Trying out E.L.F! and diy silky smooth hands!

I finally tried the E.L.F eyeshadow i got last week. I used the really dark smokey gray! I wore it in the day to work so i didn't want to go all out with the other black and all so i paired it with pink and a dark purple.
What i used:

Eyes:
First i used 1 from dior all over the lid. Then i lined my eyes with MUFE. Then using an angled brush i lined the top lash line and 3/4 of the bottom lashes with the E.L.F. dark gray (sorry i dont know the name... it doesnt have one??). Then i used 2 from the dior palette on the outer "v" of the eye and the bottom 3/4 of the lash line. I used the E.L.F. shadow brush to blend everything together.
Lined with liquid liner, and scara!

Face:
concealed with Guerlain and used Laura Mercier garden mosaic bloc for cheeks and highlight!

Kinda looks like the other purple smokey eye i did be4 but this is a little bit more dramatic and defined :P
Now onto hands!! I work in a profession where i always have to wash my hands.... and plus due to pandemic outbreak of swine flu i think everyones been washing their hands more. The more we wash our hands the more natural oils we wash away thus drying our hands up and they look all gross and old! I have found a super cheap diy method to make my hands smooth and moist :D!

Ingredients:
- pair of gloves any old gloves will work
- vaseline
- any hand cream
SO basically all u do is swab a big swab of vaseline and mix it with hand cream. Then before you sleep put gloves on. The next morning u will have silky smooth hands!!

OH YAH! OMG!! I finally found a pencil sharpener that works with my MUFE liner! The 1$ E.L.F. one is awesome!

thats it for now! :D I took 8hrs of CPR 2day and it was worse than work! >< i like fell asleep! hahaha

Guerlain Issima Precious Light Smoothing Illuminator




I got this at Sephora for at least 50$cdn, which is quite $$ 1.5ml >
What it claims: it hides imperfections, while lighting up and reviving your complexion. It is also formulated like a skincare product to smooth, hydrate and diminish dark areas formed by fine lines, dark circles and blemishes. the ultimate touch of radiance.

What it ACTUALLY does: hides imperfections fairly well. I was using Stila perfect concealer before and I like this much better than Stila. Its thicker than Stila and covers better. It also does illuminate the eye area, it makes it look brighter and more awake.

Verdict: Super luv it! however it is quite $$ for 1.5ml so probably wont use it every single day. But certainly worth the splurge cuz it does work! Not quite sure about the anti-aging part but the concealer part is great! :D

What i used today:
- P&J foundation
- Fresh Twilight
- Guerlain precious light enlumineur
- Dior stylish move palette
- Chanel 44 Narcisse blush
- MAC HK Tippy blush
I tried using both blushes together and it turned out pretty nice, the Narcisse made the Tippy not soooo bright pink

Heres a pic of the look hehe and my candy!! Im totally addicted to this candy! :D!!


Did my nails again, did a gold french dont super like it thou - the gold just looks like a really off off off white! So prob will change it soon!

Sephora + Mac Haul :D

Went for sushi today cuz I was sooo bummed i didnt getta try shibuya in LV ><><... only way to make myself feel better is that it was 130$ per person to eat! so i guess i saved? but i had traditional but still yummi sushi 2day with sake, beef tataki, beef tongue and grilled fish :D
I went shopping be4 sushi and made quite a big purchase >< So lets begin with the bling bling HK powder! I have been eyeing it ever since it came out! it is sooo pretty!! but was just too $$! but :D i got it as a gift hehe so neways! its sooo pretty! I got the lighest color - light medium i think its called. The texture is not too bad but the mirror doesnt seem to be like a real mirror? Its not that clear and its quite small...however, i think i honestly just bought it for the crystals and hk hahaha!
Next up is the dior palette which i thought was really pretty... but kinda pricey... well depends how u look at it. It was i think $56? for 5 colors. i have had a purple/plummy fetish for a while maybe because plums look soo great on azns?? any azn? I got the palette 970 "Stylish Move". I did swatches of 609 "Earth Reflection", 809 "Petal Shine" and 970 "Stylish Move" (left to right). I was torn between 809 and 970, but finally picked 970 better because it had a really nice dark plum color for lining and smokey eyes rather then just ALL light colors.

and yes i do have manly hands ><
The colors are lighter in the picture due to flash
K enough for now Ill review them when i try them over the weekend or something :P. Still gotta try the P&J foundation... i forgot to do that 2day :P. Going to nap... gotta wake up at 5am tom morning ><
