Looks: I’ve got the blues + Goodies from Malaysia

Hey everyone,

today I want to show you a look I did using my Sleek palettes. I wanted to do something with blue eyeshadow as that is one of my fave colors but I don’t seem to wear it that much lately. So here is what came out:

blues01

blues02

blues03

Products used:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Sleek Original palette (yellow, violet, light blue and black)
- Sleek Chaos palette (dark blue)
- Helena Rubinstein mascara

Directions:
Apply Urban Decay on your lids using you fingers. Using E.L.F. eyeshadow brush, swipe a light blue color on your lid. Apply a dark blue color on your crease with a blending brush and using MAC 219 pencil brush, darken the outer V and crease with a black shade. Swipe a sheer yellow color on the browbone to highlight and a violet shade on the lower lashline. Finish off with applying mascara.

Last week, I received a package from my lovely friend Hanna from Malaysia. She has a really nice blog too so make sure you check it out! Hanna and I agreed to swap Italian cosmetics for Malaysian ones and here is what I got:

- Silkygirl blusher in Flashing Rose
- Silkygirl Moisture Rich Lipcolor in Energetic
- Silkygirl Moisture Gloss in Sweet Pink
- Mentholatum Lip Ice in apple

I’ve been wanting to try Silkygirl products in ages so I’m very excited about these.  And since I mentioned to Hanna that I have never tried a BB Cream before she also included a sample of Skin Food Mushroom Multi Care BB Cream. :) I’ve only tried a couple of stuff so far and I really like them.

She also sent me a copy of her fave magazine, Female, and I have to say it’s pretty good! I’m really enjoying it. She also left some little notes in some of the pages, which I thought was very thoughtful.

Thanks a lot Hanna!

Wow, that’s a pretty look! I like how you combine blue with green, very lovely! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Skinfood, I hope you’ll enjoy the goodies :)

Lovely! So glad to see you using and enjoying the Sleek palette, too. I bought their new incredibly vibrant Acid palette a couple of days ago, and put the photos/swatches on it up on my blog – it’s intense! Too bright even for me, perhaps. We shall see.

I missed their Jewel one which I’m sad about, hopefully I can catch it on eBay or online somewhere when I have some spare cash.

I’ve not heard of Silkygirl but look forward to your reviews of it =D

Dao: thanks, I’m glad you like it. I haven’t tried the BB sample yet cos I’m testing else at the moment but I can’t wait to use it. I’ve heard great things about it too :)

Celeste: thanks. I’ll review everything soon :)

Anastasia: thanks, I love those palettes and I use them almost daily. Thanks for getting the Original one for me, it’s really an amazing palette. I just saw the swatches of the Acid palettes on your blog and wow, the colors are so bright! I don’t think some of the colors are easy to pull off but I’m sure you’ll find a way to make them wearable.
Reviews coming soon :)

Anastacia: thank you :)

Gio:
Your welcome. ^_^ And I’m having fun with my Deborah+PUPA+deBBy stash too. BTW, I love that EOTD! But I never heard of Sleek though.

Anastacia:
Silkygirl is like WetNWild. In fact, we used to have WnW before, but once Silkygirl came into the Malaysian drugstore (circa 2005?), WetNWild was no longer available. Hmm…I dun really know much about the replacement of the 2 brands though.

Hanna, Sleek is a UK brand which I love very much! Their eyeshadow are very pigmented, longlasting and inexpensive. They’re not easily available outside the UK though.
I’m glad you like the stuff I sent you :)
