Guys, I recently got 2 sleek palettes from UK!! I'm really really excited and can't wait to blog about it and today finally I get a chance to do it. They have so many great eyeshadow palettes to choose from and I decided to try Safari and Storm. I'm impressed! The color is so pretty and pigmented. Totally a hit! Here are my sleek palettes:

The one on the left is Safari and the right one is Storm


Safari palette's swatches:

Storm's palette's swatches:


Safari is colorful, playful, and fun. Storm is more natural, easy to wear, perfect for everyday look.

I would say that they are impossible to find here in States but I want to get more of them. They are amazing.
I want to CP them right from UK. If you're interested with these palettes, shoot me an email at whiteangel1419 [at] gmail.com so we can combine our shipping.

Sleek have several palettes that are permanent:
Original,
Chaos,
Storm,
Acid,
Sunset

and some that are limited edition:
Jewel,
Safari,
Curious,
Graphite

My next palettes will be Graphite, Original, Curious, and Sunset.

How about yours?

I believe most of you have tried ELF's products. For those of you that haven't, it might be a useful guideline of what to get. All of their products are only $1 and $3 for their studio line products.
You can get them at their official website here or at Target.

Here are my 5 most loveeed ELF products and 5 that I regret buying.

My #1 most loved ELF product :

Definitely their Eyeshadow brush
(Whenever I want to apply my eyeshadow I always reach for this brush. My HG eyeshadow brush)











#2 ELF Studio Eyebrow Kit in Dark












# 3 ELF Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder
(The bronzer is amazing.. People usually compare it to NARS Orgasm/Laguna blush & bronzer)









#4 ELF Foundation Brush
(super cheap but works wonderfully)









#5 ELF Cream Eyeliner in Black
(a lot of product for its price. Long lasting.)








I have more on my loved list, but that was my top 5.


Now 5 ELF products that I regret buying are:
(Basically they sit on my train case all the time. useless!)






#1 ELF Tone Correcting Concealer
(didn't work)











#2 ELF Studio Under Eye concealer & Highlighter
(didn't work as well)









#3 ELF Mineral Eyeshadow
(messy. messy. messy.)










#4 ELF Sugar Kiss False Eyelashes in Bling
(messy glitter on the eyelashes)











#5 ELF All Over Color Stick
(didn't like the texture)







Note : Something that didn't work for me doesn't mean it will not work for you. It's just my personal opinion that I would like to share. People have different opinion. Overall ELF is a great cosmetic company that carry excellent products that exceed my expectation. Great price. Great customer service. Love ELF... ok everyone, hope it helps!

Guys, I've been in love with this brush since the day I got it from Forever21. I didn't expect much. I bought it because it was so pretty. Look at that pink bristles and the printed handle! I can't resist.. LOL..
After I washed it, I tried to put on my blush with this brush. OMG It was incredibly soft!!! It creates natural and soft application on my cheeks. Unbelievable.. I went online and order few more.. :D
This is my HG (Holy Grail) blush brush.

Happy Belated New Year everyone!!! Hope you have a wonderful year ahead of you~~

I just finished my first week of school.. fiuh~~ and YEY for weekend! :D
I'm going to watch Sherlock Holmes (hopefully) tomorrow night.. :) My sister said it was better than Avatar?? Idk.. Let see... LOL..

Guys, I've done a lot of online shopping during my winter holiday and some of my stuff are not even here yet! >.<

So let's just start with few items that I already got, which is from Adambeauty.com. They shipped my items within 2 days and the package arrived after 15 days. Well I think it's not bad since it was sent from HK to San Francisco and it was during busy Christmas time.

From left to right :
Lavshuca Eye Color Select in PU-2 (new color replacing the discontinued PU-1),
Kate Deep Trap Eyes in BR-1,
Lavshuca Dramatic Memory Rouge in Pk-3, and
Coffret D'or Full Styling Rouge in BE-179 (Glow range)

All of them are from Kanebo. In my opinion Kanebo has the best product lines compare to other Japanese makeup brands.



This is my first Japanese Drugstore Makeup Haul and I would say that I'm impressed with the packaging~~~ esp. the Lavshuca one!



Lavshuca Eye Color Select in PU-2 creates an elegant purple look and Kate Deep Trap Eyes in BR-1 gives you more of the natural glow...

The color itself is not very pigmented as you can see below. I have to swatch it few times.


Love Love Love the lipstick... I'm a huge fan of lippies and I think these babies are amazing...



But when I tried it on, Lavshuca lipstick looks very pretty on my lips but it was kinda drying where Coffret D'or one is more creamy and moisturizing but the color didn't show up really well on my lips.
The combination of both will be perfect!! If I can just have Lavshuca's color and packaging + Coffret D'or quality in one lipstick! LOL..
I would still recommend them though if you want to try Japanese Drugstore makeup. Definitely get both of this!


Hope you guys enjoy it~~~ tell me what you think...
