some videos, nail polish storage, NOTD

Been really busy lately with the two intensive summer courses i'm taking =( But I've made a few videos... I'm really excited to work on the Beauty Club that I started at school though! ^-^ http://www.youtube.com/user/makeupluvz?feature=mhsn#p/u

New nail polish storage and NTOD

OPI Lucky lucky lavender with 3D rubber stickers I got 2 summers ago XD

Under my nail polish I put a non-slip rubbery mat to prevent them from falling all over the place :)

Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eye Liner [black ebony]

Sometimes when I don't wear eyeshadow or eyeliner, I still want to tightline my upper waterline so my lashes look more full. [filling in the gaps in between your lashes] I tried using MAC Gel liner but it would always smudge after a while. Finally I found this product that's made for tight-lining! Amazing product because it does NOT smudge! :D To me, the texture is definitely not suitable for using it as eyeliner because it's too..dry? Oh and this product has to be used with water, or it's sold along with a liquid transformer or something transformer... I didn't buy it because water works fine too.

To tight line your upper waterline, lift up your eyelid, use an eyeliner brush, wet it and pick up some LM tightline cake eye liner, dab and press it along your upper lash line. Filling the gaps in between your lashes will make them appear fuller.

You should not see a line along your upper lashes when you close your eyes. :)

Some Stuff from Seattle

Forever 21 in Seattle was 3 floors!! So huge I loved it! Accessories seemed to be cheaper than the ones in the Canadian forever 21, clothes were nicer too. I liked a lot of the clothes there but I didn't get them all XD

Bows + Pearl <3 love!

I always wanted this kind of earrings but they were always too heavy and I never saw a pair that I liked that much... These are perfect :D

Seattle Sephora has tax exemption for BC residents if you show your ID! SOO amazing :D The NARS Hungry Heart Duo is different from the NARS albatross in the way that the glitters are bigger and they look REALLY pretty on the cheekbones when the sun shines at it at the right angle =P Even though one side is white and the other side is pink, I don't apply enough of the product on my face to show the shade. I just dab my brush very light on the product because I don't want my cheeks looking too glittery. This was $40 USD but it's $10 more in Canada, plus USD was (is) lower than CAD! I gotta promise myself not to get anymore highlighters, I have more than enough now x_x But.. they all produce a different effect :D

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks - Cabo Coral 21 + Melliesh 05

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge "Cabo Coral" ($27 CAD)

Again, LOVING coral! This is such a convenient product because it can be used for the cheeks as well as lips. I apply it on the cheeks as a base color though and use a powder blush on top. For the lips I use my Shu Uemura lip brush to apply it and for the cheeks I use the Lise Watier concealer brush for application. In comparison to the MAC cremeblend blush, it is a lot creamier and that's why it's a lip product as well. This will be awesome for travelling :)

I got the Fiberwig mascara even though I mentioned in an earlier post that it drags down my lashes. It's because I got an electric eyelash curler now so I thought it would work well for curling the lashes upward rather than using a normal curler. This mascara claims to be a better formula but it actually doesn't really seem like it... After I use the electric curler, the result is not as good as I expected. The lashes kind of clump together and don't look as long as they should be...! Maybe I haven't grasped the right way to use it so I will keep trying XD

Upper swatch: Bobbi Brown Pot rouge
Lower swatch: Melliesh 05

Melliesh lipgloss 05

It's quite opaque but not as much as the MAC Kissable Lipcolor. It doesn't last as long as the MAC one either. I guess it's because the MAC kissable lipcolor is not supposed to be a lipgloss so the nature of the products are different. When I look at the two tubes it looks like the MAC one contains more product but actually they both contain 5g. I'd apply the Melliesh lipgloss on its own because it's opaque enough. However, I wouldn't purchase the product again because it is quite sticky like a normal lipgloss and its lasting power isn't that good. I would prefer MAC kissable lip color much more than Melliesh lipgloss, but too bad the kissable lip color line doesn't carry that many colors that I like.

Bobbi Brown Metallic Eye Shadow Black Cocoa & Java [$27 CAD each]

Left: Black Cocoa ; Right: Java

[w/o flash]

Top: Java; Bottom: Black Cocoa

[with flash]

I bought these at Murale in Oakrdige Centre for $27 each. They are both very pigmented and easy to blend. I love the bronze glitter in Black cocoa <3 There is barely any fall out too. Great for brown smokey eyes. I don't think I will ever finish the eyeshadow because it has 2.8g in it, but of course the price is not cheap either -_-" The packaging is exactly the same as the blush (both $27 CAD), the outter packaging is the same size but the blush contains 3.7g.

Eyes:

- Black Coca on lid

- Java on crease

- Orangy brown eyeshadow as blending color

- Instead of black eyeliner I used MAC pearlglide "Lord it Up"[brown with gold glitter] because the eyeshadow is pretty dark so I used a lighter eyeliner to tone down the look

Cheeks:

- Anna Sui #600

- Shu Uemura M Peach 44

Lips:

- MAC Shy Girl lipstick [light orange]

OPI Katy Perry Collection "Teenage Dream" & Konad :)

Right: Essie Candy Apple [ chipping already because I took the pic a few days after I applied it XD ]
