MAKEUP HAUL & DAY IN THE LIFE HONG KONG v2


The PIMPED OUT interior of the 1010 phone shop in Hong Kong.
All of them are done up like this:

wooden and marble flooring,
black leather seats,
vintage mirrored trunks as tables,
every new gadget on the market on display,
expensive air fresheners,
iPads for every shop assistant to use with customers,
stylish shelf decor, e.g. fashion & architecture coffee table books,
AND
a guy who stands at the door to ask you what service you need before discreetly broadcasting it to his colleagues so that by the time you get up the stairs, you can be served correctly and immediately.

To put this into perspective, this is an equivalent to the Vodafone or 02 stores in the UK, or the AT&T or T-Mobile stores in the States - you go in to pay bills, get help with your account, start up new phone contracts, etc.

Things are a little glitzier over here, huh?



Some recent purchases:
L'Oreal Superliner in Black
L'Oreal OpenEyesPro in 08 Smoky Brown
Chanel Vitalumiere in Clair 20
Sunglasses from Cotton On
Bobbi Brown Facial Oil samples

Can I skip the yadda yadda and just say that everything pictured = favourite. Cheapo sunglasses that I won't cry over if I sit on them (regular occurence) and my new favourite foundation/eye palette/waterproof gel liner/facial oil for winter.







Hong Kong is full of very blingin' Christmas lights.



What makeup have you been loving for Winter?

ORGANIC MAKEUP - Lavera, Weleda & Desert Essence


COMPOSED, PHOTOGRAPHED & POSTED WITH MY SAMSUNG GALAXY S2



First things first: Hello lovely readers and welcome back to Geisharock! It's been a while, non?


I'm excited because I'm in a new phase of my life, post-university & job hunting and am determined to blog much more... This will be made easier by my new iPad 2 (love) and Samsung Galaxy s2. Reviews on those will pop up soon, albeit very non-techie reviews!


I'm itching to post this as it is my first try using my SG s2 to create a whole post, from taking the photos, uploading and typing it all up.


I'm kicking off with an Organic Makeup post, inspired by the lovely Lisa Eldridge.


I was strolling through Whole Foods and one of her videos popped into my head where she used Lavera foundation so I decided to pick that up, along with 2 moisturisers.


I'll leave you with the photos and product names and will update after I have tried them out.


1. Lavera Natural foundation in Porcelain 1


2. Desert Essence Daily Essential moisturiser


3. Weleda Skin Food
















LOVE GEISHA XOXO

SWATCHES: Foundation, Bronzer, Blusher - E.L.F, MAC, The Body Shop, Korres, Rimmel...

Just a few random swatches of some of the make up I have with me at the moment whilst living near university to write my dissertation.

The Nivea/Rimmel/Collection 2000 foundation products were impulse tester purchases that I got recently because I didn't feel like I had enough make up with me and wanted a quick fix! You know how it is. I'd recommend them all though, as long as you can find your shade (difficult for me!).

  • Maybelline dream satin liquid in 021 Nude
  • MAC Mineralized skinfinish in light-medium
  • Collection 2000 Perfecting minerals in No 4 Biscuit (not honey as the picture says, sorry!)

You can see the pinky tone of the 3rd colour along in this picture (even though it washes out the darkest colour, sorry!):
