Hi lovelies, if you are following me on Instagram, you probably would know that Christmas came early for us bloggers whom were over at Clinique Christmas Carnival.
As we all know, Christmas is all about sharing and giving. Thanks to Clinique, I got to try some eye and lip products from Clinique which I'm going to share my thoughts on them with you today. Hopefully, it gives you some Christmas present shopping ideas on what to get for your girlfriend/wife/mom/aunt/grandmom/sister/girl-friend if you haven't already gotten Christmas presents for them yet.
Last summer, in late May, I was in Taiwan with 3 of my girlfriends, Andeline, Shin and Chuan. We were in Taipei most of the time and we travelled to Taichung too for a day trip.
I have meant to post about my Taiwan trip and of course, most importantly - beauty brands and products that I spotted in Taiwan as well as my Taiwan beauty haul for the longest time ever but somehow other commitments refrained me from doing so.
Despite it being a few months late, I still want to share this because it would give you guys some insights on what to expect in terms of beauty brands available, type of products available as well as the prices of the products in Taiwan.
This post will focus on the beauty products that I spotted in Cosmed over at Taipei Main Station. Cosmed is a drugstore in Taiwan, the equivalent of Guardian or Watsons. In fact, they have got plenty of drugstores in Taiwan, just that Cosmed and Watsons are still the more popular ones.

Very Estee, Very Beautiful - Grand Opening of Estée Lauder New Flagship Boutique at TANGS Orchard
Estee Lauder TANGS Store
Last month, I attended the opening of Estee Lauder New Flagship Boutique at TANGS Orchard.
For those of you whom are following me on Instagram, you would have seen the photos above that I posted from Bellabox After Work Party.
It was an awesome night with fluttery false eyelashes with Shu Uemura, makeover by a Japanese make up artist (of whom I didn't managed to get his name) who taught me a lot about shading/contouring and highlight. I was also treated to an express manicure by Sally Hansen!
Hi lovelies, I hope that you guys have been enjoying your weekend so far! Make sure you use this weekend to catch up on some sleep if you have been lacking some and do something that you never have the chance to do normally such as enjoying a wholesome breakfast in a cafe while reading your favourite book.
About 3 weeks ago, I was invited to Kose Esprique Makeup Workshop and they had celebrity makeup artist, Clarence Lee over to share with us about one stroke beauty and Lim Pei Fen, 93.3fm DJ as the emcee of the day.
Read on to find out more about one stroke beauty as well as skincare and makeup tips from Clarence Lee!
A while ago, one of my reader, C asked me what kind of makeup is suitable for people whom are fair and have pale-looking skin tone.
The reason why I have dragged this post till now is because I was doing research, observing and asking family or friends whom are fair regarding the kind of colors that they would go for. Without the above, I wouldn't know what would be suitable because personally, I am rather tanned and the colors that I use would probably be not suitable for her.
If you are a Gleek like me whom never fail to catch the latest episode of Glee, you would probably know Diana Agron (Quinn Fabray). She also acted in the movie, I am number 4. Diana Agron (Quinn Fabray) is a cheerleader in the Cheerios team. What I like about her makeup is that she always look as though as she barely wears any makeup. Its all about enhancing natural features with minimal makeup instead of piling on makeup or trying to recreate another look.
Here are some of her photos.

Looking all girly &demure in Glee.
At 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
Am I the only one whom thinks that her makeup makes her resemble Marilyn Monroe Scarlett Johansson?
Bolder lip color with lined eyes and peachy-pink eyeshadow
Spotted with smoky eyes at Golden Globes.
GO FOR:
Colors such as,
- Soft pink
- Beige
- Gold
- Silver
- Light browns
AVOID:
- Warm toned foundation
- Orangey reds
- Frosty finishes
For eyeshadow, soften the look with champagne, dark brown and dark burgundy for a night out instead of black which might look harsh.
For blush, select one that is in soft pink or peach hue. Lastly, finish the look with a soft bright pink lipstick or you might want to try fuschia or bright red lipstick to draw more attention!
For a sunkissed look, dust on bronzer lightly on entire face instead of loose/pressed powder over your foundation.
I hope you girls like this post! And I hope that it has helped you in a way or another. Thanks for reading!
Love,
Patricia
I was first drawn to Lime Crime Makeup because of its bold bright colors (think blue lipstick) and the fact that it uses unicorn for its packaging which is oh so girly.
Lime Crime Makeup is by "Unicorn Queen", Doe Deere whom couldn't find makeup bright enough for her tastes, so she teamed up with a group of chemists to create makeup "so bright, it's illegal"!
Check out the lovely range of lipsticks and eyeshadows. It makes me really tempted to order some online! Is anyone interested? I might open a spree for it.
This has got to be my favourite look! Love the smokey eyes and bold red lips!
And what is the most amazing thing about Doe Deere?
It has got to be her place. Its really amazing. Very magical, fairytale-like. I love the usage of bold colors. Very creative I would say! Check out the video now and you will know what I mean. ;)
