Taupe and Teal Eyemakeup Tutorial

Hope you like this step by step tutorial using all L'Oreal Paris Malaysia makeup range.

1. Tape a strapping tape at the end of the eye, I am using a strapping tape which I bought from Daiso, love it as it is very gentle and will not ruin your base makeup or pull your skin.

2. Apply a taupe or light brown transition colour onto the eye lid higher towards the crease and blend it lightly. This will make your blending of other colours easier. You can use 12 Chocolate Lover palette colour - B which is a 2nd lightest brown from the palette to do this.

3. Using the darkest brown from 12 Chocolate Lover palette - C, apply it at the outer V corner as well as inner V corner of the eye, this will give your eye more depth and dimension.

4. Using the Gelmatic Pen in 03 -which is apply it at the center of the eyelid to notnonly brighten up the look but also to create a base for the shimmery colour we are going to use later.

5. Taking the lightest shade fro. 12 Chocolate Lover palette - D, dab it on your eyelid slowly, you can use your finger to dab the color for higher intensity.
6. Next, taking the Gelmatic Pen in 06 - Teal, underline the lower lash line to give your eye a colour pop. This will also brighten your eye and giving it a  trendy total look.

7. Line your eyes and apply mascara. I am using  L'Oréal  False Lash Butterfly Waterproof Mascara as I love how it seperates my tiny little lashes.

8. This is an option, you can skip this or complete the look with false lashes 😊 i love false lashes because my eye lashes are really thin and little, they are somehow lacking in nutrients haha 😂😂 and i don't know why 😅.

I hope you like this kind of tutorial, do let me know what is your opinion on this, if you love it, I will do more.

Thank you and love u!

Tutorial ~*Golden Black NET French Tip*~

Hi Ladies, Happy Spring Festival to u ^_^ & Happy Valentine's Day!!


I just wanna share with you what I have came up with for my Chinese New Year Nails to usher the year of Tiger. ^_^

I called it the " Black Net French Tip"

Tadaa.......Nice? I just think they look sexy like a roaring "tiger" haha

I use the combination of "Gold" and "Black" as it's the year of Golden Tiger and tiger has black stripes on them, so I thought the just go pretty well.

This time. I use a little more tools to assist me to get the look... this is how I do it... ^_^

 1. I used

• Konad Stamping kit with M57 stamping plate.
• OPI - Start to Finish Top & Base coat.
• Elianto- in Twilight Zone-Black Nail Color
• 火烈鸟 nail polish- in Gold1727. << I got this from The Curve,the stall beside Nokia and the money changer in ground floor.Real inexpensive but the result is superb. I love the gold color so so much. If you do not have this and not know where to get them. just replace with any gold color you have in hand. They will work equally well.
• Vi-Ya nail art brush- Use any thin nail art brush to assist you in drawing your french tip- this is optional.

2. Apply both base coat and brush on the gold nail polish. Let it dry for 5 minutes.

3. Use the M57 stamping plate, "net" design, brush on some black polish and scrap off the excess, then stamp them on your nails. Do this to all your nails, be real careful as this can be very very messy.

4. Brush on a black color on the very tip of your nails, if you are not good at doing this, you may try doing this with a thin nail brush. If you do not want to invest money on this, just get any thin art brush brush you have in high school, make sure the bristle are smooth, then they are good for the project ^_^

5. Lastly, wait till everything dry for 10-15minutes, since we are playing with black, it is important to make sure everything dries up really well before apply on a thin top coat base.

Now, let me show what I did for my toe nails. I use the same top and base coat for my hand nails and use back the same gold nail color, the difference is I use Acrylic paint to draw on a flower on them.

  

This is the Acrylic Nail color and same the same thin nail art bush to draw the tiny flower and painted them. I bought this Acrylic paint at the Curve, the stall beside Nokia and the Monay Changer at Ground Floor for RM 30 only, inexpensive and fun!!

 This is my toe nail of the week!!! How do you like them? I still think they are not striking enough hehe.. oh well..

Hope you like this tutorial and sharing, Have a Superb Luna New Year and Valentine's Day!!

Let me show you what we had for Lunch today, STEAMBOAT!!!!!! 

  

 This is the best lunch I have because I have this lunch with my beautiful and wonderful family members. I love them so much ^__^ may everyone at home will have a prosperous, happy, healthy and fruitful year ahead, same goes to you too there ^_^

Muacks!!!!! XOXO from Jamz~ ROAR!!!!!!!!!!

Tutorial ~*Pink Lacey Nails*~

 

Tadaa.....JamZ-T Pink Lacey Nails

Hi Ladies, I have just came out with a pink lacey nails in conjuction of both Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year celebration, I think they will do just wonderful ^-^

How do you like them?

You can always change the color and pattern based on you preference, this is just what I have experimented with my Konad's stamping plate. I love them!!

 

1. First of  all, I get my nails painted in pink, don't forget to apply a thin layer of base coat before topping your nail color. ( I am using Etude House Petit Darling Nails in PK009, its a pretty Barbie pink color, as for my base coat, I picked OPI Start to Finish Base & Top Coat)

2. Next get your Konad's stamping kit ready with your selected stamping plate, for this look I choose M57 stamping plate. ( You can get this Konad's stamping kit at Etude House if you are in Malaysia, they are relatively inexpensive, ranging from RM10 -RM30 depending on what you getting)

3. Select the color you want to be stamped on your nails. For this look, I chose black. (I am using Elainto Nail Color- Twilight Zone) (Tips: For effective stamping effect please use matte color and avoid shimmery colors)

  

 4. With your stamping plate M57, select a lacey pattern.

5. Brush on some nail color on the selected design.

6. Scrap off the excess nail color with the scraper.

7. Using the stamping tool, stamp on your design as soon as you scrap the excess nail color to avoid the color on the stamping plate dries up. ( I highly advice you to play and practice before starting your project)

8. Using a rolling motion as per the above picture, stamp the pattern on from left to right when you stamping you right finger nails and right to left when your stamping your left finger nails. It is okay if the is excessive color touching your skin. You can easily clean them off with a cotton bud later.

  

9. To get my nail design, I actually stamp two/three lacey pattern on my nails (depending on the size) by row to get the full lacey nail look effect.

10. You can see picture 9 and 10 difference. With one and with two lacey image on. It's ok to have it a little messy for first few attempts, but you will get better once you practice more often.

11. I also spray on Kate Nail Color Dry to expedite the drying process. I think I got this for RM19.90 from Watson ( Not sure whether are they on discount at the time of purchase) I think they are pretty effective in drying up my nails and I love it so much since I do not need to wait for my nails to dry.

Lastly, my advice? 

i. Do practice more with the stamping kit

ii. This is a very messy project, especially if you are attempting to use black, remember to always cover your working area with papers, set a side a tiny cup of nail polish remover, cotton, cotton bud in-case you make any mess.

Hope you enjoy the look!!!!! 

Have a Happy Chinese New Year to those who celebrates it and Happy Valentine's Day!!!!! 

Have a loving week ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Till then XOXO from JamZ-T

  

Tutorial: **Watermelon Nails**

Hi there ladies, as promised, Watermelon Nails ^^

Supposed to upload this yesterday, but I decided to take a break and read some news instead =P

Yup, thanks to Watermelon, I got inspired and came out with this nail design ^_________^ *proud*  haha...

~My Yummy Inspiration~

Alright let’s get started!!

1. As per my normal practice, use a nail polish removal to remove the dirt of oil on your nails. This step will help to ensure the nail color stick on better onto your nails and longer lasting. (I am using Sally Hansen Polish Remover- Fast and Gentle. I love this remover as it is gentle on my nails, I do notice it does not dries up my nails like other nail polish remover do. But the down side is, it is not Acetone Free.)

2. Secondly, apply 2 thin layer of base coat. (I am using Ecrinal. I love this base coat so much. It does really protect my nails from turning yellow.)

3. Next, apply 2 thin layer of pink nail color onto whole of your nail. (I am using O.P.I- Pinking of You. The lightest yet sweetest pink shade I have seen so far, so natural.)

4. Using a dark green nail color act as the watermelon skin, applies it onto the tip of your nail. Since I do not have dark green nail color, I am using acrylic color as a replacement as I do not have any dark green nail polish. Acrylic paint has been used by many professional manicurists to draw wonderful pattern on nails. (I am using Winson & Newton Acrylic color-480 in dark green. You can see where I get them from my previous post >>here<<. To apply onto your nail, use a thin nail brush to apply them on. But if you do not own them, just take any painting brush you have, tiny enough to draw a line on your nail tip.)

5. Using a white nail color, draw a thin white line between the pink and dark green nail color. ( I am using Zhi Yen Nail Art Brush in bottle in white. I got this from the Curve Saturday and Sunday street market. They are really inexpensive, can’t really recall, but it cost either RM5 for 2 or RM10 for 3. If you couldn’t get the same, just use a white nail color and a thin brush to draw the line.)

6. Taking a black nail color, draw tiny dots on the pink area to imitate the watermelon seeds. You can choose to use a tiny brush to dot them or a tooth pick to assist you on this. You do not have to make them look perfect, just tiny enough to look like seeds will do. (I am using Zhi Yen Nail Art Brush in bottle in black)

7. Lastly, brush on two thin layer of good top coat.

~The Yummy Result~

YES, you made it again!!!!


I love them ^^ look so yummy haha..

XOXO Thanks for dropping by again!

OH NO Chapped Lips!!!!

People who knew me might notice that I have chapped lip problem. It became serious about 5 years ago during my first year of university life, I have tried many solutions and alternatives to get rid of it, but the problem never go away.

 An example of Chapped, dried lip

In general “Chapped Lips” refers to dry, painful cracking lips not only on the lips but around the mouth area, and at times they might even split and bleeds!! Chapped lips are normally cause by dryness in cold dry weather either in the winter or an air-conditioned room.

I tried applying various types of lip balms, from the cheapest to the most expensive every single day without fail, but none of them helped. To be honest, I have very low self-esteem at one point when my lip looks like two dried sausages, no kidding!!

I was so upset; I went to consult a doctor, my chapped lips was so severe that he needs to give me “hydrocortisone ointment” + some kind of moisturizing emulsion. He told me that my chapped lip became so severe that it is now an allergy… imagines that!


In just a few days after applying the cream he gave me, my chapped lips begin to recover, it’s like a miracle!! I guess the “hydrocortisone ointment” did help, but don’t tried this on your own, as “hydrocortisone ointment” has poisonous substance and not to be eaten, so it is best if could consult a doctor before start applying one. Also, it contain "steroid" which is very bad for your kidney and health.


I started venturing into safer and yet inexpensive option on how to cure my chapped lips and maintain it’s moisture as I do not want to fall back into what I was previously. My journey with petroleum jelly begins! It is the most in-expensive way to cure your dry lips problem and road to getting soft moisturizes lips.

 

Example of Petroleum Jelly "Vaseline" available in all leading pharmacy

So what do you have to do with the petroleum jelly?


Before going to bed …

Step 1: Cleanse your lips

Cleanse your lips with warm tape water. Some may prefer to clean them using mild salt water, suit your preference and dab it dry with a soft towel. If the excessive dried skin falls of its ok, if they don’t, DO NOT peel them!

*** WARNING! If you have dry chappy lips, please do not use harsh soap or over scrubbed your lips. It will cause it to lose it moisture and you might even make it bleed and worsen the condition. Worst still you might be like me.. allergy!!


Step 2: Get your petroleum jelly

 

Apply inside the circled area only

Get your jar of petroleum jelly, and dig out a one full tea spoon of petroleum jelly, and apply it all over your lips and a small amount around your mouth area. Try not to spread too much of the petroleum jelly on to your face area as it is non-comedogenic, it will clog your pores!!


Step 3: Go to bed
 
Go to bed with the petroleum jelly on and do not lick your lips as you are not suppose to be feeding on them =P


The next day, go grab a mirror! You’ll see the difference!!


Additional tips that might help:-

1. Other than petroleum jelly, you might want to drink more water; it will help to nourish both your skins and lip, keeping them hydrated.

2. Chapped lips might also mean the lack of certain vitamins such as vitamins B and E so you might want to stock up on that =)

3. Also, pay attention to the ingredient in the lip balms, lipstick or any lips product you use and see whether is there any ingredients you are allergy at.. This is a crucial point!!

Pretty lips = Pretty smile = Fun time smooching!!!
