L'occitane Giveaway Winner

Ho ho ho! I hope you had an amazing Christmas with your loved ones filled with presents! 

 I know, the announcement for my L'occitane giveaway winners has been WAY overdue. 

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. 

 ANYHOOS, 

the winner for my Instagram giveaway IS @kireinakatewarner 

Congrats Kate, you have won yourself a Cherry Blossom set! 

_____________ 

Next up, the winner for my blog giveaway IS Nella from Beaute Gazette

Congrats Nella, you have won yourself a Addictive Almond pack! 

_____________ 

Because it's the season to be jolly and I like surprises, there will be a third (surprise) winner. ;) 

 AND, the surprise winner IS *drums roll* Gabby! 

Congrats Gabby, you have won yourself a Provence set! 

_____________ 

Kate, Gabby, Nella, if you could kindly forward your mailing addy to throughbeautyeyes [at] gmail [dot] com before the 7th of Jan, that'd be great! Please note that I wouldn't be back in Sydney until then. So, the package wouldn't arrive anytime before that. If I haven't heard from you by the 7th, a new winner will be drawn. 

_____________ 

A HUGE thank you to all of you who entered and thank you so much for supporting ThroughBeautyEyes! 

 Xoxo,

QUICKIE UPDATE: A little bit of everything + disco ball nails ft ORLY Can't Be Tamed & Be Brave

So, once again, I might have gone on another unannounced hiatus. 

#BeautyBloggingFail #12837127319237912 

This was my excuse - cramming and squeezing every drop of my brain juice dry for my final and (hopefully) last exam for my Chartered Accountant Program! That was how I spent my 24th birthday too -have a hot time sexing it up with my EBA notes.

Don't mind the fatty TimTams - its part of my exam diet. ;)

I know, I have left you ladies hanging from my Beauty Bloggers Utopia Day 01, which was over a week ago. Shame on me. Don't worry, I promise to kill your bandwidth in my next post with more photos from my #BBU12 weekend. ;)

For now, just a quickie update about what have been happening in the past 10 days or so when I disappeared from le blog:

Attended Bio Oil's 10th birthday at Chiswick which left me leaving with a 5-months-food-baby! A more detailed update on that to come. 

I won a giveaway from my fellow base toucher - Michaela from LatherRinseRepeat! She incorporates some pretty damn awesome GIFs in her blog post, show her (and her GIFs) some love! 

A word of advice, I hope you aren't drinking or eating as I will not be held responsible for anything that lands on your computer screen (mainly whatever you have in your mouth at that moment). ;)

 I received a MASSIVE love package from my favourite LA chica - Gwen <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

I will be sending some love to your way shortly!! 

 Turned another year older - to the ripe age of 24.

And no longer do I enjoy a massive birthday cake - a variety of nomlicious cake pawns a massive cake of the same flavour ANYTIME. Maybe, I am just a #fatshit ;)

Those lemon tart & ricotta cheese cake were orgasmic!!!

Signed and sealed - starting a new job on Monday!! I am excited yet nervous at the same time as this is something quite different to what I have done in the past 2 years! Nevertheless, it's a fresh, new beginning!!!

Also, lunch buddy required in Bondi Junction, enquire within. ;)

Weekend DISCO NAILS featuring ORLY Can't Be Tamed & Be Brave - ready to PARTY ROCK tonight with birthday drinks and a night out with the crew!!! 

Hope you guys have a lovely weekend ahead and happy Friday!!! 

What have you got planned for the weekend?

XOXO,

GIVEAWAY: KIEHL'S MIDNIGHT RECOVERY EYE

Sleepy Time?  *yawns* Wait! Don’t forget to restore your skin overnight, dear beauties.

I admit, I am probably one of the laziest person you ever know but I do, however make a point to slap on some skin care on my face before hitting the sack. (whether it is thorough or done within 10 seconds, that’s another story. =P)

I know – it is an effort having to apply skin care after that long, hot (or cold if it’s scorching hot) shower and all you wanna do is crash in your comfy bed. That’s precisely how I feel every day, most of the day anyways. BUT, our skin needs to regenerate, repair and replenish what it has lost during the day as a result of protecting itself against internal and external aggressors.

Following its successful introduction of the revolutionary Midnight Recovery Concentrate, KIEHLS brings you its ideal companion Midnight Recovery Eye to help achieve fresher, younger looking eyes in the morning by diminishing puffiness and fine lines and wrinkles.

In conjunction with the launch of the Midnight Recovery Eye, one lucky ThroughBeautyEyes reader will receive a full size Midnight Recovery Eye and a Peter Alexander Eye Mask, thanks to KIEHLS and EGPR.

HOW to WIN?

Mandatory: (1 entry)

1)     Subscribe to Through Beauty Eyes HERE

AND

Answer the following question:

“What is your worst facial disaster?”

Personally, I can’t think of anything real bad at the top of my head now but my sister once used this Wakilala Japan ARMPIT Clear Wash as a facial cleanser for almost a week!!!

That’s right, true story. She wouldn’t have realised if she didn’t go on and on about how awesome the “cleanser” was and asked where did I buy it from. My sister was lucky that she didn’t have any break outs or anything but the thought of having an UNDERARM cleanser on my FACE is enough to freak me out.

REVIEW: CIRCLE LENSES PART 2 - EOS G201 MAX PURE GREY and GIVEAWAY WINNER :)

Remember I said that there will be a part 2 coming up when I reviewed about the EOS J203 Adult Green lenses HERE last week? Except that instead of the next day, it took me more than a week for Part 2. Standard. 

EOS G201 MAX PURE GREY

This is definitely more subtle and less over the top compared to the Green lenses, and the black rims give a pretty good enlargement effect. 

Be the judge yourself and spot the difference. :P

With lenses, without make up. 

With lenses, with make up.

A close up of the lenses.

As you can tell, the Max Pure Gray "blends" in better with my natural eyes colour and its less over the top. 

Just like the previous review, after the comparison shots and how it looks like when worn, let's move on to What I Think about these lenses:

Color/ Pattern: This colour is pretty subtle and is suitable for everyday wear if you're a circle lenses person.  This could be another alternative if light brown/ honey coloured ones are a tad too bright for a start up colour. 

Comfort: These lenses are pretty comfortable for circle lenses standard - I am able to wear them for a good 6-7 hours before having to apply eye drops. And don't worry, it feels the same as the normal lenses when worn. :)

Enlargement: This lenses give a better and bolder enlargement effect compared the the green ones, in which I love as the enlargement is perfect - just the way I like it. ;)

Price: I think its pretty reasonable at $20.00 per pair, especially you can get at least 6 months use out of it (it claims that you can wear up to 2 years but I don't think I will risk it especially I am a lazy ass when it comes to lense care).

OVERALL: I like these ones as much as the Adult Green but I will probably wear this more often than the other as this is slightly more subtle. If these were the exact prescription, there's actually possibility that I might be a daily-circle-lense-convert. :P Highly recommended for those who are just about to start out with circle lenses. :)

View the entire Max Pure Collection HERE. 

I noticed that the grey lenses makes me look more anime, especially when I am wearing nude lips. ;P

As promised, I will be sharing a discount code for you readers for Kiwiberry. And, I don't make empty promises!!! (always delayed but never empty :D)

FOTD ft INGLOT & Illamasqua and Scunci Giveaway Winner!

 Hey lovelies!

It has been a while, AGAIN! These inconsistent update gotta stop before my backlogged posts and drafts get out of control! I blame it on my CA assignment which was due on Monday, Melbourne Cup on Tuesday and suffering from a midweek hangover on Wednesday. =/ At least, I have more time in my hands now, until finals, which is in mid Dec. Oh, fun! 

I hope you Aussie readers had a great Melbourne Cup day! This week has flown by pretty quickly and no, not complaining at all. :P Not looking forward to work again tomorrow though. :(

I am just gonna squeeze in a quick FOTD post (which I have not posted in a while) which I had during my birthday dinner with the girls and announcing my Scunci Giveaway, which ended a week ago! 

I was just playing around with my INGLOT palettes purchased from IMATS 2011 and I LOVE the final look! 

The GORGEOUS INGLOT palette, which I wish they had names for their eyeshadows instead of numbers because really, as much as I love numbers, numberings and naming make up don't go quite well together! 

On my EYES

Australis Eyeshadow Primer

MAC Coral Crepe Paint Pot

INGLOT #1 (All over my lid)

INGLOT #2 (Outer Corner)

INGLOT #3 (Gently tap on the inner corner of my lid, over the matte peach colour to give that lovely shimmer that brightens up the eyes!)

Mineresse´ Tight Liner

Milani Liquif'eye Eyeliner Pencil in Black

Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara

ELF Eyebrow Kit in Medium

Random Falsies

Toric Circle Lenses in E-Natural 2 from MUKUCHU

Maybelline FIT ME Concealer in Light

Nude by Nature Natural Mineral Powder in Medium

Illamasqua Blush in Lover

Illamasqua Powdered Metal in Ether

On my LIPS #1

Illamasqua Pencil in Bait

On my LIPS #2

Illamasqua Lipstick in Corrupt

I decided to go for the wavy look that night, using the good ol' MODIVA professional curling iron. 

(I have since then found an easier, cheating way to achieve similar curls - have my hair up in a tight bun when its 30% wet and go to bed. VOILA, curls!)

I LOVE the combination of Bait & Corrupt! Perfect fuchsia shade :)

:+::+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:

Not to forget, we have a winner for my Scunci Giveaway which ended on 25th October 2011. My apologies for taking so long to pick the winner! 

CONGRATULATIONS CINDY! :)

Please email me your mailing address at throughbeautyeyes [at] gmail [dot] com. :)
