Fafi Week: Day 3 – Fafi Eyes 1 FOTD

February 27th, 2008 by Lilan

Okay kids, we’re halfway through our Fafi looks. This one is my absolute favorite, because it suits me perfectly – totally natural, yet sassy! It just proves how versatile the Fafi Eyes 1 quad is – LOVE it!

I originally wanted to do a pinky eye, but when I applied Pink Venus over Perky paint pot, I was like, whoa, Holy Pink, Batman! So I patted Howzat over Pink Venus on just the lower lids to create a slighty smoky eye, with a fun, pink twist. This look was super easy to do and I know it’s a combo I’ll wear over and over again.

Eyes:
- Fafi Eyes 1 Vanilla (brow highlight)
- Fafi Eyes 1 Pink Venus (all over lid and crease)
- Fafi Eyes 1 Howzat (lower lid)
- Fafi Perky Paint Pot (base)
- Technakohl liner in Black
- Cover Girl Lash Blast in Black (2 coats)

Cheeks:
- Fafi Hipness

Lips:
- Fafi lipstick in High Top
- Fafi lipglass in Sugar Trance

shu uemura Spring 2008: REBIRTH

February 26th, 2008 by Lilan

Just looking at this photo makes me want spring to arrive right now! It’s fresh, colorful, and so fun. I’m not a wearer of pastel colors on the regular, but shu uemura’s REBIRTH collection just evokes so much playfulness, I can’t help but be intrigued. You know, I can (and did) wear green eyeshadow too! And hopefully someday to this effect.

The colors in the collection are vibrant and refreshing. REBIRTH is aptly named after nature and the idea that everything is in bloom during the spring season – new, green and fresh from the winter.

REBIRTH is also the last collection that Mr. Uemura worked before his passing last December. The eyeshadows and blushes will feature a motif that he drew himself, signifying the budding growth of life during the spring season. This alone would make this a must-have collection for makeup addicts everywhere.

Keep reading after the jump for complete REBIRTH collection details.

Fafi Week: Day 2 – Fafi Eyes 2 FOTD

February 26th, 2008 by Lilan

My wardrobe is extremely basic. I have lots of blacks and grays that I wear all year ’round and only update my closet seasonally with a couple pieces of color here and there. So when I opened up my closet today – I immediately gravitated towards this green sweater that I only usually wear when springtime rolls around. And so, I let it became my inspiration for today’s FOTD.

I used Cash Flow as a base all over my lids and with every stroke of my brush – I fell more in love with paint pots. The texture is creamy and is super easy to apply onto my eyes.

I thought You’re Fresh in the Fafi Eyes 2 quad would complement my green sweater nicely, so I decided I’d try to use all of the colors in the quad to see what kind of look I could come up with.

As I mentioned in my Fafi haul post, I was a little scared of Shockwave, so I just used a little bit above my crease and on the outer third of my lids, careful to not make it too bright. I finished off with Bold As Gold as a browbone highlight and Prankster on my lower lashline. Prankster is really pretty and the texture is nice for a more matte shadow and I think I’m going to wear it tomorrow!

I really love the lip combo as well. It came out a pretty and girly pink shade and Sugar Trance adds just the perfect amount of shimmer to my pout. I think I’m going to need to snag a backup tube of the lipglass because it’s definitely becoming a favorite!

Eyes:
- Fafi Eyes 2 Bold As Gold (brow highlight)
- Fafi Eyes 2 Shockwave (outer lid, above crease)
- Fafi Eyes 2 You’re Fresh (all over lid)
- Fafi Cash Flow Paint Pot (base)
- Fafi Eyes 2 Prankster (lower lashline)
- Cover Girl Lash Blast in Black (2 coats)

Cheeks:
- Fafi Hipness

Lips:
- Fafi lipstick in Utterly Frivolous
- Fafi lipglass in Sugar Trance
