NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

I always like using cream shadow sticks for a light eye makeup day. I've chanced upon NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencil and saw this lovely light golden colour. I knew that I have to give it a try!

In shade 630 Cashmere. It is a pretty slim eye pencil compared to the Clinique's Chubby Stick, but not quite as thin as an eyeliner pencil. I do think it is a really nice size.

The light shimmery golden shade is really pretty and I really wanted to love it BUT it creases so badly on my eyelids! I never had any problems with cream eye shadows. Not the Clinique Chubby Stick, Not the MAC Paintpots and Not the Maybelline Colour Tattoos.

Overall, I am a little disappointed that this would crease on me, but I might give it another try with a primer or using a powder eye shadow over it.

& I am a Nail Polish Addict

Hi, my name is Sarah and I am a nail polish addict. Today, I am going to share with you my current nail colour and the various colours I had bought back in December when I was in UK.

The Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint. This Nail polish true to its name, it is really high shine and thick like Gel manicure (in a good way ofcourse). Oh, it last really well too.



I am currently wearing the colour Passion Fruit.

I have it also in Guava

and Pomegranate.

It has a good sized brush, really easy for application.

It picks up the right amount of polish.

I can't wait to wear the rest of the colours on my nails soon! Please Barry M, come to Singapore. I need more of you.

Let me know what are the shades you love!

How I Travel With My Makeup Brushes

I would be leaving for Japan, Tokyo, real soon and I would like to share with you girls how I bring my makeup brushes when I travel.

This is my makeup brush roll, I got it from an etsy seller calles I Love Pickles and I absolutely love it! She has plenty of designs to choose from.

With a small additional fee, I had my name embroiled. If I am not wrong, you can even choose your font and colour.

The brush roll comes with a plastic-y top so that your used brushes would not stain the fabric. You can just use a damp cloth to clean it.

It has sleeves of different width to fit different brushes.

As you can see, I can fit even more brushes if i wanted to. Here are the brushes that I've brought along.

Big Powder brush

Real Technique brushes that i use for Blush, Foundation and Concealor.

Sephora brush for Bronzer.

Real Techniques eye shadow brush.

Elf Eye Shadow Brush, Daniel Sandler Brow Groomer, Sigma Pencil Brush, Sigma Taper Blending E45 Brush.

I try to bring as little brushes as I can when I travel but I have always preferred using brushes over using my finger. I feel more hygienic that way. Well, that is just personal preference.

Do check up I love pickles etsy page if you are interested, I had no regrets buying my brush roll, it makes travelling with brushes so much more convenient.

bareMinerals Customizable Get Started Kit

Recently, I was out looking for a foundation that is lighter for everyday wear. I have always been curious over mineral foundations and Bareminerals always catches my eye in Sephora.

Especially because they have a whole customisable kit! It comes with the foundation of your shade (you can ask the sephora girls to help colour match you),  Mineral Veil, Bronzer, Primer and 2 Brushes.

I am in the shade Fair.

The foundation has SPF 15 and comes with a really useful sift that you can open and close it to prevent spillage.

The little pot of bronzer it comes with. It is pretty dark for me and I have to use the bronzer really sparingly. Love the colour though.

The 2 brushes that came with it are the Full Flawless Face Brush and the Flawless Application Face Brush.

I use the Full Flawless Face Brush for my foundation as it provides a higher coverage and the Flawless Application Face Brush for my Mineral Veil (which is a setting powder) and Bronzer.

                              Before                                                                                        After

This is the foundation on my skin without concealor. The foundation is really build-able and smooth. If it is a little too powdery looking, spray some Mac fix+ over it.

I have really been enjoying using the Bareminerals foundation, it's so quick and easy to use!

Do let me know what are your favourite mineral foundation to use, I would love to give them a try too.
