I hope you all had a safe and happy holidays.  I decided to compose a list of my favourite beauty products of 2011, you know, to look back and then move forward =).  Without further ado, here's my list of the "Best of 2011".

I don't know if I have mentioned that I have a band before. Yes, a rock band, there are 5 of us and I'm the singer. We started only half a year ago because of a rock competition among a few competitor firms, Battle of the Bands. As a makeup fanatic, naturally, I want to look my best when I'm on stage. I associate rock and roll with heavier makeup, and I always go for smokey eyes. The thing is that I am not the best at doing smokey eyes makeup because of my eye shape. Frankly, I've seen smokey eyes attempt, which turn badly into panda eyes on celebrities who have similar eye shape with me. So I have always been afraid of these types of looks... that's until I found this palette.



Make Up For Ever Smokey Palette is a 8 colour eyeshadow palette that is specifically designed for users to achieve a smokey eye look using different colour combination. The quality of the eyeshadow in this palette is consistent with their single eyeshadows. This means they're pigmented and they stay on quite well with a primer. They're also buttery soft, but not too powdery, which didn't give me too much fallout when I apply these shadows.
