[Beauty Review & Swatches] Jane iredale Smoke and Mirror collection

Have you ever feel like you are so tempting to get a palette of eyeshadow, but then you paused and hesitate to bring it home, because there are colors that you know you are not gonna use?  For me, it's an everytime problem whenever I visited beauty store! Geez, and i know how annoying the feeling is :) Afterall, beauty shopping has to be theurapic instead of stressful, right? If you are nodding on this, you need to consider Smoke & Mirror range into your make up collection.

Take my word, you won't regret it.

This is a smokey look collection, and you will be surprised to see how beautiful the color when they are ended together. Sexy. Smokey. Sultry. Or not, use as individual color to make your eye make up popped even better.

The palette comes with 5 different smokey looks to play with. I created the pink smokey and black smokey eyes as you can see on the below pic :) I think the pink smokey suit for day glam up look to attend event, some media launch or even for just hanging out with your besties. On the black smokey look, I prefer to wear this look for evening event. Which of this look do you like best?

Here are the other smokey look option that you can create, complete with the guidelines that comes with the palette.

This below detailed look on how the color blends prefectly and compliment each color..

Do you know what is the most amazing part on this palette? The pigmentation! i have to admit Jane Iredale has one of the best eyeshadow quality among other brand around. It's suit sensitive skin, non comedogenic, and high quality. It's beyond superb! 

Take a look on this swatches, isn't gorgeous?

The wonderful people behind Jane Iredale Singapore also send me this silver and gold glitter to use for the eye look as well. I have yet to create any look using this two sparkling beauty, but I definitely will!

Jane Iredale magic hour collection

Make up stuff always makes me happy!

Especially when it comes from one of my favourite brand - Jane Iredale.

I am always a big fans of this high quality brand, none of the collection that I ever tried and tested before, disappoint me :)

So when they offer me to review their magic hour collection, I was happy! 

 and as expected The collection is damn gorgeous as always.

The smooth texture of the new Jelly Jar Gel Eyeliner naturally creates the rich, captivating look of kohl, but without any chemicals or irritants, and waterproof effect with the combination of natural coconut oil and silicones. Available in Black and Brown and packaged in a compact pod, each Jelly Jar Gel Eyeliner provides long-wearing color that easily glides on with the Angle Eyeliner Brush designed to ensure precise application on the lash line.

The PurePressed Eye Shadow . Triple in Golden Girl creates golden lids that can be sultry or romantic, with three glimmering eye shadow shades that may be worn alone or together: a deep bronze, a shimmery dusty rose and a rich gold.

Lip Fixation is a dual-ended lip stain and gloss that provides strong, long-lasting color and moisturizing shine to the lips. Packed with botanicals, the stain soothes and protects lips for comfortable, buildable coverage without feathering or drying. The gloss creates a luscious, shiny look while hydrating and imparting a delicious vanilla taste on lips. The new mauve shade, Compulsion, creates a subtle, sultry lip, while Craze takes coral to a gorgeous golden hue.

This is my favourite color!

Isn't gorgeous?

Here are the pricing :)

Jelly Jar Gel Eyeliner in Black or Brown $45

Angle EyeLiner Brush $24

PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple in Golden Girl $48

Lip Fixation in Compulsion or Craze $58

Smooth affair and cover it well with Jane Iredale ^^

Ladies..meet one of my favourite brand again:

Jane Iredale

I seriously thank my lovely friend, Paurina for not being able to attend Champagne night with Jane Iredale *Mwuahahaha..* and passed me the invite instead, and that night..I came to know this awesome brand. 

*e-smooch you Pau Pau*

~*~

This time, I was so happy when the pretty Ms. Joselyn gave me this exclusive press kit to introduce their new Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB cream and SMooth Affair Facial Primer & Brightener with natural brightening ingredients. 

I think many of you already know that I am a fans of BB cream, and even when I did my interview with local newspaper- Lianhe Wanbao, I did mentioned to them that my daily make up routines usually only using BB cream as a base, so that is the reason that I am so keen to try out Jane Iredale's BB cream so much and OMG, let me tell you that it does meet my expectation.

The combination of this both lovely Glow time and Smooth affair is amazing.
I use this for my make up client that requested a lighter look for her afternoon party look.
The texture is light, smooth and smells fragrantly delicious.



My face on the photo below already using Glow time and Smooth affair and already completed the look :)
*and I am just acting to squeeze the cream out * :P
*cannot looking damn bare lar..doing make up review :D*

I started with Smooth affair facial primer & brightener to smooth out my skin and even out the skin tone.
It comes with translucent pink colour that works wonder to make pores look smaller and controlling oil in our face.

Then continue with the Glow time to cover the blemishes :)

This BB cream has the MOST coverage compare to all BB cream I ever tried, and remember that this is still a mineral make up. So it is still very light despite the high coverage they have.

Glow Time incorporates natural minerals that adjust to your skin tone to cover blemishes, minimize

pores, disguise wrinkles and smooth and brighten skin. The original formula nourishes your

complexion and helps protect skin from UV and free-radical damage.

Product Benefits:

 Contains a broad spectrum SPF 25 UVA PA++ that is water resistant up to 40 minutes.

 Six carefully calibrated shades address all skin types; BB1, BB3, BB5 (I am using BB5), BB7, BB9 and BB11.

 Titanium Dioxide  gives excellent anti-inflammatory mineral UV protection.

 Grapefruit Extract promotes luminosity and skin radiance, minimizes

appearance of pores and wrinkles, and may help to fade uneven pigmentation.

 Apple Extract is a skin smoothing anti-oxidant that exfoliates, refines and rejuvenates.

 Bitter Orange Extract naturally perfumes and conditions.

 Aloe Leaf Juice Soothes and calms the skin.

 Honeysuckle Extract helps to purify the skin.

 Iron Oxides are natural earth minerals that provide color without the

use of FD&C dyes.

Simply said: The product is amazing and the price is worth every cents of it.

* again, you know me, I cannot be bribe eventhough the product is sponsored :)*

If it's not worth to buy, I will said bluntly as well. 

But Jane Iredale is really a different class and I am already in love with them.

I am currently using their Lip drink, Lip plumper, Glow time, Smooth affair and also the Mysticol powder eyeliner sometimes.

Where to buy this?

You can check Jane Iredale's collection at 

The Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Hotel.

Happy Glow time and have a smooth affair too!

Mysticol powder eyeliner and powder highlighter by Jane Iredale

Back to Make up!

I would like to share my eye make up look by using Mysticol powder eyeliner and powder highlighter 

by Jane Iredale only.

Yes, you heard it right..it's powder eyeliner ^^
Not bad ay? we have pencil, ink, gel, liquid and now powder form of  eyeliner.
Puurfect :)

Before that, let me tell you that this product:

It's Hypoallergenic, 

dermatologist tested and always formulated with exclusive skin care ingredients, 

so Mystikol is safe for even the most sensitive eyes.

And It has several beautiful colours such as:

Malachite: A sparkling moss with buttery beige

Amethyst: Royal purple with luxurious pearl

Dark Topaz: Rich brown with velvet rose

Lapis Lazuli: Vibrant blue with shimmering ivory

Onyx: Otherworldly black with creamy pearl

( I got this one)

Aquamarine: A cool, swim through tropical, blue waters with a rose highlighter

Citrine: A shimmering combination of ochre and metallic bronze with a gold highlighter

This is the look that I called
" pretty safe "

Why Pretty safe?
because I think this look is safe to carry in any event.

You can attend your media event, meeting your business partner, go to office, meet your potential client, dinner date, or even attending the wedding with this look.

Not too done up, but its enough to brighten up your eyes.

Simply by applying the black powder eyeliner close to your lash line, and u can just smudge it with your ring finger. 

Same apply to your lower lash liner.

                      

Apply your inner corner with the highlight colour in horizontal V shape.

That's it! You're done!
Complete the look with your faux eyelashes
and keep your foundation/powder light and neutral colour of lipstick.

Overall, I love the intensity of the colours and it's easy to blend even when using finger.
But just make sure, to be very careful when you are opening the cap..or else..

This is what you got!



Happy trying!

The next post will be from Jakarta :)
I'm flying back for my brother in law wedding and I'm so happy to meet my parents too.

Signing off from here..

^^

Champagne night with Jane at Fairmont Hotel Singapore

I received this invitation from my bestfriend who is the member of

Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont Singapore

In fact, I often visits the Spa to enjoy the sauna and jacuzzi while catching up with her during the weekdays. I love to be in the spa, who doesn't? the smell, the ambience, and the companion of course, helps me to relax in my hectic week.

So, I immediately said YES! to this invitation.

As a beauty blogger, I always want to know about the latest trend of make up and beauty products in the market, call me addicted to it..it's ok, I am a make up addict and a beauty junkie anyway.

I admit that. ^^

I was really excited for the event, because I really want to know more about this 

Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup

Have any of you heard about this before? I don't!

But I do now :)

Let me share this little background with you,

Jane Iredale is the president and founder of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, a company she founded in 1994 which brought the mineral makeup line jane iredale to the aesthetic industry.  She was the first to supply this industry with a line of makeup that had skincare benefits.

Jane has always thought of makeup as an essential part of a woman's sense of well-being and she wanted to make that easy to achieve.  That's why her mineral powders are a foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen all in one, and why every product in the line is multi-functional.  Her goal is to make products that look good, feel good and are good for the skin.  Products must be easy to apply, as well, so that a woman can be her best in the shortest amount of time.

She was inspired to develop a makeup that was good for the skin by her career in the entertainment industry where she saw actresses and models struggling with the ill-effects of the many kinds of makeup they wore.  Her experience in working with women whose careers depended on a clear complexion allowed her to see how skin disorders and sensitivities not only threatened careers, but also destroyed self-confidence.

Jane's success in reaching women of all ages and nationalities is based on the belief that true makeup artistry comes not from trying to make a face conform to the latest fashion trends, but from enhancing the wearer’s natural beauty and, as a result, allowing her personality to shine.

As a start of the night, we all ushered to enter the room after the reception table.
I met, phei-phei..who become one of the make up artist of the night. *Glad to see u again*

And soon after the room start filling with others member, Paola (Willow Stream Spa director) opened up the night with Interesting Champagne knowledge
with Britta Giese (Fairmont Singapore wine Sommelier)

Paola (in blue) and Britta

Uh, before i go on with the champagne night.. I need to comment of Paola, she rock that night with her blue body hugging dress and OMG!! she looks amazing! me and Lily keep commenting on how we envy her figure. uggh.. I so want that body! *try to suck all the tummy in as hard as possible* ~nvm~

Then, Britta start explaining about champagne, and we got a chance to try 2 type of champagne that night

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Prosecco

I prefer Veuve!
and please don't drink it with empty stomach, because it will go to your blood stream really fast!
Believe me, I know how it felt.
Dizzy and unpleasant. ugh.

Finished with the Champagne knowledge, we were back on our seats and start listening to a short yet interesting presentation about Jane Iredale and there are Makeup Artist and model ready in front to do some makeup demonstrations as well.

I really want to try this ^^

And as soon as the presentation done, we can mingle around in the room to try the products or get some amazing food at the back. For me, food can wait..I immediately run around (not exactly run though) to snap and tried the products ^^



See this? I want!!



Lily is even faster than me, she approach Phei phei and had a make over!



I want too!! and i want mirror to see myself..so I chose the make over table that has this mirror..
I love this.



Meet Joselyn,



She is the make up artist who did gorgeous make over on me.
Just too bad I came with full make up on or else I could try more of the products. (dammit!)



The make up indeed light and smells so bloody good!
Try the loose powder that has a light texture but medium to full coverage to use in a certain patch of your face, it helps to cover the blemishes without feeling too thick.
~*~

It was so cool playing around with make up and stuff, but my tummy with a help of my eyes could not resist the temptation of the gorgeous food and their lovely presentation any longer..oh my..
So I started my late dinner with this:







Gorgeous isn't it?


My trio picks of the night! and I had 2 sets of this.
I know I'm greedy. :P

Dessert!!
I think I better leave it with picture for you to enjoy :)

This is so freaking yummy! watermelon lollipop, not a normal lollipop tho ^^
