Make Up Lesson and Workshop

Readers have been asking me to recommend make-up classes. Many raised similar concerns about wanting to know how to properly apply, combine and match make-up with their
style.

I guess there's really no point in having great quality products if you don't know how to use them properly.

So, I recently attended an ettusais make up workshop to find out what it was all about.

During this highly interactive workshop you will learn how to create a flawless look as well as
create your own look. The girls and I learnt the tricks of make-up artists and how the right choice of colours, base care
and style combine to give you the perfect look.

I especially loved the hands-on aspect of this workshop where we were able to experiment with all the wonderful ettusais products. It's always best to be able to really try a product out on your face first before making a purchase.In this two hour long workshop, you will learn everything starting from proper make up removal and cleansing techniques, concealing, creating a flawless (and pore-less!!) base, using the right colours and making your look last by choosing the right range of products for your skin type (dry? oily? combination? dehydrated???) and lifestyle (outdoorsy? or aircon environments?).

On top of all that, there are light refreshments and door gifts for all participants.

If like many other women out there, you want to put your best face forward, I strongly recommend attending the ettusais workshop. It won't cost you an arm and a leg, yet you have so much to gain from it!

25 Random Facts About Holly Jean

There's this meme making its rounds on Facebook getting people to list 25 random (but hopefully interesting) facts about themselves and then tagging others to do the same.

A similar one went round blogs about a year ago. Click here to read my answers then.

25 Random Facts About Holly Jean

1. I'm impatient and impulsive. I like things done fast. I hate waiting.

2. One of my weaknesses is Geography... (physical geog, not human geog)... I don't know one country from the next. I don't remember capitals, even of those I've visited! About a decade ago, a friend was dating a Romanian dancer (not art/culture or ballet... she was a stripper... and they were coming here by the hoards from 3rd world countries). At the time, I genuinely thought Romanians were from Rome.

3. When I was in university, I have to admit that I probably didn't deserve some (not all!) of the 'A's I got for a few term papers I wrote. I was just a very pleasant girl, and many of my professors were attractive men. So a little flirting helped.

.

4. I am the middle child. I'm very close to my younger brother, as I took care of him growing up.

He's 4 years younger, but ever since he was like 9, he's been taller than me.

5. I was such a prim and proper kid. I always had to have my school uniform properly tucked in, and neatly pressed. My shoes were never scuffed or dirty. My hair was always pulled back in a ponytail with no fly aways. Now this was very uncool in a time when all the kids were trying to look grunge. But I was very happy the way I was so it never really mattered.

6. I LOVE HELLO KITTY

7. A few years ago, I flew with a couple of friends to Tioman on a private plane, a little Cessna (one of them was a pilot). It was the monsoon season, and we were stranded on the island for about 5 days. Now this was a nightmare, because I had only packed for a day trip! Imagine wearing the same thing 5 days straight!!!!! And it was nothing but 5 days of getting soaked in torrential rain!!

8. There was a period growing up ( think it was when I was 16 to 18 or so) when I thought that wearing ultra tiny crop tops were sexy. I did have nice abs but I must have looked like such a slut.

.

9. I was quite a pageant junkie growing up. Was in a Phantom model search, New Paper New Face, Miss Singapore Universe finalist. None of which I regret. Was a real eye-opener for me, and it has pushed me to be a more confident person.

10. I absolutely love FAT food like lamb, duck, foie gras, creme brulee and pizza.

11. I've had a whole range of pets growing up, my house was always a zoo. One of my favourites was this chicken with a funky crest. Had him as a chick... but had to give him up when he grew too big. His name was Julio. In this picture, he's eating with his good friend Lucky ( baby parrot).

12. I want to get a sandy/fawn coloured Holland Lop Bunny next.
.

13. My hair's virgin to colour and dyes.

14. I have sensitive and dry skin. Very prone to dehydration. So if I don't drink enough water, or use a new skincare product, or have a couple of beers, I'll wake up the next day with peeling and red splotches on my face :(

.

15. I have decided to get a C-section when I am pregnant. I cannot imagine having a loose vagina. I would also like to have twins, it's in my family line, but I wouldn't mind paying for medical intervention if it will give me a higher chance of having twins.

16. I cannot touch my own toes without bending my knees. The muscles at the back of my thighs and knees feel like snapping when I try to reach my toes.
.
17. When I was a child, the TV was my educator. My formative years were spent watching endless episodes of Sesame Street. In time to come, I will get complete box sets of Sesame Street and have my babies watch them. My younger brother grew up with the TelleTubbies instead, but I don't think he really benefited from it when it comes to language abilities.

.

18. When I started primary school and outgrew Sesame street. While my friends were hanging out at the mall or McDonald's, I came straight home from school every day to watch really old English shows like "Allo Allo", Never The Twain, Faulty Towers and Mind Your Language. It is appalling that I was such an uncool kid.
.
19. When i was a teacher for 3 years in a secondary school here, I also had to take on the role of St John's Officer. I absolutely hated it. So much bloody paper work, so many unpaid Saturdays spent doing first aid duty at boring bloody community events. Plus I get faint when I see blood. Not a good match but I had no choice really. St John's is a volunteer based organisation but the school volunteered me. Even though I raised my displeasure every year, I still ended up having that role. It's definitely not what I expected when I signed up to be an English teacher.

20. I was a really late bloomer. A real runt. Didn't get my first period till I was 15 plus. And then I suddenly shot up from being the shortest girl in class to one of the tallest.

.

21. I can paint cute Elmo on my nails using nail polish! Click to watch video how to. (you might want to skip this video if you're anal about the way i speak)

22. When I was in Bali, I got a Henna tattoo ( this was before I got my real one on my right shoulder). I developed a rash, vomiting and fever which didn't go away for a week. It was horrid! So sick. That's when I found out I'm allergic to Henna.

23. My ugliest years were when I was 13 and 14. I had to wear ugly spectacles which were too big for my face. I hated this phase so much I have pretty much destroyed any photographic evidence of its existence. I thank God for contact lenses.
.

24. When I was a teenager, I thought it was a great idea to just pick people's drinks off the table in clubs and drink from them. My girlfriend and I really thought it was funny when we'd make off with free jugs of bourbon coke and vodka cranberry. (What embarrassing behaviour!)

.

25. I like men with strong hard chests. A hairless or sparsely haired chest puts me off.

After 12 Clips

Okie... I have the video clips on Dvd... but I can't seem to rip it (in order to post on my blog).

So ... I played it on tv, and used my camera to record it off the TV(in 2 parts). Very primitive of me... I know.

Apologies for the crap quality. Will try to get the file sent to me so I can replace these:

I Missed My TV Slot!

Shit!
Last Sunday, After12 aired on Channel News Asia. In that episode, I show Jamie Aditya (former MTV Vj) around some places in Singapore. But somehow, no one from the production company told me. So I missed the programme on CNA!
Good news is, there's a repeat at 9.30am and 2.30pm this Saturday 21st Feb (tomorrow!).
It's a travel show that features the night life in major Asian cities. In this episode, find out what goes on when night falls upon metropolitan Singapore. Or just watch it to have a laugh at my expense (!)
I hope it turned out okay. And I hope I got the episode right and it's not a repeat of some other episode that I'm NOT IN!!!!!!

Acne Problems?

Hi Holly Jean,

I seem to be having some acne problems on my back. It's not alot but it will be seen as dark spots after healing. And it might take a very long time to disappear.

Because of this, I don't dare to wear sleeveless tops which reveals my back. I use body lotion everyday but it doesn't seem to do the trick. So i was wondering if you could recommend me any cream or something which is both cheap and effective cause I'm a teenager on a budget. Hope to see your reply soon. Thanks!

Love, Troubled Back

------------------------------

Dear Troubled Back

Growing up, I had a phase where I had acne (on my face!). It was depressing! I tried everything to get rid of it including antibiotics. None of them worked.

I changed my pillowcase every 2 days, and never used a face towel more than once. I don't do that anymore, because I no longer have acne problems but I found that such habits did help the situation at the time.

You may want to check out these tips:

1. Don't squeeze pimples! Either let them dry out on its own or use something to help it dry out. Becareful with anything 10%benzoyl or higher as it can burn and leave a blemish. The good news about blemishes (dark spots after the pimple is gone) is that it will disappear in a matter of weeks... they're not there forever!

2. Get a good back scrubber (not something too rough like Loofahs!) or wash cloth so that you can unclog the pores on your back. Gently clean your back everyday in the shower with a mild cleanser. Your face cleanser will do or maybe you'd want to check out ettusais acne body wash.

3. After your shower, avoid rubbing the skin dry as it can spread any infection and irritate your skin. Just dab.

3. Don't sun your back, it will only aggravate the condition. But you should let your skin breathe- Try to leave most of your back bare (moderate amount of sunshine is ok) and don't cover it up under synthetic fabric all the time either.

4. Drink plenty of water, your skin will love you for it.

5. If you have long hair, try to keep it off your back.

Don't let a few blemishes keep you from wearing clothes which reveal your back! Your're young! Enjoy life and don't fret over a few spots! If you are self-conscious about the belmishes, use a concealer (check out ettusais acne concealer) and dab on to your spots.

Good Luck! (And keep me updated)

And So The Bitch Must Burn

Had an interesting discussion with Mark the other day. Seems like whenever there's a problem, he'll discuss it, and then the matter is over.

With me however, everything adds up. The problem may be resolved, but it never goes away. I do move on with life, but that "problem" is part of my history, it doesn't just disappear.

Is this a man-woman dichotomy?
Is it in our genetic make-up? Do women bear grudges more often than men do?

In the course of history, when men fight, it leads to physical wars. When women fight, they use their bodies and minds to wage battle, (even back to the time of Cleopatra). A woman can do far more damage with her mind and tongue than a man can with his fists.

----
I've bore some grudges in my lifetime. And although I have not stooped to the extent of poisoning someone's dog or anything like that, I have done some damage when seeking revenge.

There was one BF (now ex) I had many years ago who cheated on me... so I took his credit card and went on a shopping spree with my girlfriend. Only spent about$3000 but when my ex BF was just 22 years old, that was a lot of money, so it hurt.

There was a noisy bratty child who kept kicking the back of my seat on a coach ride to KL. So when everyone got off the bus for a toilet/food break, I emptied my waterbottle on his seat. Imagine having to ride for hours on a wet seat! HA!

A girl crossed me when we were in secondary school so I went into her class during recess and tore up all her textbooks.

My friends will tell you that I'm a good friend. When people treat me well, I treat them even better. But when it comes to enemies, I cannot just let bygones be bygones. I have to get revenge in order to feel that the scales are balanced. Maybe it's my libran nature... maybe it's because I am a woman. But I'm just not a nice person when I am scorned. Even if I could save your life, if I felt you didn't deserve it, I simply wouldn't.

But I don't think I'm the only one. Am I?

It's Not That Complicated

I had a happy outfit on that night. I think the most expensive item of clothing on me that night were my tights ($21 from River Island) haha, my black pleated skirt was a steal at $10 from Bugis Village, and my polka dot top was like about $8 from Mango (many sales ago).

.

We had dinner for 4 at Indochine Empress Place, which is Chris and Neal's favourite place. And I think mine too from now on... food was great! It wasn't my first time there, but I don't remember food at Indochine ever tasting that good. Maybe it was because Chris did the ordering. Now I can see why the boys always leave the ordering to him. Yummy!

.

I'm happy to have met two more of Mark's close friends. I'm thrilled that I like them both. And they like me ( I think!). You can always tell a man's character by the company he keeps. (Or as I like to say - Play with shit, Smell like shit)

Another surprise for me, when I opened my make up drawer, he had hidden a present for me! It's an Agatha Paris Charm bracelet. ( I swear, when I blogged about it in my Valentine's Day gift recommendation list, I was not hinting!). But I do love it.

.

Good food and great company... (AND a charm bracelet). I couldn't have asked for a better night. :)

I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day too! :)

A Bouquet!? For Me?!

Mark sent flowers. 20 pink tulips.

.

:) I was surprised because I told him before that I didn't want flowers... I'm too practical I think it's a waste of money!
.

That said, it has actually been YEARS since any BF has given me flowers on Valentine's Day... I think the last BF to give me flowers on Valentine's Day was Daniel, like 7 years ago.
.
And you know why I said in my earlier post - you'll never in a million years guess how we're celebrating Valentine's Day?
.

It's because we're not!
.

His best friend has come down to Singapore (on route to somewhere else for business), and he only has this weekend with him. So I decided that in the spirit of love this Valentine's, I should not be selfish and want him all to myself. And so we're going to have dinner with his best friend instead of doing the customary romantic dinner for 2 thing.
.

So getting these flowers has just made me realise, that maybe this day is a special day for me ... even if we don't celebrate it the usual way.

Bits and Bobs

Here are some pics of the bits and bobs I've been up to just before I got sick... and just after I got well. :)
The usual at the gym... but I've started to do squat thrusts now (abs are in good shape, so now it's time to get a fab bum). I figure if I take it one bit at a time... I'll slowly but surely work my way to a great body. I'd advise anyone who wants to exercise, tone up and look great to stay positive, and work in successions of realistic (for your body type and condition) mini goals... not a whopping over-whelming target.

I am impatient, I have the tendency to be satisfied with under-achieving, I have such a short attention span and I'm lazy... so if I didn't live my life like that (with small little triumphs to keep me aspiring for more)... I'd be a fat hog on the couch, and still have room for dessert.This is me making an early morning fry up breakfast for Mark and I an hour before Tennis. I loooooove my bacon and eggs. It's a once a week Sunday morning treat for us now. Other mornings it's cereal :( (but I do like my Kellog's Frosties!)

I love white tennis skirts, sunshine, and bouncing around the court like the athlete that I'm really not.

But I never thought that Tennis would suit me, so I bought a cheap $14 racket instead of investing in a good racket (I got it from CashConverters... they had tonnes of the same funny China brand racket there, I think the factory closed down and had to get rid of stock... ha) . And I was right. I actually hate it. It's too much hard work!

I might play again with Mark ... cos I really like the outfits, it is a good workout for me... and I get a kick out of being able to stuff balls up my skirt for storage. How fun is that. But for the next month or so, I'm retiring my $14 racket...

I just went to ettusais for a make up workshop yesterday and I learnt so much. Many readers have been asking me to recommend places to go to for hands-on make up lessons. I'll let you know more details on how you can sign up for a workshop with ettusais soon.

.

I love being their ambassador!!! They gave me a whole bagful of products from the new Spring /Summer collection (not launched yet)... stay tuned, I'll introduce each one to you when the time comes. So exciting!

After the workshop, Mark and I met up with my old friend Alwyn. We only had about an hour together, but it was soooo good seeing him again. It's a great thing that the boys do like each other. :) Will post pic of that soon. I'm waiting for Alwyn to send me pics.. but it might take a while as he's probably hung over now, cos of a wild stag night with his former secondary schoolmates last night... don't know who they are, I went to a different sec school, but Alwyn became by buddy in Junior College) .

Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day!!!!! It's Valentine's Day! You'll never ever in a million years guess how I'm going to be spending mine.

haha.

Valentine's Day Gifts for Him and Her

Dear Holly Jean,

Help me! It's Valentine's day again, and I don't know what to get my girlfriend. I got her perfume last year.

Boring BF

-------------------

Dear Boring BF

Firstly... whatever you choose to give her on Valentine's Day, give it with love. Give what you want to, because you want to.

And to help you (and others) decide on what to get for their partners this Valentine's, here a list of the 3 best gifts (in my opinion) for guys and girls, based on 3 different budgets.

Holly Jean's Top 6 Gifts Of LOVE!

FOR GIRLS

Budget: Above $200

If you afford it, get her a charm bracelet with cute heart shaped dangling charms! She will loooovvvvveee it!

Though I think most charm bracelets look fab on girls...AgnesB and GUESS has some nice ones (exercise good taste please, some pieces there can be so tacky and frumpy) , and there's this brand Agatha Paris (saw it at Isetan Scotts, and Takashimaya level 1) which has such pretty pretty pieces! It's just as expensive as the ones in AgnesB though! A bracelet with just 3 simple charms will cost at least $250.

Whatever the brand you buy, just make sure you get a bracelet that's of good quality (don't want it to tarnish!) and one where she can add on more charms on her own as time goes by... otherwise she might tire of it.

Budget: $50-$200
Take a walk on the wild side! All male Strip act Thunder from Down Under is coming to Singapore this Valentine's and performing their 75minute revue at Zirca . Tickets available at Sistic.com from $65.

She'll have a laugh, it's a fun act to watch. (Don't worry, they don't strip all the way and it's not sleazy) . You might get trampled on by the hoards of high pointy heeled women who throng these acts though.

Budget: Below $50

If you're on a tight budget, get her one of those ultra cute, trendy, comfy, sexy Boyfriend's Shirts from Cotton On Body. I saw them there in white, light pink and baby blue.(They have outlets at Wisma, Palza Singapura, Parkway, etc). Things there are so affordable, you can throw in a naughty gstring and fluffy slippers to match (all 3 items together will still be under $50) !

FOR THE BOYS

Budget: Above $200

Book a couple spa for the two of you spend time relaxing together. Spa Botanica at Sentosa has a lot of raves, or if you're on a slightly tighter budget than that, check out Asian Spa at The Fullerton .

Budget: $50 to $200

iLuv Sounddock (available in black or white at http://www.i-luv.com/ and $175 at epicentre orchard)

Budget: Below $50

Get him underwear... Do u prefer him in white Calvins? or Cute TopShop boxers? A thong!?

When he puts it on, make him do a dance for you :)

----------------------------------

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY Everyone!

Singapore Teacher has Sex with Underaged BOY

A female primary school teacher inher early 30s, mother of 2 young children and married to a grassroots leader had sex with a male student!


He was just 14, in primary 6. The first time they had sex, she booked a chalet in pasir ris! That's close to where I live! Eeeks! That probably means they're east dwellers, and she teaches in a school around here... otherwise she would have booked a cheap hotel 81 room somewhere else or something.


I can see how students would naturally be attracted to young teachers, male or female... but I can hardly see how a woman in her 20 or 30s or whatever... would want to have sex with a child!


I feel it's quite sick when an adult manipulates or misuses a student's attraction towards her. I'd just be flattered if I knew a male student fancied me... I would not think about boosting my ego by showing him "what a real woman is like" and play out Mrs Robinson fantasies on a young child!


I used to teach in a secondary school. And while I was there, there was a case where a male teacher (incidentally not just my colleague but also my friend) had sexual relations with a student. However, she wasn't underaged and he was single... and both were not virgins. Though I still think it was wrong and very unprofessional of him to get involved with a student, news of a female teacher having sex with a primary (!!!) school boy really takes the cake.


How would you feel if you had a child in primary (or even secondary) school?

------------------
Update: 23rd Feb
The teacher has received a jail sentence of 10 months.

I'm sick!

I am so sick :(

Think I got food poisoning from a friend's BBQ last night

I've been up having diarrhea and/or vomitting every twenty minutes. Feeling so tired and dehydrated now. But can't drink water, because i vomit it up 5 minutes later!

Can't sleep either, cos tummy hurts.

To make things worse, one of my best friends who works in Denmark now, is in SG. Supposed to meet him for lunch with Mark today, but I had to cancel it.

I haven't been ill in a very very long time. This feels like utter crap!

(any idea if it's ok to take an anti diarrhea and anti vomit pill? Or should I keep vomiting all the toxins out?? The clinic doesn't open till 8am) :(

Where's Holly at the Gym?

Hello Holly Watchers! Holly is at the gym today. See if you can spot her among all the equipment.

Haha. :)

Yet another pink attack at the gym.

I'm sorry this is looooong overdue... but I really just haven't had the time to share this.

The Ab exercise that pulled part of my usually just plain flat stomach in (click here for past post)... and gave it a sexy hole. I'm still miles away from a washboard type six pack definition, but that's because I kinda forgot to keep up the exercise routine for 2 weeks.

This is the key exercise. Trust me.. I do tens and tens of crunches, and my abs only feel it after like many repetitions. But with this exercise, I feel it within the first ten seconds.

-

Lie down, then like a crunch, lift your body up (part way) and lift your legs at the same time. Hold this pose for 10 to 15 seconds (or more if you can).

-

Adjust your pose to the point where you feel the most strain on your abs... If you can hold the pose without much effort for more than 20 seconds, you're not doing it right and you're cheating yourself.... Move your legs lower and your upper body lower to the floor to work your abs even more. Then, if you really want to punish yourself... tilt your head back as well.... your abs will do all the work to keep your body in this position. [Do at least 3 sets]
Feel the burn!!! Go back into the flat position and then I like to reverse the achy feeling in the abs by bending the other way. Though this move supposedly has no bearing on how effective the previous exercise is.

The best part about this is how fast you feel (and hopefully see) results. Try it and update me - Does it work your ab muscles the same way it does mine????

Brazilian Wax at The Golddust

This is a video of my Brazilian wax experience at The Gold Dust.

My readers would already know that I'm a Brazilian wax addict, can't live without it. On this blog, I've done a comparison of the most popular places where girls get waxed here in Singapore. But I have recently found a real gem!!!!

The Gold Dust is a home-based waxing service run by Kerry (above), and she started waxing 3 years ago when she was in the states. Now she's in Singapore specialising in the ever sexy Brazilian wax.

Girls, if you're a regular wax addict like I am and you've become jaded by the factory like treatment (in and out in 10 minutes flat!) you get at most wax places... but you get home and find so many stray hairs which you have to contort your body in order to tweeze out yourself.... then The GoldDust will be a wonderful change for you.

Kerry is patient and gentle, so she's especially great if it's your very first Brazilian Wax, or if you have sensitive skin like I do. She uses only hard wax (which would cost you more in all other wax salons), and never double dips the applicator (that ice-cream stick thing) into the wax pot. It's very hygenic and the service is top notch!

Sick of the usual balinese spa like designs or clinical atmospehere of my usual wax haunts, I was delighted to enter the wax room at The GoldDust. It's pink and soft and has a modern art deco edginess to it. I'm not putting any pictures of the room up here... I don't want to spoil the surprise. See it for yourself.

The GoldDust provides one of the cheapest Brazilian waxes here! The pre-package trial wax session is only $25! And a package of 10 sessions costs $300, which will make each subsequent wax session as cheap as $30.

Whether you're a regular Brazilian Wax fan, a brazilian wax virgin who wants to finally give this a try, or just looking for something special to spice things up this Valentine's Day...

Call Kerry at 91897336 for an appointment today!

The Real (Blogging) People Vs. The Association of Bloggers (Singapore)

Barely 3 weeks since its launch, the Association of Bloggers (Singapore) has lost 7 out of its 10 founding members. They're left with ECL and some guy named Wilfred?

Oh dear. So much for that well-thought out Blogger Invitation List based on secret contacts and even more top secret (meaning bullshit) selection criteria.

Not such a great idea trying to be elitist and exclusive now is it?

Sounds like quite a predicament indeed.

It was mentioned that 2 of those 7 members who left were also vice-presidents. Hmmm... how many vice presidents does this clique need? It's like how a lot of businesses now give ALL their staff some uber important sounding name... like even the guy who cleans the windows is some Chief Operations dude or something. Bizarrrrrre!

Well anyway, the members who resigned cited personal reasons such as family and work obligations as reasons for their resignation.... yeah.... even The Straits Times today believed you...

Well, I say to them... it's ok, whatever the reason, welcome back to The Real (Blogging) People... hope it wasn't too rough for you on the dark side (what.. with all that broken English and self-appraising foolery going on there).

--------------------------

I know I haven't been really ranting on and on about the ABS like most bloggers have.... in fact only blogged about it once (click here) ... but that's because I've had ettusais make up to try out, Brazilian waxes to review(will post this one in a couple of days!), desserts to eat, Tv to watch, msn messages and emails to respond to, meals to cook, abdominals to obsess over and a boyfriend to drive crazy :)

But the recent uproar over the A.B.S. has made me realise one thing - How commanding the unity of thousands of determined voices can be.

Power to The Real (Blogging) People!

In Love With Colours! (Get Your Free MakeOver!)

Valentine's Day is almost here! And I'm simply In Love with Colors! What shouts I'm young, lively and full of Love better than colour?!

When it comes to make up and colours... The most obvious feature that accentuates a face is the eyes. So, while applying eye make-up, a very important element to focus upon is the eye-shadow.
There are 27 stunning eye colours in the ettusais range. You can pick and choose your favourite shades and form your very own personalised palette.

If like me, you simply like all the colours and have trouble deciding which to choose.... don't fret! Ettusais has put together 3 playful palettes for 3 gorgeous looks. The Cute, the Feminine, and the Cool.

My favourite is the Cool palette. It consists of aqua and blue hues. Now before you express disgust at blue eyeshadow... you got to check this palette out!

The shades of blue that ettusais has combined to form this cool palette complement each other and will make your eyes sparkle with vibrant colour! The textures of the eye shadows are really fine, making it ultra easy to blend. And once you're dolled up, your eye colours will stay crease proof the whole day!

Watch my video to learn how to use the Cool Palette!


3 fab colours, 3 easy steps:

When using 3 shades/colours:

1. Use the lightest color as the base over your entire eyelid up to the brow bone.

2. Then use the lighter on your eyelid, do not go beyond your crease line.

3. Lastly use the darkest shade - dark blue directly above your lash line.

This palette is so versatile.. it can take me from day to night. For a more elegant or intense look, you can give your eyes the smokey effect by thickening the darkest shade at the outer corner of the eye.

Easy!!!!

And... for the perfect pout ... ettusais has 12 yummy lip colours which are moisturising, easy to apply and long lasting. My personal favourite is pk3 which is a sweet girly pink... very kissable :)

Another great way to play with colours is with your nails.

These nail polishes glide effortlessly onto your nails and they dry ever so quickly. With 23 nail polish colours... there's no limit to the fun you can have! Sexy red vixen nails one day... and pretty soft pink the next day... bubbly blue the day after...

Colours are a great way of expressing yourself! With such a wide range of colours out there by ettusais... you have no excuse to be dull and boring looking! Get creative... come alive!
