EOTD: Esprique Precious C-4 + Mini-haul

Hey gals! Here, finally, is my look using the C-4 palette! It's nothing too grand, although I tried to pack on more shadow, thinking that it'll show up more in the photos - of course, I once again underestimated the washing-out abilities of my camera. *SIGH* I tried taking photos from different angles to get the shimmer to show up... IRL, the shadows are beautiful - shimmery, pigmented, yet understated.

C-4 palette under indoor lighting.


Everything I used on my eyes. The right-most shadow trio is actually from DAISO!! And it was only $2~!!! I have to say, DAISO $2-dollar shadows are better than a lot of American drug-store shadows... I used the top cream color to highlight my brow.


Yellow-green all over lid up to crease + lower lash line. Green in outer corner, and blended up. Dark green liner for upper lash line. Sparkly cream shadow dabbed on middle of the lid. I used a bit of the DAISO pink shadow in between my crease and brow, just for fun. Here under intense indoor lighting. Shiny lids~ yay! I love "wet"-looking lids!


And I was finally able to buy my HG foundation again - Vincent Longo Water Canvas Creme-to-Powder. Unfortunately, Sephora no longer carries VL, so I had to buy it from ecrater.com... (WTH?!) This is my HG because it's looks SOOO airbrushed on my skin - likely because it's composed of 75% Microwater. YAY~ ~


I already used this a few times - Soft Amber is a perfect match for me. I used to be almost 10 shades darker!! This is why one must always use sunscreen!! SPF1,000,000 PA++++++++, all day every day, yo.


I watched Harry Potter yesterday! Wow, it was SOO long! 2.5 hours in an over-AC-ed theater = torture for my sandaled feet.


I think HP movies are made only for HP readers. I cannot imagine a non-reader trying to watch this movie - holy confusingness! Even if they watched all the previous ones, they'd most likely still be lost.

    i don't speak it, but i understand it. it was the language in my family's house that they spoke most out of the 3. i just never caught on but understood it. my neice is the same way, she doesn't speak it but she understands it :P
