FOTD 21 January 2009

I like orange, the color not the fruit because it complement my complexion and brightens my face. Orange is my go to color on gloomy days when I feel cheerful enough to greet the world. In addition to my old treasure MAC Electro, I have since discovered new orange lipstick Clinique High Impact in Orange Burst. I have love and have relationship with this brand, all started when the beautiful silver tube turned black ugly after a couple of weeks. Next, the 3-step skin care that didn't work on my oily skin. The turnaround cream that didn't do anything even after my second jar. But then, I love its single eye shadow; it lasts forever, the glosswear, not sticky enough, and the eye kohl, waterproof with a smudger on one end of the pencil. But, after reading Karla Sugar's post on High Impact lipstick, I decided to use my Debenhams gift card from Devita and got me one. 

Here I used my MAC Nuance, Sharkskin shadestick, Groundwork paint pot, Satin Taupe shadow, L'oreal Hip Duo Platinum and Revlon Espresso Yourself eye shadows. To make my lips brighter, I use the gloss part of Red Flame pro lustrewear. 
I'm ready to set the world on fire!

NOTD - oh to be 25 again

I'm trying to make sense of the name of this O.P.I polish as a) back when I was 25, this kind of color was non-existent b) what would brownish red have to do with being 25. Nevertheless, this is a dark non vampish safe for the office color, one which wouldn't get your boss to flip.

Agenda 2009 - Elle Magazine

This new year, I gave up and bought 2 women magazines, something I've almost never done in the past years, unless the magazines were a year old. I read quite fast and I hated to spend money on something I could browse through and finish looking in 1 hour flat.

Last weekend, I bought EVE Indonesian version and I was happy to say that it would be my last buy of the magazine. The content was boring, nothing to ponder at and the fashion and beauty pages were nothing to talk about. I finished the magazine in less that 30 minutes. When even the feature articles didn't strike your fancy, why bother, right?

Today, I bought Elle Magazine, Indonesian version as well. Honestly, I didn't buy the magazine, I got the magazine because I absolutely must have the agenda 2009. It was a hard bound agenda, and it pictures 24 vintage Elle magazine covers on the outside. Very pretty and lemming worthy. I was terribly surprise to like the inside pages as well, it's not over the top, very stylish paper and totally something I'd unashamedly whip out during formal meetings.

I'd go over the magazine later and post my takes on the inside. May this one doesn't disappoint.
