FOTD & Some Ramblings

Posted by plue | FOTD, me, updates | Saturday 21 November 2009 1:40 pm

Sorry dearies, been way too long since my last post! :D

Had a lovely lovely weekend!

First I wanna thank everyone for the birthday wishes in Twitter, Plurk, Facebook, SMS, phone calls, MSN, Yahoo Messenger and Gtalk! You all have made my day, I was smiling like non stop!

And of course, thank you Xin and Connie for the birthday dinner! And the presents too! *hugs*

And thanks to the BF who took me to Cafe Cafe (although I asked silly questions when we were there) and surprising me with a bouquet of red roses!

My birthday gift to myself? I just want a really long weekend and I got it! I just got back to KL just a few days ago :D With that said, I always try to take leave/ skip school on my birthday :D Every year, without fail.

Selina only did the foundation for me. The rest I did them at home :) And yes, the shine on my nose is OIL. LOL.

Items used:

Shu Uemura Fluid Makeup Base (not sure about the name, but it’s the new product)
Shu Uemura Nobara Cream Stick Foundation in 564
Shu Uemura loose powder
MAC mineralized blush in Conjure Up
Esprique Precious T-6 eye palette
Heroine Make @ Kiss Me Long & Curl Mascara
Avon Cynthia Rowley lipgloss in Rose Petal (can’t remember already the exact colour)

I wore the Esprique Precious T-6 palette for a few days straight. One for the birthday dinner with Xin and Connie, my birthday dinner with the BF and some random outing when I was away for the weekend. I have never used a palette continuously and when I do, it’s because the palette is already in my favourite list!

T-6 is a must have palette, for me that is, because of the gorgeous colour. It can be a purple with a green tinge, or a chocolatey pink with a gold sheen, it’s hard to describe the colour because I don’t know how to! But it’s absolutely gorgeous! You can use this palette for a subtle day look, or use the dark green liner and make it a night look! It’s so easy to use! The texture, although it’s powder but goes on real smooth. Buttery smooth! Normal brushes might not pick up the colour well, it might be too sheer, but with the sponge tip applicator, no problem at all! I did my eye makeup with the sponge tip that came with the palette. T-6 is a little sheer, but you can always layer it on.

I wore this without a base and it lasted on me about 5 hours before it starts to smudge (colour shifting places a bit). It didn’t bother me because it wasn’t noticeable :) With a base, I reckon it could stay on longer.

About Shu Uemura Nobara Cream Stick, I have to say it’s my perfect match of colour! Oil control is pretty weak, so I need to use an oil-control makeup base to prolong the sebum secretion time.  But other than the need to blot once or twice, I didn’t need to do any touch up at all! No colour shifting or such, plus it conceals real well :D Good for me!

By the way, I couldn’t buy th Shu Uemura Tsumori Chisato pouch (the small one) because Shu Uemura didn’t allow the sales. I wonder why… Anyone knows why? Are they going to make it a GWP? Like Singapore and Taiwan? Noooooooooo!!!!

Sigh. I need to go now! Rambling’s done over and out!

Have a lovely weekend!
