AND Beauty Product UpdatesSo yes, just a quick note to let everyone know I'm not dead. (Wouldn't it be extremely coincidental if I drop dead right now? Yes, COINCIDENTAL, not ironic. Rick Castle taught me well.)
I know you're all like, "What but it's been 6 months you could totally be dead where in the world did you go?" Not like anyone would say that really, since no one really reads this blog but hey.

Everytime I look at all my messy photos and think of all the cataloging, I cry a little inside.

That's what Kate Eyebrow Colour N is - it's essentially an eyebrow mascara, which, according to the Kate website, helps 'change your eyebrow colour to your hair colour'.
My hair colour is black so well...that's not going to help. The mascara comes in varying shades of brown so I went with a darker brown to s.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07779339859188808169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712605.post-89030169636035905642013-10-02T22:55:00.002+08:002013-10-03T15:26:35.003+08:00Review: Zoeva Graphic Eyes+ in Close to Heaven, Nude Reflection and Mr. MarvelousA continuation of the Zoeva review from the last post...
Zoeva Graphic Eyes+ are said to be:
The Graphic Eyes+ Collection combines the smoothness of a liquid liner with the ease of application of a traditional pen without compromising in quality or makeup result.
One thing's for sure - the texture of the pencils is amazingly smooth and pigmented.
Let's start with Nude Reflection:

It probably cost me about $13 or so, and it came in a tacky cardboard packaging. Otherwise, the eyeliner itself is pretty nondescript.

The reason I'm selling most of these clothes is because I'm simply too fat for them. My waist is so thick, bodycon dresses make me look like a fat pupa waiting to burst out as a butterfly. But the latter isn't going to happen so I'm just a fat pupa. :(

They almost always have Navy Blue or Olive or Brown but Black is a colour that's hard to come by.
Eventually, the day came and I got my hands on it.
Look, it comes in a pretty blue box!

I've gone through 2 more hairstyles since then so believe me when I say this is from really long back!
I know right? Those bangs needed to go.
A very bad job of putting on falsies since I have hooded lids which fold over the band of the falsies.

Also, have got tons of photos in my camera which I haven't had time to transfer and catalogue. Really dreading the tedious cataloging, because I always end up forgetting to note down what makeup was worn on certain days. How do the beauty bloggers do it?!

Will we eventually run out of alphabets?
CC Cream, according to the ever reliable Wikipedia, means Colour Control Cream, and is supposedly a refined version of the Blemish Balm Cream.
And according to the entry on Wikipedia, Rachel K, our very own local beauty queen, is the first brand to pioneer CC Cream, even before the giants s.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07779339859188808169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712605.post-34131857984604334312013-07-10T20:01:00.001+08:002013-09-10T11:25:54.590+08:00Review: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Honey Douce, Rendezvous and Sweetheart ValentineI have flash obsessions. After my flash obsession with eyeliners and mascara, my current flash obsession is with lip products. And in the past 2 weeks, I've acquired 5 lip products, 3 of which came from the new Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain range.
This has been compared to the famous Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Balm.

Within a short period of time, I have accumulated two eyeshadow palettes, one contouring set, one blush set and an eyeliner from Sleek MakeUP.
This post will begin with the very first Sleek MakeUP item I bought - the i-Divine Ultra Matte V1.

The Etude House Proof 10 Eyelid Primer comes in a cute little bottle (the bottle is really pretty small) - it's like the shape of a really chesty but slim-waisted lady hehe.

Rimmel is generally a pretty reliable drugstore brand, so I got this together with the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer.
It comes in a typical plastic tube, with the doe-foot applicator attached to the screwcap.

Mineral Eyeshadow PrimerIf you were to ask me to name a cheap and reliable makeup brand, e.l.f. would definitely be mentioned (along with NYX and Sleek MakeUP). Because e.l.f. is so ridiculously cheap, I don't understand how they make any money off it.
I picked up the e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow Primer when Smoochiezz was running a roadshow, which they usually do - I've even seen Smoochiezz at Watsons and Robinsons fairs.s.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07779339859188808169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712605.post-19889686629315003262013-05-28T20:57:00.000+08:002013-09-10T10:00:03.254+08:00BATTLE: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original VS Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow PrimerI know, it's been exactly two weeks but I didn't know that beauty blogging can be so tiring!
