Happy New Year and Happy Valentine's Day everyone! (っ＾▿＾)۶٩(˘◡˘ )
I hope you guys enjoyed your holidays!❤（っ＾▿＾）
I am back here with some latest good news to share! I am sure you guys are aware that I am pretty much into beauty products. And I usually buy them at Sephora retail store for convenience due to the wide range of brands they have and many easy-to-access Sephora retail outlets.
This time, I am so glad to tell you guys that Sephora Singapore is now online at Sephora.sg and Luxola has been rebranded to Sephora.sg! Now I don't have to go all the way to their retail outlets when I am too busy and it makes it more convenient for me to purchase my beauty products online.
However, do take note that not all brands/products are available in stores. But just keep checking back, it might just be available online for purchase one day~ ;)) For now, majority of the brands are available for purchase online! And there are some brands that are exclusively available online (not found in stores), such as Alpha H.
Recently, they sent me a huge beauty box full of goodness! I really can't wait to open them up and try! After all these busy work days, I finally have time to open them up 1 by 1 and slowly look through the beauty products I've received. I am sure everybody love new stuff! ;))
There are brands like:
Nudestix, Marc Jacobs, Winky Lux, Laqa & Co, Balance Me, Alpha-H, Thisworks, Benefit, Mirenesse and Sephora! ☜(ˆ▿ˆc)
With so many new products to try, experiment and play with I decided to do something fun! I will challenge myself to use some of the beauty products to create a face of the day. ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ It's not easy to change your regular make up products all of a sudden because everything feels so new and colours are so different too.
ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっOh, I forgot to add in that, I have to do them within 20 mins (my usual morning make up routine time frame excluding prepping of face), because I am rushing for my shows right after this. Which means I don't have the time to think much about how I want to do it. lol.
So I decided to use all Marc Jacobs make up products to complete my FOTD (face of the day).
Sorry if you decided to spot some powder here and there on the palette, because I took the picture only after I finished using them for my make up. How silly of me right. ( ◡́.◡̀)
I even attempted to clean it away, but I made it worse. HAHAHA! (─‿‿─)

STYLE EYE-CON NO.3$59
PLUSH EYESHADOW (THE SHOE GAZER)
|
The style eyecon No.3 plush eyeshadow have this shimmery metallics effect especially the gold and blue color. The colours are great, and highly pigmented. I can clearly see the colour right after applying on my eyelids. 1 or 2 times application will do. After a whole day of stage performances, it doesn't fade away or crease much even though I perspired. However, I will prefer it to be slightly creamier instead of powdery so that it will look less crispy on my eyelids. This set of colours are definitely quite a challenge because of the blue. Instead of using it for the brow bone highlight, I decided to used it at the inner part of my eyelid nearest to the tears duct for a lighter and brighter look. The packaging is travel friendly and the design is super classy as well! (✿◠‿◠)
SHAMELESS BLUSH$56
BOLD POWDER BLUSH (TANTALIZING)
The shameless bold blush really lives up to it's name. The colour I have received is way more darker, mysterious, sexy, loud and mature as compared to my regular light baby pink colour blush. It also has high colour pigments and it's creamy enough to create a nice looking texture on the cheek. With just one time application is enough, the colour is super obvious. It really save me a lot of time! I don't have to keep applying just to get the colour out on my rather pale cheek.
Just like their Style Eye-Con No.3 Eyeshadow, the packaging for Shameless bold blush is equally travel friendly and the design is super classy as well! (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥
Next up! Marc Jacobs' Lipgloss!
enamored$39
I would say this is by far one of the best lipgloss because it's thick, smooth, moisturising and rich in color. Somehow it feels super comfortable on my lips. It is a really glossy and shiny gloss, in a non-sticky way. The color is also just right and pretty much flexible with a majority of make up looks. One application is good enough. Oh! Did I not mention that it also makes your lips look a little poutier (⊙.⊙(☉̃ₒ☉)⊙.⊙). I am sure it is not an illusion.
I am also using Sephora’s make up brushes which came with all the amazing beauty products!
The make up brushes I have with me are:
- PRO Angled contour (Blush Contouring #75)
-PRO shadow #14
- PRO Winged liner (Eyeliner) #37
- PRO Ultra-liquid foundation #83
I used Sephora's Pro Shadow #14 to apply the eye shadows and Sephora's Pro Angled contour (blush contouring) #75 for my cheeks!
The short synthetic hairs of the brushes feels really soft on my skin and it helps to blend in the make up really well. The hairs of the brushes are also densely packed and helps give a flawless finished look. Brushes are not heavy as well! I am sure you know how tiring it can get holding the brushes after a period of time. ;)
The above is a pictures of the brushes with the cap still on. I am pretty much sure that it is to protect the brush from wear and tear. It also helps to keep the brushes clean! It is very important to have clean brushes at all time so I am really thankful for these caps because now I can bring it out in my bag without worrying that the brushes might get damaged!
However, I do have to say that when I started opening up these brushes, they had plastic vacuum-sealed around each of the caps and it took me really long to peel them of. But on a second thought, actually it just means that the brushes are really well taken care of from any damaged. So good job Sephora!
Last but not least, the part that also surprised me is that the make up brushes are all engraved with my name! It makes me feel extra special and that these awesome brushes only belongs to me now. MUHAHAHA!
Thank you Sephora!
So after applying Marc Jacobs beauty products, here is the final look!
Bringing my make up out for work is no longer that inconvenient now because of make up products like Nudestix pencils which had everything in one "pencil case". Lip + cheek pencil crayon of 2 different colours (Whisper & Mystic), pencil sharpener and mirror on the case cover!
I probably can touch up my make up in the MRT as well with simple to use make up products like Nudestix.

And when I have time again, I want to try out Mirenesse's make up products!
Look at the unique colour they have for eyeliner crayon pencil, masacara and lip rouge! Their packaging & design is definitely attractive and catches my interest! I like how they attached the mini sharpener at the top of the eyeliner crayon pencil. So cute. HAHAHA!
Oh! And you see thisworks product in the picture below as well. It says, in transit muscle therapy.
I think I definitely need it because my whole body is literally aching like an old woman. LOL. By the way, it's roll on application, quite cool in my opinion because I have never use roll on before. HAHAHA! It's good because I don't need to get my hands all messed up with oily cream.
Last but not least, I believe prepping of face and looking after your face are very important to allow make up to better absorb and stay on your face. I am looking forward in trying out Alpha-H Liquid Gold and Balance Me Collagen Boost face cream soon.
Honestly speaking, I am still on the look out for suitable moisturising face cream after so many years of my life. lol. So, I am also going to try Balance Me Collagen Boost face cream once my old ones are done because apparently Balance Me face cream promotes natural collagen productions and many other benefits:
-Reduces fine lines
-Prevents signs of premature ageing
-Hydrates dry skin
-Soothes sensitive skin
I seldom hear moisturising face cream can promote natural collagen production. Sephora has definitely help introduced me to more beauty products which I didn't know of before. And I want to thank Sephora.sg for sending me so many awesome & interesting beauty products!
Do remember to check them out at their online store now!
Till then, talk to you guys again soon!
