Addicted to Face Masks

Lately, I’ve been super into buying and using face masks, specifically Japanese/Korean ones that are super affordable. I have ones from Tony Moly, Face Shop, InnisFree & more!

I’ve been using them 2-3 times a week and I haven’t experienced any negative side-effects. In fact, there’s a bunch of articles of people who used face masks everyday for a week and had mostly good things to say.I’ve noticed my skin has a natural dewy glow compared to when I don’t use masks.

I have a wide range of masks from moisturizing to firming and smoothing. I think this makes it easier to use multiple a week.

Do you use any face masks? I want to know your favourites!

NYX Suede Cream Lip Vault

My sister bought me the Liquid Suede Vault from NYX for my birthday. It features 24 liquid lipsticks in tons of fun colours. There’s one that is a bit more tame, but I was looking for fun colours I didn’t already have.

Here’s the swatch test! They appear super bright and vivid just like the bottle. It also took a bit of washing to get these off my arm, so they are definitely long wearing.

I wore a vibrant red to a wedding over the weekend and it lasted through coffee and a meal before needing to replay a little bit. I love the purples and I can’t wait to find an excuse to wear it!

Sephora Nude Lip Favourites

I bought this Sephora Nude Lip favourites kit recently to have lip colours that are more appropriate for everyday/work. I love funky colours, but I think people would think I was weird.

dscf4805

These all came in an adorable shaped box:

– Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Honeycomb (beige nude)
– Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in White Russian (nude)
– Estée Edit The Barest Contour lip Liner in 05 In The Buff (satin nude)
– Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crème in 246 Slow Burn (creamy nude rose)
– Too Faced Cosmetics Melted Matte Liquified Matte Long Wear Lipstick in Queen B (matte soft mauve)
– Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in 1993 Comfort Matte (medium brown)

dscf4808

A few of these are too light and make me look like I’m dying. However, they make a great base colour for using bold eyeshadows as lip sticks (ex purples, greens etc).

My current addiction is lip colours. I used to be afraid of using them up, but now I have so many there’s no excused NOT to use them!

Sephora Birthday Gift 2017

My birthday is coming up so couldn’t resist ordering some stuff from Sephora so I could get my birthday gift. I thought this year’s choices were pretty cool. I chose the Tarte set that came with a nude lip gloss and blush.

Guerlain Black Lashdress Mascara

I compulsively bought this Guerlain mascara because the wand was cute.

dscf4812

I feel like I can transform into a Sailor Scout if I yelled “Mercury Star Power!” or something.

dscf4813

The wand itself has a dress-like shape. It makes it easy to get every lash, including the bottom ones. I like that the mascara was not clumpy, it’s super light so I forget I’m wearing it. It’s good for volume and lengthening. It holds my curl too (but I do use a lash curler). It also has a weirdly pleasant smell, which I haven’t really noticed before in a mascara. I would definitely buy this again!

SHANY Persian Blue

I’ve always wanted to try a dark coloured lip stick so I picked Shany’s Persian Blue on Amazon. It looked super dark in the tube.

I think my lips are dark and probably require some concealer before bright colours because it turned out more purple. I think I still look beauty goth though!

Cyber Monday Beauty Splurges

December 2, 2016Beauty, Shopping1 Comment

Ok, I am totally the worst for spending too much on make-up lately. I couldn’t resist grabbing some of Sephora’s holiday kits on Cyber Monday. Plus, they had 4 free sample bags to choose from with purchases over $25 (but let’s be real everything at Sephora is more than $25).

I grabbed The Best Bite Redux, a collection of 4 lip crayons and Smash Box’s Try It Kit. They were both awesome deals with products worth more than the set cost. Plus, I got I chose the Sephora Day-of-Soirée Swag Sample Bag which had perfumes, masks and creams for staying young!

Now off to decide my holiday party face for tonight!

As you can see from my previous posts, I love makeup. I’ve always been obsessed with buying and collecting make-up.

Last week for Black Friday, I bought a bunch of new cosmetics and then realized I needed to reorganize my collection so that it made more sense. I went to Muji and bought more storage units to match the ones I had. Now everything is organized and easily accessible. I have individual drawers for eyeshadows, lipsticks, bronzer/blushes, brushes, mascara and general face stuff.

Touch of pink #selfie

A post shared by Tiana Feng (@tianafeng) on Nov 28, 2016 at 10:27am PST

I’m a feminist and I think everybody should feel great in their own skin, but if a lipstick, eye colour or whatever makes you personally feel like you can take on the world, I’m all for it. That’s what make-up is like for me. It makes me a little more confident to go about my daily life, like the ultimate placebo.

It is also a relaxing and fun routine for me in the morning. 5-10 minutes where I can myself up but also not worry too much about what the day will bring.

I also love art but often don’t have much time to sit down and draw. Makeup allows me to creatively work on the most organic canvas of all, the human face.

SHANY Eyeliner

SHANY had a sale so along with the eyeshadows in my previous post, I picked up their set of 12 Gel Eyeliners.

dscf4238

The 12 colours are beautiful. There are some funky ones like orange and a pale green but I think they’d be great for doing some detailed artwork on the eyes (imagine leopard print eyelids).

dscf4246

The colours are super pigmented. It didn’t take much for these swatches on my arm. It is also smudge and waterproof so my eye artwork can stay on all day.

I’m excited to play with these and do some fun things!

SHANY Eyeshadow

One of my Black Friday finds was this SHANY Loose Powder Glitter Eyeshadow Kit.

dscf4240

It came in 40 bright colours with two complimentary brushes. SHANY is a company I discovered on Amazon that has affordable products that don’t test on animals.

dscf4245

Here is a sample swatch of green and orange. I didn’t use that much but it is already so bright and sparkly! The bonus of loose eyeshadows is that not only can I use them for eyes, but anywhere else that needs splash of colours. Mixing it with lip gloss or chap will give me fun shades of lip colours or add a little splash in nail polish or mascara.

Now I’m ready for sparkly Christmas parties.
