FOTD, MAC pigments and another new dress

I hope your week is going well so far!

I still have about an hour to figure out what to wear before I head out for a bit. I haven't quite decided what to wear so it's just an FOTD here.

I'm wearing a new bathrobe that was gifted to me earlier this week and it's from Jacob Lingerie

Products Used:

Eyes

UDPP (base)

MAC Satin Taupe eye shadow (all over upper lids and along lower lashline)

MAC Stately Black eye shadow LE (outer V and some on outer 1/3 of upper lids)

MAC Melon pigment (smudged a bit on middle of lids on top of Satin Taupe)
MAC Vanilla pigment (highlight)

MAC Mylar eye shadow (tear duct)

MAC Blitz and Glitz fluidline (upper lashline, lower lashline, waterline)

MAC Prep + Prime lash

L'oreal Voluminous mascara

MAC #3 lashes

Face

Revlon Colourstay foundation in Natural Beige

MAC Prep + Prime translucent powder

Cargo Blu Ray blush/highlighter

Smashbox highlighter (not sure what's the name)

Cargo Bronzer in Medium

Lips

Nothing

I might be a bit late in reporting this but MAC repackaged their pigments. I went out earlier this week and picked up a few pigments: vanilla, melon and cornflower.

Here's MAC Vanilla pigment in the new packaging (left) and MAC Naked pigment in the old packaging (right):

Look at the size difference! The price is still $23.50 CDN. When I was at the store, I knew the new packaging had less pigment but I could not recall how much was in the old pigment jars. Here it is: the old pigments had 7.5 g (0.26 oz)

I looked at the backside of the new pigment to compare.

Oh wait, those smart asses didn't write the weight on the new pigment jars (no, there's no sticker on the bottom indicating the weight either).

It's on the box which you pretty much discard right away:

I've never been great in Math (ugh! sucky Asian genes LOL) but if I'm right, the new pigments have 40% less than the old ones! And it's still the same price. I know, I think I whine too much.

So, if there's a pigment you really want, I suggest you check out your local MAC soon and try to get it in the old pigment format size before they sell out and restock only the new smaller sizes.

I also picked up a dress at Forever21 earlier this week. When I saw it online I wanted it right away. Thank goodness they had it in stock. The picture on the website looks much better here:

I love lace and I love white/off white (which is usually not that flattering on me):

I'm in love with the nude pumps above. Although they are Guess shoes, I got them from the Bay last week (they do not carry this particular colour at the Guess stores around me) and I've already stuck comfort pads into them!

I hope you're having a lovely start to your weekend! Let me know what you're up to :)

Miley Cyrus desperate to get married

The 17-year-old star, who recently denied that she is engaged to Hemsworth, has been joking to pals about the possibility of changing her name to match her 18-year-old boyfriend's.

"Miley is crazy in love with Liam and keeps joking that Miley Hemsworth sounds so fancy and sophisticated. She says she can't wait to turn 18 this year so she that could do whatever she wants even if it means marrying her boyfriend," said a source.

Miley Cyrus supports suicide prevention campaign

Hannah Montana actress Miley Cyrus is lending her support to a suicide prevention group to help land them a 625,000-pound grant.

The 17-year-old star shot for a video calling out fans to vote for the To Write Love On Her Arms organisation to win the Chase Community Giving program.

“I don’t think people really realise what a problem (suicide) is and how many people really struggle with depression and end up taking their lives for it, especially so many young people out there so I think it’s really important we all get involved,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

“The money will go towards the launch of a live online crisis network which will be really amazing for all these people that just need a family and community.

“I think it’s an amazing cause and I really want everyone to go out there and get involved,” she added.

Do anything that you want to do,

"Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes." - Elvis

I didn't realize it til this past weekend - I don't own a pair of blue shoes. Do you?

My friend Dale was in town and the nice gentleman he is, he took me shopping :)

One was a pair of blue suede shoes from Sterling.

Dale picked up this dress for me from Forever21 as well and thought it would go well with a pair of blue shoes.

A closer up of my makeup. It was at the end of a long day.....so there is some redness as my foundation/concealer was rubbing off :\

I'm only using MAC Tempting eyeshadow, paired with MAC #1 falsies, MAC Blitz & Glitz fluidline and L'oreal Voluminous Mascara. My lipstick is long worn off so my lips are bare. A hint of MAC HK Fun & Games blush may still be visible....

And since Sterling had a sale (buy one get the second pair for 40% off), Dale also picked up these nude flats for me.

I've been looking around for a pair of nude flats for the longest time *sigh* Almost all that I came across had a kitten heel which I find difficult to walk in. Do you wobble too a bit in kitten heels like I do? LOL Or is it just me? ..... Well, when I saw these flats I had to get them!

And I thank Dale again for a few pieces of jewelry he picked up for me at Pink Peony :)

And for the lovely roses he sent to me.

Well, it's Friday now! Do you have any plans for tonight or the weekend?! Let me know! :)

Miley Cyrus Talks Stress Management

While she’s been on top of her game from a very young age, Miley Cyrus has had her fair share of complications- namely a heart condition called tachycardia.

And as a result, the “Hannah Montana” actress has to be careful with her stress level, something that’s easier said than done in the entertainment industry

Miley Cyrus Denies Marraige Rumours

Stepping out for a pampering session, Miley Cyrus was spotted making her way around Studio City, California on Saturday night (January 16).

The “Hannah Montana” hottie strolled along past paparazzi after getting a mani/pedi at Nail Garden salon.

The sighting comes after engagement rumors were debunked, with Miley/Liam Hemsworth marital chat starting after Miss Cyrus was spotted wearing a sparkly ring on her left hand.

Keeping the message short and sweet, the Disney darling’s rep told press, “Miley’s not engaged.”

I have not been up to much lately....

Hi! I hope the New Year is off to a wonderful start for you :)

What have you been up to?

I have not been up to much lately. On the Sunday after New Year's I fell sick and the symptoms were similar to a milder version of stomach flu. It kept me sick until this past Saturday - a full week! I had to stay home all week since I could not wander far from a washro0m LOL :(

I can't wait until the weekend to party so tomorrow night I have plans to hit up a decent nightclub - Cobra. I'm not a fan of the steps to the dancefloor (do you not agree with me that a club should have no stairs unless to a washroom?! I saw chicks fall down walking to the dancefloor because you couldn't see the steps and the freakin techno lights do not help the situation).

I was lucky to befriend the owner of Cobra (he also owns my favourite nightclub called Branthouse) before Christmas and here's a picture of my best friend Jasmin and I partying it up with Johnny, the owner. Here we're at Cheval nightclub which he also owns and I really like Cheval especially on a Sunday night.


Left to right: Jasmin, Johnny and myself.

On New Year's Eve my girlfriend Jasmin was out of town on a flight to Thailand :( So I was alone. Johnny invited me out which was nice of him and I joined him and a whole bunch of people that night at Cobra nightclub. After passing New Year's eve there, I ran over to Branthouse for the remainder of the night and met a couple of really nice girls and guys :)

All the pictures at New Year's eve was taken on someone else's camera and I do not have their contact information :( I hope pictures of me all buzzed don't end up on that person's Facebook account or what not LOL. But this was a couple of pictures I took of myself before leaving my place.

My typical smokey eye:

Sorry, I have no idea what I was starring at LOL. My boyfriend took this picture of me. He was sitting down when he took this picture - that's why I look sort of masculine here for some strange reason LOL.

The shoes I wore on New Year's Eve are sooooo comfortable! I love Guess shoes for that reason. I have the same shoe in black which my friend bought for me :) So what did I do? I went and bought myself the nude version! Here's a closer picture of the patent nude leather platform shoes I wore and you can still buy it here:

I also got a second pair of shoes at Guess which are just as comfortable as the ones above. Similarly, it also has a nice built in rubber sole so the grip is good - buying those anti-slip sole stickers just are not the same as having a built in rubber sole. I love lace overlay so I had to grab them and you can still buy it here:

Let me know what you have been up to!

Have a lovely day =)
