Hope you enjoyed your time here! :)
So today I did Black Swan look =DDD I know Halloween's over, but I don't care XD
The look is from the movie Black Swan, but I was actually inspired by Bunnycakez ^__^
For some reason I was never really that into the Black Swan makeup even though there were so many gurus recreating the look... but I saw Bunnycakez's recreation of the look and I was intrigued by how cute it looks on her ^____________^ Thank you Bunnycakez for inspiring me ^_^ <3
To see Bunnycakez's look, check here =D please check it out ^_^
Again I got a little bit too picture-happy XD It was very last minute, I was bored and sort of just was itching to do it all of a sudden XD it was very rough but I'm very happy with it ^_^ could've sharpen the look up with liquid eyeliner but I didn't want to waste my precious liquid eyeliners XD
and of course... I had no idea what to wear to complete the look -__-;; so in my usual tank top XD tank tops FTW!! XD
again a few photos were taken with beauty function
sort of just put my hair up cuz I didn't know what to do with it. I wish I have a tiara!
the only pic taken with my hair down, which I concluded doesn't suit the look XD
I like the horrible lighting in this pic XD the darkness... hehe <3
creepy yea yeah??? =DD
You can see my messy bun in the back ahahaha
So beneath all that darkness, is a dork at heart XD
Today I want to share another thing with you... which is my latest skincare obsession =D
lol haven't showed my naked face in a while =P
So lately I've been noticing that my pores have been getting bigger O_O reason? It's simple: because the heater has been drying out my skin!
I do leave a cup of water in my room to have a little bit of moisture, but it's just not enough because it's been getting so cold and we turn the heater up like crazy.
I usually like to use plain yogurt mask or oatmeal yogurt mask, but I wanted something more hydrating, so I decided to give this DIY mask another go =)
Of course, from bubzbeauty XD
I did try this mask when Bubbi first uploaded this mask, but I thought it was just okay at that time. For some reason, my skin really doesn't like honey =_= every time I put honey in my DIY mask, my skin seems to absorb less.
So anyway since I have all that coco powder sitting around I thought I'd give it ago, this time just using my favorite yogurt from Stonyfield and Hershey's cocoa powder =) and ohmygosh, I LOVE it! it does give that extra hydration <3 <3 <3
it contains antioxidants!! lol! Cocoa is supposed to be really good for you... minus all that sugar that usually accompanies most cocoa products lol!
I like to put a lot of cocoa powder in my yogurt, mix them up real well, put it in the fridge then go shower. After I'm all clean I would apply the mask to my whole face. It's interesting though cuz the cocoa powder does change the yogurt into a more whipped texture that reminds me of mousse????
leave it on for about 25-30 minutes.
Results are happy, hydrated, and may I say, radiant skin =D (haha I think so! too shameless? XD)
My skin is naturally a bit pink-toned compared to the rest of my body
Anyway my skin has never felt better at the moment =D My skin tone has been more even than ever as long as I can remember (not just because of this mask, but it's a gradual process of eliminating anything that might aggravate my skin. For example, I stopped using any clay masks which is definitely the culprit that contributed to the redness of my skin). It's still a bit pink but that's just how my skin naturally is =)
I hope you guys give it a go ^_^ Especially if your skin is dried out and it seems like no matter how much moisturizer you put on your skin is still dry. I have been using this mask non stop for a week now =D lol but I'm gonna let my skin take a break from it and stop using it every day.
If you do try it out let me know what you think ^_^
Want to share this real quick ^_^ I know Halloween was over but who cares XD I love watching crazy makeup at all times :D
Aren't these SO awesome?! I really really like the disco one at 00:31, and the one at 00:54... so gorgeous! (reminds me of Christina Aguilera =P) 1:01 is so gorgeous too... also 1:27 dark smokey eye and pink lips I want to try that look now =D and I love love LOVe the stud and spike look at 3:47... so glam and pretty! Maybe I will try to recreate them somehow? =P LOL okay I pretty much love all of them XD
I'm sure most of you are aware of the Friends and Family sale going on at Sephora yea yeah???!??? It goes till 11/2 so hurry up if you want to take advantage of the sale!
I have to say... this sale thingy is brutal T____T cuz there's actually a lot of things I want to buy at the moment T^T but remember I'm cutting down my costs at the makeup department?! So yeah... I am actually quite proud of myself cuz I only purchased skincare products, no makeup *sob sob*
Anyway here are the things I purchased ^_^
Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
I'm excited to finally purchase this cleanser! I got a sample size of this cleanser earlier this year and I remember hating it when I first used it. It doesn't lather or anything, it just feels like rubbing some thick liquid on my face, and you all know I love cleansers that give denser lather. And really my skin was really normal before so I couldn't tell if it was doing anything to my skin. So anyway I put it away and never used it again. However two months ago my skin suffered an allergic break out, it wasn't as bad as it could've been (I used yogurt like crazy!!! And Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum helped calm my skin down too) but it was very sensitive and itchy, so I wanted to use something really gentle cuz I noticed every time after I cleanse my face my break out spot became really red, swollen and irritated. I did use oatmeal to wash my face and it did help, but at the same time I wanted maybe something more calming. So I dug out this cleanser... and it helped calm down my skin, A LOT. So even though I hate it doesn't lather, I still think this is a really good cleanser ^_^
I'm not short on skin care because I have so many samples XD but I'm running low on real sized products. So I thought this is a good time to stock up ^_^ I asked my friend what she bought for her Sephora discount and she recommended this to me. She doesn't even have oily skin but she said it has worked for her since high school. So I'm excited to try this out ^_^
That's all I purchased! And now I'm gonna share the long-ass list of things I want to buy LMAO!!
NARS dual eye shadow in Codura
I really want this *sob sob* but I think I can survive without new eye shadows T^T *sniff sniff*
NARS blush in Deep Throat
I've always wanted this >< I remember buying the Orgasm blush when I actually really wanted this one... but I ended up buying Orgasm cuz it was the most popular =_= (I was kind of new to makeup at that time XD) regret >_< cuz Orgasm doesn't even flatter my complexion that much.
Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector
I've been wanting to try this ever since Rae talked about how good it is! But... $84 is really out of my league. I will save it for when I'm older and need more intense treatment XD
Tarte Amazonian Clay blush
I've been really wanting to try them ever since I saw Marlena talk about them. I like Amused and Tipsy ^_^
MAKEUP FOR EVER MAT VELVET+ foundation
Not necessarily want to buy this but really want to try it -__- (foundation junkie mode on)
FairyDrops Mascara
Been really wanting to try this as well cuz I heard so many good things! But it's so expensive and I have a lot of mascaras at the moment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And other things that I really want to try but not available at Sephora..
Chanel Perfection Lumiere
Again wanted to try this because of Rae XD it looks amazing on her skin! Although you guys all know I'm not short of foundations at all... I have too many in fact. Don't get me wrong I love my foundations but I just always want to try new ones XD
FairyDrops Candy Bar BB cream
(Image taken from prettyandcute.com)
I've been DYING to try this BB cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >____< ever since I saw Eki use it in her Alice in Wonderland tutorial. She did a review on this BB cream as well :)
It looks so thin and amazing!!! but it's SO expensive. And it doesn't contain SPF =( I do have a full size SKIN79 BB cream so I'm gonna finish that first before I move onto other BB creams *determined*
Hahaha omg that was SUCH a long list. I feel like such a makeup whore. LOL.
What did you guys buy from this sale? ^_^
I hope you guys didn't find this post too boring XD
