Contact Lenses

Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been really busy with work and life + a little bit lazy with my blogging. For a while, blogging started to feel like a chore for me and decided I needed a bit of a break and actually blog when I want to (as opposed to feeling like I have to!). I meant to do this look ever since MAC Spring Colour Forecast came out (4 weeks ago!), but I never had the time. I'm on a short Easter break now, and I realise I haven't posted a LOOK in a long time. So here's my peach and pink look inspired by the Coral sub-collection in MAC Spring Colour Forecast! I think it looks sweet and good enough to eat lol. I hope you like it xxx


I used:

EYES
MAC Rubenesque paint pot (base)
MAC eyeshadows in Nanogold (highlight), Dear Cupcake (satin medium-pink, crease), Evening Aura (peachy gold, lid)
MAC Black Russian eye liner (black with sparkles, upper lashline)
MAC Fascinating eye kohl (white, waterline)
Maybelline Falsies Mascara - love! ♥
MAC Spiked brow pencil

FACE
MAC Select Moisturecover concealer
MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural
MAC Sun & Moon mineralized blush
MAC Pearl cream colour base

LIPS
MAC Mouth Off lip pencil (orange)
MAC Fresh Salmon lipstick (coral with gold sheen)

I really liked this look and the bf complimented me on it. When I do wear a full face of makeup, I usually go for dark and smokey makeup and not like this, but since I like the way this turned out, I think I'll try wearing brighter colours more often. ♥ What's your makeup style? ♥

I've also been sporting these green contacts since Spring started. They're Flex Wear Emotions, although I can't recall the shade name. I really like them. I had them in my stash for a while (sealed of course), but I just decided to whip them out when I saw the gorgeous Amanda Seyfriend on the cover of one of the recent magazines - Glamour I think?

As I said, I really like these green contacts but my bf seems to prefer me with my brown or blue lenses. What do you think? ♥

Do you like this look?? xx

I also got to check out the MAC Liberty of London collection last week, and my haul will be on my next post! :) x

LOOK: Peach and Pink - Inspired by MAC Spring Colour Forecast


Here's my first look using products from the MAC Warm and Cozy collection! All neutral colours. Funny that this is one of those 'natural' looks that takes a bit of makeup to work haha. I also used my newly acquired Maybelline eyeliner! Its a gorgeous colour, and so smooth to apply! I'm so happy with it. Anyway, enjoy ~! ♥

I used:

EYES
MAC Rubenesque paint pot (gold, all over lid as base)
MAC MSFN in Medium Dark & Pearl cream colour base to highlight
MAC eyeshadows in Vanilla (cream, lid), Evening Aura (pale peach-gold duochrome, outer crease) & Modelette (caramel, inner crease)
Maybelline Brown Gleam eye kohl
L'oreal Double Extension mascara primer
Maybelline Collosal Volume mascara

MAC Spiked brow pencil

FACE
MAC Select Moisturecover concealer
MAC MSFN in Medium Plus & Medium Dark
MAC So Ceylon MSF (rose-bronze, cheeks)

LIPS
MAC Cork lip pencil
MAC Siss lipstick
MAC Feeling Dreamy lipglass












On the phone to the bf, I'm so vain lol!


With two of my favourite lippies! Siss lipstick and Feeling Dreamy lipglass!

And did you notice my new blue contacts? They're Flex Wear Emotions in the shade Riviera

I hope you enjoyed this look! What do you think?!!

LOOK: Soft Neutrals with Warm and Cozy



Flex Wear Colors contact lenses in Charcoal.

These contacts have two colours blended together: light grey and black. My eyes tend to give my coloured contacts a bluish tinge when worn so it kinda looks like an icy blue in the picture.

Dia: 14.0
B.C: 8.6

I haven't used these contacts much, but I used them in my Halloween 2009 and 21st birthday looks. I must say though, these aren't the most comfortable ones I've tried. I think they're a bit hard/thick? And seems like my eyes feel dry more quickly than other ones.

Hope this helps though! ♥

Lenses: Flex Wear Colors in Charcoal

If you've been reading my blog for quite some time, you'll know I use contact lenses a lot. For two reasons really: 1) I'm terrible with the clear ones - I just can't see them! 2) I think playing with my eye colour's pretty cool.

I've tried several lenses and used them in different looks; but now I've just realised that I should make posts on which ones I'm using in case it might help one (or many) of you out there choosing your coloured contact lenses. So here's my first one! It's the new pair I've started using a few days ago:

Flex Wear Emotions in Grey Mist (Gray)



Diameter: 14.0
Base Curve: 8.6

I know its supposed to be grey, but for some reason my eyes make grey lenses look blueish. Odd.

Well I hope that helps someone! xx
