Myer Master Class with Michelle Phan

Hi guys!


So last night me and Olivia went to the Myer Master Class featuring Michelle Phan. If you don't know who she is, then you are missing out! She is one of the most influential Make-up artists discovered online through Youtube. She is also the spokesperson for Lancome and has quite a few companies under her name. So if you haven't already, check her out on Youtube!


The tickets were $50 and can be redeemed when you buy a Lancome product worth $50.

Michelle!!

The super long line to get a photo with Michelle

Although I knew that Michelle was petite, seeing her in real life really suprised me! Even with super high heels, she was still really short, but otherwise very pretty indeed. Me and Olivia talked to her for like one minute but we could tell she was really nice and genuine. Even with so many pictures taken, she still had a smile on her face and was full of energy!

One thing that disappointed me was that she was on stage for about 15 minutes. I was expecting it more to be like a talk show with her actually putting make-up on the models, but instead it was just her talking. But other than that it was a great experience!

If you guys get the opportunity to see her, I definitely recommend you guys to go and see her. She is such an inspiration and very genuine with her gratitude towards her fans.

See you soon! ^_^

Nails of the week

Hi guys!


In my last Nails of the week post, I mentioned I was wearing Nature Republic's polish in BL502. After wearing it for a few days, I've come to realise HOW BAD THE FORMULA IS!! Although the colour is really pretty, the wear of the polish has been the worst I've experienced. I saw a chip within 24 hours and by the 3rd day, pretty much every nail had a huge chip on it. Even with top coat, it didn't last very long at all.


Rating: 1/5


If you're the type of person that can't even stand one tiny chip, then this is NOT the polish for you. But if you're willing to put up with the chipping then try it out. 


This weeks polish

OPI polish in Black Cherry Chutney

I've worn this quite a few times, and this definitely has to be one of my favourite colours. It's a dark purple (almost black looking) with red/purple shimmers. It looks super pretty in sunlight and is a great alternative to a black polish. 

Will review the wear of this in next weeks post, so keep a look out for that. See you soon! ^_^

Current obsession: Sheet masks

Hi guys!

This post was requested by Olivia, she has been nagging me every time I see her. If you haven't checked out her blog yet, here it is: http://oliviiaaaaa.blogspot.com.au/

When I first got into skincare/ makeup I was really interested with different sheet masks and their different purposes were. These days I use them for mainly hydration purposes since I have really dry skin. I would use one of these 2-4 times a week depending on how my skin is, after I exfoliate.

My Beauty Diary Face Masks in Black Pearl

 (recently bought so I haven't had time to fully test this out yet)

Aquamoist Moisture Face Masks (mention in one of my previous hauls)

The Face Shop

Innisfree

Tony Moly

Missha

Some random sheet mask I got from my hotel room while I was in South Korea, 

Etude House Red Ginseng mask

My favourite out of the bunch. I haven't used this but it's the package I love.

If you're a KPOP fan then you will know who these guys are. They're my favourite KPOP group OF ALL TIME

Some samples I got while in South Korea. I was so surprised as to how generous people are when it comes to samples. I would purchase one item and get like 3 free samples. Gotta love it!

Most of these sheet masks are either my first or second purchase and although they claim to have different targeted treatments, I use them for hydration purposes, but ones that I have found work for me are: Aquamoist Moisture Face Masks, The Face Shop Hyaluronic Acid Mask and The Face Shop Aloe Mask (not shown).

Of course there has been a small number of masks that have broken me out: The Face Shop Rice mask, and there are some other ones from The Face Shop but I can't remember the names of them.

Overall I think sheet masks are great for hydrating the skin, and they can be used before applying makeup so that your skin is smoother and more fresh looking. Because you can't really get a tester sample of sheet masks, you have to take the risk of trying them not knowing if they break you out or not. Read different reviews to see which ones will most likely work for you. 

See you all soon! ^_^

Nails of the week

Hi guys!


Last week I posted about the nail polish I wore for the week, so I'm here to talk about how it wore and my new polish I have on. 


The formula of the previous polish (The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX in PK109) wasn't too bad. I saw a tiny chip on the third day on the corner of my nail, and got obvious chipping on the 6th day. I used Cutex Long Wear Top Coat on top of the polish and it seems to have made the polish last a bit longer than without it. Love the colour and the formula of this isn't too bad, and considering it to be pretty cheap I recommend this polish for those that want a pretty pink colour.


This weeks polish:

Nature Republic polish in BL502

This colour is a deep blue with super small shimmers in it which makes the polish metallic looking.  It's super easy to apply and you can get away with only one coat! I used two coats and its pretty true to the colour from the bottle. It dries alot faster than the polish from The Face Shop.


Keep a lookout next week for the final verdict on this polish! See you soon ^_^

What's in my bag?

Hi guys!

I thought I would share what I have in my bag. Honestly I don't have alot of things that I need in my bag, and  I don't use a makeup bag just because I'm really lazy when it comes to touching up my makeup. So here it is!

Samsung MV800 camera.

I love this camera! Although I rarely use it, I bring it everywhere with me.

Top to bottom: Nivea Hydro Care Lip Balm, The Body Shop Born Lippy in Plum

I always carry some sort of lip balm with me because my lips can get dry really easily and some times my lips can feel swollen after eating (not sure why). My favourite lip balm as of now is the one from The Body Shop. Will do a full review later on this week. The Nivea one is ok, not going to repurchase it though.

Left to right: some random Korean hard lollies, Eclipse Mints

I'm definitely a mint girl. I rarely have gum because some can give me a weird after taste and I feel like the minty-ness of mints last longer ( and you never know when you're going to have bad breath). And I always keep something sweet in my bag.

This is just a sample container of the Lancome Hydra Zen cream. I used all of the product so now I just keep my Cetaphil Moisturiser in it for times where I feel like I'm getting dry patches on my face.

I don't wear contacts so I always bring my glasses with me where ever I go. These are from Ray-Ban and I've had them for years! They are the basic black frames, nothing special really.

 This my wallet that I have. It's from Oroton, which I got for my 17th birthday from my parents. Love this wallet! It keeps all of my cards and can carry lots of coins (which tends to happen to me).


And that's it! I know it isn't much but sometimes I feel like there really isn't a need to carry so much things in your bag. One main reason why I carry so little things is that my shoulders are pretty weak, so if I have a heavy bag with me, my shoulders are aching the next day so I try to keep my bag as light as possible.


See you soon! ^_^
