E.L.F's Blending Eye Brush

By: Michelle


I admit, I tend to be lazy when it comes to washing my make-up brushes. As a result, I often struggle to find clean eyeshadow brushes. Recently I have purchased E.L.F's Blending Eye Brush. This is the first time I've ever used a brush, or anything from E.L.F. I've always been curious about this brush as I've seen a lot of youtubers use it. Finally, I got my hands on it, and I'm quite happy that I did!

I've used the brush to apply eyeshadow on my crease, and to blend out my eyeshadow. It does it's job, and does not irritate my eyes. I'm actually surprised by how soft the bristles are, as I was expecting it to be made of lower quality. In fact, I've returned and purchased another one for a back-up.

The brush was only $3 from K-mart, however if you live in the U.S. I believe it is only $1 - which is such a good deal. I think purchasing this E.L.F eyeshadow brush is a good idea if you're looking for a cheap alternative to add to your collection. Give it a try, it won't disappoint or put a big hole in your wallet.

Much love,
Michelle.

Swizzling it Up - Taylor's 1989

By: Diemmy




Some of you may or may not know but I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift! I love her music, her style, her attitude and basically just everything about her. She’s the record that I wake up to, cry to and dance to when things are down. Recently, she released a new album 1989 and I just had to share to you my thoughts about it. With the release being on the 27th of October in America, this meant that I had to wait till the 28th to get my hands on it here in Australia. On the way to Uni I stopped at a CD store. However, I was super sad as I was unable to listen to it straight away since I had no CD player. And when I did… It was everything I expected, and even more.

I must say, this album is a really big shift from all her previous albums, but it’s definitely something new for the better. That being said, I still love all of her other albums just as equally as this one. Not only was the content of the album on point but… –omg, I’m just going to shake it- the packaging was just WOW! I got the deluxe version and I could not have been happier. The deluxe version included polaroids with handwritten lyrics and excuse me for fangirling but in all her photos… she looked so GORGEOUS!

Okay, so enough of the fangirling, moving onto the content. As I mentioned, this album is definitely different. It gives off more of pop and bouncy vibe compared to her old country style. Nonetheless, she did not disappoint. My favourite three songs on the album have to be Blank Space, Clean and for the third place… I’m tossing and turning between This Love and You Are In Love. Actually, who am I kidding, I love the whole album! Approximately just over three weeks since the release date and it’s the album that I can play on repeat again, again and again!


. . . . . . . .

What do you think about Taylor’s new album? And if you don’t listen to Taylor…do you have an artist that you can’t get over?

Much love,
Diemmy

P.S. I am currently listening to 1989 – NP:I Know Places.

Dreaming Out Loud

By: Diemmy








Ello there everyone! 
First and foremost I must apologise for my lack of postings and contributions toward mdnblog for the past few weeks. These past three weeks have been the most stressful and craziest moments of my life due to being physically, emotionally and mentally draining from Uni exams and pressure. However, the pressure is now temporarily over, marking the beginning of my big three-month break! As a come back blog post, I would like to share with you something that gives me kick of motivation, and makes me happy from time to time.

When I renovated my room last year, I had an idea of having a bed vanity and by searching through various blogs and websites, I decided to have my own take and this happened to be the outcome.

♥ Dream Letters
As cliché as it sounds, the word dream has a very impactful meaning towards my life. From day to day, whether it is through sleep or consciously, I think about my dreams. It could be a crazy dream from last night’s sleep, or my progression towards my dream in life – my goals.

♥ World Map
The world map is actually a 500-piece puzzle. I have always wanted to challenge myself to complete one of those big puzzles and I finally did it! After all the frustration and effort, including having to cut out the edges of the puzzle since it didn’t fit through the frame, I am really happy with it. However, I must admit I didn’t finish this puzzle myself – I had to make my friends suffer with me as well.

♥ Candles and Fairy Lights
I am a huge fan of candles! I love the way they can simply light up the room and not only that, they smell sensational, adding to that aromatic atmosphere. The fairy lights and the candles add that simple touch to the vanity as a whole!

. . . . . . . .

Do you have something in your room that makes you happy? Something that motivates you from time to time…?

Much love,
Diemmy.

Currently Loving: Hand Cream

By: Michelle

So I was in the Body Shop the other day, purchasing a gift for my cousin, when I stumbled upon this hand cream. I love hand creams and always carry one in my bag. So when I opened the lid, applied, and smelt this bad boy... it was love at first smell. I couldn't stop smelling it!

The hand cream is in the Strawberry flavour and it comes with 30 ml of product. The packaging is very sleek and pleasing to the eyes. It is light so it's very travel friendly. I bring this everywhere I go now. I love the texture of the cream. It's very light weight and does not feel sticky. Once I apply it, my hands feel so soft and smooth.

I definitely want to try out the other flavours, especially the mango! However, it seems to never be in stock when I go to the store. Such a shame... one day I will get my hands on those!

What is your favourite hand cream?

Much love,
Michelle.

Clio's Waterproof Pen Liner in Kill Brown

By: Michelle

I don't wear eyeliner on a daily basis, but when I do, I would whip out this holy grail product, Clio's Waterproof Pen Liner in Kill Brown. I also have this liner in the Kill Black version, but I thought I'll write a post about the brown instead.

Clio is known for their eyeliners, and I truly believe they live up to the high expectations and standards as this eyeliner is very long lasting. It truly lasts throughout the whole day, even when I am sweating. The reason why I purchased a brown liquid eyeliner is because it gives a more natural look compared to the black. So if you want an everyday natural eyeliner, purchase the brown one. In addition, the tip of the pen is very precise, making it very easy to draw the wings. With the precise tip, you can either draw a thin line or build it up to a thick one.

I can't think of anything negative about this eyeliner. I love it and will repurchase it if it ever runs out.

Much love,
Michelle.

Notebook Hoarding

By: Michelle


Hey guys,
I'm so sorry for the inconsistent posts. My life has been so crazy for the past month. I was bombarded with essays upon essays. Thankfully, I completed all of them last Friday, marking the end of my 2nd year at uni. However, this week continued to be even more intense because Yonghwa from CNBLUE was in Sydney. If you didn't know, I'm a die hard fan of CNBLUE. I was extremely... extremely lucky with my friend Sylvia, as we were able to watch Yonghwa film for two days (November 2nd-3rd). It was amazing... more than amazing... it was... everything that I wanted and more. I was really happy, and I still am... but now I'm in post-Yonghwa depression. I'm such a fangirl.

Nevertheless, life continues and I need to start getting stuff done. For instance, blog posts! For this post, I thought I would share with you my notebooks that I have in my collection. I love notebooks. I tend to purchase them even when I have quite a few at home, waiting to be used. I use notebooks for a number of things. Such as writing my blogging ideas, writing my lecture notes, planning out my work and writing my to-do list. With a nice notebook, it is a source of motivation for me. It just makes everything better. Is this the same with you?

In fact, right after publishing this post, I'm going to take one out and start jotting down blog posts or videos that I need to do. Reviews? Favourites? Clothing? Who knows...

Much love,
Michelle.
