Sleek MakeUP's Nude Collection

Here are the much awaited swatches of my newest Sleek MakeUP.  Thanks again to the beautiful Maria Sparkle.  She was kind enough to send me a few items from the nude collection.  I am dying to try them out.  

Top L-R: Nougat, Nubuck, Cappuccino, Honeycomb, Toast, Taupe

Bottom L-R: Conker, Moss, Bark, Mineral Earth, Regal, Noir 

This is a beautiful palette!  I cannot get enough neutral shades.  Majority of the eyeshadows are matte with just a few shimmery shades.  

L-R: Suede Blush and Bare Minimum Pout Polish

The blush is a matte light brown shade with some coral undertones.  If my skin was a bit lighter, I would definitely use this for contouring.  With the pout polish, it does as it says.  The color is to the bare minimum.  It gives you lips a nice colorless shine.  

Would you try any of these items?

Sleek MakeUP Pout Paint Swatches

Sleek MakeUP is a brand that I am continuously drooling over.  Thanks to my lovely fellow beauty blogger, Maria Sparkle, she sent me more Sleek MakeUP from our latest beauty swap.  Their pout paints is something I have been wanting to get my hands on.  

L-R: Mauve Over, Lava, Peachy Keen, and Pinkini

They are such beautiful and pigmented colors!  One day I hope to own them all.  Some colors I would use regularly and others are fun to wear on occasions.  

Do you own any pout paints?  Which is your favorite?

Birthday Gifts

This is such an overdue post!  But here are the goodies I got for my birthday.  They are just some small stuff I got from my aunty, inlaws, and cousin-in-law.  =)  

Items: Conair Instant Heat Rollers, Mele & Co Jewelry Box, Academy Colour

Have you tried any of these items before?

I really like this because now I could just put all of my jewelry in one case.

I have never heard of this brand before, but I am excited to try it.  I love the different colors it came with and the little pink and clear rhinestones that were included. 

This chain is very clever.  My cousin-in-law bought it for me because one night we went out and I told her I forgot to put lipstick on.  So she got me this, which you basically attach to your purse and voila you will ALWAYS have lipgloss on you. 

I promise this will be my last birthday post for this year.  ;)

EOTD & OOTD: Happy Birthday To Me

On December 4th, I celebrated my quarter life crisis (25th birthday).  My good friends and I went to a buffet for my dinner at Tsukiji at the Ala Moana Shopping Center.  Once we were done, we waited for Tsukiji to turn into a night club but they were taking too damn long.  So instead we headed to another night club called The Villas at the Aloha Tower Marketplace.  I had LOTS of fun.  There is nothing like good music, drink and friends to celebrate a memorable birthday.  <3  

EOTD

I have probably done this color combo for my eyes, but I just felt like using black and gold again.  It was just a simple look I did. 

OOTD

For my birthday, I wanted to use my little black dress that I bought at Charlotte Russe last year.  I actually did some alterations to it on my own.  It originally had sleeves, but I wanted them to go.  I think it looks great now.  My wristlet at hand is Coach. 

I FINALLY used my steve madden heels.  Even though it was my first time wearing them, my feet was not hurting as much as I thought!  I can definitely see myself buying more SM heels in the near future.  

Here is a picture of my friends and I after dinner.  I love them all.  We have literally been through so much in the past but our friendships were strong enough to surpass it all.  You guys are the best!  <333

At the end of the night, I was a bit drunk (as you can see from my face all flushed), but my makeup was still on!  Haha.  One thing I am sad about is that I forgot to put on my falsies.  =(  Oh wells.
