Saints Vs Sinners

Hi ladies!

As most of you know, I am a sucker for Anna Sui and Jill Stuart makeup. Warning, this post is really picture heavy but...

I promised pictures and here they are!

Firstly, my translucent powders.
I love the anti-Sui and the Anti-Jill.


This is my shimmery transulcent powder. It smells like roses but to be honest, I haven't even opened it yet. I LOVE makeup but I tend to hoard. The words 'special edition' also strike a cord in my soul.



Pretty in pink! While Anna Sui is edgy, Jill Sturt is the ultimate girly girl makeup. It smells like roses too but a more subtle fragance. A very toned down Anna Sui.

STASH! (The eye makeup palette is old but the rest are new.) 2 different types of blushers, a lipgloss and an eye palette.



Swatched without and with flash. Like most 'japanese' makeup, it's subtle and shimmery. Very good for a toned down dewy look. I piled on the eyeshadow because just a swipe is barely enough to show any colour.



Blusher No 1. Note the 2 tone powder. And the little bling bow on the brush! The brush is NOT great. I think it's goat (from the smell). The brush just doesn't seem to capture the powder at all. Use your own. But it's so pretty. Imagine taking this out of your Fendi in the powder room. Feel the death envy glares :P


Blusher No 2. A 4 tone blusher designed to contour your cheeks. It's untouched but I do have one that I am using. It's great to add a rosy shimmer to your skin. It does give a very natural glow. Again, brush sucks!

Note BIG PINK BLING! Soooo in love! I haven't tried it yet. Cos, I have wayyyy too much. But so pretty, how to use?



Bonus item! This is not Anna nor Jill. Who is it by? Guerlain, that's who. I love the kohl applicator. The packaging? Again to die for. It reminds one of exotic Istanbul, I can almost smell the shisah and turkish delight. Note the holographic quality of the eyeshadow. It's like a mermaid's tail. Hmm... Turkish Delight.

Speaking of which, I'll just go sniff my transulcent powder. Might just keep the sweet cravings away.

But I hope you ladies enjoyed the pictures. I'm sorry I can't say too much about application or wear time.
My eye shadows are used with a base, Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Worth it, makeup will not move.

Soooo, til then,
Happy polishing!

Old NOTD: Frosty Goodness

Rainbow polishes were afoot again! Again, nameless and numberless. Nothing on the bottle to indicate anything.
With flash indoors. Most colour accurate.
VNL very visible. I used 3 thin coats. I don't like frosts but I keep buying them. *palm to face* And I HATE VNL. I think it's soooo ugly. Needless to say, this lasted on my nails for 5 minutes. Just to take pictures.

And some products I love. Note the pretty packaging!

Jill Stuart Fruit and Aroma Mist. Rose scented. It moistures the skin with just a spray! And it smells heavenly too. I do use this on occasion to set my makeup. Or before I apply my liquid foundation.
Anna Sui makeup base primer. It's a WONDER! If I use it, my foundation lasts alllll night, even with dancing and sweat. Plus, like all Anna Sui products, it smells so good. I love the scent of roses but I'm not too fond of the flavour.

PS I know I say frosty goodness, although I don't like the finish, but it is GOOD for a frost. I guess.

NOTD: Anna Sui No. 333 and some OPI Buys

Hellos all!

This is a light shimmer glittery pink. 2 coats.
But I hated it on my nails. It makes them look sooooo yellow and gross. The only up side is the rose scent.
Imagine using a single rose petal to dig your nose. ^^ It's just like that.

I have a really bad habit of scratching my nose when I'm nervous. So when I had that meeting with my boss, at least it smelt pretty. >,<

But I did buy something. Although I should be saving more money...

Can you guess which 2 colours?




































Close up! Caaaaaaaan you guess?

Yes! It is!

By the way, I promised this lovely lady from nailpolishuk that I would have my swap list up and ready by Friday.

Happy belated Vesak day to all Buddhists! Sorry to digress.

It has been rainy here in Singapore. Dark and overcast. The pictures I took were crap. So let's hope Sunday is a sunny day.

Will swatch these 2 polishes soon.

Byes all!

More Polishes and an update

Work has exploded. And because of my extreme procastination of paperwork, I am suffering now. I deserve it though. No one to blame but meself.

And yes, about comments. I am a tech idiot/moron/dimwit/dumbo. I stupidly turned on 'No comments allowed'. But it should all be working now. *cross fingers*

But yes, on to happier things. I am shopping tomorrow for my giveaway. And I have decided to have 2 prizes! A grand prize *drumroll* and a mini prize! Rules and such at a later date.

And I shall have to give thanks to my good friend Ash(not her real name). She *sniff sniff* shifted back to Canada a few days back and I'm going to miss her loads. Although I'm seeing her in December, cos I'm planning on spending Christmas in Vancouver! Ohhhhhh, Claires! But I digress.

Since my darling Mama Ash was leaving, she gave me her mini nail polish hoard.

So I have 16, almost new, polishes! (Including a mini Sui ^^ ) Ash buys polishes I would never buy for myself. In case you haven't noticed, I love bright polishes, especially green and purple. Ash is a classy classic chick. So, her stash is mostly pinks, pales and bright chilli reds. But it's lovely! Thanks honey!

(L to R) Revlon 751 Blackberry, Revlon 680 Revlon Red (classic), Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 24 Blackout, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 11 Lavender Envy, Sally Hansen Diamond Strength 66 True Love, Sally Hansen Diamond Strength 37 Beautiful Blossom, Sylvie Biggest Collection 11j, Sylvie Biggest Collection 15j, Rimmel 60secs 640 Twinkle, Rimmel 60 secs 819 Green with envy, Anna Sui (gush) 14b, Canmake 8011, Canmake 8022, OPI Done out in Deco, Honey Sweet Long Stay 160, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Spell.
Hope you like this post! ^^ And much love to Romika and Skulda! Thanks ladies for pointing out the comments issue. And I do read your blogs! ^^ I just prefer bookmarking blogs rather than following. Which I have only recently learnt to do. You guys are the greatest! *blows kisses*

Bonus Pictures: My 2 dogs

Cookie! And Floppy! They are both impossible to photograph. Typical animals move to much. Floppy's picture is a bit dark but I am useless at photshop.
