OneDirection "This Is Us 3D" World Premiere: The Clothes

OK, so this is an ooold draft I'm trying to salvage. When I was in UK couple of months ago (August I fink?) I came across the photos from the OneDirection world premiere of something something (I'll get it right for the title) lol... But please, check out the clothes, oh the glorious clothes! I've always paid attention of what the boys are wearing, because they're awesome, that's why. Lol.


I'll have to confess I only know the names of two boys, Zayn and Harry. Zayn because he's hot (no pedo) and Harry because he's chums with T. Swift. I know there's a Liam, but I don't know which and the names of the last two escape me. PERDONAME!!




Now would you look at this beauty (the jacket!). It's the harness jacket by Lee Roach from his F/W 2013 collection. I remember clicking a link to Harvey Nicks website, that brought me to a similar jacket, but not exactly the same style pictured below. I really REALLY dig this jacket. I have a similar one by Zara without the leather part and the middle tie (the harness?) and apparently Pippa Middleton has one too, lol.

Seriously this jacket, is so so chic it hurts...to learn that the price is so damn expensive, unlike the pleather Topman jacket the next dude below is sporting.



Now, can you believe that this guy's wearing pleather? Yes, faux leather. Synthetic! To a red carpet premiere! I guess it's good for the animal lovers out there? But the jacket looks a million dollar. I like the biker/sporty-sleek combo.



I swear I have the link to Topman website that light your path to this jacket but it got lost in August so I can only show the picture I took from Topman website.



Now for this one, I kept the link in the draft so I can link where you can buy this cool varsity (hopefully) Saint Laurent Leather-Trimmed Wool-blend Varsity Jacket



Harry's shirt is Burberry Prorsum Heart Print Cotton Shirt, available in navy blue, deep claret and black & white. It's flirty, but not creepily so. Still acceptable and totally adorbs. In my opinion, Harry, most of the times, is the stylish-est of them all. And apparently he's worn it several times before the premiere! Re-using clothes FTW (only if you're a celebrity).


I'm not even going to talk about the dude with the capri pants and small jacket. Love his shoes and the pocket square, but that's it. No love for you.

Coastal Scents Black Friday Sale

I placed an order on Coastal Scents (17 individual brushes) just before I typed this post. I don't really do brush set, the only sets I have are Real Techniques and an old Estée Lauder GWP set from yonks ago. But the 50% sale was just too much!! I spent about 4 hours on the website before deciding on the chosen seventeen—fourteen, really. I bought backups for 2 brushes, the Pro Blending Fluff and the Classic Blender Crease Natural. I'm going to write a review post when the brushes arrive.

COASTAL SCENTS
50% entire website!!





This is my first Coastal Scents order. I don't think I need their massive palettes and their brush sets. But I really want to try their Hot Pots next.

NYX Cosmetics Mini Haul + Wet 'n' Wild Comfort Zone


I love NYX Cosmetics, they're affordable and some of their items are really really great. The shadows are the first single shadows I bought from NYX. Iced Mocha is dubbed as MAC's Satin Taupe dupe all over is internet. Naturally, I have to get it. I didn't plan to get Flamingo, hell, I didn't even know the shade existed until I Googled for NYX swatches. It's a beautiful purplish gold, almost duo chrome-y and probably will look better on fair skin? I have medium skin and I'm not sure how it will look on me. Hey, the heart wants what the heart wants!

The Round Lipsticks are repurchases except for Snow White. I need a in-yo-face red, I was actually going to buy NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella in Sephora's VIB Sale, but then I read some reviews that say it's a pain to sharpen the pencils, because they're soft and there's a lot of wastage.

  1. Single Eye Shadow Flamingo
  2. Single Eye Shadow Iced Mocha
  3. Slide On Pencil Brown Perfection
  4. Single Eye Shadow Silk
  5. Round Lipstick Snow White
  6. Black Label Lipstick Diva
  7. Kiss the Star Lipgloss Set
  8. Round Lipstick B52
  9. Round Lipstick Milan

I also bought Wet 'n' Wild Comfort Zone Palette. I finally gave in. I convinced myself that I don't need it but a comment on Temptalia website somehow assured me... And in the cart it went. I'm weak like that.

The lipgloss set was such a steal I think it's $10 for 3 lipglosses. The colors are Sugar Pie, Beige (Beige is the pink color), and Natural. I want to try NYX Black Label Lipstick, but the swatches of the Black Label always looked sheerer than the Round Lipstick, I like opaque colors but I thought I'd try one.

I love product photography, it's the reason why I'd rather put a collage of pics from NYX rather than posting my half-assed photos. It's 11 pm and my room lighting is far from perfect. I may post the real pictures of the haulage some time next week.


Cheers!

Sephora 2013 VIB Sale: Wishlist

Yello!

Tis the season to be jolly. And broke, apparently. So here's my carefully curated list for Sephora's 2013 VIB Sale 


I have Naked 2 and I'm so impressed, I decided to get its predecessor. Just after I placed my order on Sephora, I read the news on the blogosphere that Urban Decay is launching its third installment (fourth, if you count Naked Basics) of Naked palette. Apparently Sephora France accidentally sold Naked 3 too early and some people managed to buy them before Sephora pulled the palette off the shelves!

One lucky French blogger uploaded the swatches: Whee Confetti

2. LORAC Pro Palette - OUT OF STOCK

I'm still on the fence about this foundation. Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet+ is my fail-proof foundation. I like the coverage, the staying power and shade 35 matches perfectly with my post-summer skin. The kit contains the HD primer, HD powder and the kabuki brush as well. It's a great way to try the items before committing to the full sized products.



With the help of a beautiful elf in Denver, I managed to place an order on Sephora's website. Too bad the Hourglass palette is out of stock. As a matter of fact, all their individual Ambient Lighting Powders are out of stock as well. LORAC Pro Palette is also out of stock but I got mine at Ulta (yay!)
