Too Faced Neutral Eye Palette

It wasnt an easy feat to add the Urban Decay Naked Palette to my stash of eyeshadow palettes. The very popular palette sold out the instant it hit the shelves thanks to the amazing number of beautiful neutral eyeshadows it contained.

But if you’re the kind to use only a certain number of colours for daily wear, you’ll love the Too Faced Neutral Eye Palette. Perfect for a soft, natural sexy look this Natural Eye Palette is modeled after the first Too Faced Classic Smokey Palette. Bundled with three step-by-step instruction cards on how to create the looks you love, this eyeshadow palette is probably the next best alternative to the Urban Decay Naked Palette.

I know I already have the Naked Palette and the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette isn’t new in Sephora Singapore, but I’m currently going through an everything-brown phase so this palette might just be next on my to-buy list although I probably shouldnt. Quick! Somebody, stop me!

It’s been about 2 weeks since I last came back from New York and I think I just almost finished packing all my loot. I’m honestly surprised I didnt buy out the entire Sephora store when I was there, but I did pick up some pretty good buys when I was there. One of them was the limited edition Sephora Best in Bronze Deluxe Sampler worth USD113 that was going for USD39!

This set contains 10 of Sephora’s favorite bronzers and luminizers that “creates believable, sunkissed color, year-round”. Perfect for a setting where it’s summer all the time dont you think? And what could be more perfect than getting a sample of each one of these 10 gems in precious mini bottles?

From left to right:
* 0.39 oz Korres Monoi Oil Bronzing Powder in Sunglow Light
* 0.16 oz SEPHORA COLLECTION Nail Polish in Bright Red
* 0.08 oz Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzing Powder
* 0.04 oz LORAC Tantalizer Baked Bronzer in Golden Bronze
* 0.17 oz Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil
* 0.2 oz Smashbox Artificial Light Illuminating Lotion in Glow
* 0.02 oz Bare Escentuals bareMinerals All Over Face Color in Faux Tan
* 0.09 oz Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow Liner in Bronze
* 0.09 oz Benefit High Beam
* 0.08 oz TEMPTU RETOUCH Highlighter in Gold

I probably wont be able to finish using them all this year, but they wont ever run out style here in Singapore! Heehee.

My OTHER loot comes in the form of individual items that I picked up off the shelves. I like to have a little bit of this and a little bit of that. But when I took this picture, I realised most of the items were from Urban Decay.

From left to right:
* NARS Super Orgasm Blush
* Urban Decay Stardust Eyeshadow in Moon Spoon
* Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturiser SPF 20
* Benefit Concealer Brush
* Urban Decay Ink for Eyes Cream Eyeliner in Demolition

I just adore the funky packaging from Urban Decay, especially the Ink for Eyes Cream Eyeliner. Definitely cant wait to try it out! In fact, I also cant wait to compare the difference between the NARS Super Orgasm and the NARS Orgasm blush. Anyone tried them both before? Which one do you prefer?

When the first Sephora Singapore store finally opened in Ngee Ann City Singapore, I’m sure many beauty addicts like me were ecstatic. THE ONE AND ONLY SEPHORA. The one that carries many of the brands we love and lust for: Too Faced, Bare Escentuals, Pop Beauty, Smashbox etc. But what they didnt have were the OTHER brands that we really wanted, brands like Urban Decay and NARS.

The second and much bigger Sephora outlet in ION didn’t manage to bring in these coveted brand either. But now, girls, after months of waiting, it’s time to pop the champagne.

URBAN DECAY IS FINALLY HERE IN SINGAPORE!


A peek at just a few of the items the counter carries.

Mention Urban Decay, and the ever popular Urban Decay Primer Potion comes to mind. Other than the original Primer Potion, two new stunning colours are now available for your picking: Eden, a wearable, tawny, matte shade and Sin, a shimmering champagne colour (all three seen in the picture, extreme left of middle row). Both gorgeous to wear on its own as a cream eyeshadow and of course, for use under your eyeshadows to make them stay longer. I couldn’t decide which of the two to get. I love shimmery shades but at the same time want a matt eyeshadow that’s ever so versatile. Anyone want to buy me them both? :D

The counter also stocks the to-die for 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils, Heavy Metal Glitter eyeliner and brilliant StarDust eyeshadow which again made my pocket cry out in vain. I poured over the items and couldn’t decide which one to get. Ohhhhh… The joy of shopping for your items and testing out the colours you like. The Oil Slick StarDust eyeshadow had my name written all over it. I couldn’t help but drool over the intense amount of glitter in this pigmented eyeshadow. The Heavy Metal Glitter eyeliner was another one with an obscene amount of glitter in it. Back during my escapade in the Philippines, I was lucky enough to have Miss Northern Ireland lend it to me. I tried it out and ended up looking like I had pretty fairy dust on my lids. Teehee.

If you’re like me and can’t decide what to get, perhaps the 24/7 sets with the 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil and Heavy Metal Glitter eyeliner will be an easy choice for you. The assortment of rainbow colours allow for some dramatic and fun looks. But me being me, I had difficulty picking just ONE set. They were all so pretty. I’m greedy, I WANTED THEM ALL!


Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Electric

These creamy Glide-on eyeliners literally glide on your skin and stays soft for up to 30 seconds before drying up to a long-lasting finish. They are waterproof and WILL not BUDGE. It took a quite hard rub with my finger before the liner would smudge.

Because it’s the beginning of the month and the paycheck is already in, I think it might just be a good time to hop on down to Sephora right now. :P

It’s Earth Hour today! Remember to mark the time down people:

8.30pm to 9.30pm (local time)

About 9 hours before it’s Earth Hour! Counting down to when we all turn off our lights to help save the environment.

Do your little bit by turning off non-essential lights for just one hour today. But that’s not all you can do, you can turn off your air-conditioner and use the fan to show how much you care. Even better plan a block party with some friends and enjoy the natural evening breeze Mother Nature has to offer!

Turning off these appliances will help to conserve the Earth’s natural resources, reduce your carbon footprint and lead to a cleaner, healthier environment for our future. You are just one person but YOU can change the world by taking action.

It’s all in the name of going green. As for me, here’s my pledge to going green: a green Face of the Day!

In the light of the Miss Earth pageant, one of the days as the girls and I were going out, I did a green eyeshadow look. Although most people think it’s a hard look to carry it off, this one came off really well because it was a dark green shade that I used just on the outer corners of the eye.

After that long picture post of all the girls, here’s the face I sported for the day. We had to do our own makeup for the videoshoot and I got to put my brand new makeup items to good use, including the Too Faced Shadow Insurance I just got. I’m pretty proud of my improving makeup skills. Hooray for a large stash of make up items!
