The Summer Chick with Shiseido

Hello gorgeous followers!
So, here's another look using the Shiseido eye shadow quad that I did mention on my previous blogpost.
I know summer is almost over now that I've come up with an idea for a summer look. The palette's colors are so perfect for summer.
But hey! You can wear these eye shadow colors anytime of the year, right?

let's take a closer look:
I know! My skin is not really good right now due to stress LOL.

I find this look very refreshing. The eye shadows used are very light, silky and shimmery, that's why I prefer a bold matte lip color for this look.


Stay pretty as always, ladies!

Playing green using Shiseido + dupe

It's good to have the chance to post here on my beauty blog once again.
I know y'all have plans for the long weekend, guys, but me, I'd rather stay home and catch up with my blogs (kinda depressing huh?). But that's just what I wanna do now. I might change my mind later :D

Anyways, on my previous blogpost, I did mention there that I'll be posting some new looks using the Shiseido palettes, and this is the new one.
I'm really in love with the color green for the eyes. It really suites my brown eyes. Green eye shadows are perfect for everyday wear, and it's also good for evening events.



I just used the light shade of green on my eyelids and a darker shade of green, almost similar to emerald green on my crease.

*PRODUCTS USED*
Face:
  • Huroo Huroo Highlight Pop Twist Color Base
  • Missha MISA Cho Bo Yang BB cream
  • Shiseido The Make Up cream foundation in Natural Fair Ivory
  • Revlon Beyond Natural blushing powder
Eyes:
  • Etude House Proof 10 eye primer
  • Shiseido The Make Up Silky eye shadow quad in Dusk to dawn
*eye shadows used
  • Shiseido The Make Up Accentuating color (for eyes) in Pink Pearl
  • Lancome matte eye shadow in Lezard (dark brown)
  • Dolly Wink Volume Mascara
  • Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner in Black
Lips:
  • Shiseido lip palette

I know Shiseido is one hell expensive make up and it's not available in most countries, that's why I have a dupe for the eye shadow that I used.

That's right! It's the ELF Eyeshadow Duo in Olive.


But in here is just the light green eye shadow. The silky shimmering effect is exactly the same, however the ELF one is a bit darker compared to the Shiseido one, and the best part is, they have the same lasting effect on the eyelids when used with an eye primer.


...and that's all for this look.
I'll be posting more looks soon using the Shiseido make up palettes and I'll also try my best to find dupes :)

'till next post! - k*

Shiseido LOVE

Hi followers!
Forgive me if I haven't been posting a lot lately on my beauty blog. I was just busy with my review for the boards and Sunday is just my free day.
So, enough chit-chat for now. Last month, my cousin from HK arrived and gave me these awesome make up from Shiseido.

Basically, I've got Shiseido The Makeup Brilliant Color Palette



 Contains 4 shimmery eye shadows and 4 lip glosses


Shiseido The Makeup Silky Eye Shadow Quad in Dusk to Dawn

I love the colors in this palette! Perfect for brown eyes :)

Shiseido The Makeup Accentuating Color (for eyes) in Pink Pearl


 Shiseido Lip Gloss Palette


...and Shiseido The Makeup Cream Foundation in Natural Fair Ivory

A friend of mine also gave me this lipstick from Mary Kate and Ashley.
It's Illuminating Lips in Illuminating Latte with free lip gloss








*swatched*

It's actually a frosted lip color. Perfect for a night-out. Just as what I've expected from the brand of Mary Kate and Ashley's. BTW, this is my very first lipstick from their brand.

...and that sums up just about everything that's added in my make up collection. Looks will be posted as soon as I will have time.
 If you have tried any of these products, please let me know, because trust me, it's not everyday that I get to see these brands in malls, plus Shiseido is so expensive.
