Additional Information:

To further enhance your eyes, apply double eyelid tape and put on circle lens like I did prior to eyeliner application.

The purpose of adding the 'wing' is to give your eyes that sultry look. For a more innocent look, try drawing the eyeliner downwards before 'wing-ing' it out.

Remember to apply mascara to make your eyes look more awake and fresher! I totally skipped this because I was rushing out after taking the pictures. Oops. :X

Products used:

1) MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved
2) Kate Gel Liner in BR-1

This has got to be one of the most requested tutorial from my readers, especially those whom have small eyes or single/hooded-eyelids. Let me know if you girls like this post because I am actually planning to do a series of tutorials for larger looking eyes using different makeup techniques/items.

I hope that this tutorial is of help to you. If there is anything that you don't understand, just ask me either over at my Formspring or email me yea? Let me know if you have any requests and I will see what I can do. (:

Till then!

Love,

Hi lovelies, it has been a long time since I last made a video tutorial. But nevertheless, I managed to put this up for you lovelies this morning.

Fake nails are especially good and useful when you are in need of a manicure and you are pressed for time. Besides, it can be reused many times, provided that you are careful with them.

There are a lot of places which sells fake nails. I got mine from Shugar (they do customized nails, hence the design which you see here is one-of-a-kind) last year and the double-sided nail tape that came with it doesn't really withstand big movements. I remembered that in fact, one of my fake nails drop off when I was washing my hands. However, this time round I used Vivi Pink Nail Glue which I thought was really effective as the fake nails were firmly stuck onto my real nails for the whole night! Removing was a pain though as I had to soak them.

This is the nail glue which I mentioned in the video.

And my fake nails, aren't they lovely? I think it looks a little bridal though. But I chose this design because I love champagne, cream and white. Not forgetting pearls and silver Swarovski crystals which are my favorites too!

I know you probably got sick of my haul entries. I have been haul-ing too much lately, yes I know. Let me know what kind of posts (Tutorials/FOTD/OOTD) you would want to see over here at SweetestSins yea?

And yes, I totally cannot wait for Season 2 of Glee to be released!

Manicare Foundation Wedges, Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

These foundation wedges from Manicure are like my favourite! I have been buying and using them for at least 3 years, ever since I got my Lancome liquid foundation. I don't know about others, but I love using these foundation sponges for liquid foundation. I feel that it blends out evenly compared to a foundation brush. The only downside that most beauty gurus would say about foundation sponges are that they absorb or rather 'eat' up your foundation rather quickly. But that doesn't really matter that much to me for I have never ever hit pan on any makeup items until recently when my Majolica Majorca Powder Blush in RD255 hitted pan! Its a really lovely peachy pink shade and in my opinion, a natural flush of color to the cheeks.

What do you do when your makeup sponges is covered with makeup? DON'T CHUCK THEM AWAY! You could wash them like I do in the video below. Each makeup sponge has a lifespan of probably 2-3 washes before they are worn out and cannot be used anymore.

And so, I finally gotten my Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm as well. I have been comtemplating whether a not to get it since I didn't really like any of the previous lip balms which I owned and I ended up switching to Palmers Lip Butter Dark Chocolate & Peppermint instead. Palmers Lip Butter Dark Chocolate & Peppermint is really tasty, so much that you cannot resist licking your lips. It provides more of a glossy look. The Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm is rather minty too. For a lip balm, I would say that it does its job rather well as it does moisturize my lips. Not too bad for the price tag of $6.

I was watching a recent Korean Marine look by Tuniez83 on Youtube and I really liked her lip color. Its a very sweet hot fuschia pink, but yet subtle because of the glossy look.

Hence, I went out shopping for a dupe of it. I was browsing randomly in The Face Shop and I tested out several colors which might like look it. And I ended up walking away happily with Face&It All About Lipstick Glossy in PK102.

Face&It All About Lipstick Glossy in PK102

I like the fact that its super glossy and it doesnt exaggerate lip lines or dry lips. I think this would be my to-go lipstick from now on!

Stay tuned for upcoming posts!
