Will you use an eyeshadow as a blush?

Illamasqua currently has a massive online sale for as low as 5 pennies that nearly made me go wack.  They're known for highly pigmented make up that's gorgeous and insanely high quality.  Instantly, my shopping cart was quickly filled with goodies until my "budget conscience" hit me on the head. Upon realising I couldn't afford those gazillion items in my cart, I slowly and painstakingly removed some items that I wouldn't likely use on my normal self. Here's what made the cut:

1. Powder Eye Shadow in Lick £5 , Hot coral pink - matt finish
2. Powder Eye Shadow in Trollop £5 , Warm peach - matt finish
3. Cream Eye Shadow in Exalt £5 , Warm apricot - satin finish


As you noticed, all these are warm colored shadows as I intend to use them as blush. Aha! A blush. Genius. Will you please raise your hand if any of you have finished a blush? Nope. Not me.  Lipstick, yes. But blush, I haven't. Now you see, they are perfectly sized for dipping your blush brush. Will it work? Why not.  If we can use lipsticks as blush, why can't  shadows be used on cheeks given they're matte or dewy?  Oh well.  I'll let you know if I succeeded in blending it nicely on my cheeks.

Have you tried it yourself? Let me know if you have.

Have a gorgeous day!

Good Food Quest: Chat Thai!

Ever since I started taking up Hotel Management, it gave birth to this desire of discovering great restos where we can have fabulous food and great time as well.  So on most Thursdays, you will see me in the city lining up outside a restaurant waiting to be seated.  Last week, I went back to Chat Thai -- it's definitely one of those restos that lived up to its hype.

History of Chat Thai found in their website:

The first Chat Thai restaurant, founded by Amy Chanta, opened its doors in 1989 on Liverpool St, Darlinghurst and was immediately a roaring success. Since then four more Chat Thai restaurants and takeaways have opened throughout Sydney. The name “Chat Thai” simply means “Thai Nation”. But the English meaning “to converse in a familliar and informal manner” is also what Chat Thai is all about casual and relaxed dining with authentic Thai food made to be shared with friends and family. Over the years our principle aims haven’t changed much - to serve great, fresh and authentic food in an elegant, yet simple environment, and to also provide a helpful friendly service and, most importantly, value for money.
