Hello lovelies, so here are the close up photos of the packaging, shades and the swatches for both the LimeCrime Venus palettes, Venus I and Venus II. On a lonely Valentines, I placed my order on the Limecrime website for the Venus I palette & the Velvetine in  'Shroom'. They had free worldwide shipping at the time. The Venus Palette costed $34 each which in MYR (with the currency exchange of $1= RM 4.7) costed me RM 185. A bundle set costs $53 which in MYR would be RM 249.10 for both the Venus Palettes. If only I knew how amazing it was, I would have just ordered the bundle set but because dare not to, I got them seperately and ended up spending more. Upon receiving the Venus I palette approximately a month after placing the order, I fell in absolute love with it and I will elaborate why down below. I ordered the Venus II Palette immediately from an Instagram store @amazinc.my that had the Venus II Palette on sale and as ready stock for RM 155 (they also had a discount for first time buyers) so all in all I've spent RM 350 on both of these palettes.

As stated before, having a makeup product or line that's 'vegan' means having makeup that does not contain animal ingredients. Most beauty products contain these without you even realizing it and in case you are interested in going vegan on all your beauty products, this will be the article for you!

First of all, what animal ingredients could possibly be in your products? 

I've conducted a little research and i'll be summarizing the information i've obtained from http://www.herbhedgerow.co.uk/animal-products-in-cosmetics/# but in case you're interested in reading a little bit more, then head over to the website itself.

However, note that sometimes, these ingredients can be derived by dead animals that are accessible and were not necessarily literally killed for it. I also believe it's one choice whether or not they are OK with slathering products on their faces containing animal products or not. 

Vegan brands?

There are a few makeup brands that have their ENTIRE LINE 100% vegan however there are a few makeup brands heading towards that direction and makeup brands that do produce a few alternate vegan options for their products. It usually would be stated on their website or simply on their Instagram bio.

To name a few that I know, JeffreeStarCosmetics is entirely vegan whereas KatVonD is striving towards making her brand 100% vegan but currently not all of her products are entirely vegan. For more information, here's a link of an online website with a full list for you to go through - http://www.logicalharmony.net/cruelty-free-vegan-brand-list/#axzz4701E1vO2

Okay so I did put up a snapstory on this but for those of y'all who've missed it, here it'll be up again. 

Tapestries are beautiful things to own & put up but horrible and heavy when it comes to actually getting it on your wall or hanging it without damaging your walls. So here are a few tips I'd like to share on how I got to put mine up.

As seen in the photo, I got these Command hooks from Popular in Sunway Pyramid. These hooks have adhesives in which does not leave a mark on your wall & is removable anytime. The packaging also states the amount of hooks, adhesives and even the approx weight each hook can carry. There are also a few different hooks & so on in the Command section. There'll also be a video and instructions on how you'd be able to use this thing so you won't be lost when you get home. I hung my tapestries with this by cutting a small hole on both top ends and sliding it on the hook. Also, you can hang anything you want really 

In case you're wondering why not just nail these on, this is if you're a person who doesn't own nails, a hammer, a railing, prefer damage free walls, thinking of future refurbishing, living in dorm rooms that don't allow damage to the walls & etc. Plus, using double sided tape or even foam tape WONT work I guarantee you because it's cloth and it's really heavy. 

Hope that helps any one of y'all here! *Photo not mine. Taken from Google but this is the packaging of the specific one that i've used*

Hello lovelies! Tonight's post is based on my rant on Snapchat a while back in which I was overwhelmed at the amount of amazing feedback from the people who persistently view my snaps. Snapchat  being all lovely and stuff doesn't hold my stuff for too long (only for 24 hours to be exact) and so for those who missed it, here it will be here  as well because this topic needs more light to be shed on it  

During my long ass snap duration, here are the few things I've covered which would be the dangers of wearing fake makeup ❌, the quality of the product ❌ and also it's price worth ❌

1) The dangers 

Fake makeup is FAKE. Real makeup is priced the way they are due to their products which are safe for the skin, healthy and promotes better quality. Fake makeup on the other hand is CHEAPER because they don't use the same ingredients so aren't you afraid of what you're slathering on your lovely face? Plus, you wouldn't take random pills or eat random foods but putting random ingredients on your face's skin is OK? ¿

2) The quality 

For those who couldn't care less of their skin condition, you would at least pay attention to the quality now wouldn't you? Since that was the reason you bought it in the first place. "I love the shades in the Naked Palette so I'll just buy this fake Naked Palette instead of the real one because I can't afford buying a real one". So obviously, you would want something out of it right? Well unfortunately some shades are too far off when compared to the original Palette and some shades on a fake Palette are impressive when swatched, but horrible when applied because 99% of the product bounces off your pretty eyelids. Thus what does that give you? A hole in your purse that isn't even worth it

3) Is the fake palette worth it's price? Unless you got it for 10 cents, Nope. It not only is dangerous, it doesn't work and you're better off buying from other affordable makeup brands with better qualities and trusted products. Even if you've spent rm50 on a fake palette because it's seemingly better than spending rm100 on the real one, you're better off spending that RM50 on an amazing affordable palette

SOLUTIONS

Your trusted Fay won't leave you there just yet. What are problems without solutions right? Alright so here are some useful tips based on my keen observations. Fay giving you solutions to your problems

1) Be careful when purchasing items online. If it's price seems too good to be true, it's usually because it's not the real deal. If unsatisfied, do check. "Inspired" basically means it's not the real deal. They've just come up with a fancier word to conceal the fact that it's a rip off 

2) Look for dupes. Dupes are cheaper alternatives for a certain product. Dupes are mainly due to people preferring much more affordable prices, product being vegan or makeup brand being cruelty free. You may find similar shades in more affordable ranges from different amazing brands

3) Look for people selling preloved makeup. Yes preloved makeup you heard me! Some people buy certain makeup on impulse without properly  checking the shades such as foundation shades, lipstick shades and so on or also because sometimes they just feel unsatisfied with the product being fit for their skin type and daily routines and that's where you come along and swoop it from their hands to an owner who'd love them better. If they're pale and think their foundation makes them look like an oompa loompa, you as an oompa loompa grab that from her

So I have been getting a LOT of frequently asked questions from time to time and thus I have decided to answer them all here. Got any other questions other than these? Ask me! 

How long have you started out makeup/fx makeup?

About a year now actually

How long does it take you to paint all of that on your face?

I don't usually track how long it takes me to complete a look but if I were to give a rough estimation, I would probably say 2 hours. That includes the endless photo taking but 2 hours is probably the longest I ever took for facepaint. However if the costume requires me to do my hair as well, that consumes a little bit more time.

The question is, why do you do it?

I like it. I like the illusion. I like how mindblowing some looks can be & I love the fact I am able to transform into another character entirely. 

Do you do any of these professionally?

Yes and no. Currently i'm not at home base so I can't navigate as easily as back then (which I used to sometimes get makeup/facepaint requests) but will definitely look into doing it part-time in the nearest future.

Can we leave you look suggestions for you to try?

Yes, you can. I would be extremely happy to receive your suggestions wherever you leave your suggestions.

Do you have a Youtube channel?

Yes I do and it's @epicfaylure14

I casually love entering Daiso and scavenging the place for new, interesting, innovative and cheap creations that can aid either in daily life or to be used as a beauty tool/product. After a few hunts, I came up with 3 products in which I find are the greatest picks amongst all of the same type there so continue reading! And if you've watched my Youtube video about it, here's the photos of the product packaging.
