Birthday Party Makeup Look

I threw a birthday party recently. And of course it was another opportunity for me to play with makeup. Unfortunately, the damned helium balloons took up a lot of my time and I had to do my hair and makeup as guests arrived. I achieved it all in approximately 45 minutes. I am definitely not trying to show off here. I actually forgot to put on my press-on manicure and perfume. Any how, it did not matter; no one noticed. My party didn't go exactly the way I planned it but ultimately, it was still a success! Everyone had a blast and I was really pleased. I guess the fun things in life are usually spontaneous.

Because I was in a hurry, I kept my makeup as simple as possible. Here's a list of products that I used. I'm really glad I chose them because they lasted all day.

1. YSL Touche Eclat Foundation BR30
2. hedkandi lashes by Eylure - Twisted Disco 
3. MAC blush in Dame 
4. Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in Cashmere 
5. Rimmel London Waterproof Gel Liner in Black
6. Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara in Extreme Black 
7. Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Celestial 
8. Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour in Alloy
9. NYX Eye/Eyebrow Pencil in Charcoal and Dark Brown  
10. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer 

I decided against doing a makeup tutorial for this look because it's simple and easy. I forgot to take a close-up of my face so the photo above is as close as it gets. Sorry, everyone! 

Ever had a party that didn't go according to plan but still turned out awesome? Please do share! 

Wicked Wednesday: Face of the Day #2

Hey ladies, sorry I haven't been very organised with my blog posts lately. I feel like I've had to apologise to you guys a lot recently and I hope to change that. I aim to schedule some posts for when I hit exam block and won't be actively posting on this blog. I already have lots of ideas and photos are ready. I just need to sit down, edit the photos and write up the posts!

Anyway, here's my second FOTD. I hope you guys like this one as much as you liked my first. Please excuse my rebellious baby hairs. I didn't even realise there were that many standing up when I took the photos!

So here is a list of products that I used for my face today:

- Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
- Virgin and Sin from the Urban Decay Naked Palette
- Essence Kajal Pencil in 01 Black
- Benefit Eye Bright Pencil
- Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara
- Bobbi Brown Blush in Tawny
- Benefit Watts Up Highlighter
- Urban Decay Lipstick in Naked


What do you think of this look? This is one of my go-to looks.

Triple S: Face of the Day #1

I was working today (and yesterday). Hence, the late Triple S post. I originally had an awesome post planned for today, which I was meant to work on yesterday but one of my colleagues has left and I had to fill her spot. So I've decided to do a quick Face of the Day post. This is my first FOTD and given that a number of people requested it during my giveaway/suggestion contest, I figured that the reaction from you guys would not be too violent or adverse.

Okay, I know that you're not supposed to put any filters for FOTD photos but I couldn't help it. I needed to do something to reduce its awfulness. The next shot is a bit blurry because it is of my reflection and I haven't cleaned my mirror in a while.

So here is a list of products that I used for my face today:

- Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
- Bourjois Smoky Eyes Eyeshadow Trio In Gris Lilac (the middle colour)
- Virgin, Sin and Hustle from the Urban Decay Naked Palette
- Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara
- Bobbi Brown Blush in Tawny
- Benefit Watts Up Highlighter
- Clinique Superbalm Moisturising Gloss in Grapefruit

What do you think of my FOTD post? Should I continue writing this type of posts?
