This entry is part Untrieds and part review – featuring the Make Up For Ever (MUFE) Artist Shadows. I purchased a 3-pan customizable palette in early December last year to redeem my Sephora VIB $20 off coupon (minimum purchase of $50). I really wanted to maximize the coupon’s value – I had to spend just $50 so that effectively, I was getting 40% off. Lo and behold, a filled 3-pan MUFE palette is exactly $50. Take THAT, Sephora – you only got $30 out of me!
Then, during Boxing week, the MUFE Studio Case Eye Shadow Palette went on clearance sale for $45 – the regular price was $69 (the product value is actually $107). I had been wanting this set since it launched but was talked out of it… at 35% off the regular retail price (and 58% off the value of the product!), I couldn’t resist! This palette was a great way to add to my collection without too much commitment. It sat in my Untrieds pile until this month. I wore both the full sized and palette eye shadows interchangeably for 2 full weeks to see how they performed.

Happy Chinese New Year!
In honour of Chinese New Year today, I thought it would be fun to feature some awesome red makeup in my stash (I momentarily considered posting this red-themed makeup entry in time for Valentine’s Day, but ugh, Valentine’s Day…)
No Brushes Required
I recently stayed overnight at a hotel and wanted to pack the most minimal amount of cosmetics with me. I really didn’t even want to fuss with makeup brushes so I decided to pack only makeup that I can apply without the use of makeup brushes.
Empties: January 2015
My first ever empties post, how exciting! This may not be a monthly occurrence since it takes some time to finish full sized products. I’ll try to save up enough items to warrant an entry devoted to showcasing empty bottles and jars (before they go into the recycling bin!) Likely, my empties will predominantly feature skincare, hair care, mascaras and maybe face makeup – it’ll be a unicorn sighting when I do finish up a colour makeup item (but it has been known to happen!) Personally I find empties videos / posts to be valuable because the reviewer has used up an entire product, so they have a comprehensive experience of the product’s performance
