FOTD in Shu Uemura Prestigious Bordeaux and Ciate Nails

Just a quick post to fill the gap that is my absence for the last 4 weeks. I have been traveling around the US and Canada and I simply had no time to do any post updates.

On another note, I have decided to take another job prior to leaving on this holiday and so the past 6 weeks have been simply hectic!!

Haha... I can't stop giggling at the above picture. I am no nail or hand model alright.

These pictures were taken after I came home from a full day of shopping etc. I was happy to see that the shadows held up beautifully over my Shu Uemura cream eyeshadow base. I purchased Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer potion in the US and its actually so much better than the Shu!! 

Product breakdown:
- Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation in Sand Beige
- Becca Anniversary Palette in Dusty Rose on cheeks (Tuberose lip & cheek creme and Narcissus highlighter)
- Shu Uemura Prestigious Bordeaux palette (bronze on eyelid, dark purple in outer v and lower lashline, light purple to blend harsh edges and lightly on the inner corner, light tan on the inner eyelid, gold glitter in the middle of the lid) - I love the colours on this palette!! Rich, jewel tones are the bomb!
- Maybelline Falsies Mascara 

Hope you enjoyed this look!!

Becca's 10th Anniversary Palette in Dusty Rose - Review and Swatches

Next up is the other Anniversary Palette in this collection, Dusty Rose. I just knew that this would wow me. WOW.

Dusty Rose houses four of Becca's cream products. From the top right corner going anti-clockwise, we have:

• Lip Gloss in Cassini - very sheer nude pink
• Creme Blush in Turkish Rose - muted nude rose
• Lip & Cheek Creme in Tuberose -fresh medium pink with a hint of peach
• Creme Highlighter in Narcissus - a highly pigmented light gold

L-R: Cassini, Turkish Rose, Tuberose, Narcissus, Cassini layered on top of Tuberose

Verdict: This palette is a winner for me. I can see myself using all four shades to create a complete daytime look that is fresh, flawless and never overdone. I highly recommend using Turkish Rose all over your cheeks for a natural "base" cheek colour. Layer Tuberose on the apples of your cheeks. Use Tuberose again on the lips, followed by Cassini. Lightly dab Narcissus on top of your cheekbones to highlight. DONE! :)
