From environment friendly shopping bags and goodies to cruelty free makeups, truly the fashion and beauty industry have gone more responsible! This is actually the first time I uncover an eye shadow palette that is 100% vegan (no animal byproducts whatsoever at all).

Smashbox Palettes for PETA are two sets of vegan eyeshadow palettes in a pretty compact case that’s formulated for superb blendability and has never been tested on animals. It includes a mirror and a double-ended brush for blending, lining and smudging.

Palletes

Earth Mother - shimmery beige, taupe, chocolate brown
In the Wild – shimmery pale gold, pink champagne, seige green

These gorgeous palettes are coming soon, so watch out ladies! Check http://www.smashbox.com/PALETTES-FOR-PETA for more details.

This is perfect should you want to create a smoky, dark and dramatic look without losing the sophisticated seductress in you. (more…)

It’s the perfect powder-foundation for me. I’m not really into liquid foundies since they’re too thick and heavy on my skin (my skin type’s oily) especially in a tropical weather I’m

However, I got a teensy complaint about it. Though MAC Studiofix is designed to be applied as dry, I wonder how it still tends to build up even if I apply it as is? I don’t actually wet my sponge and rarely retouch my makeup. If I do retouch, I make sure to blot my oilies first with the use of oil blotting sheets and then dab a bit of powder on my face. (more…)
