Artistic Eye Makeup Contest by Indian Vanity Case: Mysterious Arabic Peacock Eyes

 Happy Friday peeps!


Thanks to my sister, I stumbled upon a fun entry by Indian Vanity Case, the Artistic Eye Makeup Contest. This is a perfect excuse for me to be crazy and creative with those untouched rainbow of eyeshadow colors in my collection. I have to admit I had loads of fun creating this look, which I dubbed " Mysterious Arabic Peacock Eyes". I was inspired by the colors of a peacock feather: goldish yellow, green, blue and a touch of purple and pink. Hope you enjoy the visual effect!

Celebrating the Coral

Coral has been the in color for this year. Personally, I think the trend will still catch on next year. Speaking of which, Happy new Year everyone! 

Surprisingly, when I monitor my site referrals, lots of searches for "Coral Lips" come up. I guess girls are really interested to pull this color off. 

Coral is an exciting and energetic color. No wonder it  has become a favorite for a statement gesture. Coral-anything- nails, lips, dress, bag, shoes- is sure to pop and get the attention you deserve. Here are some of the coral things I own this year. Go check your closet, you may have gotten one (or more) too!

1) Coral Crack Nail color

I got this baby from a beauty expo in KLCC for RM 10. You can get a better quality one from OPI or the like. Crack technology is the new fashionable trend in the nail industry and the coral shade is to-die-for.

Don't you just love the color? It is a deep coral tone and  you can lighten it by putting white base underneath or for statement nails, layer black or purple at the bottom.

Just a fun wall art I found at IKEA. Nothing coral-lated. It's only $28 and you can put up your favorite pictures on and change them up when you're bored.

2) Coral Lips: Peaches and Cream

This lip color is by Sleek Makeup, called Peaches and Cream. Got it in London for 3 pounds. It has a very milky coral color and the texture is very creamy (need lipgloss on top).

Me and Peaches and Cream. Must bring it for touch-up as it has a very short life span on my lips. 

3) Coral dress

I got this Coral dress from Cotton on. It has a very summery feel to it and so comfortable to move in. Perfect with wedges and a big brown bag.

Random pic: My sis is doing my hair. Thanks Kakak!!

4) Coral Bag

This gold-chained faux leather coral clutch/shoulder bag is a bargain from Primark. I usually wear it on a night out with a black dress.

5) Coral Headband

I am crazy about these headband from HnM. I like the gold chain details and it is super goddess-y and boho at the same time. 

With my hair up, this band complements the bouffant hair style. I don't like to tease my hair too much, though. So a simple uplift using some hairspray will do.

6) Coral Wedges

These poppers from Vinnci look real good with blue skinny jeans. Love em. Quite comfortable for a long walk during the weekend window shopping.

So that's about it. Everything Coral that I own from head to toe: headband, dress,  nails, lipstick, clutch and bag. Of course I don't recommend wearing them all at once. A healthy dose of coral can always brighten up your day with no effort. What is something coral that you own? Do tell!!!

Pretty Lil Things from London: Statement Rings, French Manicure and Jewelery Box

Ahoy Cuppiecakes!

I am back all inspired to share with you the pretty little things I found while on an exploration to London City. Cheap jeweleries and makeup are so readily available from stores like Primark, Boots and even HnM!

Here are some of the treasures I found while on the voyage:


1) Mini French Manicure Set

I was at this shop called  Beauty Store at Oxford street and bought some makeup items when the cashier told me I can get one free item from the shelf and these cute mini frenchies caught my eyes.

To get a Frenh Manicure at a Salon will cost an arm and leg (RM40 and above) and they barely last longer than two weeks so I decided these will be great for those days when I feel like pampering myself.

French Manicure from Beauty UK comes in White, Pink and Top Coat

Tada! Don't nails look much healthier with pearl white tips and a flush of pink?

Steps: 

1) Layer nail with Pink

2) Apply White on  white tips

3) Apply Pink throughout nails

4) Apply Top Coat 

I also found this cute jeweled box from HnM

......with Lipgloss inside! It's so cute and feminine. The gloss is very sheer and pink so it looks good on top of colored tint or lippie. 

Lord of the Rings: 

My oversized purple butterfly ring. LOVE!

A bejeweled copper dangling earring from Forever 21

I found this cute Zebra-striped box for 5 pounds

It's a treasure chest for jeweleries. Convenient for frequent travelers to keep their favorite bling. I bought it because of it's nice ring display.

I know it's a tad late but Merry Xmas peeps!

Her's my look for a company dinner. Glitter sequined top, drop earrings, winged eyeliner and RED lips. I am wearing Runway Rouge by Stage.

Having the early Xmas dinner at Bubba Gump. I miss the real christmas food: Roasted Turkey, mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallow on top and eggnog! *crave* I miss decorating Christmas trees and playing game cards with friends.

I celebrated Xmas with a scented vanilla candle, Noels by Josh Groban and a good book. A very quiet Christmas indeed. How did you celebrate yours?
