Swatches and reviews!

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

Hahaha... a procrastinator I am, indeed!

I should be resuming with my Chapter 4 and 5 but right now, here I am, blogging - the case of being too self-proclaimed free.

Since I'm so freaking 'free,' I shall do more swatches and reviews of the eye palettes and also lips products in my possession so that if you guys are interested, you can go ahead and get some for yourselves.

NYX Glitter Cream Palette

I guess this is not something you'd use on everyday basis but it's pretty handy to keep a glitter palette in your collection just case you'd need it.

The glitters aren't so smooth as I've thought they'd be exception for the last colour, it turns out REALLY smooth and applies so easily as being compared to it's other counterparts.


My palette is called The Bronze Goddess, hence, I'm not sure if the same thing applies to the other palettes as well.

These glitters can be removed easily using your makeup remover or even just your facial cleanser alone, hence I guess it's not so bad. Then again, you'll be needing a good base for these glitters to stick on so that they won't transfer everywhere on your face.

NYX Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit

I have this palette for a while now and I guess it'll take another while for me to finish using every single colour in the palette. Well, it's not impulsive buy but at that point of time I was contemplating if I should get Naked or not, so, I went ahead and got this instead.

Honestly, I don't regret getting this because for me, this palette is great for everyday natural look but lemming towards budget beauty category. Hey, it's like a quarter of Naked's price!


I used Stage's eyeshadow primer as a base for the swatches and the swatches were done with 20% wet fingers for more intense colour pay-offs.

This time around, I finally tried the 2 lip glosses that came along with the palette. Previously, I didn't want to stain it or anything because I thought I should just keep them there but, who's gonna use them if I just leave them there?

The answer is - ME, obviously!


Sorry for the oily face. Hahaha... I just realized I have V-shaped face. LOLX!

NYX For Your Mysterious Brown Eyes

I bought this palette on impulse because I fell in love with the green colour. Err... okay, it's great for everyday look too but with a tinge of green and purple.

If I were to compare this to Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit, I'd prefer the previous one than this palette.


The colours aren't as pigmented as the other kit but nevertheless, for it's price, you can't complain. This is so much cheaper than Maybelline's or L'Oreal eyeshadows at our local drugstores.

Urban Decay Naked Palette

As what I've said earlier, I shouldn't be splurging on Naked but it was the best buy ever! I mean, I've never spent so much on eyeshadows and NOT regretting getting it. I bet if I let it passed back then, I'd be squirming with regrets now.

Pigmentations are of great pay-offs! Then again, the eyeshadows are so smooth and blendability is high too!

Swatches are done with Stage's eyeshadow primer as base. There's NO way I'm gonna waste my UDPP for swatches! Hahaha...

From left to right - Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal, Whiskey & Zero

If you're contemplating to get either NYX Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit or Urban Decay Naked Palette, get UD's Naked take a look at the swatches for both palettes below!


They're pretty much similar and the plus point is that with Naked, the colours are of better quality and you get like 4 extra colours and also the shades are almost FULL-SIZED to normal UD's eyeshadows!

Hopefully this palette will be available to all Malaysian babes since Sephora will be opening soon! Yay!

Urban Decay Matte Eyeshadows & Pigments

The colours I've gotten are Narcotic and Chronic. Well, the picture says it all. I've never really purchased single eyeshadows on it's own before but, these are great buys, I me

Pigmentation is nothing to shout about since I personally think they're a bit sheer comparing to every shade in Naked Palette.


I swatched UD's Loose Pigments in Baked for ya'll too. I'm loving this pigments but I hate the packaging! It's like whenever I take it out, instead of landing on my eyelids, these pigments are all over the place! But.. but... RM13.40 only, can I complain?

Jesse's Girl Pure Pigment Eye Dusts

The shades I've gotten are Blackstar Blue and also Blue Moon. Penny Arcade and Secret Weapon belong to stupid sister. I don't know where she has put it, so I can't swatch for you guys.

The colours are beautiful, believe me!


A little goes a long way! I have yet to really test out the colours on my eyes but from swatches, they look great. Perhaps, I should be using this for my next outing!

I intend to get more of these if there should be more sprees for Jesse's Girl's products.

MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow Duo

If you've been following my blog, you'll know this is my first ever MAC eyeshadow!

I'm not sure about the rest of you but I do like this eyeshadow but to the certain point only. I live the taupe colour but NOT the gold colour.


The taupe side is smooth but for the gold side, it feels chalky. It could be due to the glitters in it. Luckily I did not make another impulsive buy on their other Mineralize Eyeshadows. Perhaps I should try their other eyeshadows.

Let's decide in time to come.

Oh, ya... the white swatch is from NYX The Ultimate Pearl Shadow. Refer to later pictures for more reviews.

NYX The Ultimate Pearl Shadow

I got the colour White Pearl and loving it. LOLX! This eyeshadows come in pretty handy especially if you wanna brighten up your inner eyes or even if you wanna make your eyes look like there's 3D effect or something like that!

On top of that, it can be used as highlighter too!

I love it!

I doubt if you can still find it elsewhere because I heard this line will be stopped, I don't know if the news is true or not. Swatch is earlier in this entry. Roll your cursor up!

Shiseido Maquillage Eyes Creator 3D

The shade I've gotten is in BR356 and it retails at RM160 if I'm not mistaken. Best of all, I didn't spend a single penny on this palette as this is a Christmas present in 2009 from my heartless brother.

Wait... Stupid sister, heartless brother - they rhymes! Hahahaha...

I'm still very much in love with this aside loving my UD's Naked. Well... it's a complete palette, no mistake. It comes with additional shimmers if you love shimmer and yeah, with gel liner as well!


If I'm done with all the colours in this palette, I'm gonna go and get refills!

Lip Glosses and Colours Mania!

I've been stocking up on my lip glosses and colours lately even though I have a tonnes of them in my collection already. Well, Stage is having sales and sprees are irresistible, alright?!

Lemme show you part of what I have and digging!


The first picture is taken with flash while the second one is without flash.

I guess I'm a collector. Hahaha... not a garbage collector yet!

Anyway, off to sleep!

Collective haul and updates

Update 1

I'm finally done with my Chapter 1, 2 and 3 of my thesis, submitted them and now, working hard to gather data so that I'll be able to graduate by this semester. Please pray for me, people that I'll be doing good!

I gotta submit few forms next week, so, please, please, dear God, please let everything goes well and smoothly for me.

Update 2

CNY holidays are coming to an end already hence, I'll be flying back to KL tonight and thus, my sucky life begins from tomorrow onwards - no more of home's warmth and comfort until the next time I'll be coming home again but, when?

Update 3

Gahhh... Post CNY weight gain is traumatizing me! Yes, I've gained 2 to 3kg during CNY and I need to shed these weights off or else I'll look like a pig in heat! I hate weight gains! If I'm born with a body to die for, I won't be needing to diet but unfortunately, I'm someone who gains weight easily. FML!

Update 4

This time around, I'm feeling very emotional. Pre-home-leaving feeling, plus after getting news after news that more and more friends are either getting engaged or married. It scares the hell out of me that I'm not getting any younger and that people have started asking, "Where is your boyfriend? I don't believe you're still a single!"

I'm going to shut all the windows and door so that nobody could come anywhere near me to throw those kinda questions or statements at me!

Hey, I still considered myself, young, okay?!

# # # # #

Done with updates and now, comes the real stuffs!

Now, tell me, which one of girls out there that is NOT interested in shopping? Of course with the condition that you can afford to shop. Well... if you can't afford to shop all the times like those rich ones, there always are SALES!

Sales' time is the best time to stock up your stuffs and I mean it!

Well, other than sales, there is always another alternative for you to get cheaper stuffs, provided you have friends outstation. Ah, I'm counting my blessings! A friend of mine brought back few stuffs from taobao, China for me and guess what? All these don't even exceed RM80!!!


Yes, earrings and hair clips! I love earrings and there is no mistake about it! The collection looks so pretty hanging in my room right now! Imma gonna bring all these to KL with me later!

Other than these earrings, I've decided to try out other beauty related products from Shills. If you don't know, Shills is Taiwanese brand. They have skincare, beauty and other products! I've been setting my eyes on the Miss Perfect Pore Balm and also Pore Hide and Heal Cream. I'm totally sold to cute packagings!


I wanted Benefit's Dr. Feelgood initially but afterwards, I changed my mind after getting a friend's review that it might feel oily on oily-combination skin like mine. Plus, the price of Dr. Feelgood wards me off!

Hence, I bought 2 Pore Hide and Heal Cream with 1 Miss Perfect Pore Balm. Up to this point of time, I have NOT regretted getting them because they're awesome!


This stuff is GREAT, I tell you, it is GREAT. I should have buy more than just 2. I should stock up while I can!


I have yet to try out this thing, hence shall talk about both of them in later entry!

The last thing from taobao is this...


Well, this balm smells like... strawberry! Hahaha... It's strawberry lip balm, alright, what do you expect?!

I have also gotten my parcels from Cherry Culture and NYX Cosmetics hauls finally, after waiting for 2 months or so!

This time around, I've gotten more lip glosses than other products - I'm such a b*tch! LOLX! I love lip glosses!


For the price of RM8++ for this LA Colors lip gloss, this colour is gorgeous even though it is not as pigmented as other products.

Oh, I did get a jar of NYX Lip Lacquer Pot in Sweet Pea!


I love this baby and I'll be considering to get more of the same products but different shades once I'm done with this one - very pigmented and two thumbs up!

Last but not least... more glitters!


NYX Glitter Cream Palette in Bronze Goddess. Oh... if you don't know, I love glitters nowadays. I don't know what have gotten into me but yeah... I adore glitters these days!


Words cannot describe how gorgeous and beautiful this palette is!

Best of all, all NYX products are bought at 50% discount!

Products from ELF Makeup and Cosmetics came just recently as well! Spree was crazy because everything was offered at 50% discount. That means, if the item was USD$1, after discount, it was USD$0.50 only! How can you resist this temptation?

After craving for ELF's new shimmer pencils, I've finally gotten 4 of them!


Then, there are more brushes!

My very first stippling brush and also another powder blush that works great as stippling brush. LOLX! I contradict myself!


I love these brushes so, so much. Honestly, I love majority of ELF brushes! They all work fine even though they are a buck each only!

Final two products from ELF...


Last but not least... haul from Stage Cosmetics - RM18 each!


My best buy from Stage Cosmetics - eyelash curler!


I thought of wanting to get Shu Uemura's eyelash curler but since the price is at hefty RM68 or more... I've decided to skip it and be satisfied for Stage's because I read reviews that this thing works better for Asian eyelashes!


Well, it came out as one of the best buys in 2010 in Women's Weekly and best of all at only RM35 only!

As of now, I gotta go and resume packing for my trip back to KL.

Goodbye home and hello, KL!

Oh, before that... one last picture of the un-vain version of me!


No makeup, no whatsoever and in my pajamas! LOLX! Yes, I was holding my friend's bridal bouquet, hence it means, it's my turn to get married next year!

CIAO!
