Your daily bread on Beauty

My collection

Posted By cherylbianca ~ Oct 21, 2008 8:38PM
Urban Decay Shadow Box is something I've always wanted. After looking at so many people reviews, I became really tempted to get one. But lucky me, got this as part of my birthday gift. 10 vibrant colors were staring back at me when I held this in my hand. Tried doing some swatches, and this is the result.All of these are applied without any base or primer, but look at how bright it is. So gorgeous! Colors from left to right are Smog, Mildew, Oil Slick, Last Call, Chopper, Maui Wowie, Shattered, Polyester Bride, Grifter and Sin.

Now, I've gotta get cracking what to do with these colours! Hmm...

DOPE

Posted By cherylbianca ~ Oct 19, 2008 10:13PM
I'm definitely not a dope. But I do like the cap that my lil' sista bought for me, so with it, I've gotten the next inspiration. Something colourful. Had tried rainbow colors before, so I thought, why not something bright, but not too many colours. And there you go, DOPE arrived!NYX pigments are definitely impressive. Have yet to do swatches on it, but I can't help but to sing praises of how strong the pigments are. All I need is just a little bit, and the colour last. It did not fade a single bit.And a picture of my lips for that day.Here's a little tip, to get more attention for on your lips, sprinkle a little gold glitter in the middle vertically after applying the lipstick colour of your choice. Follow by applying the lip gloss. The glitters will reflect light, thus, making your lips look pouty and pretty.

Having said that, I can't wait to get my hands on Too Faced Lip Injection gloss. Shall try those sweet little things one day. As of now, glitters does the job. =)

Babe, named this look after you. Its pretty obvious, because I used the MAC palette that you gave for my birthday. So, I did a tutorial for you, and hopefully you find this useful. And this is the look that you will be getting. Pardon my tutorial, I don't think it is very well done, because its my virgin attempt. Forgive me ya?I know she like smoky look, so I made full use of the palette, Shadowy Lady X 4. Shadowy Lady consist of Lightfall, Smudged Violet, Deep Truth and Shadowy Lady. First of, start with a clean face, prep it, and apply Urban Decay Primer Potion all over your eye lids.

Next, using MAC paint pot "Painterly", apply all over up to the creases.Then, using your medium round brush, pick up Smudged Violet, and applied up to your eye crease. And you should be looking like this by now.After this, use your angled brush and pick up Shadowy Lady and applied it at the outermost of your eye, creating a "V" shape, and slightly blend in.Then, using your blending brush, take some Lightfall and applied it right below your brow. This helps in highlighting your brow. With the same brush, blend all the colours together, so that no harsh lines can be seen. Lastly, as you have noticed, the blue (which is otherwise known as Deep Truth) was not used. So using a small, thin angled brush, underline your lower lash line. Try using Maybelline Impact Express Teal together to get a much more attracting blue.There you go, once all colours are up, apply your eyeliner and mascara. Your eyes are now complete. Fill in your brows and do not forget your blusher and lipstick. In this look, I used Bad Girl Lash Mascara from Benefit.So babe, try it ok? And do give me your most sincere comments. Hopefully, all of you enjoyed reading this. =)

Happy Belated Birthday to Me

Posted By cherylbianca ~ Oct 12, 2008 3:06PM
Yup, I'm officially 21 years old, there goes my freedom key. Yipee.. No longer under my parents wing. Held a little party and I'm here to show you how I look that day. The whole eye makeup was using Milani alone. And I certainly do love how I look that day.No close up shots of my eyes. But look carefully, I did eyelashes perming once again. As I grow older, I began to get a little lazy for putting those falsies. Afterall, natural is still the best.

And oh, not forgetting the haul of makeups that my friends got me. How can I ever thank them? Really happy about it! Take a look!The brushes alone had already caused my jaws to drop. Makeup brushes are not cheap, much less the whole package of it. I was really terrified when I saw it. It was like a dream come true. Had always wanted the whole set of makeup brushes, but the thought of spending my money on it, is so not worth, that's why I own only the essential tools. But now, I own the whole set. Gosh! And if you look into that big red box, its all makeup from different brands- ranging from Urban Decay, NYX, Too Faced, Benefit, and Bare Escentuals. All imported from oversea. I'm too happy for words. So girls, stay tune for all the swatches, and of course, more looks and reviews. Thank you girls for the wonderful gifts. Oh, not forgetting dear Melissa, for giving me MAC eyeshadow. Yup, dear, for you, I'll do a tutorial. I love all of you. Big kiss- MUACKS!!!

P.S. My party photos are in my personal blog. To view, click here.
Love,
Bianca

Warning: The pictures this time round is not properly taken. Nevertheless, the eye makeup can still be see. Pardon me ya? I was in rushed for my birthday celebration.

This look took me approximately an hour to get it done. Its not the usual pinkish tones that you see on me. In fact, no pink was used. Basically, its just yellow, brown and teal. And trust me, teal is one good colour that goes well with anyone.I'm certainly not proud of the photography this time. But still, everything is pretty clear (self consolation). I will definitely do this look again another round. And if you like it, I will post it as a tutorial too.

P.S. Yipee, I'm glad. I've gotten all my Milani Runway eyeshadow collection. I know I'm slow, but its part of my happiness. =)

Dolling my friends~

Posted By cherylbianca ~ Oct 8, 2008 11:13PM
Had an escape from Singapore, and now that I'm back, its time for blogging ya? Finally I received the pictures from Aini. Yep, its the day when I did makeup for both Aini and Uma. And someone actually commented that I looked very focused and serious while I do makeup. Haha.. Look at the table, palettes and palettes. But those are just a handful of my collection. Can't possibly carry the whole makeup kit to work.Pictures are not really clear, and the lighting is definitely not helping. But its alright, just a rough idea. Here we go.Simple makeup for Uma, so I did velvet for her, since she is wearing something in purple.

And green for Aini.Photos does not do justice. Basically, the inner corner is yellow gold, and I added shimmery green on the outer. Yea, once again, I like her makeup.

Ok, that's all for now. I really sleepy. Shall update soon!

Love,

Review: D Makeup Corrector

Posted By cherylbianca ~ Oct 4, 2008 11:29PM
This little thing caught my attention when I was shopping over at Daiso. I was pretty much curious how exactly does this makeup corrector work? Won't it be the same if I were to use a makeup remover and remove the flaws that I wanted out. But since it only cost $2, I decided to purchase it and give it a try.The packaging itself failed to impress me. But what can you expect for something that is only worth $2 right? You pay for what you get. Nevertheless, it didn't bother me much. Afterall, I'm only interested to know how and if this thing work.

When I first tested it on my hand, it felt like candle wax to me. And somehow, it has this slight oily feeling. Well, I really hate things that make my face feel greasy, but am I glad to know that the greasiness will be gone once you wiped everything away.While dolling myself, I accidentally got a smudge line below my right eye. Alright, now we are going to put this corrector into good use. Hmm..So, using the tip of the applicator, apply it to the affected area. Just apply minimal, after which, you wipe it with a clean tissue paper. And viola, the ugly flaw is gone forever.So there goes the question, what's the difference with makeup remover pad or cleanser? I would say, this is more time saving. As the tip is small, you will only focus on the flaw itself and will not end up removing makeup that is around the flaw.

What I like: -The price. Its only $2. Even if this does not work, I would not feel the heartache.
- The small tip that will only be focus on the spot that you want to remove.
- Size of it makes it so handy that you can carry it everywhere you go.

What I dislike: - Though the tip may be small, but there is no way you can sharpen it, thus after long use, its going to be blunt, and the focus area will be bigger. Blah.
- Greasy feeling. But like I mentioned above, everything can be wiped away by tissue.
- Packaging really fails to impress me. Seriously, it look as though its something that would be chuck at one corner after some time.

Price: $2 available at Daiso

Will I buy again: Maybe. In fact, most probably, yes. =)

Japanese stuffs never fail to amaze me.

Inspired Arabian Look

Posted By cherylbianca ~ Oct 3, 2008 4:12PM
I've always adore Arabian makeups. The eyes are always so vibrant with colour. The mixture of different colours just blend so nicely with one another. Besides, they always have this mysterious look which is so attention seeking, and others eyes are constantly stuck on them.

After much time, I've finally trying this on myself. In a different lighting.I just love those eyes. Eyeliner shapes out the eyes so beautifully. For this look, my playthings are purely MAC pigments and eyeshadow. Intensify the colours by using a wet brush. Deliberately kept my lips nude so that the eyes can get more attention.And for some reason, I have no idea why, I like this picture (above).That's all for now. Need nap before I start my work later on. I can't wait for my annual leave. Wow wee!

Yours truly,
Bianca

Everyone's Doing It

Posted By cherylbianca ~ Oct 2, 2008 11:55PM

Everyone who owns Urban Decay Primer Potion will definitely do this. Its a well known fact that the packaging is not user friendly. Just when you thought you had already used up your potion because the applicator seems to be getting dry, you got yourself a surprise when you find out that there are tons of it inside left, untouched.

Therefore, today its my turn to do what I should do. Cutting open this little bottle. (Aww, when will Urban Decay arrive to Singapore? The shipping fee is so expensive. Sob.)Bought this 3-in-1 container from Daiso, and without further ado, I gotten everything going.It would be a sin for me to waste this large amount. Fully untouched!Now I'm truly satisfied. =)My next post will be on this cheap looking thing. Now, what exactly is this? I'm beginning to fall in love with it. Stay tune!

Review: Lioele Blooming Shimmer Pearl Base

Posted By cherylbianca ~ Sep 30, 2008 2:58AM
Oh gosh, I'm so addicted to makeup, which is pretty obvious. Its like written all over my forehead. Trying to update my blog through my hectic schedule. Next week, I will be having my annual leave, which means, I will have tons of time to do review, and play around with colours. Hopefully, I get some assignments too. Anyone need a makeup artist?


Anyway, today I wanna share with you my experience with Lioele Blooming Shimmer Pearl Base. It is known for its waterproof and shining effect. Available in gold and pink, I chose to test the pink base.
Indeed, true to its word, the light reflecting pearl makes your face look all glowy with its shining effect, enhancing your all glamorous look. I especially like the fact that it is able to act as a highlight. However, the con of this product is, it make your face turn oily after awhile. In fact, for mine, it turned oily in less than an hour. Now, I couldn't possibly be blotting my face every 15 minutes. You know what I mean.
What I like: -The base itself is pink, and I'm a big sucker for anything PINK.

- Scent. It has this very sweet and pleasant smell.

- Economical pricing. Everything is so expensive this day, but I'm glad that this is not overpriced.

What I dislike: -The oilyness. Eww... It will be perfect if I was in a cold country. Being in Singapore, the outburst of sweat is not going to be friendly on the skin.

Price: $22 for 15mls

Quality: 3/5

Will I buy it again: Maybe.
