No-frills Makeup

another neutral, subtle look since I only had just 90 mins of class today. and well yea, tuition after that. I think it's a waste of makeup to just doll up, snap photos and wash them off so, might as well experiment when I'm getting ready to go out :)

p/s: ignore my flyaways :p

I played with 5 colours for this look -- mostly bronze, gold and brown tones. again, all solely from the 88 original palette. along with gold shadow base, eyeliner and mascara.

I'm gonna be posting a lot of looks from this palette just to experiment and maximise the colours. not to highly promote this product, but I'm just implementing colours into my regime for a change cos I've always been a kohl-rimmed girl more or less, hahaha! besides that, I'd just like to share my learning/experimental journey -- with those who are interested of course! again, like I said, I'm gonna skip on this product review cos there's already a lot of raves from other makeup bloggers/youtubers on this palette. if u want an honest HONEST review about this palette from me, just leave a comment and I'll give my 5 cent's worth ;)

if u already have the palette and u wanna know which colours I used, do comment too <3 I'm not gonna list the colours down now becos there's no specific names to each colour, so u probably won't even know which I'm talking about.

anyway, I got this beach dress at a steal! I can't believe I ever went into hula&co, forever21 and Secret Island thoroughly looking for this kind of simple, white flowy tube dress, but it's so hard to find!

saw this going for $10 at a pushcart! I didn't have to think twice :p

yes, this is my retarded room and retarded bed with retarded goggles hanging at the back! lol. anyway this dress can be doubled up as a long skirt too :) wait, maybe it's the other way round. haha! the pushcart auntie told me it's a skirt :p

last but not least, I got rid of my funky green nails. and ugh, my nails are stained. still, I refuse to use a base coat just becos I don't have enough patience to wait and wait... and wait, for everything to dry properly.

threw on a fresh colour :) Couleur Inc in Purity. I love how the colour looks like cotton candy! I mentioned about this nail polish in an entry here. I applied two coats only, though I think it'll look more milkier with a third coat but I got too lazy.

ok done :) I sure hope tmr doesn't rain! please, dear god! goodnight now, I'm gonna watch a rerun of The Da Vinci Code now:) thanks for reading!

my first Face of the Day entry! didn't really wanna do a Look of the Day cos my hair was undone and I haven't decided what to wear so I was in some random pullover.

did a soft lilac subtle eyeshadow look today with the 88 palette. I am totally loving the colours and can't wait to experiment more! I actually have a literal notepad to jot down my favourite colour combis just so I'll remember them the next time I want to duplicate the same look ;)
