Official Judgy Face FOTD

I'm not original enough to come up with my own colour combinations so I copied D's EOTD. Hee! She is probably giving me judgy face right now xD.
We're trying to get Jian to do the same EOTD so it can become the official judgy face EOTD. Y'all probably have no clue what I'm babbling on about so I'm just going to shut up now.

 Products used: L'Oreal Color Infallible in Sahara Treasure, Bronze Goddess and Burning Black; Maybelline Blush in Pressworthy Pink; Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Plum; Nars Laguna; Armani Luminous Silk foundation; Revlon Colorstay Creme Gel Liner in black; and CoverGirl Lash Blast Fusion mascara

 Lid = Sahara Treasure; Outer V = Bronze Goddess; Crease = Burning Black

I also had my hair cut again! What do you guys think? It's "funkier" now, or so I lamely tell myself xD

Also I got mail =^.^=

Sasa mask haul of epic proportions plus more love from my UK smuggler V! My order arrived so fast this time that it has restored my faith, albeit temporarily, in Sasa. I made my order on March 8 and it arrived on March 14! Perhaps it's cos I paid via Paypal this time.
Trying out some new brands of masks as MBDs have been getting pricier -_____-". The BeautyMate Anti-Acne masks (green and white box in the back) are friggen awesome!! It really does lessen the redness and swelling of acne overnight! This is my second box already!

Latest aquisitions and the spouse thing

After my nail polish collection post, a lot of you expressed interest in seeing my makeup collection.
Alas, that cannot be, as I do not wish to be confronted with my addiction, it's like asking Lindsay Lohan to do a documentary on cocaine.
I can, however, show you pictures of my latest acquisitions.
Just a mixture of gifts, things bought by me, things I shamelessly begged my friends to help me buy and uh...things the boy does not know he bought xD mwahaahahahaa!

I won an E(vil)Bay auction for a bunch of Aube products. Price was good at $20 for the lot but shipping cost me a ridonkulous $9 -__-"

Swatches in order of display

The lipsticks are simply amazing! they're very pigmented, what you're seeing is 1 swipe, and the formula is extremely moisturising. The lippies have since gone on to live a better life with my mum lol. Try looking for these in ebay lot sales, they'll often come 2 or 3 together at a really good price. Retail price is something ridonk like $20ish each. I was unimpressed with their shadow and liner duo (the first two swatches on the left) it was impossible to get to the eyeshadow powder, the included applicator is absolutely useless, but even if you get the powder out, good luck trying to get it to stay on your eyelid.

The Anna Sui loose powder and the Christian Dior quint were sneaky bday gifts from Sheila, the Canmake and L'Oreal glosses were part of an unexpected gift from Kay (Thanks so much Kay!!!) and the two MAC Venomous Villains lip products were the results weakness.

The Anna Sui powder is heavily rose scented, like my ouma's bloomers drawer, but it gives your skin a very flawless, almost airbrushed effect without caking. The powder is shimmery, so don't be too heavy handed with this unless you want to look like Eddy Cullen. I got the purple one which I think helps with redness.
I love Canmake Nudy Glow glosses, I'm so happy that Kay got me the newest colour in Peach Milk xD

Kate palette, Lunasol Nature Summer Blue palette, Jill Stuart mixed blush in Candy Orange and Rose Fairy, Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster pen, Sonia Kashuk Circle Around A Cause brush set.

Apart from the brush set, all products were courtesy of a CP by the lovely Sheila. The two JS blushes have become my go to blushes. Rose Fairy varies from a light pink to a dark rose and Candy Orange varies from a light pink to a dark coral. Depending on how you swirl you swirl your brush around, you can get a a range of different colours. Although cute, the brush that comes with these blushes is kak. I believe both blushes are from the 2010 Spring collection. The Sonia Kashuk brushes were acquired with the help of Dao. It's for charity and it's pink, 'nuff said.

This is my favourite brand of shampoo & conditioner. 

I've been using Lux Color Shine for black hair for the past 6 months and I'm in love. I'd given up with Western brand hair care, it all seems to weigh my hair down and make it waxy and greasy, and Tsubaki, although easily available, is quite pricey.

Lux Color Shine gives me soft, shiny hair that isn't weighed down and smells gooood! This is also the first shampoo & conditioner system where I can get away with only washing every other day (although I'm quite OCD about washing my hair and as long as there's running water, I'll wash it every day!). I got this boxed set which consists of 200ml shampoo, 200 conditioner and 50ml rinse-free treatment for $7.99 plus tax from T&T Superstores. I believe this is available at most big Asian supermarkets.

Lastly, a HUGE thank you to those of you who have congratulated on me being spoused! I purposefully left that statement rather cryptic because in reality we are not yet married xD
The reason why I said I became someone's spouse instead of saying that I got married is because I recently received this:

That's my extended healthcare card, I'm covered under the boy's company's medical plan. Apparently I am now a "spouse" lol.
Lastly, my NOTD:

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mystic Lilac. A dusty lilac with green shimmers. In shade it looks almost like a taupe, but it's definitely lilac. Formula applies very sheer and is only opaque in 4 coats. Wear is fantastic, this photo was taken 3 days after application.

My NARS makeover

Remember my "they put BROWN eyeshadow all the way up to my Mcdonalds eyebrows!" makeover disaster from MAC earlier this year? I swore off getting makeovers after that. So I have absolutely no idea how I got roped into getting a makeover from NARS - (in actuality, I was busy enabling a friend of mine to buy NARS blushes, the MUA kindly told us about the makeover event that was going to take place on 24+25 July. Since my friend has never had a makeover before, I grudgingly put our names down).
So it was with much trepidation that I arrived at my appointment...
I was completely blown away with the results.
My MUA was Ty, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat! She is extremely knowledgeable, she is experienced with working on Asian faces, and she constantly asks for your opinion of her work - she makes you feel so at ease and she truly wants you to be happy with the results.
She managed to balance my one brow that constantly looks surprised, and NO MCDONALDS EYESBROWS OR BROWN EYESHADOW!
She's also hilariously funny, her and Jay from MUFE had me constantly in giggles the entire time I was there. Oh and in case you're wondering, it's Jay of this gorgeous piece of work I photographed at the IMATS.

Ze results:

What's on my face:
Foundation: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab mixed with Orgasm Illuminator and a bit of their Hydrating Moisture Cream.
Cheeks: Gina blush, Albatross highlight, Laguna bronzer.
Eyes: Strada, Night Fairy, Goldfinger, and Alhambra eyeshadow, Mekong as upper lash liner, China blue as lower lash liner.
Lips: Sexual Healing lipstick with Orgasm lipgloss.

Needless to say, I pretty much bought everything she used on me xD I particularly loved their foundation, I will definitely get a bottle once I'm done with my current one.
Thank you very much Ty! I had an absolute blast with you!
If any of you are interested in booking an appointment with Ty for a makeover, head down to the the NARS counter at The Bay downtown, or call 604-681-6211. Tell her Macnunu.com sent you xD

Peek of things to come xD

Canada Day celebrations and other things - very very very pic heavy!

July 1st is Canada Day so the boy and I went downtown to join in the festivities.

OMG!!! I finally found myself a mountie!!! I dedicate this photo to Etherealprey xD

Look at the sea of people inside Canada Place!

Canada Place Soccer Expo - there was a disabled soccer match going on, first time I've ever seen anything like it! Big respect to these guys! I moan and grown and refuse to go to the gym when I've got muscle aches, just look at these guys! p.s. spy my country's flag in the background xD

A stage performance with girls hanging from the ceiling on ribbons.

The Army Expo. We joked that if Canada had to be under attack at that very moment, we'd be unable to respond because the entire Canadian artillery was probably there xD

A jazz performance outside Canada Place.

We reckon there was more people on the street that day than the amount of people that was there for Olympics.

If you go to the windows, you can see Vancouver's north shore.

They opened up the area around the Olympic cauldron!

They even lit up the cauldron for the day! I wonder who coughed up the $10K.

This is the closest I've ever been to the cauldron xD

Haha! Olympic Men's Hockey Gold game was being show on the big screen.

A hat from a street vendor but the boy said I look funny >__>

Street performances.

My FOTD

In case you're curious, I used Shiseido Maquillage Clean Contrast Eyes in VI213, MAC Beauty Powder in Pearl and MAC Creme D' Nude lippie.

Also had on falsies! I used the invisible method I posted about here

Thought I'd let you guys see what I wear to work xD my first fashion post! Sorry I am really hopeless in fashion.

Another work OOTD

Foodables!!!! Seafood pot with Basa, Enoki, Shrimp, Mussles, mushrooms; veggies and Vermicelli. So yummy and so easy to make! just throw everything into a pot! Yes we love Coriander haha!

Dinner at Chez Nunu xD

My version of a Tom Yum Goon - Salmon, Tiger Prawns, Enoki mushrooms, finish off with a handful of coriander.

London Drugs, a local pharmacy, was clearing out their stock of Annabelle cosmetics. I picked up a bunch of Smudgeliners and Smoothliners for a blogger buddy and myself. The formula is a good dupe of UD's 24/7 pencils in terms of staying power! but at a fraction of the price.

Swatches - sorry I don't remember which was which any more as I did these in the shop.

A recent Cosme-de haul - will review the O'slee Clear Spa Sleeping Mask soon!

Last but definitely not least, a surprise gift from a very special "Denmarkian" xD. When we last met, I complained about how Canada doesn't sell Labello (yes I know Nivea bought them out but I feel the North American formula is different) and she totally hooked me up!! She also sent me Gosh lippies xD. The bf has nommed the choccies already, he says they're his "SO tax"! Thank you sooo much Chyi!!! I love it!!!
