FOTD + my cat

Hello everyone! It's weekend already!! yipee!! hehe I really like to rest :)


It has been quite some time since my last FOTD so I decided to post one today..actually this FOTD will serve as a swatch for my new blush..I got a loot bag during our Japanese friend's birthday party. The bag has some cute fake nals (but I don't know how to attach those hehe), hair clips and these two palettes.


What caught my eyes is this palette..I so love the shade of the blushes! Very pretty and fresh. Sadly, it doesn't lasts the whole day on my oily skin but i'm happy that it lasts for 4-5 hours. I'm not sure though if it causes breakouts or not coz I got itchy when I wore it and the weather was super hot..I'm not sure...

Here's a swatch on my cheeks under natural lighting..isn't it the prettiest? ^_^


It looks so natural! I used both shades and I applied it using my Lumiere stippling brush.


Here are some looks that showed the blush on my cheeks. This is my look lately coz I'm trying to minimize the products that I use on my face to help my skin breath while it is healing from breakouts.


FACE
- Ellana Sheer Velvet powder primer in White Chocolate
- Meow Frisky Abyssinian in Flawless Feline formula
- Aromaleigh URFP in Peaches and Cream


EYES
- Mary Kay Signature Concealer in Ivory (all over lid and undereye area)
- Ellana undereye concealer in Awake (all over lid and undereye area)
- Artdeco e/s in #20 (on upper lashline)
- The Face Shop white eyeliner pencil (on lower lashline and inner corners)


LIPS
- Clarins lipliner in Naturale-Soft Nude
- Stila lipgloss in Vanilla? (I'm not sure on the shade name coz the sticker was gone haha)
Here's a close up swatch..I just applied my Clarins lipliner all over my lips and then topped it with my Stila lipgloss (it's a sheer bronzey shade with gold flecks) :)
Here's another one ^_^

I'm in love with blush's shade but I want something that lasts the whole day..I hate retouching during the day..If any of you knows a blush with high quality pigmentation and staying power with the same shade as this, please post them on the comment section below..I would like to have a peachy pink blush that has sheen and a little shimmer (not glitters).. I'm looking forward for your recommendations! Thank you! ^_^
I want to end my post with a picture of my cat "Muning". This is how she looks like when she's sleeping and "sun-bathing" on her favorite spot (in my window)..She can stay a long time like that without moving :)

Till my next post! Thanks! ^_^
