Looks of the year!

With the new year round the corner, I thought I'd share with you guys some of my favourite looks from the year, which you can recreate for your new year parties! I'll post links to youtube videos of gurus doing the makeup as well so you guys can recreate the looks. Have fun!

Classy, beautiful and fit for all occasions. I loved her makeup.

Chanel Christmas 2011



I thought this was one of Chanel's best Christmas collections. Their Christmas stuff are usually centered around the eye makeup but this year, it was more about the skin, lips and highlights. Very pretty. Plus, I'm a huge fan of gold makeup so that was an extra little something special for me.

J Lo's On The Floor



I have to agree with People magazine on J Lo; she is absolutely stunning. It takes more than makeup to look like this - skin care, diet and lots of exercise. That shall be my resolution for 2012!

Kate Middleton's Wedding Makeup



I was on the fence with this one, but I had to include her in the list anyway. Kudos first of all for doing your own makeup Kate. She likes the black pencil on the lash line and none on the waterline thing, which is pretty hard to pull off. I find that when I do that, it makes me look pretty flat. But for those of you who loved it - check out the videos below.

YSL's Spring 2011 Makeup



I don't remember there being a big hype about this collection, but I thought it was something nice and different. I didn't think YSL would lash out with a pink eyeshadow look for spring/summer. I'm pretty yellow toned so I have to be careful when wearing bright pinks because they aren't very flattering on me. But - this was too pretty to pass on. I've attached a video by RAEview which I don't think is the best, but have fun with this in your own way. Just make sure you pair your pink with a black eyeliner and pump up the lashes. Pinks are always good for parties.

Victoria's Secret Makeup



This will be in my favourites list every year! It's all about fresh, simple and pretty makeup. They always have a very girly look that is flattering on anyone! Pinks, browns and highlights are the key to this look. Tanya from Pixi2woo does really nice renditions of the girls makeup, check out the two below.

Cheryl Cole's Elle Cover by Lisa Eldridge



The black and white pictures from this shoot caught my eye more than the coloured ones but this is the perfect example of a black smokey eye. Party worthy.

Nicole Sherzinger



She's been the talk of the town since her debut as a judge on The X Factor this year. Love her or hate her, you gotta admit - she's hell beautiful. Her makeup and hair are always perfect and her outfits are to die for. And if you notice, she wears minimal pieces of accessories but they are all gorgeous and over the top. I had to include her in the list!

Mila Kunis Golden Globe Awards 2011

Her Vera Wang dress and simple makeup were a hit at the Golden Globes. Her makeup was by Lancome and done by makeup artist Tracey Levy, who does Mila's makeup for most of the big events. She looks great with coral and the simplicity of the makeup was a plus for me.

Clarisonic!

Hey guys!

So I BOUGHT A CLARISONIC! I bought it at the beginning of the month but I wanted to use it for at least 2 weeks before I review it. It's been about two weeks and guys, this thing is AMAZING.

I bought mine from Sephora for SGD$370. They only carry one version of it which is the Clarisonic Plus. It comes with a sensitive brush for your face, a body brush, trial sizes of the Refreshing Gel Cleanser, Gentle Hydro Cleanser and Nourishing Care Cleanser and a trial size of the Refining Skin Polish. If you buy it from Clarisonic.com, you'll also get a travel bag and body serum with it.  

 It is a pricey product and to be honest, I contemplated for months before getting it cause it's so expensive. But now that I've been using it, I notice such a difference in my skin. I use a lot of foundation and although I do clean off all my make up, I still feel like my skin isn't clean and that there is a lot of build up. The Clarisonic really cleanses everything out of your pores and leaves your skin much smoother and clearer. I used to have these bumps on my face from product build up and I used to get these small white spots all over my forehead. I don't have them anymore at all!

I use a powder cleanser so I'll wash my face with the cleanser for about 10 seconds or so, then I'll put a bit of the powder onto the Clarisonic itself and use it for the next 1 minute. It goes 20s on your forehead, 20s on your nose and chin and 10s on each cheek. It's also made my skin less oily. Because my pores are all cleaned out, they produce less oil and I find my skin staying fresh for longer. Trust me guys, 10 days and you'll see a stark difference. I can't live without it at all now.

My skin feels very rejuvenated and I feel like my skin care now works better because my pores are cleaned out and the product can really penetrate my face. It's gentle enough to use twice a day but just to be careful, I use it on the lowest setting. The body brush also works great. It goes on for 3 minutes and you can just use it like you're using a loofah, only that it's working 10 times better.

The Clarisonic is fully waterproof so don't worry. Yeah so, I know it's really expensive, but if you ever feel like treating yourselves to a little something special, get this. You won't regret it!

Love, Tasha
