Tight Curls and Brown Olive Look Of The Day


A half inch curler was in a bin in my bathroom for over a year without usage. It's not that I didn't like it, it's that I had forgotten that I even owned one. When I sorted through the bin over the weekend I took it out for a spin.

I wanted a gentler version of Taylor Swift's signature curls. The curling iron was left in each strand for about 5 second to prevent from over-curling. I let it cool off and straighten out a little before setting it with some hair spray.


As for makeup I went for a olive/brown toned shadow combo, spiky lashes, subdued cheeks and lips.

What's On My Face:
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base
Guerlain Parure Extreme #2
Dior SkinFlash as highlight
Gerulain Meteorites Powder in Mythic
Benefit Creaseless Cream in Skinny Jeans as a eye-base
Inglot eyeshadow DS502 all over lid and bottom outer corner
Inglot eyeshadow AMC Shine 462 as highlight
Paul & Joe Eyegloss #4 Halo on lower inner corner
Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Black
Coffret D'or loose powder blush OR25
Maybelline Water Volumy Lipstick (asia exclusive) #021 (I love this lipstick!)
Shisem Lashes





It's been a long and cold winter. I layer up a lot and wear a semi puffy vest underneath my jacket. Every time I walk outside I feel like my extremities are going to freeze and break off. In short, I can no wait for spring. What's the weather been like in your part of the world?

XOXO, M

P.S.: Is anyone going to the International Beauty Show (IBS) the weekend after? If so, won't you come say hello? I'll be at the Eve Pearl booth on Saturday (March 5th) :) If you're wondering what the event is like I have some posts on it, see here and here.

  5. You look beautiful!!

    I have to leave my curler in for at least 20 seconds in order for it to look like a curl and not a flip in my hair. Not sure if it's my hair or the curler's problem
