the make up bag: the lazy diva make up kit

the bare essentials : MAC Studio Fix Liquid,  And Concealer, in Nc45; Mac Mineralise Skinfinish in Soft And Gentle; Mac Blush in Peachtwist; BYS Baked High Shine Bronzer in Golden Shimmer, Mac Zoom Fast Black Lash in Black. Eyeliners: - bourjois (turquoise), shisedo, revlon (eyebrow pencil), mac (purple liner). no idea where i got the green or what brand it is. 

so in chatting to one of my gfs, she grumbles: "it's not that i hate make up... im just lazy as feq. make it simple for me!" challenge accepted. look, i get it. with the thousands of youtube gurus out there with arsenals of tools, potions and lotions, make up can seem daunting to a new comer, or even to someone who just wants to keep it simple. so, after conducting a quick survey (read:asking friends on facebook) i've come up with a very minimal list of products and tools for the lazy, or shall we say minimalist diva.

work it out: spring 2013 colours! (NEONS!)

Sandals
Clutches

the perfect look for a spring day-date

so its been awhile. i can sit here and write a million excuses for my absence but i won't. i cant function in winter. that is all. but the winter is over, i'm out of hibernation, birds are singing, so it's time to get to WERK! unless you've been blindfolded under a rock, you would have noticed (no, scratch that, i actually, have been under a rock and i still noticed) that the spring 2013 palette is colourful as usual, but with a major twist. instead of the regular pastels, neons are taking centre stage, and i am HERE for it! WOOT! neon in every colour! hell, if they made neon black i'd probably wear it! i can barely contain myself. it's like an excited rainbow explosion! (accessories after the jump!)

tarmark diva: TOKYO (the haul and pics!)

so i live on the other side of japan. Osaka is west, tokyo is east. and while i love my city (shout out to O!), lemme tell you, tokyo knows how to do shopping! now, this wasn't my first shopping trip to tokyo but, it was the BEST. namely because instead of heading to played-out harajuku, we headed to GINZA. let me explain...

Diva does NYE 2012 TOKYO: the look and pictures!

This was my first new year's eve in japan. i'm usually off on vacation as i despise winter and need the respite! however due to budget constraints caused buy buying a new computer and moving, this diva had to stay put this year. but nothing can stop me from having a good time and doing it in style, not even a budget, so i hopped on a jetstar flight (budget!) from my home in Osaka, and flew across the country to Tokyo.
