Wow, wow, wow! It has been over 1 year + since I last updated this little space of mine! It took me a long time to decide if I should keep this going or not! As much as I still have a passion for beauty, it's no longer on the Top 3 (Maybe just 4:P)<br />
<br />
Anyways, long story short. I have turned Through Beauty Eyes to<b><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://eatthisburnthat.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Eat This Burn That</span></a></span></b> - the one stop destination for busy Gen Y on how to live a healthy and active life amidst all the hustle & bustle of life and make a lifestyle change! Don't worry, there will still be a beauty segment on the blog - so stay tune!<br />

As the title suggests, today’s
post is about products that I have tried and have been reaching out this
winter. </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.physiciansformula.com/en-au/productdetail/face/bb-cc/07867.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><i>Physicians FormulaSuper All-In-1 BB Cream</i> </span></a>(RRP: $25.95)</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
PF claims to be an ultra-blendable and lightweight cream
that effortlessly glides on, instantly infusing moisture, refining skin’s surface
and providing protection from the environment. It also claims to leave your
skin looks and feels smooth, glowing and naturally flawless. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This BB cream provides a pretty light coverage and it is
quite blendable. As for lightweight, it is when compared to your normal
foundation. However, compared to the Face of Australia’s BB Cream (my favourite
before discovering this), the PF BB Cream is slightly greasier which works out fine
in winter as I have pretty dry skin. Not sure if I can say the same in the
hotter days though. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Also, as a plus, this BB Cream comes with SPF 30 Sun
protection (yay for double protection. I always ALWAYS use a separate sun
screen eventhough my foundation/ BB cream comes with SPF protection).<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://au.loccitane.com/candles,23,1,11690,0.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><i>L’occitane Spicy CinnamonScented Candle</i></span></a> (RRP: $28) </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE scented candles! This scent is perfect for a relax
night in or post work out – as the cinnamon scent really helps to ease the mind
and relax. This spicy cinnamon candle + a cup of warm tea (usually Brown Rice
Green Tea) + human burrito in bed = IDEAL night post power yoga class or over the
weekend. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
If you are a not a fan of overwhelming scent, then this is
the choice for you <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>

& Acacia Hand Cream (Limited Edition)</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I have always been a fan of L’occitane Hand Cream (who doesn’t,
really?) but this is probably my favourite scent to date unless they decide to
expand their hand cream collection to include the Neroli & Orchidee scent.
:P</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Since I am not the best in describing scents, I will quote
from L’occitane – “luminous floral union of mimosa and acacia”.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
These are my favourite lip balms at the moment to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ensure my lips steer clear of chapping in
this cold & harsh weather. I keep the Manuka Honey & Shea flavoured one
in my handbag and the Pink Grapefruit & Sweet Fennel flavour on my dresser
(to prep my lips whilst I apply my make up in the morning). If you are not a
fan of lip balm with “tastes”, go for the Manuka Honey & Shea flavour as
they are neutral. </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i><a href="http://www.jurlique.com.au/products/h05/herbal-recovery-eye-cream" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Jurlique HerbalRecovery Eye Cream</span></a> </i>(RRP: $52)</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
According to Jurlique, this eye cream is meant to help
replenish and brighten, minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as
well as improve firmness around the delicate eye area. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I am not sure about improving firmness and minimising fine
lines and wrinkles (as I am pretty sure they still exist after all the
intensive rubbings I have had over the years) but this eye cream is great for
everyday use to keep your eye area hydrated. However, during the days where my
eye lids are going through “draughts”, this eye cream doesn’t quite cut it and
I will have to bring out the big guns – their Herbal Recovery Advanced Eye
Serum.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
(It is only right if we have CC cream after BB Cream right?
:P)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This product comes in 2 shades (light, light/medium) and is
apparently the 1<sup>st</sup> ever 100% natural CC cream (70% Organic). I am
using Light/ Medium which works fine now but I reckon it would be a tad too
light in the warmer months. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
In comparison to the BB Cream, this definitely provides a
much better coverage (medium but definitely buildable). In saying that, I usually
reach out to this product on Fridays or on days where I required a more “flawless”
make up look, ie more coverage. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
If I were to recommend one of the two PF products, I would
definitely go for this. It gives you a natural and almost flawless finish
whilst keeping the hydration of your skin (without feeling greasy), especially in
winter. </div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Jurlique </i>has a new
Calendula range, which I have been trialling for the past four months. These 3
new products are designed to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">calm </b>sensitive
skin, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">restore</b> skin’s epidermal
defences and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">soothe</b> delicate skin. They
contain Calendula extract which helps comfort skin and restore skin’s natural defence.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A little different from the usual rosewater mist, the aroma
of fresh cucumber and chamomile leaves your skin feeling hydrated and
refreshed. I like to start my morning skincare routine with a few sprays of
this mist. </div>

For extra restoration and hydration, this concentrated serum

This Moisturising Cream contains Evening Primrose,
Macadamia, Rose Hip and Avocado Oils, providing optimum hydration and skin
barrier protection benefits. I have been loving this over their standard
moisturising cream and this makes my to-go-to day moisturiser in winter.
However, I opt for EVOHE Intensive Repair as my companion for cold winter
nights as this isn’t “thick” (that’s what she said) enough. :P</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
THIS Intensive Repair is god send during Sydney’s Cold Snap.
Being 100% certified Organic, this cream probably isn’t the best smelling
product I owned. But hey, this is when you know its natural aye? It contains
Rooibos, Calendula, Golden Seal, Green Tea & Gotu Kola which are known for
their anti-inflammatory (say goodbye to tomato face!), anti-bacterial,
anti-fungal and anti-viral properties.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This formula is really creamy and thick, perfect for night
but probably not so during the day (unless I am going through an extremely dry face
mornings!). I have replaced my night routine (Jurlique Calendula Redness Rescue
products – see above) with this single product in the past month. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
PS: Apparently you could combine it with other products to
turn it into foundation. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Being the lazy shit I am, I would prefer to use pre-mixed
products. :P </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
1. After applying my <b>Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer </b>and <b>NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk </b>(this would intensify the bright colours and keep them in place), gently pack on the any vibrant yellow eyeshadow from your collection (I am using<b> Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Hype from the Fundamental palette</b>) across the inner third of your upper lid.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
2. Then, apply a matte brown eyeshadow (mine is from <b>LILY LOLO Mineral Cosmetics</b>) on the outer third of my lid and along my crease and meet the end of my yellow eyeshadow (leaving the centre part of my lid free).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
3. This is probably the hardest step and if you're fairly new with makeup, maybe apply your foundation after you have done the eyes. Apply your blackest eyeshadow (using <b>Black Dog from my Urban Decay Black Palette</b>), creating a "V" at the outer corner of my lid (make sure the "V" is smaller than the area of the matte brown eyeshadow!) and slowly blend them together.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
4. Finally gently pack on the brightest red eyeshadow you have on the centre of lid (I am using <b>I Nuovi Eyeshadow in Siren Red</b> ) and blend all three colours together. Gently. You may need to go back and reapply the yellow & red eyeshadows as they might lose some intensity whilst blending!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
5. I used<b> Benefit Australia's new #BenefitRealLiner </b>on my upper lashline and <b>Milani's Liquif'eye Pencil Eyeliner in Black </b>to line my lower lashline. I then set it with the same <b>Black Dog eyeshadow</b> and to soften to look. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
6. To finish off, apply a few generous coat of your favourite mascara. As always, you have the option to apply falsies to further intensify the look.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. After applying the eyeshadow primer and cream eyeshadow (I used <b>NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk</b>), gently pack on the orange (#1 in photo -<b> NYX Eyeshadow in Africa</b>) across the first 2/3 of your upper lid and 1/3 of the inner corner of your lower lashline. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Then, apply a matte coral red eyeshadow (#2 in photo from my <b>INGLOT freedom palette</b>), creating a "V" at the outer corner of my lid.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. This is where the magic happens, pick up some of the matte peach colour (#3 in photo from my <b>INGLOT freedom palette</b>) using your blending brush and apply it across your crease, blending the orange and matte coral red eyeshadow together to remove all harsh lines. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Using an angled brush and pack on the black eyeshadow, line 2/3 of your lower lashline and wing it out. I reapplied at least 3 times to give a smokier effect, to balance out the bright colours on my upper lid. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. As for the upper lashline, I just tight lined using <b>Milani's Liquif'eye Pencil Eyeliner </b>to make my lash appear fuller. I skipped the liquid liner step as I think it would be a little overkill with the bright lids. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. To finish off, apply a few generous coat of your favourite mascara.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As an alternative, you can always add on falsies to give a more dramatic effect. I think my<b> HG Dolly Wink Volume Mascara </b>does its job pretty well. ;) </div>

So, World Cup fever doesn’t necessarily have to revolve around the actual soccer ball (or football) itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially for us chicas, the FIFA world cup gives us more reasons to rock bright and colourful looks during the tournament.
(Not that we need any reasons to – but as I grow older, I tend to stay on the “safe side” and haven’t been exploring colourful FOTD as much as I used to do.
Is it just me or are there anyone else with me? :P) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So,after a random playtime and experiment last Friday in conjunction with the open ceromony of 2014 Brazil FIFA World Cup, I decided to create this <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>ThroughBeautyEyes 2014 FIFA World Cup Inspired Make Up</b></span></span> series. </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. After priming your eyes with a primer and set the base with a cream eyeshadow (I used <b>NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk</b> and <b>Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Edgy Emerald</b> here), gently pack on the green eyeshadow on the centre of the lid, leaving out the inner and outter corner of your eyes. </div>
<br />
2. Then, apply the dark blue eyeshadow at the outter corner of your eyes, creating a "V" shape and bringing it slightly into your crease.<br />
<br />
3. Next, apply a bright matte yellow eyeshadow (using Illamasqua Hype from the Fundamental Palette) at the inner corner of your eyes, dragging it down to your inner tear duct area/ lower lash line.<br />
<br />
4. BLEND, BLEND & BLEND all three colours together. You may lose some of the intensity of the colours, just go back and pack on more colours and blend it until there are no harsh lines and reached the intensity you are looking for.<br />
<br />
5. Line your upper lash line with either a black or dark blue eyeliner and create a wing.<br />
<br />
6. Then, line 1/3 of your bottom lash line with the same eyeliner and connect it to the wing.<br />
<br />
7. Set the eyeliner with the same blue eyeshadow that you use on your outter V. <br />
<br />
8. Line the middle (1/3) of your lower lash line with the green eyeshadow you used on your eyelid.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish off the look, apply a few generous coats of your favourite mascara (mine is Dolly Wink volume mascara - no surprises here) and to magnify the effect of this look, you may add on some falsies but I wasn't quite up for that. ;) </div>

These are the products that I (re)purchased during my (not so) recent trip back to Malaysia/ Singapore. So, its kinda a combination of fav products AND haul. :P </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">Essential Nuance Airy Hair Mask: </span></b>BEST hair mask ever and it only costs approximately AUD10 a pop! Stumbled upon my first tub whilst I was in Singapore as I left my conditioner at home and fell in love since! I even got a friend who was in Thailand at that time to grab me 2 extra tubs as they don't sell it in Malaysia! I use this hair mask every 2-3 days and it leaves my hair super soft, shiny AND bouncy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have seen them around random Asian cosmetic store in Chinatown but you get grab them from Sasa.Com (free shipping over $75!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">NYX Blush in Mocha:</span> </b>Got this from Sephora, Malaysia (yes they stock up NYX products there!). This was one of the very first products that I have heard a lot about when Youtube tutorials weren't quite a thing yet. This is the perfect neutral shade that gives you a healthy glow. And this is quite pigmented to so a little go a long way! Mocha has been my to-go-to blush all summer! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">Maybelline SO Nude By Colour Sensational Lipstick in NU32S: </span></b>This is the ideal coral shade for everyday wear - just the right amount of colour, pigmentation and shine and not too OTT. I got this in while I was in Malaysia - not sure if they will be available in Australia anytime soon (or ever) though. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner: </span></b>THE eyeliner that gives me the perfect flick/ cat eye in less than 30 seconds, dry almost instantly and long lasting. I have gone through at least 8 of these over the past 2 years. HG status in my books when it comes to liquid eyeliner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">Dolly Wink and Kiss Me Heroine Volume Mascara:</span> </b>Just like the Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner, these 2 mascara has been high on my repurchasing list ever since I started using them. I love them both equally, so I alternate between tubes. They make my Asian lashes looks longer and more luscious. MAJOR LOVE. I have previously raved about the Dolly Wink mascara <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/want-longer-lastingmake-up.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>HERE</b></span></a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">Etude House Vivid Popstick: </span></b>My name is Adeline and I am a lipstick addict. Especially the bright, bold ones. (Heck, even <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/7-reasons-why-i-love-ivy-pool-by.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>wrote a post to talk about my favourite bar with lipsticks</b></span></a> :P) and orange is one of my favourite especially in summer (which is now, sadly, over.)! Not that I need an additional lipstick to my orange family but this lip-stick (see what I did there) is extremely pigmented, matte finish and stays on longer than my Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick, what not to love there??</div>

But HEY, after a 5km swim (and my first olympic pool laps ever) yesterday, I think I have finally accepted that writing is not my calling. I used to enjoy blogging before it became an industry of its own. I used to blog way more frequently where editorial calendar becomes the new diary.
I think somewhere along the way of meeting new people (some of which are the top bloggers in Australia), attending different meet ups and conference, I got carried away and thought blogging was the next path I would like to pursue.<br />
<br />
I know I crave the freedom lifestyle - where I'm my own boss and I get to work on my own terms and see whatever projects I take on grow like a baby.<br />
Blogging to me, is probably the least risky option compared to the other ideas I have in mind.
(From the initial capital outlay to technical knowledge required and human resources required...)<br />
That was probably why I went from a "hobby blogger" to wanting a career from blogging. Or thought I wanted it anyways.<br />
<br />
<br />
Truth to be told, I think I am more of a number nerd.<br />
THERE, I SAID IT.<br />
Playing with data and numbers excites me more than letters or writing beautiful phrases.<br />
#truestory<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong.<br />
I enjoy random musings about beauty (and life in general) but not writing writing.<br />
I enjoy the friendships that formed through blogging/ random IG & twitter stalking<br />
(you know who you are :p)<br />
I enjoy the socializing and networking.<br />
I enjoy the excitement to share when I find a cheap & awesome product or I spotted the new Happy Hour spot in Sydneytown filled with men in suits.<br />
I enjoy these little things but not passionate about them to make it a career.<br />
<br />
So, I am going to stop focusing on my blog "strategies" and stop making writing a chore. I am going to start focusing on what I enjoy doing and continue doing it.
Then perhaps, the updates will be less sporadic :)
<br />

<br />
Health and fitness on the other hand though, is a different story.<br />
It's something I'm passionate about and talk about all the time.<br />
People often wonder how do I go to work, drink & party up yet still hit the gym and meal prep amongst all these.<br />
That's because I love it!<br />
Love it so much so that I created a whole new site to talk about it. (<a href="http://eatthisburnthat.com/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>EatThisBurnThat.Com</b></span></a> is still undergoing identity crisis at the moment but if you wanna find out more on how I went from someone who hates exercise [and bullimic] to someone who loves training, you can check it out <a href="http://eatthisburnthat.com/eat-this-burn-that/my-story-my-journey/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>HERE</b></span></a>)<br />
At the meantime, to get quick tips and updates on all my recipes and meal prep, hop over to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EatThisBurnThat" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>FACEBOOK</b></span></a> & <a href="http://www.instagram.com/EatThisBurnThat" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>INSTAGRAM</b></span></a> & <a href="http://www.twitter.com/EatThisBurnThat" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">TWITTER</span></b></a> :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I apologise that these babies didn't go out before Christmas as I was swamped with work - finalising some year end stuff before heading off on a 3 weeks vacation in KL & SG! Besides swamping my Instagram feed with a tonne of #foodporn I barely went online. </div>

It's that time of the year to be festive and jolly! Quite possibly my favourite time of the year - summer, family & friends, food & wine, holidays, presents... what not to love?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, presents can be a tough one sometimes, especially when the market is OVERLOADED with options. And <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2012_12_01_archive.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>unlike last year</b></span></a>, I am slightly early in helping you with your decisions and not get carried away by the shiny christmas packs. :P Skin Care, Body Care, Candles, Make Up OR Nails, got you all covered. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, to make things a little easier for you girls, I have either "BFF" or/and "Mum" badge on each Christmas pack. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>BFF: </b>it could be for your best friend, sister, cousin... pretty much anyone that you have a pretty good understanding of and is around the same age as you are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

amazing and pigmentation is pretty good for a “gloss balm” – not overly sheer
as I am not a fan of sheer colour balm. Definitely a summer handbag essential,
me thinks. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With the curve design making flicking achievable, even for
amateurs, this is my second favourite eyeliner after my HG Dolly Wink Liquid
Liner (which is irreplaceable at the moment). I bought this when I ran out of
my Dolly Wink Liquid Liner and was pretty impressed with it. Easy to control,
dark and pigmented ( don’t you just hate those liquid liner which aren’t and
appears like a grey line when applied?) and the ultra thin brush means that you
could control the thickness of your line when applying. Bingo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To repurchase or not, considering that I still have a backup
of my Dolly Wink Liquid Liner? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I was lucky enough to attend the launch of <b><span style="color: purple;">"The Season" by Laurent-Perrier </span></b>at the start of November and needless to say, french bubbly and oyster is a pretty sweet combination on a Tuesday night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you who wonders who and where The Langham is - they are located on the border of the historic Rocks district, replacing the Observatory Hotel. In the month of November, The Langham came together with Laurent-Perrier and brings you a celebration of champagne and spring flora - <a href="http://sydney.langhamhotels.com.au/restaurants/the-season.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>"The Season"</b></span></a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Located at the border of The Rocks means you get to avoid the hustle and bustle of CBD, making it a perfect spot for a weekend "getaway" or "StayCation" (as I like to put it).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The Langham spells elegance, sophistication and luxurious, definitely the place to spoil and pamper someone if you are looking to treat yourself and your loved ones.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Tiffin Afternoon Tea</span></b> featuring bite size gougeres, chocolate fudge cupcakes with rose petal buttercream and hazelnut & Salted caramel Dacquoise. And here come the best part - receive complimentary upgrade to a glass of Laurent - Perrier Vintage when you order a Champagne Tiffin Afternoon Tea. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Served daily, prices from $64</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Champagne and Oysters </span></b>consisting of a trio of Sydney Rock oysters, served with a champagne vinegar mignonette and a glass of Laurent - Perrier Brut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Served daily, for only $25.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Champagne Dinner </span></b>- 5 course degustation with matching champagne in Galileo Restaurant</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only on 27 November 2013, RRP $150</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you gotta pick a treat out of the three, I would personally go for the Champagne and Oysters special if you are a huge oysters fan. Promise you wouldn't be disappointed for $25 a pop! Probably wouldn't mind the Tiffin Afternoon Tea with the girlfriends either, especially with the complimentary upgrade to a glass of Laurent - Perrier Vintage. Any "complimentary upgrade" is always music to my ears especially when it involves French vintage champagne. Don't cha agree?</div>

What started of as a hobby and love for beauty products has <i>somehow developed into a brand</i>, whilst not quite intentionally. Don't get me wrong, I am no where near as many twitter followers as the newest Big Brother housemates nor am I gaining VIP passes to international fashion shows to share the front row view with my 888k Instagram followers. But hey, I do have a few people that listen to shit I post on the World Wide Web and double tap the #foodporn or #fitspo I post on Instagram. </div>

I think the main reason the rebranding didn't end up happening (or kept being pushed behind) is I got lost somewhere along the way of what "brand" do I want to portray to the public eyes. I try to recreate a brand that "fits" into a certain structure because apparently that's how you make money. Also, I subconsciously make "beauty products" the core of my brand and try to fit everything else around it as that was how this blog started. However, as I grow older (and I'd like to think slightly wiser), my undivided attention for beauty products has beens slightly deviated over the past few years. No, my love for bright, bold lipsticks still remains but my attention is now cheating with a whole lot of other things too. <i><strike>What a wh0rebag my attention can be. ;P </strike></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a result, I stopped writing/ ranting regularly because it became quite a chore to keep up with a regular posting schedule focusing on a single topic. Writing was never my forte (I am more of a number nerd) and I can probably never master the art of writing. Hence, 99% of my posts were written like how I would speak in real life. (I think if I would ever need to podcast my posts, I could just read the entire post out without needing a script. #justsayin :P)</div>

ANYHOOS, I <i>digress</i>. </div>

Point is - rather than trying to craft a "blog business model" and focusing on ONE topic, I am going to just </div>

No, I have not all zen-ed out and decide to turn this into a coaching blog. A glass of green power smoothie and a few cacao balls ain't gonna make my life beautiful. I am still superficial and like pretty things. Don't worry, there will still be a lot of features on beauty products especially good & cheap buys (who doesn't like a cheap and quality purchase. It almost feels like winning the lottery. Kinda.) and lotsa lipsticks (Well, because my name is Adeline and I have lipsticks addiction). </div>

On top of the ones mentioned above, "beauty" in "ThroughBeautyEyes" now encompasses a whole lot of other stuff - anything that makes life beautiful (<i><b>how cliche of me</b>.</i> HA). In another words, it can be my favourite pub/ bars with awesome happy hour cheap drinks (trust that to be first on the list), "elevator selfie" #ootd (because I do not have a photographer boyfriend to take model shots of me), cosy little cafes around Sydney, social media related (because social media involves more than double tapping and swipping right :P) and even as far as anything data-related (my new discovery which I find somewhat fascinating). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And no, I did not miss out on health and fitness. Fitness is such a huge part of my life that I dedicate an entire website to talk about it. <i>Have I mentioned I talk alot? </i>IF health & fitness is something thats up your alley, head over to <a href="http://www.eatthisburnthat.com/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>www.EatThisBurnThat.com</b></span></a> and <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/EatThisBurnThat"><span style="color: orange;">www.Facebook.com/EatThisBurnThat</span></a></b> for further updates which are mostly #fitspo #gymtime & #healthyfoodporn related. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is going to be slow transformation as I will be testing different waters and expanding my "horizons". And this time, instead on focusing on coming up with an entire new layout/ logo and "brand name", I will start with the content first and slowly mold it and shape it to the desired brand I want. I am not going to lie - I can't promise that this will be updated 5 times a week but I will try my very best. For more frequent (and less wordy) updates, be sure to follow me on:</div>

<b>Violet Rays</b> made smokey eyes a whole lot more wearable - I have been wearing this smokey eyes till the past 2 weeks or so ever since I have mastered my "perfect" day smokey eyes. Simply apply Violet Rays all over your lids and apply a matte brown/ coffee eyeshadow to the outer corner of your lids and halfway through your crease to blend the harsh lines out. VOILA - smokey eyes in less than 5 minutes.<br />

<b>Bronze Sphinx</b> is my new to-go-to colour as the weather gets warmer. I don't know about you but I try to keep my make up to the bare minimum (as possible) during the warmer months. On the good days, I go completely sans eyeshadow. However, when I feel the need to have some colours on my eyelids, this is the baby to go to. I either wear it on its own, or add some dark brown eyeshadow to the outer corner of my lids & halfway through my crease for a more defined look. Another winner in my books.<br />

<h2>
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">Neutrogena Beach Defence Water & Barrier Lotion and Spray SPF 50</span></b></h2>
<br />
<div class="p1">
This new sunscreen range from Neutrogena is god sent for summer - especially with the scorching one we're expecting! Whilst I'm a HUGE fan of tanning, I am a massive sun screen freaks too. Can't really turn a blind eye when you have Skin Cancer ads poppin up left, right, centre! (Good work, NSW gov on your skin cancer campaign!)</div>

<b>Neutrogena Beach Defence Water & Barrier Lotion</b> - This is definitely my beach essential this summer - 4 hour after resistant, rich but non sticky & smells good. Need I say more? </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<b>Neutrogena Beach Defence Water & Barrier Spray</b> - Personally, I think slathering sunscreen on a daily basis takes too much effort especially in the morning. PLUS, it feels wrong putting on work clothes after applying sunscreen. No? This sunscreen spray is made for lazy bums like me and it's SO convenient. I spray on before I leave for work and even have a can on my desk at work for some "touch up" if I decide to get some Vitamin D at Hyde Park during my lunch break. Convenience at its best and I can tan without guilt! </div>
<br />
<br />
Just in case you haven't already picked it up, I am quite lazy and anything that saves me time gets extra brownie points :P<br />

Spring & summertime calls for au naturale make up. The last thing you want is having your cakeface melting under the 30 degrees weather. Whilst I still use heavier coverage foundation for night outs and events, I try to keep it simple during my day-to-day routine and this BB cream has been a recent favourite for me.<br />
<br />
Like most BB creams do, it provides pretty sheer coverage. However, you are able to build it up slightly by applying a second layer. <i>(This is kinda defeating the purpose of avoiding cakeface, right?) </i>At less than $15 a pop, this will be one of my summer go-tos. The only drawback about this BB cream is it does not have any SPFs so PLEASE remember to apply sunscreen prior to applying this!<br />

As someone who loves florals and fruity scent, this is another winner from the Marc Jacobs fragrance collection. It's less floral-y than Daisy & not as sweet as Dots - perfect summer day scent. </div>

For those of you who don't know, my hair has been chemically strengtened (Japanese straightening) for the past 12 years (holy shit, it's almost a decade!). Ain't no normal curler is gonna make my curls stay! So, when I got the chance to try this out, I jumped right straight into it! Coming in 3 different sized wands and 3 adjustable temperature (perfect for those with finer hair and don't want to kill your hair under high temperature), seems like a great deal to me. I have only used the large barrel so far as I have fairly thick hair but it creates long-lasting curls for me that holds throughout the day! SOLD.<br />

Who doesn't appreciate a marketing campaign that gives back to the customers? Rather than splurging a gazilion bucks shooting a commercial and funding10 new Hermes bags to <insert celebrity="" famous="" name=""> collection?</insert></div>

<i>"What are your plans this weekend?"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Gold Coast babyyy!"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Lucky you - gonna have a massive one aye"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Nar, I am heading there for a conference so I gotta behave on Friday"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Uttering the word "conference" just made me feel intelligent and important already. HA. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been to a few blogging/sponsored/free conferences over the past couple of years (<a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/abbw-2011-imats-haul-feat-illamasqua.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">ABBW in 2011</span></b></a>, <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/bbu12-beauty-bloggers-utopia-2012-day.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Beauty Blogger Utopia in 2012</span></b></a>, <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/the-entourage-young-entrepreneurs.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>The Entourage Young Entrepreneurs Unconvention this year</b></span></a>) but this would be my first <b>paid</b> conference I am attending (out of my own pocket unfortunately) in the past 24 years in my life. Can't blame for being so excited yet nervous at the same time, can you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And since creating list is like totes, <i>the </i>thing right now, I am gonna have a ProBlogger2013 checklist for the <i>*cough*</i> important <i>*cough*</i> stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(What I pack in my travel/ make up bag deserves a post on its own :P) </div>

<br />
1. Me, myself and <b>I</b>. By I, I meant my<b> iPhone</b> and<b> iPad Mini</b>. What's a social media/ blogging conference without the new media devices? Still debating if I am going to lug my MacBook Pro with me as I reckon my mini would do but I like being equipped. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. <b>Chargers</b>. The devices mentioned above serve no purpose without your trusty charger. I will be bringing both my wall charger and portable charger aka power bank (seriously, BEST. INVENTION. EVER. if you're a social media junkie like myself). I swear my hand drains my phone battery simply by holding it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. <b>A <i><strike>pretty</strike></i> Notebook. </b>As much as I am married to my iPhone and iPad, I still enjoy writing on a good ol' notebook especially when it comes to making goals and lists. With colourful pens, may I add. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
4. <b>Business cards.</b> The last thing you want is having to write down your contact details and all your social media platform for every blog crush/ potential collaborator you meet. It takes time and not cool. I had my ThroughBeautyEye cards all ready to go and having my <b><a href="http://www.eatthisburnthat.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">EatThisBurnThat</span></a> </b>ones printed tomorrow! (Thumbs up for being so last minute. :P)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <b>A checklist & schedule. </b>To ensure that you're making the most out of PB, make a checklist of<b> goals</b> (ie, what are you expecting/ the outcomes from this conference), <b>people you want to meet</b> (hello, twitter pal!) and most importantly <b>the sessions you want to attend</b>. As there will be multiple sessions happening concurrently, its important to pick the ones that are most aligned to your blog goals/ direction. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. <b>Plan your outfits. </b> If you're not from Brisbane like myself, nothing is worst than an outfit crisis. So, make sure you have your outfits planned (and always bring an extra "emergency"outfit or two.<i> just in case...</i>) especially for the Friday networking night. Apparently, Hilton Surfer Paradise and bubbly are involved. :P</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. <b>Mint.</b> Pleasant breath in a networking event is mandatory. Nuff said. Do you want to be known as "that chick/ guy with the garlic breath"? I guess not.<br />

</tbody></table>
<b><br /></b>
<b>BONUS:</b> Sunnies, sun screen and after sun care because what is a trip to Surfer Paradise without these necessities?<br />
<br />
These are the important stuff - I will have a sequel post on my travel/ carry on bag! Yes, no prizes for those who guessed that I will be lugging <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/want-longer-lastingmake-up.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>all these products</b></span> </a>with me <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/want-longer-lastingmake-up.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">to make sure my make up is oh-so-long-lasting</span></b></a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
ONE more sleep to Gold Coast and TWO MORE SLEEPS to Pro Blogger, I am pretty stoked. Can't wait to meet a few of my social media-pals, catching up with bloggers, and most importantly learn, learn and learn more about blogging!<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're gonna be there this weekend, don't forget to say hi!<br />
I promise, I don't smell. :P<br />

And no, we ain't talking about sex here today. :P) </div><div class="p2" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">I have my fair share of events to attend in my duo life as a beauty blogger. It's great if its in the morning because I will have a fresh face of make up (although getting out of bed would have been a mission). However, most of them are usually held after work.Not that I'm complaining because its pretty sweet to wind down a busy day after work with a glass (or a few) whilst playing with new beauty products. See, I'm quite a lazy person - touching up an entire face of make up after a long day is quite a chore and I try to avoid it as much as I could. </div><div class="p2" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">THANK GOD after playing and trialling a million and one different products, I have came up with my long-lasting day make up and doesn't take more than 5 minutes to touch up (or 10 if I decide to slap some falsies on!) which involves cleaning up my undereye with a concealer and further intensify my eyeliner (and maybe reapply the blushes depending on the blush I'm using that day). And of course, finishing up with my trusty setting powder and apply the power lipstick of the day. </div><div class="p2" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitXnZLnxr_qtpaYMwOQKVSd74KGfZ_Je2kdhMPdsASCr9ripdg60YEDngZz7cl7_TMoi9krho8O8_maT6TBUKTdaGxolZd0X34hEFHkgxAsJmJWswa0dYtym5cSZDtkAfE8DKDuzgPKC1C/s1600/photo+1-3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitXnZLnxr_qtpaYMwOQKVSd74KGfZ_Je2kdhMPdsASCr9ripdg60YEDngZz7cl7_TMoi9krho8O8_maT6TBUKTdaGxolZd0X34hEFHkgxAsJmJWswa0dYtym5cSZDtkAfE8DKDuzgPKC1C/s1600/photo+1-3.JPG" /></a></div><div class="p2" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Without further ado, let's get to these products! </div><div class="p2" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">The main and "core" products that keep my face from melting away - also what I called the </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b>"skeleton" products:</b></span> </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Face Primer: <b>Dermalogica Age Smart Skin Perfect Primer SPF 30*</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">I have never really been a huge fan of face primer as I tend to have really dry skin and most of the time, I am ok with almost flawless foundation routine with my freckles still feasible. HOWEVER, my life changed when I discovered this baby! It's velvety texture glides on my face like silk to form the perfect canvas base for my foundation application. This primer is pretty pigmented with a neutral, colour correcting tint that evens out my skin tone. So, my dears, a little does go a long way here. </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Foundation: <b>Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation (#11)</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Always go back to this baby if I want that flawless, porceleine finish. #11 is my perfect match for foundation and doesn't leave me looking like Snow "White". This foundation provides full coverage with a natural matte finish (yes this is possible!) and it lasts forever!! By forever, I meant all day, all night. </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">However, I might take a step back on this foundation as the temperature rises as I find it a little too heavy in the warmer months. And, <i>it's all about the freckles in summer, right</i>?</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Concealer: <b>Borjois Healthy Mix Concealer in Apricot</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">If you have been reading Through Beauty Eyes, you would have known I<a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/love-list-5-beauty-edition.html" target="_blank"> <b><span style="color: orange;">am a HUGE fan of Benefit Fake Up concealer</span></b></a> (especially after a night of shenanigans! <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/4-tips-tricks-plus-extras-to-hide-your.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>I gave you some tips on how to hide your "I am so effing hungover" face HERE</b></span></a>.). As the coverage of the Skin Base Foundation is pretty solid, I rarely find myself requiring heaving concealing. A tiny pea size of this concealer is enough to cover any remaining dark circles I have and around my nose and it blends with my Skin Base foundation pretty awesomely, just like a dream. </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Setting Powder: <b>MAC Mineralized Skin Finish (Medium)</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">BEST setting powder ever and I am onto my second one already. I set it after applying my foundation and concealer and set it again after my blush and contouring routine. No, I do not look like a cakeface and this is why I love MSF! </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">This is my "perfect" face routine at the moment as most of the time, I find myself needing to touch up my face make up by the end of the day before any night events. Not with this golden combination however. The most I would do is just to mattify my face a little with MAC Mineralized Skin Finish (if I am not too lazy, that is :P)</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Eye Primer: <b>Urban Decay Primer Potion</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">I don't think I need further explanation on this, do I?</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Eyebrow: <b>Face of Australia Eyebrow Kit*</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Cheap cheap, create that ideal brows that last all day - what more can you ask for from an eyebrow kit? And to support your local brand! </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Eyeliner: <b>Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">This has been my HG eyeliner over the past 1.5 years and I am probably on my 6th or 7th one now. Perfect felt tip that makes it easy to create that gorgeous cat winged eye and most importantly, it doesn't crease! Did I mention it has now been repackaged and the tube is pink? (Not that it's an important factor, but pink is always brownies point :P)</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">It is available on Sasa.Com but I usually stock mine up when I am over in Asia.</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Eyeliner: <b>Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eyeliner in Black</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Another HG Eyeliner pencil which I have been using for years and repurchased countless times. Did a detailed review and swatches almost THREE years ago <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2010/10/review-milani-liquifeye-metallic.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">HERE</span></b></a> - yeap have been a loyal fan since then. If you are looking for an affordable, pigmented and crease prove pencil eyeliner, you might have just found <i>the one</i>. </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Mascara: <b>Dolly Wink Volume Mascara (Purple Tube)</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">HG Mascara, nuff said. Just like the Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner, I have been going through tubes after tubes over the past 2 years. This works amazingly well on my Asian lashes and give me half decent curls that holds and volume. In fact, this puts me off falsies for the past 2 years as I am pretty damn satisfied with applying it on its own, until I discovered Katy Perry's KAPOW falsies of course. </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">As for my eyes, I go with either the neutral taupe/gold smokey eyes (when I am wearing bright, bold lippies) or purple-grey smokey eyes (for days when I prefer the subtle lip colours over loud ones)</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Creme Eyeshadow: <b>Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad To The Bronze & Bold Gold</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">I LOVE these little pot of awesomeness - works well on its own for a quick over the lid colour or perfect as a base to hold your eyeshadow even better. This + UDPP = killer combination to ensure your eyeshadow stays! </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Eyeshadow: <b>INGLOT Freedom Palette (AMC Shine #34, Matte 378 & Pearl 422</b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">After rediscovering my INGLOT palette which I conveniently ignored not long after purchasing them two years ago, I was reminded how great these eyeshadows are!

</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">Creme Eyeshadow: <b>Chanel Illusion D'Ombre in Illusoire </b></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">This is my favourite purple-grey-ish (forgive me for the lack of better word) colour and like the Maybelline Color Tattoo, it works perfectly well as a base or on its own. Except, this costs you a few extra plates of dumprings money. :P </div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the "privileges" (that many consider) as a beauty blogger is the vast range of products samples that were gifted to us for trial purposes. Or misfortune, when a certain products do not work towards your favour. I am pretty lucky in that aspect - have not had a crazy breakout or reaction throughout my years as a guinea pig!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I will be sharing a few of my favourites in which I had personally tried and tested. Just so you know, there is a lonely corner in my bedroom which accommodates unused press samples (some of which are still in the goodie bag). In another words, I am selective and do pick products that best suit my skin/ preference and also for the blog. The fact that they are gifted has absolutely zero influence on my opinion. </div>

This is a more intense, deluxe edition of Jurlique's best selling risewater balancing mist - with all proceeds going directly to Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience to support Indigenous Youth. This Limited Edition Rosewater Balancing Mist has a stronger rose scent which is not surprising at all as it contains 10,000 rose petals. Nothing better than a few spritz of this baby in the morning before applying anything on my face for a little wake-me-up. Deluxe also means it comes in a 200mL bottle.</div>

Prior to the discover of these incredible falsies, I have almost retired from the falsies scene. Rocking Friday night after work drinks with some killer lashes just seem a little overkill. However, I have been spending an extra 5-10 minutes (at the expense of my drinking time - which BTW, is very important on a Friday arvo) after work to apply these lashes every since I got them from their launch party. </div>

It feels so comfy (non of those thick band bullshit), natural looking yet enhance my asian almond eyes and did I mention there's a hint of purple too? I don't know about you, unless I am walking down the runway or attending some kinda costume party, anything purple on my lashes is a big no no! But the subtlety of this purple, is just perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

On a side note, a huge thank you to the Eylure team for sending me a replacement KA-POW when they found out I have misplaced mine during one of my many Friday shenanigans.

See, I have this love hate relationship with anything coconut flavoured. I love coconut but most often than not, the scent of coconut flavoured products are just way too overwhelming that it makes me sick. This Body Creme however, has just the right degree of coconut scent. BINGO. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil? Moisturizing factor - TICK. The fact that it's organic? Don't really care. </div>

This is my to-go-to product when my skin goes completely havoc. I tend to avoid scented products when my skin gets extremely dehydrated and is borderline scaling to avoid. This moisturiser works wonders! On my better days, I mix this up with my other scented body butter to "omph" up the moisture & smell good! #winning Now that my coconut creme has hit tub, this has became my go to body moisturiser! </div>

After a somewhat long love affair with my <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/love-list-5-beauty-edition.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Illamasqua blush in Ambition</span></b></a>, I believe its time to give other blushes a chance. The Shu Uemura Powder Blush in Soft Pink caught my attention amidst all other product in my lonely stash. I can't believe I didn't use them any sooner! (I believe they were sent to me at the beginning of this year!). This baby pink is the perfect cool tone for winter and it goes extremely well with my smokey eyes! As for the highlighter, it really accentuates my non-existent cheek bones and give my face and instant lift! </div>

Every girl needs a chapstick, especially in winter. Nuff said. I am digging the night repair one at the moment, slap it on before bed and wake up with a smooth & moisturised lips the next morning! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That pretty much sums up the recent products that I have been trying and loving! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wonder if there's actual correlation between winter and the number of moisturizing products posts. As you can tell, I haven't been that "adventurous when it comes to make up products besides lipsticks. It's all about getting moist, darling! #ThatsWhatSheSaid</div>

Sometimes, the life of a beauty blogger can be tough, especially when you have a full time job and gym commitment (Yes, working out is part of my full time job too :P)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not sure if I am <i>actually</i> being sarcastic there because truth to be told, I quite enjoy the events and launches (can be found on <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Social%20Diary" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Through Beauty Eyes Social Diaries</b></span></a> ). I mean, what's not to love when you get to check out and play with new products, catch up with the lovely bloggers over a glass (or perhaps a few) bubbles or vino and meeting new peeps?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">[My latest wrap up of the recent events around Sydney can be found <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/through-beauty-eyes-social-diaries-3.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>HERE</b></span></a>. ]</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst I do enjoy attending these social events - let's be real here, I am turning into an old hag and ain't 21 anymore. AND, rocking up to an event looking like Amanda Bynes isn't an option either. <br />
<br />
THANK GOD for my fav HG products and a few tips and tricks that prevent that from happening - which I will be sharing with you girls today!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">1. HYDRATE the f*ck out of your skin</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a no brainer that alcohol sucks up every possible drip of H20 in your body - especially when you go a little overboard with them wine. (It's rude to say no when the waitresses kept coming back for a top up :P) Apart from skulling heaps of water and coconut water (this stuff works WONDERS when you're feeling the aftermath of wine), don't forget to give your skin some extra hydration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
My recommendation: <b><span style="color: magenta;">Hada Labo Moisturising Serum</span></b><br />
<br />
I love this serum - one of my must-purchase items every time I am back in Asia for holidays. Its texture is in between a cleanser and serum, which feels extremely hydrating on the skin. I apply this before applying my moisturiser - an instant hydration boost to the skin! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">2. Use an eye "cooler" to reduce puffiness of the eyes and cover it up with hydrating concealer</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidmEsOLW6PFs2EwDwNVNjjIZYdpDvcd5RWSh7emLKQRK-vqOMTlLY7uq6h0WtPMjh133A3Rc-gC7RLTQD69ugYe6vQd8T5pb5UXoOlSWTy9oFGN4MBdmG_iPm9zZn5shNvwskfA6BrL0Vj/s1600/Recently+Updated13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidmEsOLW6PFs2EwDwNVNjjIZYdpDvcd5RWSh7emLKQRK-vqOMTlLY7uq6h0WtPMjh133A3Rc-gC7RLTQD69ugYe6vQd8T5pb5UXoOlSWTy9oFGN4MBdmG_iPm9zZn5shNvwskfA6BrL0Vj/s640/Recently+Updated13.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My recommendation: <b><span style="color: magenta;">Benefit #FakeUP Concealer*</span></b> and <b><span style="color: magenta;">Make Up Store Moisturising Eye Roll-On*</span></b><br />
<br />
The Eye Roll-On has a cooling effect and reduces the puffiness under your eyes. Perfecto! The last thing you want is bringing out your eye bags with the wrong concealer and adding that extra "lines" cos your under eye is so dry! Benefit #FakeUp Concealer is life-changing and has been my to-go-to concealer most days, especially after a big night out. I have raved about it on my <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/love-list-5-beauty-edition.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Love List 5 - Beauty Edition</span></b></a> post.</div>

My pick:<b><span style="color: magenta;"> Illamasqua Supernatural Gleam Cream</span></b><br />
<br />
This bronze "illuminator" is a little different from your usual pearly/ white highlighter. It's a coppery-bronze highlight with "iridescent pearlescent pigments", which can be used alone or with foundation. I usually apply it on the apples of my cheeks (and apply my blush of day on top), cheek bones and nose bridge for that coppery glow. Perfect for giving your look a warm lift! </div>

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">A little advice from the Editor: </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't forget to take some time off the social scenes and pamper yourself. Be it a facial (if you have extra cash to splurge) or "mask time" at home or a massage. <br />
Invest in scented candles, a good magazine and enjoy it with a cuppa tea in bed.<br />
Don't #FOMO 24/7!<br />

I pamper myself with a mask session once every 2-3 weeks (I know I should be doing it weekly but did I mention I am <i>kinda</i> lazy? :P) and have been loving Dermalogica Hydrating Masque!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Renegade Collective is the love child of Lisa Messanger - which focuses on inspirations and entrepreneurship. So, I am quite a sucker for glossy covers and pretty magazines and more often than not, I always end up purchasing magazines with mediocre content. Renegade Collective is the <b>first </b>and <b>only</b> magazine that I actually look forward to the next issue before finishing the final page of the current issue.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Lean start up, successful entrepreneur stories, strategies, inspiration</i>.... all in one magazine.<br />
<br />
Whilst the price is a little on the steep side (retailing at$12.95) compared to most magazine, its well worth every penny of yours. And not to mention, a highly engaging community too where Lisa actually replies to your Tweet and Instagram messages! </div>

<b><span style="color: magenta;">DMK Enzyme Facial @ The Laser Lounge</span></b>*<br />
<br />
Enzyme facial is designed to remove dead protein, toxins and other effluvia from the epidermis using a process called 'reverse osmosis'. The enzymes aim to strengthen the structural integrity of the skin, exercises facial muscles and works to leave the skin feeling firm.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
(My apologies for the unedited, gross photo - but that's how it looks like when the enzymes "harden up")<br />
<br />
This reminds me of homemade egg mask, except better. It does feel a little uncomfortable when the enzyme "hardens up" (as pictured above) but it felt like I was given a set of new skin after removing all my dead skin. I was fortunate enough to be given a complimentary treatment by The Laser Lounge a while ago - but it seems about time to book in my next "relaxing" sesh soon?<br />

<b><i>I couldn't agree more. </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sure most (if not everyone) of us have had our fair share of bad experience when it comes to hair, be it a bad hair cut or a bad colour or bad colour <i>and</i> hair cut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's one of the reasons why I have been going to the same hairdresser for the past five years. And, the only time I get my hair cut is when I have my hair Japanese straightened during my annual visit to Malaysia. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said, you can't quite blame me when I was a little skeptical when John Azzi himself <i><strike>insisted </strike></i>offered to give me a hair cut post my keratin treatment on a faithful Thursday, especially when I just had my hair cut a month prior. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(One of the perks? of being a beauty blogger is you <i><strike>are the guinea pig</strike></i> get the opportunity to experience various beauty treatments. This keratin treatment + hair cut was generously offered by <a href="http://www.groupon.com.au/?CID=AU_SOM_3_4_0300_001" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Groupon</span></b></a> Thanks <a href="http://www.groupon.com.au/?CID=AU_SOM_3_4_0300_001" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Groupon</span></b></a>!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I am glad I did as I may have found THE hairdresser! You would have probably seen me raved about it on <a href="http://www%2Cinstagram.com/ThroughBeautyEyes" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Instagram</span></b></a> & <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ThruBeautyEyes" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Twitter </b></span></a>and might have taken a few more *cough* selfies *cough* than usual post my hair cut. </div>

In fact, I had to reject that glass of white a few times as I could still taste the Chandon I consumed during <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/through-beauty-eyes-social-diaries-3.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Crane Bar opening</span></b></a> the night before. </div>

POST Keratin Treatment & new hurrrcut = a happy Adeline! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keratin Treatment is definitely my frizz-fighting option going forward. Having my hair rebonded (also known as Japanese straightening) for the past decade (YEAPS, it has been an annual routine over the past 10 years) has damaged my hair. Bad. Real Bad. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My hair was extremely smooth and silky after the keratin treatment, without the putrid chemical smell you get with Japanese straightening. However, I can't quite comment if it is as effective as Japanese straightening in terms of fighting frizz and straightening effect as I have just had my hair rebonded a month ago. It definitely is less damaging than your traditional Japanese Straightening.</div>

My hair has way more "shape" and less thick after the hair cut, especially the fringe! It makes styling way easier, with a spritz of Sea Salt Spray or two! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really happy with the results and would definitely head back for Keratin Treatment and hair cut again! We all know how costly hair treatment/ hair care can be - and thank god for websites like <a href="http://www.groupon.com.au/?CID=AU_SOM_3_4_0300_001" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Groupon</span></b></a>, you are usually able to grab some <b>good treatment bargains at a fraction of it's original cost</b>!

We were introduced to the brand new <a href="http://shop.racinne.com.au/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>RACINNE</b></span></a> skincare range that was recently launched in Australia. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seven years of dedicated research later, this Canadian brand with world-leading Korean formula released two new ranges - The Ultimate Aqua Blanc Series (for women 30+) and The Ultimate Hydra Perfection Series (for women of all ages). These new ranges boast an advanced biotechnology formula, known as "Callus Cultivation Technology" providing nourishment, hydration and protection to skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"The new ranges penetrate to the deepest layers of skin improving dull, dehydrated and aged skin, which is a common side effect of a natural climate such as in Australia" </i>(BDM of Racinne International)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am pretty excited to include these new babies into my winter skincare routine especially my skin is "well known" for being exceptionally dry during the colder days. Did I mention that they are pretty reasonably priced too? They are now available online at <a href="http://www.racinne.com.au%20/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>www.racinne.com.au </b></span></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">In all seriousness though - it's a really good place to catch up with friends or colleagues over a few drinks as it isn't too loud and noisy.

After a few drinks, head down to the Change Room to shake ya tail feather before catching the last train home across the street! That's how my typical Friday sounds like. :P</span></div>

It reminds me a lot of Revlon's Lip Butter in Trutti Frutti (reviewed <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/friday-favourites-lippies-quick-review.html">HERE</a>). The best thing is? It's only $11.99 a pop. Gotta love me some good cheapie lippie! </span></span></div>

<div style="orphans: 2; text-align: center; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Benefit FAKE UP Concealer</b> - You might have came across this product on Through Beauty Eyes from my Social Diaries #2 updates (Remember the topless butler? Yes, THAT) I finally get around to trying this and my FAKE UP cherry was popped after a long haul flight. Needless to say, I was hooked since then and FAKE UP has definitely made its way to claim the HG concealer spot. LATERS, dry undereyes! However, if you're looking for a full coverage concealer - this might not be the man (or lady) for you as the formula is pretty sheer (due to its moisturising nature I suppose). I do get the desirable concealing I am looking for by applying a couple of layers. Make sure you try it out at your nearest Benefit counter before doing any purchase! A quick tip I learnt from the #FakeUpevent is<u> to apply this concealer in a "V shape" on your undereye and blend it upwards using your ring finger</u>. </span></div>

So refreshing, so good. URIAGE Eau Thermal is still saving my </span><i style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><strike>life</strike></i><span style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> skin now that I am back in Sydney. With the change in weather - my skin has been PMS-ing like a bitch. Ridiculously dry and rashes poppin' up left right centre (quite literally).

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Once again, I got a little carried away on my usual Friday night shenanigans and was <i><strike>just a wee bit</strike></i> tempted to skip The Unconvention by The Entourage on Saturday. I am quite a morning person but a 9am start on a Saturday with tonnes of accumulated sleep debt can be quite a mission, ya know. </div><div style="text-align: center;">But HEY, I am another step closer to success since I did show up. :P<br />
<br />
On a serious note though, I am SO glad I did as I walked out of the convention with a highly information-saturated brain, feeling inspired and motivated with a few ideas popping up in my head. Definitely the kick I needed to achieve <a href="http://through-beauty-eyes.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/2013-brand-new-start-goals-resolutions.html" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">my 2013 goals</span></b></a>. :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, just a little background of The Entourage - which I came across by accident via one of the Facebook groups I joined. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://the-entourage.com.au/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><b>The Entourage</b></span></a> is Australia's largest group of real entrepreneurs and executives under 40, which provides a place for entrepreneurs, high-growth business and executives to network, connects Australia's best entrepreneurs with Australia's next entrepreneurs and offers real business education by people with "been there done that" experience.<br />

Lets have a quick look at some stats from the 2012 Dun and Bradstreet Business Start-Up and Failures Report before Jack's Tips to Entrepreneurial Success:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Business bankruptcies have increased by 48% in the last 12 months alone.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><b>2. The number of businesses starting has decreased by 98%.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><b>3. Of the business that started between 2007 and 2009, one third have already failed.</b><br />
<br />
What should you be doing (or shouldn't be doing) to make sure your business is not one of the ones that went bankrupt the ones that failed?<br />

</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">1. Lean Start Up</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"><br />
</span></b>Discover <b>quickly</b> what works and what doesn't.<br />
<br />
Jack's #1 rule to start up: <b>To fail and fail fast</b>.<br />
Enter the market fast and find a viable business model before you run out of business funds.<br />
<br />
Failure is not the main reason start ups failed - the inability to fail fast and find a viable & sustainable business model is.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">2. Branding</span></b><br />
<br />
Develop a brand that compels people to do business with you.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">"When you establish a personal brand and business brand that is visible in the media, opportunity starts to find you"</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">3. Business Development</span></b><br />
<br />
Create leveraged ways of generating business through strategic partnerships and leveraged PR/ media coverage.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">THREE QUESTIONS when it comes to identifying SYNERGY OPPORTUNITIES and DEVELOPING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS:</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"><br />
</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">- WHO is your complementary business/ partner?</span></b><br />
<br />
So how do we<b> identify a complementary business</b>?<br />
<br />
1) Where do my customers go BEFORE they buy my products?<br />
2) Where do they go AFTER they buy my products?<br />
3) Who services the same target market as I do but offers different products and/or services?<br />
<b><br />
</b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">- WHAT is the compelling reason for this strategic partnership?</span></b><br />
<br />
Always lead with what <b>YOU</b> can offer when it comes to establishing strategic partnership.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;">"If its not free, it has gotta be a SHIT HOT DEAL" </span></b><br />
<b><br />
</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"><b>- HOW to develop compelling offer to consumer that benefits both parties?</b></span><br />
<br />
The Maccas and Disney partnerships which benefit both businesses over the years, from Happy Meal deals to setting up McDonalds at Disneyland theme parks.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Always remember: <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">50% of something is better than 100% of nothing.</span></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><br />
</span></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">4. Online Strategy.</span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>Aim for market leadership online.</div><div><br />
</div><div>That translates to drive more traffic to your website and convert more traffic on your website.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Everything is possible on the internet in today's world - all you need leverage the web technologies to build strong relationships online. </div><div><br />
</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"><b>5. Management.</b></span></div><div><br />
</div><div>Implement efficient management that enables growth and this could be done via <b>centralised systemisation</b>. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Centralised systemisation ensures that the operations are synchronised across the business, employees have clear instructions and understanding on tasks they are required to perform and most importantly, to maximise efficiency. </div><div><br />
</div><div>According to Jack, The Entourage systemised <i>almost </i>everything - from operations manuals to reporting and letter templates to the EXACT direction to the nearest post office. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I shit you not. </span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">"Everything that happens twice, we systemised" </span></b></div><div>- Jack Delosa on centralised systemisation of The Entourage - </div></div><div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">6. Capital Raising and Acquisitions. </span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>Know how to raise funds for your business and acquire other business (when the opportunity arises).</div><div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><u>CAPITAL RAISING</u></span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div><i>Only 1 succeed out of every 4,000 businesses that tried to raise capital.</i></div><div><br />
</div><div>Many would put the blame on "insufficient funds in the Land Down Under" when it comes to failure to raise capital but really, the #1 barrier to raising capital drills down to not finding the right opportunity and entrepreneurs are often not prepared when the doors open.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Entrepreneurs should ALWAYS be prepared with the answers to these <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"><b>THREE QUESTIONS ON EVERY INVESTOR'S MIND</b>:</span></div><div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">1) Will I lose my money?</span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>The investors want to know if you have a solid foundation and business model. What's the concept of your business? Do you have any proof to back these up? Who's driving the business? Do you have a mentor to guide and coach you?</div><div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">2) When wil I get my money back?</span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>The investors want to know if you have a clear and defined exit strategy which will guarantee their return. What's the timeline/ lifecycle of the business?</div><div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">3) Will I make money?</span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>The investors want to know if there's any growth opportunity within the business. What are the milestones achieved to date and how likely will the investor make a return? Is the projected future real and realistic?</div><div><br />
</div><div>If you have got these questions covered, your success rate will definitely be higher the next time you meet your potential investor(s). </div><div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><u>ACQUISITION</u></span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>Why should I acquire another business when I am planning to sell my business in the short term anyways? One may ask.</div><div><br />
</div><div>According to Jack, the valuation of an average business sold is <b>2X its profit</b>. </div><div><br />
</div><div>For example:</div><div><i>A business is worth $200k, you bought it for $400k and sold it for $800k. You made an <b>arbitrage profit </b>of $400k. </i></div><div><br />

<br />

<br />
Whilst you weren't expected to think of selling your business before it is launched but an exit strategy should definitely be included in your business planning as it might potentially affect your business model.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Boy, did I have a massive brain seizure (in a good way, of course) with all the useful tips and information given that day by the inspiring Jack Delosa, the founder of TheEntourage (and a gazillion other achievements), Petar Lackovic and Kristine Sampson. Anyhoos, stay tune for a few wordy upcoming posts - don't wanna give away too much as yet. :P</span></div>
