Heading to the Pestle & Mortar party, and in dire need of a change in the way I look. I love costumes and makeup/accessories is the easiest way to transform an entire look.

Was feeling very baby gangsta that night, so makeup was inspired by that; 11392773_10152938936912058_9083237354017851643_n

Christmas came early this year, thanks to Makeup Revolution Malaysia!2Makeup Revolution was first launched in London & ever since, everyone has been raving about how good these products were, especially for the wallet-friendly prices! I was completely ecstatic when they finally brought it to Malaysia!

The best part (and definitely my favourite part) it’s animal cruelty free! A brand that focuses on catering to the mass public in terms of colours they provide as well as not harming our furry friends, is definitely one that tops my list.

More than just those aspects, hello super cute packaging! I got the Parental Advisory explicit palette that has a flashing logo & changes design when moved;IMG_20141206_220348IMG_20141206_220601

Top off the creative packaging with incredibly pigmented eyeshadow that consists of naked shades as well as some darker coloured tones to allow some flirty colour play;IMG_20141206_220255IMG_20141206_220204I love ‘naked’ tones because they don’t look overdone against my skintone. Perfect for daily use and when I want a more natural, clean look. However, don’t underestimate these neutral tones, though understated, it creates a huge impact when you learn to play with colours. Create bigger eyes, higher brow bone, even deep set eyes; all with some minor eyeshadow tricks.

I played with nude tones as well as some shimmer and a little dash of black to create a smokey eye look;  IMG_20141208_174731IMG_20141208_164304

I also mixed their Bliss lipstick (a pretty, vivid coral nude tone) with my skin-coloured nude lipstick for this gorgeous lip colour. Definitely give their lip colours a try. High pigments & at RM8 onwards.

I also highlighted under my brow, and cheekbones with their Vivid Baked Highlighter. The colour is too light for my daily wear, but perfect when I want to glam out; IMG_20141206_220451

Back to the Explicit palette. It allows you to play it safe, but also get your sexy on. Here’s what a little silver and black smokey eye blending action can create; 1IMG_20141206_235827My verdict of the product: Fantastic! Long lasting, high pigment, easy to blend & at a price that allows me to buy more makeup!

But the question is;

My newest makeup addiction is lipsticks. I go through several phases in makeup and have a particular favourite item I absolute must have at that point of time, and at this time, it’s lipsticks. Specifically the ones from NYX Cosmetics.

They have several ranges, but I’ve fallen in love with the NYX Matte Lipsticks as they are highly pigmented (which is perfect for people with darker lips like me!) and long-lasting as well.

Reasons I love this brand include the fact that their products are anti animal cruelty hence not tested on animals (please check before purchasing makeup, some brands still do animal testing which is completely avoidable 😦 ). Another reason is the price range; it’s at a reasonable pricing that allows even college students to purchase it. Quality at an affordable price, I’m sold!

Here are a few lipsticks I managed to grabs;

IMG_20131127_184307

This shade is called Indie Flick. It’s a tomato red colour with tints of orange. It’s vibrant and looks great against my dark skin. Most people believe (and it’s a false one) that dark skinned girls can’t wear bright, vibrant colours. I’d like to prove them wrong & this colour does just that 🙂

Here are a few more colours that I got, that I absolutely love against my dark skintone;
PhotoGrid_13855642790991. Audrey – It’s a light shade of pink with a nude tint that can be worn daily and easy to match.

2. Perfect Red – One of the rare bright red lipsticks that look great on fair skin as well as dark skin.

3. Sweet Pink – Probably my favourite Barbie shade of pink lipstick I own. It’s bright colour is not too intense, and subtle which makes it perfect.

4. Tea Rose – A soft pink shade, with a really sweet tone.

My suggestion is, try the testers before making a purchase & try as many colours as you’d like. Make sure you have minimal make up, or nude tones to ensure you know what colours work against your skintone. I usually wipe off all my makeup when testing colours, just to be extra sure 🙂

These lipsticks are sold at Sephora for RM26 each. Again, such a steal! Besides their lipsticks, I also use their concealer, and powder (that provides darker shades for dark skinned people like me, another plus point!) & their brow kit.

The great news is, if you’re already a Sephora member, there’s a 20% sale going on from today to the 30th of November. Check your email/sms! 🙂 ;
1& on makeup related note, Inglot will be having a sale as well;
