Last month, I joined Jermaine to be the skincare demo model for KOSE roadshow @ Tampines Mall Atrium. Thanks gal for asking me along! ^3^

So there I was, half face with KOSE Seikisho Mask White. Formulated with black nano-powder, which eliminates causes of dull complexion to maintain pure white clarity.

I've repurchase this mask several times already. My skin SOS mask!

This was actually my 2nd time volunteering.

Me, Celest & Jermaine.

We both envy Celest's flawless complexion! She did told me that her good skin is genetic.. (:

My lovely companion for the 2 days! :D

So many things to talk about! "G-string" mega joke! LOLOLOL

Goodie bag which consists of the new KOSE Sekkisei Supreme Whitening Eye Cream & Powder Foundation BO-300.

KOSE Sekkisei Supreme Powder Foundation BO-300. A concept originated from skincare; promoting skin translucency that looks more natural your bare skin. True enough, after trying this for consecutively 2 days, it gives a natural radiant finish on my face which I really like! Will be reviewing this on a later date.

I've too many brand new foundations/powders! It doesn't help when I keep buying more.. >.<"

The NEW KOSE Sekkisei Supreme Whitening Eye Cream.

Am currently using Kiehl's Darkness Diminishing Activated Eye Treatment (for few weeks). So far so good. Will review after finishing it.

It's been a whole week since my last post. Now, on to Part 2 of my Undeclared Hauls & Gifts 2010.

This was a Dior sale haul, which coincided with Shiseido sale haul (not posted as yet). A day of massive hauling, indeed. I almost grabbed ALL the Dior quints =.= Well, almost. It was really hard to choose which to get !! And the price was IRRESISTIBLE !!

A better representation of the colors.

Got myself 2 lippies as well. Rouge Dior Replenishing Lip Color 858 Red Scene and 434 Interview Pink.

I knew I had to get my hands on this after reading Lotus Palace blog.

Something from Kanebo ?

What could it be for $118 ?!

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter smells freaking awesome I tell ya !

 

Kinokuniya time.

Disappointed buy. agnès b. canvas tote bag. It actually comes with a red heart keychain which I forgot to take photo of.

Awesome buy. Super kawaii HbG bag. Many may find it kiddy. I don't care what others think, as long as I like it (:

Even the lil' HbG keychain is irresistibly kawaii max !! Agree ? :p

I got myself another Fred Perry tote bag ! Their tote bags are always well-made IMO.

Another disappointing buy. I don't like this YSL bag. Not really well-made IMO. Photos are deceiving !!

Taiwan Beauty magazine Oct'10 issue featuring Elva Hsiao.

Women's Weekly Nov'10 with free Nivea Sparkling White Whitening Day Care.

Bazaar Oct'10 with free $20 Häagen-Dazs voucher and a gold ice-cream spoon (not in photo).

Bought this from Vion, which I forgot all about it =.= HK New Monday magazine with free Adidas 2-way tote bag (purple).

Random hauls.

Bought 'em at Guardian. Now, these are the old packaging BRTC BB Creams.

I bought BRTC Protect Multiplex Balm SPF20 PA++ & Jasmine Water BB Cream SPF30.

Bought these Elianto pearl shine eyeshadows during a sale.

(TWO TO TANGO, ELECTRA-FIED, ULTRA VIOLET, CHARISMA, PARAKEET)

(PROTEGE, BONDAGE, 1492, COUGAR)

After MONTHS & MONTHS of WAITING & WAITING, I finally get my SMH eyeshadows. BUT NOT ALL. FRESH, according to her was OOS. I do understand that SMH customer service is really THAT bad. But then again, many had problems with the person who conducted the spree. Some of the common problems were: not able to get back refunds despite numerous reminders, unable to contact (be it thru' sms-es, emails, calls, PM-s !!). I can't help but wonder if I'll get any refund for my OOS e/s or will the e/s arrive safely in prolly months' time ?? Well, I'm THAT accommodating that I traveled all the way to the west to collect the e/s instead of opting for mail. It was my 1st time joining OnSugar spree and it wasn't a good one. I believe there're others who have worse experience(s) as compared to mine. Oh well ..

Bourjois Khol & Contour eye pencils (gray, ultra black, blue).

Fasio Chandelier Shine Eyes SV-5. Lotus Palace awesome review, swatches and EOTD !

I had to buy this coz I forgot to bring my powder out on that fateful day =.= Well, no regrets coz I simply love this new ZA Skin Beauty Two-Way Foundation SPF20 PA++ refill ! Shade 21 though it's tad fair for me but it looks more natural after oxidization. The powder is really fine and it helps to keep my makeup looking fresh and shine-free for hours.

Nivea Angel Star Body Soft Soufflé.

Really looks like yoghurt eh :3 And, I'm very in love with the raspberry scent !! Smells heavenly ..

Teal necklace & earrings set from Diva ! Thanks babe (:

Lastly, random Lotree samples I got from ALT Heeren.

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 ♥

(all super clear photos' credits to Kosé Singapore ♥)

on 21st August, i went for a beauty talkshow conducted by the very famous 牛爾老師 Niu Er in collaboration with Kosé Singapore. it was all thanks to Chantana's giveaway that i won, along with 4 other pretty ladies - Jones, Candy, Hazel and Christie. it was really a pleasant surprise for me since i entered only one comment :p guess i was really luck as Chantana mentioned that my number #6 (my favourite number btw) came out a couple of times ! anyway, i was really happy to meet Iris and Mag again, as well as Debx for the very 1st time (:

that day was definitely one of my happiest days in my life :3 *grins*

these were the goodies given by Niu Er :p

not only that :x heez~

 

:

:

:

 

OMG ! see my SUPER DUPER HAPPY face ? XD

so what did i do to deserve a kiss from Niu Er ?

well, he asked us to guess his age (based on his looks) and i answered "20" :p

hmm so what is his actual age then ?

forty-three 43 !!

can you believe that he is that old ? he definitely look much younger, yes ?

well, it was not due to good genes that he look so youthful now. he shared with us how terrible his skin condition was when he was young and how he managed to improve his skin condition eventually. he strongly believe "只有懶人，沒有醜人" (there are only lazy people, no ugly people). very true indeed ! in fact, he spends at least 1-2 hours day and night for his skincare regime !

here are some helpful tips he shared.

it is good to consume white fungus (白木耳) soup with wolfberries ( 枸杞子) in the morning. super good for skin !

he encouraged us to eat more berries (strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, etc) as they are rich in antioxidants. he also mentioned that it is better to eat dried berries (higher concentration of antioxidants) as compared to fresh ones (high water content).

he recommended us to take Japanese ginseng instead of Korean and American ones (too heaty). these are for improving our blood circulation :D

there are so many tips that he shared with us. for more information, you can refer to makeupstash and rougedeluxe detailed entries (:

now for more pictures !

everyone anxiously waiting for Niu Er..

finally ! he came in and shook hands with each and everyone of us :D

"interview" session with Clara and Chantana..

hahas i took a picture of my right hand he kissed :x

he invited ladies with skin problems to the stage for him to demonstrate how to improve their skin condition.

yea that's your truly, who was brave enough to volunteer for the mascara session :p

ooo he complimented on my eye makeup and that my real lashes are long hahas :3 super happy la

me super happy with the results :D he put mascara on my left eye only.. hmm..

see the difference :s

i'm using MAC very violet frost eyeshadow and Nature Republic Star eyeshadow no.4 (:

"class photo"

onsugar babes with Niu Er :p

Niu Er and yours truly (: (ps: he complimented that i'm pretty hehe~ happy to the max ! *blush*)
