My next post will be my item showcase of my Majolica Majorca beige eyeliner pencil!

RAWRS! Fr0nd/Jo wasn't joking when she said Capricon was blah.. And truly it was blah to the point of painfully blah. Geez Heather! I'm sure not all Capriconians are that blah right?!

I also adjusted my foundation a little with SN yellow color corrector.. It does seem to match me a little better.. I can't really tell coz I dusted date bait over it. Hur! =X

Anyways.. I bought this Revlon matte lipstick in Really Red some days ago.. It was in my handbag for some time until today. I decided to try it out.. I wasn't about to shell out big bucks for a MAC red lipstick.. To be honest, it is my first red lippie.. I'm not too sure how I would like it.

Hubs said all I need is a white dress.. a steaming sewer drain.. and a mole.. =X LOL! All I did was applied the lipstick and CS Sheer Crimson lip smacks over it. So is it a yes or no to the red lipstick?

We went out today yesterday (Saturday!) to look for a kids cafe... but we ended up going to Glenelg (a beach side town). LOL! However, I'm not here to talk about my day but to review on BRTC Jasmin Water BB cream!

To be fair, I must say this is my first try on BRTC's BB cream. I’ve tried a few brands of BB cream and I must say.. BRTC isn’t really on top of my list.

Look at the above photo, I applied it only for less than 30 minutes but look at my nose, it is so shiny! And my skin is a little on the dry side at the moment..

On the good side, it does provide adequate coverage and it’s texture feels next to nothing on my skin. However, I realised that it does make me look a little dull. This might be better for someone with a slightly darker skin tone..

It sort of is an in between Skinfood and Etude House. I prefer Etude House for the light weight texture and light coverage. While Skinfood, for the heavier coverage. BUT BB creams aren’t really my thing, so I can’t really give a fair review on it. I hope this helps.. =X

And here’s a close up of my eye make up, decided to use my TSS grab bag.. =D

My daughter once again chose my e/s colours.. And she picked green and purple.. The two colours were Sour Grapes and Dazzle Dance from TSS. My initial reaction was “eeps! what am i going to do with them!?” but goodness me, they are pretty together! And since I’m nice (only because I’m bored), I decided to show how I fake my small eyes big!

Apply Dazzle Dance on the lid.. Doesn’t have to be perfect.. Just a nice green base! (Nekkid face alert!)

Apply Sour Grape on your crease and slightly above and into your brown bone.

When you’re done, it should look like this.. It does look a little scary but no worries on it..

Now add in your highlighter.. And blend out the edges of the purple!

Start lining your eyes.. I do not line too close to my lashline simply because it does make my eyes look bigger if I left a slight gap.. It’s not very noticeable.

Voila.. All done! =D I added a flesh tone liner on the lower lashline and the inner corners of my eyes near the tear duct!

Decided to give my face rest yesterday and did an aspirin mask to tame the breakouts. I decided to use my SN blushes since they’re just sitting around.. And behold, I found my new favourite – Lady!

Sorry for the shiny nose.. It’s mid-day for me and my skin is feeling a little dehydrated at the moment. My new everyday lippie is my MAC Way to Love lipstick. It’s such a gorgeous subtle pink. *THANK YOU BFF*

I decided to jazz up my look a little today as I was wearing an all black outfit. However, it didn't turn out the way I would like it to be but I wasn't bothered to re-do it.

p.s. I'm using CS lip smacks in Sheer Crimson here!

My face is still breaking out a little.. But its less bumpy now with a good skincare routine. I’m still waiting for my sunblock to arrive.. I really do need a sunblock.. *Sigh* And also, I really need to cut down on the amount of Sze Chuan food I’ve been eating.. LOL!~ It has crazy amounts of chili and chili oil in it. Eeps~

We went to Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf (a small German town in SA) today to celebrate Mother’s day. It was a pretty good Mother’s day.. Well, I shall end this post with a photo of me and my girl.. I’m not too bothered now to blog about my hauls. *Looks apologetic*

Another grey look for today! I tend to wear a lot of grey and blacks.. So my looks are starting to look alike. LOL~

We went to the park near our apartment.. It was a beautiful day out.. My DD loved it there.. So did we.. We sat by the pond and watch mandarin ducks swim about..

I badly need a contour blush! My face look really flat and… FAT! I’ve been trying out the lip smacks.. LOVE them! What an awesome alternative to MAC lipglass. They’re pigmented and stay quite well (as well as lipgloss could).

Initially, I wanted to pair my look with Flippin Hot.. but I think you could guess why I swapped it for Pep Pink instead! LOL~ 

p.s. It’s actually way more intense than this!

p.p.s. This was yesterday.. I'm trying to catch up with my vox blogging!

I decided to do a “safe” look today.. I wasn’t too sure what I was going to put on.. So I decided to go with my Burberry scarf..

Here's the first photo I taken.. Then the close up..

I realised I didn't draw my brows in the previous photos and went back to get it done.. However, Hubs decided to horse around. FINALLY, one good photo! Yay!

I shall get started with my TSS sample baggies.. *Sigh* It's kinda daunting to be honest.. I redid this look trice before feeling happy with this.. And even so, I wasn’t too happy with this!

p.s. the L'Occitane counter girl at David Jones loved my look though. LOL! It's nice to get complements especially on a crappy day. I fell down and sprain my ankle.. It's kinda swollen now and hurts when I position it to walk.
