We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Uhm Mostly Im Always on Livejournal EyeshadowSluts and Mac cosmetics For Looks 🙂
And Im forever adapting looks from xsparkage.com and doedeere.
Anything that inspires me really.
I actually keep my makeup professional and simple almost all of the time. I usually try new looks when I just buy new makeup and try to encorporate it into my collection. While I like flashy looks on other people, I don’t think it suits my style, personality, or profession to do much beyond neutrals or pinks haha! I guess I do a smokey eye every now and then 🙂
Guilting myself into using different products I own. I tell myself that I’m throwing money away and that there’s people who never get to even step foot at Sephora and I’m just letting products collect dust. 😉
I look through my “look folder”. When I’m surfing the net and I see a look that I really like, I’d usually save the picture in my folder. so when I’m out of ideas, I look at those pictures!
Sometimes I’ll also create looks based on a particular eyeshadow or eyeliner that I really wanna wear.
Sometimes I take an eyeshadow I haven’t worn for a while and try it on the back of my hand with other colours to get some new colour combinations. I also get ideas for new looks from make-up sites and tutorials. When I’m buying something new from the Mac shop, I sometimes like to ask a sales advisor for colour combination suggestions, as they often come up with combinations I haven’t thought of.
I usually log onto youtube and the tutorials inspire me a lot!
