Smokey Eyes, With Nude Lips Look

This make up look is actually inspired by the front cover model of Marie Claire , issue February 2010. If you wanna know ... this is the only reason why I bought the magazine !! :p I tried to imitate the same colour and the same techniques of the make up, as best I can and I think the result is almost close to the actual one ! What do you think ? Enjoy viewing some of the photos ya ... :)




She's so gorgeous  !! Luv luv luv .. the eye make up !

The eye shadows blended a bit round at the corner of the eyes .. so that was what I did with my blending...


How did I achieve the nude lips like the model ? I used the Lip Erase by Mac and just top it with a lip glass

I didnt apply any blushers ... just contour the face with bronzer

Brush Holders; How I Organize My Make Up Brushes ?

Hi my dear readers :) Today, I would like to share with you guys on how I organize my make up brushes.  Its the easiest way and most implemented by many make up mavens out there. I do the same thing with my brushes , coz I love to see them well organized on the dressing table ! I bought 2 glass jars and filled up with sand and small coloured stones. You can find these things at any department stores but I purchased the glass jars and the coloured sand at SSF~ Home Deco Mart. I uploaded a few pictures of some of my make up brushes, organized in a separate jars according to types for face, eyes and some random brushes.






I dont like to make my life complicated !! So its another reason, why I organize my makeup brushes this way instead of putting them in the drawer because ... it is definitely super reachable and it can get organized back in no time ! :)


I also had decoupage a plain ceramic pot which I bought at the IKEA , with a tissue paper and filled it up with coloured stones to keep the brushes in place ! Isnt this a cool idea for a brush holder ?? Get creative and colour your world girlss! :) You also can use any kinds of jars, plastic containers ? and fill it with cheaper stuffs like rice, pebbles or even coins ! Create a brush holders that strikes your fancy or match your deco. Its fun ! :)

MAC All Ages, All Sexes, All Races mini Haul

Hope its not too late to post about what I got from this collection, which was released  last month ! I've been busy with work loadss.. but since the Spring Forecast collections will come out very2 soon here... I think its better for me to share this a.s.a.p . It was just a mini haul though where I only bought 3 out of 4 of the eye brow pencils, a lipglass, a brow set and a pigment ! I didnt get any of the eye shadows from this collection since I already have lots of neutrals though I admit that the eye shadows are all great for those whose into natural shades ! The impeccable brow pencils are a must have this time since they arent a regular MAC product. What I love most out of 4 is Taupe.. suitable for the very dark eyebrows like mine ! :)
