I finally got NAKED!

....OKAY it's not what you think! I'm really talking about..

Yes! The Urban Decay NAKED BASICS Palette! 

 Thanks to my man who got it for me as a belated christmas gift last week! Whoo hoo!! What a beaut. 6 wearable matte shades, totally useful to add to my makeup stash! Here are the colours from left to right:

  1. Venus (creamy white colour, pearl finish)
  2. Foxy (pale yellow/beige matte)
  3. Walk of Shame (light pinky-nude matte)
  4. Naked 2 (rosy-taupe matte)
  5. Faint (warm chocolate brown matte)
  6. Crave (black matte)
Yay!!!! Thank you dear :)


I've already used it full-out once, creating a neutral smokey eye look for D's cousin's wedding. It was just PERFFFF. I love it! It's got everything a girl could need for a quick and simple neutral look, and can take you from day to night! 

I've also been using "Faint", the dark chocolate brown, as an everyday eyebrow colour to fill in my brows! It works just as great as the dark brown shadow from my Mabelline "natural smokes" quad (purchased from australia) which I used prior to "Faint". yayyy, I love products which are versatile! :) 

I may do a quick picture post on the various ways I used Naked Basics, once D lends me his Canon camera!! :) 

Okay, it's about 12:39am now. GOING TO SLEEP!!!! Nights!

x Grace.

p.s Happy 27th Birthday to D today!! :-*

Hola!

Hi!


This space used to be Beauty So Fly's original online store site. However, we've since moved to a .com (www.beautysofly.com) around May last year, so I'm taking over this blogspot site to post about my life and mostly about beauty/fashion related things! :) 


Anyway, more about me:

I've known since young that God gave me a passion for art. This passion slowly became beauty-related and I realized I really appreciate makeup artistry and fashion. This spurred me on to create my online store back in January 2011, together with one of my long-time best friends, Elizabeth Goh. And here we are today, importing reputed international and indie nail polish brands from all over the world, and (hopefully!) soon, cosmetic brands as well! Our Apparel side of the store is taking a little back step for now, as we are putting in more energy into our recent nail polish brand research and investments! But I really hope to pick it up in the near future, as my passion for fashion is still very much alive! :)

Oh, and I used to have blonde hair. Wanna see?


The above pic was snapped from my photobooth on my macbook. hahaha.



This is me now! Except currently my hair is a bit darker than this picture. In this pic you can see that I've put on some weight (compared to previous photo) from my Costa Rica summer program trip in 2012 (June-July) so now I'm like chubbierrrr. But oh wells! 






Alrighty then, watch this space for (exciting? haha) updates and random makeup/fashion musings!



Be sure to "Like" BSF (Beauty So Fly) on Fb and follow us on twitter and instagram as well! Links are at the side bar :) You can also follow me on twitter and instagram, I've made the links available as well.



Ciao, bellas!
