finally got my theshespace package phew.
just a quick quick update before i sleep ^-^
i attempted an eye look, with the mcqueen colors stephie did with, but with theshespace pigments instead.
i absolutely love it! too bad the camera is stuck in my brother's car again, if not can post pics -_- . . . shall try again tmr if i have the camera!
brushes:
- lumiere eye buki for crease and blending
- a cheapo flat synthetic for pressing in the pigments
- a 1/4 inch flat angled art friend brush for lining and outter V
make up:
[in order of execution]
- MAC soft ochre paint pot lash to browbone, lower lash line as base.
- TSS Fairy Tale Failed from lash to slightly over the fold of double eyelid
- Red Earth MS118, a gold to substitute the McQueen Pharoah Paint Pot that Stephie used, on the crease, lightly
blend the edges. [think TSS Rocking Egyptian minus the peach plus more intense gold color]
- Red Earth MS118 lightly on inner 1/3
- TSS Cursed with Charisma wetlined on upper lash and outter lower lash, smudge
- TSS Cursed with Charisma outter V, outter crease
- tight rim eyeline with a black eyeliner
- Laneige Vanilla Beige to highlight brow, inner lower lash and tear duct
Oh ya! i also very very very lightly sweep a teeny bit of Cursed with Charisma over the Fairy Tale Failed, since FTF is a vibrant pastel green that leans towards teal but still too green, so a teeny sweep of CwC makes it more teal-ly..
tadaaa~!
can't wait to use the custom pigment Heather helped me formulate to recreate MAC RushMetal Collection's Cocomotion Pigment. me is totally head over heels with Cocomotion after viewing it in the one shadow eotd tutorial by stephie, that daize recommended some time back ^^
gorgeously understated with dimensions.. like a well figured lady in just white tshirt and dark blue jeans XD
[imho, that means really simple but pretty]
arh. i feel like i m sleep typing.. if this's not making sense, ignore me first ya. when i m wakey enough i will probably edit the post LOL.

the full size jar that i bought from Liz, i've not started on it yet, but the pigments within sure seems a lot, and even if i use them as foundation, i guess i will take a year!
gosh, i just ordered 30 grams of liquid foundation and 20 grames of petal veil to use as primer!!
LOL, bye lisa, look forward to my next order in 5 years ya~~ HA!

Weeeeee~! wonderful value for these goodies! looking forward to receiving them already =D
gotta wait for the new hydrosol so probably only getting this after May 1st =]
also ordered some custom shadows and velvets from theshespace, but due to the complex nature of my dream pigment mix, i cant remember what i have =P but Heather is custom designing a dupe of Cocomotion from MAC Rushmetal Collection for me now XD
OMG~!! this is so genius lor!
customized color bar!!
http://www.theshespace.com/thecustompigmentbar.html
heather has just launch the phase 1 of her color bar, with limited colors, but more colors are promised to come up!
Step 1: Choose the velvet base color
Step 2: Choose Iridescent, Pearl or Diamond Sparkles and its Color
Step 3: Voila~! Place order for your custom full size pigment!
omg, this is gonna be so unbelievably good! i've been dreaming of colors and finishes but just cant find them on the webbies. ever since receiving Paris from MADminerals as a free sample, i've fallen in love with prism-effect pigments =D
its like playing peek-a-boo xD pink this second, sparkly blue the next!
now can have say a tiffany blue kinda color, that has green iridescent, which when u look straight into the color, u see tiffany blue, when u look from a varying light, u see green!
cant wait to get my hands on to the color bar 0.0~!

www.theshespace.com
12 white
2 warm gold
2 ebony
argh. i've been twitching with the ratio cos the powder in the pot dun look like the powder in my lumiere pot. then i recalled:
lumiere's foundation runs a shade lighter than it looks when in the pot.
damn. end up still same ratio as khryz, should just followed her formula from the start and stay with it LOL. just that i attempt to make the powder more peachy with ebony, that's y have to add 5 more white to balance up.
but still, the powder look dead dead color.. dun look slightly 'alive' and peachy like my lumiere medium beige leh.
oh wells. shall wear tmr and see how it goes.
damn its way pass bed time.
this week is sorta mail week LOL. cos monday, though i was expecting SN, it turned out that Heather double-sent me a package by mistake. so i got a duplicate of what i received last week, plus 2 more complimentary eyeshadows.
today i was expecting lure, but SN came LoL. so tmr lure should be here =D then saturday or next monday will be mmbb since lisa said she would send it out on monday ^-^
oh, i am very impressed by karen's marketing effort =) the packaging, collaterals and the consumer psychology parts are well covered. *applause* she even included 2 vouchers in the form of name card that we can share with friends. and the samples are like filled to the brim in 5 gram jars at just $0.75 (promo price for leap year, think U.P. $1?)
anybody any idea if i can use that 5% voucher for my next purchase or is it only for 1st time customers?
best effort for customer relationship management goes to Lisa and Heather! kekex.
damn.. 6am already..
wahaha~! i is a happy girl xD
surprise #1
the lip junk smells like chocolate! didnt realize that cocoa butter is part of the ingredient =D
surprise #2
Heather included 3 complimentary samples from the february limited colors!
surprise #3
All the 3 complimentary samples are my favorite eyeshadow color - purple!
had mentioned to heather before that i love her purple eye shadows - pinch of magic and dance with devil. not sure if she remembered, or was coincidence that she picked these 3. either way, i really appreciate her kind thoughts amidst the blizzard of orders she's handling at the time!
Row Three From Left to Right:
The X Factor: Iridescent rasberry pink with sparkling copper and pink
The Wildest Child: Dazzling purple iridescent turns to magenta/violet
Burn your Bras: Metallic grape flashes sparkling confetti
the colors looks really vibrant in the baggies, and the shimmer is understated in this picture. can't wait to wear them!
yea! i got mail~! xD
did some swatches of the lumi lips to share ^-^
the pictures of my lips are a bit washed out cos of the "close up shot" function of the camera, so please estimate it to be a bit darker..
kim and kathy are so generous! i ordered a baby buki and some sample lumi lips, and two of the lumi lips are upgraded to full size wand-tubes free!
was worried when i see the tube pretty dark, but the color turn out pretty to my liking x)
but... is it me or what... the texture of the lumi lip this round feels different from the samples i got last round =/ not that it's bad, cos i definitely prefer this version, more comfy =)
it feels more "diluted", more melted butter consistency, and less pigmented.. as can see on the swatch above, the vineyard and autumn sunset is more watery than the other 3 that i got in the last order. anyone met this too?
but actually.. in the last thicker version, the color is a little sheer too, so the english rose (right bottom) is not as dramatic when you wear it, compared to the tissue paper swatch ^-^
probably this "melted butter" version is better and won't flak? *hopes!*
*can someone tell me what happen? there's a heavy smoke smell for 2 or 3 days already.. [cough cough]*
below are the mineral eyeshadow & blush samples i have at the moment, more from theshespace on the way~!
somehow, i prefer heather's eyeshadows pigments.. cos it felt more pigmented, and easier to foil and blend. lumiere's tend to "ball up" a little when foiled? well i think it most likely is user-problem on my part, considering my noob-ness =P but still, heather's feels easier to use =x
from left: a cheapo retractable blush brush i bought yesterday, not dense leh =/ was a bit consoled that it's not scratchy like it looks =x but when i run my fingers through the baby buki today, omg, the blush brush feels like cactus XD ok la, for the price hahaha! its juz $3.90sgd.
baby buki~!! its soOOoo cuTE~!! and its so dense and velvety! so love it =D
the basic functions only samsung phone i gotten from 7-11 convenience stall at $98, on impulse hahaha! i like the handy size of the phone, fits snugly into my palm x)
oh btw, the phone is juz to illustrate how tiny the baby buki actually is. previously when i saw other pictures in vox, the baby buki is standing next to a original kabuki. since i haven met both, i....cant relate LOL.
now and then, i will be excitedly checking my mailbox every nite for yellow bubble envelopes, and my cat will be laughing behind me. and my dear cat has this hobby to open up my yellow bubble envelopes, while i fumble to shut back the letterbox =_=
its funny to see him exclaiming each time LOL! but i still a bit hate him for opening it before i do, and i don't get to stare at the items immediately! he did that to my harry potter wrapper too >=)
anyways, today when we opened the letterbox, i exclaimed:
how come my brush is so flat? (the bubble envelope looked really flat!)
when my cat tear open the envelope carefully, he exclaimed:
where got brush?
LOL! i guess that's 'nuff said about the size of the baby buki haha!
and to convince geminisc that i m not skin perfect, here's a pic of me nude =P
hmm think the flash still burnt away some of the marks, but the left over are a lot ain't they? ='(
oh wells. nitey folks~
had a really bad day at work, but really cheered up during the supper with my big cat, eating fried pig intestine and stir fried oat prawns along beach road, and receiving the yellow bag of joy with the really cute baby buki and kim and kathy's lovely generous gift!
i wanna buy a full size foundation soon, any recommendations? i see dayna's and geminisc's foundation coverage and dewy glow looks really lovely! but i'm loving lumiere cashmere at the moment, and itching to try SN for its flexibility =D
ok voting time sweeties,
looking forward to do a fotd for Jenna's challenge =D
just realize that mac cant work well with vox too =/ tried safari and mozilla for mac today, still cant view or post reply or comments =_=
haiz, stress buying is not doing good LOL. was trying to do some shopping therapy on the she space webbie, filled up the ghost cart, then eliminate colors that are too similar or i most likely won't get to use. before i'm done, my dear cat reached studio to fetch me =_=
hastily checkout, during the car ride then realize that i didnt really take a close look at what i chose =X
hmmm ok la.. the colors are pretty safe colors that i can play with, shouldnt be too much wastage =P but was hoping that i can get all the colors i like at one go to save time and postage. good thing that heather's postage is not expensive heehee.
i ordered:
(in descending order)
- e/s can't hide karma
- e/s moonlight whimsy
- lip junk - no morals
- e/s pearls of wisdom
- e/s touched by truth
- e/s twisted psychic
- e/s typical mania
- e/s february limited edition smokin grapes and raisins - sweet serenade (1st top left)
the twisted psychic looks really intense in this picture, hope it looks like periwinkle when applied =) periwinkle blue is one of my fave flower color in primary sch ^-^
on another note, i m impressed with lumiere again. despite the bad weather condition, they shipped out my item pretty soon. was thinking i will hafta wait for at least a total of 14 days before receiving the items. but received a shipment notice about 3-4 days after ordering, so tmr is the 4th or 5th day after the shipment notice, hope to see the yellow baggy in my mailbox tmr!
hmm i tink i look odd without eyeliner =P
everything was done in less than 7minutes? didnt add enough color to the eye, didnt justify the vibrant color of the she space - dance with devil x)
ideally, i would prefer to use pinch of magic, dance with devil and a black eye liner to create a "slightly smokey" look (hmm this isnt really smokey rite? =P) like this one done with anna sui products, at Cleo magazine's make over road show in 2006 =)
anyways, products used in fotd are:
Face:
- olay whitening cream
- lumiere medium beige cashmere
- lumiere sand silk
- mac studio fix concealer nc30
Cheek:
- the she space: beyond wind
Eye:
- mac paint pot - soft ochre
- the she space - pinch of magic (lid)
- the she space - dance with devil (outer V)
Lips:
- lumi lips - english rose
seldom motivated to use mascara these days, cos its such a pain in the A to remove it =(
my make up remover is currently ZA make up remover oil. mascaras are fasio and maybelline unstoppable.
any suggestion to make the process less painful?
have just bought a shu uemura eyelash curler (finally!) after trying on jac jac's. its magical! jieying loves the anna sui eyelash curler that we bought together, but it doesnt really curl well for me =/
for the shu uemura, the curling power is really good, but the shape of the arch seems a bit bigger and uncomfortable? dunno, should be user problem =P should be able to get the hang of it soon.
cleo has listed the eyelash curler as one of shu uemura's best creations, in the page dedicated to the great man's departure.
