Happy Birthday!

*sigh* 31 years old, and none the wiser. Still love the pressies though :)

I thought the cake was very apt.

My Makeup Info -Face

Skin

As I have a combination to oily skin with a yellow undertone and I am pretty much neutral, I suit both warm and cool colours. So when I am pale in Winter, I like silver/ cool taupe browns e/s with a cool pink lip and in Summer (like in the pic above), I go for warm golds/ bronze/ apricots/ coral-pinky colours.

Foundation

I am a foundation hoor and my drawer of foundation bottles is just ridiculous. I always try and justify it by telling myself I am an MA but I hardly do jobs anymore because I am just too busy with my full-time job.

So I am pale in Winter and I have found the best matches to be: MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC20, NARS Sheer Glow in Deauville, ELDW Bone, MUFE HD 117-120

In Summer avec a bit of St. Tropez mousse: MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC30, NARS Sheer Glow in Stromboli, MUFE HD 127

Concealer

Currently I double conceal, when I am pale Cle de Peau (CdP) in Ivory and set with MAC select cover up in NW20 and when more tanned CdP in Beige with NW25.

Highlighters

I love my Dior Amber Diamond!

Contour

I always contour with Benefit's Hoola Bronzer. Yes, it's expensive but I have used that baby everyday for the last 3 months - and not even a dip!?

Posey Poser

I hate posing.

It's so ironic that I love makeup but often hate the superficiality of it all. It is difficult to explain.

But-

It makes me feels good inside and gives a spring in my step- so I simply can not stop doing it.

*sigh*

I hate posing.

...so to show you that deep down I am an average and normal girl, I had to post a picture of the real me (above) sans makeup. I can't stop giggling, it's such a horrible picture but I think albeit, necessary. To show you that - makeup can truly create miracles LOL :)

I honestly love nothing better than to TAKE MY SLAP OFF and lounge around in my juicy couture trackie pants with a very worn-out red Elmo (sesame street character) T-shirt, snuggled up with Tess (my teddy) watching a DVD. Since, I have ADHD (not really; just an inability to keep still), this is My time; MY glorious 'time' to preen. Either to do my tootsie or finger nail polish with perhaps a scrub mask on. I am actually doing this right now.......tee hee hee.

As Charlotte (from Sex and The City) would say, this is 'my SSB' - secret single behaviour. Well, actually not so secret now....eeek.

Enjoy your night.....tomorrow there may be a video on the horizon :)

My Mantra

Me, Myself and I

Welcome to my little corner of the world wide web - this blog features the musings of a girly-girl who loves all things pink and shallow ( - and is not afraid to admit it!) . We live in a world that admires beauty, yet belittle those who have it - with assumptions that they must be intellectually-challenged. I stand up- right here and right now- to heartily disagree, you CAN be clever AND beautiful. There is power with intelligence but there is also power in beauty.

Combined- it is a weapon.

Embrace it.

Hence, my mantra....

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
