Depotting Colorbar Single Eyeshadow


Many months ago, I was depotting my MAC eyeshadows, and didn't stop there. I picked up the only Colorbar eyeshadow I have, and decided to evict it as well. Single eyeshadows disturb me- mentally. 
It had a mirror attached to it, which made the process seem next to impossible, but I was to curious to find out the outcome.

Eyeshadow shade ~ Proudly Purple (swatch & review here)

This is what it looked like before. The mirror is attached to the bottom of the eyeshadow

Sleek Saturday LOTD

I know Saturday is gone here, but I'm on UK time specially for this post. I was invited by the lovely Liloo to join her in her Sleek Saturday Series. The main purpose of the series is to encourage the use of Sleek i-divine palettes- mainly the colors you don't use enough. I thought it's a fantastic idea! I hardly use the only Sleek palette I have- Paraguaya Palette, so I was more than happy to participate.

I created a very simple look....

Anniversary, Forever New Dress & Bow Shoes


Do you have a really nice girlie dress or top you cannot wear because it's too revealing? For me, it's this dress. It's the most feminine dress I have & I'm in love with the creme de menthe color, but it is very low in the front + it's made like a corset, so it pushes up the twins up too much, like 'Woah!' If you want to go from A to C, this is the type of neckline you should look for.

I wore it on our 4th wedding anniversary, 2 days back. We were staying in, so I wore it for the first time since I bought it- maybe 2 years ago! =\

I don't want the moral police to come get me, so I thought of clever ways to cover what's inappropriate ;)

1 Month Challenge LOTD ~ "Unpredictable"

I'm thinking about doing LOTDs (Look Of The Day) 3 times a week for 1 month, mainly because I want to use a lot of my makeup more often- especially the products I can't wear everyday. Most of the looks are going to be very random, sometimes completely unwearable, but I hope you'll find inspiration in them :)

I said that I'd do a look with Inglot Lipstick #103, so I decided to wear it this time.

• Contact lens safe and ophthalmologist-tested
• Waterproof, also available in Washable formula

Katy Perry's Outfit At MTV VMAs 2011


Bye bye, clutch. Hello, umbrella!


I think the whole ensemble is cute and quirky. I personally would wear the shoes and the umbrella, but not the dress- I just wish it was made differently.

What do you all think? Yay or Nay?

♥ Cynthia Z ^.^

Benefit some kind-a gorgeous ~ Foundation Faker


What it is:
This lightweight, translucent, foundation-like product smoothes out imperfections and evens skin tone with a silky, smooth finish that's super natural and super gorgeous.

Shades ~ Lite, Medium & Deep. I got Medium.

How to apply ~ Apply evenly all over face with accompanying sponge or fingertips. I prefer to apply it with fingers, coz I feel the sponge eats up the product too much.


Packaging is like a record. Very cool! :)

"You Belong To Me"

"You Belong To Me" can sound both psycho and passionate. 
  • Psycho - if you're squeezing the person's neck and say it without blinking.
  • Passionate - if you're running your fingers through the person's hair and say it with a smile on your face.
 
Okay, they both sound psycho. Well, how should I know?! I've done neither. Well....at least not to a living thing. 
So, the latest nail trend is colored French tips, which I love love love- mainly coz I'm very lazy about doing my nails & I hate waiting for them to dry.
