VLUX Palette in Vintage

I love eyeshadows!! :) I think I have more eyeshadows than lipgloss or lipstick or eyeliners. I love playing with colors. I love neutral palettes because you can use it everyday and it doesn't look too much.

I have the chance to try VLUX Cosmetics http://www.vluxcosmetics.com/ by Vivian. She contacted me herself and asked if I want to try her products. I browsed at the website, I don't see anywhere where I can check out the products to buy so I'm assuming you have to contact them at: contact@vluxcosmetics.com to place any orders.

The individual eyeshadow doesn't have a name so I just numbered them from 1-5.

I got the palette in Vintage

These are the Ingredients

Here are the swatches:

 

Lightly swatched (one swipe)

PROS: This palette has such gorgeous colors! I love how pigmented they are! Yup, amazingly pigmented like my MAC shadows! I also love how sleek the packaging is. The palette is nice to carry around and the mirror also is a plus when applying make up.

CONS: It's a bit expensive. It's priced $36, but it's still reasonable since it's a lot cheaper than MAC eyeshadows which for me has the same pigmentation. The last eyeshadow (#5) has fall outs.

OVERALL: They have nice selection of palettes in their website, and as a palette lover, I would totally recommend this :) Just remember to put some tape on the bottom of eyes to catch the fall outs.

My Rating:

Refer to this picture for the look I'm going to create.

● I used eyeshadow #1 all over my lid, crease, and brow bone for highlight. ●

● Then I used eyeshadow #4 all over my crease using a blending brush ●

● Then I applied eyeshadow #3 all over my lid using MAC 239 brush ●

● Then I applied eyeshadow #2 on the center of the lid ●

● Then I applied eyeshadow #5 to the V shaped part of my eyes  *clean fall outs* ●

● Apply eyeliner. I used MAC Black Track ●

● Then I applied falsies. ●

My Face Routine and Smokey Eyes

So I did a little tutorial on Youtube. Its been ages since I did a tutorial there.. Haha. I don't do much videos. Only when I feel like it. Lol. I have like 2000+ subscribers and i love them all. I do answer almost all of the comments I get. I think Blogger world is more friendly than the YT world. I love Blogger world more.. heehee!

So I did my FACE ROUTINE which is very simple. The products I use regularly are the following:

• Make Up Forever HD Primer in Blue [i will review this more later on]
• L'egere Multi White BB Cream [click to see my review about it]
• Make Up Forever Lift Concealer [click to see my review about it]
• Dame Edna Powder

My face looked white after I put all the products. This is because  I have sallow skin tone [yellowish skin tone]. But if you look more closely, my face and neck matched better after I put the BB Cream. It does oxidize and later on, it will look darker than my neck. lol.

The other two videos are just a tutorial of a Simple Smokey Eyes Look. The lighting totally suck, or maybe the settings on my MACbook. lol. You can't even see the color. Haha! Here's the things I used:

• UDPP as a primer
• MAC Nylon e/s all over the lid
• MAC Fertile e/s on the crease
• MAC Amber Lights e/s as a highlight
• Blacktrack Fluidline
• Loreal Mascara
• Darkness Lashes - Duo Lash Adhesive
• Vanilla Pressed Pigment to add shimmer
• Sunbasque Blush
• Money Honey Dazzleglass

Anyway, I ordered some jewelries from Steph -

Purple Look + Hauls

Note: It's actually 12:47PM now.. I wasn't able to publish this last night because blogger went on maintenance at around 02:30AM. :(

Hello Hello!! :) Its 2:13AM.. Yup, one of those days that I can't sleep.. I blame it on the Iced Cold White Chocolate Mocha that I chugged a while ago. :) I went to Orange County with Adrian to visit my brother in law and his wife, and guess what? I did an FOTD! Yay! :D Its been awhile since I did my last FOTD/EOTD so enjoy.. ahaha!

FOTD/EOTD

FACE:

MUFE HD Primer

Benefit "You Rebel" Lite

Dame Edna "What A Dame!" Beauty Powder

EYES:

Glamour Check e/s all over the crease

Lotusland e/s on the lid

Vanilla pigment as highlight

Backtrack liner

IPUM lashes

LIPS:

Moonflower l/s

MORE HAULS!

I did more damage at Orange County.. Well, not really because I didn't spend that much. I used my giftcard to buy some of these things :) So, that made me really happy! :D

This headband is really unique. The husband said I looked like a peacock/chicken. ahaha! But I think its really pretty and I got some compliments a while ago while wearing this. :)

Then the husband let me get another one of this because its just too great! Really nice for summer. I am not a fan of any MAC Powders (except for my HK Kouture Powder) but there's something in this powder that makes my skin smooth and soft.

I finally got this eyeshadow!! Yay!! This is "All That Glitters". I've been lemming it since I can remember :) So I'm glad they have this at the CCO!! You won't believe how many eyeshadows they have at Ontario! They have Electric Eel, Nocturnelle, Pink Venus, Sable, Soft Brown, Humid, Freshwater and so much more!

This eyeshadow called "Henna" is going back to the CCO! Why? Take a look at the second picture below this! OMG Totally the same as my "Mink and Sable" and "Sumptuous Olive" Ugh! Makes me so mad for buying this! I'll just exchange it for something else!

Then I went to MACYS to return the Clinique Eye Make Up Remover that I got a month ago. Its just not working. It won't even remove my eyeliner completely, leaving me with racoon eyes in the morning. I thought they discontinued the Cleansing Balm but she told me they have a few more left so I was happy I was able to get this and just paid $11 because of the returned product.

This is the review I made  Click the link ---> "Clinique Cleansing Balm" I know its lame because there's no pictures. I  mean what's a review without pictures? So I will redo it and this time with pictures of before and after :D So Stay tuned for that!

SEPHORA

Then I went to Sephora because I remember I still have $$$ left from the giftcard they gave me. My overall purchase was $60+ but I ended up paying only $12+.. How cool! hahaha! I love giftcards..

I got the Korres Yogurt Mask and I have it on today! I will do a review soon :) I'm so happy to finally get this! This is my 2nd Korres product. I'm so stoked! Haha!

I tried this MUFE Lifting Concealer at Sephora and fell in love with it. I must have it. Its priced for $22. Too much in my book. Good thing I have the giftcard or else I wouldn't get it. Haha.. I'll do a review soon. Hopefully it won't break me out!

..and this is a deluxe sample. I want to try Laura Mercier products.. but foundie is the last thing I wanna try since I do not use foundie no more... oh well! :p

EYESHADOWS!

I was trying to rearrange all the colors in my palette.. look how many looked alike! Haha..

Highlights and Golds..

Greens and Blues
Pinks and Purples

Blacks and Browns/Neutrals

I'm so happy about my entire eyeshadow collection. I don't have plans on becoming a make up artist but its just makes me happy when I get one new eyeshadow.. ahahah.

I'll see you guys next post :) Hope you guys a happy week! :) 

Hello Kitty Overdose and Some

***PICTURE HEAVY***

Hi ladies! Haven't update for few days. I was too tired from work and school. I had to study for 2 quizzes and thank God I got an "A" on both quizzes. So far so good. :)

I went to Macys the other day to get more Hello Kitty products. LOL! I know, I'm insane!! Haha! I really want the Brush set for the holder but I know its not worth it coz I don't even want the brushes. So I decided not to get it. I wish I can find a brush holder like that. But I made/designed my old brush set and hello-kitty-fied it. Haha! I'm possessed little kitty.

Okay so for my Hello Kitty Haul, I picked up some duplicates like the 2 palettes so I can sell it later. Haha. So I won't touch that. :) Then I decided to get more lippies Just because.. :p

Too Dolly Palette

Lucky Tom Palette

Mimmy Lipglass - Ohhh I love this one! Its very "corally" :p

Fast Friends Lipglass- I got this just because it looks good when I tried it. :P I dunno if I will keep it or I'll sell it along with the palettes.

Big Bow Lipstick - I love how its so bright but it looks so nice when applied on the lips :)

Strayin Lipstick - Now this is my favorite. In person, it screams hot pink but when applied to lips, it gives you that pussy pink look. lol jk! But it looks really nice :p

Then the next day (which was yesterday), I went back to Macys to do some Back2MAC. I have 12 empty MAC containers and you know Macys only gives out free lipstick. I so wanted to go to South Coasts so I can get a lipgloss or an eyeshadow but its too far :( So the MUA told me to choose 2 lipstick, and here's what I got:

Shy Girl Lipstick - I decided to get this. Its so pretty! I'm in love :p Its so creamy and not drying. My pet peeve? No box!! AhhH! She took the box because she said they need it for inventory or something. :(

Fashion Mews Lipstick - I was gonna get the "Lavender whip" but decided to get this instead. Its not really purple on the lips. Its like a light pinkish with blue undertone to it. I love it when I tried it on. I actually got the last tube at that Macys. So I'm pretty stoked! :) Again, she didn't give me the pretty box. I'm sad.. Can I have your hello Kitty box? haha!

Then I went to Ontario Mills and got myself this for my car. Yay for Hello Kitty CD Visor. :) I saw the shirt below at Wet Seal for $22. I thought it was too cute but i wasn't able to get it. Too expensive for just a t-shirt. :/


I also did a video of my "look" yesterday but wasn't able to edit it. I'm too lazy with the editing part and I hate how I don't know how to fix the setting on my MACbook. I will post some FOTDs anyway. :p Please ignore my zits. LOL! Its "RED" who to blame. Oh, I used my Palette from the Red She Said Collection which I got at the CCO.

PRODUCTS USED: FACE:

• L'egere BB Cream
• MAC "Sunbasque" Blush

EYES:

• MAC "Soft Ochre" Paint Pot as a primer

Also, I tried doing my entry for M's contest. I tried copying Blair Waldorf and I sucked so bad, I think I will re-do my entry. :/ Plus I don't have that much headbands. I wish I have a lot to choose for this look :( What do you guys think? Should I re-do it? :/

Whew. Long post! I hope you didn't get tired of reading this entry. :p I don't have work today so I decided to clean the house. I got so tired. After resting, I decided to paint my nails with my 2 new China Glaze Nail polishes.

I painted my nails with "NAKED" - a cute pink nail polish. Kinda like the the MAC HK "Something about Pink" except this polish is only $3.99. :p

Then I decided to do french tips and used "THISTLE" - Kinda like MAC HK "On the Prowl" Nail polish :)

And super Thanks to Tia who taught me how to do PrtSc :) Poupee Girls all together :)

Diana, Me, and Tia :)

That's it for today. Whew! :) I leave you guys with a photo which Adrian took while we were driving on the way to the mall. Soooo romantic :)
