Magic Of Makeups

Hello hello hello!

As promised, I'm here to reveal the goodies in the little black FACESSS bag from my previous post.

I'm sure you've heard of the L'oreal Infaillable Eyeshadows since it first debuted late last year. It sent quite a number of us into a little tizzy as we hunted them down across the island.

They've been compared (texture wise) to the Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Silk Eye Shadows and they do seem to resemble each other closely. Same hybrid pigment-cream consistency and vivid colour payoff. The main difference I noticed is that the L'oreal ones are less sparkly.

There are only 5 shades available here in Singapore and I got 3 of them. Here they are:

After 3 day of anguish and agony, I managed to get my laptop repaired (the old hard drive crashed due to wear and tear) and I can now blog with a vengeance! Bwahaha! So happy!!! And the kind uncle at Sim Lim even managed to retrieve most of my data! Woots! Words can't describe how relieved I am right now hee hee.

Really appreciate how hardy my Fujitsu laptop is. I've had it since December 2006 and I was told by the kind uncle that it should last me another 3 years or more. Wheee!!!

Happy CNY everyone!

December was a busy, yet fun and enjoyable month, thanks to a certain bunch of awesome friends *wink wink*

And I shopped a lot as usual. Sigh.

This was the first time that I'm using Giorgio Armani's ETK eyeshadow and I must say that I am extremely impressed by the quality of it. I used a flat stiff brush to apply it onto my lids over NYX's Black Bean and there was no fall out and it was a breeze to blend out. Makes me wanna get more!

Have you tried this before? What's your favourite ETK eyeshadow?

Happy New Year everyone!
