JERA: December’s Hot Favorites!

Tarina Tarantino’s makeup range is my hot favorite for the month of December. And it’s the best Christmas present for myself… I am so in love with the packaging!!! Some of you may not be familiar with this brand but Tarina Tarantino is a jewelery designer in who is well-known for her bright and funky hair jewelery designs.

You can check out her jewelery collections out at http://www.tarinatarantino.com/

After working as a model and makeup artist during the early1990s, she decided to make her jewelery hobby a full-time job.  Her collections have since caught the eye of many top celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Avril Lavigne and Miley Cyrus.

And to my utmost interest, Tarantino released a full collection of cosmetics exclusively for Sephora retail stores in January 2010 :)

Thanks to my sweet cousin who just returned from US for holidays who got me a stash of these makeup sweeties!

The Pearl Glow Primer makes my skin glow with its light-reflective properties. It’s suitable for all skin types and the quick absorbent formula leaves no greasy after-feel!

I am so lovin it! :D Say ‘HI’ to flawless skin!

I am a sucker for SHIMMER so I got a set of Sparklicity Shimmer Dust,  Sparklicity Gold Shimmer Dust and Sparklicity Pure Gold to add to my makeup collection! I’m gonna use them to create another look :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!

ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS 2010 LOOK

Green and red? Isn’t it the common colour combination for this festive season? But on the face…. why not? It’s the best time to opt for a refreshing yet contrasting touch this Christmas! Even though the 2 colours are opposite hues in the colour wheel, the duo combination (feared by many) can turn out to be enchanting actually. Depending on the shades you choose, of course ;)

But beware! If you have really tired eyes on that day, you can shelve off this look till you are looking fresher :) Also, moderation is a virtue when it comes to playing with this combination of colours. The red portion should not be covering all of your eyelids, or else you might actually scare Santa away :P Pair the light red with dark green contact lenses & it’s perfecto!

1) BENEFIT SOME BEAUTY TO LOVE, SGD $49

2) BOBBI BROWN MINI BOBBI BRIGHTS PALETTE, SGD $120

3) DIOR MINIAUDIERE, SGD $100


4) RMK CHRISTMAS 2010 BRUSH SET, SGD $105
