Valentine’s Day 2015 Date Night Makeup: Pictorial

February 13, 2015 2 Comments

Valentine’s Day is TOMORROW! I am so so excited for a lovely day to be spent with my love and friends! It’s going to be a double date, my first time ever on V-Day! Since tomorrow is going to be a celebration of love, what makeup are you going to sport for a sweet date?

Ladies, if you are going out with your boyfriend, I suggest to not go over the top with your eyeshadows. Guys don’t really like makeup on their girlfriends because they simply love the “au naturel” look. However, if you’re like me and wish to doll up and look pretty in pictures, here are my suggested makeup for that girly, romantic eyes! I have used these products to recreate 2 different looks with pictorials below.

The 2 looks might look similar because essentially, the colours used are rather soft and sweet. However, on closer look, you can spot the differences between the pinks and champagnes used.

January 2015 Beauty Favourites: Review

February 3, 2015 No Comments

Wow. January passed by like a breeze! I was still reminiscing my Aussie trips from December last year and now we’re stepping into February already! For the whole of January, I was busy trying to recover and save my skin from the nasty outbreak after I came back from my vacations, hence my focus was primarily on skincare. I think this is also probably the first time I have no eyeshadow palettes in my favourites, with my New Year resolution of trying to rotate and use more of all my makeup.

Without further ado, let’s dig into my January 2015 Beauty Favourites!

Bigger, Blacker, and Bolder with Clio Kill Black Liners: Review & Swatches

January 31, 2015 2 Comments

If you have been a reader of www.paradeoflove.com, or a follower of @paradeoflove, by now, you probably know the categories of makeup I have tons of (eyeshadows because you can never go wrong with a myriad of colours and textures to play with) and those that I stick close to certain brands (eyeliners and mascaras for obvious reasons). If you are new to ParadeOfLove, for mascaras and eyeliners, I have my holy grail products that I constantly go back to, namely YSL and Shu Uemura for mascaras and for eyeliner, just the Maybelline Lasting Pen Gel Liner. I just love them for they work wonders for me.

Being a loyalist to my gel liner, I never understood the need for liquid eyeliners. I know that liquid eyeliners are probably the easiest to start with but for some reason, I disliked them because I can never get them to stay on my lids for a whole day out. With Clio’s latest release, the Kill Black Eyeliners changed my perspective of liquid eyeliners. It’s a big statement to say and you’re probably thinking, “Yeah, she’s saying that because she got sponsored those eyeliners”, but hold that thought till you’ve gone through the entire review, alright?

Just like every girl needs her little black dress, without a doubt, she needs her little black liner too. (Let’s establish the fact that eyeliner makes a whole lot of difference to the eyes, shall we?) So what makes the Clio Kill Black Eyeliners appeal to me?

Get Started with Makeup! (Makeup for Beginners)

January 25, 2015 No Comments

As a beauty blogger, I must say that I didn’t start playing with makeup at a very young age. In fact, my venture into these cosmetic products started when I was around 20-21 years old. When I first started, like any other beginners, I wasn’t very good at it, especially perfecting that flawless winged eyeliner.

After getting the perfect wing, I went into the playful world of eyeshadows. Perhaps it’s because I have that artistic flair, I was pretty good at eyeshadow application for a beginner. I began to get a lot of requests for eyeshadow tutorials and hence, I decided to include a pictorial for a neutral everyday eye makeup at the end of this post!

Well, let’s look into the makeup products you need (in my opinion) if you are just starting out dolling yourself up!

Cover & Smoothen with Etude House’s Stay Up Foundation: Review & Swatches

January 18, 2015 2 Comments

Etude House recently launched a new foundation, the Stay Up Foundation. With the idea of real beauty in mind, the Stay Up Foundation is developed to smoothen the skin’s texture together with a decent coverage and moisturising properties.

With a slightly thicker consistency than most liquid foundations, this foundie seeks to aid in alleviating 3 problems that most ladies face in their skin:

Bumpy skin texture
Redness
Dryness (maybe not so much for people with acne-prone/oily skin)

My shade is in Sand, slightly lighter than my current skin tone due to all that tanning in Australia’s summer weather. I think that this shade will be a good fit for my original medium skin tone.
