Avenue M & Laneige

Posted by Royalette at 2:00 PM 0 comments

Advertorial:

Avenue M is Metro’s online identity, that is created for every girl and style, whether it’s glamourous, rock chick or geek chic.

Christmas has always been my favourite festive season and in collaboration between Metro and Laneige, I was given this Limited Edition Laneige Holiday Makeup Kit to try out!

I am an absolute junkie when it comes to makeup and what more, if it’s Limited Edition! Also, I am quite a fan of Laneige’s Water Sleeping Pack and also their Loose Powder, so I was pretty excited to get my hands on these babies to try them out!

I received the Styling Romantic Blusher II (S$49), the Styling Romantic Eye Palette (S$45) and the Styling Lip Duo (S$32) in Coral Beige.

The products come in a pretty white and gold packaging, certainly bringing out the extravagant and romantic feel!



One thing that I liked about the products was the detailed baroque motifs embossed on the product itself!


The Styling Romantic Blusher II, which is a four-colour multi blusher, consists of a matte orange, matte peach, a shimmer rose and shimmer lemon for highlight! If you look closely, the shimmer rose has very pretty golden flecks in them!


The 3 colour multi-eyeshadow Styling Romantic Eye Palette that consists of a pearly beige highlight, a shimmery pink eyeshadow and a shimmery deep brown eye shadow.




Both the blusher and the eye shadow palette were surprisingly very pigmented and apply very easily. However, in order for the colours to appear more vibrant or to intensify your look, you would need to build up the layers on your eyelids! I would also suggest using an eye shadow primer prior to applying the eye shadow, so that it stays on longer.

The Romantic Styling Lip-Duo consists of a moisturizing tinted lip colour and gloss.


I absolutely love the lip-duo! Not only is it moisturizing, the colour is amazing!



Christmas has always been a rather dressy occasion for me, so I created a soft romantic dinner look!
For the eyes, I used more of the pearly beige and shimmery pink to create that soft romantic feel and lightly used the deep brown in the crease to create depth. To darken the look, I used black liquid eyeliner.

For the cheeks, I swept a mix of the matte orange, matte peach and shimmer rose. I then highlighted the top of my cheekbones and my nose with the shimmer lemon!



You guys can get your hands on Laneige's Limited Edition Styling Romantic Makeup Range at all Metro Stores – City Square Mall, Paragon, Sengkang and Woodlands.

Once you have, don't forget to share the looks that you've created!

Shopping Date with Sarah

Posted by Royalette at 12:58 PM 0 comments

Met up with Sarah for a shopping date last week,
after I had my 3rd cervical cancer jab! :)
(Ahem, thanks Sarah for holding my hand through the jab!)

I love shopping with Sarah because she really helps me pick out the best stuff!
The bad thing is, she encourages everything! But still, mad ♥ !

Got my hands on a few dresses, rings and two awesome hats!
Been obsessed with my hats for the last week, lol.

I went to Metro with an intention to stock up on my make up stuff,
but couldn't find some brands at the outlet in Paragon.
But here's some stuff that I got from Metro with my gift card!

I've been looking around for a good loose powder and
Sarah recommended me to check out Laneige.

I'm not really picky about my loose powder, except that
the current one that I'm using from Kate is little coarse.

We went to the counter and the sales assistant explained quite
abit about the product and the application; and I was sold!
The powder was very smooth and it smelt really good!

Aside from that, I got my hands on the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack!
I've heard many people rave about this and well, it's just convenient!
Been using it daily ever since. Haven't seen any difference yet though..

The sales assistant was really nice and provided us with free samples!
Haven't had the time to try them out yet, but maybe I will today!

Also, I had to get my hands on the OPI Shatter nail polishes!

I actually popped by Metro at City Square Mall to get my
Revlon Photoready Foundation! But I got it in the wrong shade,
and now I've to make my way back to get it changed! ^%@*&

Next up, popped by Watson's to stock up on my Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion
and the Hado Labo Hydrating Masks! Products that I swear by!

Ever since I've been going for facials to treat my acne,
my skin type has changed from oily to dry!

So to kinda balance out the drying treatments that I've been doing,
I've incorporated hydrating products into my daily skincare regime! :)

Gotta thank Sarah for the awesome company!
I miss having her around daily!!

For our next shopping date, Sarah and I are gonna conquer Bugis! Can't wait!
