MAC Paintpot Rubenesque - Great for on the go when I'm too lazy for eyeshadows, gorgeous color

Oh dear, I need to find a motivator/passion/enthusiasm/drive to actually update my blog. It has become stagnant water and I can't seem to be bothered to actually write anything in it.

Is that due to laziness??

I don't think so. I think its like the urge to write is fading ever so slowly. And I know that all my readers are going to kill me!!!

Sorry People >.<

February Favourites

Oh wow... Its been like 2 weeks since I'd last updated. The reason..? Umm... Korean dramas!?

Alright, I love procrastinating and sitting down doing nothing. So much for a healthy lifestyle.

Anyway, so here are some of what I have been loving this month.

Mac Fresco Rose Paint Pot

Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer 119 Lipgloss

YSL Collector Powder for Eyes and Complexion Palette

The Body Shop Promegranate & Raspberry Body, Room & Linen Spritz

The Body Shop Moroccan Rose Body Milk

The Face Shop Su Hyang Snow Boosting Toner

There isn't much make up this month. Mostly is due to the fact that I've been rotating my daily makeup between a few items and haven't been really feeling adventurous with bright bold colors or other brands.

So how's your life? I think mine's quite alright. I mean, doing the mundane routine thing everyday, you can't get excited or enthusiastic with that.

So, tata.. ^_^

Best Beauty Products 2010

This is sort of late as its already mid Jan 2011 and I'm still living in the world of 2010. And OMG, I can't seem to keep up with my new year's resolution = Blog as frequently as I can.

I have to stay motivated in any sort of way **acting tough**

So here are the things that I used so often in 2010 that I can't really live without them. The reason that they are a keeper is due to either that they give tip top quality/consistency/texture, or they are heavenly scented, they don't break me out, or they perform excellently in their relevant fields, or just simply the brand that comes together are just too hard to resist.

 Hopefully, I'll get to discover greater new stuff this year (of course, by splurging more moolah and experiment on the vast amount of products out there)

Perfume = Flora by Gucci

Face products:

Foundation = NARS Sheer Glow in Fiji

Primer = MAC Prep and Prime

Blush = MAC Blush Azalea Blossom

Powder = Skin Food White Grape Fresh Compact Powder

Eyes Products:

Eyeshadow primer = NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base

Mascara = YSL Faux Clis Mascara

Concealer = Clinique Airbrush Concealer Light 03

Brow pencil = Benefit Instant Brow

Eyelash curler = Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

Eyeliner = Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner Chocolate Shimmer Ink

Lips Products:

Lipstick = Givenchy Rouge Interdit 06 Precious Rose

Lip Gloss = MAC Plushglass Big Baby

I do find it quite peculiar that none of my Chanel makeup made it through this round. It ain't because I'm not crazy over Chanel's cosmetics (in fact, I just can't go a week without them), maybe its just that other products outshine Chanel's and I seem to grab other products more frequently than the big C.

And I'm sorry to say that I have a tendency to choose high ended products over drugstore/pharmacies ones. Maybe its the materialistic demon in me stirring ever so often that I tend to lose sight of how great sometimes low end cosmetics could be.

But fear not. Its 2011. I'm going to venture more into other brands and will try to stick to my meagre budget this year so that I don't hoard those expensive thingys in my drawer and forget about them (seriously, I think these branded ones are just for display and nothing else).

**Phew**

That's a lot of words....

So, enjoy your day everyone, have a great starting to 2011, and remember to stick to your New Year's Resolution. I'm sure you'll do better than me ^_^ Love you guys so much!!

I am so running out of topics to talk on my blog. Blame it on my lacking of inspiration and slacking in the blogging world. Maybe what I need... is to GET A LIFE!!!

Could you suggest some topics for me to write?? ^_^

My Makeup Collection: Blush

Well, my blush collection has definitely grow since half a year ago where I only own 6 blushes. I think the most fanatic period of buying blushes is when I'm in Japan. I seem to grow very fond of this makeup category as I enjoy the morning routine of choosing which colors should be going on my cheek. And of course, this doesn't stop me at all from splurging further by having the urge to experiment with other brands and colors.

Enough said, here is the collection. I hope that my collection won't scare you ^__^

This is my favourite look at the moment. And I absolutely adore how easy it is to get this look. Took my about 45 minutes (plus the time of watching animes while doing my makeup). I just love Satin Taupe. I think I'm going to invest more on taupe and earthy color. I used to despise brown on my eyes as I thought they made me look muddy and dirty. Maybe my perceptions are wrong all these while.

Enough said... Chanel Taupe Gris and Vert Khaki, here I come!!!

MAC In The Groove

Finally, I'd got my hands on these 2 urban legend of all blushes... MAC Stereo Rose (SR) and Petticoat (PC) Mineralize Skinfinishes. They are totally sold out world wide, but a queer thing is that nobody in Japan gave a shit as the counter was kinda empty -__-'''

So here they are...

Left: PC and Right: SR. Aren't they pretty?? Alright, I admit. I say that they are pretty because they are limited edition and that they are sold out world wide. Honestly, they look pretty much normal except for the occasional sparkle from the gold veins running them.

SR (top one) seems to be a bit more reddish and orangey while PC (bottom one) seems a bit more brownish earthy tone . But still, the more I look at them, the prettier they become.. -__-'''

Nah..the final picture. I am just so happy to be the proud owner of them both. Now, I don't even wanna count the number of blush I have in my stash.

Anniversary Haul

So, as you guys had already know, I'm a shopping freak who loves buying makeup with money isn't a problem. So this post is a haul video which features the things that were for me, by my boyfriend, well, not exactly like he bought it for me (cuz I'm doing all the shopping alone), but more yeah, these babies are from him.

Introducing you to the loot!!! I just love these shopping bags/shopper bag/whatever bag. Am collecting them. They are great for putting in stuff and turn to a gift bag for people's presents.

So, I've got a Kiss Kiss Lipstick from Guerlain and a free sample lotion. I love this lipstick a lot ^__^

Lipgloss from Chanel. Don't really know the exact true name cuz its in Japanese I'm lazy to check them up. So google them please if you are interested!!

Lipstick from Anna Sui. I like the packaging. Not so much on the product though. I wanna buy more of their products cuz they are just too cute to resist.

I don't think I need to introduce each and everyone of them, right?? Their names are clearly in the picture. Sigh, I'm getting so lazy to check their names and type each one of them. Typical me!!

My favourite part of the shopping trip is these 2 products because I was looking forward to buy them. And boy was I totally enchanted by them, love their smell, their colour, their application, their packaging, just practically every bits.

So yeah, this is just a tip of an iceberg cuz more hauls/purchases will be coming my way. Sigh.. That's why I say, I can't commit to a buying ban. So I'll just stick to a low buy (well, these were bought before I swear to my low buy).

What I'd Got From the UK

Situated in the outskirt of Belfast, there's a cosmetic company outlet which sells MAC with dirt cheap prices. Of course, I've gotta take the opportunity and ask Yoong to grab some things for me. So these are what I'd got. (well, not all of them in the picture that is from MAC)

A pan, some paint pots, some eyeshadows, a lipgloss and a nail lacquer.

Other's are from random places.

So far, am enjoying everyone of them except for the nail lacquer which pisses me off everytime I apply it due to its stupid watery consistency and streaky application.
