Hair Style Love: Low Bun

I love this elegant, yet simple low bun that Dianna Agron was sporting in this photo. 

Favorites: April, 2011

Hey everyone, I would like to share with you guys my April Favorite! Enjoy =)

These are the products that I either fell in love with or use consistently during the month of April! 

By Terry Purete De Rose Refreshing Cleansing Gel:

a very gentle cleanser, leaves the face fresh, soft and hydrated.
Shu uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil [Fresh]:

I didn't like this when I first started using it as a cleanser, I hated the oily feeling I get after I use it. Now I use a cleanser right after, and it's perfect as just a makeup remover. 

Rock&Republic Contrived Blush [Tease]: pigmented, easy to blend and gives a natural, and healthy color to the cheeks.
Burberry Light Glow Blush [Russet 01]: beautiful peachy bronze color, very pigmented with butter-like texture.
Dior Ultra Shimmering Powder [Amber Diamond 002]: a light bronze, finely milled highlighter.
Nars Bronzer [Laguna]: I use this for contour with a small kabuki brush, so it defines and gives a bit of color. 

Giorgio Armani Designer Cream Foundation:

Light weight, moisturizing, smooth, and great coverage. My favorite foundation for cooler weathers =)
Dior Flat Top Foundation Brush:

Does a great job with the Armani cream foundation. It's soft and made from all natural hair, though it does shed a lot =(
Dior Matte and Luminous Hydrating Loose Powder:

silky, mattifying, very finely milled, hydrating. Perfect =)
Lancome Mineral powder brush:

incredibly soft, and perfect for applying powders.
Chanel Le Cryon Khol [69]:

the perfect nude pencil for subtle highlighting of the inner eye.

The swatches (from left to right): Tease, Russet, Amber Diamond, Laguna, Chanel pencil

Hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know if you have any questions =)
I'm gonna try to keep up with this, so follow me if you want more =P

Haul: Cosmetic Gala

Couple weeks ago I attended a cosmetic gala at The Bay (a Canadian department store, much like Nordstrom in the states) with a friend, and I purchase a few things =)

What is a cosmetic gala:

(happens 1-2 times a year for about 2-3 hours) Usually after the regular business hours are over, the cosmetic section will open to costumers who has brought a ticket in advance. Usually most of the ticket price can be redeemed if you purchase something at the event. The one I went to had snack foods and drinks, it was catered by a great restaurant that was attached to the mall, so the food was delicious (they served shrimps, dumplings, a variety of cheeses and so on). There were gift baskets to be won from draws, unfortunately I didn't win anything =(

Now on to the HAUL!

These are the products that I purchased at the event.

These product were given to me in a huge blue handbag (sorry not in the picture) by the event itself:
