Sonia Kashuk Instructional Eyeshadow Palette

  I found this sonia kashuk eyeshadow palette at Target,  it was original $19.99 but on clearance for $9.98 now. This is a 12 eyeshadow palette with a slide open tray which contains instruction for 3 different makeup looks, quite interesting, but I'm not sold for the instruction or packaging, I really really love these 12 color.

These 12 shadows are all different, matte, shimmery and metallic colors, even though I don't usually wear blue or purple eyeshadow, but I know sonia kashuk makes great products and this palette looks so cute! I really like the color combination in this palette and let's see how it does for me.( I will have review later.)

Have a good weekend!

April Favorites

Here's my favorites of the month April, I can't believe time passes so fast. So many thing involved during this month and I'm so glad of what I have accomplished so far. Moving in to my new place, I don't have any idea of where to take my picture yet so please excuse today's post.

Yankee candles 
I'm really enjoy these mini Yankee candles right now, I brought them mainly because the smell of the new  paint in my room, even though I have air fresher but I don't really like to use them. These little ones are great for almost everywhere, I place them also in my closet.

  Sal de Bano Coconut Bath Salts
I found this at Marshalls. The smell is true to the actual coconut scent, doesn't smell artificial at all. It contains urea and claims help to reestablish the natural moisture of the skin. I don't feel a big difference on my skin by using this but it doesn't make my skin feels dry or anything.

 St. Ives Apricot Scrub
I like the smell of it and how it works on my skin,  the scrub is too harsh on my cheeks so I'm using this more often on my forehead, nose and chin area.

For the makeup favorites of this month, I don't have anything new because nothing have found caught my attention. Two wet n wild eye shadow sets and two Revlon lipsticks are figured in my previous posts, one thing I want to mention is the lipstick 415 pink in the afternoon really surprises me by how long it lasts on my lips, I will say more than 5 hours with all the drinking and eating.

That's it for this month. Thanks for reading and have a good one!

How I Make Brown Eyes Pop & Tips for Enlarge The Eyes

To make brown eye pop    I will use a warm color eye shadow to bring out the eyelid, then add color for more depth. Select a mid tone color to blend the light and dark shade together.  My favorite color for brown eyes: peach, champagne, pearl, gold, brown.

Look 1:  Brown, gold or olive color eye shadows. 

Using different shade to create depth for the eye. Use a dark color, here I'm using dark brown color to line the outer corner of my eye, lower lash line and bring it out. Line the eye using a liquid eye liner also bring it out, this will enlarge my eye and make it looks longer.

Look 2:  Peach, or pearl color eye shadow.

Using a warm color define the eye lid, one of my favorite color for brown eye is peach color, it makes brown eyes really stand out. Use a darker color for the crease, make sure to blend it well.  Add a white or pearl color to the inner corner of the eye also below the lower lash line, this will bring out the eye even more.

       ❤ Tips for enlarge eye:   

 1: layering color to create depth for the eye. 

 2: Use dark shade and eye liner to extent the length of the eye.
3: Highlight inner corner and also below the lower lash line to make it stands out.
 4: Highlight the bridge of the nose also add contour. The position is between the eyebrow and eyes. (see picture below)

This is how I use makeup to enlarge my eyes since I cannot wear contact lenses. I'm accumulated some tips through my experience and hope you find this is helpful.

Thanks for reading!

Weekend Project: Depot Eye shadows

Simple way to depot eye shadows and use CD case to place them.

You will need:  CD case,scissors,cardboard,decoration paper, glue.

Drugstore eye shadows are easy to depot by using a pointed knife. Depends on the texture of the shadow 
and size of the eye shadow pot, if its too soft and small, it will be hard to depot because it breaks easily.
 I have no problem depot eye shadows by Maybelline, Revlon, Physician Formula.
ELF shadows and Wet n wild are difficult because the pan is too soft and easy to break.  

Prepare the old CD case: I took the inside out then cut the decoration paper and cardboard match the size of the case. If you want, you can also make a front cover for it, but I like it clear so I can see all the shadows. Place the eye shadows on the cardboard, use glue to set them in place. For those still has glue on the bottom, use heat to melt it then place it the way you want.

One CD case can place shadows from four or five eye shadow palettes. It cleans up a lot of space for me and I don't need to open each one of them when I do my makeup. 
Do you have any interesting ideas of placing eye shadows?

Thanks for reading!
