A minimalistic look

This look I wanted it to be minimal, sophisticated and easy to recreate. I actually wore this look to attend a wedding in a church. 

First of all, I applied foundation primer radiance from Laura Mercier all over my face to secure that all the makeup will be stay all day. Then I used cream bronzer, Soleil Tan De Chanel to contour my face. I skipped foundation and went straight to powder my face using Laura Mercier foundation powder. 


For the eyes, I applied a little bit of Too Faced eye primer all over my eyelid preventing eyeshadow creasing or smudging at the end of the day. I shaded my eyelid around the eye socket using a brown eyeshadow called 'Buck' from Naked palette 1 and applied a nude-pink color 'Sin' from Naked 1 only at the center of the eyelid to brighten up the eyes. 

To shape my eyebrow, I used a MAC eyeshadow "Espresso" and put Maybelline brow mascara in Dark Brown on the top. 

To finish the look, I applied Giorgio Armani sheer blush in colour 02 on my cheek and put a combination of Tom Ford lip color in No 7 Pink Dusk and NYX butter gloss in tiramisu on my lips.

THREE make up

I got a chance to visit my country, Thailand this summer and I found a wonderful luxurious brand-new Japanese make-up line called 'THREE'. The brand comes with three concepts; Natural, Honest and creative.

Personally, I think the most stand out product is 'eyeliner pencil'. It's very soft, pigmented and it give you precise color. I picked purple color (no. 4, ~US 40) which is perfectly matched with brown eyes.

The second product, I purchased, was makeup remover (~US 55). It smells like it is all made from natural ingredients and it effectively removes all of your makeup. The package is brilliant as it comes with a small locker protecting a leak of the product especially under the low pressure on an airplane.

Last but not least, facial foam. It wasn't my intention at all to buy this product but I changed my mind after touching the foam. It is quite expensive (~ US 60) but actually it could be used up to 3 months as just a little of product can be used for an entire face. I feel like this foam can remove all the remaining makeup and impurities from my face without leaving your face completely dehydrated.

Facial foam
I think 'THREE' satisfies its aspects of 'new attitude for being natural'  ^^

NARS One Night Stand Blush Palette for Holiday 2013


NARS blush is one of the most incredible blushes in the market. Their brushes are pigmented and they have so many shades. The new release limited edition blush palette for holiday 2013 just has been launched in this autumn/winter and it would probably be sold out soon !!!.



The palette contains 4 blushes, 1 bronzer and 1 highlight;
- Orgasm
- Deep Throat
- Goulou
- Mistinguette
- Laguna (bronzer)
- Devotee (highlighter)




The first 2 blushes are permanent and best-selling colors whereas the 2 latter are limited edition only in this palette. Importantly, the palette also includes best-selling ever bronzer, Laguna. The only highlighter in this palette is Devotee. Personally, this is a very good offer for 6 blushes inclusively in one palette with the price at $65 USD (NARS single blush normally costs $29 USD). This is appropriately as a travel palette with a very big mirror. 





Blush: Goulou, Bronzer: Laguna, Highlighter: Devotee

Tom Ford Lip Color - Pink Dusk






Personally, the lipstick in Pink Dusk is by far the most gorgeous lip color from Tom Ford. It had been constantly sold out in many counters in London and New York. Yes, it is very expensive but it is worth to purchase (£ 36).
It comes with a luxurious packaging. The texture is so smooth and moisturized. Moreover, It's so perfect for those of you who have dry sensitive lip. The lipstick gives your lip a sleek pink-nude (not too much nude and also not very bright pink). It can be combined with an intense smoke eyes or with everyday look.

Burberry Eye Palette no. 5 Dark Spice





After reviewing a lot on lipsticks, here it's time to move on to eye shadow. This is the Complete Eye Palette - Dark Spice no.5 from Burberry Beauty (£40 for a palette). I love the package and the palette itself which is kind of gun metal. The palette comes with a small bag with 3 eye shadow applicators which I think it's not much useful because they are too small and not much practical to use. So I prefer to apply them with my own eye shadow brushes. The customized quartet palette contains densely pigmented eye colors; luminising base highlighter, red brown and dark brown to add shape, and black color for intense liner and making smoky eyes. 
The formula of the eye colors is satin smooth silicones and quite creamy when apply on eye lid. The eye shadows are coordinated very well and enrich the skin and remain vibrant all day. 
I had paired the eye colors with red, deep pink, and pink nude lip colors and they best match with the pink nude lips. The colors are wearable for both day and night looks. In order to create a night look, I just added more dark colors to make the smoky look. One of my all time makeup gurus on youtube, Momay Pa Plean, said that this eye palette is a very good choice for a sophisticated look in which I do agree ^^

Tom Ford True Coral Lip Color (no. 9)


If you like red lipstick but not too much of intense red. This is the solution, Tom Ford lip color in True Coral (no. 9). The color comes with red/orange. It shows up on the lips as pinkish-bright red mixed with slightly orange. The formula is very smooth and it helps to moisturize the lips and makes the dewy lip look. So if you prefer matt red lip, you should not go for this. I think it pairs very well with sunglasses giving a effortlessly sexy look. It is also wearable on the lazy day that I would like wearing eyeglasses and wearing no makeup.

Excellent fashion show from BURBERRY A/W 2013


Love the show, love the songs, love the clothes and really impressed with make-up. Those were my expression once I'd seen this flawless fashion show from "Burberry Prosum" autumn winter 2013 from London fashion week. The show started with an acoustic version of 'Happy together' by Misty Miller, followed with 'Picking up the pieces' acoustic session by Paloma Faith and ended up by Tom Odell's 'Hold me'. Especially, the last song, it was a live performance with piano and excellent defined chorus and, furthermore, it was perfectly selected as finale. 

The make-up is really gorgeous. The overall look is a combination of natural eyes, illuminating face and nude beige lip. Those complement the models almost like they are wearing make-up no make-up, meanwhile the models look so effortlessly beautiful. The looks from this show are very practical and highly recommend for the coming autumn. Let's check it out by the link down below.

About the clothes, I'm impressed by various pencil skirts especially the translucent rubber skirt. Moreover, the 'Heart print silk shirt dress' and the 'Translucent rubber dress' in oxblood color (kind of dark shade of red) are exceptionally beautiful !!!.
