my favorite LUX base makeup products ???????

Hello beautiful gorgeous people!
Today, I’ll be sharing my favorite luxury brand base makeup. I don’t use them too often (because they’re expensive… and yeah that’s about it. haha) BUT they really are SOOO GOOOD and sooooo WORTH every penny.
PRIMER: Guerlain L’OR RADIANCE CONCENTRATE WITH PURE GOLD, $74(USD)
Guerlain l’Or is an embellishing make-up base sprinkled with pure 24-carat gold flakes. Like the most luxurious jewellery pieces, the precious flakes were crafted into ultra-sparkling and ultra-reflective particles, then dispersed in a hydrating smoothing gel. The complexion is beautified. It glows with divine and unfailing radiance. Skin is smooth, supple and satiny, ready for perfect, enhanced and long-lasting make-up.
Why I love it: Tati Westbrook, youtube beauty guru, actually did a review on this months and months ago and I decided to try it when I got a discount price at David Jones (AU) months and months ago as well. It leaves my skin tightened and firm and just pure luxurious every time after I apply this. PLUS, my makeup last really longer than normal using this. It also gives my face a natural glow, which is really amazing since I have a lot of redness in my face, and I have oily T-zone.
FOUNDATION: DIORSKIN AIRFLASH SPRAY FOUNDATION, $62(USD)
The go-to solution for professional makeup artists, Dior’s Airflash is the first revolutionary spray foundation that brings airbrushed perfection to your daily makeup routine.
The Dior laboratory has created an Airflash formula that is lighter and silkier than ever for a fabulously even, flawless and radiant finish. Paraben-free and infused with fresh natural oils that evaporate as soon as they land, it settles with no visible texture as a silky-smooth veil with long-wearing coverage. The result is instant: a super-smooth, velvety complexion that feels like a second skin, full of radiance and glow. State-of-the-art complexion perfection.
Why I love it: It’s long lasting, easy to apply (spray then blend with a brush or beauty blender. For more coverage, I prefer a kabuki brush), and it has medium to full coverage. The only thing is, here in Australia (I got mine from Myer) they only offer limited shades (I think there were only 4!) but on their website (click on the link above), there are 11 shades available. I haven’t tried airbrush foundation before, so I can’t really say if the finish of this foundation really looks airbrushed. But I must say, it is flawless. What more can I say? It has lasted me almost a year now, and I still have lots left. But I only use it probably 4 times a month, on the average. I have oily T-zone, a bit of dry skin now (which I don’t have before!), so combo skin. But this works for me. My T-zone doesn’t really grease up until probably after the 4th hour mark or so…
HIGHLIGHTER: YSL TOUCHE ÉCLAT, $42(USD)
Touche Eclat is a cult favorite among top makeup artists, models, celebrities and women everywhere. 1 Touche Eclat is sold somewhere in the world every 10 seconds. This golden pen is the #1 beauty tool and makeup bag essential for the modern woman.
Not just a concealer, Touche Eclat is the original face highlighter that launched a new generation of makeup. It emphasizes radiance over coverage and does not mask the skin for a more natural, luminous complexion. You won’t see Touche Eclat makeup, you’ll see the light.
Learn How to apply Touche Eclat to erase fatigue, highlight features and lighten dark spots and circles. The evanescent texture blends seamlessly on bare skin or over makeup. Touche Eclat is 8 hours of beauty sleep in a click.
Why I love it: It sure isn’t a bestseller for no reason. This concealer is pretty hyped up amongst all beauty lovers all over the world. Also used as a highlighter, and I mainly use it as a highlighter because it is not pigmented enough to hide well, pigmentations I use it under the eye and along the bridge of my nose. I’ve seen it all around the beauty world and went back over and over to different YSL counters to try them and test them out (yes, I’m one of those hehe). Finally, when I was on the airport last year, since it was 20%off the regular price, I risked it and just bought them. It’s really good. I may have had the “why did I buy this?!” moment, but it was immediately squashed by the amazingness of the product. It is quite tricky though to be able to find the perfect primer, foundation and this concealer combination. There was a time when the skin under my eye were dry-ish, and I used a silicone-based primer that day and they just don’t mesh well under dry skin. So, beware! I managed to still have them up to now (many many months after), as I don’t use it everyday. (it’s expensive!)
Anyway, I thought I’d just share to you interested people out there, what lux products I use for special occasions. They’re not cheap and if you’re not willing, I suggest don’t buy them. But if you’re keen to try them out, go to the nearest makeup counters and ask for samples (if they do give them but for these ones I was told they don’t), or you can just let the beauty advisers try them on you and test them out for the rest of the day. As for me, this is my experience and opinion.
Have a lovely shopping!
xoxo,

My Lips are sealed, it's all about the lips baby! ???

.
.
For those of you out there who are not aware, I am a self-confessed lipstick junkie. I love them: wearing them, collecting them, staring at them…YEP. I’m weird like that. I even have this picture on a lips chair! I love them yet I don’t wear them all the time. I have lipstick ON days, and lipstick OFF days. Is that weird? We are who we are. I am who I am.
.
.
.
What is this post all about anyway? Well, I just wanted to share my lipstick collection. Picture below:
.
.
.
.
.
.
It’s not as much as other people have, but with this amount, I already get overwhelmed. I wouldn’t mind having one or two lipstick, or one of every color known to man, and honestly I would probably buy more if given the chance. I do give away a lot as well.
.
Different lipsticks, different functions?
.
There are different types of ‘lipsticks’ now in the market.
.
There are ‘liquid lipsticks‘, which are melted lipsticks with the same application with lipgloss. They are designed to last longer on the lips. My favorite formula is from the Rimmel brand line. They last all day, doesn’t chip away and are very affordable! Liquid lipsticks are the hype right now. Almost every brand comes out with their own version own formula of it.
.
Then there are the lip liners. They basically exist for you to line your lips and avoid “spillage” of the lipstick “ink”, if such terms exist. Some people line their or other people’s lips to make them appear bigger than they are (the trend Kylie Jenner didn’t invent yet became popular because of her). Not as a pillage to her, but I love the Kylie Lip kit lipliners. They’re not the cheapest out there but I just love them and mine are shrinking as the days go by.
.
Lipstick crayons. What?! Basically, these lipsticks are packaged in the “crayon” sorta way. Colourpop Cosmetics are popular with this. But I think, I could be mistaken though, Revlon started this trend years ago. They tend to last longer than the normal classic lipsticks. ;0
.
Lip stains. I am pretty sure the Koreans have made this popular, via Kpop industry. That’s my take though. Don’t quote me on that! Lip stains are basically “lip tints” where you just leave your lips to look naturally red, or pink, or whatever color your heart desires.
.
Lipstick Finish, what are they?
.
This is the matte, satin, creamy, gloss, stain, sheer… you name it, the makeup companies have it! Just so you won’t be confused, you can just categorize them into matte or satin. If they look dry, they’re matte. If it’s shiny? It’s satin. There are lipsticks that are comfortable on the lips, and some can be extremely annoying too.
.
Too much information? You don’t have to know all of those things! I didn’t even study them, I just learned along the way. Anyway, at the end of the day, does it really matter what we wear on our lips? What comes out of our mouth is much more important than the aesthetics we present to people, hey?
.
love you guys! thanks for dropping by.
(PS. Would you want me to post my favorite lipsticks? )

So many people are shifting in to the Vegan lifestyle nowadays. From 0.4% in 2015, it has then spiked to 6%, that’s 600% increase! (Global Data) Despite that amazing growth, many people are still hesitant to take the plunge or try Veganism. Why? Well, let’s look at 5 common myths about the Vegan lifestyle, specifically […]
On Monday, the 4th of November, 2019, I launched my Plant-based lifestyle online course I call “HOW 2B PB”, which simply means, “How to be Plant-based”. Why this online course? As a Jesus-loving human being, I firmly believe God called us to love Him and one another, be in a relationship with Him and to […]

HOW 2BPB – Plant-based Weighloss Online Course LAUNCH!

On Monday, the 4th of November, 2019, I launched my Plant-based lifestyle online course I call “HOW 2B PB”, which simply means, “How to be Plant-based”.
Why this online course? As a Jesus-loving human being, I firmly believe God called us to love Him and one another, be in a relationship with Him and to steward His creation. He is coming back after all, and I don’t want to be caught red-handed killing and abusing His creation- humans, animals, the environment. I also truly believe how we act and serve each other is heavily influenced by the theology we believe and carry. I am not perfect, but “changed and changing still”, right?
So, I am extremely passionate about building the Church, fighting for social justice, and committed to living a sustainable life. I love the environment period. I strive to be a healthier version of myself, to continually equip myself to do the works God has planned for me in advance to do. Long story short, I desire to empower others, especially (drawn to serve) women, to live a life of abundant and encourage and teach you in faith, beauty, social justice, and sustainability. A mouthful, isn’t it? But in Jesus’ name, we can do it!
Shifting to the Plant-based lifestyle is one of the biggest ways we can help make a HUGE dent in solving the environment and climate emergency the world is facing right now. Recycling and using metal straws help yes, but the meat industry has a vast environmental footprint. (Another post) You can choose to keep living in the dark, but the fact remains the same. It’s not enough that we live comfortably in this generation. I strive to do my best to make this world habitable for the next generations. I don’t want to be an advocate of anything because I love peace! I want everyone to be OK. And I know to fight and advocating for something, whether it be my faith, social justice- freedom for slaves, or this- the Plant-based lifestyle. It’s hard enough disciplining and educating myself, how much more educate others?
I always go back to my “Why” who is Jesus. I cannot stand blindly while the person next to me still needs to hear what I’ve heard, and see what I’ve seen, and yet to hear what I’ve heard.
And so, on Monday, finally, I launched the Plant-based online course! Yay. It is not only to help one live a healthier life, lose weight in the process, therefore saving yourself but ultimately you are saving the planet for the next generation.
In the morning, I hosted a live masterclass on Plant-based lifestyle. And when evening came, I gathered some of my closest friends (in Sydney) my home, cooked a “pokeo bowl” style meal for them, in the intention of showing it is easy to make Plant-based vegan food, and it is yummy. I have to say, even some of my meat-lover friends loved it, and that’s an ultimate win for me! I may have to just tour all over the world cooking for people! (haha!)
I am grateful to be able to do what I do. It is an absolute pleasure to love and serve people. And cheers to the beginnings of this advocacy. Cheers to you for still reading this right now.P.S. If you or anyone you know, are curious to try the Plant-based lifestyle, would like to live a healthier life, lose weight healthily, make a huge impact on the environment. You do not have to completely go vegan, but even “Meatless Mondays” or even better become Plant-based for most of the week. Whichever it is, I created this Online Course precisely for you. I made it so much easier! Head on to my Online Course Programs to enroll now.

I cannot lie, I have been very much into home interior design for the past two years. Hence having moved to two different apartments in the past two years, I’ve decorated my apartment/room in glee. I currently live in a supposed to be sunroom converted to bedroom, and it is the size of a studio […]
