Cute Press holiday makeup gift ideas

The season of joy and gifting is upon us once again, and what better way to celebrate the festivities than to give back to our friends and loved ones?

Every year, I rack my brains to come up with practical, functional, and affordable presents for my friends – gifts that all my girlies would enjoy without breaking my bank. And I’m sure by now your calendar is starting to fill up with Christmas dinner plans that would probably require some gifting options. How about giving the gift of glow and fun with Cute Press’ holiday makeup collection?

Preserving hummingbirds’ habitats with Chantecaille Spring 2020 Makeup Collection: Review, Swatches & Makeup Look

Chantecaille Spring 2020 Makeup Collection

What better way to welcome Spring than with the Chantecaille Spring 2020 Makeup Collection? Whenever Chantecaille comes up with a makeup collection, I get every excited. I get overly eager not just because of the products but also the brand’s conservation initiatives. How many beauty brands in the market actively give back to the community and the environment on a daily basis? Well, we don’t know but one thing’s for sure: each and every of Chantecaille’s Limited Edition collection (and the Lip Veil collection) supports some animal/plant conservation efforts.

Dior Backstage Eye Palette Amber Neutrals

Eyeshadow is my weakness, undoubtedly. I can never walk out of my house without putting on colours on my eyelids. Ever since the launch of the Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette, I’ve been obsessed with amber/orange hues! My recent purchase from Sephora, the Dior Backstage Eye Palette – Amber Neutrals, got me hooked even more.

With 3 shimmer shades, 4 mattes, and 1 satin finish, the palette has a good range of textures for any makeup look you wish to create.

Bloom with TOM FORD Eye Color Quad – African Violet: Review, Swatches & Makeup Look

TOM FORD Eye Color Quad African Violet

TOM FORD eye quads have been one of my most prized possessions in my makeup collection. I don’t have many – just two – because it’s not easy to captivate my heart especially since I work with so many colours and textures daily. I’ve had <Cocoa Mirage> for a couple of years now and was thinking of adding another quad to my TOM FORD beauty collection but wasn’t very compelled until I met <African Violet>.

<African Violet> consists of four opulent complementing shades for anyone to achieve multiple looks, from a bold, smokey eye, to a sexy slash of colour. The reason why I couldn’t shake this palette off my mind was because of the gorgeous orchid purple shade that stood out! I knew I had to get it after weeks of contemplating.

Sparkle with the Too Faced Pretty Rich Collection: Review, Swatches & Makeup Look

Too Faced Pretty Rich Makeup Collection

“Shine bright like a DIAMOND… We’re beautiful like DIAMONDS in the sky…”

Anyone remembers the song above? I think it’s a no-brainer. Anyway, they say that “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”, but I think that DIAMOND-INSPIRED MAKEUP is even better! Inspired by Creative Director, Jerrod Blandino’s love of diamonds, Too Faced launches its Pretty Rich Collection (finally in Singapore)!

Pretty Rich celebrates Jerrod’s appreciation for the luxurious colour, shine, and glimmer of multi-coloured gemstones. This collection was designed to incorporate a variety of textures, shades and finishes – just like precious stones. Is this a hit or a miss? I think it’s a sparkling YES!
