FOTD Make Up

FOTD Wasabi Green

Mikuni Sashimi

Sushi and wasabi go together like honey and bees. So it was inevitable that I thought of food when I was told I was attending Japanese restaurant Mikuni’s relaunch. The next thing I said to myself was, “All right. Maybe I’ll wear a wasabi green colour eyeshadow just in case they dont get the hint.” I was darn hungry and I was going to make sure I was fed at that launch. So, green it was for my face of the day.

Green seems to be the colour of season (for me at least) considering that I had already worn a deeper shade of it during my secondary school’s 10 year reunion. Instead of pairing it with the gold/yellow like I normally do, I opted for brown because wasabi’s roots are brown (arent they?). It doesnt seem like a very pretty combination when you think about it. Maybe I should have stuck with the Japanese makeup style just because I was going to have me some sashimi, but the final look turned out pretty well!

And when I went to Drink Culture for a friend’s birthday afterwards, I decided to stick to the theme of green and have me a kiwi cocktail. Well, okay, I didnt do it deliberately. I genuinely like kiwi. But it really matches my face of the day make up no? Haha.

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!

Spring

The arrival of Chinese New Year signals the arrival of Spring time in the Chinese Lunar calendar. The best thing about Chinese New Year is getting all dressed up in new clothes and going visiting. Instead of rocking a red look this year, I went with a soft romantic face of the day complete with flowers to welcome Spring.

First it came in Original and the Eden garden. Next, Urban Decay asked you to join them in Sin. And now, if your deadly sin is Greed, this is for you.

Urban Decay Primer Potion Greed

The Urban Decay Primer Potion is by far one of the best make up primers around. Newbies in make up probably wont use make up primers, but I’m starting to think it’s quickly earning a regular spot in my basic make up must haves.

Urban Decay has been very clever with reinventing their make up primers. They’ve introduced 2 previous colours – Eden and Sin, with their Primer Potions and now the third tinted Primer Potion, Greed, is a shimmering gold. The perfect embodiment of the deadly sin its named after.

What I really love about the Urban Decay Primer Potion is its great versatility. Thanks to its tint, you can wear on its own ala cream eyeshadow, or even as a radiant brow bone highlighter. Of course, you’d also use it for its original purpose of giving you more intense eyeshadow colours sans creases.

Already available on Sephora.com, I wonder when this Urban Decay Primer Potion will hit the counters of Sephora Singapore. Ah yes, Greed. Such a perfect adjective for describing my make up desires. But with a colour like that, wouldnt you say my desires are warranted?

I hope you honestly didnt think that I would step into Sephora Singapore on their 1st birthday bash and leave with only ONE eyeshadow palette did you? The Urban Decay Naked Palette is a massively hot seller and I had to pick it up that very day because it was fresh from delivery!

Urban Decay Naked Palette

The moment the Urban Decay Naked Palette (SGD 73) hit the shelves of Sephora Singapore, it sold out within a day. When I heard the news, I was devastated. But I absolutely refuse to queue for my make up so I tried to get the coveted palette from the Sephora stores overseas. Sadly, my valiant attempts were met with failure because they too were sold out in the States!

Urban Decay Singapore Naked Palette

It’s easy to see why the Urban Decay Naked Palette is highly sought after. The rich chocolate brown velvet surface opens up to reveal 12 multifaceted neutral shades that promise to take you from everyday neutral to deep and smouldering. Throw in some summer bronzed looks and you’re all set to rock any sort of situation with this palette. Packed with Urban Decay’s best make up primer, the Urban Decay Primer Potion, and two eyeliners, the Urban Decay Naked Palette is most certainly the best companion for the girl who is comfortable naked. ;)

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3

Happy Birthday Sephora Singapore! Thank you for being one of my absolute favourite make up stores in Singapore. I’m so glad you opened up here in Singapore because you stock absolutely everything that a make up collector junkie like me could ever want.

It was just yesterday, literally, that I made my way down to Sephora Sinagpore get the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3. It also happened to be their very 1st birthday! I was really lucky I got my hands on one of these amazing palettes because there were loads of people in the store. Sephora Singapore had stocked so many pretty packages all wrapped in bows, perfect for gifts for Christmas and people were shopping themselves silly. But I was only there for one thing.

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3 Palette Swatch

I now have another eyeshadow palette to add to the obscene number of existing palettes I have in my make up bag. What did I tell you about the Book of Shadows being gorgeous? It was bigger than I expected too!

When I first set eyes on it, I was stunned. My heart skipped a beat and I couldnt believe that the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3 was within my reach. At the same time, however, I was taken aback by its size. It really is almost the size of a book! But since I missed the Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows, I didnt want to miss out on this one too. Another reason I HAD to have it was the fact NYC held so many great memories for me when I was there this year.

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3

I cannot help but gush at the lovely pop up that greets you when you first open the eyeshadow palette. If you’ve been to New York, you’ll realise they’ve included all the major landmarks of NYC. This is definitely the perfect memento to take home whether not you’ve been to New York. Central Park, Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty and the iconic yellow Taxi are conveniently packed into the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3 for you to take home and fall in love with New York City.

If you arent already enchanted by the City that Never Sleeps, let me tempt you with a travel sized bottle of Urban Decay’s best primer potion. Yes, the very same Urban Decay Primer Potion you see in the eyeshadow palette above.

To win, all you need to do is answer the question below in the comment section with your name and working email and you stand a chance to win the travel sized Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Where can you find the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3?

Contest closes Friday, 19th November 12 noon and is limited to Singapore addresses only.
