Day 1: A Total Inventory of All the Makeup and Makeup Tools You Own

Okay so before I start this post, let me just warn you that you wont be seeing much. As I dont really use a lot of make up and stuffs mainly because I like to keep my face clean. I'm more of an eyeliner - lipstick kind of girl, so that's prolly my most important make up item. But I still buy and use other stuffs, just not that much :P

Anyways, here are a few of my make up and make up tools. Some might be missing cos I think I lost them when we moved. Or my little sister hid them. Again.

As you can see, there's only a few. I dont use that much tools. And most of my items are lip products, cos its what I am really really fond of.

This is all that I've gathered

LIP PRODUCTS

I think this is something that I'll always be guilty of. Its like everytime I see a lippy that looks pretty, I get this feeling that I just have to have it :((. But then I try to restrain myself from buying a lot because I dont want them to waste, seeing that I also dont use them a lot. Idk, I just want to collect.

Top: Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Lipstick (both are in shades of red but with different names)

Middle (L-R): Elana Minerals Lip Tint, Nyx Round Lipgloss in Apricot and True Red, Sophie Paris Lipstick in Ice Pink, Nichido Matte Lipstick in Love Potion, Maybelline Baby Lips Color in Pink Peony, Maybelline Baby Lips in Oxidizing Berry, Nyx Round Lipstick in Chic, Sophie Paris Lipstick in Cotton Peach

Bottom: Nyx Lip Liner Pencil in Coral, Nyx Long Pencil Lip Liner in Pinky

MAKE UP TOOLS

I am thinking of buying a few products soon, maybe when the weather is good enough for make up not to melt. But for now since its so hot, make up is not an option so I'll just be happy with these tools haha. Also, I have a heated eyelash curler but I cant seem to find it.

Top-Bottom: Something for the eyebrows (idk what its called lol), Real Techniques Brushes

CHEEK PRODUCTS

Aside from the basic eyeliner and lippies, I also love blush on. Though seldom used, from time to time I apply one just to put a little color on my cheeks or for a fresher look.

Top: Pink Powder Blush (forgot the brand), Maybelline Clear Smooth Shine Free Blush in Fresh Coral, Nichido Cheek Tint

Bottom: Avon Face Pearls, Maybelline Cheeky Glow in Fresh Coral

EYE PRODUCTS

Ahhh! Another guilty pleasure. This is more of a collection rather than something that I really need or use. I mean, I would really really love to be able to use them but since I am yet to learn how to apply eyeshadow so these might just have to wait.

Top: Ever Bilena Dual Eyeshadow, Carmela Quad Eyeshadow, Maybelline Eye Studio Lumineyes Shadow

Middle: Sugarpill Cosmetics Pressed Eyeshadow in Afterpart, Tako, Dollipop and Midori

Bottom: BH Cosmetics 88 Color Tropical Matte Eyeshadow Palette, Maybelline Falsies Mascara, Nichido 2-n-1 Mascara, Wet n Wild Eyeliner, Yves Rocher Super Pulp Volumizing Mascara

 FACE PRODUCTS

Sometimes if I dont feel like putting something on my face, all I need is a good moisturizer and Im good to go. The weather doesnt permit me to layer up on foundation and bb cream *sigh*

Top: Wet n Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturiser, Foundation (I forgot the brand), Kokuryu Summer Cake Foundation, Myra Face Moisturiser

Bottom: Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One Shine-Free Foundation, Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream Stick

I am definitely getting more soon, in the near future. Or maybe when I move out and get a job? Haha. But I am surely going to buy more.

[CLOSED] BH Cosmetics 88 Color Tropical Matte Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

After finishing up some photos I am now finally ready to blog about the 88 Color Tropical Matte from BH Cosmetics. I have to say though that this post is picture heavy. And to compensate for the massive photos I uploaded, please read through the end because I have an awesome giveaway ready for you guys :)

Me and my 88 Color Tropical Matte Palette ^_^

Err fingerprints :|

Product Description

Even sassy urban princesses go on tropical retreats: warm up your eyes with year-round, summer-toned beauty. Breezy blues and sea glass greens dance with peony pinks and lilting lilacs. Sand dune taupes and ocean-splashed grays are as coolly lovely as a late summer sunset.

Packaging

The palette comes in a black packaging which is very classy and elegant for me. I can even see my reflection because of the glossy surface. Inside, there's a big mirror for you too look at while applying make-up, two eyeshadow applicators and of course, the eye-shadows.

Mirror mirror on my palette :P

Up close, you can really see the beauty of the colors. I had fun looking at them because they are all pretty.

Of course I swatched all 88 colors on my hand. I had a hard time with some of the shades because they just won't show up even though I swatched it many times. I guess they have to be build up heavily or something. But still, it doesn't affect the overall beauty of the entire palette.

Here are the swatches I made from all 88 colors. Enjoy~

My Review

BH Cosmetics 88 Color Tropical Matte is a very wonderful product! It contains a lot of colors that are perfect for everyday use. With 88 shades, you don't have to worry about running out of ideas to create for your eyes because there are just a lot of combinations and great creations that you can do with this palette.

As you have seen in the above swatches, some shades might take a longer time to show while the rest are just so pigmented and gorgeous. My favorite shades are the pastel purples, pink, yellows and greens. I also adore the very rich and thick shade of the black eyeshadow. There are also a lot of neutral shades in this palette, which I reckon would be perfect for nude make-up or neutral looks.

Overall, I am very glad to have this in my stash. I have heard good things about the other palettes from BH Cosmetics and this one is just so perfect. I couldn't think of any other eyeshadow palette that is just as wonderful as this one is.
