Current Loves

I thought I'd share with you all the makeup products that I have been loving. I'm going to start with the make up base first. 

  • Chanel Vitalumiere loose powder foundation. In my opinion this foundation has got to be the best foundation Chanel has ever created for my skin. I have tried numerous of their makeup base, and I end up throwing it away or giving it away because I just didn't like it. This foundation gives me that Chanel look that you would see on Chanel advertisements. It leaves me looking flawless. The powder itself is finely milled and the brush, don't get me started on this. It is uber soft! I actually got another 1 for my sister's birthday. She tried it and she loved it.  This costed $98 if I am not mistaken. It is a high price tag but do try it out in the store. 
  • Deoproce UV waterful cushion. This is 1 of the cushion foundations that I recently bought. I have not tried the other one, which is by The FaceShop. This foundation truly brightens my skin. It is very lightweight. Surprisingly it did not leave my skin oily after hours spent outside. I bought this foundation at A'HA store. I'm pretty sure it costed around $20-$30. When I feel like I want to look like them Korean girls, this is what I use! LOL
  • Dior Star fluid foundation and concealer. This has got to be the best liquid foundation and concealer I have used thus far in the higher brand department. $77 for the liquid foundation, $55 for the concealer and $20-$30 for the sponge. Pretty hefty price tag I know but it is so worth it! I love this foundation by Dior. It is lightweight and it gives me a flawless base. I have been using this on a daily basis. It also lasts for quite a long time. You just have to try it!

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. ~ Proverbs 3:5 

I am someone who gets anxious super easily. I am someone whom you call a worry wort. I cannot control it. When I get super anxious or worried, my body would tremble badly. I would push people away, and that includes Ryan. Sometimes my action affects my loved ones and that is due to my anxiety. I will admit that I live in fear. Being a Christian, it has been advised that you do not live in fear because God is with you. I have been baptised, but I still struggle with this problem.

Lately I have been super anxious. I'd like to think it's wedding anxiety, when you realise you will get married and how everything won't be the same after you're married. Being the youngest, I have my parents to protect and love me. I am basically a princess. I was super excited to get married. Wedding planning sounded so fun and all, but about 3 months ago, these happy thoughts just eroded away. I got super anxious about it. I would be super stressed out and would have stupid thoughts in my head. Marriage is a scary thought!

Sometimes I end up crying because I don't know what else to do. My emotions just cannot be controlled and I am not someone who easily speaks out my mind. I do hope that my anxiety can somehow be resolved or "treated". I don't want to be living in fear no more. When you worry so much, you are not living a life. I just wish that all of you don't have to go through what I'm going through because it is just ... too painful.

SHU UEMURA '14 CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

I am not a cat lover and never will be one. However, Shu Uemura's 2014 Xmas Collection is just too cute. Look at the packaging. It screams out 'cuteness overload'. I can't believe this is September 2014 already. Time flies super quickly. Looking from the promo pic, I'm interested in that blush or bronzer product. I just cannot wait until the collection is out in store.

Last week I went makeup shopping. I bought heaps of stuff from The FaceShop, Chanel, Dior, Deoproce and Tony Moly. I will show them bit by bit because I still haven't used all of it. I spent so much and I can only thank Ryan for the generosity and kindness.

I also went to check out Illamasqua Glamore Collection. Nothing impressed me. I went to check out the lipsticks and my only comment is "blah". Don't get me wrong, they are good lipsticks but ... they weren't that interesting in my opinion. 

There are a couple of drugstore makeup products that I want to check out, just like the Maybelline creamy matte lipsticks. I hear they are moisturising and pigmented. Do let me know if you have tried any of it. 

Until then, take care.

ILLAMASQUA GLAMORE COLLECTION

I am anxiously waiting for this collection to be out in Sydney. To be honest, I haven't gone to the stores to check whether it's out or not. I have been at home if not, been spending time with Ryan. 

Illamasqua is one of the many brands that I love. I own 3 lip products and 2 blushes by them. Their customer service is also exceptional. The staffs are very friendly and always wanting to share their makeup tips with you. This is one of the reason why I would spend my bucks at Illamasqua. 

For this collection, I am super interested in buying a few of their lipsticks. It is so hard for me to find the perfect nude lipstick. I don't like the washed out look. I like nude lipsticks that are MLBB, in case you don't know, it stands for 'my lips but better'. I also want to check out their infamous 'naked rose' blush. I see them popping up on blogs and Youtube. I just can't wait!!
