REVIEW | Mary & May Vegan Blackberry Complex Cream Essence

Hi there!

Mary & May is a Korean brand I had not heard much about until I was given this product as a gift. I was intrigued when I saw that this product was called a "cream essence". Want to know more about this? Read on below!

BEAUTY SWAP WITH CHERRIESSBALLET | REVIEW

Hi loves,

Trying out different beauty and skincare products is something which I absolutely love to do (one of my weaknesses as a beauty and skincare addict!). I don't know about you, but testing out whether different goodies and potions work for me is just oh-so-satisfying. So when I had a chance to do a beauty swap with a friend of mine and fellow beauty lover, Christabel from CherriesSballet, I definitely said yes!

What's in my Makeup Bag - Weekend Edition

Hey dearies!

 

Final exams are finally over, which means that I can breathe a huge sigh of relief and enjoy the summer holiday! It also means that I have completed my degree and am no longer an undergrad student- time sure passes quick! To celebrate, I popped down to Cardiff for the weekend to chill out and spend some time with the boyfriend. Am actually writing this in Cardiff- hee!

 

I always like looking at 'What's in my Makeup Bag' posts on blogs and have been wanting to write one of my own as well but was waiting to be done with my exams before doing so. Now that that's done, I thought I'd show what I usually tend to bring in my makeup bag for weekend getaways. When I travel, I try to bring as little makeup as possible and ones that are versatile so that I don't have to lug too much around. For your convenience, I also thought I'd include links on where you can purchase them (if available online) and my reviews on them if I reviewed a specific product. =)

 

P.S This is going to be a long post- I'm in the mood to type! =D

 

 

May 2012 Favourites

Hi dearies!

So I've never done a post on my monthly favourites before, and decided that I wanted to start doing so. At first I was hesitant to do so, because I tend to find products I like and stick to them like glue, but recently I've been trying out many new products, and I also really like reading blogs and watching Youtube videos of people's monthly favourites  so I guess I can finally start doing a monthly post on different products I'm loving at that point of time!

May was the month of exams for me, so I guess my favourites for May are kinda basic, because I did not really have much time to go out, and when I did, I'd quickly just put something on that's easy and no-fuss. =D

EOTD: Brunch With The Girls

Hey there! Just thought I'd post up a little Eye Of The Day (EOTD) that I did a while back.

This is a very simple look which I wore to go out for brunch with the girl friends. It is a very light look; sweet and not too over-powering that it can be worn to work, school or even a date! =D

This look has hints of pink,peach and sand. Wanted it to look natural so that I could wear it to many occasions - versatile! =D I winged my eye liner out very thinly to create a more cat-like look.

So here's a quick breakdown on how I created this look:-

- Green circle: I used this colour (a glittery cream colour) as the base shade, shade for the inner corner of the eyes as well as the highlight shade underneath my eyebrow.
- Blue circle: I placed this colour (a shimmery taupe-sand colour) in the middle of my eyelid
- Pink circle: I mixed these two colours (a  shimmery light pink and shimmery light purple) and placed them on the outer corner of my eyes

The products I used:-

- Eyeshadows from Elf Everyday Brights 32 Piece Eyeshadow Collection (review here)

- Maybelline Hypersharp Liner (review here)

- Rimmel Extra Wow Lash Mascara (review here)

- Essence Kajal Pencil in White (review here) --> as sticky/creamy base for eyeshadow

- Essence Metallic Eye Pencil in White Divine (review here) --> to line waterline

- Cyber Colours Eye Definer Pencil in Deep Black --> to line outer corner of waterline

- Elf Studio Eye shadow C Brush (review here) --> for applying eye shadow

- Elf Eye Blending Brush (review here) --> for blending eye makeup

So yep! This is a simple, everyday look that anyone can wear! Just pop on the colour and blend according to your liking! Hope you liked the look! =D
