Feminine and Flawless Makeup

I like the makeup at Alberta Ferretti’s Fall runway.

“It’s a watered-down sixties look,” said Peter Philips of the heavily lined eyes and pale lips he created for Ferretti’s Fall collection. “But it’s less refined and more rock ‘n’ roll than Brigitte Bardot.”

The look was created with Chanel Pro Lumière Professional Finish Makeup SPF 15 for a semi-matte complexion, and highlighter was used on cheekbones and temples instead of blush. Not everyone can carry this look but you can go for that flawless skin with the makeup base.

Nonetheless, if you have dramatic eye makeup by lining the whole eye with Chanel Le Crayon Kohl Intense Eye Pencil in Black and curl the lashes with Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara Multi-Dimensionnel in Black, then you will have more focus on the eyes.

Do you notice that the lips are kind of pale too?

The models’ mouths were daubed with foundation instead of color. “It gave the lips a uniform tone that was neither too pink nor too pearly,” he said. (For a look that’s more real world than runway, Philips recommends using beige lip color on lips and adding a peach-hued blush to give cheeks more life.)

So, don’t just follow the look exactly unless you want to look sick and pale. I would definitely add some lip gloss on my lips!

Losing Weight

I came out with a simple plan of losing weight, and so far, I lost 2kg in 2 weeks. I try my best not to rely on top diet pills to gain faster result, and I found that it’s not that hard to lose weight if I do it naturally and take it easy. One thing for sure, I try not to weigh myself everyday as it’s quite discouraging if I can’t see the difference in 24 hours. I only weigh myself once a week, and I feel better seeing some slight improvement. LOL!

On top of that, I’m thinking of picking up belly dancing to tone up my tummy area. Dancing is always fun and I haven’t tried belly dance. Let’s see if I can join the class this week and get myself more exercise. Oh ya, I better remember to put on my Clarins’ Extra-Firming Body Care or Total Body Lift before I head for the class. LOL!

RevitaLash

I heard about this product from an actress on TV. She bought it from the plane, and she claimed that it’s good even if it’s quite costly. I read about RevitaLash again when I was browsing through some Japanese magazines, so this thing must be really hot? I haven’t seen it being sold anywhere in Malaysia, or have I missed it?

It’s actually an eyelash conditioner that will nourish the lashes to make them look longer and thicker. I really need something like this as my lashes are too fine, I can’t live without mascara. Besides that, I permed my lashes, so they are quite brittle now. RevitaLash might moisturize my lash and keep them in healthier shape.

However, this product is quite expensive. I found that it’s selling at UDS150 from some website, so I wonder how many life insurance reviews I need to write to fork out that money? Of course, I can just swipe with hubby’s card and get it online but I prefer not to. I still want to find out if it’s available in Malaysia. Don’t you want to try it out first?
