No-frills Makeup

I've been wearing a lot of this look, just switching up the colours on my waterline for that pop of colour. For this particular look that I photographed, I had purple on (UD's 24/7 Liner in Ransom). This eyeshadow look is very versatile. It looks nice with electric blue, lime green or just brown.

I would say that this classic eyeshadow look is like the "french manicure to your eyes" - minimalist, polished and never go out of style ;) And the "twist" I was referring to in the title, is that pop of purple! I'm sure you've already gotten it by now & I'm just rambling unneccessarily... :p

These are the base products I used, and currently in love with at the mo. The two products on the right are: Proof 10 Eye Primer & L'oreal True Match Concealer (the fonts have rubbed off after so long! hahah). I am excited to review the Baby Bloom Makeup Base from Holika Holika (extreme left), but I'll save that for another entry!

I used my 88 warm palette for this eye look, E.l.f studio blush in Peachy Keen & Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Fuschia. The rest are my staple items.

And matchy matchy nails! The Face Shop BK902.

I didn't paint this on especially to match my dress. I had it on for quite some time, hence the chipping. And I figured it so easy to get perfectly square nails - just use a toe clipper! I've heard about that tip before, but I never knew it makes so much difference compared to using the regular, smaller clippers for fingernails. So I never bothered buying! But you should try it, it cuts straighter!

Hope you have had a good weekend & ready to start a brand new week! I'm excited for raya! :) Have a good week all!

Before I go on, I apologise for the glaring flash on some photos cos I took the pictures at night. I always wanna make it a point to take good photographs! But I've been so busy in the afternoons :(

So, these are the humble buys I brought over from my Korea Summer Abroad trip! It's seriously not many, considering I was in the birthplace of cosmetics & beauty. I only bought stuff that I know I would wear. I won't be providing swatches/reviews in this entry cos there's too many products at one shot. I'll just be mainly listing down the product names, most of which are from Holika Holika, Tony Moly & Etude House.

L-R: Holika Holika Peach Girl BB Cream, Holika Holika Baby Bloom Base, Skin Food Salmon Dark Circle Concealer, Holika Holika Pressed Powder, The Face Shop Face it Mascara, Etude House Oh~ my Eye Lash mascara, Tony Moly Lip Tint, Etude House Proof 10 Aqua Tint & Tony Moly Party Lover Liquid Eyeliner

I bought a lot of nail polishes too, but I'll feature them along as I have them on my nails. I don't have the patience to do the countless swatching and then removing :O 

I am pretty sure almost all of these products are available in Singapore too, albeit the much steeper prices! I've been loving and religiously using some of these products. I will post another entry on my daily base makeup using some of these stuff. I won't be reviewing/swatching on every single one though, unless I really have something to say about it, or if any one of you request for it! :)

And a couple of nail designs I was doing while bored in my dorm abroad!

This nude, malt colour (Etude House) looks nice on its own, doesn't it?

But look at this! Intricate flower stickers from EH as well. I am not sure if these stickers are available in Sg though.
