Romantic Makeup | featuring Cle de Peau, Tom Ford, SK-II + NEW Velour Lashes

I was inspired by all the 'romantic makeup' photos I saw on Instagram and Pinterest recently to create a tutorial dedicated to this new trend! My interpretation of the look is perfect for date night, especially if it is a special occasion. Your eyes will sparkle as much as your personality!

I had been flooded with requests to use the Tom Ford Seductive Rose eyeshadows in a tutorial since featuring it in my Fleur Fantasty pictorial here, so I took advantage of this video to showcase the beautiful glitter textures. I used brushes for application, but try using the pads of your clean fingertips to avoid fall out. I also featured a slew of Cle de Peau, since it is one of my favorite brands but haven't previously featured much color. Cle de Peau eyeshadows are very soft and subtle, so they are excellent for those who struggle with blending or for those who work in conservative/professional settings.

Last but not least, Velour Lashes recently released two brand new styles. I chose to "You're My Wing Woman" because it is the more natural of the two. Most of my readers and viewers know that I love flared lashes so these updated styles are right up my alley! I highly recommend both.

TRAVEL: My Epic Asia Exclusives Beauty HAUL!

Judging by the list below, I lost all inhibition but left no room for regrets! It was my first time abroad so I was a little overwhelmed by the incredibly vast selection in Singapore, where makeup counters are aplenty and luxury seems to be the standard for beauty. I had saved up for months, so I was in shopping heaven with the multiple department stores [Takashimaya, Tang's, Isetan, etc.] and took full advantage of the situation. I must also thank my lovely friend Leanne for guiding me though the maze of malls and for treating me to such delicious food!

There were also several products I did not have time to include, mostly because they are not exclusives and are more easily accessible here in the United States. Pictured above is the new YSL Souffle D'Eclat Loose Powder in 3 ($60 USD) and the Summer 2014 Guerlain Sun Celebration Terracotta Bronzer and Blush Palette ($76 USD). 

The Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte Lipstick in PK 376 became a bestseller due to a Korean actress who wore the color in a popular Korean drama, and it sold out completely. I, however, was lucky enough to spot it at the Narita Airport's Duty-Free cosmetics store in Japan! It was unfortunately obscured by all the other products on my desk, so I was not able to include it in the video.. my apologies!

The other products, like the Shu Uemura Premium a/i Cleansing Oil — can be ordered online — and the Clarins Water Comfort One-Step Cleansing Water ($35 USD) is available at department stores. Last but not least, the Lancome Absolu Essence/Serum Foundation in 130 Ivoire is another Asia exclusive that I had to cut out due to time constraints. I have heard hit and miss reviews of this product, but it is one of the few full coverage serum foundations available! I will keep you updated if any of you are interested xo
