LOTD: Evil Red (feat. Illamasqua Medium Pencil in Severe)

Red + Black; the power combi that gives off the evil vibe.

I use the shimmery pale peachy beige shade from KATE Deep Eyes GY-1 as the overall base color. Using Illamasqua Medium Pencil in Severe, I line the upper and lower lashline. Then, I apply the shimmery black plus shimmery gray shades from KATE Deep Eyes GY-1 over the lid area (without overlapping the lined area). I apply the same shades onto the outer 1/3 of the lower lashline, blending inwards. For a wide eye look, extend the eye colors beyond both the upper and lower lashlines.

Next, apply the shimmery taupe over the inner lid area (blending lightly over the eye contour). For the lashes, I apply K-Palette Real Lasting Volume Mascara 01 Jet Black for both my upper and lower lashes. Lastly, I use the 100% Handmade Lashes (WC16) from Fleur Blossom. The same ones I used in the LOTD HERE.

*Note: Products highlighted are provided by beauty company for review purpose.

Instead of shading powder, I dust a dark red eyeshadow lightly onto the outer contours of nose.

On my lips, Illamasqua Medium Pencil in Severe again! As for cheeks, I brush on Illamasqua Blush (Kiss) lightly.

Revel in the drama of your individuality. Use the creamy Illamasqua Medium Pencil to create sultry eyes and sensuous lips. Designed to glide over skin and create a long-lasting, colour-true finish. Write a different story with every look.

Here's the swatch of Severe...

A gorgeous deep wine red.

I like the texture; creamy and soft. It doesn't tug the skin. It does take a bit of effort to apply on lips though. It's worth a mention that it isn't drying on my lips. The color payoff is great. Truly a bold color, for both eyes and lips. Well, I can see myself going out wearing this color someday (soon). Just my thoughts, since this is my 1st time using it.

That's all for now. Thanks for looking!

Random: Spotted/Swatched @ Watsons.. Guardian..

It's gonna be a random post about some "new" stuff spotted @ Watsons AND Guardian. No review(s), just swatches.

CandyDoll is now available @ Watsons. Price range is $25.90 - $33.90 (correct me if I'm wrong). The product range is quite.. pathetic though.. Only lipglosses, lipsticks, mineral face powder.. That's about it.. -___-"

No testers available for all, only selected.

CandyDoll Mineral Face Powder in Crystal Pearl. The powder feels soft and finely-milled.

As seen from the pics, the powder has very fine shimmers. Heard alot of raves about this product. So I might get it eventually? FYI, there's a normal version with no shimmers.

I swatched CandyDoll Lipgloss in Macaroon Pink and Peach Orange. The top right corner swatch is CandyDoll Highlight - Cream Beige.

ZA launched a series of mascaras, eyeliners recently.

I only swatched the eyeliners. Seemed pretty normal to me. A rather intense black. Anyway, I think only the ZA liquid eyeliner is new. The others are repackaged? I know not.

Hmm.. I swatched this CandyDoll Lipstick but I'd no idea what shade is this.. Not stated on the tester.. Milky beige-orange kinda shade..

Canmake's new fake eyelashes with transparent band.. Got a few to choose from..

There're bottom lashes too! $9.90 each.

The much talked about product recently. In case you missed my review on Bioré Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash, CLICK HERE :D

Okay, let's move on to Guardian. Spotted KATE limited edition eyeshadow palettes ($27 each). I can't seem to find these @ Watsons though.

Pinkish beige-brown shades.

Golden brown shades.

The usual KATE eyeshadow quality. Sheer but buildable colors.

That's all for now. Thanks for popping by!

Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck + LOTD: Lashes Aplenty

Celebrated ah mei's 22nd birthday @ Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck (Paragon) - 26.06.2011. Our 1st time dining there and it was an awesome "ducky" experience!

Hot chinese tea to wash the oiliness down.

Highlight-of-the-day: none other than.. the Peking Duck!

Relish every bite!

Crispy juicy peking duck skin dipped in sugar.. *drools*

Succulent pieces of nicely cut peking duck meat.. :d~

Traditionally served with mandarin pancakes and green onions, drizzled with tangy hoisin sauce.

Ordered assorted dim sum, the usual ones like custard paus, fried prawn dumplings, har gau, siew mai, char siew baked pastries, etc.

More peking duck meat! Imagine only 3 of us finishing the whole peking duck plus the dim sums! We can really eat uh.. :x

Scallop rice rolls.

The remaining duck meat stir-fried with my all-time-favorite ee fu mian. The total bill was a whopping $130ish!
