I hope everyone’s been doing well. Apologies for falling off the bandwagon (I know I know, it’s a petty excuse but I tend to be very one-track-mind about work..) but in die-hard fashion, the hauling didn’t really stop in my absence *grin*. And oh, before I drone on and on, here’s a FOTD (the only thing that got me posting, really) of what I wore last night.
Eyes: Ombres Perles de Chanel, the fourth colour in the quint.
Cheeks: (my beloved) Chanel Bronze Rose Soleil Tan de Chanel – seriously I need a backup of this goody. I cannot begin to tell you how much of a workhorse this is, especially to slightly contour my cheeks.
Lips: MAC Sheen Supreme in Insanely It, and a matching lipliner that I didn’t catch. I wore this all night and it was so comfortable! And if anyone’s curious, I spent my eve of Public Holiday playing poker (and losing….). Methinks this may well be a turning point in my life – no more nudes?! *cue shocked expression*
**And any feedback on my hair? I’ve been meaning to cut bangs but…. my girlfriends and hairstylist are dead against it. The priority being high-maintenance (I ‘m more inclined to snip it myself than go down to the salon…) and the second being too ‘kiddish’ for work. Thoughts?
See the awesomeness that is Bronze Rose? Love. To give you an idea of how bright the lipstick is, I’m an NC15 (but a strange one seeing that my hair is now ‘Sweet Apricot *rolls eyes*) and I felt good wearing it out around the mall! At least there were no little kids running away screaming to their mommies ‘why is there a weird lady with bright fuchsia lips walking around?!’ – but I digress.
This is an exciting time in the makeup world, I confess to be enamored by Guerlain (check out Les Fauves and Peach Boy, whoohoo!), Chanel (I’m a fan of the US pressed powder blush formula..), Burberry (Dark Sable and Mulberry, want!), Giorgio Armani (have you gotten yourself the new ETKs yet? If not, go and catch them all!) and Chantecaille (the Elephant eye quad and cheek colour is gorgeous!).
And just to share the glorious room that we got upgraded to at the Marina Bay Sands, I would need to stop feeding my makeup addiction if I were to be able to afford a house like this in future, lol.
And no staycation is complete without room service! The Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad is the bomb-diggity!
Enjoy the Public Holiday folks, I’m off to hunt for more bright lipsticks now.
Hey beautiful, I am glad you had such a good time, the room looks fantastic. You know what, the bright lip look suits you, this colour is very nice, you must wear this often. I’m looking forward to owning Burberry Mulberry and the new foundation. Les Fauve quad has such great pigmentation, it is gorgeous.
You flatter me Jacq! And yes, it’s down a slippery road of no return as I profess myself to be extremely intrigued with bright lipsticks now! Though my lips are pretty dry by themselves and it’s so hard to find a good, hydrating lipstick of that specific. I should buy the lippie and the lip liner hor? Wear it with cool blue-pink blush and slight contour, and I’ll be set. The look above is quite warm…
I’m looking forward to Dark Sable (but not if it’s purely matte, I have no idea what to do with matte things) and Mulberry! Would you think Les Fauves might be too warm for me?
Sweetie, if the lippie and pencil suits you well ad it does not accentuate your dry lips, what are you waiting for, buy!
Actually I have come to learn to love a good matte so we shall see about Dark Sable. I do know that a mate isn’t as intriguing as a shimmery or satiny finish.
Les Fauves is very warm. Without super dark eye liner to anchor the look, my eyes would have looked like I either cried or was punched but with black liner, I loves! You may want to think hard about this one, perhaps get a SA or MA try it on you.
I’m looking forward to your post on the growing love for matte shadows Jacq, I’m sure that would be really helpful for me.
And sadly, I have to pass on Les Fauves. The colour is simply too warm for me, and when I tried to deepen the look, the individual shades blended together and formed 1 wash of colour on my lids. Even with liner, and the matching Guerlain liquid heaven lipstick thing.
Me thinks I’m going to get me some MAC to play with, hehe :p
