I realized I haven't been playing with my makeup palettes though I'd bought so many... *facepalm*

Recently, I revisited Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box. I was using it consistently for these few weeks, creating different looks with this versatile palette alone.

Hmm... I think I need to must show some love to my other palettes soon!

I've been having this for one year plus I think... My sis has the same palette :D

The ten shades:-

• YDK
• Flipside
• Grifter
• Uzi
• Twice Baked
• Midnight Cowboy Rides Again
• Flash
• Oil Slick
• Kiddie Pool
• Half Baked

 

 

Swatch-time...

These eyeshadows are swatched beautifully without UDPP.

They are a shimmery and glittery lot, especially Uzi and Midnight Cowboy Rides Again.

 

Here are the various LOTDs I'd created...

***without UDPP***

This is a recycled pic from my review on Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream. I used the cream-colored base from Integrate Rainbow Grade Eyes BR701 as the base color. Then, I applied Flash on the eyelid, over K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyepencil. To make the eyes look even, I usually draw a thicker liner for my monolidded right eye. Curling the lashes and applying mascara is a must, to make the eyes look lifted, hence more even.

I wish my right eye becomes doublelidded soon! My left eye used to be monolidded... >.<

My LOTD for the review on CandyDoll. On my nails -- Show Time by Mavala.

***with UDPP***

For this look, I used Grifter as the base color and Flash on the eyelid. I applied Milani Liquif'Eye Milani Liquif'Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil (Black) thickly for both eyes, slightly winged. That's my new HG black eyeliner, by the way. Better than MUFE and UD, in my opinion. The black is super duper intense and glides on oh-so-smoothly. Awesome stuff, if you don't already know. I saw this at John Little for $19.90, which is a total rip-off! I suggest you get it online for less than $10?

 

***without UDPP***

Hmm... cream-colored base from Integrate Rainbow Grade Eyes BR701 as the base color (again). Then I applied YDK on the eyelid, Twice Baked as the liner color. For the bottom lashline, I added a pop of color -- Flipside.

To define the eyes, I tightlined using K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyepencil.

My pretty in nude lips, using the new Mavala Lip Gloss 27 Litchi.

 

My LOTD for the Tocco Tenero post.

***without UDPP***

Twice Baked on the eyelid and Midnight Cowboy Rides Again on the eye contour area. I like this quick and easy look, took me less than 5 mins.

 

Okay, here comes the favorite look of the lot!

For this look, I used 6 colors - Flipside, Grifter, Uzi, Flash, Oil Slick & Kiddie Pool.

Fyi, this was my LOTD for the Maybelline event.

***without UDPP***

• Flipside on the outer eyelid
• Grifter on the eye contour area
• Uzi on the inner corner of eyes and inner bottom lashline
• Flash on the outer bottom lashline
• Oil Slick as the liner for the bottom lashline, winged out
• Kiddie Pool on the inner eyelid

 

A special mention on the lovely mascara combination I used -- Majolica Majorca Lash Bone Black Fiber + Fairy Drops Volume Burst Waterproof Mascara. Both holy grail of mine. I believe the photos are justifiable enough?

 

Okay, that's all. Thanks for looking!

Happy Monday (:

The random post(s) are here to stay. Or so I thought. Blogging about non-beauty related stuff... and what's coming next for beauty-related posts (product mentions/reviews/events).

Some time ago, I found this beauty lying on the wet bathroom floor. For a moment, I thought it was dead. And luckily, I did the right thing by picking it up gently by its wings instead of washing it away. It was very much alive!

It didn't fly away, even when I touched it several times. Gave me ample time to get my camera to capture these shots.

"LOVE 爱" movie is one of the "now showing" movies in the cinemas. It's been a long time since I last saw Ethan Ruan on-screen. To be honest, I was quite "disturbed" by his current hair-style... *SAD* Mark Chao certainly looks better in the movie poster.

Anyone watch "LOVE 爱" yet?

These simple-decorated buttercream cakes spell - nostalgia... I used to dislike the taste of the saltish buttercream when I was young. Now, I obviously don't :d~

Pontian Wanton Mee... and my must-order kopi!

More Instagram-ed pics of food... & kopi (lol)

My bro bought the Olympus Tough (shockproof/waterproof) for ~$300. Takes pretty good pics, judging from the ones he took during his KL trip. He also bought an oven toaster (Tefal) :D

Watched "This Means War" with my sis. Thanks F*** Magazine for the premiere tix and mouse pad! We were laughing along with everyone else in the movie theatre throughout the show. Not as action-packed as I thought. Overall, it was a pretty watchable movie. By the way, Chris Pine & Tom Hardy look so much better in the movie as compared to the poster. Hmm... Reese Witherspoon was the opposite though.

My 1st time trying Share Tea... I still prefer Gong Cha! Very addicted to GC Oolong Milk Tea (House Special) ♥

To end off this random post, I received a goodie package (CandyDoll/Kameria/L'egere) from Jaslyn (M.O.S.S (S) Pte Ltd) last week (Thanks!). Will be featuring them in the upcoming posts.

My favorite $2 hauls from Nanairo - eyebrow mascara, black glitter eyeliner, mosaic blush. Best buys ever. These are also sold at Guardian Pharmacy/John Little at least $8, some >$10. What a rip-off!

Oh, another best buy from Watsons. Neutrogena Fine Fairness BB Cream UV 50% off = $10.95 *HAPPY MAX* Chantana bought this too. We've been wanting to try this for the longest time!

Ok, that's all. Have a great weekend! (:

More and more new brands/products... That might explain the never-ending haul(s) we've? >.<~~

It's gonna be a random post about some "new" stuff spotted @ Watsons AND Guardian. No review(s), just swatches.

CandyDoll is now available @ Watsons. Price range is $25.90 - $33.90 (correct me if I'm wrong). The product range is quite.. pathetic though.. Only lipglosses, lipsticks, mineral face powder.. That's about it.. -___-"

No testers available for all, only selected.

CandyDoll Mineral Face Powder in Crystal Pearl. The powder feels soft and finely-milled.

As seen from the pics, the powder has very fine shimmers. Heard alot of raves about this product. So I might get it eventually? FYI, there's a normal version with no shimmers.

I swatched CandyDoll Lipgloss in Macaroon Pink and Peach Orange. The top right corner swatch is CandyDoll Highlight - Cream Beige.

ZA launched a series of mascaras, eyeliners recently.

I only swatched the eyeliners. Seemed pretty normal to me. A rather intense black. Anyway, I think only the ZA liquid eyeliner is new. The others are repackaged? I know not.

Hmm.. I swatched this CandyDoll Lipstick but I'd no idea what shade is this.. Not stated on the tester.. Milky beige-orange kinda shade..

Canmake's new fake eyelashes with transparent band.. Got a few to choose from..

There're bottom lashes too! $9.90 each.

The much talked about product recently. In case you missed my review on Bioré Marshmallow Whip Facial Wash, CLICK HERE :D

Okay, let's move on to Guardian. Spotted KATE limited edition eyeshadow palettes ($27 each). I can't seem to find these @ Watsons though.

Pinkish beige-brown shades.

Golden brown shades.

The usual KATE eyeshadow quality. Sheer but buildable colors.

That's all for now. Thanks for popping by!

After the Bio-essence event ended, I went to meetup with my gf. Initially thought of just going for some caffeine fix at Coffee & Toast (Citylink Mall). We somehow ended at a place where we shouldn't be x:

No, not KFC. We went to Chicking (Marina Square). Jessie recommended this place as the chicken meat is tender and juicy :d~ YUM YUM ! And not oily, I like ! We shared the 2pc chicken meal as we did have lunch. Umm this was a mini tea break LOL

 

The meal consists of chicken ribs (her favorite), chicken drumstick (my favorite), whipped potato x 2 & ice lemon tea. $6.50 but we paid only $5.50 coz got discount coupon :p

KFC, Popeyes, Arnold's, Chicking. Which one you prefer ?

Chicking whipped potato has a buttery taste which I like. BUT I don't like the brown gravy. Luckily, Jessie's preference is exact opposite xD

A few hours later, Kelvin picked ups up and drove us to Golden Mile Food Centre for dinner.

I had the famous Chung Cheng Prawn Mee (dry). Generous serving indeed for just $3 ! See the amount of chilli o.O There's prawn, pork ribs, sliced eggs, tau pok. Not the best I'd eaten so far. The soup was pretty good (refillable somemore). I still ♥ Beach Road Prawn Noodle House !

Jessie's favorite famous 91 Char Kway Teow, which I don't really like much. Rather healthy coz of the veggies added, without pork/lard sounds so wrong =.= I still prefer the sinful version with lotsa pork/lard x:

Camwhore time :3

On my face:

• Bio-essence Platinum BB Cream
  
• Lioele Real Crystal Powder Pact no.2 (sparingly on eye area only)
• Muji Pink Swirl Blush

 

On my eyes:

• Sana Naginata Eyebrow 03 Honey
• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
  
• Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara
  
• Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara - Black
• CandyDoll Highlighter - Marshmallow Purple
  
• SMH e/s - Ultra Violet
• Ed Pinaud Magical e/s No.05
• Etude House Eye Glow Pencil 2

On my lips:

• Nature Republic Age Slick Dual Secret Lip Color & Gloss 04 Coral Pink

 

I like that it's non sticky and gives my lips a fuller look. I love this pink on me and the awesome shimmers ♥ It stays on pretty well and my lips did feel moisturized. No annoying scent. The downside is none other than the rather bulky packaging. That's about it. Thanks for reading (:

This is Part 1 of collective hauls over several months. I'll just let the pictures do all most of the talking (:

MAC face brushes I bought @ Sephora Ion after seeing Christie getting 'em :D Umm.. I haven't start using as yet.

Comes in a chic black brush casing.

Candydoll Highlight (light purple) I bought from Shoponblog (previous owner).

Beauty Credit Lovely Q10 Foundation Moist and free samples ! Bought it @ Jurong Point just to try since it's on 50% discount :p

I bought this as well, Beauty Credit Nail Polish. To me, it seems to be holographic ? Pretty blue, isn't it ?

Muji Blushers I bought from Muji Ion. I guess only that oulet has the makeup section ? I don't see 'em @ other outlets. Do correct me if I'm wrong (: The pink one with swirls, is more pigmented. The shimmery orangey one is more for highlighting, not pigmented -.- The packaging does remind me of Shu Uemura, yes ?

Muji Eyeshadow Palette. I chose this neutral one and it was well pigmented for the low price tag ($13.90 I think). I did a LOTD using this sometime back, you may wanna take a look. There are other colors to choose from, eg. blue, green etc.

Urban Decay Nail Polish set I bought @ $25. I saw this selling @ $45 after I bought for a few days :D Now, I think it's sold out already ? Pretty value for $ for 7 nail polishes ! Less than $4 each ! All thanks to Iris (Rougedeluxe) for the heads up (:

Ardell Fake Human Lashes. I haven't tried this brand lashes before. Notice that the lash band is transparent ? Ooo hope this looks good on me :p

Yes Burt's Bees again. Lip Balm again. Nourishing sounds good. Mango butter sounds yummy :x The beeswax sounds interesting. Fantastic reasons to buy & try eh !

Hmm I bought this Sephora Smoothing Primer since it mattifies my skin well and make it smooth for foundation powder application. After hearing Chantana saying that it contains alot of parabens, I don't know if I should use it -_-" Ignorance is bliss, not ?

I just bought this so that I can use Sephora voucher to offset the purchase. Sephora nano pencil. I remember the color is dark steel gray if I'm not wrong :x Btw it's mini size, something like those GWP size you know. $9, not exactly cheap -.-

Here's the LOTD featuring both the MUFE Lab Shine Metal Collection M0 Onyx and Star Collection S8 Ruby Red.

I bought this Kose Black Mask because of BOGO (Buy One Get One), shared with my lil' sis. I've been using this since many years ago and one tube can last for a long time :D It can remove the face impurities as well as fine facial hairs :p For more stubborn blackheads/whiteheads, nosepacks are still the best ! They work miracles !

Btw one tube is with the box packaging, one without. Hahas I'm so random XD~

Hmm BOGO also. Buy the Dejavu Fibrewig Extra (length) or the Lash Knockout (volume),and get the "old" Fibrewig free -.- All their mascaras are easily washed off using warm water.

Free full size skincare products given to me for.. *secret* Anyway, I've not seen this Korean skincare brand - C.A.D before. Hmm..

Garnier oil control whitening cream (free gentle clarifying foam, perfect fit & relax whitening mask) set. I bought this sometime back with Candy @ NAC Watsons.

Kracie Mask @ $1.95 each, that's why I bought @ Bedok Central Watsons ^^

Super regretful buy ! $9.90, so expensive though it's Darkness brand :/ Plaza Singapura John Little is selling for $5.90 only ! I can buy 2 of these :/

Non mu-related buys. Shoes @ fabulous discounted prices from 313 New Look ! This was only $13.90 I think, comfy girlie flats I like :p

So far I like their shoes pretty much, recommended by my dear girl friend :D

Not from New Look. Bought this @ a pinky girlie shop (Wisma Atria) near BHG. High heels but it's doesn't hurt my feet much, to my delight (:

That's all for now. Part 2 coming up ♥
