My inspirations will always be my mother for her courage, my father for giving me strength, Randy Pausch for writing an inspirational book, my tutor for making me realise my dreams, my every reader across the globe, and above all- this beautiful World for bringing beauty, knowledge and joy to my life.


I'm Emyli, and I am a British chick.
I am a Professional Beauty Therapist and Make-Up Artist.
A full-time blogger who writes about all things beauty, reviews on beauty products, and skincare articles.
I specialise in Cosmetic chemistry and Dermatology, so ask me anything from the structure and science of your skin, how it works, and what's exactly in your skincare product.
I love my family.
I have a certain curiosity for life that
drives me and propels me forward.
I like to fill my life with pretty things.
I love cracking Crème Brûlée with a spoon.
I will always love London.
Drinking tea is one of life's greatest pleasures
I love my small bunch of beautiful friends
who are always true.
I like to dwell myself in romance
going to the bookshop for no reason.
the smell of fresh laundry and cut lemons
the smell of brand new leather
I have photographic memory
I love Tchaikovsky and Chopin's music.
I love Walt Disney and I am a huge Marie fan
I worship Longchamp Le Pliage bags
I love the fast, and the furious
I like writing in literature, and literature loves writing with me.
And finally, I would like to travel the world
where i can write a book, walk across every
beach, and listen to world.

And yes, everything in this xanga is designed by me, and I made it. I actually have little secret super computer nerd in me.
All the skincare reviews and articles that I write here are all written by me unless stated otherwise. This means that all the information that I give is all that I have learnt and is all science. I shouldn't need to copyright it because I trust you won't go and steal my writing, or alter it to claim it as your own. :)

Things I love: Shopping and spending all my money, coffee shops, pampering and bathing, classical music, make-up and beauty, marie from aristocats, kewpies, art nouveau, romantic movies, fierce and fast cars, Maximum Tune 3, Chris Brown, Ne-yo, Trey Songz, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Daniel Henney, and Prince William, Ji Maxx, LIP SERVICE, Lil'marv, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Bvlgari, Chopard, and Loewe.

Editor's Blog
What's in my Make-Up Bag?



1. Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler                            8. MAC Brun Satin Eyeshadow     
2. Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre              9. MAC Carbon Matte Eyeshadow
3. Imju Dejavu Fiberwig Mascara                    10. Dior j'adore Compact Perfume
4. MAC Brushes                                                   11. Shu Uemura Depsea Facial Mist
5. MAC Blotting Powder Pressed                     12. Clean & Clear Oil Control Facial Blotting Paper
6. MAC Satin Cherish Lipstick                          13. Oral B Satin Dental Floss
7. Dior Ultra Gloss Reflect 227                         14. Blink Contact Eyedrops
  

EMYLI'S BEAUTY MUST-HAVES!
1. SHU UEMURA EYELASH CURLER.
Cannot live without this! I don't know how many times it's gotten an award
for being the best eyelash curler in the world. Allure, Cosmopolitan, GLAMOUR-
you name it, they've probably given an award for it.
2. EMBRYOLISSE LAIT-CREME CONCENTRE
I've written a product review for this
here. I know it's a face cream, but I love it
so much I use it for my hands! It makes a great moisturizer for this winter, where your
hands can feel very dry and tight.
5. MAC BLOTTING POWDER PRESSED
An essential to your make-up bag. I don't like cakeing myself with more powder
during the day for touch-ups. Instead, I choose to use a facial blotting powder
which is a translucent powder that helps to absorb the excess oil and shine off my skin-
especially on my T-Zone areas.
10. DIOR J'ADORE COMPACT PERFUME
One of my most prized posessions! I love this perfume, and I came across this
compact version on my flight to Hong Kong. It's a perfect size, (and because it was gold)
I bought it straight away. Unfortunately, I'm heartbroken to find that
they have discontinued it.....
11. SHU UEMURA DEPSEA FACIAL MIST SPRAY
Excellent for hydrating my skin throughout the day. You can find my review
here.
12. CLEAN & CLEAR FACIAL BLOTTING PAPER
I sometimes use this before using the MAC Blotting Powder.
I don't usually carry this with me- but I help my boyfriend carry it as he uses it too!
13. ORAL B SATIN DENTAL FLOSS.
No. I don't have a tooth problem. However, I do like to floss my teeth now and then
to keep it healthy and from decay. So what? Vivian from Pretty Woman does it!
14. BLINK Eyedrops.
I wear contacts, so at times my eyes feel terribly dry and tired.
Having eyedrops handy is great for refreshing up, adding moisture to your eyes! 
And especially from clubbing!


YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED!
Now I want all my girlies to post in pictures of what's in your make-up bag,
featuring your beauty must-haves and essentials!  
I think it'll be really fun!

Anny's make-up reminds me of my own! She also has the MAC Pressed Blot Powder,
and the Blotting Films by Clean & Clear that I use during the day to help
get rid of the shine and excessive oils from my face.

My girlfriend Miyuki has great beauty must-haves!
She has great glowing skin and make-up, and I always compliment her on it!
I think it's the Dior skincare and make-up products she uses,
which give a beautiful, flawless finish.
Her choice for creating beautiful lashes without the need for fake lashes
is Rimmel London's Magnif'eyes and Volume Flash mascara.
And of course, we both cannot live with Shu Uemura's Eyelash Curler!

My G Chelly opens up her make-up bag and reveals her must-haves!

1. Johnson’s 24 hour moisture hand cream
2. MUJI mirror
3. Dior- Diorskin Forever Compact 020 SPF 25
4. Some Mac brushes
5. Mac Blotting Powder Pressed
6. Some Japanese made eyelash curler
7. Dose de Nacres mini Boujois Eyeshadow powder
8. Boujois Trio D’ombres A Paupieres Eyeshadow Trio
9. Lancome Hypnose Mascara (for volume) &
L’oreal Waterproof Telescopic Mascara (for length)
10. Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick
11. H&M Glitter Black eyeshadow


Chelly uses the Lancome Hypnose Mascara for volume and L'oreals Waterproof
Telescopic Mascara for lenghthening her beautiful lashes.
Her favourite beauty must-have is Dior's Addict High Shine Lipstick because
"it makes your lips shine yet natural-looking!"

Chelly's best beauty bargain is H&M's Glitter Black Eyeshadow, which is cheap and
doesn't smudge! She cannot live without Johnson's 24hour moisture hand cream,
which helps to keep her hand baby soft.

My favourite product is Bourjois' Eyeshadow Trio which features beautiful, romantic
shades.. perfect for the everyday look! I also love Bourjois' Mini Eyeshadow Powder
which I use myself for creating a gorgeous shimmer.

Visit Chelly's Xanga here.

Xanga User Lia shares her make-up essentials!
DSC07598

1. Peripera Wonder B.B Cream
2. Chanel Irreelle Blush – 24 Pink Cloud
3. Chanel Les 4 Ombres (eyeshadow) – 84 Sequoia
4. Missha Perfect cover B.B Cream - Colour 21
5. Space N.K Perfecting Powder – Moonlight
6. Rimmel Soft Kohl Pencil Eyeliner – Jet Black
7. Rimmel Liquid Eyeliner – Black
8. Tesco Bronze & Pink Shimmer mixed into a MAC pot!
9. Corn Silk Translucent Loose Face Powder
10. MAC Lipstick – Myth
11. Chanel Mascara
12. Go! Glitter Eyeliner (£1 from the Market! Absolute bargain!!!)
13. Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil – Dark Brown
14. Shu Uemura Eyelash curler

What I love about Lia's make-up essentials is that she has done some
custom mixing with her eyeshadows- by mixing two eyeshadows together into
into her MAC Pot, so then she can reuse this without having to throw it away.
She swears by Missha's Perfect Cover B.B Cream which contains SPF 42- 
whilst being an excellent moisturizer as well as a foundation to cover up blemishes.
She uses Chanel's Irreelle Blush because it is subtle and gives out a natural, beautiful
flush to the cheeks.

here.

Xanga User Jessica reveals her make-up must-haves!
DSC00502

1) Smashbox Dusk Fusion soft lights
2) Tiffa Mascara base- holds curls, lengths, volumizes
3) Shu Uemura eyelash curler- FAVORITE curler ever
4) Marcelle Tinted moisturizer.
5) Maybelline Instant Age rewind concealer- "for my panda eyes."
6) MAC Select Sheer Pressed powder
7) Aerie perfume spritzer- "I love this smell and I love how it has a small
version of it so I can put it in my purse :)"
8) Sephora brushes

From the bottom left to right:
1) Nexcare eye tape- for days when my eyelids are ugly
"(i.e. crying after/during fight with boyfriend. )"
2) Shiseido Majolica Majorca Lash expander
3) Dejavu Imju fiberwig mascara- "my current favorite mascara!"
4) Tweezers
5) Mini scissors for my eyebrows

Jessica uses Marcelle's Tinted moisturizers "for days when I don't want
to wear foundation but need a glow. I love this because it's so lightweight and
allows my skin to breathe."  She uses Sephora's brushes which are excellent
for girls on the go! And of course, how can anyone live without
Dejavu's Imju Fiberwig Mascara!  For an excellent concealer for those
panda eyes, Jessica recommends Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer.

Visit Jessica's Xanga here.
