Back to Black

I can't believe it's already June and June has to be the most-est terrible month of the year. You'll know why when you've gotta fork out your savings for two birthdays in the family. LOLX! My savings may be dry but then again, that means family gathering twice in a month.

If that is so, I guess I just have to save more this month. That probably means having to finish up existing products and contemplate whether I need to buy more of certain stuffs. Yeah, that is my life for you if you don't know yet. Either way, I kinda am proud of myself that I've finished up certain products and here you go, a few pictures to share - EMPTIES OF MAY 2012!

I've always adore hair products with nice fragrances and these would be my all time favourite but I don't think I will be going back to get them because I still have quite a lot of products in hand.

As for skincare products, these products are okay but well... I guess we all have our high and low end products, right?

~ Sasatinie Green Apple Gel Moisturiser - best for moisturising effect as well as giving hydration ~

I like toners with a little bit of astringent so... Eskinol is my all-time favourite toner. Not only it is super affordable but it is very refreshing especially if you have combination to oily skin.

I guess I've passed my own test of finishing-what-I-have-in-hand project.

Anyway, let's proceed to the title 'Back to Black.'

If you guys are aware of it, I'm sure you know it is a song from the late Amy Winehouse. No, you have no idea of who Amy Winehouse is?

Amy is well-known for her super-thick cat-eyed liner.

Actually, I did not get to know Amy until probably... when she passed away last year? LOLX! I know, I know, I was not being ignorant but again, I was really busy with my thesis and also work back then. So throughout the period she was actively singing and battling drugs, I was busying digging into my world of thesis-ism. How ironic, right?

Since I was too bored last week, I tried to re-create her super thick cat-eyed liner look.

It was purely a pain in the arse because I thought her cat-eyed liner would be easy to draw but I was so damn wrong because I can't pull that kinda look at all.

Amy is all out on black eyeliner. I figured out black would look too harsh on me so, I ended up using a brown liquid eyeliner instead.

I really tried hard to create the curvacious cat-eyed look but darn, I failed because when I opened my eyes, it didn't look anything close to Amy's look.

Nevertheless, at least I've tried... it is all about efforts! LOLX!

I also tried to create the sky-high and thick bouffant on Amy's signature look.

I did not own any wigs or puffy material to slip under my hair so, I had to depend on a lot of bobby pins and also hair spray to keep the bouffant puffy and high.

Removing the bobby pins afterwards was a hideous process!

This is the end result of the eyeliner and also, a fake piercing towards the left side of my cupid's bow.

This look can never be complete without Amy's signature cigarette on hand. Since I do not smoke, I had to replace the cigar with my Empro eyebrow pencil.

Somehow, Isabel noticed that. LOLX!

I'm gonna end my entry here so, for those of you who are working, happy work week, people!

BoA's Game Inspired Look

Update - NYX products can now be bought at Colours Cosmetics if you are from Malaysia and Singapore!

As most of the people know that I am a NYX Cosmetics addict and I am proud that I am one though. Hey, I spent time and money in investing in good pieces of cosmetics, okay?

My recent order of NYX Ultimate Pearl Eyeshadow came last week and this is basically how it looks like.


The colour, as usual, is highly pigmented with a sheer shimmer in it - me lurve it!

So, I was reading a blog recently and saw Jen from frmheadtotoe did a look inspired by BoA's MV, Game.


Nice, right? Love that look but little did I know I spent like 30 minutes trying to pull this look on my eyes especially as I don't have any cream eyeshadow. Nevertheless, that wasn't a problem. Let's take another look at Jen's and BoA's versions.


Okay, here's the final look on BoA... I know, I know... all the shimmers and glitters add value to the whole look.


I was pretty much inspired to do the look - semangat betul, no kidding! I don't get inspiration and the mood to play make-up these days and when I do, it'll be very, very dramatic look I'm going for. Feast your eyes...


I also lacked of glitters because I left the whole bottle at my hometown, hence, there were only slight shimmers in the white parts. I know the above pictures don't do much justice if I'm not showing you the FULL pictures. Thus, here goes nothing...

Before that, please promise me you won't freak out because my sister and Clara did!

They went like, "Hantu, hantu!"

Aherm... anyway...

~ Taken with flash ~

If you're eating when you're reading this, I'm sorry if I've made you puke at the sight of the look on me. Trying to pull off that look was really FUN but the so-not-fun part came when I realized I couldn't pull off that look.

The look looks so nice on BoA and Jen but not me.

I am not a high-street fashion junkie after all.

If you're interested in the products I've used, most of them are from NYX Cosmetics. Maybe I should just write down everything.

See... I told you so, most of the products I've used are from NYX Cosmetics. Yes, NYX junkie I am. Hahahaha...

Anyway, I'll be off to bed now. It's way past my should-be bedtime and yes, I am still sick after 2 weeks. What kinda stupid virus is that?

Well, before I go...


Ah... That is for scaring the wits out of you!

안녱히주무세요 annyeonghi-jumuseyo!

Tsubasa Masuwaka inspired look!

Did I hear "yeaaahh," "ooohhh," "wwwwaaaahh" or perhaps, "boooo" around me now?



I know, I know... The Tsubasa inspired look is soooooo in right now because she's so dramatically pretty and kawaii. A lot of videos on how to get her look are uploaded in youtube and I guess you don't need my help to google it up, right?



I've been wanting to re-create her look for quite some time but due to insufficient time laziness, I have been unable to do so. No, no, no... I don't claim to look like Tsubasa or even anywhere near her.

Again, I don't claim I'd be able to re-create her look successfully either.

This is just a look inspired by her that I've created and no, it's not a tutorial because I'm not good at giving instructions.

So, this Tsubasa's look I've opted for...



Please don't remind me of my hair colour. I know, I know and I know. If I'm into entertainment field, then, I might considering going blonde.

As far as I could see, Tsubasa's eyes' make-up is not dramatic. The look is very subtle and yet sweet but it is due to the dramatic dolly wink lashes and also coloured contacts that they add a MAGICAL touch to the whole look!

At the same time, a touch of pink blush and nude lips do compliment the whole package!

Why do I always get distracted? I should be showing you the picture of my creation. Anyway... here goes nothing but...

Please don't say I didn't warn you of how pretty I am!



Nah, feast your eyes - the Tsubasa inspired look by yours truly. LOLX!

This the the upclose look of my eyes' make-up.

Hence, before I end this entry, Imma gonna show you another two pictures!



That comes together with the manicure - a complete set of doll-look-alike inspired look!
