Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Chopper Eye Shadow
haseena 3/24/2006 6:13:00 AM
UD Chopper e/s is one of my favourites from this brand. It's a gorgeous glittery bronzey light nudish brown shade. From the other reviews i read, it seems many describe this as a copper shade on their lids, but this does not at all look copper on me although the name seems relevant (chopper without the 'h'). UD e/s are known for their glitters but personally, I do not mind as they look gorgeous imo, and chopper is one of those glittery ones. I love to wear this over my lids with a black liner. It's one of the eyeshadows that I have bought backup for, and have made my sister like it thus she owns one now too! I absolutely adore this shade and will repurchase and repurchase and repurchase. I am crossing my fingers and hoping they do not EVER discontinue Chopper. :)

Blush -Urban Decay - X [DISCONTINUED]
haseena 3/24/2006 5:39:00 AM
UD X Blush -> An extremely gorgeous glowy peachy pink shade infused with golden undertone and very subtle shimmers of gold flecks. Although this has shimmer, it does not look over the top on cheeks and practically makes your face glow. If you love natural peachy shades, this is one you should get to achieve a very natural look. Many have compared this to milani luminous and nars orgasm but since i don't own any of those, i can't judge for myself. Although it comes in a fairly small pot, it lasts for ages. Like all UD products, this blush is well pigmented and has great lasting power. I will repurchase (this is discontinued now) but i think this pot will last me forever since i rotate blushes everyday.

Primer/ Corrector -MAC - Prep + Prime Skin
haseena 3/23/2006 1:16:00 PM
Prep + Prime is an amazing primer and although this is my first primer, i think this will be my first and last primer. It goes on smoothly and leaves my face silky smooth and it makes my skin look really good even when there is no makeup on. It serves its purpose of making foundation or loose powder last through the day. All i need is a tiny bit and it performs like a star. I like how it smooths out my pores and makes my skin look healthier and glowier, as the cream is infuced with very fine shimmer. Will definitely repurchase but this is always oos here in singapore. I managed to get the *last* one. Thank goodness because it's really worth it. I have to agree with all the raves on this product and it does control the level of oxidation of my SF powder foundation but not entirely eliminating it. :) I'm happy with this purchase, definitely worth getting!

Eye Shadow -Shu Uemura - NEW Pressed Eye Shadow - ME Green 550
haseena 3/23/2006 5:47:00 AM
SHU ME GREEN 550 -> The gorgeous green eyeshadow that made my bf notice my makeup! This shade is a beautiful shimmery emerald green that is 'oh so gorgeous' as a lid shade paired with a moss green(UD Mildew) or dark glittery blue(UD GODDESS / ENVY) on crease and white gold on browbone. It makes my brown eyes pop and made many people talking about my makeup especially my mother and boyfriend. It reminded us of peacock feathers which is awesome. However for those who do not want a BRIGHT green, this is not the green for u as this is really very obvious and bright and can be seen from a distance hehe. I would repurchase but have managed to get hold of 555 which i heard is much better than this one. Can't wait to get it :)

Eye Shadow -Shu Uemura - ME Blue 638
haseena 3/23/2006 5:41:00 AM
SHU ME BLUE 638 -> The one e/s i had love at first sight with at the counters. Looks equally as gorgeous on lids as it is on the pan. I never and probably will never have a 'thing' for blue e/s but 638 is definitely an exception. I guess probably it has a gold sheen to it that makes it more suitable for my brown eyes & warm skintone. It pops my eyes, and has an awesome lasting power. Like all other shu e/s, the texture is heavenly. This is a blue e/s HG for me now and I will repurchase if i run out but i hope shu does not discontinue them or i'll be furious. Shu e/s are always oos especially the more popular ones and never seem to restock till ages. Rant over: Overall a gorgeous product and a must buy! :)

Eye Shadow -Shu Uemura - ME Silver 945 [DISCONTINUED]
haseena 3/23/2006 5:35:00 AM
SHU ME SILVER 945 - The STAR product of Shu Uemura, and I can't blame all the raves, it's truly gorgeous! An extremely shimmery silver taupe shade that imo can suit both warm and cool skintones. The texture is amazing and lasting power is extremely good. I love swiping shu shadows since they're very nicely textured :) It is a sad move that Shu has practically discontinued this in most parts of the world. I feel sorry for them for losing one of their most sought after products and for those of us who love this product. I might get a backup soon enough but am still wondering if MM SV821 could be a good replacement. *am off to compare them* RIP SHU ME SILVER 945 :(

Eye Shadow -Shiseido - Majolica Majorca eyeshadow in GR129
haseena 3/23/2006 5:26:00 AM
GR129 is a beautiful shade of light green with gold shimmers that flashes gold at certain angles. It is very very shimmery which is a plus point for me because i ♥ shimmer however i realised unlike other MM e/s i have tried, this is slightly less pigmented and is pretty sheer on lids. I have used UD PP, but it still appears sheer, however i really like this one and will try a different base in order to bring out the shade. For contact lens wearer, please be careful as i have realised this shade tends to drop on lashes and into eyes and considering the shimmer factor, it can be quite painful for the eye. Will repurchase as the colour is simply too pretty! :)

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Sesame Glossimer [DISCONTINUED]
haseena 3/23/2006 5:16:00 AM
Sesame is simply gorgeous in the tube with beautiful gold finely milled shimmer. On lips, it appears a sweet milky baby pink shade with gold shimmers. I love to pair this over my strawberry blonde l/s to bring the colour out abit more and it looks truly amazing. I don't have many favourites of pink lip products as I am very fussy about pink lippies. However, sesame is an exception.

Loose Powders -MAC - Blot Powder - Loose
haseena 3/23/2006 5:07:00 AM
MAC Blot Powder (LOOSE) is a superb idea inspired by the original blot powder. The texture is absolutely amazing and finely milled. I bought this in Medium Dark. Unlike the original blot powder, this loose one does not oxidise. Perfect for those who do not want the made up look and disadvantages of a foundation. I apply this over my concealor and whole face to set my makeup without any foundation. It does feel powdery to the touch but is worth it if you want a flawless matte natural finish. The packaging is a hassle though, since the plastic seal on the sifter looses its stickiness thus u would have to use a tape to seal it if you don't want it to create a mess in the jar. Would definitely repurchase and it's an instant HG for me. I have chucked my studio fix away, as i have found a new ♥ which does not and has so far not turn it's back on me (oxidation). My new love. :) However, my browbone and eye area was allergic to this but i still use it and have to avoid those areas. I just love it too much not to use it. :)

Lip Gloss -Maybelline - Water Shine Liquid Diamonds - ROSE CARATS 02
haseena 3/10/2006 8:35:00 AM
Rose carats is a beautiful shade and it is all i wanted MAC Prr to be. Although these glosses are cheap, do not underestimate the pigmentation and texture. Frankly, these are better than mac, as they are not sticky and are smoother. The shade i got, is a less frostier and more shimmery version of Prr. It's name sounds odd as there is no rose at all in it. This is highly pigmented and can be used by its own for a ylbb shade. I love to pair this with my HG nude l/s (hug me) and the outcome is gorgeous. I think this is an asia only shade and i will repurchase! :)

Blush -NARS - Exhibit A
haseena 2/26/2006 9:32:00 AM
Exhibit A is a chilli red almost shocking orange in the pan. Abit reluctant to use it at first as I though it'll show up really bright on my skin. However, with a light hand, when applied, it gives my face a natural flush. This is overall a gorgeous shade! Paired with a neutral eye and lips, this looks perfect without looking too overdone. You can't judge a book by its cover, same thing for Exhibit A. Wearable colour especially for tanner to darker skin tones but imo, if applied with a skunk brush or light hands, even paler ladies can pull this colour off :)

Eyeliner -Stila - Smudge Pot in Bronze
haseena 2/24/2006 7:40:00 AM
I have always been looking for the perfect bronze eyeliner. My search is finally over. I was contemplating between this and Bobbi Brown Bronze Gel Liner, but since this was released earlier, I decided to get this one instead. Funny thing is that I've always wanted the BB one, but now I think I do not need to get that anymore. This is a beautiful shade of bronze with golden shimmer. I love it so much! Perfect for my brown eyes, and though many said it would not show up on my NC40-42 skin, I still got it. It showed up beautifully. The texture is excellent and staying power is awesome. How I wished this was not LE :(

Mascara -Max Factor - 2000 Calorie Mascara
haseena 2/22/2006 5:09:00 AM
Max Factor 2000 Calories is a superb mascara. Creates volume but not length. The formula is superb but I don't really like the traditional brush. The Max Factor's bristle brush spoilt me since it was the best thing any mascara would want. My Max Factor Lash Perfection was drying so i decided to toss it and took the brush from it, washed it thoroughly and then transferred to MF 2000. It fitted perfectly and now i own the world's best mascara, that is so reasonably priced and innovative. The brush gave the lengthening whilst the formula performed the voluming aspects. I will definitely repurchase this 2000 calorie but will keep the MF LP's brush to use with it. They work well togather and would very well be the world's best couple. :)

Eye Shadow -MAC - Pigment in Vanilla
haseena 2/22/2006 5:01:00 AM
When I first got Vanilla in a swap, I completely ignored it. I though it would look too frosty on me. One day, I decided to try it as an brow bone highlighter. Was not convinced, as I was looking for something more whiter for my brow bone. I did use it but rarely. Recently, i decided to use it as a lid wash and to my surprise, it worked well! It's a gorgeous shimmery off-white shade with flecks of gold touch to it. It's no wonder many girls rave about this one. I love using this just with mascara and a black liner on my lower rims. It looks very pretty. Will repurchase :) For reference, I'm a GGG of NC40-42

Lip Gloss -MAC - Oh baby
haseena 2/20/2006 5:56:00 AM
Oh baby is an amazing colour that I might have overlooked if not for the MA who used it on me for a makeover. Looks very dark in the tube but goes on a very gorgeous caramel shade. Please note that this has glitters (blue, green etc) but i do not mind them as they look amazing. This would look very good on medium to dark complexion, and might look too dark for all those lovely fairer ladies there. This is my favourite lipgloss, and i would never hesitate to repurchase. For reference, I'm a NC42 (GGG)
