining  

*banging my head to the wall*

You know what I mean right?

You can stop the line a little past your eyes. Don't get excited and draw the line til you ears pulak. But I guess you can if you are wearing hijab. Lukis line sampai belakang telinga pun xpe.

Next, do the same on your upper eyebrows. I usually follow my natural eyebrows since mine are rather wide. If you have thin eyebrows and want to make it looks fuller, by all means you may draw it higher than you natural brows.

Stop at the highest point of the brows and start connecting it to the lower brow tails.

Like so. After that, you can start filling in your brows using the eyebrow pencil by making small strokes. Like you are coloring picture in color book. I prefer filling in the brows using eyebrow powder to get a natural finish. Take the powder using a small brush and heavily fill in the outer part of the brows.

Then to create a natural looking brow, use a light hand to fill in the inner part of the brow.

The reason why you need to light handed-ly fill in the inner brows is because you wouldn't want your brows to look too intense and fierce. 

Would you?

Lastly, apply some concealer under the brows to sculpt your eyebrows, making it more arched and defined. Also to hide the short untrimmed brow hairs.

See the massive difference?

Now you may head outside with only one eyebrow done and be a new trendsetter. Be a new Lady Gaga. 

Lady Gigi?

Just kidding. Please don't do that. Don't forget to do your other eyebrow.

 That's better. Oh, and don't be alarmed if your eyebrows are not looking the same. Happens to me all the time. After all, eyebrows are sisters, not twins. It's okay if they look a tiny bit asymmetrical. The ladies understand and the guys won't have too much time to notice.

Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

Till my next tutorial, 

Toodaloo~
