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...

Product Review: Dove Intense Repair Overnight Cream

I did a little experiment with my hair earlier. To see what happens when you stinge and try to color your hair on your own. This is after your previous hair color crawled down to your ear-level and you look like Cruealla De Vil's sister, the half blonde half brunetter sister.

I have very fine and limp hair and to actually go to a proper hair saloon and color my hair was a complete waste of money for me. Why? Because my hair is too little (sangat miskin) and fine and I'd only end up using 1/3 of the hair color, BUT pay for it in FULL. (that's the Accountant part of me talking, heh)

So, I cheated and bought Revlon's Hair Dye, Ammonia-free in Golden Brown from the nearest drugstore.

The result...

Frizzy, uneven carrot top for hair. And what makes it worst is that my hair is now coarse like a broom. Right after coloring it, I can barely comb my hair right. Heck, I can't even run my fingers through my hair without my fingers getting stuck in between it!

Yes, pretty stupid of me. But, this is all for the sake of an experiment (gone wrong!). I know, I'm in denial...so sue me!

What did I do next?
Well, nothing. I couldn't cause I had to fly off the next day. S**t!

Once landed safely, the first thing I hunt for is a conditioner. But luckily, while frantically searching for a good conditioner, I bumped into this....

Well, hello there...would you be my friend???

Pickup A Trend: Purple Drama

Life is a drama, so act it up!
Here's a look I did when I feel dramatic...hehe
Since I FINALLY bought my camera charger, here's some pictures I took using a 'proper' camera...

What's New: Pastels & Pinks!

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~ !

Pickup A Trend: Lady In Red

I'm sure by now you would've noticed how bright colors takes center stage this spring.
Secretly, I have been a huge fan of bright and bold colors; thanks to mum who truly believes that the Flower Power sensation will make a big come back soon. And I am all excited to experiment and play around bright, loud colors not only to my outfit but also my makeup.

Think Block colors, adorn clashing flourescent playful colors and dare yourslef to wear those vivid colors you've secretly stashed.

Electric blue, Shocking Pink, Sunny Yellow, Glaring Orange, Furious Magenta and Chilli Red.
So, this is the season to get loud and expressive....

My Makeup Haul of the Week 110311

My haul of the week.....

Since time is very limited to me these days...I don't have much time to browse for goodies like I used to couple of weeks back. However, here's some stuff I managed to grab today at Watsons during my lunch break (the only time I'm free T_T) except for my MAC Opulash.

1) M.A.C Wonder Woman Collection Opulash in Army of Amazons

Retail Price: RM65.00

Got it for: RM65.00

What is: Green mascara that thickens and lengthens. Two coats should do the trick. Oh, look at the rich green color...heart it!

Remember to swatch the colors onto your skin to determine which red suits you most.
For me, I prefer a blue based red lipstick to compliment my skin (left most).
Yellow based red lipstick is not my color (center).
