Naked Palette

I'm forking that money to get it... I've waited 7 months already... do not want to wait any longer!!
Sooooo excited to get my UB Naked palette!!



Update: The Naked Palette was available at the Millcreek Mall's Sephora (located inside JC Penney) so I got myself another one... :) I really love the neutral colours in this palette. It makes a wide range of looks from natural to sultry smokey. I use mainly the matte colours during work days but would line my lower lashes with a glittery/shimmery colour like 'Darkhorse.' I find that it gives my eyes a more softer look which I love! 'Creep' and 'Gunmetal' are also excellent liner colours.

I wear 'Virgin,' 'Naked' and 'Buck' on a daily basis. I don't like to wear too much makeup when I go to work, so these matte colours are great for very natural + awake eye looks. To complete the look I tend line my lower lashes with a shimmery colour (ie. 'Darkhorse.')

I <3 this palette =) Actually I really <3 Half Baked, but the singles are always sold out at the Sephora near me, so having this palette is good... ^_^

Liquid liner!

Review: Cover Girl - LineExact Liquid Eyeliner

I finally got the courage and moved onto liquid eyeliners! The pencil eyeliners that I've used smudges within 30 minutes of application due to the oily skin around my eyes. *sigh* the raccoon!! It took me forever to find the right mascara, so imgaine how glad I am to find the perfect liner! Thanks to Ronnie who recommended the CoverGirl LineExact Liquid Eyeliner!

I got it in 3 different colours, Very Black, Black Brown and Smoke. I wear 'Black Brown' on a daily bassis because I find it very easy to apply on and surprisingly natural which is perfect for work and everyday on the go wear. Whereas the 'Very Black' comes out much more dramatic more suited for evenings. The 'Smoke' colour actually didn't really show up on much, so I don't think I would be wearing the colour much, at least not on it's own.

Sephora jacks up price for UD naked palette

I got an email to notify me that the popular UD Naked palette was available. I was ecstatic .. that was until I went to pay... The price for the palette changed from $53CAD (before logging in) to $58CAD (after logging in)... Now if I didn't look carefully at my order I would have just paid it! It's not that much of a price increase but it is a matter of principle... How many other people has Sephora ripped off?? I am not impressed... I guess I will have to wait till its available at the store.... Ughh... such a disappointment.

Splurge: Dior e/s pallette

I got my email for 15$ off @ Sephora last week so I was determined to spend this on something I wouldn't buy at a regular price... but this time... I think I REALLY spoiled myself... :)

After much time going from eyeshadow set to another... I finally picked up the Dior Couture Colour Eyeshadow Palette in "Sunset café"! I have yet to try it out... but I'm really liking the colours I tried!! Maybe I'l wear it tomorrow at our usual meet! Let's see if primer is required :)

2 e.l.f. hauls in a row!!

:D So glad that I got the first haul the week of Halloween because it helped me create my Halloween look for work!

The first and most exiciting thing was that I got the 100 piece eyeshadow palette from E.L.F.!! Yay!! I got to use some of the shades, such as two different shades of light blue to create the ghostly blueish face of the corpse's bride! Plus the indigo blue and a darker shade of blue to get my eyes and cheekbone the right definition. Although I noticed quite a bit of fallout while using the shadows, I find it is still a decent palette to have (especially at such a good price!!)

I tried the clarifying pressed powder in rosy beige and it seems to match my complexion. It did not cause me to breakout which is so good. Though there is little product, so I will be using it sparsingly (cuz i'm just that wierd... haha)

I got two blushes, one in Glow, from the regular line and 1 in Candid Coral from the studio line. I like both colours because they look very natural on my complexion.

I don't normally use lipsticks because 1) I usually eat them before I get to really wear them and 2) my boyfriend wants to kiss me but not eat my lipstick.... Anyhow... I still end up getting one out of curiousity. I got the "Seductive" lipstick from the regular e.l.f. line and really liked the colour. It is close to my natural lip colour but gives it a more 3D look to it, as well as a more healthy colouring...


I just got this on Nov 2nd, so no comments on the products yet. Though I did use the eyelid primer stick and the purple eyeshadow from the makeup set and was quite happy with it :) Another thing.. the eyeliner from the regular line was awesome! it goes on so smoothly :) really really liked it :) Yeps... really went all out last month... must avoid e.l.f. website... I'm tooo addicted!! haha...
