Pick Up A Trend : Red Nude

Hello dear beauty friends,

Moi, the LocoLola
Crinkle Shawl by Shreedha Fadhreen Collection

I have to admit, ever since I donned the hijab. I try my best not to wear over the top (OTT) makeup. In Islam, aurath (Aurat) is not only about covering parts of your body but also to up dress and carry yourself modestly. And OTT makeup is a big No-No in being modest. :)

Get this look:-

Face
Laura Mercier Foundation with SPF15
Estee Lauder Cyberwhite Loose Powder with SPF15

Eyes
MAC Expensive Pink - all over lid
MAC Woodwinked - Outer V-corner
MAC Satin Taupe - Inner V-corner
MAC Naked Lunch - beneath brows
Elianto Charocoal Black crayon eyeliner
Maybelline Brow Liner in Dark Brown

Cheeks
MAC Mineralise Blusher in Rhapsody 2 (my all time favourite blusher & highlighter)

Lips
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Fuschia (not in the picture. I only put it on when I was to about to go out)

I had to go a bit nude cause the outfit I was wearing for the day was quite intense. Especially the red & black shawl. Here's what I wore...

What's New: BB Cream Wonder

Yes dear, BB Cream a.k.a Blemish Balm Cream is the way to go this year.

What started of as a foundation for post-cosmetic surgery or laser treatment made popular by the Asians is now stampeding into the Western World.

BB Cream is no ordinary cream (duh!). What's great about it is that is a Wonder-cream that covers Sunscreen, Moisturiser, Pore-refiner (temporary) and foundation all in a tube.  Isn't it wonderful...?

It glides smoothly onto your skin and your face will appear, fairer, smoother and radiant in an instant! So it is no wonder that giant cosmetic companies are hopping onto the bandwagon.

Those days, the more popular BB Creams originated from Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong. Brands like BRTC, Missha, Dr Jart, Skin 79, Face Shop and Etude etc.

Nowdays, moveover Asian labels and let's welcome....



MAC PREP+PRIME BEAUTY BALM

What's New: Pastels & Pinks!

::MAC Quite Cute Collection::

 

This Spring, MAC goes cutesy by introducing their brand new line in all pastels and sweet. Colors like pastel pinks, purples, greens and creams are the current 'in' colors this season. In honour of everything cute, MAC took a step further by burning a lil' heart in the middle of its pastel-sweet mineralize blushers, awww~ !

Announcing the Opening of Sephora at Starhill Gallery, KL

Yes my darlings....Sephora is finally here!
Opposite Pavillion....ain't that wonderful!

Gone are the days we wait patiently for our precious parcels from United States
Gone are the days we participate in sprees and we crazily punch in numbers calculating the price after the exchange rate
Gone are the days we admire and envy beauty products from far cause it's not available in Malaysia and you dare not purchase it for fear of getting the wrong color cause you can't test the colors out! T_T

All hail....SEPHORA....

I received an email inviting me to their opening on the 28 April 2011 at 12.30pm.
Unfortunately, *sobs* I had this super duper important meeting scheduled at 12.00pm so I had to pass.
I did however, asked around if any of my friends will be heading to Sephora and sadly everyone was too busy....

However, finally I managed to pay a short visit last weekend so here's some pictures I took (yes, via my 'super' handphone :P)

Pickup A Trend : Simple Green + Purple

I did this look in salute to Mother Earth and ehem, also because this was one of the easiest eye-do yet still look hot for this Spring season....

:: Simple Green + Purple :: 

Green all over the lids and purple liner on the bottom lash line

I also dabbed a bit of light brown on the crease as the transition color and don't forget your highlighter beneath your brows

Product Review: Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil

Estee Lauder Spring 2011 Untamed Violet Collection

My take on the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil...

Good bye black eyeliner, goodbye liquid eyeliner...
Hello purple eyeliner!

Black is so boring this month so store off your jet black feline liners and embrace the world of color.
Because spring is all about fresh hues and color blocking.
