For a period of time, this was my favourite to-go outfit for almost any non-formal occassion. If you haven't heard of TEMT, which you should already have, they are so cheap and sells very decent fashion clothings. When they have sales item, it can go down to SGD4.95!

I've made a small compilation of a few of my favourites makeup products in the past couple of months.
Not a very lengthy post but I do hope that you find this useful!



Innisfree Creamy Eyeshadow Stick

This stick is perfect for beginners. I am definitely a beginner for eyeshadow. I have hidden eyelids which makes me look as though I have single eyelid and personally, I feel that eyeshadows doesn't work well on single eyelids. Therefore I barely touch eyeshadow. I don't even have any eyeshadows in my makeup stash. This is not until I saw my cousin swipe this stick onto her eyelids and there was an instant shine. Fuss-free procedure, as though I witnessed magic. I personally love this eyeshadow stick because despite of the creamy texture, it is light on the eyes. A few layers of application still ensures the light natural color and  it does not get any oilier as time goes by. This one-time eyeshadow application makes my makeup procedure a whole lot easier. Definitely a must have in your makeup pouch especially when you don't have enough time to do makeup every morning.






Duo-tone color consists of pigmented champagne upper half and soft pink lower half. I fell in love with it instantly and bought without much consideration. I am naturally drawn to blush colored items so naturally this caught my eyes. It brightens up my eye area and I look more energetic than when I apply nothing on my eyelids at all. This can help you achieve a very natural look if you decide on a foundation-and-eyeshadow-only day.





Lancome - Rouge In Love / Color Code 345B

This belongs to my sister and I have recently fell in love with this healthy pink shade. It is pigmented and creamy. A to-go lipstick colour if you're dressed in white and want to achieve the radiant and healthy pink look. I will usually mix this shade with a few other lipstick colours depending on my mood and dress style. I like to apply a few layers on my lips to achieve an even thicker and more pigmented look when I head out at night. It's a lipstick colour that suits both an office day and ladies' night.




I will usually apply this after Lancome's lipstick to make my lips look fuller and shinier. I will not suggest that you use this without applying any lipstick because this lip tint does not have a very good coverage on the lips. If you apply this raw, the inner part of your lips will look as though you've applied nothing and the outer lining of your lips will have have a thick line of tint around it. Does not look very flattering. So I suggest that you use a pink lipstick as a base and then apply this. It is quite creamy and a little sticky. However, the effect of this colour is quite distinct. It has a pretty nice scent to it as well.




DiorSkin Rosy Glow Blusher

This particular blusher will adjust its colour to your skin colour on application. So far, this has served me well. I have been using this and it really never failed to bring out the blush I want on different days, with different style, on different makeup. I would say this is quite worth the bucks than to try many other different types of blusher and find that they don't suit your skin colour that well.



This is my current favourite scent gifted by my Grandaunt on my 21st Birthday. Lovely and practical gift.

Sincerely hope that this makeup post is helpful to you.

Have a lovely weekend x

This post is dedicated to the makeup products I use when I head out on a normal day. There'll be days that I apply makeup to school and days that it'll be too late for me to apply anything. I apply makeup according to my mood. What matters most is that you must be comfortable with your skin, with and without makeup.





First layer: Dior Radiant Base 010
Second Layer: Etude House BB Cream Cotton Fit
Third Layer: Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray

I always wash my face with cleansing foam first before applying anything because I feel that I'm retaining the freshness of my face. I don't usually apply Dior Base. I directly skip to BB Cream. But if I do, it's my first layer of application. Dior Radiant Base brightens up dull skin. My skin instantaneously glows when I apply. Etude House's BB Cream Cotton Fit is meant for oily skin and I personally feel it fits my skin quite well. It does make my skin look less oily but having oily skin will mean that after a few hours, my face will start 'reflecting' light. I will need dab tissue paper to get rid of the excess oil on my face. Until one day, I saw someone recommending Urban Decay's setting spray on YouTube. So my final step becomes Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray Oil Control, which is the best makeup setter I've used. My skin really stops 'reflecting' light even after many hours outside. If you have experience with skin that 'reflects' light, you have to try this setting spray. It can be found on Sephora. Mine was a smaller bottle which costs SGD$22. The normal bottle costs SGD$45. One of the best makeup material I've ever invested on.





Peach Pink Blusher

I found this beautiful glittery blusher palette when I walked pass the cosmetic section of Daiso. The color intensity is not really there on the first layer of application but it does build up to a natural blush, which is a perfect fit for a natural look. So far it works well on my skin. If you're going budget or you want to try various coloured blusher, SGD$2 isn't too bad to play around with.





First Layer: Urban Decay Anti-Ageing Eye Primer
Second Layer: Stila Black Eyeliner
Dior Powder Eyebrow Pencil

My Sister recommended Urban Decay Eye Primer to me and I've never used any other eye primer every since. It's smooth and doesn't pile up on my eyelid. Basically it's light on the eyes. It sets my eyeliner and eyeshadows very well. Urban Decay products might be slightly pricier but for the quality, it's definitely worthwhile. Apply eye primer as the base as it holds your eye make up together.



I've tried many eyeliners but I really love Stila's liquid eyeliner. It's super rich and easy to apply. It doesn't prick my eyelids unlike some other brands which I've used before. I highly recommend Stila Eyeliner if you're looking for a really good one. Stila eyeliner has received many many good reviews on the Internet as well. The Dior Powder Eyebrow Pencil that I have now suits my hair color which in turn help me achieve a natural look. Days that I head out with light makeup, it's a must to get my eyebrows done. There were some other brands' eyebrow pencils that I felt when I go light, I barely see anything and when I use more strength, the color only comes out a little. Dior Powder Eyebrow Pencil is very consistent with the amount of energy you apply. A great helper to give your face a more complete look.



Well if you realise, I did not include my Mascara because I really rarely apply them because removing them is very troublesome. But if I do, I use my Sister's Lancome Hypnôse Mascara. The brush bristle are super fine but they don't clutter together. Every time after applying the Mascara, I don't feel the heavy cluttered sticky eyelash. Instead, it's light and natural. No doubt that it's been voted one of the best Mascaras.








First Layer: Blistex Lip Moisturiser
Second Layer: Dior Rouge Tutu
Third Layer: Dior Lip Maximizer

I dislike how chapped my lips can get when I apply lipstick directly. The layer of lipstick cracks and it looks pretty bad as a whole. I will usually apply a layer of lip moisturiser before applying lipstick. I got Blistex from Watsons It's super moisturising and I feel that it protects my lips from the chemicals of lipsticks. Not sure if that's true though. I do mix my lipstick colors to achieve the shade I want. I'm currently using Dior's Rouge Tutu. I'm looking for a darker shade like pinkish-red lipstick kind. Any recommendations? The final touch for lips would be to dab a bit of Dior Lip Maximizer to the lips. It carries a tint of minty feel and it gives the extra shine you need for any event. It is very natural and just like most people, I apply it only at the final step. But also, I only apply the lip maximiser if I'm attending some events or I am in extremely good mood that I feel it's necessary to put on this final layer.







A disorganised makeup stash can be really messy and most of the time you will be scouring all over the mess just for the eyeliner. I figured I wouldn't want that so I got this see-through makeup holder from Daiso to fill it with my most-used makeup products. A good compartment for $2 only, why not! Most of my makeup products are from Sephora or from their original shop. Some were gifted by my Sister and Mum. Blessed indeed!

Hope you find some of my reviews useful x
