FOTD: Blonde's Gold + Skinfood Mushroom BB Cream + The Face Shop Lashes + MM Lash Expander Plus


Herrooo everyone! I finally feel 100% better now and am so excited that my Skinfood Mushroom BB cream arrived today! I got it in #2 and it matches my skin tone perfectly (I'm an NC 30), but I must say that I still like my Dr. G Gowoonsesang one better, I THINK. I'll give it a week or two to make my final decision but nothing covers like the Dr. G Hydra Intensive BB Cream I swear! I also got a belated birthday present from a good friend of mine :) She bought me a pair Face Shop falsies and a Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus! I LOVEEEE that mascara and I'm so glad that I now have a back up and don't have to order from Sasa.com and wait like 2 weeks for it to arrive! :) I did a pretty simple look today, just using the MAC Blonde's Gold pigment and some neutral colours! I hope you guys enjoy! :D

Sick... (Update + help? + wishlist)

Hey guys! I know I've been pretty MIA lately, but that's because uni has started and also I have been sick like a dog! :( The flu has been going around here like crazy and everyone that I know, minus my bf, who was the person who gave it to me I think, are sick! I was so scared I had swine flu because everyone was joking around telling me that! :P So I have totally just been chilling out at home, playing WoW... YES, I AM A NERD and I am not afraid to say it! :D My bf and I have been playing for a month now and it is very very addictive and I love it :P

I am flying off to Indonesia on the 23rd of August to go back to Jakarta and see some family on my week break so I will definitely be missing fr a week then :) I will also hopefully get some shopping done! Mostly Zara and MAC stuff.... I'm really excited to see whether the 'Love That Look' collection is out in Jakarta already or not :) But these are some things that I am lemming to get:
  • MAC Eyeshadow - Smokes & Diamonds
  • MAC Eyeshadow - Grand Entrance
  • MAC Eyeshadow - Strike A Pose
  • MAC Eyeshadow - Glamour Check
  • MAC Eyeshadow - Style Snob
  • ZARA shoes!!!!
  • ZARA EVERYTHING!! :D
  • MAC Lipgloss - C-Thru

I have also been looking around for a good medium-heavy coverage foundation because I'm not sure whether I'm in love with the Studio Fix Fluid... I do like it, but I feel like it's just not holy grail enough for me! So if anyone has any suggestions for an awesome medium-heavy coverage foundation, preferably with no SPF in it because it would be for nighttime and SPF + flash photography = FAILS in my book :D It would totally be greatly appreciated if someone can help! I've been wearing my BB cream everyday and I must say, it's kicked wearing foundation during the day's ass! I have now stopped using the MAC Select foundation and I will be giving it to my mom since I have ONLY been wearing the BB cream during the day. I've even nearly finished the tube! :P I have ordered another BB cream but it's a different brand, I've been hearing really good stuff about the Skinfood BB cream so I got the mushroom one! The one that I have now, the Dr. G one, is awesome for me though, so it will be hard to for the Skinfood one to top that! :D

I hope everyone is well and I hope someone can help me with my foundation crisis hehe :P

Fashionista 514 Contest - Designer Inspiration - Mine is... Roberto Cavalli

So I'm entering my first contest where I actually have to pull out a look thats inspired by a designer. I chose Roberto Cavalli cause his clothes are so beautiful, he makes a woman feel feminine with the right touch of sexy and I really admire him.

The photo that inspired me was from the Spring/Summer 2009 show:

Here is my rendition... I know it's a pretty easy look to pull out, but it did take me awhile to make sure each side was symetrical and seriously... what other looks can make a woman feel more sexy that a dark, smoldering eyes? :D


Hope you guys like it! :D
