Baby Queen Lower Lashes Review - Luminous Change look alike! by cominica

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~(ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ! *slapped 100x. I'm so happy KKcenterhk sent this lower lashes to me for try! Seriously, all lower lashes I got from them are supeeerrr nice! It's not lose with Japanese false lashes I've tried, I'm not saying this because they're my partner. You will know the quality if you try it by your self. Japanese false lashes are quite pricey (¬‿¬) and sometimes just get 2/3 pairs on 1 box. I feel robbed! LOL But this one is really affordable compared to them. The quality is good and nice too so far. This one is a new brand called Baby Queen and it's from Taiwan.｡◕‿◕｡

Now, I'm going to share one of lower lashes I got from kkcenterhk. When the first time I saw the design, I thought it look like one of Luminous change false lashes! That time I was looking for lower false lashes so I remembered it. It look like Luminous Change! by Rumi no #9, Huge Eye.

Oh well, it's not 100% look a like (¬､¬) , because this one is look thinner than the one I got from kkcenterhk.

This lower lashes has a thin and clear strand which I love. I'm happy because this lower lashes is fit my eyes perfectly. I don't need to cut it again, hehehe. Want to see how it look? My eyes change and look huge! Super super loveeeeee~ Too bad this lower lashes is already SOLD OUT REALLY QUICK (」゜ロ゜)」, I hope they'll stock it soon so other people can try it! ^O^

Closer look. How can you not fall in love with this lower lashes? I use Chan Wei false lashes from kkcenterhk for the upper lashes. Check out the review HERE.

Love it??? Btw, I use Lioele eyeshadow on my previous post and Canmake.

This is the whole look, I feel weird because my eyes look so big @___@ hahahhaah

I'm getting better with wink pose now, bahahahahhaha *slapped ┗(｀ー´)┓

Antoinette-Futurette by maryammaquillage

Bonjour mes belles et mes beaus!! It's me, Maryam, reincarnated into a futuristic emo version of Queen Marie-Antoinette inspired by Lime Crime's latest creation: Palette d'Antoinette!! Since this look pretty much speaks for itself; I, without further ado, present to you my concept of the day complete with reviews, tips, and tricks for all you makeup lovers and enthusiasts!

Keep reading!!

Isn't she a beauty?

The Almighty Palette d'Antoinette & Eyeshadow Helper sample by Lime Crime*:

Royal Flush -- pretty pastel pink (matte finish) -- used in the inner corner, lower lash line & in the crease of the eye as a transition shadow
Absinthe-Minded -- light pistachio green (matte finish) -- saved for my next Lime Crime inspiration
Macarooned -- perfect peach (matte finish) -- used as a highlight under the brow
Ribbonesque -- pastel lavender (matte finish) -- used in the outer "v" of the eye and on the eyebrows
Mercurious -- metallic silver (shimmery sparkle finish) -- used on the lid and lower lash line

With colors so wearable and perfect for the summer, I simply couldn't allow myself to go with a pretty makeup look as my first Palette d'Antoinette inspiration. What I love about Lime Crime is that the brand encourages its followers to step outside of the norm and embrace the beauty of individuality and artistry. After all, we're all unicorns on the inside, so why not relinquish it for a day or two?!

To create this untraditional eye look, I applied the colors in the opposite way that I "normally" would... i. e. brighter color in the highlight, paler color in the crease and for the first time ever, I colored my eyebrows. dot... dot... dot...

In the process, I've made a few discoveries... follow along :)))

HOW-TO get COLORFUL eyebrows if you have THICK, DENSE and/or DARK eyebrows:

Start by brushing your eyebrows upward and following the natural growth of the hairs. Take a greasy base like a concealer or NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk (my choice) and apply it heavily all over your brows.
Blend the base into the hair and skin under the brows using your finger. The greasy consistency will help the unruly hairs stick together.
Take a q-tip and clean up the area around your eyebrows, making them uniform and sharp.
Take your eyeshadow of choice (I used Ribbonesque) on a flat shader brush and begin by patting the color onto the sticky base. Fill in any gaps with a smaller brush and extend your brows using the same shadow.

For my two-toned lippies, I used none other than:

Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick in Airborne Unicorn -- medium violet purple (the perfect violet for medium skin) -- used in the outer portion of the lips
Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick in Cosmopop -- buttery pale orange (my favorite color of all timessss; this is officially my go-to lipstick for any and every day) -- used in the inner portion of the lips

Other Products Used:

Face: Dinair custom airbrush makeup
Eyeliner: Clinique cream liner in True Black
Lashes: Korean False Lashes with Beads (don't know the name, brand, nor number, as I unfortunately, don't read Korean. I will upload a photo of the product on to my Facebook page in the next couple of days when I come back home from my trip :)

Mary From the Block by maryammaquillage

Yo yo yo chicas & chicos!!! Today's look is bright, fresh and funky; featuring more of my IMATS goodies and built around one awesomely awesome OCC lip tar. Inspired by Narcissus, a punchy blue-based lavender-pink lip tar, I created a look with blingin' glittah eyez and a long super shiny pony-tail, perfect for any Urban Barbie.

Read more for reviews, pix & deets!

Narcissus Narcissist!

Can you tell that I'm slightly obsessed with OCC Narcissus lip tar? To me, this medium pink-lavender lippie is the perfect pink for medium, tan, and olive skin tones. I personally hate the chalky look of lighter pink lipsticks on darker skin tones (think Nicki Minaj), so I'm always very nervous when picking these tricky shades (which also tend to yellow the appearance of teeth). OCC Narcissus does no such thing. On the contrary, it brightens the teeth and works really well with my coloring (and probably a lot of others). I'm obsessively compulsively obsessed!!

Products!

Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette-- I used three matching eyeshadows as bases for the glitter liners.
NYX Candy Glitter Liner in Jade Green
NYX Candy Glitter Liner in Aqua
NYX Candy Glitter Liner in Lavender
Ardell Runway Lashes in Gisele
Clinique cream liner in True Black
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics lip tar in Narcissus

Other Products (not pictured)

Urban Decay e/s in Naked (crease)
Urban Decay original primer potion
Ben Nye pencil liner in White (waterline)
MAC mineralize blush in Moon River (highlight)

Candy-coated rainbow graffiti glitter eyes!!

*keep in mind, glitter is very hard to photograph, so these pictures don't do justice to the real-life bling factor of these liners :)

GLITTER EYES HOW-TO: This is a popular request, and I'm finally sharing my "secret" :)))

Prime your eyes with primer potion.
Apply three shimmery eyeshadows on top of your lid to create a gradient. I chose the colors to match my NYX glitter liners: Lime Green, Aqua Teal and Lavender Purple. Use patting motions to apply the shadow and short swiping strokes to blend the transitions. For Asian Eyes: apply the shadows slightly above your "crease" or half way to your eyebrow.
Use a matte neutral shade (UD Naked) to define your crease and blend out the edge of the colorful shadows.
Line the top lash line with a black liner to define the eye and provide a base for the false lashes. Optional: extend the inner corner for even more edge.
Apply the glitter liners on top of their respective shadows and layer them on top of one another at the transitions to better blend the colors. Wait at least 30 seconds for the liners to dry (keep your eyes closed if you can).
Line the waterline with a white pencil to help the eyes pop and apply the falsies.

The RESULT: bright, glittery, popping summa-time winkers ;)))

My PONY!!!

This tie-in Pony Tail is longer and bigger-than-life and is the perfect completion to my "Mary from the block" alter-ego. To create this super easy hair style, I gathered the hair below my crown into a ponytail and secured it with a strong elastic. Next, I clipped in the pony-tail extension and tied the ribbons around the base of my ponytail. To hide the ribbons and the transition where my hair meets the extension, I gathered my bangs and the hair on top of my crown, slicked it back and wrapped the ends around the base of the extension. I used bobby pins to secure the hair in place. Voila!

Product: Extra Long Straight Ribbon Ponytail Extension item # D012

Length: 65 cm / 25.5 in (approx. waist length)

Color: 2T33

Price: $14.01

Where to Buy: www.kkcenterhk.com

Verdict: As with most KKcenterHK wigs, this synthetic ponytail extension is great quality and does not shed at all. I particularly love the ribbon attachment and small grip, which makes this piece more versatile than a clip-in ponytail. This extension is great for costumes, but may be a bit too shiny for everyday wear. Although, I would prefer more natural looking extensions for personal use, this piece is not a one trick pony and can be blended with your own hair for a more wearable look. Stay tuned for future posts with tutorials :))

MY FIRST TIME STAMPING!!! by jutmelchior

HI LOVES ♥

It has been a LONG time since I last posted a mani, right? Well, I finally decided to post something, and like I said before, I'm posting a mani from when I first started stamping. I didn't fail per say, but I didn't do great either. But I'll leave you to be the judge...
I first started with two coats of OPI Do You Lilac It? and one coat of Hits Soneca, which is a frosty blue pearl top coat. The I stamped with China Glaze White On White :)
I used KKcenterhk stamping plate m55, the plate costs USD$5.05, I haven't tried any of the other designs, only the one I used for this post. They sent me two plates, and I'll be posting a review post soon:
