Current Beauty Favorites + 1 book!

Hey everyone! I just came back from my photography trip from Ipoh with nEbO+SIM students. The trip was awesome! I will be sharing some photographs over the next few days! :) In the meantime, I really want to share some of my current beauty favorites and a book which i have been enjoying:D

From the left: NYX soft matte lip cream, Clio kill brown eyeliner, Maquillage cream eyeshadow, Revlon photoready concealer, OPI Berlin been there done that
NYX Soft matte lip cream in San Paulo
I really dislike the sticky feeling on my lips when it comes to wearing lip products, hence i tend to stay away from lipgloss and lipsticks. Yet, matte lipsticks tend to be very drying on the lips and it will settle into the your lips which is super ugly after a couple of hours. This lip cream has a very unique formula and super pigmented on the lips. It does not feel drying on the lips and the colour wears quite well. This is very pretty raspberry colour and you can easily sheer it out for everyday wear. I really like the formula and texture of the lipstick. Hopefully i can find a peachy colour one!

I bought it for 12 bucks from the Smoochiezz Flea. :)

Clio Kill Brown Eyeliner (25 SGD at Watsons)
Hands down best eyeliner i have tried this year! The colour does not smudge  under my eyes and MOST eyeliners smudge under my eyes. I tend to go for japanese branded eyeliners as i think they do a better job at the smudge proof and waterproof department. When Clio was launched in SG, i was kind of skeptical as i do not have much luck with korean eye products. However, i was looking for a brown liquid liner and Clio just launched their new kill brown eyeliner. I decided to give it a go as my idol- Lee hyori endorsed it. Hurhur... much to my surprise, the liner stays incredibly well on the eyes and it is REALLY waterproof. I can go to the gym, workout and the eyeliner stays without smudging. But it comes of easily when i wash my face with a cleanser. Highly recommended! I really wanna try the marker black one which they are famous for!

Maquillage cream eyeshadow
Nuff said. Awesome cream eyeshadow! It is not drying like the MAC paint pots or the Maybelline Colour tattoos. It does not crease on the eyelid AND it's literally idiot proof! I usually just use the lighter colour on the 1st half of my eyelid and the darker colour on the 2nd half. It's perfect for everyday wear. The only bad thing is the price point. It's 40 bucks at major Shiseido counters which is super expensive in my opinion but well worth the price as i do use it everyday. Been eyeing at the other colours for awhile and I REALLY WANNA GET IT! :(

Revlon Photoready Concealer
I have been using this concealer for months. It lasts very long and not drying at all. I usually just dab it under my eyes and around my nose to conceal my dark circles and redness. Sometimes i wear it on its own without any foundation and it works really well on its own as well. It is a good multi purpose concealer if you're looking for a cheap concealer in the drugstore!:)

OPI Berlin there done that
Love love love this colour! The nudes are really in trend now, if you look at the recent DIOR naill collection for example. This is a taupe nude which looks very flattering on the nails, especially for my fair skin. It does not look muddy at all and I have been wearing it for several weeks now. Usually i don't repeat colours but for this colour, i painted my nails and proceeded to paint my toe nails as well. Well, cause i love the colour that much!:D


Last but not least, my favorite book at the moment! Ps. This is a VERY cheesy chick flick BUT I LIKE IT. :D The book is called Beautiful Disaster written by Jamie Macguire. 


Here's a short synopsis of the story extracted from goodreads.com
Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

Make-up Used

ZA True White liquid plus foundation
Laura Mercier mineral powder
Too faced natural palette
Heroine mascara/ liquid eyeliner
NARS doucer blush
Revlon Lipbutter- Tutti Fruiti (Current love!)

Realised my ZA liquid foundation doesn't photograph very well under flash. It's still a pretty decent foundation, I wouldn't recommend it to people with oily skin though. Ps. You will look like a shine bomb after 4-5 hours of wear. :o
