Hello loves! ❤ I was so excited when I saw a package in my room and I was even more excited when I noticed that it was from The Fashionette Sisters! Like aaaaaaaa! All I could ever think of was "My Urban Decay!!!!" Haha. This is my first time owning any of UD products. I wanted the Naked Palette but I was out of budget so I guess this will do :3 Gotta save more money!
First of all, I really like the colour pay-off of this palette! Very pigmented and creamy ❤ It glides on so smoothly when I swatch it and even when I apply it on my eyes. The colours are beautiful. Its very "me". Hehe I love earth tone/neutral shadows. Its very easy to wear and perfect for any occasions. This palette contains 6 full-sized matte shadows;
Venus (Soft, off-white demi-matte)
Foxy (Very light yellow/beige matte)
Walk of Shame (Very light pinky nude matte)
Naked 2 (Rosy taupe matte)
Faint (Warm, dusty brown matte)
Crave (Deepest, darkest brown/black matte)
So nice right that its matte? Shimmery shadows are just annoying in my opinion. And the packaging! I don't know how to describe it but I just like the feel of the palette. This palette is lightweight, compact and just perfect for travelling and to be put inside your purse/clutch. If you compare it to an iPhone, you'll see that there isn't much of a difference really. But the palette is slightly shorter though. This palette is definitely a must have if you're into neutrals and matte shadows! But I do like to get my hands on the other naked palettes and see which one is my favourite. Kumpul duit Izzah, kumpul duit!! Hehe.

Hello loves! ❤ Last week my sweet friend Colney (thank you again, Colney!) invited me to the Benefit Cosmetics 1st Boutique Anniversary party together with the September babies + introducing their new product; Gimme Brow! The event was held at their one and only boutique @ One Utama. I still remember my very first Benefit product and it's also my very first high end brand that I ever bought :') It was the Christmas edition kit with all the tiny samples and all the samples lasted till today.
The party started with us singing the birthday song to the September babies, followed by a super awesome magic trick! I swear that guy was awesome! He made a real flying bird came out of a picture frame! I mean whaaaaat?! And the food corner's so simple and pretty! ❤

Hello loves! ❤ Yesterday I attended my very first makeup workshop ever. It was a Kawaii Makeup Workshop organized BCL Malaysia. It was held at the Circus Lounge & Bar, Pavilion. BCL is a company from Japan and it is short for Beauty Creative Lab. It is suitable for fashionable, young working adults who wants to look good. There are a lot of brands under BCL which are Tsururi, BrowLashEx, Makemania Data, ClearLast, and more. The workshop was actually free (so amazing!!!) but we had to pay RM30 beforehand to book for our seats and they will return a RM30 voucher for us to use to purchase their products. Actually, I never heard of BCL before but I found out about the workshop from Malaysia Make-Up Addicts' Organization (MMAO) FB. Since I always wanted to attend makeup workshop since forever, I thought to myself, "Ok, maybe this is the time!"
At first it was a little bit awkward since I went alone and it was my first time but after awhile, it was all good :D The BCL organizer was super duper friendly! They made sure that we took a lot of photos and offered to take our photos for us which was really nice and helpful especially for those who came alone like me. The workshop was conducted by a Makeup Artist from Japan, Mr. Tanabe. Mr. Tanabe's really friendly. Every time someone had a question, he would do a demo to them and explain it along the way. He did one to me too! He was really helpful and I really really really enjoyed his workshop! There are four looks that can be created (latest trend in tokyo): Shibuya Girl, Harajuku Girl, Akihaba Girl and Yokohama Girl. Mr. Tanabe showed us how to create the Shibuya Girl. The theme for Shibuya Girl is Cool & Confident!
Tips to create the Shibuya Girl (this is my note):
Powder: Keep it light. Instead of brushing the powder, try patting. Pat it gently and swirl it lightly.
Eyebrow: Start from the center and move it forward. Use pencil to fill in your eyebrows then use liquid to make it more natural. For the arch, they like to make it thicker than the rest of the brows.
Eyeshadow: They have this really cool eyeshadow sponge (picture will be shown later) and they will apply it like an eyeliner then smudge it at the end of the lid.
Eyeliner: Start from the center and apply it between your lashes and your lid. Apply black liner on your upper lid and create a wing at the end. Apply brown liner on your bottom lid to make your eyes look more awake. For monolid, keep your liner as thin and as close to your lash line as possible.
Mascara: There are three types of mascaras that the Japanese girls like to use. Yes, they use three mascaras at once :o If you have short bottom lashes, they key is to remove/take away 90-95% of products from the wand before coating your bottom lashes. Apply gently for several times. This method will reduce the possibility of mascara smudging under your eyes. (My question to Mr. Tanabe :p)
Lip: For lips they like to keep it light. To be Shibuya Girl, you just need to use coloured-lip gloss or a lip tint.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I know, a lot of photos but what to do, I want to share it with you guys and plus, I'm super excited since its my first time hahaha. I really enjoyed the workshop and I will try to review their products soon. Anyway, thank you so much BCL Malaysia for this amazing opportunity and for the goodies bag! Love love love! ❤ Can't wait to go to another makeup workshop :p
