My sis just came back from her Taiwan trip, which means new beauty goodies for me :D She bought quite a lot of sheet masks (me like!)... surprisingly no makeup at all.

SexyLook Hello Kitty Masks

Platinum + White Rose Brightening Double Lifting, Pink Cherry Moisture Double Lifting, Amethyst Polyphenols Hydrating Double Lifting Mask.

cute!

***ingredient lists***

 

My Beauty Diary Masks

Chocolate Truffle, Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing

***ingredient lists***

I only chose these few, since I've the others she bought. Wanna try 'em all soon! :P

 

I bought this Essence Nail Art Express Dry Drops coz it's just a fraction of the price of Seche Vite. I think it was $3.90 (8ml) if I remember correctly. Hope it works well...

 

The dark colored one (Anna Sui Lip Gloss R 550) was from Chantana. Looks not bad on me, me thinks :P

Here are the swatches of R 550 & C 302. They aren't too sticky, which sits comfortably on the lips. Pretty moisturizing, I would say. Ooo btw... they've the signature Anna Sui rose scent. Me loves!

 

Goodies I received for reviews and thru' random giveaways...

Talika Cream Booster, fake lashes, Peripera lippie, Mavala lip gloss set + nail color set, Sasatinnie new makeup products, Snail Cream (!!)

Stay tuned for the upcoming reviews! (:

And finally, I decided to dedicate a post to my undeclared beauty hauls & gifts of 2011. Serves as a "reminder" somehow. To "remind" me of my ever-growing beauty stash :x

This is Part 1, which features mostly makeup stuff. I won't go into details for now... Let the pics do the talking... Will feature some of 'em in future LOTD(s) & review(s)...

Been usin' this lovely MSF nowadays. I just realized it was neglected by me for quite sometime. Stereo Rose, remember? (:

I love the warm glow that it imparts on my cheeks, do you?

Hmm.. see my breakouts? T^T

What's left of 'em are unsightly scars now :/ HATES!!

A lil' camwhore session with my forever-sexy sis :3

Aiyooo.. why I not so sexy? *frowns*

 

Had an impromptu dinner date with Chantana and Jones last tues [3.1.11]. And, we settled @ Lai Lai Casual Dining @ Liang Seah Street (opp. Bugis Junction).

Candid shots by Chantana :3

I was cravin' for ru rou fan (Taiwanese Stewed Pork with Stewed Eggs on Rice), thanks to this current idol drama I'm watching -> "Calling for Love 呼叫大明星", featuring Mike He 贺军翔 and Charlene Choi 蔡卓妍.

Hmm.. I still crazy over "Secret Garden" though. I'd finished watching and it's seriously the best Korean drama I'd ever watched! Hyun Bin's acting skill is awesome! He's not just a pretty face :3 Watch it, and you'll get what I mean. You'll be so in love, like I do!

Watch this special episode of "Secret Garden", thanks to Jones's great find! The top 10 scenes, especially the no.1.. ♥

Satisfied meal! Love the fatty bits :d~ *slurps*

Chantana's beef & tendon kway teow.

Jones's beef & tendon noodles.

We ordered sets which came with bubble red milk tea, very disappointing taste :/

Other than the drinks, the food tasted great! The meals come with sides as well. We ordered different ones to try out. This is the squid dish, forgot the exact name :x

Braised pig's large intestines. Yummy!

Braised pork knuckles (boneless). Very fatty and sinful but taste oh-so-good! teehee~

 

 

The any-how camwhore session! We seriously took alot of funny photos hahas!

See how short I am, next to Jones T^T

Must think of more poses/expressions for future camwhore sessions! LOL

Ending this post with this photo of cute Lightning McQueen. Thanks for reading (:

Hmm.. I've been haulin' on blushers recently, namely drugstore AND counter brands. Yes, I do know that I've one face. BUT I'm pretty sure many of you are "guilty-as-charged", no? (x

Some time ago, everyone was tweeting about this particular blush which arouse my curiosity then. The "want" in me grew day by day, and I'd been thinkin' about it 24/7. Nah, I ain't kidding =.= And so, I decided to order it online since it's much cheaper @ US$28. Now, I do understand why ladies are literally goin' gaga over this latest blusher from Benefit.

BELLA BAMBA, anyone?

The color is mostly described as a 'beautiful watermelon pink' and a 'brightened medium pink with pale gold shimmer-sheen' (by Temptalia).

Here's a swatch of Bella Bamba. Aww.. See the pretty gold shimmers! It's pigmented enough for an intense look, and works just as fine for a softer blended look.

Super close-up photo which shows how beautiful Bella Bamba is on my cheeks AND erm.. my horrendous-looking PORES too! EEKS~

Argh.. I wished I've perfect skin.. I wished.. *dreaming away*

My eye makeup using MAC pigments..

My real lashes, FYI (;

Just one mascara is needed and of coz, do CURL lashes beforehand (using Koji No.73 lash curler). Hmm.. My bottom lashes are kinda pathetic though T^T

• TFSI
• NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Pallet - The Runaway Collection 03 Champagne & Caviar

Before I end this post, I MUST show y'all my current lemmin' - Guerlain Blush G Serie Noire! Always on mind nowadays. HOW?

A pink AND coral lover's dream that is. See how pretty the colors are! 4-in-1 somemore..

And so, I swatched this beautiful blusher @ Sephora Ion. I left without buying.

What do you think? Have you bought this blusher? If not, will you buy it.. at $71?

Just a simple glowy LOTD. Btw, FYI my LOTD-s are usually always back-dated :D

Ignore my lil' lash fall-out on my nose =.=

Marina Bay Sands (MBS), here I come !

Last last friday, I attended Secretive's "Diamond Sparkle VIP Party" together with Ryna and Jessie.

Inside MBS. We were at Tower One btw.

The bathroom is HUMONGOUS ! I literally gasped when I saw the bathroom (X

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). Mag (makeupstash) and Iris (rougedeluxe) were in attendance as well.

Now, you know what I mean by HUMONGOUS ? There's a bathtub as well ! The size of the bathroom bigger than the hotel room I stayed in HK =.=

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). Jessie, yours truly and Ryna.

Hmm I didn't really try out much of the products. Later you'll know why x: I caught a whiff of ElishaCoy Milk Cacao Black Sugar Scrub and the cacao smell was very distinct indeed. An uncanny resemblance to Nutella XD

Tried the ElishaCoy BB All-In-One Cleanser as well. It foams well and I love the hint of floral scent.

My OOTD. Diamond/Sparkle is the theme.

The makeup vanity case filled with goodies.

And, we were told to choose one ! *Happy* So hard to choose ! *Confused*

This kept me busy for quite awhile long :p

Me love blings !

And, ribbons !

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). That's me, busy decorating.

Look at the erm.. mess we created x:

Guess which one is my masterpiece ? ^^v

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page).

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). Can someone teach me how to photoshop ? PLS.

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). SERIOUSLY.

(Credits to Ryna). Absolutely love this photo ! ♥

Goodie bag consisting of:

• SexyLook Extra Brightening Duo Lifting mask (5pc/box)
• Elishacoy Limited Edition Special BB Set

 

The bling-bling lashes I chose :p

Thanks Lush Beauty for the warm hospitality and the wonderful goodie bag (I ♥ sheet masks and BB creams) ! It was truly an enjoyable night and I look forward to more bloggers' events like this ! Till then (:

 

After the event ended, we proceeded to Beanstro for the usual caffeine fix. More atas than Coffeebean in a sense, which simply means you'll be charged for 10% service charge and 7% GST. How nice =.=

Mocha Latte for me, this time.

My LOTD was pretty much Indie-inspired, mainly b'coz of the colors used. MAC Mineralize e/s "It's a Miracle" (Magic, Mirth & Mischief collection).

Temptalia described the color as a rich, jewel-toned purple with golden shimmer combined with a crescent of glittery gold.

Eyes:

• MAC Mineralize e/s "It's a Miracle"
• Nature Republic Star Prism e/s SWH004 Sparkle Silver
• L'oreal Chrome Intensity Eye Palette (Timeless Green)
  

• Anna Sui Eyeliner Pencil WP 900
  

• Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara
• Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara - Black

• Maybelline Perfect Concealer 01
  

 

That's all for now (:

It was a mini pre-birthday celebration at a restaurant/bar, located at Boat Quay.

The Dallas Cheesecake. An all-time classic favourite. Cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries and sauce. $10, on the house btw.

And so, we were at Dallas.

Chocolate Brownie. Moist chocolate brownie with a big luscious scoop of vanilla ice cream. $10. I thought I tasted rum =.= Oh well, the ice-cream was de-li-cious :d~

I didn't really like the strawberry margarita. The one at Cafe Iguana is seriously heavenly and I love happy hour deals ! Best margarita I've had so far !

We had the Dallas Platter. A combination of Dallas wings, chicken and cheese quesedillas, salt & pepper calamari. $30 for 4 pax.

Cheese quesedillas were pretty good. My 1st time eating these. There's salsa sauce, the greenish thingy is avocado sauce and dunno-what sauce x:

Salt & pepper calamari tasted good but personally, I think Modesto's ones tasted better.

Hmm the chicken wings look rather normal but in fact, they tasted much better than I expected. Looks are deceiving eh.

Baby Back Berry (Full Rack) $32. Slowly braised pork ribs served with red cabbage slaw and potato wedges.

Not bad. The meat was soft and tender. I must really say that I do love the berry sauce, interesting mix of sweet and savoury taste :d~ The portion was just right for us.

Classic Beer Battered Fish and Chips. $23. Slices of white fish dipped in beer batter and fried to golden brown. Served with red cabbage slaw and Dallas Fries. Very normal, didn't WOW me at all.

Overall, a rather good place to chill and relax.

 

Some camwhorin' photos we took.

My LOTD using L'oreal Chrome Intensity Eye Palette (Timeless Green). And, did you actually notice the change in my hair color ? Yes, black now.

I used the white as the base, green on the eyelid, black on the outer eyelid. Black and brown to fill my brows :p

Eyes:

• L'oreal Chrome Intensity Eye Palette (Timeless Green)
• L'oreal Paris HIP Color Chrome eyeliner (Black Shock)
  
• Anna Sui Eyeliner Pencil WP 900
  
• Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara

• Maybelline Perfect Concealer 01

Face:

The Face Shop Pure Blossom Shimmering BB Cream SPF15 PA+

Alobon Baked Blusher no.03

That's all if you don't wanna see any more of my camwhore photos (:

Jaded, pretty much.

 

*Note: Products highlighted are sponsored for review purposes.

Just neutral colors used.

I didn't use black eyeliner as well. Very work appropriate, great for dating *grins* and when you don't feel like having fancy colors (think blue, green, purple, etc) on your eyes *duh*.

The whole look, is well, natural in a sense. You can safely skip the colored lenses, really.

What I used ?

• Sana Naginata Eyebrow 03 Honey
• Stila Kitten e/s
• Rimmel 007 Cafe Latte Palette
  
• Anna Sui Eyeliner Pencil WP 900
  
• Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara
  
• Skin79 Absolute Total BB Cream SPF37 PA+++
  
• Lioele Real Crystal Powder Pact no.2
  
• Shu Uemura Glow On Blush - Sienna Marble
  

 

Scroll down all the way if you're more interested in food than my camwhorin' photos. Hahas !

Went to Kko Kko Nara, located near Tanjong Pagar MRT station. Oh, they're famous for their fried chicken btw.

Dinner opening hours start at 530pm and we were their 1st customers ! See -> nobody at sight.

Stoned look coz I was SUPER HUNGRY !

Hmm the ventilation of the place wasn't so good. It's inevitable that we'll smell of Korean food after which =.=

Side dish, I forgot what is this ._.

??, cucumber, kimchi.

Simply no regrets ordering this kimchi soup with pork ! Delicious to the max and very filling too ! There's mushroom, broccoli, tofu, onion, kimchi and belly pork slices :d~ Just add $5 for a bigger serving. The soup is so good that we literally finished every single bit, no kidding ! Heavenly, divine~

Rice set which comes with fried egg and the round thingy I dunno what izzit =.= Looks like luncheon meat eh.

And so, fried chicken is their specialty. At 1st, it did sound pretty weird to me coz I'll think of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) instead. We ordered the soy garlic sauce fried chicken. Guess how much this dish cost ? $20++ !! Freaking expensive !! BUT damn freaking delicious as well !! Imagine paying $5 for a chicken wing. DOTS. It's best to visit Kko Kko Nara during lunch time coz they've food items that ain't available during dinner time. PLUS the price of food items are cheaper during lunch time !

Thanks for reading !

What did you do on 11.01.11 ?

That day night, I went for my agency celebration dinner @ Palm Beach Seafood (One Fullerton). Thanks Carey (my manager), for the treat !

V54, CAA.

Love the night scenery.

Same wide smiles ^^

(Photos with dates, credit to Shannon, my dear gf in pink ♥)

I used my camera to take only a few pathetic photos eg. this. Hahas xD

Most of the food items were pretty much disappointing.

My favorite dish, the soup was really super tasty !

Yum yum :d~

Crab feast: Double-Baked Crab, Chili Crab and Black Pepper Crab. The most drool-worthy one is the Award-winning Double-Baked Crab.

Dessert time. Fruits galore: mango, jackfruit, mangosteen, longan and i-dunno-what-izzit-called =.=

My LOTD was very simple, since I didn't want to do smoky eyes.

I used the Rimmel 007 Cafe Latte Palette I won from Faezah.

Swatches above are without base, below are with TFSI as base.

The brown is reddish which looks kinda vampish. I applied rather lightly which makes the look more "friendly" ? The colors look dull and boring but actually they're not. I do like the colors pretty much.

What I used ?

• Sana Naginata Eyebrow 03 Honey
• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
  
• Rimmel 007 Cafe Latte Palette
  
• ZA Cutie Curl Volume Mascara
  
• Silkygirl Silky White Lightening Liquid Foundation 01 Ivory
• Lioele Real Crystal Powder Pact no.2
  
• Shu Uemura Glow On Blush - Sienna Marble
  
• L'oreal Super Liner Black
• Anna Sui Eyeliner Pencil WP 900
