Something New: Urban Decay Naked2 Palette

Yup! I got the new Urban Decay Naked2! I'm liking the new packaging since it's more sturdy and shut close. I also love the brush included though I would have prefer that they included a mini udpp rather than a mini lip junkie. A more concrete review plus swatches and comparison with the original Naked palette to follow!

New Year Look EOTD

Sorry for the lack of post last month. November and December are always the most hectic months for me and my family. Aside from being the peak season for our restaurant, I had to go on several trips abroad too and of course there's med school!

Any way, I want to greet everybody a Happy New Year!

Let me share a look which I wore on New Year's Eve! I did a classic holiday look. Neutral and gold eyeshadows (matte brown on the crease, shimmery golden taupe on the lid, and matte skintone eyeshadow as highlight) then I lined both my upper and lower rims with black pencil liner, then I created a cat eye with a liquid liner then finishing it with 2 coats of volumizing mascara. Another go to for the holiday season is red lips, so I went for it, anyway, my eye makeup is on the neutral color palette. To finish the look I just dusted a matte bronzer on the cheeks.

Products I used:
For the eyes:
• Urban Decay Primer Potion
• Make Up ForEver Eyeshadow #93
• Loreal Infallible Color Eyeshadow in Sahara Treasure
• Laura Mercier Vanilla Nuts Matte Eyeshadow
• Stila Smudgestick in Stingray
• Loreal Liquid Liner in Carbon Gloss
• Maybelline VolumExpress Colossal Mascara in Glam Black

For the cheeks:
• Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder #01

For the lips:
• Mentholatum Clear Lip Balm
• MAC Viva Glam I

I'm having problems with my internet connections.

It's just today that I had a stable connection...

Quite a number of people emailed and messaged me that they don't have a blog but the want to join.

Well, you still need to have a blog to join and be a follower of my blog.

You just need to create an blog. It doesn't matter if you don't have any readers yet or if it's just made for this giveaway. This is just to be fair to every one who joined and followed my instructions.

Take note, that I will check every entries if you have followed my instructions.

I've already seen some not following instructions, so I hope you will use this extension to follow the instructions to validate your entries.

Another question I had is if you have several blogs, can you use it to gain multiple entries.

My answer is yes you can, but one person can only have maximum of 2 entries.

Anyways, since a people are still joining my giveaway and a few are still emailing me regarding the giveaway so I decided that

MY GIVEAWAY IS EXTENDED UNTIL NOV. 26, 2011!

If you have more questions, feel free to email me or message me.

Plus after this giveaway, I'll be holding another giveaway for the holiday season!

Singapore Haul Part 2

Hello!

You've seen part 1 of my Singapore haul, which consisted of the things I bought from Sephora.

Now, here's part 2!

These are some of the items I bought from Robinson's Department Store at Raffles City Shopping Center and Duty Free, of course!

From Robinson's Department Store at Raffles City.

• I got L'oreal Perfect Clean Foaming Gel Wash. I wanted to try this mainly because of the scrublet, and it has mainly positive reviews. I've using this and so far I'm liking it! I really hope L'oreal would bring this here in the Philippines, as I could see alot of Filipinos would benefit from and like it!
• ZA Two Way Foundation. ZA was on 20% off and I like the Majolica Majorca two way powder foundation, since ZA is also a subsidiary of Shiseido like Majolica Majorca so I bought one. I got the powder refill plus case for just around 700 pesos! Not bad!

From Duty Free (Changi Airport)

• Chanel Rouge Coco Shines
• Chanel Le Vernis
• Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Lotion

Closer look!
