I have been using the Naked Palette pretty much constantly since I got it, and well it's not really a "challenge" to use it because it's so versatile to put into different kinds of everyday look.
Here's what I really like to do with the palette - perfect for work and everyday..
Apply Bare on to the whole lid area, add Virgin for highlight. My fave bit is lining the eyes with Whiskey with a gentle flick and then slightly smudging and setting it with Darkhorse
Also grabbing excess powder of Darkhorse and slightly line the outer lower corner of the eyes. I would recommend using a dark brown liner for soft, defined eyes - perfect for everyday and work!
2010 has been a nice year for me in terms of beauty - I found myself cutting down on spending, especially on makeup and I found success in using inexpensive Japanese skin care products (nearly finished with all the products!). It's worked well with my skin!
Here are my 2011 beauty resolutions!!
1. drink more fluid... this is weird but I hate drinking at work because I hate running to the loo in the last minute and it's really discomforting if I really need to "go" but can't because I gotta teach.. but I should drink more regardless.
2. Sleep at decent hours. Right now I'm sleeping 2am - 3am... which isn't good! I keep waking up my husband when I creep into bed.. and I also noticed my skin goes wack if lack sleep!
3. invest in a good eye cream... I am going be 26 soon!!! Preventing is the key - although I am happy with Vitacreme B12 as an anti-aging cream on the whole. i want to find an eye cream that doesn't give me white milia around my eye area
4. Stop squeezing ANY blemishes!! My hands were out of control the other night and now my skin is paying for it. it will take a least a month for it to look normal - luckily just one (particular large one - thank god for concealer)
5. Moisturise my body religiously! As mentioned in a tag before.. I am so lazy with moisturising!! I have to get into the habit of moisturising everyday. The dryness is taking the toll on my hands now, so chapped in some areas! :(
What are your beauty resolutions?!
Thought I'd share with you guys with some funny, silly pics taken randomly when we went shopping :P
Try and read the small print - "a gesture of kindness"?!
Try some Irony mints..!
saving the best until last! Gotta love Engrish :)
Hope everyone is having a good week so far!!!
46 let me know what you think:
oOo cute bunny mitt i want it!
hahaha..funny engrish!XD Irony mints? a name that does not have any relation to mints at all..maybe..it doesn't taste like mints~so that's why its ironic??XD haaa...very confusing..=P
I hope you managed to do your resolutions, Nic Nic..! <3
ahh animal sex~ aahah
i think i'm going to post my new years resolutions soon...your post reminded me I oughta do one ^_^
Great resolutions! I don't make New Year's resolutions cause I always end up not doing it so I decided why bother. Love your EOTD look!
*Kat*
haha animal sex XD Great one :p
Also I agree with your beauty resolutions, the only one I'm doing regulary is nr 5 ~.~
the other 4 are also on my list xD
Beauty Resolutions? hmmmm
Care less, buy less, sleep more and enjoy what I have?
Engrish is great. As I scrolled down, I was like, "oh a cute bunny" and then "...animal sex?!?" ahahaha! I haven't made up resolutions yet, but I def need to stop picking at my skin... that's my worst habit.
Good resolutions! I need a good eye cream too!
hehe... last picture really tickled me :)
anyways, u're a year end baby? I turned 26 last month and it hit me that I am growing older and need to pamper my skin alot more :)
Is that a coin purse? It's soooooooo cute! :3
I'm going to that eye makeup look. I think it's very wearable.
:)
Love the eye makeup! You sure are coming up with great looks using the naked palette!
Animal Sex..Oh dear!! hehe The bunny looks so cute an innocent too!
One of my new years resolutions would be to spend less on makeup!
Pretty eye make up! I wanna get the naked palette but it's outta stock everywhere. =( I need new beauty resolutions for 2011 too!
xx
Pretty eyes!
I guess I should do my beauty resolutions as well... Thanks for sharing these!
By the way, where will you be around Chinese New Year?
"Animal Sex" - gotta love japlish on cutesy things.
I like the way you do your eyeliner!!
Those are good resolutions...I should take your lead on those. Sleeping and drinking more water are things I tend to forget too....
I have NO beauty resolutions, other than to try to cut down on time applying makeup, and learn how to apply false lashes better.
These are good ones, though! Water. Sleep. I do too little of both.
Maybe I should copy you.
XX.
Mae Lu, @ thereafterish.
Pretty EOTD :)
I'm with you on all of your beauty resolutions :D
..and you still don't look a day over 22! =D I know what you mean about moisturising.
x
I love the eye shadow you're wearing! I really want that Naked Palette but it's sold out everywhere! You're so lucky you have it ; )
Hiya,
me again! Thanks for the comment on my BB cream post. It's great to let readers know how different people find the cream! I'm browsing apopofkawaii and wanted to get a BB cream from it. I'm looking for one with sheer coverage and is kind to skin. Would be really grateful if you could recommend me which one to get. Thanks! xx
such a nice neutral yet simple look! i still have yet to get my hands on the naked palette but i will have to pick it up sometime soon in 2011~
Pretty EOTD!
Yay, I'm editing a post about beauty resolutions too. Good luck to both of us on keeping them! We have mostly the same goals. I want to drink more water and green tea plus get more sleep. ^^
such a cute bunny!
Aww I think that I need to stop poking and squeezing my spots/blemishes. It's such a habit now.
thats a really pretty nude eye look! its making me want to get the palette too!! i love nude eyes..!! and yea... i need to stop squeezing my pimples too haha but its always so tempting!
Haha…gotta love that plush! XD I'm pretty bad with moisturizing too. I'm good when it comes to my hands and of course face but the rest of my body usually only gets moisturized when it gets dry and itchy. =\
P.S You look great =D
aww love your makeup =D
hahaha so funny the last picture! animal sex xD not sure to give to kids
The last one is super funny. Definitely not an ideal gift for kids. Haha! You look pretty as usual. :P
Wow I never thought of resolution for makeup... hehe~ That's a good idea! :)
those sound like good beauty resolutions! I need to drink more water as well - it's just so hard to remember when it's cold all the time now. I'm searching for a nice eye cream that doesn't cause milia as well...if I find a good one I'll share the info with you :)
I have got to get my hands on the Urban Decay Palette! It's sold out everywhere =[
I love the soft look! Very natural everyday haha!
I should do a beauty resolution too. mine will include your #4. I have a habit of picking and poking my pimples =[ lol
Love those funny bits at the end. Animal sex hahaha
Loving the eyes, its gorgeous!
Damn, I better start making my new year's resolution too! I totally need to invest on an eye cream too and... I do not want to believe that you are 26! You're lying :D
And OMG IRONY MINTS!!!! I always find them so lady like, and perfect for pulling them out to show your friends in an elegant afternoon tea :D
the #4 and 5 are like i'm talking to myself. i should hit my hands for touching my zits and my body is dry like crazy so i might need a body cream this xmas. i love your soft defined eyes look. it makes you look so innocent.
it is such a pretty and soft look :)
i agree with K, u have such beautiful eyes nic! :) im glad you're using your naked palette consistently, im sure u get a lot of nice EOTD's from it. :)
wow, i didnt know you were lazy in moisturizing! hehe. go slather some lotion on your skin babe! you'll be glad to feel the soft results later ;)
oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)
Seems you love the UD Naked Palette a lot, have been using quite often. I'm thinking to get one too...:D
