On Blogging Hiatus.
Filed under: Personal Moods

I’m thinking of revamping my site.

I don’t have a definitive idea as of now yet.

That’s why I’m not gonna post for a few weeks or a month or so until I’m finally resolved on what to do with this.

Heh. :D

Beauty Secrets Meme.
Filed under: Memes

Let’s give this blog a brand new atmosphere, starting off with responding to Beauty Bento Box’s tag. ;)

My Foundation: MAC Studiofix in NC30. Great Coverage. Long-lasting Staying Power. MAC Studiofix is actually a staple for most makeup artists, albeit I’m dying (and ogling) to try SK-II Air Brush Foundation or Shu Uemura Velvet Perfect Adjusting Powdery Foundation in the future. :P

My Mascara: I rarely use mascara since I’m pretty much contented with the way my lashes look like. Anyway, sometimes I use MAC Plushlash in Brownette (Many thanks to Sophie for this one!) for special occasions.

My Blush: My face is seriously breaking out right now so I’m skipping off blushers in the meantime. But before, I used either BeneFit Dandelion or Nars Orgasm. Both leave a tinge of pink for that naturally healthy, flushed glow. :) (And uh, I use some of my MAC blushes alongside, depending on my mood. :P)

My Eye Shadow: I’m not really an eye shadow person. Applying it takes time and art to create a lovely gradient-like effect. But hence, I use my Sugar Kaleidoscope Palette, BeneFit and MAC eye shadows if I got the time and the mood to do it. :P

My Day Cream: I got oily skin so I somewhat skip applying moisturizers especially during the daytime. But, I do apply Nu Skin Enhancer moisturizer whenever my skin feels parched (which is really a rare occasion).

My Lipstick: MAC Slimshine lipstick in Gaily is <3. :D

A quick recap on my Zeezoobic adventure last Saturday-slash-Sunday.

What’s more emancipating than getting a beach getaway after a tedious week heaped with work load?

Luxurious Agent Provocateur Titillation Balms.

I snagged this Agent Provocateur beauty treat months ago, and I couldn’t get enough raving for its lip balm.

Agent Provocateur
, like La Perla, is very famous for its posh line of lingeries. :) So posh, that a set will cost you a leg! :P Aside from their sultry line of intimate apparel comes a sensuous line of bath & body and beauty products. One of which that captivates me is the Agent Provocateur Titillation Set which composed of a lip balm and, ugh, a nipple balm.

Well yeah, I suppose you’re now thinking the likes of Marilyn Monroe or Dita Von Teese by the sound of it. ;) (Continue reading…)

Something Christian Siriano Inspired.

*Lurve, lurve, lurve the ruffled jacket-belt ensemble!*

Christian Siriano, the youngest of Fashion Runway’s Season 4 contestants, has been my favorite among others. It wasn’t such a surprise when I found out that he’s this season’s big winner. I love his bold, ruffled avant-garde pieces. So one time, I decided to sketch something that’s Siriano inspired (from his Fall 2008 collection). (Continue reading…)

Lusting for Valentino Pret-a-Porter 2008 Autumn/Winter Collection at the Paris Fashion Week.

The recent Paris Fashion Week graced style and glamor as top designers presented their brandishing fab collections for Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter 2008. Some are hot, while others are kinda eccentric and inexplicable. :P

Valentino caught most of my attention. Since one of my favorite designers has just retired, Alessandra Facchinetti made a great job as she filled in his shoes and designed the pret-a-porter collection for this year’s Fall/Winter–which did not fail to be lavishly posh and elegant. Looks like dark tinged hosiery and high-heeled platforms are still in. The House of Valentino’s structured jackets are so lovely to use as office wear, while the dresses really spell ethereal. Truly, every piece is timeless and a cult favorite, so does the retired designer *sob*. Au Revoir, Valentino!

Here are some pieces I truly admire: (All images taken from Style.com)

Pink Makeup Brushes.
Filed under: Charm and Makeup Brushes and Product Reviews

I am almost “all-things pink,” except that I happen to love black, white and brown as well. :)

Last week (Saturday), best bud Sophie and I finally met. Like finally, coz I haven’t given to her my Christmas present which has been stuck here in the office for ages. Well, in return, she gave me this gorgeous 7-piece travel size brush set–handles are tinged in pink!

Bikini Sketch.
Filed under: Fashion Reviews

This is my first time to do a design for a pair of, uhm, sexy sensuous bikinis. :)

And I did this for my wonderful best bud, Sophie. :D

Will make few embellishments on this soon. As soon as we agreed upon such.

In the meantime, indulge in my moment of crappy-ness. :P
