How to Contour Cheeks with Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher in Santal

Hello beauties,

Late night, no football match, I had a quick sleep and awake when my hubby came home after he was caught in traffic for 3,5 hours. Right now I lost my appetite to go back to sleep (hell, unlikely). So, let's begin the review of my new baby. New baby that I just bought last week and I am so in love with it!

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher comes in many shades. These baked blush are so pigmented and provide long lasting finish. I had one before in shade Tomette, a beautiful terracotta shade that compliments my medium warm skin. When considering buying this baby, I was looking for a blush for contouring purpose, as I feel a little bit chubbier lately (don't ask me whether I am gaining more weight or not, I have no guts to walk into the scale, seriously). I need something that can magically slimming down my face. I eventually picked Santal, in English it means Sandalwood.

As you can see in the picture above, this little round pot blusher is quite pricey (around USD 13), but, I never had any doubt on the quality and how cute and sturdy the packaging is, Plus, there's a brush and mirror inside. The brush is small, but the bristle is short and dense. It is just perfect to create a contour under the cheekbones. The color is soooo versatile. You can see in my swatch below that even it looks a little bit dark in the pan, it will give a nice glowing bronze-y flush on my cheeks.

My take on this product:

• Sturdy and all-in-one packaging. Mess-free.
• Pigmentation is great
• Good staying power up to 12 hours
• It has shimmer but barely seen in application. What you see is only subtle glowing flush.
• It comes with many shades that will suit from light to darker skin
• The price is a little pricey for a drugstore product
• It has rosy scent. For those who are allergic to scented make up probably would not like it. But I don't mind at all :)

My overall score of this product is 4.4/5.0

Kid's Birthday Party and Elsa Inspired Look

15 June 2014, my daughter was turning three. I was drowned in the preps for the whole week, that's why I haven't posted anything on my blog lately. For the birthday theme, she chose Frozen over Minions and other Disney's Princesses. She's so into Let-It-Go euphoria :D

To match with her wardrobe and the blue-themed decoration, I was suddenly inspired by Queen Elsa's look. Yes, that pale-skinned, light smokey eyes, and the wine-y lips. Before we start, let's take a look how Queen Elsa looks alike in the movie. Though I guess, many ladies here have already created Elsa's make up before, when joining a MUC, complete with the blonde wig and her braided-hair.

Queen Elsa of Arandelle

The look that I want to show here is super minimalist, as I only had 10 minutes time to prepare myself (and spending the rest to prepare my 'princess'). My daughter likes Anna more than Elsa, because Anna is cute and sassy, so I think she's easier to be remembered by kids.

Here's the quick 10 minutes look:

The cold never bothered me anyway

For the first time in forever
