Women Celebrity Fashion at the 2009 Oscars

The 81st Academy Awards, popularly known as the Oscars, honoring the best in film for 2008 was held on Sunday, February 22, 2009 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Certainly, the Oscars are a glamorous opportunity for all the women celebrities to boldly shine on. Who were the Best and Worst Dressed this year? In my opinion, they're all gorgeous and sexy!!!

Here are the women celeb who wore their dresses:

Oh, I loved Penelope Cruz's vintage Pierre Balmain haute couture gown from 1950. I'm a big fan of vintage!! She had this dress, which she bought a few years ago, in storage.



One of my fav dress, Jennifer Aniston wore a beaded Valentino Haute Couture gown paired with Jimmy Choo shoes and Bulgari diamonds. She doesn't look like she's 40!! She looked so pretty and gorgeous!!

Jessica Biel stood out on the red carpet in a silk architectural Prada gown.

Natalie Portman looked pretty and sweet in a pink lilac strapless gown by Rodarte with Kwiat jewels. This pink gown floated gracefully on both the carpet and stage. I think she was a red carpet stunner.



Angelina Jolie in a black Elie Saab gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewels. To me, she's always look gorgeous and sexy in whatever she wears.

Even though it wasn't her night to shine, the gorgeous and effortlessly stylish Halle Berry managed to demand attention in this Marchesa gown. She was smart not to over accessorize such an elaborate gown, wearing only earrings by H Stern.

Miley Cyrus wore a Zuhair Murad long and white gown paired with BCBG heels and a Mary Norton clutch. The jewelry came from Neil Lane. For me, the gown was not good for her as she looked much older than she actually is.

Beyoncé brought her brand of sexiness to the Oscars in a gold metallic gown by House of Deréon (her own brand). The copper tones and warm colours used, bring out her best features. Certainly she wore it quite well!

Anne Hathaway looking gorgeous with her smile. She wore a beautiful silver gown glistened in a jewel-encrusted mermaid dress by Giorgio Armani.



Sarah Jessica Parker looked stunning in a white sparkled Dior Haute Couture dress and paired it with Fred Leighton diamonds. Love this dress!!

Freida Pinto made a standout with her cobalt blue John Galliano's gown with Jimmy Choo sandals and a Judith Leiber clutch. She also wore a vintage 150-year-old ring from her homeland of India.

Vanessa Hudgens channeled Audrey Hepburn in a black gown by Marchesa. Loved the mermaid cut and the gown fits her figure. I think her dress looked pretty on her!

Marisa Tomei wore pleated Versace gown. Very impressive!!

Kate Winslet wore an Atelier Yves Saint Laurent by Stefano Pilati asymmetric gown with YSL shoes and clutch with diamond bracelet and earrings by Chopard.

Reese Witherspoon took risks in a bright blue Rodarte gown paired with antique Fred Leighton jewels.

Make Your Own Facial Mask At Home

There are so many home remedies that you can find and use inside your home for example like facial mask. It is good as a daily cleanser and moisturizer for most of normal to slightly oily skin. It is inexpensive, too!! To make, you need 1 tablespoon of plain Yogurt and 1 tablespoon of Honey. Add the two ingredients together and apply to a clean face. Pat this mask onto the skin for a moisturizing, penetrating, hydrating, soothing application that will also help to clear up skin problems.

Product Review: Elianto Shimmer And Aurora Shadows

I've always wanted to try on Elianto's makeup. Elianto, which means "sunflower" in Italian, showcases a unique world of beauty with irresistible range of high-quality, naturally-inspired skin care and makeup at affordable prices. It is a popular Korean makeup nowadays apart from Skin Food and The Face Shop. I've used some of Elianto and The Face Shop products. The picture below shows some of Elianto and The Face Shop products from a good friend of mine, Yanty Teo, to me as a gift on my birthday!!

1. The Face Shop's Happy Blossom Oriental Flower Body Lotion

2. Elianto's Pomegranate Lip & Eye Make Up Remover
(To my surprise, it actually works quite well at removing eye makeup, even waterproof makeup)

3. Elianto's Pomegranate Fruit Yogurt Foam Cleanser

4. Elianto's Make Up Cleansing Tissue

5. The Face Shop's Collagen Essential Mask Sheet
(The concentrations of collagen in this gentle mask sheet are effectively absorbed into skin to leave it firm and hydrated)

Now, let me show you what I bought over the weekend. I bought/selected 9 different colours of shadows (except for the Mauve - Sparkle Shadow) from Elianto. And, I also bought Elianto's 10 refills palette for just RM 17.00, which is blank palettes. I press all the shadows into the palettes including the Mauve Sparkle Shadow. I am really amazed by Elianto's makeup colors. Most of their eye makeup are sold as refills. These eye colours are between RM5.50 (Shimmer Shadow) to RM8.00 (Arora Shadow) each. I love how shimmery and sheer everything is! Love the palettes coz it makes me feel like a real makeup artist :-) All in all, it only cost me RM71.50.

The difference between Shimmer Shadow and Aurora Shadow

Shimmer Shadow is the fine eye colour powder that create natural shading for daily make up look. Dap on the powder on eyelid with make-up brush or finger tip and gently blend it over evenly.

Aurora Shadow is the microfined eye colour powder, ultra-fine powder with excellent smooth texture, and good blending properties, thus build the intensive longwearing colour finishing. Its glamour, shining and sparkling! You can gently dap on eyelid, smudge it along eyelid to intended effect or apply it as base colour hightlight.

Top Left to Right:
1. Lime Green (Shimmer Shadow)
2. Hot Blue (Shimmer Shadow)
3. Misty Grey (Shimmer Shadow)
4. Crystal Plum (Shimmer Shadow)
5. Electric Blue (Shimmer Shadow)

Lower Left to Right:
1. Black Chocolate (Aurora Shadow)
2. Golden Days (Aurora Shadow)
3. Peach Pink (Shimmer Shadow)
4. Mauve (Sparkle Shadow)
5. Nude Pink (Shimmer Shadow)

I noticed that some of the eye colours are a little bit of chalky and powdery and shimmery at the same time. The picture below shows swatches of all the eye colours. The girl at the counter told me that the eyeshadows can actually be foiled (mix with a little bit of water) to give eyes a more dramatic look... (it sounds like MAC pigments)

Picture below shows after the foiling technique.

Overall, it is affordable and it has variety of eye colours. But, the shadows didn't last very long per application.

Sorry about the blurred picture!

Product Review: MAC Select Sheer/Loose Powder

Translucent, featherweight, ultra-fine, sublimely silky. Provides sheer, micro-fine finish. Mattes the skin but keeps its natural glow. Makes skin look almost naked - MAC

I was looking for a face powder where I can touch up my makeup that day. In fact, I wanted something that stays on most of the day would be the best. Selina Lee (MAC Makeup Artist), introduced me a MAC Select Sheer/Loose Powder. This powder which comes in larger packaging goes on smooth and sets my skin perfect. I apply it over my foundation and it stays on most of the day and it makes my skin look flawless and smooth instead of looking cakey. It's quite pricey though ei. RM85. I also apply it all by itself and it works great, too. Overall, I quite like it!!
