Lumiere Black Cherry

I think this is my new favourite eye shadow.

I got this from my Lovingminerals.com haul and its totally awesome. My first time with mineral eyeshadow.


The colour is dark purple which almost black with shimmer.

Here a swatch of the loose eyeshadow


The colour is wonderful for eyeliner and eyeshadow. However when applied as eyeliner, it does not seems to be long lasting. Perhaps because of its loose pigment.

Here a picture of it as eyeliner, please do not mind my greasy hair.. I think its because my hair is still wet and its microshot :P


I have also used it as an eyeshadow and its nice :) I assured you it look wonderful for smoky eyes if you don't want just the usual black. :)

Here a poor attempt picture of it, I used Benefit Stilettos as base, make it more lasting and stand out more. The picture sucks though. The colour is nicer real life.


I think I must try more of this. hehe.

Lumiere Cashmere foundation and Everyday Minerals Flat Top brush.

I can't resist the mineral make up I bought yesterday from Loving Minerals and quickly tried it on today.

Top L to R : Lumiere Cashmere Foundation (Light Medium Golden), Everyday Minerals (Fairly Light), Lumiere Pure Silk Finishing Powder (Sand)
Bottom L to R: Lumiere Blushers (Fresh Roses), Lumiere All Over Colour (Soft Radiance), Lumiere Flawless Finish Powder (Sheer)



Since I'm only going out of the house to do some last min CNY shopping, I only try out Lumiere Cashmere Foundation, light medium golden.



Tried swatching the colour, its very smooth and soft powdery form. Honestly I have no idea how much is enough for my face.




I use this amount for half my face and add almost same amount for the other half.

Is that amount enough? Someone help me!

Verdict: Very lightweight and very light coverage but I'm wondering is it because I did not apply enough. I like the fact that I do not feel like I have heavy make up on but it does not cover flaws like my liquid foundation. Its good for everyday use though for me since I hate having foundation on because of the 'heaviness'.

Maybe I should have include the finishing powder too, better coverage perhaps. Alright, I will try it out and update.

On to the Everyday Minerals flat top brush,


this brush is like a little heaven. So so so soft, its even softer than my Body Shop Kabuki brush.

Look how dense. :)

I love the brush and applying the mineral foundation with it is a breeze. However it shed a little, sob. A few strand was sticking out when I was testing it out. Lets hope it won't shed more.


I can't wait to try the rest of the mineral make up! Feel like a small kid :) :) :)

Weekend Haul - Mineral Make Up

Finally I dips my little toes into Mineral Make Up after looking at it for so long.

Truth to be told, my interest is spark of by Everyday Mineral Flat Top brush first.
Soft and dense. How can someone not be interested.

I found out about Loving Minerals after surfing around about make up and had also been reading bout it in some local blogs.

Put my orders, and here it is! :)


Actually I have only ordered the Everyday Minerals flat top brush and a Lumiere deep liner (black cherry). I got a sample of Sand, finishing powder from the purchase too. yay!

Upon COD, Lynn from Loving Minerals brought some sample size along with her,Yay for me!
As I always wanted to try this sample size set (3 foundations, 1 finishing and 1 blusher) but never want to get it because I am clueless about my foundation shade. I get to choose it on the spot and purchase.

Thanks for the colour recommendation, Lynn!


There, there. I can wait to try them out. :)
I will blog more about it once I try.

Oh and I got a new make up remover. The Simple one is utterly useless... sorry to say.


Lets hope this is better
