Thursday’s MOTD with Maybelline New York

Ola, how’s Thursday been to you thus far? I’m feeling so hot and furious with the recent extremely warm weather. Hence I decided to put on a simple makeup look with Maybelline New York’s  Hypersharp Power Black, Volum’ Express Lash Sensational Mascara and Velvet Matte by Color Sensational to chill myself down with the simple yet beautiful look today. 

Maybelline New York’s bestselling eyeliner Hypersharp Liner is now revamped to blacker than black for naturally defined yet intense eyes: the new Hypersharp Power Black. This latest addition to Maybelline New York’s #1 eyeliner franchise sets the scene for the ultimate eye drama so that you can show off your eyes and say, “Watch out for the New Me!”

With the same 0.05mm tip that you have come to love from Hypersharp Liner, Hypersharp Power Black lets you easily draw thin lines to create naturally defined eyes in a single stroke. What makes it a standout is its blacker than black shade to give you a dramatic effect for eyes that are bolder and more powerful.

I paired Hypersharp Power Black with the latest mascara and lip color: Maybelline New York Volum’ Express Lash Sensational Mascara and Maybelline New York Velvet Matte by Color Sensational for my look. 

The new Maybelline New York Volum’ Express Lash Sensational Mascara has a lash catcher brush – a first for Maybelline New York – reveals 100% of all your lashes. This unique fanning brush features 10 layers of bristles in a unique curved arrangement. It sweeps up every lash, unfolding layers upon layer of lashes for the fullest, full fan-effect your lashes have ever seen. From corner to corner, top to bottom, no lash is left behind.

New Maybelline’s Inspirational Tagline ‘Make It Happen’

“Maybe she’s born with it, maybe It’s Maybelline”, a tagline that reminds us immediately the famous cosmetic, Maybelline New York, is now retired. In order to spur young women on in their journey of pursuing their dreams, “Make It Happen” is the new inspiration from Maybelline New York, calling out to young Malaysian women to go after her dreams without doubts and fear, and instead with confidence, positivity and creativity that comes with the use of makeup. 

The official new tagline launch was happened at Centre Court, Mid Valley Megamall last month where we heard Pink Fong, Marketing Manager of Maybelline New York Malaysia that “As a beauty brand that is close to women, we see the need to evolve the way we speak to them, especially the new millennials, so as to reflect the way they live, think and act today.”

“With the new tagline “Make It Happen”, we are now asking women to define her own beauty in her own terms, but with a drive and go-getter spirit that transcends beauty to an action to make whatever matters to her happen. The “IT” in “Make it Happen” is a very powerful word that has lived with Maybelline for decades, now it is in her hands to define it. Essentially this expresses how Maybelline New York empowers women today to define her beauty, live her life and make it happen”, said Fong.

Maybelline New York also highlighted a group of women who embodies the spirit of Make It Happen in the pursuit of their life dream, They are Malaysia “IT” girls from diverse background and interest who share a common passion in pursuing their own life goals.

As the official cosmetics partner for Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4, make-up artist Stevensunny demonstrated three looks on finalists Angela Watkins from Singapore, Aldilla Zahraa from Indonesia and our very own Nuraini Noor, also known as Tuti at the tagline launch event.

Look Fabulous in 3 minutes with Maybelline New York Fashion Brow Duo Shaper & Hypersharp Wings

For most working women like me, we have very limited time for our morning make-up routines. I recently found a way to look fabulous in just 3 minutes with the new Maybelline New York Fashion Brow Duo Shaper & Hypersharp Wings.

First, draw Brows that WOW!

Using Maybelline New York’s fastest and most precise solution, its first 2-in-1 eyebrow liner to shape, finish and wow!

Perfectly shaped eyebrows that instantly frame and sharpen your face! But not everyone is blessed with the right brow shape... or the skills to shape theirs to perfection. To begin with, your brows may be too thin and may require additional work for the perfect arch. Knowing exactly what shape is suitable is another challenge. On top of that, grooming brows by trimming, tweezing or threading is prohibited in some religion.

Maybelline New York first 2-in-1 eyebrow liner – Fashion Brow Duo Shaper let us  get brows that wow in two simple steps.

This unique eyebrow liner is a duo shaper that comes with a Precise Pencil on one end and a Filling Powder on the other. The Precise Pencil shapes, while the Filling Powder finishes. Use one side to shape and the other to finish – just two steps to brow wow!

STEP 1 PENCIL SHAPES

Use the PRECISE PENCIL to shape your brows with ease. With its 2mm micro lead, the Precise Pencil offers perfect control with the ultimate precision so that you can easily shape your eyebrows. This way, you can outline exactly the shape you desire by creating light strokes with the pencil tip. 

STEP 2 POWDER FINISHES

Use the FILLING POWDER to fill gaps for a full, natural finish. Made of mineral powders, the Filling Powder leaves behind a natural soft focus finish as you fill in your brows. With its powder tip, the end result is a soft, natural powdery finish on your eyebrows. It also comes in handy when filling in the gaps of the outline you’ve created in Step 1. Plus, with its 12-hour wear, your brows remain perfectly shaped for a natural look!

Available in 2 shades, Brown and Grey. Maybelline New York Fashion Brow Duo Shaper ivailable at a recommended retail price of RM29.90

Secondly, draw a balanced winged liner with Maybelline New York first 2-in-1 flat tip liner that draws from thin to thick with just a twist of the tip to create perfect wings on both eyes!

Who doesn’t love the trendy winged liner look that instantly transforms your eyes to become more alluring? The problem? It can take a very long time to get it right and on top of that, mistakes are easy – smudges, unevenness between both eyes, too thick or too thin wings... how frustrating!

So how do you create a perfect thin-to-thick liner in just one swoop that looks even on both eyes? With Maybelline New York’s latest innovation specially created to give you perfect balanced wings without the hassle and fuss: Maybelline New York Hypersharp Wings, its first 2-in-1 flat tip liner that lets you draw from thin to thick with just a twist of the tip to create perfect wings on both eyes!

Review: Bourjois Aqua Laque

I recently received a Bourjois Aqua Laque from Bourjois Malaysia team. Bourjois Aqua Laque is the latest rouge product from Bourjois Malaysia. From the website, it says that it gives Mirror-like shine, intense colour & 10hr hydration.

The non-sticky formula glides on easily, creating a water-light sensation on the lips. And what's more, it contains Nymphaea extract to smooth and moisturise.

Swatches -  Bourjois Aqua Laque 08 Babe idole 

Bourjois Aqua Laque is available in 8 mouth-watering shades, from soft nudes to statement brights. It is retail at RM 42.90(If I’m not mistaken) and is available at selected Watsons Store as well as Bourjois standalone store at Sunway Pyramid.

I’m wearing 08 Babe idole in this picture. I love this product as it is the perfect balance between lip gloss and lipstick. The colour is vibrant like a lipstick, yet it doesn't dry my lips. It feels really lightweight and smooth on my lips. I would definitely recommend it!

Review: Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara

Like many Asian, I am born with small eyes. I always adore those girls with big eyes because they look so pretty. I used to put on falsies to make my eyes look bigger, however my eyes have got sensitive for not removing it properly after a few times hence I stopped putting on falsies.

Since then, I am always looking for good mascara that could give me length and volume, for that big eyes effect.

I am happy to try out Maybelline newly launched Big Eyes Mascara recently. It is the 1^st mascara with 2 brushes - 1 big brush & 1 microbrush.

2x brushes for 2x bigger eyes!
