[MakeUps] Givenchy (half) Family

Hello blog,

It has been awhile, I should stop with reminding my blog about that. Anyway, remember that entry that I said about posting an entry with Givenchy family? Anyway, I have lied, not a whole family, just half a family. So basically, I'm only be able to get mascara, foundation, and lipstick. 

I have always been a fan of Dior foundation. I'm not lying that Dior gives you the best feel on your skin and the scent is very light and lively, BUT for some odd reason, I always feel like it's not photogenic enough or maybe it was just me being a fool. So I decided to pick a new foundation, and I give Givenchy a chance (always trying new things, that's my line and motto LOL) and I would say I'm happy with the product, VERY MUCH happy ^^ The one that I picked is actually photo-friendly. This foundation is used for taking pictures or photos, it would light up your face and give perfect complexion of smoothness when flash shining your feature. The color I picked is actually light sort of beige color, just because I want to look a bit paler and so I don't have to put too much foundation on, just a thin layer and it would be perfect to brighten the features. 

GIVENCHY FOUNDATION

Mostly foundation nowadays can act like your sunscreen with their SPF around up to 40+; however, I would like to keep mine around 10-15, max I would go is around 30 but no longer. Just because the SPF is a larger number doesn't mean that you are allow to stay in the sun longer. That's true BUT your skin will be destroy if you stay in the sun for too longer, it would cause other malfunction as well, which is why I would like to keep the SPF at a low level so that I know that I can only stay in the sun that little time and must cover myself BEFORE I make my skin aged on its own. 

GIVENCHY MASCARA - Black

In the Givenchy Phenomen Entry I talked about how much I love the ball-brush of this mascara. This time I found the longer version of this mascara, where it has 3-ball size brush. This type of mascara works the exact same as the other, only different is that with the 3-ball, it helps to brush out the lashes and help to make them look volume and longer. At the first brush, nothing as that stunning, the second time around, you see all the volume, and the third time, the length is define. Your mascara will look longer and volume than normal, which I love so much. The con side to this is that it dried out fast! I'm serious and the clumps are nasty as well. You need a tissue to wipe out the excessive clumps. 

GIVENCHY LIPSTICK - Rouge

Who loves Red Lips? LOL i'm not a fan but sometimes I like to be BOLD! So this rouge makes a perfect match for the pale skin (the reason I bought light foundation). The color here is sure stunning and last quite long (obviously with eating and all, it would fade). Mixing this color with a lip gloss, it would shine like no others. The down side to this is the color is DARK! I mean it would turn to super red if you fill up your whole lips with just the lipstick. So my way to fix it is to use my finger OR Q-tip to get a bit of the lipstick and apply it on the lips evenly. That helps to reduce the redness. And add lipgloss to make it shine ^^ 

That's all for this half-family LOL I need to try out the blush and eye shadows. I want to know what they look like when mix together on my skin type ^^ 

[Makeup] MakeUpForever & Christian Dior

Hello blog,

I know I know, I'm not good at keeping promises T.T I did say that I would write about Givenchy family but it turns out that's a long wait. So today, I'm coming back with another patch, I promise when I have gathered all of my Givenchy I'll make a post, I do promise~ *HUG* 

Now onto what I want to say today. 

First, the reason I didn't post for the past month(s) is because I went through a bit of a "break up" (quote is because it was only 2 weeks dating, so it's not a real breakup but whatever, I'm over it LOL) and find peace through those chaos time, so I sort of in a way had been ignoring this blog >.> yea me and emotional shit, never good together LOL 

Second, to find back the real me (as if I have never been one LOL) I have figured out that no matter what, I'm still in love with makeups and shopping LOL they are my perfect comfort (yea, keep saying that). 

Due to that second purpose, here I am, posting more make up LOL 

Lately I have been questioning myself "why is that my makeup looks like they are going to fade or "fall apart!" I talked with a professional and she asked me "did you use primer?" Know what my reaction: "woot, i forgot *sheepishly smiled*" and she nodded her head and said "that's why" Before I thought primer was ,just another add-on to make your face look more like a cake, but now understanding primer, I have to admit, it does help to keep all my makeup together. I'm not being flattering, I'm just speaking the true. I had used this primer before but decided to stop because of that "weird" thought, but now I know it only helps my make up more, I'm willing to try it again. I use the most basic one, (trying a product is not about getting what has more amount or expensive, it's about what look best for your skin, each person has different skin tone) 

MAKE-UP-FOREVER - HD Primer - 00 

I have to agree that with this brand, my makeup is tighten together and there is no fading ^^, it feels like my foundation is not being melted away by the summer heat ^^ 

I have a weird habit, whenever I broke up with someone OR someone broke up with me. I would take a few days being all sentimental and then three days later, you would find me in my living room, looking up internet for tips of being an "attractive" woman >.> Yea I'm weird in that sense but that somehow the first step of me moving on LOL 

And I read this very interesting tip: Find your own perfume, every woman needs a perfume to define them and stick with it. And I found mine~ 

Dior Addict 2 

Freaking love this one, the scent is just perfectly sweet~ and it stays on longer, I'm going to stick with this from now on, until they decide to stop making this line. XD 

That's it for today~ next time I'll post Givenchy~ that's for sure~ I'm looking at them now, to see which one to edit LOL *HUG* 

Until next time~ 

{Make-Up} Mascaras & Brow Filler

Hello my blog~! 

Ok i've been MIA-ing for the past weeks//months....don't remember anymore T.T sorry ~ 

Anyway~ I'm here for the last patch of my makeup post~ So before I left for Vegas...two months ago T.T yes i know it's like...FOREVER since that but hey at least I try to write something here XDDD 

So due to the fact that I would be in Vegas to celebrate my friend's bday, I rewarded myself with make-up shopping spree and of course new hair style...hence...explaining my blonde hair XDDD So I told myself i need a brow filler with a lighter color to lighten my natural brows...i love them but they are too dark to go with my current light hair color. And I was so glad that I went! XDD My intention was only to buy the filler but don't trust girl and shopping, I got a mascara as an extra after that bought *rolls* 

1. BOBBY BROWN Pencil (brow filler) 

PROS: Love the color! Perfect ashed blonde to go with my blonde hair color~ You can tell the color blend in with my natural brows and it makes everything a quick go for everyday make-up! I love that the pencil is easy to use and the led is very soft, plus a bit of a cool feeling? Maybe because I always keep it in a cool area and away from the sun *shrugs* The other end is a perfect sync with the color~ it makes all my work much easier~ XD 

CONS: It ran out fast! I mean, I have been using it for two months now...no, scratch that! One month and a week now and I almost run out of it. I don't normally put a lot on my brows, so I'll say i'm a moderate user...or LESS user in other cases. I have a feeling I might need to go get myself another one soon if I keep my blonde hair color for the next round. I'm not saying that it's bad, it's just imagine if I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY (which i'm not, only like 5 days a week or less), I would have bought my second one by now. Since it's a pencil, you must have a sharpener for it. Not all make-up pencil has the same width, so if you don't have one yet, prepared yourself for buying one. If you get it at Sephora, then you have to pay like $10 more i think? for the sharpener. I'm just saying. If you already have one, good! if not, buy one. 

2. BENEFIT They're REAL Mascara 

I love to try out new things, so when a sale associate recommended this to me, of course I bought it. 

PROS:  Love the length it gives me (not as much but there is the length) and I love the end ball at the tip of the brush, it makes all the edges of the corner of my eyes much easier to brush~ So I will have full mascara eyes, NOT just the middle of it. It separates all of my lashes, gives this real and natural look and I love it! 

CONS: If you have long lashes by natural, this is PERFECT for you. But if you are like me (Asian, light lashes, and not too long but not too short lashes) then you better not get it. When I applied it on, I feel like it's not there. I have to find aid in my Givenchy (which I'll talk about in the next entry, along with its other sisters). Since this one only focus on length, it will not give you the volume that you want. So think about what lashes you are, before buying it. It's a good mascara but it's not exactly the one for me. Therefore, this will be the last time I buy it. 

That's all~ next time, we talk about Givenchy and you will be amazed at how much I love my buys XDDD *HUG* & *KISSES* 

P.S: I know no one would do this, but if there is any cosmetic brand you want me to try, go ahead and let me know. I will try them on and tell you how I feel about it. ^^ 

Anyway~ until the next entry! XD 

[MAKE-UPS] Random Boughts

Dear blog,

Here I am again ^^

As promise, another make-up patch is on the way! kekekekek

So introduction for today: Lip gloss & eyelashes glue kekekke

MAKEMANIA DATA: HAPPY STRAWBERRY DATE!

Pros: Strawberry is the lovely flavor and it tastes like a sweet nectar kekekek It gives this 3D look as it promotes on the wrapper. Your lips look so full and plum that it's so irresistible. The radiant from center lips toward outter lips, make your lips look yummy and ready to ravish (ok i'm being weird LOL) What i love best? the sweet natural look of your lips and it went well with fair complex skin. 

Cons: It wear off quick, you have to constantly apply it on after a few hours. 

DARKNESS: Eyelashes Glue & Double Eyelid

Pros: Clear color is perfect! Super glue! Stay on all day! When take off, it won't make you go "FUCK! MY LASHES ARE COMING OUT WITH IT!" kekekke I haven't tried the eyelid one, since it's new to me, but once I do, I'll tell you how it goes kekekeke 

Cons: Just like any other glue, the brush turns dried quick after a few uses, and that sticky crumbs around the lid, which i hate! However, it's partial my fault too for not capped the lid. So lesson from me: ALWAYS CAP UR GLUE BOTTLE! ^^ 

That's all for today~ I'm in a hurry so next time it is~ and have a wonderful day everyone ^^ 

[MAKE-UPS] Trying out some Korean brands ^^

Dear blog~ 

Here I am again~ ^^ 

So today, I proudly present to you the make-ups that I bought a few months ago (I know I'm super late in updating and all T.T) Anyway~ now shall we get back to business? LOL *HUG* 

As you have known, after tried out Etude House, I have this obsession with Korean makeups. I love the vibrant their products give me whenever I apply them on, so enough said. LOL After tried out that brand, I moved to other brand and see what else I can add to my collection (definitely NO MISSA! It gave me nasty allergic reaction T.T) 

An overview of what I bought last time ^^ so red-base color, I know LOL 

THE FACE SHOP:  Lovely ME:EX BB Cream SPF 20 PA++

Pros: Just like any other BB cream, it gives the smoothness that fits my skin color (i'm not super pale guys, I still have that bronzeness in me LOL), it fades out most of the imperfection. If you apply it a bit thicker, it gives the "whiteness" that you girls asking for. So my recommendation: 1 layer for natural look, 2 layers for snow white skin look. LOL It's my favorite, because it doesn't give me the freaking allergic reaction that I hate! >.< and this just gives me the cutesy feeling whenever i put it on (ok now that is so out of line) 

Cons: It won't stay long. I always have to apply after makeup mineral to keep the makeups on. After wearing it for about 3-4 hours, you can feel the makeup is wearing off. I always have to have my urban decay De-Slick with me all the time, in case this wearing off. 

ETUDE HOUSE: Sweet Eye Cupcake (#03 Peach & Honey)

Pros: Natural color, giving this sweet innocent look. The peachy (pink part) blends well with my skin tone that it seems like I don't wear any eye shadow at all, yet still give my eyes the definition that I'm asking for.

Cons: since it gives that natural look, only wear it during day time. Night time would kill the purpose of this one. In order to be able for the color to be seen on pictures, you have to apply A LOT! Now that tells you how natural this will give you LOL. 

ETUDE HOUSE: Dear My Blooming Cheek: Highlighter + Brush (#PK001)

Pros: PERFECT! Light pink always goes well with my skin tone (after applying foundation of course). As always, this lives up to Etude House's sweet and romantic look. ^^ even with this "dark" palate, it still gives that light color. 

Cons: don't try to take pictures with it. You might feel like "I have NO BLUSH!" Unless you are doing a super awesome photoshoot, then yeah you will need to apply a WHOLE DAMN LOT for it to be seen. 

TONY MOLY: Cat Chu Wink Gloss (#07 Wonder Orange)

Have I told you that the main reason I bought this is because of the cat cap? LOL yea, that's the reason I ordered it. And then, peachy flavor comes into play and it's all perfect again.

Pros: PEACHY FLAVOR! The sweet scent of candy with a fruity scent makes your mind explodes with its sweetness. Too bad, you can't taste it T.T since it's a lipgloss. You all know what lip glosses do, give you that rosy gloss color, that seems like your lips are shining. Due to its peachy theme, the color is pale orange, quite matching my skin tone, giving this perfect complexion mixture between your lip lines and your skin tone. 

Cons: it dries up my lips quickly. Maybe because my lips are naturally dried, so after a few hours (I'll say 2), my lips start to chap up and it feels gross and nasty. I think it's just me or the weird weather California is sporting lately. >.<

That's it~ my next entry might be about another makeup patch LOL so looking forward to it? kekekek *HUG* have an awesome night (or day) everyone~
