BEAUTY EDIT: THE 5 MINUTE CATEYE

Country Road jumper 

I admit I don't stray from the classic winged liner very often, but there are times which call for something a little different. And if you're looking for something simple & easy then you've come to the right place.

Opting for a shadow and/or a pencil can really take no extra time at all. 

1. Nars eyeshadow duo in Kuala Lumpur

or 

Mac eyeshadow in Violet Star

After eye primer just sweep the eyeshadow all across the lid and blend the edges with a clean brush, slowly building up the intensity to your liking. I have been loving the warm browns and purples at the moment which have been a nice alternative to your classic smokey shades.

2. Clarins Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Black

Then use a waterproof pencil eyeliner, and draw a feline flick making sure to also draw in between the lashes. Take a small brush and blend it out and go back in with your eyeliner if you need to. Pencil is a lot more forgiving than liquid liner - a great option if you need a quick make up fix!

3. YSL Babydoll mascara
or
Benefit They're Real mascara

Whack on a few coats fo your favouriate mascara and you're good to go !

I love going to a city for the second or third time because its  a great way to find atypical tourist things to do. One of these places I was recommended by a friend was the High Line - an old train line about 2 km long on the west side of Manhattan. Such a beautiful and scenic walk, with graffiti and food along the way.

And of course when in New York, one has to pay a visit to the shopping hot spot of SoHo. Popped in into one my favourite stores, & Other Stories where I picked up these sunnies for a bargain & some jewellery. Isn't that Reformation jumpsuit to die for?!

BEAUTY EDIT: THE RED LIP

So it has been a while since my last Beauty Edit but what better way to return but with a classic red lip.

I was lucky enough to get a hold of the limited edition Nars Digital World lip pencil set with five mini lip pencils - a perfect way to try different colours and finishes. Seeing as the Nars lip pencils have proven to be a cult beauty product for many, I thought it was about time to give them a go !

A definite stand out, and one of the most popular, was Cruella - a bombshell red. (See my latest GRWM for the Descanso, a nude colour) Now Cruella is not quite a true red, but slightly deeper/blue toned which matches my skin tone perfectly. It has a very matte finish, meaning it will not budge all day (and I'm sure survive a few smooches), however, it does rely on a good exfoliation and moisturisation before application.

A lipstick can be a really simple, no brainer way to make your outfit or brighten up your face and makeup.
