NYX Eyeshadow Trio (Yelow Pearl/Antique Gold/Golden)

So i have been on the lookout for THE perfect gold eyeshadow...so i took the chance with this NYX eyeshadow trio (rm21 excl postage)

i could only look at the picture of the color on the website and i cant really be sure whether it is the gold i want...

and lucky for me...it is QUITE near to what i have in mind =)

taken without flash

my search for the gold e/s is almost over! 'x' i m referring to the middle color...the antique gold. all 3 colors are shimmery . i would have done swatches on my hand but it is not easy to take pictures of swatches with a dslr...so i gave up 'x'

here's another pic with flash...but the focus is out...and i m lazy to retake the photo, so you'll just have to make do with this. the most important thing is MY gold color is in focus! :D

ELF Bronzing Powder, Blush Brush and Eye Primer

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
E.L.F. Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder (in Luminance)
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I don't particularly think of this as a bronzing powder. To me, its more like a glowy powder to give your cheeks that light reflecting effect :P

Perhaps i should get it in a darker tone in order for this to work as a bronzer for me

But i did try it with blush and it gives my blush a more glowy effect :D Much like what a shimmery blush would do...only less shimmery which is good

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
E.L.F. Blushing,Bronzing and Blending Brush
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

It's actually an angled blush brush...i find it a little scratchy :(

BUT...it allows me to apply blush more evenly and naturally!

Now i know the importance of using an angled blush for brush! Perhaps i should invest more in a better brush :P

ELF Studio Eye Primer & Liner Sealer
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I think this is a special item...

It is an eye primer on one side...

and a liner sealer on the other end...

If you are wondering what's a liner sealer, it actually allows you to turn your eyeshadow into eye liner. I have not tried it yet tho :P

But i have tried the eye primer...it does makes my e/s color more vivid and more staying power. Tho i cant say for sure whether its the best of eye primer cos this is my first! :)

p/s all ELF items at rm8(USD1) and ELF studio at RM18(USD3)

Coastal Scents Pink Kabuki and Tapered Crease

Have been hearing good reviews of Coastal Scents brushes for a while now...and this is my first ever Coastal Scents brush purchase :)

I just love this PINK Kabuki!

So pretty rite! :)

its a pity it isnt mine tho :( i already have a kabuki brush from Everydayminerals so i dont have enough reason to get another kabuki just bcos it is pink! *sobs*

anyway ... it costs RM29

and i bought a tapered crease brush which is said to be the equivalent of MAC 226...im not sure cos i never own any MAC brushes =\

its a fluffy brush but actually i find it to be a little scratchy :(

have yet to find time to experiment with it

Yes!!! My E.L.F. spree finally arrived! :D

In case u dono, ELF is a brand in US selling quality cosmetics at only $1 each!!! can u believe it??? But of cos after conversion and shipping charges etc etc...its RM8 per item. But still cheap rite!!! :)

Look at my stuff...all nicely bubble wrapped!

wahaha...im beginning to become a makeup junkie...i keep on collect makeup and i cant use them as fast as i buy them 'x'

I bought : e.l.f. studio eye primer and liner sealer,total face brush,eye widener,eye brightening eyeliner (in ash), healthy glow bronzing powder (in luminance) and a bronzing,blending,blushing brush

It may seem like a lot in the pic...cos i was sharing postage with my sis :P

If you are wondering how i bought these cosmetics from US, i bought them from sgdrugstore from lowyat.net...really a recommended seller! and he is actually a dude! =)
fancy a dude doing all these for us ladies! haha

How I Organize My Mineral Makeup Jars

I have been looking for a plastic casing with small little compartments in it for quite some time to store my mineral jars...I have managed to come up with quite a collection of jars that i really need a proper way to store all of them =)

So i found this in Jusco...

Its actually a little organizer for your stationaries and such...for only RM9.90! (there was another 10% disc =)

and it came with these little plastic thing for u to reorganize the space inside, if you want to...

so i arranged my minerals by foundation,blushes,concealers and eyeshadow colors! :D

For foundation, So far i have :

Top to bottom - left to right : Medium, Soft butter peach-full jar (my fav),pink tan,winged butter,buttered tan, light, ivory (2nd fav :P),light medium,soft butter peach (this is sample jar) and golden fair

My collection of blushes and bronzer:

Top to bottom : soft bronzer,jingle bells, pink ribbon and natural!


Concealers:

Top to bottom : Aussie perk me up (good for undereye bags and circles),sunlight and pearl mint (use it for primer)

Eyeshadows!

Top to bottom : scented candles, floating feathers (can use as underbrow highlighter or base),sleigh ride,christmas carol, silver bells

and lastly...

Baby bath e/s color and my one and only finishing powder from EDM :)

I really felt so happy and proud of myself for organizing my minerals that way ... and i was admiring them n tot i should also store some of my eye pigments that way too and look what happened =_=

I had to take out all the jars and wash away the pink color pigment ..grrrrr
