3 Looks with Morphe Brushes 35N Palette
Hi y'all!
Remember the 35N palette I hauled in this post? Today, I'm gonna share 3 different looks using this palette. I bought a DEFECT item hence why there's black spots on several eyeshadows and the black one at bottom right is cracked. But it didn't interfere with the quality of the product.
35N is an all matte palette mainly consisting of neutral and brown eyeshadows.
Let's get into the actual post!
SPRING LOOK
I've used the coral pinkish shade (3rd row, 1st column) on my entire lid. Coral is a timeless spring color and looks absolutely gorgeous on most skintone.
Some coral colors have poor color pay off but this one by Morphe is ah-may-zing. I did wet my brush with the ELF Mist and Set Spray and the pay off became even better.
However it tend to fade off easily so I have to keep packing on the eyeshadow. I didn't experience this issue with the grey eyeshadow in my cool tone look. Maybe the fading is due to me wetting the shadow.
KPOP GIRL GROUP INSPIRED LOOK
This look is typically seen in KPOP. Its just a wash of brown eyeshadow all over the lid with smudged eyeliners. I took inspiration from the latest Oh My Girl MV "Liar Liar Liar"
This is the simplest look out of all 3 looks I've made. I did wear false lashes on the outer corner and I nearly fail LOL.
Any type of brown eyeshadows works with this look. Koreans love their browns ;)
COOL TONE LOOK
I wanted to do a look with the grey eyeshadow in the palette and this is what I've come up with. I took inspiration from KathleenLights of Youtube.
Coincidentally, I've recently purchased Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Chi which is described as "cool tone nude beige". I figure it would be perfect to pair up these two to match the theme.
My face look a little washed out since the blush on my cheeks failed to show up on camera :(
What do you think guys? Which looks do you like the most??

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer 10 Light
Hi earthlings!
I recently purchased one of the drugstore cult favorite concealer. This is unavailable in Malaysia and the only way to purchase it is online. I purchased mine through Carousell for RM30 (w/o postage).
Initially, I have the hardest time to select the correct shade for my skin tone. I wanted to purchase the shade 20 Sand but after seeing the swatches comparison, I decided to go with 10 Light instead. Still it was a difficult decision because different swatches have different lighting.
I was surprised to see such small doe foot applicator. I honestly think its kinda adorable LOL. I noticed that it doesn't pick up too much product in one dip. Which is a good thing because ain't nobody want a cakey undereyes.
The tools used.
A'pieu Air Fit Nude Foundation (No. 23) || Forever 21 Beauty Blender || Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder Pact (Click to read reviews)
A concealer review is not complete without a demo, right?
Foundation on, bare undereyes.
Concealer dotted on the orbital bone.
Upon application, I find that the shade is misleading. It is not as fair as I thought it would be. Its basically the same shade as my foundation.
Do not be fooled by the camera. The naked eyes will see a warm peach undertone while in the camera it looks like it has a yellow tone.
How it actually look like

Before powder.
Once blended, it must be set immediately with powder. It creases so fast and accentuates the lines under my eyes D: I barely have time to put down the sponge and it already settle in my undereyes line. On the other hand, it doesn't accentuate the dryness under my eyes due to its hydrating texture.
I have to bake my undereyes when using this. Otherwise it WILL crease.
After powder
Both applied.
It is incredibly similar to the Collection Lasting Concealer in 02 Cool Medium.
This is the main reason I choose the shade Light instead of Sand. Cool Medium is my perfect shade and it can never go wrong.
However the consistency is considerably different. The Maybelline Fit Me has a thinner texture and less peach-ier than the Collection concealer. But both of them are still in the same colour spectrum.
Overall, I think its a lighweight, medium coverage concealer. Its great for an everyday use but it needs to be set properly to prevent creasing. :)

ELF Cosmetics Matte Magic Mist and Set Review
Hola earthlings!
I've recently hauled this mist in my March haul post. I've heard mixed reviews about it yet I still want to try it for myself. Since this is my first makeup setting spray, I figure I would go low end first to see whether I can save some cash from it. I bought this fro RM18.
The mist comes in a 80mL spray bottle. The sleek and chic design really gives out the bad bitch vibe LOL. I was attracted by the word 'matte' and 'set' due to my oily complexion. I want something that can further mattify and control my oiliness through out the day.
Quite small and handy to toss inside my makeup pouch. It doesn't take up a lot of space plus the cap is secure. No leaking and such.
Firsrt off, the spray mist is awful. Its not fine enough to lightly dampen the face, instead I find myself almost feeling wet even after I sprayed it from an arm's length. The mist also takes longer time than the UD Setting Spray (I tried the tester, it vaporizes within 30-60 seconds).
The scent is pleasant. Its nothing chemical-y or synthetic. Unfortunately it didn't give me a matte finish, in fact it gives a dewy finish. Notice the glow on my face. Normally, without setting spray I wouldn't get shiny on my cheeks but looking in the mirror, I can see a subtle glow whenever light hits my face. It looks pretty but not my cup of tea.
It prolong my makeup wear. Usually when I remove my makeup by 5pm, there's barely nothing on the wipes. Meaning most of it had wear off. But its a different story when I use the mist. Fyi, I'm using the same foundation for 8hours ; Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Poreless Foundation. The foundation is certainly not long lasting but paired with the mist, the wear time become exceptionally longer :O I'm impressed.
If you like dewy finish, prolong wear time and affordable makeup mist, go and buy this. :D

Korean Cosmetics Online Store in Malaysia
Hi earthlings!
I've been a fan of Korean cosmetics for 4-5 years now. They are affordable, comes with appealing packaging and works wonderfully. I feel that the makeups are injected with innovation and continuous improvement. They make BB/CC cream and lip tint popular plus invented cushion foundation/blusher/eyeliner.
However, most of them are unavailable locally except for global brand such as Etude House, Nature Republic, The Faceshop, Innisfree, etc. Some of them are expensive especially Etude House due to import taxes :(
Fortunately, I found 2 local websites that sell K-beauty cosmetics. Both have affordable shipping option and offer reasonable prices and promotions.
https://www.kyoubeauty.com
The store provide easy navigation to their products and there's a large selection of brand s available. They also sell popular items such as the April Skin Magic Cushion and Missha x Line collab items. Check them out guys!
Simple design with pops of color can never go wrong :)
http://major-b.com
I accidentally found this store when I was blog walking. They're operating from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah which is awesome (cause I'm Sabahan too lol). The major attraction of this site is that they sell beauty tools. They also offer affordable prices and you will get a RM15 off coupon upon first registration.
I personally haven't purchase anything from them because I iz broke T___T
But feel free to share your experience in the comment if you have purchase from these sites. :)
Take care! XOXO
