CREME DE LA MERE UPDATE AND WORK FOTD

CREME DE LA MER UPDATE AND WORK NEUTRAL FOTD

As you could probably imagine, I have been pampering myself with my new La Mer Skin regime and I'm loving every minute of it!

I thought I'd give you an update by posting an FOTD. I know someone has requested that I post a photo of me without make up but it is never going to happen :P

Anyway, photos below were taken a week after I've started my Creme De La Mer skin care regime.

SPRING MAKE UP

GUERLAIN SPRING MAKE UP COLLECTION AND NEW MAC BRUSHES

There are loads of exciting make up collection for Spring/Summer season but it was the Guerlain range that caught my attention. I kept going back to the website and looking at the collection closely (and been discussing them to sis Nikki... hello sis :)). So, this afternoon, after my lunch date with my ever loving bf (:)), I thought I'd check them out and I did! Surprise surprise, I nearly walked out with the whole collection hahaha! They really are cute and very very exotique indeed!

Anyway, have a look at them and I hope you enjoy browsing through. I can't wait to play with them! I'm sooo excited!

Stubborn picture file... wouldn't rotate. Grrr!!!

What do you think about them?
HIT OR MISS?

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 :)
