Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette for Fall 2010

(Images credit to Temptalia)

I NEED TO HAVE THIS PALETTE.

I first saw this palette while checking out reviews on The Musing of A Muse. Now, you may think that it's just a boring neutral palette. But that's just perfect. Definitely safe for work. And if you're going out in the evening, just jazz it up with the darker shades! I love the array of nautral colors, a mix of mattes and shimmers. The sleek packaging is awesome too. But what's the best thing about this palette is that.. you get TWELVE full-sized shadows for less than half the price! How can you resist that?!

Realised how my recent 'wants' are mostly Urban Decays and not MACs or whatnots. I dont know why, but Urban Decay is seriously getting alot of my attention. Not that I am not liking MAC anymore or anything. but i guess it's time for something new.. I wonder how much this palette will be retailing at in Sephora. IF they bring it in..

Anyway, check out Temptalia's swatches & reviews here.

Robinsons Expo Sale

Wasssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuupp!!

I was at the Robinsons Expo Sale earlier today, and spot some ELF products. They had the ELF Studio Line products as well, but as usual, the prices are so marked up! It's wayyy expensive, S$21++ even after discounts if i'm not wrong? That's crazy right! Surprisingly though, many of the products were already OOS. I was swatching the Blush+Bronzer duo and the SA was like "Sorry, that's not available anymore". I turned to her and said, "It's okay. I'm not buying anyway" with my 'like-i-cared' look. They had some EDM too, still marked up even after so many sales. I bet Pixie is trying very very hard to get rid of the stocks.

Anyway, I met Hudy today to pick up my one item, first ever NARS "haul". Great thing she lives in my neighbourhood. Just hours after she mass email. Nothing exciting though. i'm at my uncle's house, blogging using his laptop.. so just wait for updates if you wanna know what i got. :)

A little Rant.

Do you girls have 'bad make-up' days just like 'bad hair' days?
It's like no matter what you do, what products you used (especially the one you trust the most), it just didnt turn out right?

Isnt it frustrating when you know you NEED to look good for an event but something went wrong somewhere and you just cant get it right, but then your make-up somehow looks so awesome when you're just running an errand nearby that you just dont wanna take it off?

Yeah, i'm kinda feeling that right now.

LOTD: Failed Smokey

So last Saturday was my girlfriend's birthday dinner.
And this is my attempt to recreate Sophia's Smokey Eyes. Failed, obviously. I really wanted to do a dark blue smokey so that it could match my crop blazer but i didnt have a blue that is neither dark or matte enough. So i ended using the darkest color in my Pop Beauty Teal Eyes Cake, which turns out greenish. I dont even think it's well blended. I kinda did my make-up in a rush. didnt even had time to put on fake lashes. oh heck, i tried.

and oh, if anybody noticed, i had a haircut! i would have posted more pictures, but i didnt like how the rest turns out. boo!

What I Used
Base: M.A.C Prep + Prime
Face: Milani Smooth Finish Oil Free Cream-to-Powder in Sand 01 + Earthen Glow Mineral Foundation (Cover Me), M.A.C Bronzing Powder in Refined Golden
Cheeks: I forgot what i used, but i think it's EDM All Smiles
Eyes: Maybelline Gel Liner as base, Darkest shade in the Pop Beauty Teal Eyes Cake, YSL Waterproof Everlong Lengthening Mascara
Lips: M.A.C Viva Glam II
