Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quad

September 25, 2009September 25, 2009 sweet surrender No Comments

These two Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quads were given to me by Ann as my birthday present. There’re two other products, will write about them some other time. Thanks girl!

Played around with them for sure. Here are the results even though the effects aren’t that obvious, tried hard to capture the colours but didn’t quite get them. The colours are much more obvious in real life.

This is Purple Haze Quad. Love the colours. Finally got dark shades for my eyeshadow collection.

For highlighting the brow bone, I used lilac(top left).

For the inner lid and over half of the upper lid, I used amethyst(bottom left). I applied more inner eyelid but less intense for the upper eyelid

For the overall upper lid, I swept some purple(top right) over the middle and blend it to both ends, so that it has fading effect. At the same time, also blended the edges of amethyst with purple so that it won’t look as if there’s obvious line that separate both colours.

I tried to line my upper lash line with black ice(bottom right) but failed, so I just smudge it to blend with amethyst. I managed to line my lower lash line. However, not long after that, the colour was gone. Better stick to eyeliner.

Next, this is the Romantic Quad. I love the colours too even though blue eyeshadow is something I don’t really like because when it’s on my skin, it looked quite dirty, doesn’t seem like blue but for this it’s not that bad.

For highlight, I used white gold(top left). I also applied a bit at the inner corner of my eye to make the eye brighter and open up.

I decided to use both minty(top right) and lagoon(bottom left) for inner and upper lid. Minty on the left, lagoon on the right. Blended both the colour in the middle.

I tried to line metal rose to the upper lash line but failed also so I just blended it in with minty and lagoon. I just lined the lower lash line with it to define the eye. The pink is surprising a very nice colour but again it’s gone not long after that.

The final result, no other make up on except eye shadows and a bit of mascara. Ignore my skin condition, having terrible skin these days. ARG!

Left: Purple Haze.
Right: Romantic.

Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.3: Beaches @ Sentosa

September 12, 2009September 13, 2009 sweet surrender No Comments

This is the last part of Sentosa. It’s all about the beaches. There were 3 beaches but we only went to 2 of them, Siloso and Palawan. Skipped Tanjong coz getting lazy and tired already.

Siloso beach… Camwhored quite a fair bit but I just looked horrible in most photos. I felt that I’m not comfortable in front of cameras anymore unless I’m the one taking my own photos. I guess it’s because gone are those days that I kept having cameras pointing all over me to take my photos and I would be so natural in responding to them. Now… I feel awkward. A sign of feeling old? OH NO! Hahaha…

At Siloso, you can play volleyball there.

Views of Siloso.

Rasa Sentosa Resort.

Then we went to the Beach Station and caught another ride to Palawan Beach. The purple vehicle is one of the rides that send you to those beaches.

There’s a suspension bridge that links beach-goers to the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia (and also Asia’s closest point to the Equator). AIKS! I only know now after checking out Sentosa official website! If I knew back then I would have cross it! Was too lazy to walk that time and thought it was nothing special but a bridge.

Having great time at the beach with the family. Actually this is just a section of the actual photo. This is the bottom part of the photo.

Here…

This is the top part of the photo. After seeing this kind of view from both beaches, I some how started to appreciate our beaches here better. You don’t get this kind of view at our beaches here.

Honestly, I don’t want my children to grow up seeing or playing at beach with such view. Sorry if I offended some people as to me, a beach should be a place that you see the sea and sky join together with no other objects obstructing it except islands or some small boats.

Love beers? Wanna chill out? Bora Bora Beach Bar is the place you can do so. I fell on my knee here. Bruised my knee and cut my right foot when I lost my balance stepping on the section between the real sand and hard surface covered with sand. Mind you, these seats here are only for customers of the bar, you will get to sit here if you order something here. It’s not for the public. I would have take my time chilling out here if I’m with my darling and on a no fuss and relaxing trip but nuh-uh… That’s not the case.

Next… You can have the option of clicking on to read more or skip it. Let me warn you first, I’m not responsible if you loss your appetite

Garnier Aqua Defense Essence

August 4, 2009August 5, 2009 sweet surrender 4 Comments

I’m running out of moisturiser and don’t have money to splurge on Clinique Dramatically Difference Gel so I had to make do with cheaper brands. After doing some research, I decided to go for Garnier Aqua Defense Essence, it’s only RM19+ for 50ml.

This is new product range from Garnier.

With the hazy, hot and humid weather now, it helps cool me down a bit *LOL* The gel is so cooling, I love the cooling sensation after applying it. When I place my palm on my face after applying it, I can feel the coolness on my palm. It is so easy to spread on the face and absorb very quickly. I just can’t wait for my next face wash so that I can apply it to my face. I like the scent too, very refreshing green apple scent.

Garnier Aqua Defense contains fruit water and Vitamin E. These two ingredients protect and defend the skin from external aggressions and free radicals. That’s what it stated on the box ;p

The spoke person for range of product is Crystal Liu Yi Fei, a Chinese actress. For your information, Garnier Aqua Defense Essence made in China.

If you have very dry skin, you can go for the gel cream. Garnier Aqua Defense Essence is suitable for oily skin especially my t-zone. As for my cheek, I just apply more on them ;p My face feels so soft and hydrated after using it but my t-zone oiliness problem still remain the same.

The only thing I don’t like is the jar, very heavy jar and you know how easy we can contaminate the whole jar when we dip our finger in to get the gel? That’s the down side of it.

Clinique Full Potential Lips

July 27, 2009July 27, 2009 sweet surrender No Comments

I’m given with Clinique Full Potential Lips lip gloss when I purchased some Clinique products few months back.

I used to like lip gloss a lot but I’m not really into it now because my lips will surely peel few hours later. I don’t know why. I don’t remember when it started also. So now, I seldom use gloss, only once in a blue moon. I had tried several brands and they all gave me this same problem. Hmmm… Anybody know why? Do you have such problem?

I was thinking of testing Clinique Full Potential Lips to see whether the same thing will happen or not, sadly it did happen too. Hmm… I cannot use gloss! I never apply the gloss alone, I will make sure I have a coat of clear lip balm on before applying coloured lips products.

Anyway, let’s see the effect:

Left: No gloss, only lip balm.
Right: It claims that it will plump and shine. So… What do you think? It does live up to the claim. The colour I have is Cherry Bomb (09), it’s so red in the tube but when applied, the colour just didn’t show.

Oh… It did sting a bit when I applied, first lip gloss I used that has such effect. It also has slightly minty smell/taste to it.

I got this from Clinique’s website and the last 2 sentences did give me a shock hehehe… Really?!?! Hmm…

Triple-action plumping lip gloss instantly and gently creates a fuller, lusher look. The plush effect lingers up to 6 hours. With continued use, peptides prompt skin’s natural collagen production to foster a smoother, more defined look. Builds moisture cushion and comforts lips, too.

That’s the end of my simple review of Clinique Full Potential Lips. Just like any other lip gloss, I’ll use it once in a while when I’m in the mood even though knowing that after using lip gloss my lips will peel. Girls… Rather suffer for vanity ;p

Rose Quartz Point Pendant

July 25, 2009July 25, 2009 sweet surrender 9 Comments

I got this on Monday, was shocked it’s from eworldgift.com. I thought they made a mistake as I had already got my free pendant. I opened up the envelope and found out that it’s a thank you gift because I blogged about it and got people to sign up to the website.

I was thinking it might be the same as those free pendants that many people are getting but how wrong I was.

I manipulated the photo to make the crystal stands out even more. The pointy end was really sharp! Seriously sharp! You can stab people with it hahaha… It’s an hexagon with sharp pointy end. Even the edges of the hexagon are sharp. WOW!

Rose quartz: Unconditional love and infinite peace. Good for heart chakra, for attracting love and relationship. Strengthens circulatory system and release impurities from the body fluids. Heals kidneys and adrenal, and alleviates vertigo.

With such shape and with above explanation, I will make my own conclusion on this crystal:
Attracting love and relationship, I would interpret it as relationship with any human be it love, friendship or family. With such pointy and sharp ends, it will mean shooing away those bad(evil) relationships that will hurt me and bring in the good ones for me.

Logic or not? ;p

By the way, the free pendant giveaway is still available, so quickly get yours now!
