Additional Information:

To further enhance your eyes, apply double eyelid tape and put on circle lens like I did prior to eyeliner application.

The purpose of adding the 'wing' is to give your eyes that sultry look. For a more innocent look, try drawing the eyeliner downwards before 'wing-ing' it out.

Remember to apply mascara to make your eyes look more awake and fresher! I totally skipped this because I was rushing out after taking the pictures. Oops. :X

Products used:

1) MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved
2) Kate Gel Liner in BR-1

This has got to be one of the most requested tutorial from my readers, especially those whom have small eyes or single/hooded-eyelids. Let me know if you girls like this post because I am actually planning to do a series of tutorials for larger looking eyes using different makeup techniques/items.

I hope that this tutorial is of help to you. If there is anything that you don't understand, just ask me either over at my Formspring or email me yea? Let me know if you have any requests and I will see what I can do. (:

Till then!

Love,

As you can see, yours truly has been back on a cooking frenzy which would probably last for just a while. You know I haven't been cooking a real meal for eons. And I seriously doubt I can do a good job on that.

Yea, as I have mentioned in my older post, I love making soup because they are as easy as abc. A friend once said to me that my SO would be very lucky because he would have nice soup to drink everyday. While I beg to differ because he would probably get tired of drinking soup every other day since I would be making it every other day! Laughs.

Anyway, I made vegetable soup the other day using just celery, carrot and tomatoes. Did I mention how much I love celery and tomatoes?

First, get all the ingredients ready.

Once again, throw them all into the cooking pot and you're almost done.

Okay, probably not because I decided to add in beech mushrooms at the very last minute to make it more chewy. Well, women are always fickled-minded, not? You need not add any salt/sugar or soya sauce. Just drink it like that. Its flavorful enough, trust me.

And you get to enjoy your very own homemade vegetable soup! I simply love the taste of it. What say you?

Okay, you are probably bored of my cooking related posts by now. So I shall reward you with some beauty related information now (because that is the reason why you came here for, no?)

So these are some stuffs which I picked up from Watsons a while ago. Notice that I don't post my purchases real-time, as in as soon as I get them? Well, because I have other commitments and taking pictures and resizing them do require a little bit of time. Oh, while we are at this topic, I must say that its a love-hate relationship with my digital camera. I hate how it fails me sometimes especially when I take pictures at night even with the flash on, but yet it produces beautiful quality during day time even without macro mode or flash and I don't even have to edit the lighting and contrast!

These are the stuffs which I got.

Dr. Wu Super Diamond BB Cream, Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening UV Waterlight Lotion and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Disco Ball

I bought the Dr. Wu Super Diamond BB Cream after seeing in it NRWZD and Kevin recommended it. I have used it twice but I felt that its quite drying on my skin compared to other BB Creams which I have used before. I also didn't really like the fact that it makes me look gray. It could be probably because of the way I used it. But on the first day I tried applying the BB Cream only, and the second time I applied a little pressed powder to set it. I would probably give it a few more tries before I come to a conclusion. Have anyone experienced the same problem like I did? On a side note, I saw Laneige's new BB Cream in Metro ytd. I want to try it so badly! But it costs like $49? At $39.90 for Dr. Wu's BB Cream, I already thought that it was expensive. But $49? I guess I probably won't fork out that much for a BB Cream because I would be able to use that amount of money to get a very decent foundation from mid-high end make up brands.

As for the Neutrogena sunblock, I'm totally loving it. I use it as a makeup base, or even after my 3-step skincare on days when I go without makeup. Its not greasy which I like! But, do be extremely careful when applying it because if it gets into your eyes, it stings badly, like big time!

Lastly, I'm totally loving the Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear series. Disco Ball is my second bottle from the series. The first one which I got was Cherry Red which is a sexy red and it simply reminds me of SIA girls' nails. Disco Ball sparkles like literally disco ball. The sparkles are like AB crystals. So pretty!! And, it doesn't break your wallet at a mere $7.90 or $7.50. I can't remember. Do correct me if I am wrong. I don't know but I simply love Sally Hansen's nail polish. If you have been following my blog, you should know how much I adore Sally Hansen!

I am adoring nude lips at the moment. To achieve nude lips, apply a thin layer of concealer on your lips (you could use lip concealers or the normal concealer by dabbing it on or with a lip brush for a more refined look and apply your favourite nude gloss on it).

Products used:

1) Mac Select Moisture Cover
2) Canmake Nudy Glow in 03

Till then! ♥

Za Perfect Concealer

As I had normal skin back then, my face was clear with occasion zits. Hence having a few pimples was a big deal to me. However, I don't remember using this concealer for long. I mostly use it to conceal my pimples, that's all. FYI, I don't really use concealer on an everyday basis, just on special occasions or when I'm doing a full face. And guess what? I actually read an article online which says that attempting to conceal a pimple which has not healed fully would actually worsen the condition!

I used to use 2-way foundation from Za and I Nuovi back then, hence I rarely use concealer because I didn't see the need to until one day I realized that I needed concealer to conceal pimples again. It was then that I got I Nuovi Perfector.

FOTD (Products used):

1) Koji Eye Talk
2) Lancome Teint Idole Ultra
3) MAC Select Moisturecover
4) Lancome Mat Finish
5) Lancome Blush Subtil
6) MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil #Engraved (For tightlining)
7) Beautify Transplating Gel and Natural Fibre (One coat)
8) NYX Round Lipstick in Indian Pink
9) NYX Round Lipgloss in Whipped

I really liked how I did my eyes. For once, it looks bigger. Haha. I felt in love with tightlining almost immediately when I saw the results. What's not to like about it? It makes my eyes appear larger without being afraid that it might smudge! But I really dont like my nose. Its so big and flat. I remember I once read in Cleo that now one can inject nose fillers to make the nose bridge higher without having to go through surgery. If I never remember wrongly, its about say $700+ per shot at Camden Medical.

My current favourites include NYX Round Lipstick in Indian Pink. Its really pretty!!! Especially when topped with my all-time favourite NYX Round Lipgloss in Whipped. I use my NYX Round Lipgloss in Whipped almost on top of every other lipstick to 'seal' and matify the color.

MAC brush cleaner, concealer, 224 brush &eye pencil sharpener

Check out the four leaf clover one. Its done by yours truly!!

From Left to Right:

1) Paul & Joe Lipstick N #10
2) MAC Lustre in Giddy
3) I Nuovi, Ivoluxe in Lush
4) Revlon Matter in Really Red #006

Top row: Paul &Joe, I Nuovi
Bottom row: MAC, Revlon

Of all, I use my MAC lipstick the most because its a real sweet color. Its kind of creamy pink. &It goes well with all kinds of makeup. I bought the Paul&Joe one to achieve the nude look. Its shimmery though. As for the I Nuovi one, I got it because I wanted something that looks like Maybelline's Pink Please. It was the closest but still, nowhere near hence I ordered Pink Please online yesterday. Oh yes, the Revlon one is real pigmented which I didnt expect. It good especially to achieve the French look. Think Little Black dress with black smokey eyes and red lipstick.

Hope you guys enjoy this post! Till next time. (:
