The 15-mins Look

How long do you take to do your makeup? If I've got the time to spare, I'll usually take my own sweet time... say an hour or so? And for simple makeup, I'll need at least 15 mins.

This is my kind of simple LOTD (look of the day) for last thursday, when I attended Lancôme media event (that will be covered at a later date). Presentable enough. Nothing elaborate. I was test driving Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream for the day. And yes, I'm lovin' it! (;

This was how I look after 7 hours (blot once in the late noon).

The close-up.

A wash of matte brown over the lids, using Make Up Store Microshadow [Chocolate]. Dejavu Lash Knockout Mascara, for my lashes. Doesn't help much with maintaining the curls. Commendable volumizing effect though.

I like the liner part. Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in Mat Black 0L, then a thinly applied Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner over it (as close to the lashline as possible). Extend beyond the lashline.

As for the (smudged out) lower lashline - outer part using MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner [Designer Purple], inner corners using Essence Longlasting Eye Pencil 11 GO WILD.

    LOTD: Matte Neutral + Review: Bébé Poshé Dazzling Eye Pencil 01 Black Diamond

    This was my LOTD just 2 days ago. I went for a movie date with... Chantana! She won a pair of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows preview tix, and asked me along (thanks again!).

    We both enjoyed the movie very-very much. Highly recommended to all! I laughed alot (and aloud) throughout the show :x

    I rarely use matte eyeshadows. Well, it's always nice for a change yea.

    Lovin' the blush color on me!

    The products that I used for this look:-

    [88-Color Eyeshadow Palette]

    I used the 1st color on the top left (refer to above image), as the overall base color.

    Here's the swatch. The other swatch is for Make Up Store Microshadow [Chocolate], which I used for my eye contour and facial contouring. Lovely color indeed.

     

    On to the review... Bébé Poshé Dazzling Eye Pencil 01 Black Diamond, which I got as part of the goodie bag during the launch event sometime ago. CLICK HERE if you've missed my review on Bebe Diva Supervolume Waterproof Mascara.

    When I first swatched the liners at the launch event, I totally love how well-pigmented they are (so intense). They glide on very effortlessly. AND, they didn't seem to budge when I rubbed against the swatches. I reckoned I was in love.

    It has a creamy texture in a slightly metallic formulation, with sparkly silver micro-glitter bits.

    As much as I love how it's swatched on my hand, it translates into a different story altogether when drawn on my lashline. Well, it doesn't tug or pull. I do have to layer on to achieve a better pigmentation, but it wasn't the same intensity as the swatch. It was a total mess when drawn on the waterline :/

    The image above was taken just after I finished drawing my lashline. The liner color looked pretty much faded when it was freshly drawn. It flakes, smudges AND migrates. In just 2-3 hours time, it was literally smudged and gone. When I touched up, the flaking problem gets worse.

    I don't know about the other colors that's available. I just know that 01 Black Diamond doesn't work for me. Disappointing much. Perhaps I was unlucky enough to get a faulty one, coz I seemed to read only positive reviews so far. I've no idea, seriously.
