Neutral Smokey Eyes ft. Maybelline Eye Studio Eye Shadow Palette

Hello again there blogging world! :) Man it sucks knowing after I come back from vacation it's back to reality I go :'( but I guess that means I'll be earning more money so I can go on more trips and explore the world :D Anyways.. there is no doubt that I have a love for doing neutral smokey eyes on my blog and I'm not sure why, I guess it's because it's the easiest thing to do but don't worry I will try my best to experiment with colors and share my experience with you guys :) So without further a do let's get started! 

Okay I'm not too sure why my skin is looking all dry and gross in this photo.. I do apologize for that >___< 

And yes I do have a little pimple on my chin for those who are wondering :( 

With Flash! 

An Up Close! I don't know how to take a good eye picture so if you guys have any pointers let me know :)

- What can I say about the star which is the Maybelline Eye Shadow Palette.. Hhmm I would probably say that it's a A+ in my books and that's all that I'm going to say because coming up soon I'm going to be doing a drugstore eye shadow palette series and this will be included in it so definitely stay tuned for that :) 

- It's only been half a month since I used my Majolica Majorca mascara and I believe that I'm in love with it!! This is the mascara for all my Asian girls that want to have their eyelashes shine through for once :D and of course I will be doing a review on it soon as well 

Well that's all that I have to share! I hope you guys enjoyed this and I will talk to you guys later :) 

This was my favorite out of the bunch of photos I took :) 

" Shop & Drop " On My Eyes!

Hello Everyone!! Did you guys miss me?! :D LOL anyways I still can't believe that I'm going to Hong Kong in a week plus a couple days!! I still haven't gotten my packing done yet, and I'm sure that I'm going to be a last minute packer which isn't a very good thing cause I want to bring everything I need and not have to panic if I do forget something! Haha anyways enough of my rambling and let me get started on a makeup look I did using a MAC quad ;) 

You can't really see the colors :( 

Still can't see the colors.. -________- 

BAM! Now you can see the colors!! :D 

Closer view! :) 

The Items I Used! 

MAC Eyeshadow Quad in Shop&Drop || Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation || Clear FX Prep Foundation Primer || Maybelline Dream Matte Powder || Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer || Bobbi Brown Corrector || Physician Formula Eye Booster Liquid Eyeliner || UDPP || MAC Blush in Love Cloud || Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl Highlighter || Maybelline One By One Mascara || Rimmel Lip Liner in East End Snob || Loreal Color Riche Balm in Rose Elixir 

How I used the eyeshadows! 

Hypnotizing ( all over the lid ) , Power Boosted ( in the crease area ), Shop & Drop ( in the outer corner of the eyes ), Sugar Snack ( in the brow bone area )

TIDBIT TIME! 

- This may come to a shock but believe or not this is my first MAC eyeshadow quad that I own! In the past there would be some quads that I want but I never really went out and got them because I thought they were expensive ( stupid me -___- ) and of course the reviews that I've heard online but when I saw this one on Temptalia, I knew that I had to get my hands on it and just to make sure I asked my girl at MAC if I should get it and she said " heck yeah! " lol 

- I recently got the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation because I was hearing great things about this foundation and that it's better then the original formula, now I have never really tried anything from Lancome so I'm hoping that this will be a A+ in my books but my first impression of it is not that good. The day after I wore this foundation, my whole face was super dry and flaky and I tried using moisturizer to help calm it down but it didn't!! I'm not sure if it's this product that is doing that to me or was it a different product, so stay tuned if you want my review on it! 

-Just notice that almost everything that I have used for this eye look is brand new and that I haven't shown it in a haul post.. Opps! Hope you guys don't mind, don't want to have too much haul posts or else you guys are gonna want to shop ;) 

LITTLE REVIEW! 

For this being my first MAC eyeshadow quad, I'm very impress with it! :) The only complaint I have is that there's one color that is kinda useless to me ( the light pink one, the first one on the first row ) just because the pigmentation of it isn't that great and it doesn't show up well on my skintone -___- but besides that it is a great MAC quad and it definitely won't be my last ;) 

First Row: Sugar Snack ( Matte ) , Hypnotizing ( Frost ) 

Second Row: Power Boosted ( Veluxe Pearl ) , Shop & Drop ( Satin )

So I hope you guys enjoyed this little makeup look that I did and leave me in the comments if you would buy this eyeshadow quad or if you own a MAC quad, what colors are in the quad? :) Thanks again for reading and commenting! :) 

Seeing A Little Teal

Hello hello everyone! So I know I have been doing alot of haul posts and what not so I thought I would change it up for a bit and do a eye look post for today! Doesn't that sound like fun? :D Haha! Anyways so I was looking through my collection and I saw this one eyeshadow that was still in it's original packaging ( signs of having a problem.. LOL! ) and I thought " Hey! Why don't I do a makeup look with this " so I grabbed my MAC eyeshadow palette and started playing around and this was the look I came up with! I will say that this would a little bit out of my comfort zone but it was fun to do :D so I hope you guys enjoy it!

Haha well I hope it was good :) So I know that there are a few products in here that I didn't show in a haul post before but I will be doing reviews on them after I have tried them for a little bit longer so please bare with me :) But anywho! I hope that you guys are enjoying your week and the weekend is almost here :D Party time! 

My Wish List As Of Right Now!

Hello my lovely bloggie friends! : ) I know I'm like blogging at random times but it's just that things are happening right now that I need to focus on so I hope you guys will understand. But anywho I thought this post would be a fun one and just share what items I have been eyeing on for the shortest/longest time :) So let's get started!



1) Dior Blushes

I have been eyeing Dior blushes for the longest time but I don't know why I never went and got any. I've read some blogs and seen the swatches and I have fell in love :) The colors that I have been eyeing is English Rose and Pink In Love but I'm sure that I'll be looking at all of the colors hehe! This is probably an item I will be getting next time I go to the counter.



2) Bobbi Brown Color Corrector

I've heard so many reviews on this little product and now I'm wanting to try it and see what's all the fuss is about. I've used so many concealers in the past couple years and I haven't found my holy grail yet, and I would like to cover up the dark circles I have under my eyes .. ( too much time spent on the laptop and late nights.. lol )



3) MAC Mattene Lipstick

I've just seen these on Temptalia the other day and I knew I would love them because it's matte finish and I've been looking for a matte lipstick that won't dry out my lips to the max so hopefully these will be my favorite.



4) Stila Natural Eyeshadow Palette

I haven't tried much Stila products expect for their famous lip glaze, so when I saw this I thought it was a good one to try out their eyeshadows. It looks like it could be a dupe for the infamous Urban Decay Naked Palette but a couple eyeshadows less and of course a lower price.




5) Too Faced Beautiful Dreamer Makeup Collection

Every time I go into Sephora during the christmas time and I see Too Faced has their " value package " for their collection, I'm always hesitate to get it and then when I go back to get it, it's all sold out! So this year that will not happen! And plus it's a good way to try out many products from them :) and they have such cute and girly packaging just like Benefit.



6) YSL Makeup

I'm sure that this brand is sold where I live but I just can't seem to find it :( I've seen so many reviews and FOTD's on this brand for the longest time and it seems like a really nice high end brand to venture into. I know I really want to try out their lipsticks, lipglosses and blushes hehe



7) Coach's Chelsea Leather Ashlyn Hobo

I've been looking for a decent sized handbag for the longest time and I think I have found the one I want :) and the handbag I have at the moment is falling apart so I desperately need one haha so what do you guys think?

Well this is my list of the things I've been wanting for quite some time! What are some products you've been eyeing on? :)

A Blush A Day: Day 7 ft. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Nectar

It's only been 4 days since my last blog post so I think I'm doing pretty good right? :) And yes I'm bringing back my ABAD Project back and I know I have been slacking on this one for a while but I'm going to try and keep it up now! I probably won't post it each day but maybe every so often until I reach the 30 blushes HAHA It still counts right? :) Yeah I'm just making up excuses.. anywho let's get on with the blush!

The First 4 Swatches Are The Strips By Its Self From Top To Bottom; Last Swatch Is All Of Them Together

My Mini Review!

Intensity: The pigmentation is really good and it also goes on the skin smoothly. You can use the strips individually or all together so you'll get different shades of peachy pink, I also heard that you can use these are eyeshadow... Now I personally haven't tried that and I don't plan on it but I think the other colors of shimmer brick compacts might work better for that usage.

Finish: Shimmery ( Haha hence why it's called Shimmer Brick Compact xD )

Value: $49.oo CAN

Repurchase: Probably not because I haven't even hit pan on this one but sometimes when I use it, I find it to be a little bit too shimmery for my taste so I would probably use a matte or cream blush first and then layer this on for a nice glow. And price is also a factor in why I wouldn't repurchase it.

Lasting Power: 6 to 8 hours

Overall Thoughts: This product is something that's nice to have but it's not really a must have to be in your makeup collection.
