Makeup Stash | Eyeshadow Palettes

Not gonna lie, ever since I bought my first eyeshadow palette ever; no surprise as it's from Urban Decay, I got hooked and collected all the these palettes within the past 3 years. I've actually thrown out some single shadows as they're already oxidized and the colour did changed. I guess at this point, no more palette for me. Okay, that's crazy as one palette's on its way right now but yeah. I'll update on that later.

I recently gotten the Tarte Tartelette Eyeshadow palette as it's on sale on SEPHORA Malaysia. I bet you guys already know this palette; it's a classic, with natural hues and perfect for everyday office look. I haven't been using this a lot to put down my thoughts on this but so far so good!

As shown above, I've got Urban Decay Naked 2, Urban Decay Naked 3 and Urban Decay Naked Smoky; in the reverse order as my very first palette is indeed Smoky palette and still my favourite to this day. As for Naked 3, I love using this palette for those days I'm feeling romantic and wanting to go for soft and feminine looks while Naked 2 is another palette I'm using for daily office looks as well. Overall, I just love the buttery formulation and with good primer, the pigmentations on these babies intensify. 

For ZOEVA, I've got the Naturally Yours, Cocoa Blend, Caramel Melange, and Rose Golden a.k.a Princess Palette. To me, all these palettes are all-rounded; from its price points, to the formulation, colour selections, pigmentations, long-lastingness (with a good eye primer, of course!) and the packaging design.

I've recently found new love on this brand that I've recently discovered (of course, I'm always behind when it comes to makeup!) and I went crazy with buying 3 palettes at the same time. My first palette is ColourPop x Karrueche Fem Rosa SHE Shadow Palette and I literally butchered this palette the day I got my hands on it. The colours are pretty and I love every single shade in it. Then, when I saw my fave YouTube released her own palette I just had to get it as well and that's ColourPop x Kathleen Lights Dream St. Shadow Palette. I have to say that the blue colour in this palette is super pretty with the rest of the colours complement each other and perfect for daily eye makeup looks. One of my partner-in-crime (when it comes to makeup, duh!) gotten herself the ColourPop You Had Me at Hello Shadow Palette and I decided to also get one for myself. I love this palette a little bit extra because this one has a mirror in it. 

Last but not least, these single shadows from THE FACE SHOP and Innisfree Korea (these aren’t available in Malaysian stores), Maybelline cream shadow which is perfect as base with ColourPop Super Shock in Coconut is an absolute favourite colour of mine. Sorry if the the pictures too bright for your eyes, my camera is still at the repair shop and these are taken using iPhone camera..

Makeup Look | Daily Office Makeup

In last week's post on my beauty haul for last month, I talked a little bit about my daily makeup routine for office which is all about achieving that natural simple look hence in today's post, I'll be going in with details on the makeup items I use.

Beauty Haul | ZOEVA and Solinotes Paris

I guess it goes without saying that ever since I started working in an office environment, I've been wearing makeup like everyday. The past 2 months was all about adjusting to new environment, new routine and the need to wear makeup to work has gradually increased from week 1 to week 9. 

As I never really have proper makeup routine or set an everyday makeup look, I went on research on basic daily office makeup and one thing that came out the most was pulling a natural look i.e. natural eyeshadow colours, natural looking base foundation, and the need to have proper scent or perfume on you throughout the day.

Drugstore Haul | Maybelline Malaysia

I think it's safe to say that my hauls for this year is more on makeup rather than skincare unlike the past few years as I'm getting more and more interested on applying makeup by myself plus ever since I started working, the need to appear presentable in front of others is always there but all the more reason to do makeup for me is actually having fun by myself.
