Maybelline – My Beauty Book
I got hold of a couple of My Beauty Book from Maybelline recently. Guess what the book is about? An idiot’s guide to cosmetics? Makeup techniques? Colour guide?
Ta-da! It’s a makeup palette! I really dig the attractive packaging. The vibrant strips of vivid colours would grab anyone’s attention!
My Beauty Book comes in two different choices:
- Enchanting Eden (blue and green tones)
- Pop Princess (pastel tones, displayed in the photo)
Made to resemble a hardcover book, this makeup kit snaps shut magnetically. The palette consists of a blusher, 2 lip glosses, 4 eye colours, and a colour applicator. Then there’s that large functional mirror on the underside of the lid. Everything is dry and nothing runs, so no worries about spillages. With its ultra slim form factor, it makes an ideal item to carry around in the bag. Plus, it looks funky!

Wow! That’s beautiful! If only there is a lip colour palette! I can’t seems to get that kind of palette of reputable brands like Loreal or Shiseido etc, only the make-up artist’s set or some unknown brands.

Lip palettes aren’t exactly practical. That’s why they aren’t readily available. Personally I prefer lip colours in tube or stick form.

Very pretty colours there! You know Veron, you should do this from time to time, introduce some clothes or makeup (sorry to the guys who are regulars!)…I’m looking for white colour eye make up which will kinda act as a highlighter. Any recommendations?

I’m using this shimmery white eye colour from Ettusais. It’s a very safe and versatile colour that you can use alone or as a highlighter. Check out their cream eye colour range. There’s only one such colour there. It’s pretty long-lasting and doesn’t cause creases the way many cream eye colours do.

Looks pretty sweet – so as long as my sis/mum doesn’t have their eyes on it. :P

Yeah, that, plus the fact that it would be too small. Come to think of it, it’s pretty easy to do up an art piece like this. It’s just strips of colour!

Dear Xanthe,
Lip palettes aren’t as easy to find as eyeshadow versions, but give “Sugar” a chance (find it as sephora). It folds open like a tri-fold card. There are shadows and blush, along with twelve amazing (not over-powering) glosses which smell Heavenly and smooth and soothe while they make your pout pretty–there’s a hue for every woman, from pinks to reds and bronze!
God Bless,
Gigi
