Goodies from Benefit

I've Ordered from Benefit again, since they have a fall promotion of free international shipping. I got tempted and as usual.. I give in. I receive the package 16th of October and it was mailed 2nd of October.

I hate that the freebies ar super super tiny and just like a sachet package but anyways here are the goodies:

Awesooomeness treat

I am following a Facebook Makeup online store (they also have kiosk from time to time) here in Singapore.
They sell US makeup brands that is not available in Singapore or that is available but too pricey (at least for my standards). One of the owner posted a job posting and I post it to our church's FB group. One of my churchmate passed the job and what's awesome is... she can buy product with 25% discount! How cool right?
Anyways thanks for that awesomeness treat. I already asked her to buy me 2 products and I'm excited to get the stuff from her.

Its been awhile since I've tried to do looks.. perhaps I'll do a look once I get a hold of those amazing products I've ordered.

Ciao!

MakeUp Trends for 2012

St. Patricks *fourleaf clover* look

I tried to create a green look since its st. patrick.. not really celebrating this.. but since I love green why not hehehe.. I have 2 collage, one is without effect the other one is with retro effect. I've used a digicam this time although the two eyes seems blurred because of my hand but the color are much better than webcam photos or my phone cam. Excuse my eyebrows hahaha i haven't groomed it yet so most of the pics are without eyebrows..

Here you go...

Sleek Au Naturel - PinUp look

I know it was Women's day last 8th of March and I forgot to rock a red lips to shout Yay to all women out there. I got a chance to play with my sleek palette.. i have no swatches though because the 3 colors in the 1st row are not that visible on my arms..

I've decided to use it with my own pin up version and a red lippie.

Lips are blurred because its  just cropped in a whole face pic

Me Myself and I trying to look pretty LOL

Sleek Haul

I've ordered to sleek makeup... i was actually planning to order since last year but I have a very tied budget.. even now but the shipping is slash to 50% so I gave in to temptation. I ordered 27th Feb and it arrives 7th March... not bad I haven't waited that long unlike with Sigma and MakeUp Geek. I guess UK is a bit nearer in UK hehehe.

I actually ordered just a few items because most of the things I wanted is out of stock =(. Pout paint minx and pin up, pout paint bare minimum are out of stock and the face contour kit in light. Anyways I'll just wait for the next promo hopefully free shipping with discount hehehe just like benefit!

Unboxing...

The goodies inside

somethin' dramatic

I know i dont and will never look like Olivia wilde. I just like her make up from one of her photoshoot.

Honestly it looks better in person, (as usual iphone 4 front camera photo only)

i love this for night out or party at night.. picture doesn't give it justice =(

Wishing

I wanted to buy a new camera so that everytime I try different makeup look it would look good on the pictures.. I hate looking at it on webcam and phone pics.. lighting is soo  poor and it doesnt show the vibrance of the colors.

Anyways yesterday I've tried playing with my UD 15th anniversary palette and I've used deep end.. I know... im really addicted to green shades hahhaa.. I have a few pictures but I dont like the quality as usual..So sad for my very short eyelash, im not wearing any falsies on this photo..

Deep End, Midnight Rodeo ace and vanilla with nude glossy lips

Another look from Naked 2

Sad to say I  have no camera of my own up to now hehehe. I am still using the webcam from my mac or my iphone to take a picture of the look i've pulled out for Naked 2. I tried to do this look but i'm not sure if you can see how the eyes looked. (bad camera) I tried it with both nude lips and red lips.I ain't wearing any falsies as usual, (i dont have any right now).

I took a photo of no makeup first:

here is the one that has make up. I know it looks just like those other looks i've had from naked, but its just because of the camera is not really good. But in person its different hehehe..

Ciao!

Nada

It's been awhile since I did looks or to recreate one from the beauty gurus.. Been busy lately with alotta things and stuff with family and other things.. I miss applying makeup to others. Hopefully if everything goes smooth sailing I'll be able to pull out a few looks with my palettes.

Natural is beautiful and make up is Glam - Itsjudytime <3

Here are the looks i've tried with each UD palette I have, as usual either my phone camera or my web cam is the used:

Urban Decay Naked Palette 1:

Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette:

WISH LIST: My own digital cam (no need for an slr not a pro)

Shai and Ronald's outdoor photoshoot

Shai and Ronald have two photoshoot, this is the outdoor, I really white over green-nature-inspired background.

That's all for now :)

It's been awhile

I've been quite busy with things at work and other stuff like a few photoshoot with friends and what not.
CapHRIchoS team finished 2 photoshoot for Shai and Ronald as part of their wedding prenup. The indoor and outdoor. I'll post a few pics once I've finished uploading it.

Well it's almost halloween.I've been wanting to create a scary look and a not so scary look for halloween but I guess I have no time to buy a few stuff. I'd like to recreate Karina's zombie look my own version. Well.. we'll see if I can squeeze it to my not so busy lifestyle.

Hasta la vista!

Erliene's Photoshoot

Last night we did another photoshoot, this time with a hot mom, Erliene. Our churchmate's wife. She's got pretty deep set eyes and the clothes are fantastic, I personally love the purple one on her. This is just the first leg of the shoot. We're gonna have another one outside our so called AMK studio hehehe.

Here are a few photos:

yellow!!

Out of boredom, I made a look that I don't know where I got hahaha.. I guess it reminds me of the ancient egyptian pharaoh. Again and again... sorry for the photo's resolution I've been using the web camera of my macbook since my hubby is not available at times I do my look, aside from the bad lighting where my laptop is placed.

Here you go... I don't have falsies still.. I promise on my next looks I would put falsies to enhance the look.

This one is edited..

with flash

Happy Dance!! Happy Friday!

I am so happy because my favorite make up artist of all time Jung Saemool ( korean) confirmed me as Friend. I didn't expect it since her profile is very very limited. She just recently launch her own Makeup Brand MULE and I can't wait to get one no matter how expensive it will be! hahahaha.. She's a very artistic makeup artist that enahnces what you have and doesn't over do the make up and that is what I like about her.. I am happy she even commented on my post!! Thanks Jung Saem Mool!!


Here are a few photo transformation she did with her talented hand.. She's my inspiration to do well with my craft for make up artistry.. Less is More.. Visit her website and see more photos www.jungsamemool.com

Fall to Winter 2011 Beauty Trends

I was browsing over the fashion websites like harpers bazaar and our vanity. I saw the looks for this Fall and Winter (though it never snow in Singapore) or should I say the look for the last quarter of the year till early 2012.

All reviews from these sites are straight from the runway. 

Fall/Winter trends are more invative. It goes from barely there makeup look, to bright bold contradicting vampy lips and oh so neutral smokey metallics to a warm orangey eyes. Top it off with brighter looking eyes with great mascara and more thicker cat line The trends for this season is really classy and sophisticated with a touch of hype.

1. Nude make up trends - This is one of my favorite, most of the presented runway look this fall/winter is the barely-there make up trend. Which is everyone knows my fave. I like the fact that it just accentuates and enahnce the beauty that is already within the model. It is fresh and natural. As always "less is more" never goes out of style.

Barely-there Nude on runway, celebrities with different race and colors it still trendy and fresh looking for anyone.

Runway models and celebrities with no make up-makeup :)

 2. Vampy Lips - From the looks of it, if there is nude, there would definitely be vivid, bright colors. That goes to contradict the natural looking make up. Runway models at some instance show case their vampire-looking lips of different colors. The lips from bright red to even fuschia almost purple shade are all over the runway too. I guess it compliments the nudeness of a face make up better.

3. Thick Eyebrows - is still in. Overly plucked eyebrows is still not on trend. Thick, natural and almost boyish brows are in. Runway models showcase their thick brows for fall-winter 2011-2012 catwalk. I love this brows because it makes you look younger and innocent.

4. Accentuated eyes - Liners and mascara, helps accentuate the eyes, fall and winter runway also ramped up the models with enahnce cateye to sculpt the eyes and no lash extension, just dark stumpy clumpy lashes.Smudge dark shadow on the outer corner and under the lower lash line to give it a definition.

5. Various Colored Smokey and Orange-ish shadows - Metallic grey, silvery-blue, purplish and brownish, sea green  smoked eyes. Basically classic version of smokey eyes presented in unusual eyeshadow combination. Not only the traditional smokey eye is present but a new makeup trend with a mix and match of orange shades of shadow.

Smokey eyes

Review: Cure Aqua Gel

Quick Review about this skin care product I've been using recently.


I've seen this product from two of my favorite YT gurus Bubz and Jen of Frmheadtotoe. I was lucky enough that it is all over Singapore. I tried it and loved it. Take note, it is so different from that old school glue-like cream that was selling like hotcakes before that removes deadskin cells. This is water base and you can really see the effect after washing your face and the next day.

It absorbs my moisturizer better and it really cleans deeply. I use it twice a week and so far I'm loving it!
