Jill Stuart's Reviews and Swatches

i decided to 'play' with my new JS makeup this morning and i fall deeper in love with them :D

first, the Mix Blush Compact in 03 Coral Glow. i've numbered the color cause it seems that JS doesn't have names for them invidually.

okay, i'm officially suck at doing swatch but i'm trying right? the picture doesn't show the color well, it's far more obvious in real life.

color #1 isn't quite pigmented on my skin, but i think it would be great for highlighting and of course as soft pink blusher for fair skin.
#2, #3 and #4 are quite pigmented but i love #2 the most cause i like peach color. As the #3 is more to orange. of course love #4 too, who doesn't love pink blusher right?
overall, i'm really glad i've chosen this color. i'm in love with it, yeah i totally am.

Rating: 5/5 (that is how much i love it :D)

Illuminance Eyes in 01 Jewel Dress

i was debating with myself to get the Illuminance Eyes in 01 Jewel Dress, 02 Fantastic Light or 03 Brocade Gold. But decided to get this one as i love to have a purple and pink eye shadow.
but after i've got it i just saw that it looks nothing near purple (#1). well, maybe a little bit but i was fooled by the color on the website. this is a risk to buy when you didn't see the real one though. here is the color on Jill Stuart's website:

but glad to have the rest of the colors though. they are all very shimmery and for me it will be over the top to wear it on day but will be great for night.

Rating: 3/5 (don't trust the color on the website)

Jelly Eye N Color in 10 Vintage Deco

when i first touch it, i was really surprised that the texture does feel like jelly. i thought that Jelly Eye is just a name for it. and as so many people have said, you just have to dap a little and the color will payoff. it's really shimmery and pigmented.

Rating: 4/5 (too shimmery for me)

And a few days ago i received a love package from Julie of Pop Champagne, i won her giveaway few weeks ago. She's really a sweetheart and i totally love her blog. it's always great to catch up juicy gossips from her :D. go check out her blog if you haven't!

the love package and the sweet note

GS&P necklace and hairclips, elf Liquid Eyeshadow, elf Lip color trio and sweets! of course those sweets are long gone by now :p

i really love her necklace. the picture doesn't do justice at all, it's far more beautiful in real life.

That's it for this post. Have a nice day to you all! :)

Thanks & Jill Stuart Haul

Please enter my giveaway if you haven't! Check my sidebar :)

I'm really touched by all the responses on my giveaway. i've got more than 100 entries now (of course including the extra entries :D)! you guys have really made my day :). i was surprised too when most of you commented about my layout. it makes me feel really glad that i'd chosen this layout and most likely i'll keep this layout longer or even forever! FYI, i didn't design this layout by myself. i got this from a free blog template website, you can check them out at the bottom of this page :)

some of you also said my font color is not easy to read, i'll take your advice and want to change it to a better one but i don't know what color will suit this layout and more visible or easier to read. which one do you think? (or other color? just tell me)

1. this?
2. this?
3. this?
4. this?

5. this?

*edit*

as most of you voted #2, i've changed it to the color and changed the font type too. i think it'll be easier to read now :) Thanks for voting!

i've stated to leave just one comment on the giveaway post, for those multiple comments i've deleted them but i still count the extra entries so don't worry :)

also for not entry related comment, please don't leave the comment on the giveaway post. just cbox me, i always check them and will reply.

i'll try my best to make my blog better, so if there's any comment or advice for me just shoot it out :D

now for the Jill Stuart haul :D. you guys must be wondering where did i got my JS stuffs. well, two weeks ago my sister went to hongkong and of course i won't let her go without buying stuffs for me :D.

wanna see what's inside it?

Ta da...

it's not much and i'm still lemming for their other products. my fund is kinda limited, that's why... but i will get them next time :D

Mix Blush Compact - 03 Coral Glow


Illuminance Eyes - 01 Jewel Dress


Jelly Eye Color N - 10 Vintage Deco

it was so hard to choose when i didn't see the real one by myself. but luckily i choose these and i don't regret it. they are all really pretty and nice scented. the eye palette and jelly eye are very sparkly. i'm not a fan of sparkly stuffs but i love them! i couldn't stop staring these :D i know i sound weird...

so sorry i didn't swatch them, i can't bear to ruin their prettiness yet...

Back to Hometown Sum-Up

I'm back to jakarta now! Well, actually i've backed since two days ago. I really feel like a bad blogger for neglecting my blog. So to make this up, i'm going to post my back to hometown sum-up!

First, let's see my little haul...

Queen Magazine, Jill Stuart emook & traincase, Fringe holder, Nose up, Face up roller...

Well, actually the fringe holder, nose up and face up roller are ordered before i got back to my hometown. Luckily the seller is also from my hometown so i got her to send these to my home. As for the Queen Mag and Jill Stuart emook, i had my cousin to get those two from Singapore.

My Dad's birthday is on the same day with Mooncake Festival, here is his birthday cake..

It's a Blueberry topping cake, very yummy!!!

I also got my first ever nail art, i don't usually do my nail but my sister was going to do her nail so i was tempted to do it too... ;p. I was using fake nail and i really regret it, i couldn't do anything with that fake nail. though, I really like the look of my nails....

And now, it's the Wedding!!! (I've told you guys i was going to attend my sister's wedding)
Actually this is just an engagement party, the real big day is on next week here in Jakarta.
for some reasons, i'm not going post my personal pictures, so this will be just the overall things... hope you guys don't mind =)
