Cheeky Make up haul and First Impression Review

=D 
I get overly excited about cosmetics...a bit too excited...
like my mom always say: you have too much make up! 
but i happen to have a very soft spot for make up...
long story short...
going to review about the latest brow product from benefit - gimme brow
close friends will know that i have an unhealthy obsession with eyebrows...
unless i'm wearing glasses...if not,i must draw my brows! i don't mind going out bare face which i always do...but i must have my brows filled! because without my brows...i have no face LOL 

 the packaging itself....the usual benefit retro design
 got mine in medium/dark 
 the product itself 
 the wand is teeni-tiny which is supposed to give more mobility 

my eye brow using gimme brow paired with my shu uemura eyebrow pencil..
verdict: it's a perfect product if you have thick eyebrows but with certain sparse area...
but if you have eyebrows like me which has an apologetically amount of hair == then you would need to pair it up with a brow pencil/shadow to achieve the bold eyebrow look...i could pull it off by just using it on my right brow but for my left brow which has even lesser hair, the gel itself is not enough to create the boldness that i want to achieve... 
this product softens the harshness of my brows given by the brow pencil and gives my brows a more voluminous look by thickening my natural brows....
well, i would say that it's a good product but just not perfect for people with brows like me...
for people with naturally thick brows...good for you! 

next on the list~ 
NARS and Tarte has finally made their way to Malaysia~! 
I have been using NARS's products since being exposed to it when I was in the UK and I was stoked when I can finally get it here! =D 

I got only one thing from NARS because I already have a few of their products...
 got a blush in the shade Gilda... a peachy, orangey blush which I don't have in my collection =) 
 swatch of the blush 

first impression: the shade is just too cute to pass up and i just like the orange tint it gives my complexion... best of all, it's not glittery like orgasm which makes it much wearable..=D 

now.. last but not least~ Tarte~! 
tarte just launched in Sephora this week and I have been wanting to try their products for the longest of time as I've heard so much good things about their things...
didn't get their cult amazonian clay blushes though as I've gotten just a new blush so that will have to wait...
 got their limited edition set =D the packaging is sooo pretty! 
 eye shadow quad =) 
 finishing powder
 lash primer
 mascara
 eyeliner pencil 
 lip chubby stick with sharpener 
swatches: 
 the eyeliner pencil is soooo smooth! glides on like a breeze...not sure about the staying power yet...will have to examine longer 

 swatches of the eyeshadow quad...
the colour payoff if ok...not as good as urban decay but still decent..will have to try it on more to judge 
 the wand of the mascara..haven't tried yet...will see =) 
 the lipstick in the shade smitten
 the colour is sooo pretty.... the main reason why i've gotten this set 
a not so clear picture of me wearing smitten(lipstick),  gilda(blush) and gimme brow (eyebrow) 

I'll end my review here =)

Life In General

I'm finally back from a long hiatus from blogging! 
I just didn't feel like blogging or just generally didn't feel like doing anything...
coursework is a never ending black hole and it's piling up like nobody's business!!  
with the semester coming to an end...exams coming...datelines are coming...
OMG...i have so much to do!! 
Final year is so not fun...why did I let myself take MEng? LOL 
well...at least I've just handed in a taunting coursework today...
and to celebrate...we've watched Thor II!  
To be honest, I didn't even really watch the first movie..=P 
but no worries...you don't have to watch the first one to understand the second one when you have a bro that gives spoilers of every single movie he watches...LOL 
But it was a good movie undoubtedly...
super hero movies with a slight wittiness in them is just really appealing...credits to Loki a.k.a Tom Hiddleston...
I've finally realized why so many of my friends love him...
he has this really special vibe or aura that makes him irresistible...and chris hemsworth is just chris hemsworth lor...LOL
and Kat Dannings is just hilarious as usual...2 broke girls rocks!  haha
most of all..plot twist at the end! OMG...i was so not expecting that...
the next movie that i really want to watch is the hunger games: catching fire ! 
read all the books almost 2 years ago...the second movie is finally here! can't wait! 

just a short update and some rambling here....i might also be doing a review on a new cheeky cosmetic purchase...maybe...will see =D
