Makeup

I hardly put on makeup when I was in Ipoh but after moving to Bangkok, I try my best to look good at work. Most of my colleagues dress well and these Thai ladies are very good in makeup!!! There was a time when our office had a transgender and she was very pretty. Seeing how pretty she was put a shame on myself, who’s a woman but didn’t put in enough effort in making myself look better!

I know that most stay-at-home moms won’t have the money for themselves, and trust me, I used to be one. Not all of us married rich husbands who allow you to swipe the cards as you pleased. But there is still a few means in getting good skincare and cosmetics, without blowing your budget. Personally, I try to read some blog reviews and do price comparison before buying. But once in a while, I will purchase online with cosmetics coupons. If the shipping fee is not too expensive, you might save a lot buying certain products online.

So, there is no excuses for not looking great as a woman. Even if our body shape change over time, especially if you have gone through child birth, years of sleep deprived, and ups and downs in marriage, but putting a little make up on and see how yourself transform into a better looking person will be able to lift up your mood! Next, try to put on a nice top, a pair of shorts and gorgeous shoes, grab a nice designer bag and out you go girl!

Who said a mother can’t have some fun?

Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner


Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner

I should be getting more high paying finance jobs soon. I’ve just spent a bomb on makeup, which I clearly hardly use. :P

Oh well, since I’ve bought Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner, I might as well blog about how I think about it. It’s not my first eye gel, and I’ve tried Kate and L’oreal previously. Of course, I haven’t tried the more popular ones like Mac and Bobbi Brown, but I could say that Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner works fine on me. At least it really stays on for long hours, and only smears by the end of the day. Even so, it’s not a lot. I have very oily eye lids too.

The brush works fine with me, but I wish that it’s a bit longer. Oh well, it comes with the eye gel, so I will just use it then.

In short, I might get another bottle next time, once this is finished. However, it should be able to last me a very long time.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Moisture Powder Stay-in-Place Makeup

Estee Lauder stay in place compact=

Yeap! You read it right. It’s Estee Lauder Double Wear Moisture Powder Stay-in-Place Makeup, in compact powder of course. I got it yesterday, and I love it! I should be checking out some acne treatment creams for someone, but I couldn’t help myself from checking this out.

It gives me a sheer finish when it’s used with a brush. But then, I didn’t get the brush and shall use it with a puff then.

I don’t feel dry on my face, but I haven’t tried it for 15 hours yet. I shall see if it works that long.

MAC Summer Collection (Tropical Coral)

Gosh, isn’t that gorgeous? Given a choice, I would rather spend the money buying the nice and limited edition blushes than spending on prenate vitamins with dha. I just have a soft spot for MAC!

Their makeup is always fabulous, and not to mention, affordable. Nonetheless, I still haven’t got the time to check them out. Hopefully, they are still available and not sold out.

Estee Lauder Stay-in-place Eye Pencil

I have a few eye crayon, eye liner gel and eye pencils in my drawer, but after some used, I will surely put them aside because I was not pleased with the results. I have oily eye lids, even if I look alright in the morning, and the eye liner works very well initially, but by the evening, my eye area would look all messed up.

But after numerous trials on Estee Lauder Stay-in-place Eye pencil, I’ve finally made up my mind in getting one last weekend. It does stay in place after long hours, and it claims to be long lasting for about 12 hours, so it works well for me during work days.

W3E0_311x311Ooops…I’ve forgotten to snap a photo of the eye pencil, so I took the photo from EsteeLauder.com. :P

I bought the one in Coffee, and it’s suitable for normal day use. The promoter kept telling me that I look more dramatic and sexy in Onyx. I am not used to seeing myself in smokey black liner on every day use, so I didn’t purchase it.

I bought another product from Estee Lauder too, but again, I haven’t snapped the photo. I’ve been quite forgetful lately, can’t even remember to do the best fat burning exercise, so let alone grabbing my camera. :P

But that will be updated in another post.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Shadow Creme

I love cream eye shadows but all works for me. Some creates too much grease after a while, and my eyes look so oily. Not to mention, I look so dirty and worn off.

But I love the Double Wear Stay-In-Place Shadow Creme by Estee Lauder. I’ve been using them for more than a week, and my eyes are still looking fresh after a long day at work. I bought Ivory Lace and Silver Leaf, and both works well for daily use. I shall get some more colors when I drop by the counter next time.

I won’t say that I look like a supermodel from magazines and books, but my eyes really look better with the stay-in-place shadow creme. So, I love it. :)

Estee Lauder CyberWhite EX Extra Brightening Concealer SPF35/PA++

I completely blew my shopping budget this month, and probably next! Firstly, I bought a few items from Jaspal’s Spring and Summer collection, and then spend a bomb at Estee Lauder again. :P Most guys might be shaking head at my purchases, but then, don’t say anything about it as I didn’t comment anything about your cars and e-cigarettes. :P

One of my latest items from Estee Lauder is the new Extra Brightening Concealer SPF35/PA++ by Estee Lauder CyberWhite EX collection. The foundation was quite good too but I didn’t get it. I’m still using my BB Cream by Cyber Colors, liquid foundation by MAC, and compact foundation by Shiseido – Maquillage Lasting Powdery UV Foundation SPF25.


Estee Lauder CyberWhite EX Extra Brightening Concealer SPF35/PA++

It’s best to use it with a concealer brush and you just need a thin layer on your eye area. I found that it’s quite light and it won’t form a lot of fine lines after an hour or 2. But maybe it’s best to use it alone, and don’t top a lot of loose powder on it which might create more fine lines.

It didn’t feel dry for my eye too, after a day at work. Besides that, I found that it’s a great eye base for cream eye shadow.

I guess this eye concealer works for me!

Shiseido MaquillAGE Lasting Powdery UV Foundation SPF25

vanity2

I’m still using Maybelline AngelFit foundation, but I felt like buying Shiseido – Maquillage Lasting Powdery UV Foundation SPF25 the other day. I will use Shiseido at home, while bring Maybelline around in my handbag. I feel that the texture is really good on my face, and it’s really long lasting, and I don’t see the greyish effect by the end of the day, as comparing to Maybelline.

It’s more pricey though, but it’s worth it. I can see myself dropping by Shiseido counter very soon to check out more of Shiseido MaquillAGE. If only they can just drop by the products to me, just ring my doorbell and I can just pick them up! But firstly, hubby will have to settle all the payments for me. LOL!

Shiseido MaquillAGE has quite a lot of nice products. I should check them out one by one.

Shiseido MAQuillAGE Face Creater 3D

vanity1

It’s been awhile since my last purchase at Shiseido, and I can’t even find my member card anymore! Anyway, I bought Shiseido MAQuillAGE Face Creater 3D the other day, and decided to give it a try. I took me awhile to learn how to use it properly, especially since I have very big face and it’s hard to create that 3D effect. :P

I can’t get the casing though as it’s out of stock. What a shame.

I was tempted to get the best face cream by Futuristic too, but then, reality hit me. It’s too expensive in Thailand, so let’s forget it. :P

Majolica

I like Majolica, especially the mascara. I’ve been using the mascara for more than a year, and change to a new one every few months. It has never failed me so I might continue to get another mascara from Majolica again soon.

What I really like about the website is the flash clip showing how to put in the colors. For a makeup idiot like me, it’s something useful. I hardly have time for makeup, so I’ve always ended up with only sunscreen, BB cream and loose powder. I wish to have more time for makeup, but the least I can do is applying mascara in the car! LOL!

Maybe I should get the eyeshadow from Majolica, they look pretty pleasant to me. I’m going to need it for my vacation next month. No, not one of those Branson vacation packages, but 2 trips to the beaches again. :)
