Foundation [Part 2] Choosing the right Color

My long overdue entry on Foundation...

In my previous entry, I have explained the many types of Foundation that suit different type of skin. So, did you give a try and found the perfect type of foundation for your skin?

Now, moving on...as promised, let's talk about Choosing the Right color for you.

******

Firstly, let's do a quick test.

No, I'm Not Sorry; I have the PERFECT excuse

The EXCUSE:

I recently bought a condo in Mt Kiara, moved in and busy decorating, re-decorating and adjusting to new life

....A lover, A career lady, A Mother (to my cats and my latest new baby Tiger), A Cook (Yes, I can cook quite well), An Interior Designer and Maintainence...

I say, that's a handful of job! *Sigh*

And lately, since it is the Wedding season, I've been overwhelmed with endless orders for my 'Sinfully Sweet Jelly Fruits'. And it takes me 3 days to complete 1 plate of fruits!!! At one point, I was carving nearly 100 pieces of fruits.

However, regardless of my new busy schedule...I'm proud to say that not a single day went by that I left home without any makeup. :) I love my makeup that I make sure I allocate some time to enjoy painting my face pretty.

All in all, I'm loving this new episode in my life <3

Till then, good luck & stay flawless...

Review: Vichy Total Pore Resurfacing Essence

Yeap, I heard a lot of rave on this cream too. So, being me who just want to get her hands on things people rave about - I bought it. For your information, I have slightly enlarged pores on my nose and cheeks as well as my forehead. And I desperetely need to drecrease my pore size pronto or else I'll end up with loads and loads of blackheads and white heads.

This is NOT me. But my pores look something like this. Open for all to see! *sigh*

But till recently, I never gave much thought on getting a pore-refining cream. All this while I thought simple swipe of cold-ice cube on my face would do the trick. But due to the constant extreme tempreature changes I experience - super hot one minute outdoor and super cold like winterland in the office, has done much....

Review: Egyptian Magic

As promised, here's my take on the Egyptian Magic Cream (EMC) I bought before Raya. For your information, EMC received many compliments and was raved about amongst US celebrity as THE multi-purpose healing balm for your skin. In short, it can moisturise, rejuvenate and heal skin with its all natural ingredients.

"Egyptian Magic probably has garnered more kudos in the fashion press than any comparable product in the world. From Japan to Australia to Europe and the US, the Fashion Press agrees that Egyptian Magic is a "must-have" beauty and skin care product. It improves your.....

Introduction to Makeup Foundation [Part 1 of 3]

Why do you need to use foundation?

To cover flaws, to even out skin tone, to brighten your complexion and provide a dewy look

No if you are gifted with flawless, luminiscent skin. So, show it off already~!

M.A.C 187 Duo Fiber finally Mine!

Would like to shout out to my dear new-found-makeup-loving-blog-friend (tu dia punya panjang title), Ms. Nuri for the superb M.A.C 187 Brush which I'm so loving it. Thanks dear friend and it was a pleasure to meet you face to face. Although for a very brief moment, due to my 'semangat' nak beraya -_-, still it feels good to make new friends with my fellow bloggers. Nice meeting you, dear ;)

About my infatuation with M.A.C 187...

I have been happily using my pony brushes from SaSa for the past 2 years. However, recently my foundation brush gave up on me. So, goodbye old brush and hello! new M.A.C 187. Gile teruk perangai, habis madu sepah dibuang tanpa teragak-agak. Haha, hati kering. ^_^

I secretly wish to slowly transform my brush set into M.A.C brushes but in due time my dear, in due time...

M.A.C 187 is a superb blending/stippling tool for liquid foundation application. The dense duo Fibre texture provides a perfect sheer finish. It is also great for patting powder on your face by lightly stippling ......
