Lookbook #3 – Zombie Smoke

May 5th, 2010 § 2 Comments

Thought I forgot about last week’s lookbook entry, right? Nah, I was just too caught up with other things. Anyways, last week I ran out of my usual daily contact lenses, which means having to fall back on my coloured lenses. I hadn’t used my gray ones before, so decided to give them a whirl and was happily surprised!

They gave me this ghostly look, I loved it! Going to be perfect for some future costumes I can see :) Having coloured contacts that actually work on me is rare (dark natural eye colours) so I was pretty stoked when I saw these on me :) Twas inspired to try a semi-vampireish / zombie look, I think I came out looking more tired than anything else, but I figured it wasn’t a terrible attempt :)

Review: Giorgio Armani – Luminous Silk Foundation

March 16th, 2010 § Comments?

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Pros

  • Great coverage
  • Very easy to blend
  • Rich formula, a little goes a long way and versatile
  • Feels lightweight
  • Easy pump application

Cons

  • Very expensive

Price:$98AU
Where: Visit the counter at David Jones.

My friend Sheila recommended this foundation on her weblog, and thank goodness she did. Out of all the foundations I’ve tried, this has got to be my favourite. I applies like a dream, very light and can easily be layered (give each layer a few minutes to dry). This is great because I absolutely can’t stand foundation that make me feel cakey or bogged down.

2-3 pumps is enough to cover my entire face, but since I generally don’t wear full foundation everyday (only for photo shoots) I’ve ended up using this as an under eye concealer on days I’ve feeling drained or need an extra lift.

I love that this bottle comes with a pump, making it easy to control the amount of product I need. The best part is it comes with a lid, so any foundation still caught in the nozzle never dries out, no wastage!

The only downside is the price, it’s extremely expensive. Luckily for me, I bought my bottle around mid 2008 and it is still as good as new (I know liquid foundations should be throw out every 6 months, but it seems perfectly fine to me!), and I’m not even half way through the bottle yet. But if I were to wear foundation everyday, I’d be inclined to search for a cheaper alternative. If you know of any, feel free to let me know :)

For the curious, my shade is 4 – light sand, which matches my skin tone perfectly.
