My base makeup routine

I do not put a lot of base makeup daily. The most lazy way I just use a sunscreen and then dust on powder to absorb whatever oil from the sunscreen.

This is my base routine when I feel more hardworking, just a little.

So this is my skin before any makeup,

Large pores at nose and also acne scars at chin.

I usually get acne before the time of the month, this is the scars left behind. Damn.

Minor dark eye circles with can be covered with a little foundation usually.

So let's get started

1. First I apply a makeup base to separate my skin with whatever base makeup I am gonna put on .

2. I will dab a little concealer on my acne scars with my MAC studio finish concealer in NC20. Best concealer ever.

3.I dust on a pressed powder, I use the ELF pressed powder (trying to finish it up and hit pan) to let my concealer stay.

4. Apply blush on apple of my cheeks.

That's pretty much all.

I do not put foundation on daily basis because I am lazy like that, I like to keep it natural and I think my skin is pretty much ok(?) and I find it pretty pointless to put too much to uni.

I do not mind minor base makeup and some neutrel or toned down eyeshadow, liner, mascara but bright colours with the glitters is too much.

Final skin finish

This is how I look to uni at times. Simple and presentable.

but I am gonna start next week with a vege diet. Every meal shall contain vegetables.

So excited!

I am so excited that what I hauled came.

My mum picked it up and showed me via skype.

First is the RMK jelly eyes items. Mine are not brand new.

I got the 2nd hand to try them out (but they are still in good condition) since I heard Fuzkittie raved about them before.

The first palette.

Shiny Beige Brown.

2nd palette. Natural Coral beige.

They are still in good condition according to my mum just the sponge tip applicators are used.

Well, those could be solved by washing them.

The last thing I picked out.

I ordered this all the way from Taiwan.

Thun

Thun!

Jill Stuart Blush Blossom in Romantic Sweet Pea.

Pretty princessy packaging.

I can't wait to go home and see it with my own eyes.

This blush cost about USD53 on retail.

You could get it on Imomoko.com but at a more expensive price of USD65.

First visit to MAC Russia.

About my first MAC visit in Russia.

So no matter how I can't get the salesgirl to help me because i could barely speak Russian and stuff like that.

MAC shop in Russia is surprisingly quiet. One or two customers at a time.

Price wise, well it is more expensive than Malaysia which is more expensive than the USA. So, go figure.

Here's a little something I got from the MAC shop. Just a back up of the

MAC's Mineralized skin finish naturals.

This product is really raved about. I personally love them too. They give such a pretty and natural finish. No the powder look.

My shade is in Light Medium.

Open up.

There's a plastic casing on top of it. I dont remember having it when I bought my old mineralized skinfinish natural.

The glorious price.

1200roubles. About USD42. Twice of the price in USA. =(

It cost around USD36 in Malaysia. Still expensive compared to US but better than Russia.

if you live in the US. Do buy MAC. They are priced really reasonable there and it is good quality. Worth the money. I would constantly haul MAC if I live in the US.

Here, I could only buy one time at a time.

Completed one item from my wishlist now.

Care. Eyes.

Just went to the beauty store to get dental floss and eye cream because little fine lines started to appear due to sleepness nights.

Had to study up to clear all my pending colloqs due to one week missing class. I didn't skip classes ofcourse. I have a really practical medical excuse not to attend class. I slipped and twisted my knee ligament. It is still swollen though but I couldnt bear skipping anymore classes because every classes there's test and colloqs, I dont wanna pile it up and undergo a breakdown.

See the fine lines.

Prevention is better than cure. So spend some bucks to get an eyecream!

Because I heard Fuzkittie uses this brand, Lumene.

I have decided to try it since it is available here in Russia eventhough the selection is scarce.

The Vitamin C range.

It comes in only 15ml for 135roubles or so.

It comes in this little cute tube.

Ofcourse I also picked up other things.

I wanted to pick up Bourjois' liquid eyeliner but from the tester.

It dries sooooo slow. For me this is a big no-no.

I really needed an eyeliner since my ELF cream liner and Wet n Wild cream liner is drying up and the consistency isnt how it used to be. It used to be so waterproof and budge proof but now it flakes.

So I picked up the essense long lasting eyepencil in Hot Chocolate.

Wanna try a brown eyeliner. Looks more natural?

It is an automatic liner =D

Here's a swatch.

I drew a line and let it set for awhile, then I try to smudge it. To my surprise, it didnt budge!

Unless I rub really hard, it fades off.

This is a gem.

Harulove

Happy April's Fools!

Actually in the previous tutorial, I never wore such a voluminous false eyelash, it made my eyelid heavy and it was hard for me to open my eye at first.

Today I used a more natural eyelash.

IMO, it looks so much better.

I am wearing GnG circle lenses.

The eye makeup.

There's a wee bit of fall out.

p.s. I know I need to get my brows fixed.

Dreaming Rose

Finally got my first Bourjois blush which I have been eying for a long time.

I got mine in the colour #34 Rose D'or.

Here how the colour in the pan looks like under natural lighting.

It's a medium pink with an amount of gold shimmers.

Absolutely gorgeous.

It comes with a brush which I think is pretty useless and it is a little poky.

I would recommend you to use your own blush brush.

A swatch of the blush. Under natural lighting.

It is just only one swipe. Could you see how pigmented it is?

People said it is comparable to the Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush since Bourjois is the sister company of Chanel.

I do not how are they comparable since I haven't really tried the Chanel blushes except for swatching them. The only difference I have felt is, Chanel's blushes are softer to the touch.

I also heard these blushes harden over time. I guess you have to really take good care of it by not letting any sebum get on the powder or else, get ready to scrap of the top to be able to use it again!

It is definitely worth trying but not a must get.

It cost 369rubles (About USD13 and RM39)
