i had uneven eyes this morning. my left eye, which is the most photogenic for eotd pics, decided to become monolids today. it's slightly swolen without any obvious reasons. no pain. no itchiness.

i tried to keep the eyes simple to take focus out of the eyes.

noella beauty works eyeshadow in rose silk all over the lids and lower lashline, and maybelline colossal mascara to coat the lashes.

on my lips, de leon cosmetics lipbalm in #1. very moisutrizing and pigmented.

this is a look inspired by lisa eldridge's matchy makeup trend. i wore a magenta shirt today and used colors to match it.

on my eyes, black rose minerals eyeshadow in the brain at inner 1/2 of the eye lid and venom at outer 1/2. left over colors on lower lashline.

the lashline was lined with purple from pf gel cream liner for brown eyes and lash was coated with too faced pin point mascara.

venom is very pigmented. i was in a hurry and forgot to wipe off excess color. though i tried to make the color lighter with blending brush, it was still more intense than what was intended.

on my lips, de leon cosmetics lip gloss in #13 applied over bare lips. please excuse the not so perfect application.

wearing black rose minerals eyeshadow in fawndled all over the eyes. this is my favorite eyeshadow of the moment and have been using it a lot lately. perfect neutral color.

i have previously done the same neutral look with this shadow. just looks slightly different from different light source.

no eyeliner. the eye was completed too faced pin point mascara.

lips of the day is de leon cosmetics lipgloss in #3.

please excuse the not-so-perfect application. it's hard to apply evenly with lip brush under insufficient bathroom light.

please also excuse the not so great lip swatch. the color looks better in fotd pics after the cut.

de leon cosmetics is a new australian mineral makeup company. i will do a review of their products soon.

botanics of australia repairing antioxidant serum with kakadu plum and native grampe extract.

a while ago i did an intial review of it with other boa products. now i've used the prouct for 2 months. i'm reporting back my thoughts about it.

first the product.

this comes with a pump dispenser. i like it.

i think i'm near the end of the product since i don't get as much product with one pump now. with the packaging it's impossible to see how much products left insdie.

the amount get from a single pump. it's enough for the whole face. it's thick gel-like consistency. it's not easily spread. your face or your fingers need to be slightly damp to spread the product more evenly.

my order from bokeh face cosmetics. it came nicely wrapped. i have previously done a mini review about my initial impression.

all the samples came in clam shell containers.

i have a love-hate relationship with them. i prefer them over baggies but have great fear of spills when handling them. i only get that much sample and if get knocked over, i'll lost everything. i once accidentally dropped one of them and luckily it wasn't opened!

due to this reason i won't be taking product photos. i'll take them on demand if i'm doing certain looks and if i have time.

my attempt to swatch some of the colors fails. i'm never good at them so i might as well not showing inaccurate colors. you can easily google for better color swatches.

the foundation samples in pale and medium pale. medium pale can almost match my skin tone and pale is too pale for me. pale foundations usually make your skin look grey and dead but these seems to look fine on me. i'm still waiting for the missing medium which i expect to be a better match for me.

like most mineral foundations my skin will be shiny after a few hours. need to blot 1-2x throughout my long day.

the 3 blush samples in lotus, fab and glam.

these are nice colors. since i'm don't wear much blush i don't know how and what to benchmark. i don't heavily apply my blush so there aren't too much visible difference. they provide nice enough flush to my face.

the bottom view of the blush samples. these are opaque containers so on the minus side, you can't see the colors clearly. but they are just samples. i'm not too fussy.

the eyeshadow samples. i didn't expect myself to order these, but the nice swatches i found via google tempted me. i was going to order only 1 lot of samples, but there were too many pretty colors.
