FOTD: Fall look

Have any of you ever got out of makeup looks to do?? I have, all the time, i guess it all depends on my mood. Sometimes i would be out of ideas to do makeup, mostly eyeshadows looks. Especially for me, since i asian and don't have deep socket eyes, it is hard to do makeup. I tried and tried to do many kind of styles for my eyes to make it look like its deep. But failed many times. Well i guess couple days ago, i tried a way to make my eyes look deeper bye drawing a line of where i want my crease to look deep( i know this my sounds confusing but the pictures will help). Once i get my lighting and place right, i will do a tutorial on applying different kind of looks for eyes. =] I was about to do step by step by doing this fall's look, but my camera was out of battery, so i can only take the after shots. =[ Anywho, i hope you guys like this look for fall. It can be a lil bit too dramatic, but it is suitable for a night on the town. =D


WHAT I USED

FACE
-I didnt use any foundations or minerals, this is my bare naked face. Except for blush though.

EYES
-My 88 color palette; i mostly use orange, and browns
-NYC eyebrow shadows
-JW gel liner in Marcasite

FOTD: Light smokey blue

I been trying my best to do a different look every other day, but that will be really hard for me, since i am sucha lazy person! But today i tried a smokey blue look, somehow, in real life, the shadow looks really dark, but on pictures it looks so light. Anywho, i use this color from the 88 color palette my aunt got for me in VN, the colors are so pigmented and i am planning to get another one on Coastalscents. Hope you guys like this look!

Eyes:
  • 88 color palette i got in VN
  • Model 21 lashes
  • NYX black eyeliner
Lips:
  • Mac lipstick in Faux
  • D&G lipgloss ( love that color gloss!!)
Cheeks
  • Jane blush shimmer




Shiseido mascara base

I bought the Shiseido mascara base for a long time now and used it couple times since i dont wear makeup much. It claims to keep the lashes longer and lets your lashes stay curl for a long time. Since my lashes are really short, i just wanted to be at least curl longer when i use mascara. So i tested to it out, and for me, i would rate it 4/5 because it did stay curl for my lashes up to 8+ hours! I did took some pictures to prove it. Its pretty amazing.

Overall i really happy with the base. I only use this when i go out, not on regular basis. I bought this at Sephora, its around $22, it can be a little pricey, but i am sure that there are other ones that are good too but less pricey than $22. IF any of you guys think there is a better mascara base that is cheaper let me know!! =]


This Morning around 11:00 AM

Nailtique Avacado foot cream

Have any of you ever have cracked heel on your feet?? Yes, i have, and i hated it. About a year ago, i realized that my heels got so cracked and it was annoying me. I didnt know the reason y, and that's when i realized it was because i've been wearing sandals everyday, and wasn't wearing socks and shoes. For me, i wear sandals everyday, so the dirt, wind, and sun made my heels dry really bad, to the point where the skin would comes off. Yes, its horrible, but i found a solution. No, it's not wearing socks and shoes again, but using a foot cream. I tried this one brand, at first, it worked for me. But after that, i see it got better, so i stop using it, then it came back, and i tried to used it again, but it didnt help my heels heal.

So i went to my local beauty supply and purchase this brand call Nailtiques, it's a avacado foot cream, it costs around $2.00, which was a pretty good deal. The sales lady told me that its a really good cream and a lot of people like it. That night, i used it, and notice the difference right away. So the next day, i see it got better, and my heel feels softer too. So i would recommend to those who is struggling with cracked heels!

Rating: 5/5

Make sure to use it around 3 to 4 times a week if you want to see the results. =]



My cracked heel (it looked better now, before it was 10x worst than this.)


After putting on the cream, let it dry.

FOTD: Neutral brown

I been so busy this week, midterm, essays, blah blahss, and work! GOSH i really hate my job, i really need to find a better job than talking on the phone all day with people who i dont even like!!!! So yeahhh, how is everyone doing? I am so glad that my weekend has already started! I dont have work or school on Fridays, which i loveeee... hehe. So tonight i wanted to try the neutrals brown look. without black eyeliner or fake eyelashes!! Gasp!! I reallly hate my eyelashes becuz they are so freaking short! Also, my eyelids are kinda weird, they are really puffy, so its really hard to put on eyeshadows for myself. Seriously, i cant even do makeup for myself! I only match with smokey eye look, but not the crease style. I look horrible with the crease style, esp. without fake lashies. So yea, this is my look, hope u guys like it w/out the falsies and eyeliner! Just becuz i always wanted to try without black eyeliner for once. =D


NOTE: these pix are fresh off my camera, i didnt photoshop it to make it look better, sorry if the lighting is bad! =]
