My First FOTD!

Posted on October 11, 2008 by plue

I am feeling a little hardworking today and of course, being able to buy so many stuff recently makes me itch and twitch needing to test them out!

And because it was raining heavily just now, so I did a super simple + quick FOTD.

Image quality isn’t very good and I suck at taking pictures, so please bear with me okay? And please, ignore the bushy brows! I don’t know how to do them! >_<

Hee~ Here goes!

Face looking a little patchy, and small bumps on the forehead.

Tone is quite even right now, aye? Looking better I hope?

ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF15 in Watermelon
The colour is a bit more coral-pink than purplish-red that you see in picture.

General review for the items I use:

Avon Mousse Blusher – good pigmentation, creamy and smooth. Easy to blend. I use 2 swipes per cheek.

Avon Mousse Eyeshadow in Smooth Peach – Very sheer. Colour can be hardly seen even though layer a few times. Creamy and smooth. Easy to blend. No creasing.

Avon Mousse Eyeshadow in Velvet Taupe - Pigmentation is better than Smooth Peach. Creamy and smooth. Easy to blend. No creasing.

Avon True Luminous Liquid Foundation in Beige Ochre – matches my skintone quite well, coverage sheer to medium. Not drying. Easy to blend.

Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Neo – Lenghtens very well! Did not make my lashes droopy. It seems like it volumizes a little too. Not clumpy.

MAD Indelible Waterproof Gel Line in Marcasite – a beautiful grayish blue with slight hint of shimmer. Waterproof. A little dry but still okay.

Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer in CIA - colour a little too light, but blendable. Feels a little creamy

ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF15 in Watermelon – Good pigmentation, not sticky, looks natural on the lips.

The ELF lippie and the Avon Mousse Blush looks very nice! You have such flawless skin!!

Hmm… for your brows, maybe you get them professionally shaped or try threading. I heard that the latter is especially good at producing neat, shapely brows!

What does FOTD mean anyway?

With flash it seems like your foundation is a bit too light for your skin- but all in all not too bad!

Hey Plue, I’m using the Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Neo today as well! It can get a little clumpy on me and I usually use a eye lash comb after the mascara has dried to get rid of clumps. Agree that it does not weigh down one’s lashes!

Ooh..I’ve seen many beauty bloggers raving about Too Faced Shadow Insurance and has been lemming to try it as well! But my UDPP has lotsa more left

hello Plue. thanks for all the fantastic reviews. i’ll definitely drop by more often =)

that eyeliner was definitely my first and last item from sasa. was a newbie to makeup back then and that was my first eyeliner.

anyway, u can get ur brows done at shu uemura. about RM20 to RM25 i think, depending on how “bushy” ur brows are. if not, threading in Bangsar Telawi costs only RM5, although i dont know the exact place.

cant wait for ur reviews on MJ products =)

Hi Yukaeshi,

FOTD = Face of The Day

Yeah, with flash it washes my foundation colour out, but make the eye colour and blush and lippie more prominent… without flash my foundation looks alright… i check in mirror, it looks fine >_< hating flash…

and thanks for the compliments!

do drop by again ya! ^_^

cheers,
plue
