FOTD : It was just another wedding reception

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Another FOTD and an inclusive ROTD (Ring of The Day), I won't be posting a lot of ROTD because I hardly have an extensive collection. So I might just use my next few pays to actually invest in some of these finger candies.

Went to a wedding reception of my cousin's cousin, I went there with my brother and little sister. I'm sorry about the picture below, it's only after the reception that I decided to take pictures, LOL!

But it was okay, my nose is a little bit shiny but that's normal for me. Sorry for my bleeding lips, it's not in its best condition currently.

Make-up Review : Hare Magic Lipstick

 Assalamualaikum pretty ladies

I would first of all would love to thank my friend from Little Red Viola for giving me two of these lipsticks. This lipstick is actually very famous in Brunei and maybe, even in Malaysia. It is a lipstick that older generations loved to use as it is "magic"

There's not much to see from the packaging, it is flimsy and tacky, but I don't really care much about the packaging because I know the performance of this lipstick is beyond some of the lipsticks in my collection.

As you can see, the lipstick is green in color, okay, I wouldn't call this a lipstick actually, more like a lipstick stain.

For the first few seconds, the swatch is very much sheer but then as time goes on, the swatch turns into this hot berry pink that actually really depends on your natural lip color. This lipstick really stains for a few hours, it can even reach 12 hours and the pigment on your lips is still strong and bright.

The color is so suited for everyday's use or even for a nice evening date as I never really thought to touch it up except touching up with a lip gloss.

It's moisturizing and there's a little glossy effect, this have been my favorite after I received this from my friend and I really love this to bits and I'd definitely repurchase if only I can finish it up, LOL

Favorites: January 2013

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

So I decided to do something new, I hardly ever make a favorite monthly post as I hardly rotate with my makeup mainly because I usually stick with the same old things that I used the past months. I still should post what I'm loving this month as now that my main mission for the past few weeks is to finish up my less favorite BB Creams which I'll be putting it on a new post.

This is what I've been reaching for during the month of January, although I was being snobby on my review for MUA's Undressed Palette, but I've now warmed up to it. I've been using Shade 5, a matte shadow which is slightly darker than my skintone, I sometimes use this to contour my nose and also use this as a lid wash. Also with Shade 8 and 10, they are my go-to defining shadows to create neutral smokey effect, but I'd pack on it if I were to go out at night and for shade 9, I like to use it for my crease to create a gradient effect.

For the Essence Multi Action False Lashes, I'd definitely repurchase this as it does give me voluminous and defined lashes, though not sure about lengthening, but I'm not picky with my mascaras, as long as it creates nice lashes for me then it should be fine.

I never thought that I could actually use Essence Gel Eyeliner in London, Baby on my waterline and it doesn't even budge, it was still pigmented at 8pm and I applied it around 6am? So, it became the eyeliner that I've reached for.

For Hare Magic Lipstick (review coming soon), it's been my go-to lipstick ever since I received this. This really rocks, an old-time favorite with the older generations. Also, I'm a big fan of BB Creams but I hate the fact that they're too light for me, so I bought Essence's Soft & Natural Make-up Long-lasting Foundation in Light Caramel which is a little too dark for me and I used this to mix with my BB Creams to match with my skintone.

Tell me what's your current favorite?
