During the K-Palette week, I went for the complimentary makeover session @ BHG Bugis on 15th July (Fri).

I did my own base makeup before heading out. In case you're wondering what blusher I used, that's Chanel Joues Contraste Rouge Powder Blush.

Btw, the oh-so-famous Amazing Concealer ain't working amazingly for me. I tried using it to conceal my zits and redness. Apparently, it failed to do so. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! It ain't cheap yo. To think I actually bought the 30ml! :/

Before the makeover session, I collected my Beauty Carousel prize @ Japalang Pte Ltd (Enterprise One). I swatched on K-Palette nail polish (the glittery ones) while waiting for 'em to pass me the prize.

My favorite? The turquoise one.

Available only online - Beauty Carousel.

 

Woah! I was the 1st one to arrive. Kiasu much?

Eeks! Eye-bags! :s

Sawako-san, doing the makeover. Kawaii look that is.

Eyeliner is my makeup essential.

With and without fake lashes certainly makes a huge difference! >.<~~

The finishing touch......

Kawaii? *lololol*

Credits to K-Palette FB Fanpage for the above image.

Me & Sawako-san. Thanks for the kawaii make-over! ♥

And, thanks Ariel for helping me take sooo many photos!

A close-up shot of the eye makeup. See how naturally-drawn the "bottom lashes" are!

And, it's time to camwhore. This is like only about 10% of the photos I took.. :x

With flashlight, the images are much clearer.

What do you think of the makeover?

Anyway, thanks for looking! (:

Life is about random whatnots. If you're lucky, you get surprises. If not, just too bad. Life goes on. But most importantly, do remember that happiness lies in your hands. When you're feeling down, think of others who are worse off than you. They're more than willing to be in your shoes, really. Don't think of what you don't have, but rather think of what you have. Contentment is truly a bliss. Don't feel that you're the only one going thru' bad times, many others are too (just that you ain't aware). And the saying goes, "Don't do unto others what you don't want others do unto you."

Here's my super random collective hauls. Hmm.. I can't really keep up with my haul posts. That's just not good hahas (x

I received a Dr Jart+ Most Moist package from Confirm Trading for participating in their FB Fanpage mini contest. Clearly, I wasn't the top 3 comments with the most number of likes. But they were very nice enough to let me do the review for the effort I put in, for being no.4 ^^v Yeah I was super happy when I received their email. Many thanks to Joann for contacting me!

The products I received:

• Dr Jart+ Most Moist Water Sure Gel
• Dr Jart+ Most Moist Waterfuse BB Cream
• Dr Jart+ Most Moist Sleeping Mask
• Dr Jart+ Most Moist Water-Act Skin Mist
  

 

I'll be posting reviews on them soon. Stay tuned (:

My all-time-favorite, My Melody! The lil' kawaii coin pouch comes free with this Seventeen magazine. A pity that the workmanship isn't that perfect though.

And so, this year no CNY visiting (relatives). Somehow, CNY has lost its festive meaning to me a long time ago. Shan't elaborate on this. Not here to dampen your mood (:

The only visiting was at my colleague's place.

My 1st lou hei. No salmon =.=

HUAT ar!!

I was super afraid when I 1st saw this golden retriever. Yes, a golden retriever that is. Hair shaven off =.=

He was feeling emo coz no more long golden locks for him.

 

 

Dinner at 4 Fingers Bonchon (Ion orchard) with Chantana and Jones before the movie, "The Green Hornet (2011)". We had 4 chicken wings each! I had a mix of soy garlic (left) and spicy (right). They are NOT the BEST chicken wings in S'pore, seriously. The meat was too dry for my liking. Overcooked :/ I just ate only the skin towards the end.

The fries were so-so. Well, I don't think they are consistent with the quality of food so I shall not "condemn" them for now.

Enjoyed the movie. We were LOL-ing throughout. My laughter was the loudest as usual. Aiyooo!~

 

 

Chantana shared this on FB. Woo!~

 

 

Random dinner with Ah xin during the CNY period. Fried black carrot cake. Love the generous serving of eggs! $2 only!

Thai pineapple fried rice with fried egg. Not bad, but we waited very long! The blur uncle forgot my order despite me going there 3 times to ask about my order!!

Tom Yam Seafood. Normal, nothing fantastic

 

 

Breakfast with Ah xin again, coz I couldn't get to sleep. Love Sausage McGriddles With Egg!! Nom nom nom :d~

 

 

Random dinner with Ah mei. The mee siam was pretty good, just that it wasn't hot enough.

Nasi padang I think. Quite tasty.

The spicy chicken wasn't spicy and the meat was too dry.

 

 

Me is Rat. This year seems to be pretty good for me ♥

as above is the haul i've gotten.. not all for myself la :p i've gotten myself dhc blotting lotion & dhc acne whitening gel. now grab 'em at only $50 for 3 for the former & $80 for 3 for the latter.. dhc seldom have discount.. so yups ;) the rest are my lil sista's..

and, these r the samples i managed to get from the dhc rep.. frankly speaking, dhc reps standard r damn horrible.. as compared to fancl's.. 1 of the rep's skin was sooo bad.. i mean reali veryveryvery extremely bad kind.. patchy skin with too-white foundation.. acne scars r literally all over the face +_+ jus bcoz i had a breakout on my chin. she told me i could use dhc acne spot gel to clear the acne.. i told her i bought it already(which i reali did & like it pretty much).. i looked at her & was indeed not convinced that the products she recommend me r gd if i was new to dhc =,= anyways, she kinda ignore me & i jus proceeded on with looking at the dhc products.. another lady serve me.. at least her skin is average though on the matured side.. yea, she was the one who gave me the samples.. i love the salicylic acne wash & face milk samples as i've since used up 2 of them each.. with the help of them & the acne spot gel, my acne is cleared, finally ! it's damn annoying coz it's too bloody big & there's no way i could conceal it =,= i shall buy them when they r on sale :x hahas !

i bought majolica majorca jewel eyes BL711, one of the 3 for $50 buys.. this retails for $27.50 usually.. if u prefer pigmented shades, this is not for u (:

kate metallic color gel liner i bought at m'sia sasa.. for $37ringgit.. gold shade i likeee !

two random buys frm ta zhiang, a shop selling rhomlon makeup, hair accessories, etc.. the colors look reali lovely, yes ? the 1st palette shades r highly pigmented i would say.. $4.90 for 8 colors.. u do the math hahas ! there r other palettes too.. will grab 'em if i like these two.. as for the 2nd palette, there wasn't any testers so i jus bought without trying.. $8.90.. $4 more but i couldn't resist la >,<

kate brown eye liner bought at watsons m'sia.. only $16ringgit :x dhc lash tonic bought at watsons sg.. haven't try yet coz i'm happily using my talika lipocils ^^ cyber colors silver glitter liner at sasa m'sia only $9.90ringgit !! paul & joe's face color bought at sg beauty.. kate deep eyes palette GY-1 at sasa m'sia.. garnier face powder at watsons m'sia $11ringgit only !!

my recent stage haul ! my sis bought a cream concealer, 2 wonderglosses - venus & helen.. i bought gaia & dido.. wonderluxe lippie - naughty nude.. wonderlust lippie - gisele.. $8 each.. free stage nail color - innocent.. choose from 4 shades.. i rem got copper, deep maroon red, mauve.. this is valid for stage members with $45 above purchase.. there's 40% storewide not applicable for certain products eg. accessories etc.. the blusher was bought separately using my $10 voucher before this sale.. so i paid $15.. kinda redundant voucher coz of the 40% discount right now +_+ and ya, if u wanna buy liquid foundation or concealer at 50% discount, pls bring along any used liquid foundation or concealer to get the discount.. only limited to one purchase per customer.. so is either one.. u can bring along ur frens or brothers or boyfriends or whoever if u wanna buy more *winks ;D

mac mineralize eyeshadows - odd couple & fresh green mix.. jill stuart limited ed 101 vintage glaze.. bought at sg beauty.. yes finally, my very first jill stuart makeup !! i love my awesome buys !!

i've been lemming for this foundation powder for the longest time hahas ! finally i got this laneige sliding pact_ex(white plus renew) /bright skin tone 2 at $25 which is abt half the retail price i guess..

unique & effective multi functional pact provides natural coverage & luminous pearlescent complexion. excellent whitening cum long lasting uv protections.
the result: pure, matt, soft and luminant morning time makeup as it is. hope it's reali as awesome as it claims *cross fingers

this one also !! but only left one shade.. and, i bought it anyway :x laneige snow crystal dual foundation in deep beige 33.. for more dark medium skin tones.. umm i figure that i can jus use light tone loose powders over them so yups :x plus, it doesn't reali seem that dark afterall when i tested on.. my hand.. fyi, u r suppose to test on jawline for better accuracy.. oh wells..

this dual foundation has a concealer at the top and a foundation at the bottom. amazing, yes ! the foundation comprises the honey comb structure which conjuncts moisturizing ingredients and brings upon the cross linking complex – a complex that runs moisture like a cobweb, keeping moisture running all day. the result: imperfections like dark circles and blemishes are concealed and skin is kept moist and comfortable all day.

next up, is the laneige skin veil foundation in 21 natural beige.. more suitable for my skin tone.. can't wait to try all of 'em !!

laneige clear-c effector.. it's said to be a booster for transparent skin. to be applied after cleansing using cotton pad or ball every morning & night before skincare. it smells gd :x

laneige waterproof lip & eye makeup cleanser samples.. this dual layer cleanser and remover suits all skin types and effectively removes waterproof and heavy makeup on the lip and eye area.. i stil prefer maybelline or loreal ones.. or the expensive lancome one..

high perm curling mascaras.. i'm not reali liking 'em much yet.. hmm.. the world’s first disc rubber brush.. the brush is perfect for short stubborn lashes which refuse to curl as it comes with insuppressible curling power – curling lashes up to 70 degrees. jelly thickener wax enables lashes to stay flexible and soft while the fixed polymer enhances the mascara’s curling properties by curling and setting the perfect curl all day. umm.. i aint convinced yet..

highly pigmented babies !! i chose these 4 coz i don't wanna get so many :p i tink i'll love 'em pretty much *grins

snow crystal melting glossy lippie in happy pink ! will it make me happieee applying this alone ? hahas hope so.. i love pink !! ;)
