Cutlery Tray

This is a new product from my hubby ... handmade, purposely for cutlery for sure.But saddenly for Him coz .. guess what ?  I wanted this to be my MSFs and compact powder organiser !! hehehe :D It seems like my Msfs are getting crowded so I have to find something else to store 'em. I used to organise my MSFs in a box type made of a plain chip board. To see my previous kind of organizer for MSF and Blusher ... click here

Im so in love with Shabby Chic style so I prefer this one to look antique too ! :)


Love the way the MSF are organized in this cutlery tray...




The size is quite large that can fit about 12 MSFs on each side ...

This cutlery set is inspired by the one I saw in Country Home Magazine .. issue Feb 2009... but I know this kind is already common.... but I love it ! Less is more :)

Make Up look Inspired by a Bird

Last night I was so depressed due to work load.. so everytime I feel the tense inside, I like to play around with my make up ! hehe :D

Look, how beautiful the creations of God ! It is a brightly coloured bird , and its called the difficult to pronounce...Yariguies Brush-finch. The bird is named after the Yariguies indigenous tribe who give their name to the mountain range where the bird was found. This bird has striking blue black , yellow and red plumage.

I tried to use the combination colour of that bird for my eye shadows this time :) Love the result ! But Its not wearable. I wont go out of my house with three striking colours on my eyes like this for sure!! LOL.

I dunno what I was doing actually ... but it turned out to be quite artistic for me :p With crappy eyeliners. I only did to 1 eye .. and if I did the same thing to another eye , im sure it wont be symmetrical :p Well, thats the fact .. its so hard to achieve both eye make up very similar to each other  ! I didnt even apply foundation whatsoever .. so here it is .. you can only see one of my eyes .. the one on the right :)

I Love Buttons ! :)


Remember I mentioned about the three different boxes that I made ? Nope, actually my dearest hubby who did the woodworking and I did the decoration part ! hee hee.  This is another one .. huhu. The first was the distressed one, ribbon embroidery and this is with cutey embelishments!  but this one I wanted the box to look cute and girlish so I added a lil bit decorations in front with diff. sorts of cutey buttons and ribbons .. of course ! 
These can be found at craft stores

This is a plain one before decorating it with buttons. I painted the first coat with dark espresso colour so that it will appear after its been distressed.


It seems like I cant neglect the distressing part coz I love anything looks antique!





I organise my perfumes in this box and put it on my dressing table :)

Achieve Different Look With Just One Eye Makeup

  




I have created different look with just 1 eye make up and a simple touch up makes the whole thing different again ... In this case I use brown + black eye shadows where I think these colours suits every colour of lipsticks ! .. and any skin tone can wear browns , of course :)  Are you agree with me ?? This is the reason why I love any shades of brown eye shadows ! :)



Look #1 I match it with very bright orangey red colour lipstick . Its Lady Danger by MAC ! What a beautiful name for this lippie.. and a beautiful colour too ! My sister told me that I look really dangerous in this pic .. hahaha ... its because of the bright lip , and yess it is , the name tells everything ! This look is suitable for night out.

Ok, since both the eye makeup and red lips are strong n heavy .. blushers are banned ! LOL ... unless you want your face to look like a clown hehe. But I countoured my cheeks a bit with darker powder for the thinner slimmer face effect.


If you see my photos properly.. you can see I have a scar on just above my eye scoket :(  ...dont really remember how I got that scar ... I dont really care about it actually but its quite tough to blend the eye shadows in that area.



Look #2 is kinda orangey look ... the same eye make up + Fresh Salmon lipstick (from the spring forecast 2) + Coral shimmer blush by Bobbi Brown and I've used Refined Golden MSF as highlight on the upper cheekbone and on the bridge of nose.

This eye make up techniques, where you put darker colour on the lid and blends UPward with a brown eyeshadows .. suitable for smaller eyes / asian eyes. Your eyes will look bigger .. this eye make up is considered as smokey eyes.




I contoured my "mini" double chin LOL.. Im getting chubbier everyday which makes me worried.. but I Love Food ! :(




Look #3 : I've changed the look by changing the blusher to MAC Azalea Blossom (Blush Ombre) + Perfect Topping MSF as highlight and Show Orchid Lipstick. The lip colour is one of my fav. now .. its bright fuschia pink ... to change the colour of blusher , I just simply neutralize it with MSF natural of my shade first before applying a different colour


Just play around with colours and you will know what's the best colour on you  ! Remember, the best make up artist is YOU .. coz you know your face more than anyone else :)  The key is, practice coz practice makes perfect and by using the right tools especially the eye make up brushes :)


Look #4: The next one .. I toned down the look with a lighter shades of pink and this is Saint Germaint ( from the Sugat Sweet Collections released last year).
I really think that the make up ... compliment the inner scarf that Im wearing .. :)


I know that I look stupid here .. oh gosh .. my fake smile is horror ! but I think the eye make up is pretty clear here  .. and I still want to show that ! Just ignore my stupid smile okeh :p



Look #5:  And last but not least , the final look !!I toned down the lip colour a lil bit more by applying just a natural colour lip glass. With the same eye make up ... but this time,I added a lil bit of bright pink colour on the lid .. on top of black. This time I used the pigments from stack #1 ( spring colour forecast 1) ... pink + black .. it turned out to be Purple ! Isn't that amazing ? We can get a different colour after mixing ... so if you dont know the mixing formula .. the colour chart wheel can help ! It can be purchased at any crafts stores.


Taraaa ...


My eye make up looks different right ? Its purple + brown colour. I also added a lil bit of purple eye shadows on the lower eyes just on top of black and blend.



This is a close up photo where you can see the false lashes are attached to the closest as possible to the original lashes ... so that It looks like its your original lashes ... I dont like to see.. or I can say I hate it when it has a gap .. between the fake one and your own lashes . It looks pretty terrible ! So, avoid that ok :)


This final look is my fav. one . I like the look of heavy eye make up with natural lip colour ... For this look .. I erase the previous lip colour with lip erase and applied Lavender Wind lip glass ( Spring forecast colour 3)


Ok, till then ! My long post with lots of pics .. hopefully wont make you feel bored ! Tell me what you think ... Thank You and have a nice day :)

Pink + Green Look



I like to experiment with colours. So, this time.. I tried out the combination of green and pink eye shadows to see what would it look like, if I mixed the colours together. I just love the combination of green + pink whether it be with flowers .. wall paintings .. etc.



I just knew that .. pink and green aren't suitable to be combined together in case of eye shadows  ? coz green falls in a warm colour and pink is under cool colour category. Hmm ... is that so ?? 

"You may combine eyeshadows yourself; just ensure you choose both colours from the same (warm or cool) palette." 

So I quoted a note on combination colour tips of eye shadows. But what if we break the rules? coz make up is art  right ... hehehe. As long as it still looks beautiful on you ... I think it wouldnt be a problem...at all !

But then again .. the author shared her/his tips .. "For exquisite summer party makeup, mix bright or pastel colours from different palettes to create a special effect, but don’t overdo the blending."

ermm.. that confused me ! well .. no matter what .. I've tried to mix very light pink and green and a lil bit of purple colour .. and I think its a great combination ! Tell me what do you think ok :)
