Here is the revised version of my original EOTD here, and I wanted to play around with more oranges, yellows and reds, so I came up with another cut crease look. Do let me know what you think. Enjoy, everyone! ♥

Lash Expander annoys me at times. The fibers sometimes get on my lid because the formula is wet. Products used under the cut!
I went to San Francisco last weekend, and although I wasn't able to take many pictures, here are some to sum up what I did there. The boys were shopping and I was just there to be there, lol. I really liked this tutu (Donna Karan, I believe) and it looked really nice so I had to take a quick picture.


This palette came out during the holidays and even though I probably have enough neutral palettes already, one more won't hurt. These palettes aren't available anymore but every winter, new palettes come out.

BRAND: NP Set
PRODUCT: New Neutrals Palette
PRICE: 10USD
PROS: Soft Texture, Applies Smooth, Blends Easily, Price, Packaging
CONS: All Shimmer, Highlight Colors Are Crumbly/Chalky

I have been searching for the new Wet N Wild trios and 8-pan palettes,but no luck. I'm telling you, these people are fast! Especially with G (of Nouveau Cheap) giving out Wet N Wild info on the clock! If you're a Wet N Wild fan and you haven't heard of G, something is totally wrong with you, lol. She's Wet N Wild's first beauty ambassador and she gets to test out and review their latest products before it hits stores. Check her out! ♥

These palettes aren't new, but I figured reviewing them might help to ease my frustration a bit, haha. Today, I'm reviewing the Lust and Greed palettes.


Sorry for the flash, better pics below the cut!
BRAND: Wet N Wild
RANGE/COLOR: Color Icon / Lust & Greed
PRICE: 4.99USD
PROS: Smooth & Creamy texture, Pigmented, Contains Both Matte & Shimmer, Price
CONS: Some Have Low Pigmentation, Fall Out, Can Be Crumbly
I did this look last year and was supposed to re-record a live demo, but I felt like I could do a better version of this look so I held off. This revised version is more blue than the other (other is more of a purple), so let me know what you think? I quite like this look a little more because I love how the blue looks in natural lighting.


PRODUCTS USED:
Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer
Wet N Wild Greed Palette (Salmon/Peach, Vanilla & Charcoal )
Sleek Safari Palette (Orange Gold)
88 Matte/Satin Palette (Orange)
MAC Melon Pigment (Lightly in middle lid & slightly around tear duct)
Kat Von D Beethoven Palette (Speed Blue over black liner, lower lash line & waterline)
Wet N Wild Creme Liner in Black
Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus
Sonia Kashuk Eye Brow Pencil in Taupe
I'm starting to like taking pictures in natural lighting - when the sun's out that is, haha. I haven't done any type of EOTD in a while, so I've been doing some looks on my free time so I can do some make-up posts for you all. I have a demo/tutorial coming up, so keep a look out for that!

I don't usually work with greens, so I was happy that this cut crease came out decent, lol. I don't think I've done a cut crease demo, so I'll probably do one when I find the time!

Green & Brown Soft Cut Crease Look

PRODUCTS USED:
I did a quick makeover for one of my aunts (I did make-up for 3 people that day o_o) who was getting ready for a wedding reception last July, She's not one to wear any eye make-up besides liner and mascara, so when she asked for a smokey eye, I decided to keep it subtle. I was able to use Urban Decay's Naked Palette on her and half baked looked lovely on her. She asked to use her own foundation. I left her skin satin-y, but I guess she wasn't used to it and she powdered her skin when I left the room looking for something. Sneaky, sneaky, lol.

Before

Such a super late post! I wanted to get some older posts out of the way so I won't feel guilty for never posting them and finally deleting the pictures/swatches from my drive, lol. I think MAC VV came out during October/November, there were some unique products, but it didn't scream out "must have" so I was able to control the urge to splurge.


I rarely do blog posts on food so here's one dedicated to some of my favorite Japanese snacks & drinks! Its really hard to get them where I live and it can be such a bother to order online, so I was excited to spot a small Japanese mini shop in my town!


Brand: Calbee Chips
Flavor: Hot & Spicy
Price: $1.59USD
I was going to post how the chips look like, but these chips were gone so fast! They're not exactly hot or spicy, its almost like tasting kimchi flavored noodles packed into these chips. Does that sound a little weird? Nonetheless these taste pretty good!


Hope everyone had a good NYE! Hope you all had fun with your friends & loved ones. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time to change things or have done some things differently. Though, what's done is done and all we can do is learn from it and grow, right? Here are some items I've been loving for the past two months, not all of them have been fully reviewed yet, but I will be posting them up real soon. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask.
