My little Super Star in action

What is Chu Lip Lipbalm exactly? Well, the Chu Lip lip balm by Mentholatum is famous for its cute dome shape and funky colours of Pink, Red, Purple and Green.

With its unique design and ultra moisturising properties, applying lip balm has never been as fun as today, thanks to Chu Lips Lipbalm by Metholatum.

Colourful decorative pieces for our Chu Lip at the workshop

In my case, i had some essentials and decorative pieces prepared to get mine started off with. From things that are glittery to small puffy balls to get my imagination going. Creating our own little buddy while infusing our own flair of personality into it was definitely not an easy task but it was definitely a fun experience personalising the type of Chu Lip that we wanted.

Some essentials to create my little superstar.

Its Pink-February!

Hello everyone, as we all know that valentines is just around the corner, i have decided to do a Pink February sensation! Well, why pink? Because its the colour of love *inserts heart emoticon here*

Here are some of my selected essentials that i will be using to create my Pink-February look. 

1. Lip Tatto Shinzens, RM168

2. Maybelline Baby Lips in Electro Pop in Pink Shock, RM10.90

3. Colour Collection Hotlights in Sparkle, RM24.90

4. Dolly wink eye liner, RM49.00

5. Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish in Berry Sexy, RM9.90

First, i decided to apply some lip tattoo by Shinzens to moist and get a natural shine to my lips before applying Baby Lips by Maybelline. By applying the lip tattoo, you can see that the colour goes darker naturally and it also moistures your lips too!

Next, apply Baby Lips by Maybelline to your lips to get a slightly darker pink. And guess what? It works wonders on your lips too! It moisturises and keeps your lips hydrated. Talk about double moisture power! The best part about this lip balm is that it does add some colour onto your lips, but at  the same time it keeps your lips looking natural. Not too dark, but it compliments your lips to be looking natural in February.

Next would be the final touch of applying Color Hotlights in Sparkle. This is my personal favourite, and I'm going to definitely tell you all about it! The word hotlights literally means 'lights', in what way? Do refer to photo attached below. 

Aint it cool or what? Especially at times when it gets pretty dark, you are still able to get just light to touch up your lips before the lights come on, keeping you looking amazing even in the dark. There is also a mirror attached with the base of the the tube, just good enough to apply some gloss and shine on your lips. Loving how it looks so naturally sparkly, who would want to kiss on valentines with Hotlights on your lips? *wink

 Next would be that you can apply some eyeshadow, just to match the outfit you're wearing or simple a day of going nude. NO! not literally nude, but nude as in without make up. Teehee. Whats so special about this eyeliner would be that its easy to apply as it has a sharp tip where its easy to draw designs on your eyelids. Very smooth, very easy to apply. Did i also mention that its from Japan? Whats there not to love when it comes with precisions?

And of course, the Maybelline Colour Show Nail Polish in Berry Sexy! Its amazing how i loved the colour! Very fierce yet classically elegant. Embracing the true women we are. 

*Drum rolls please*

As for the final outcome, this is the overall view of it. Im not sure about you, but i think i look pretty natural. HAHA. If you have your own pink-february look, don't forget to hashtag #pinkfebruary and share some of your definition of #pinkfebruary. Well, thats all for now. Toddles

With love,

Sugar Skull Makeup ; DIY

Hey everyone, since halloween is just around the corner and some of you have been wondering how i got my sugar skull makeup done, so here it is! the moment of truth. This would be my first time blogging about a tutorial on how to DIY sugar skull make up. Feel free, or do let me know, if i missed anything out. Happy reading!

Now, first, before we start, obviously we need to know what we need? In my case, i was just using the things that i have at home which we're not entirely based on just make up.

Things you need:

1. Maybelline Color Tattoo : Blue, grey and turquoise
2. Johsons Baby Powder ( since i didn't want to use white face paint ) haha
3. Maybelline Sharp Eyeliner
4. Silkygirl Lip liner
5. Gem Stickers.

Now, once you have all that in your list, you can start on painting you face into a beautiful skull. First off lets start with pre-preparation. If you have long hair like mine, i would suggest that you tie it up into a bun to make sure your hair doesn't distract you from applying makeup. What i did was i tied my hair up into a bun, cause i like my hair to be all tied so that it stays neat.

My hair let down

Tied hair into bun

Next is the fun part, what i did was i lined a circle around my eyes with baby powder (cause i wasn't confident enough to draw directly using an eyeliner), or you could just directly use eyeliner to draw your circle around your eyes. Once you're done with that, you can just colour your nose partly like how i did or they're also different ways to do it, depending on your nose structure.

Draw a circle around your eyes

Colour your nose black.

When that is done, you would roughly know where to apply white to your face. This is optional if you don't have white face paint or if you prefer not applying white, would be fine to. You can skip this part if you want your look to be more natural. Im suppose to use white paint, but i didn't exactly prefer to have a sticky feel on my face as white face paint leave a sticky feeling to it, i decided to use baby powder. haha

The next one would be applying the Maybelline colour tattoo to the inner part of the circle, in my case, i mixed blue and turquoise. But any colour would be fine depending on the clothes you wear. If you don't have colour tattoo, eyeshadow works the same way as well.

All white around the face.

Apply colour in the inner circle of your eyes.

Almost there, just the final touch ups, would be drawing some patterns on your forehead and also around your lips. I used maybelline colour tattoo in grey to my eyes to create a more dramatic look, and also applied some eyeliner like how you would usually apply it to your eyes.

I applied some lip liner on the inner part of the lips to create a certain to, but you can apply it any way you want it, be confident! Adding red lipstick would be fine too, but since i made my eyes dramatic, it would preferably be better if you let just one part of your face gets the attention. And since i had these diamond stickers lying around at home, i decided to apply it around my circle to create a more dramatic look.

And wallah, let your hair down and your look is done! To give it a complete look to it, add flowers to your hair and wear the perfect outfit to be looking hauntingly beautiful.

I hope this was clear enough for you to understand, and feel free to ask me any questions or maybe some tips on how to improve my tutorial writing skills. Have a good day! and also...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN. 

Much love,

Bollywood Professional (New York) Launch ; Muse by Watsons

Event: Bollywood Professional's Official Launch

Location: Muse by Watsons, Sunway Pyramid

Date: 4th Oct 2014, Saturday

Time: 2.30pm -  5pm

Hello fellow readers,

If you've been following my Instagram, I'm pretty sure you might know what i've been up to last weekend. In fact, if you're a cosmetic lover, you would really want to check out the magic of Bollywood Professional (New York). But before i go further into explaining on the product, you might be wondering what is Bollywood Professional is from.

Rani Barring giving us some details on Bollywood Professionals.

Bollywood Professional started in New York by founder Rani Barring to embrace the use of make up from Bollywood films. A coincidence that Deepavali is just around the corner, Bollywood Professionals came during the perfect time to launch it officially in Malaysia with all their vibrant colours in their collection to make sure every female in saree's this coming Deepavali would be absolutely as gorgeous as Bollywood Superstars.

As i had the opportunity to explore on their cosmetic range during their launch, everything i see based on my first impression was all glitz and glam. Oh so gorgeous and since i had a free makeover by their professional stylist, i was looking forward to what magic can Bollywood Professionals could do.

Make over session specially for the beauty bloggers.

The generous refreshment prepared by Bollywood Professionals. Yums!

The preparation for their first Malaysian launch at Muse by Watsons, Sunway Pyramid, the store was completely transformed to be suited to a Bollywood theme, with array mirrors and makeup, balloons and super friendly makeup artist who were more than willing to assist. My make up was done by Irene Khoo and she was really nice to beautify my face with Bollywood professional products.

Irene Khoo, the amazing artist who did my make up for me that day.

Was trying out their liquid lipstick, and boy it took just one swipe to have this really bright colour on me.

One of their highlighted range of products, according to Rani Barring would be Bolywood's professionals latest edition ; the liquid lipstick. Retailing at RM92 per piece, they come in 12 tones of bright colours. I got the chance to actually test it on my skin, and the amazing thing about this liquid lipstick is that it doesn't only make you look amazing, but it helps reduce pigmentations and works as a moisturiser too! How amazing is that? So don't worry about getting your skin dry, cause it would keep it looking supple and kissable as ever!

Colours available by the name: Pumpkin Spice , Electric pink, Electric Taffy, Uncorked, Just Bitten, Cherry Bomb, Razz Dance, Code Red, Brown Sugar, Wild Orchid, Electric Coral and Mink Pink.

10 out of 12 of the colour range of liquid lipstick by Bollywood professionals.

To be honest, I'm slightly particular with the lip stick i use on my lips as i don't like the uncomfortable dry feeling or sticky feeling once its on, but this particular liquid lipstick was the BOMB! Even though their shades are extremely bright and intense, it still gave full coverage with just one swipe, which was like a shock to me as some lipsticks can look that bright and they end up not even being close to bright. Based on my opinion, its a definite two thumbs up, not that it keeps your lips moisturised, but its also long lasting to last you the whole day looking oh-so-FAB!

Pretty shimmers by Bollywood Professionals.

Another thing that caught my attention, was their glittery shimmers and mineral eyes shimmers. They came in all sorts of colourful shades, and i love their bright glitter tones which seems to be very bold and shimmering to complete your glamour look, anytime, anyway. 

I tested some out, and i was really amazed on how strong the colour sticks to your skin. It was with just one swipe, and the colour was already bold. Rani did mentioned that its actually a benefit for people with darker skin tones, but at the same time, if you have light skin, the need of using a lot of amount isn't necessary, which also means, it would last longer than usual coloured shimmers to get yourself the right tone.

 Not to forget the chance to actually meet the founder of Bollywood Professional's, Rani Barring in person, with her amazing personality and upbeat character, she could really inspire you in so many ways. We were also given a first hand try to sample Bollywood Professionals collection at use by Watsons.

Last group shot with amazing beauty bloggers.

It was an amazing opportunity as this was actually my first butterfly project, and i would like to thank Tammy for giving me the opportunity to be apart of the event. It was also really nice getting to meet other butterflies with all their perky friendly personalities. Not to forget to thank Muse by Watsons, Bollywood Professionals too for their welcoming team to make us feel at home!
