I'm back with another eye tutorial! This time I did not have enough time to take pictures of each step like I did in my last eye makeup tutorial but this one is so simple, I promise!
"Smokey eye" is a type of technique you use to apply eyeshadow. You
can use any colours you like and still have a smokey eye effect. There
are two smokey eye techniques, I demonstrated the first type in my Simple Soft Neutral Smokey Eye For Hooded/Asian Eyes
post, where you smoke-out your outer corner of your eyes (outer V). Today I will show you the second way
of creating a smokey eye. Keep reading if you like what you see =]
I'm looking for...

Glymm Box: January 2012 and Product Reviews
Saturday, October 22, 2011
Haul: Sept-Oct Glymm Boxes + brief thoughts on each item =]
Alrighty, I'm so far behind on these but you guys know why...school is abusing me! Anyways, I haven't been experimenting with these products yet because I literally have 15 min in the morning and I'm out of the house. So instead of giving a review of each product that I got in the Glymm Box like I usually do, I will just show you just what I got and briefly talking about the ones I did try at least once.
Don't know what a Glymm Box is? Find out on my August Glymm Box or go to glymm.com
SEPTEMBER GLYMM BOX
SEPTEMBER GLYMM BOX

| *CLICK TO ENLARGE* Try these samples and buy them at Glymm's online boutique. You can use the points you accumulate =] You can also give your friends your referral link so that you can earn points! Feel free to use my referral link but of course you don't have to! But if you do, let me know because the system is messed up and they have to manually add the points for you =S |

| This is was I see when I opened the wrappings! =D |

| Oscar De La Renta-Esprit d'Oscar Nice floral scent, but I rarely change my perfume scent. Dislike using perfume samples that do not come in a spritz bottle =[ |
![]() |
| They always include these cute jar of Jelly Belly!! I got Grape and Coconut flavours =D |
Overall impression on September's Glymm Box is good, most of the products were a fail for me but the blush and makeup bag made it up for me. I loveeeee BLUSHES!! some of you may already know ;)
Now onto...
OCTOBER GLYMM BOX
![]() |
| *CLICK TO ENLARGE* The external box they use to ship Glymm Boxes have changed, if you refer back to my August Glymm Box, you can see that it used to be pink but this doesn't matter =P |

| Lise Watier-Lip Kiss Crayon Gloss in Melon Twist 71430 Full size product: Love this item because I wanted a read lippie. Although this is a "gloss" it actually looks like a lipstick because its super pigmented and glides on like butter but I need to apply a lipbalm underneath or else it feels a little bit dry! Smells so good too! Like Sour Candy! ;) Not a fan of the glitters thought, hard to wash off. Packaged exactly like NYX jumbo pencils. |
![]() |
| Caudalie Premier Cru Cream Cute 2ml sample, size of my pinky =) Light texture, moisturizing, leaves skin with a healthy glow/sheen =] Light citrus scent mixed with floral not a fan of this smell =[ |
![]() |
| Swatches See how pigmented the Lise Watier "gloss" is? It's soo weird how it feels like lipgloss but acts like a lipstick and smells like CANDY! Love it! |
![]() |
| Jelly Belly! Orange and Black for Halloween (don't know what flavour the black is probably licorice? but it's nasty!! no more please!) |
Overall, I was impressed with this box. I loved how there were so many makeup items in this box instead of skincare/nail polishes/hair products because Luxe Boxes takes care of that!
Did any of you get the GLymm Box? How do you like them so far? I hope you love them cuz I do!! It's like getting a Christmas/Birthday present every month! =D

testing: Haul/First Impression: Hong Kong/MACAU
Hey girls, sorry I'm posting this here as well as on my new blog but I THINK this blog is working again!!!! The updates are showing up a little later (4-6hrs delay) but I guess is better than annoying all of you to follow my new blog?? So I'm testing this for a few days and see if it's working or not.
If it's just delayed then I'll stay here (since my new blog updates are delayed too -_-; 3-4hrs delay)
If there are no updates on this blog at all then I will move to my new blog
Sorry everyone for all the hassle but I PROMISE I will make it up to you all (specially the 12 followers on my new blog =P)
~~~~~~~~~~
My friend went to Hong Kong and my Mister went to Macau (they went seperately and on different times) but they both came back with handful of gifts and souvenirs ^^, I asked them to buy some of the things shown below because it cost soo much more if I were to buy it here in Canada.... boooo and yes I paid them back with my own money! |
| My dear friend got me a set of contact lens case and a black iPhone4 hard case, THANK YOU and I asked her to her me get a set of BB cream samples and 2 silicone facial cleanser pads and a tool to make a donut bun in my hair (shown below, the tool was already in my hair =P I just couldn't wait to try it out!) |
| 1st one is very shimmery in real life, I hate it, don't think I will ever use it but still good for highlight in photography but not something I would use for an everyday look 4th is the only one with the closest shade to my skin tone but still too light and peachy =S Still have to try 2nd and 3rd on my entire face, no comment on it just yet but I don't think I will like it either because I hate having face makeup that doesn't match my natural skin tone or the rest of my body! : @ and these two looks too light and grey on the swatch |
| Blended out |
| Don't know the name to this thingy =P |
| Basically a sponge with a wire inside |
| Side view and yes, I'm wearing a top; tube top to be exact. |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NEXT: This is what my Mister got me form Macau/HK, his sister also got me a lot of giftsss/souvenirs =D
| Guerlain Meteorites powder and blush, another BB cream sample kit, NoirBlanc eyeshadow, Coach keychain and our Sony HX9V =] |
|
| Top: BB cream kit in black packaging Bottom: BB cream kit in pink packaging (shown above) -Only the third tube differs from each other |
| The black kit came with the BB Diamond Collection: The Prestige Beblish Balm instead of The Oriental BB cream |
| This is something else my Mister's sister got me =] NoirBlanc: S103 Deeply In Love |
| Sorry the colours are supper washed out, refer to the next picture for right colours |
| Looks pretty in the pan =] |
| ...but not in swatches .Super shimmery. No colour payoff. Lots of fall outs. |
| She also got me this, super pretty and shiny =] quiet heavy as well so I will only use it as a hand bag chain? instead of a key chain =] |

Review: ELF Cream Eyeliner (requested)
Fine fine fine.. I'll post something!!.. even if I'm super mad at blogger for not showing my updates on dashboard for the LONGEST time!! a month or so already? T_T.. anyone else experiencing the same problem? How can I resolve this? A fellow blogger told me that I can't fix it =[, does that mean it will always stay like this? =`[...I'm totally unmotivated to blog =[
Moreover, I have to pick out my courses for next year and it's pain in the tush! because it's my last year and I can't mess this up! I need to make sure I have the right courses and the right amount of credits so I've been slacking off a WHOLE lot......But I am pretty active on Twitter. Follow me there if you want small little updates, giveaways, freebies, awesome sales like 60% off ELF, food posts, mini hauls and quick tips and tricks on how to beautify yourself. Tweet me and I'll make sure I follow back =].
Okay, lets move on with this post. Tiffo wanted to know how I liked the ELF Cream Eyeliner when she saw it on my ELF haul here. Yes, it was a month ago!!!, I really am lazy, no? So here we go, read the captions below each picture for the Review =]
Overall,
PROS:
- The formula of the liner is very pigmented, and creamy therefore making the application super easy
- The brush that it came with is very soft to the touch but stiff enough to perfect a line of any thickness (maybe not a super thin line but still loveable to use it to tight line)
- Can easily do a winged eye-look
- Can easily reverse a mistake by wiping it because the staying power is not that good
- Affordable and suitable for beginners
- Would repurchase it just because it's so user friendly, inexpensive and works fine with a primer
CONS:
- Does not stay long
- Easily smudged
- Cute but over packaged product
- Brush is very short and tiny, can't be easily found in my makeup bag
Has anyone else tried this cream liner before? How do you like it? Any inexpensive primer alternatives (I just ordered their mineral eyeshadow primer which I heard is a dupe to the urban decay primer potion)?
Hope my problems gets resolved quickly or else you all might not see me smile anymore =[

| ELF Cream Eyeliner in Black, comes with a mini angled brush which I love! Buy it here $3 (but never checkout without a coupon code!) |

| With a primer: I used ELF's $1 eyelid primer, maybe it will stay even better if I used a better primer? Hope you can see a small amount of smudging on the lower outer corner of my eye, not too visible but it's there. |
