Plalettes review

Kate Palettes

About kate palettes. They are shimmery yet very pigmented,the quality of these are fab.One swipe is enough to get the most of the colour. this plalette is one of kate older plaletts, but can still be found in OG, BHG departmental stores. If you are going to malayisa, you can get them cheaper there. They are one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes. Kate is under kanebo cosmetics.Kanebo is also the same company for coffret d'or and lunasol.

This is one of the older palettes. Im not so sure of its name.            
This palette consists of 5 colours.
It has one highlighter( shimmery white colour), a all over lid colour in pink, purple shade for the crease, and the dark plum/dark purple colour for the lashline. and a bright glittery colour,which I dont really use.
                          
price : $27
overall rating : 4.5stars( I think this product is fab, but I dont think it deserved a 5)
pigmentation: 4.5
packaging : 4.5
texture/quality: 5

kate diamond cut eyes BK-1

another fabulous palelette from kate. The kate diamond cut eyes is really lovely !! ^^

It has 4 colours.

2 sparkly hightlighter, one silverish colour, and a goldish colour

1 white colour, to use as a base. A silver/blueish lid colour, and a very pretty black/greyish for the lashline.( I love the black/greyish colour)This palette is great for creating a nice shimmery smokey look

price : $27

overall rating : 5( probably one of the best palelettes they have)

pigmentation: 5

packaging : 4.5
texture/quality: 5

kate dual carat

This palette is great for daily use. Im using this daily for work. It is shimmery, but more subtle than their usual palettes.

It has two colours, one light beige lid colour and the brownish colour for the crease. It is more of a earthly,neutral shades.

Defintely a must-have colour for Office ladies like me.

price : $27
overall rating : 4 ( a little too shimmery, but colour payoff is just as good as their other series)
pigmentation : 4.5
packaging : 4.5
texture/quality: 5

I dont own many kate palettes, but Im keeping a lookout for their new products.
Honestly, kanebo make very good palettes. They are affordable, and has a good range of products. Their eyeshadow plalettes colour choices are great, have different looks for different occasions. If you have more budget, do try out coffret d'or palettes. They are just as good as kate, but with nicer and more glam packaging.  Quality wise, both are the same,at least for me.

Bought 2 dressses from bugis street. Both are $10. If you are low on budget,

and need to grab something fast, Bugis Street is the place for you!

I can easily spot around 5 to 6 tops that I like after making my

first round in there

a greyish dress with slightly flarred sleeves. The belt is from my own collection.
I plan to wear this to work

A simple black dress. It looks a bit loose and plain if

you wear it this way.

The black dress looks better with a belt ^^  It can be worn for

 work or play

Current work bag. Got this at $22 from a random store.

department gathering

had my department gathering at thai accent on 16/1,located at vivocity.

they have free flow of rice, there you have it..sticky white rice. The rice is a bit soft, but still alright for me.

We celebrated two colleagues birthday, cakes are from breadtalk. The fresh cream cake is very nice ^^ do try it if you have the chance.

the two birthday girls- Angela and Aeris =D

Me,valerie and YiWei..

unglamorous pose.

Had a great time dining with them. Food wise, was not that impressive. I think lerkthai was beter, in terms of taste,and serving service. But on the whole,it was still pretty good.

 The serving could be bigger, and more variety. The thai green chili was nice ^^

The tom yam soup was the worse, it was too spicy for my liking.

Hang out after dinner with few colleagues. Just sitting around, and gossipng. =D

makeup book

My first makeup book, by xiao kai . He is a well known makeup artist in Taiwan.

The makeup here is done by him, love how he do the winged eyeliner for the model.

love this green and blue look.  It had detailed steps on how recreate this look. I might try to wear this one day.

I would defintely recommend this to anyone. The steps are detailed and pictures to guide you. The looks are wearable and anyone can recreate it with simple tools.
