Sophisticated Grunge


Hello me ladies, how are you? I have been doing great. This week I created this look called Sophisticated Grunge using my Sleek i-Divine palette - Bad Girl. Way back during my high school days I had 4 friends we were and still are soulmates - Our little girl group was called Grunge Limited. We were not the very naught bunch of kids we were just the sophisticated type. Here is an update picture of us now.


Sophisticated much me ladies? Indeed we are, but that does not mean we can't look a little grunge when we feel like it. I used to love dark and heavily lined eyes and a good dark purple lips. I used to remember having this pencil/crayon like lipstick in the shade dark burgundy too. Good old days.

So I decided to get a little hippie/punkish/grunge this weekend and kept it a little age appropriate. After all, I am 30! 


I am not certain why some shots are looking different than the others. Anyways, let's get down to the details: 

On my face :

I have primed my face with Nivea Post Shave Balm. Over that I applied a generous amount of Olay moisturizer. Waited for 10 minutes and started correcting, concealing and contouring my face using the Nxy Corrector Palette in the shade deep. I just love the post blending effect that it gives. Added the foundation - Mary Kay Timewise Matte foundation in the shade Bronze 1.

When you correct your face/skin, use a orange/reddish brown colour on your dark area. This will help with the concealer and foundation application. Test out the type of products available in the market, understand which type of product gives you, your desired outcome. I Like working with cream or base product and I prefer then matte. Always remember to pick out products that have a yellow tinge  for foundation and concealer. This my ladies will give you a more vibrant photo outcome, if you have the flash on. If you get products with more pink or white tinge you are going to end up looking all powdery and ghostly on your photos.

Please don't forget to set your face with setting powder. I used Revlon's Nearly Naked Pressed Powder for this look. It gives a flawless finish and a great photo.

On the Eyes:

I am loving everything about Sleek Makeup Eye Shadows. The colours are vibrant and the formula is brilliant. I am just in love with the colour payout. It made my day. 

I added Essence Eyeliner in the shade 25 Feel the Mari-Time (Teal/Turquoise) in the inner corners of my eyes to add a vibrant pop to this look. 

No false lashes this time, just used the Benefits Cosmetics - Mascara - They Are Real. I helps create a good length and and great curl even without curling the lashes. 

On my Lips:

Wet n Wilds Lipstick in the shade Cherry Bomb. No lining this time.

Hope you like this look and do try it. Change out the lip colour to a deep burgundy or purple shade for a more gothic look. Do the things you love, cause no matter what. You can't please everybody and stop them from judging you.

Physical Disability is No Disability of the Mind & Will

Real People, Real Stories; Featuring Khairul  Nizam  the founder of Jamumall Sdn. Bhd. I am delighted, honored and also inspired to write about a soul that doesn't know the meaning of the word "GIVING UP" .  We tend to complain mostly about the things or environment that we are not blessed with. We tend to sideline everything good our creator, parents and many of life's teachings that we are generously given. Often, we overuse our power to procrastinate but never really fully utilize the ability to  express our gratitude for the blessings we have and received in life. I personally do procrastinate, complain and constantly debate that life is not treating me kind. I never actually realized, that I am exactly where I am today of my own doings.  If the doings are of any good, I would be able to live my life to the fullest and struggle would me nothing but a stepping stone to greater success to me. Here is an inspiring story of Mr. Khairul Nizam...

Happier @ Home

As the post's title suggest, I have been home from 22 July 2014 till to date. Is not me enjoying my time off while I take up my new job. I was attacked by a nasty bug that kept me running back and forth from home to clinic and later to the hospital with a nasty high fever. With the fever comes admission, with the admission comes the pricking and extraction of blood to run all possible test to identify the culprit. Guess what all the blood works look clear and praise the lord not malicious virus residing in my system but defiantly  a curse bug that ran me down. I lost 5 kilos people in 2 weeks plus…wait a minute 3 weeks now. Expected isn't it? Fever, low BP, vomiting and diarrhea….and now the body pain is unbearable.  Well  told myself, this cannot go on. I Decided to take the first step coming out of this " I am sick" mode. I started putting some pressure on my back bone, sitting to do my reading rather than lying like a spineless worm. My dear bel...
