Luvverlyn

from March 29 to April 30, Sasa is celebrating her 34^th Anniversary. And, I've joined the "Sasatinnie Celebratory Look" contest organized for bloggers. You can vote for me HERE (:

To create my "Sasatinnie Celebratory Look", Sasa sent me the following products:-

• Sasatinnie Limited Edition Fall in Love Makeup Palette 01 Vivid Purple Collection
• Sasatinnie Sugary Heart Lipgloss Palette 02 Pinky Red Collection
• Sasatinnie Sparky Liquid Eyeliner 03 Regal Blue

I totally adore the cute packaging, which some might find kiddy or whatever. Well... I'm just a kid at heart :P My heart was literally fluttering when I received 'em. heh.

Sasatinnie Limited Edition Fall in Love Makeup Palette

01 Vivid Purple Collection

Retails for $29.90.

The blush is decently pigmented and has a satin finish. For the look, I apply the mix of rosy pink and pink, then the highlighter color. Alternatively, you can swirl the trio for a lovely subdued candy pink.

I find the eyeshadows to be rather well-pigmented, which hold up well even without the use of primer. The lighter shimmery shades feel kinda gritty, while the darker shades apply very smoothly.

I like the bubblegum pink lip color, which does show up on the lips -- glossy with a hint of color.

Sasatinnie Sugary Heart Lipgloss Palette

02 Pinky Red Collection

Retails for $12.90.

This has gotta to be the prettiest among all ♥ And, the color combination is so sugary sweet!

The lip color I chose for my look!

I don't really fancy lip palettes but this is clearly an exception :P

Lipglosses in pan form, with a heart in the middle. You can use the colors alone, or mix 'em up. Like most lipglosses, they are not that pigmented, which add a bit of color and sheen to the lips.

Sasatinnie Sparky Liquid Eyeliner

03 Regal Blue

Retails for $11.90.

A beautiful shade of blue, which contains sparkly silver glitters.

The close-up finished eye makeup look.

Using Sasatinnie Limited Edition Fall in Love Makeup Palette 01 Vivid Purple Collection, I apply the shimmery pale gold shade as the base, then the pink-lavender shade all over the lids. Next, I define the outer-V using the plum and dark purple shades. I apply the same shades to the outer 1/3 of lower lashline.

Using K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyepencil, I tightline my upper lashline. Then I finish off the look with Sasatinnie Sparky Liquid Eyeliner 03 Regal Blue.

Remember to coat the lashes with waterproof mascara OR apply fake lashes.

Last Tuesday, I was invited to an exclusive KATE Bloggers' Event held at FUZE@283. Thanks Joanne for the invitation (:

The idea of holding this event at FUZE@283 was totally a brilliant one indeed! The beautiful gothic decor complement the event's theme (Black with hints of Red) so well.

And I got to know a new blogger friend, Vivian. That's June, wearing bold red lips.

I wore this edgy One Shoulder Drape Asymmetrical Dress for the event, bought from kindofwonderful.sg website. Nice eh ♥

My hints of red came from the bracelet I was wearing :p

Enter the world of KATE, where there's no more rules; unleash yourself and have fun!

And, this is the host of the night, MTV VJ Holly. Soooooo pretty!

I didn't take photos of every step, or rather I delete those super unclear ones. But I'll go through the steps in words form (:

• KATE Lasting High Coverage Powder Foundation, to smooth out her skin tone. She's got really good complexion btw.
• KATE Designing Eyebrow N, to fill her brows.
• KATE Dual Blend Eyeshadow, for eye makeup. Tip: Mix the light and deep color to get a new color.

• Brush on lightest foundation shade as highlighter (T-zone, above and below cheeks, chin).

Well, I just sat right in front since the seat wasn't occupied. And, I got to know a fellow blogger, Samantha. As usual, I'm the reserved type of person. That's why I didn't mingle around much at all. I did saw some familiar faces, but no interactions since we don't know one another well.

I believe every girl dream of having beautiful hair. Well, I'm no exception. I simply love the effortless chic look of Japanese girls. It seem that even with coloring, perming, rebonding, daily blow-drying and styling, their hair still look ridiculously beautiful !

Whenever I looked at my hair, I couldn't help but SIGH.. =_="

Just look at the difference ! My hair certainly looks healthier; well-moisturized, smoother and silkier ♥

Say bye-bye to frizzy hair :p

All thanks to..

Kao Essential ♥

Thanks for sending the lil' fairies (signature ingredients) to rescue my dry, damaged hair !

Yes, these are the generously sponsored products by Kao Essential :D

1. Essential Rich Premium Shampoo

2. Essential Rich Premium Conditioner

3. Essential Rich Premium Treatment

4. Essential Hair Mask Rich Premium

5. Essential Nuance Airy Shampoo

6. Essential Nuance Airy Conditioner

7. Essential Nuance Airy Treatment

10. Essential Nuance Airy Hair Essence

How it works ? Essential Damage Care consists of a shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment which contain high purity honey and milk protein,which help to deeply repair and strengthen damaged hair.

Through nourishing and restoring hair into a healthy condition, Essential brings lustre all the way to the last 15cm of hair, most prone to dryness, frizziness, tangles and split ends. Essential Damage Care is available in two versions: Nuance Airy and Rich Premier.

So far, I've been using the Nuance Airy range. It has given my flat limp hair a new lease of life literally. My hair now has a light and bouncy feel. It contains wild rose essence,leaving a protective layer over my hair to keep it soft and moisturized. This is just like salon-treated hair without spending huge amount of money !

As for the Rich Premier range (I had bought this range before), it helps in richly moisturizing which gives my hair a smooth and manageable feel. It contains sunflower essential oil ,leaving my hair with a glossy shiny look. It is very suitable for untameable hair.e Richly moisturizing, this gives hair a smooth andmanageable feel. Sunflower essential oil leaves hair with a glossy,wet-look sheen, keeping it in shape and preventing it from gettingpuffy. Suitable for untameable hair.

Then came the Essential Hair Essence (since July 2010), a super convenient, fuss-free leave-on treatment for damaged, dry hair ! I bought the Nuance Airy Anti-Frizz Serum the moment I saw them selling at Watsons :D

This leave-on treatment range help repair hair surface and protect it from styling, blow-drying and UV rays. Just pump adequate amount and apply. Hair becomes beautiful and shiny from root to tips, even for the last 15cm (which lasts all day long) !

Nuance Airy Anti-Frizz Serum ($10.90) has a sweet girly pink packaging, which is so appealing :D

This is a light-weight and non-greasy oil-based treatment, which helps tame frizzy hair and flyaways. Instant smooth and bouncy hair (all day long) is easily achieved.

For me, I use this before blow-drying my hair and whenever/wherever I want to achieve healthy hair shine effect. I usually pump about 3 times and spread the serum evenly onto my hair, concentrating on the damaged area (especially the hair ends). This is my staple necessity in my bag definitely :p

Rich Premier Nourishing Care Lotion ($10.90). This concentrated lotion gets absorbed easily, leaving hair soft and manageable all day long. I use this the same way for Nuance Airy. I like that it deep nourished my hair instantly.

This leave-on treatment range helps to enhance the lustrous and damage care effects of Essential's shampoo, conditioner and treatment !

Achieve Beautiful Hair with Kao Essential ♥

I was invited to the Talika Bloggers Event by Cozycot, held at The SPA-Lon @ Chijmes last Saturday. Initially I didn't plan to go hence I didn't reply the email to RSVP for the event (Paiseh~ =.=). Jones sms-ed me the day before and ask if I would like to come along for this event. It was then I decided to go :x

So, you just need to "LIKE" the photo on Facebook and comment on my blog to win these attractive prizes, that simple :D

Talika has been the expert in eyelash care since 1948, way before most of us were born ! over 4 million units (Talika Lipocils) have been sold over the last 10 years (since year 2000) ! It is also tested and proven that Lipocils extends the eyelashes by up to 2.4mm in just 1 month !

Even Barbie Hsu and Maggie Cheung swear by Talika products :D

Now to the 5 steps of using Talika products.

:

:

:

Yeah~ It was tea break after the beneficial Talika talk :D

The food were really tasty :d~ Thumbs up ! I like the mini pizzas :p~

Woohoo~ More food ! Yummy eggs :3

And then, it was decorating time ! We split ourselves into groups.

from plain to..

.. beautiful lady :p~

This is the star product that Talika has launched. Lipocils Expert, the first complete care for eyelashes with 3 complementary actions, namely:

EXTEND (Longer eyelashes)

Lipocils Expert contains 12 plant extracts that have already been tried and tested in the original Lipocils (including nettle, hamamelis and apple).

Restores Color (More intense)

Eyelash color is protected and the synthesis of natural lash color is stimulated by a brand new anti-ageing synergy of UV-phytofilters and Coleus Forskholii.

Curl (Say goodbye to eyelash curler)

Formula is enriched with silk proteins.

I was given a tube of this to review (YEAH~ ^^) This is really a very promising product as I've used the original Talika Lipocils before. This new Lipocils Expert is a combination of the original versions. Why do I say that ?

This is the first Lipocils I used years ago. The applicator is just a tip for applying the gel to the lash roots.

Then, I got this. This time, the tip is replaced by a brush for evenly applying the gel to the eyelashes.

A close-up of my eyelashes (left side). Imagine my lashes were shorter, thinner in the past =.= Ooo.. I can't wait to see the growth result of my eyelashes after 28 days ! So exciting ! Meanwhile, do share with me your experiences with eyelash care products (Talika or any other brands).
