This is the simple look with the palette. 

EOTD:Coastal Scents 88 Eyeshadow Palette－Christmas Tree

Merry X'mas!!!

It's the first time I'm using Coastal Scents 88 eyeshadow palettes though I've bought them for more than 6 months!! They are great palettes for playing colors, because of the large color spectrum. The most important thing is, they are quite cheap, around S$30 each, for 88 colors. But there is a lot of fallout with the majority of these shades, and blending of those shades is not easy. This is the trade off between quality and price.. :D Applying eyeshadow primers would make things much easier..

The colors I used for this EOTD are mainly the variations of green, from kelly green to dark green.

This look was inspired by Christmas tree - variations of green~~

Products I used:

• Eyeshadow: Coastal Scents 88 pieces palette
• Primer: Lunasol eyeshadow primer, Too faced shadow insurance
• Eyeliner: Mac eyeliner gel
• False lashes: Ardell  #110
• Contact: Neo Glamour Gray
• Makeup brushes: 
• Hakuhodo: S134,
• MAC: #217, #219
• MakeUpShow: 5E05, H13
• Nars: #15
• Lip: Mac Nude Rose(limited edition), Lunasol gloss #shining rose
• Nail: Chanel #489

EOTD: RMK Translucent Eyes 05 Translucent Grey & By Terry Eyeliner 101 Violet Velvet

I've been addicted to grey eyeshadow recently, and RMK 05 Translucent Grey makes a great addition to my grey eyeshadow collection.

 

Swatch on arm:

The colors are a soft silvery light gray and a sheer shimmery petal pink.

 

EOTD: Nars Kalahari - Brown, Purple and Green

Summer comes to the end, fall is around the corner ....

I got Nars duo kalahari months ago, but it's the first time I use it, it ever disappointed me. This duo contains two different brown colors, both with subtle shimmer and silky texture. The left one is lighter neutral caramel and the right one is darker purple-taupy brown.

Products I used:

• Nars Kalahari 
• Nars Jolie Poupee
• Bobbi Brown eyeliner gel
• Freshlook contact lens
• Makeup brushes
• Ardell false lashes

This look was inspired by a picture from a magazine.

I applied the left color from Kalahari on my entire eyelid, the the right one on the crease area as well as outer corner of the eye. Then blend the edge of crease area up to the eyebrow area using the left color. Applied the violet shimmer from NARS Jolie Poupee on the inner corner using a pencil brush (M.A.C 239 or MakeUpShow 5E05)

The look with green contact lens from Freshook. I really like this color match.

Vivi Inspired EOTD - Ice Blended

Every beginning of the month, I have several must-buy magazines, such as Vivi, Mina, Queen, Ray, Her world and etc. Most of the time I would get them from a small book store near my house, because magazines are very heavy... :D

This is the cover page of Vivi 2010 July Issue. Wow, those cover girls are so pretty!!

This is one of the FOTD in this issue, named "Ice Blended". I like this eye mu very much...

I copied this eye MU, products used:

Nars eyeshadow DUO: Star Sailor & Rated R

Swatches and EOTD of Cle De Peau Eye Color Quad #19

Thanks to cc that we can get those information of all sales around Singapore. I got this CDP eye color quad #9 from shiseido sale last week; we've reviewed another palette #21 (here).

 

The texture of these e/s is supreme. The colors are not outstanding if compare to Lunasol or Nars e/s, but the texture is much better than the other two. Both palettes we got (#19 & #21) are very pretty for daily natural look.

EOTD: Urban Decay Deluxe shadow box - Honey & Fishnet

Urban Decay Deluxe shadow box is a very colorful palette, which you can create many different EOTDs with different color combination.

We did a EOTD with two blue colors: Ransom and peace (here).

Enaj requested for an EOTD with combination of two colors "Honey" and "Fishnet", she would like to see how these two colors (golden and purple) could turn out if use them together. I'm curious too. :D

Lunasol Geminate Eyes Ruby vs. Blooming Eyes Pink Gradation

Before reading the article below, can you tell which palette was used on which eye, ruby or pink gradation?  Which one you prefer, right eye or left eye?

It's interesting and also necessary to do comparisons for similar eyeshadow palettes, in terms of swatches or EOTD. It will be easier to visualize the differences between similar palettes and also convenient for gals who are mind-struggling with choosing them.

There always a pink palette for most of the Lunasol collection. Her we are going to compare two pink tone eyeshadow palette Geminate eye 05 Ruby and Blooming eye 01 pink gradation.

EOTD: A Touch Of Blue - Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box

- Urban Decay deluxe shadow box

- Too Faced Shadow Insurance (TFSI)

- Mac gel eyeliner : blacktrack

- A set of eyeshadow brushes

- False lashes :Ardell

- Blue-gray contact lens: FreshLook

Nars DUO eyeshadow - Méditerranée

Méditerranée is one of the most beautiful duo eye shadows of NARS.  It is a combination of beige color and very bright screamingly orange with gold shimmer.

Nars Jolie Poupee - A Little Taste of Purple

Another high rating Nars DUO in MUA (Average rating 4.9). If you love purple eyeshadow, then definitely you should get this one.

Jolie Poupee, meaning baby doll, is from the NARS Holiday 2008 collection.

Left:  matte lavender
Right: violet shimmer


I did a simple eye make up mainly using this duo, though my eyes have nothing to do with baby doll at all....

Here is what I use:

Nars Blade Runner . . .

I got this duo from HongKong Nars counter, price was affordable.
It's a great pity that we cannot get it in Singapore..


I love this duo (actually I love most of nars palettes, which shows I'm a big fan of Nars）<3

Blade Runner is a duo shadow of blackened Emerald green and dark coppery brown. It's an amazing combination. Both colors are very pretty and richly pigmented. I bought this one mainly because of the shimmering green color. But this duo is hard to use, esp for Asian eyes.

Nars Misfit

Some friends asked abt Misfit duo, I did  a simple eye makeup using this duo. It's unique green color tht I never saw before .

The picture I got from narscosmetic.com

Left: ecru shimmer
Right: emerald shimmer

Light Smoky - NARS essential eye palette 9952 Thunderball

Nars essential eye palette (9952) belongs to the NARS 2009 summary collections. It's never easy to get Nars in Singapore, and I have waited for half a year for this baby to reach me.....

Though the modern love palette (9951) is more popular than 9952, I do have a crash on 9952, which caught my heart at the fisrt sight, especially the shade thunderball, with a cool cadet grey, perfect for light smoky eyes (the right bottom one).
