DAINTY DOLL + MAC MINERALIZE MAKE UP

>>FOTD TURNED CAM WHORING: DAINTY DOLL + MAC MINERALIZE EYE SHADOWS

After trying my new Dainty Doll eyes shadow on its own I thought, why not combine with black? So, here was I came up with. I know it's more of a camwhoring than merely posting FOTD. Since I'm on no-buy-mode, I suppose I can compensate on something else to keep myself busy ;)

FOTD: DAINTY DOLL

>>FOTD: DAINTY DOLL

I've been wanting to try Dainty Doll make up by Nicola Roberts (in collaboration with Jelly Pong Pong) but because I've been so busy at work, I had to leave the box unpacked for about 3 days from the day it was delivered (wasn't very me, I know). Soooo...., when I eventually got around to opening the box, I got so excited so try them on and this was I came up with. I was so tempted to mix the eyeshadow with black but I wanted to see if the honey bronze on its own would stand out. I thought it was okay... what do you think?

In this FOTD, I used the following Dainty Doll make up:

EYES:

Honey Bronze Eye Shadow with Base

CHEEKS:

Blush & Contour in Blossom

LIPS:

Lip Plumping Lipgloss in Hibiscus

NO-BUY-MODE

>> NO BUY MODE SWITCHING... ON!!!>>

Hah! I'm coming to my senses and decided to raise my no-buy-mode flag up! The stuff I'm posting here are bought before I switched my no-buy-mode on before you think that I'm kidding myself ha ha ha!

Anyway, I've been extremely busy with work that I wasn't able to update my blog site regularly and because of that, my stuff have been left on the corner of my bedroom untouched for a while. It wasn't until yesterday that I eventually had the time to re-organize my stuff and unpack my last delivery.

I thought I'd share with you my latest purchases... Let me emphasize that I acquired these items before my no-buy-mode was raised ;)

It was the first time I shopped at ASOS and only because they were doing 75% discount sale

2 cute tops with my very own Dainty Doll make up by Nicola Roberts and Jelly Pong Pong... Yey!

Cute top...

Another cute top!

My Dainty Doll make up... Cute packaging! I love them!

Lovely neutral colours

This is chilli infused lipgloss and stings a bit when I apply it but it goes after a while and leaves that minty feeling on my lips. I love that it melts on my lips giving me a natural (nudish) shimmer. Doesn't feel sticky nor heavy on my lips... Absolutely love it!

I was a bit apprehensive about trying this concealer as Nicola Roberts (off Girls Aloud) aimed her line of make up for those who have pale skin and that is also the reason why I gave her foundation a miss. However, this concealer has got natural shade that it just melt on my skin but giving a good coverage.

I love the eyeshadow base and the colur of the e/s is really stunning!

The swatches

Cute packaging... Sooo girly!

I think I'd be using this for contouring but I'll need tips from Jheng or anyone of you :) I'd like to learn how to shape my button nose :(

My Clarins little something

Pure Melt Cleansing Gel with Marula Oil (claims to have vitamin C 4x more than an orange has) and a couple of my favourite waterproof eye pencils I use to shape my eyebrows

I love this eye pencil as it has a great quality smudge brush,which I find helpful when smudging eyeliners (when creating smokey eyes) and shaping my eyebrows

My other make up items I can't live without... Clinique Poweder Foundation and Pressed Poweder. I blend them together after applying my liquid foundation. Gives me a great coverage and finish

Been using this since 1995 and I can't imagine a life without it ;)

I thought I'd try this product and I really love it. I can't wear any lippies now without this as a base :)

Great packaging, huh!

Just a few necessities

What about you? Are you on no-buy mode at the moment? How are you getting on with it. Any tips you'd like to share? Please do :)
