After the Maybelline event, the 4 of us (Jones, Chantana, me & my sis) went shopping. Met a couple of OnSugarettes. Shopping @ Orchard is love! Well, didn't buy much stuff. Canmake's new duo blusher, new panties (lol), a pair of flats.. That's all I think.

 

Dinner time! We finally decided on Bao Today (Marina Square). Was thinking of having steamboat buffet initially >.<

We ordered not many items to share coz not very hungry? Fried prawn dumplings. Average taste.

Beancurd skin rolls. So-so.

My favorite 流沙包s (salted egg yolk custard buns)!

Love these so much! Taste sooo good :d~

Har gau! These steamed prawn dumplings taste much better than the fried ones IMO.

These siew mai may look blah but actually taste pretty good!

Hmm.. I forgot the name (AGAIN I know).. It's Bamboo Glutinous Rice (Thanks Chantana for remembering :p) Ordered 2 to share.. YUMMIER than expected!! Think I was the only one not very keen on ordering this :x

Very tender chicken meat.. Love the super fragrant bits of the glutinous rice! A must-order apart from the custard buns.. Actually, most of the dim sums there are pretty good. Should try others next time. FYI, I prefer this outlet much much more than the 313 one. Satisfying dinner overall :D

 

We didn't stop eating after dinner.. coz I suggested Geláre for waffle ice cream! It's been ages since I had 'em. Used to go there every Tues without fail.

Me like the lamp hahas!

Jones & Chantana's. Hmm I don't know what flavors they order.

Me & sis shared Caramel Fudge Brownie/Pralines 'N Cream waffle with hot fudge and fresh cream.

Expensive indulgence :d~ YUM YUM!

Engrossed in "dissecting" the waffle ice cream (x

:p

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 (:

 

 

This was a giveaway (Tony Moly & Missha) won from Marilyn (MariAsh).

 

 

Assorted Elishacoy samples I got from a giveaway.

 

 

Rimmel makeup from NAC Watsons. I bought the Lash Accelerator Mascara (mascara+lash treatment) and Exaggerate Auto Waterproof Eye Definer (Perfect Plum). The duo eyeliner and lipstick are freebies ♥

 

I like Rilakkuma, and this umbrella is so cuteee! Couldn't resist picking this up (; Purpur, my favorite color!

 

 

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.

 

 

My lil' humble haul from the MAC Mickey Contractor Collection. I got the Fluidline Eye-Liner Gels!

Siahi & Ivy.

Oops I'm so biased eh. MAC is MAD-LOVE ♥ teehee :p

 

 

Random buys from Sasa. BeautyTalk Whitening Sheet Mask and Dr. Young 2p Blemish Base SPF35 PA++.

 

 

Ichikami hair treatment essence. plus free hair mask, shampoo & conditioner samples.

PLUS free travel kit (hair mask, shampoo, conditioner and Kracie sheet mask). Just merely bought only 1 item, so many freebies ^^

 

 

Clarins White Plus HP samples. Whitening Repairing Night Cream and Intensive Whitening Smoothing Serum.

 

 

This is super cute can! Mini Bio-essence 24K Bio-Gold Face+Neck Age Reverse Clear Cream.

 

 

Kiehl's skincare sachet samples.

 

 

Palmer's samples.

 

 

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 ♥

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 !

This is my very 1st LOTD of 2011. For this LOTD, I used Integrate Winter 2010 Rainbow Grade Eyes Limited Edition for the 1st time. Frankly speaking, I wasn't THAT impressed with this eye palette (seriously). I got this thanks to Christie (:

I really love how this photo turns out. Random, hahas (X

Pardon my super messy fringe :p I'm lovin' my EOS Pink Flower Series lenses to bits !

The colors are real sheer, and it takes several layers of application to really see the colors =.=

That's my real lashes, coated with the new Rimmel Great Curl Volume Mascara. Not waterproof btw. Love at 1st try !

I also tried the new super duper fine Rimmel liquid eyeliner (OOS at NAC Watsons). It is TOO fine for my liking coz I love to draw thickly for my monolids. And so, I bought the 2nd last piece of the mascara :p Yes, the volumizing effect is amazing ! I believe the curl effect will be much better if it's waterproof version. Not much clumping though I applied several layers to get my desired lashes. Separates my lashes nicely. The black is very intense, I like !

I did try it on Jessie's lashes and her eyes appear bigger (; She didn't get the mascara, not a impulse buyer like me hahas xD

MAC Viva Glam Cyndi on my lips. The color is redder actually. Perfect for a subtle red lips look ! Very wearable, at least to me :p

Integrate Winter 2010 Rainbow Grade Eyes Limited Edition.

Get what I mean by really sheer colors ? Those who love eyeshadow colors to be intense/pigmented, should steer clear of this. For the swatches, I layer at least 2-3 times. There's not much contrast among the lighter colors, except for the "darkest" bronzey brown color. I like the rainbow powder which is more shimmery than the rest but it'll be MUCH better if the color is more pigmented. Not very pink eh.

Hmm overall, it's still pretty good for makeup beginners and those who prefer a much simple and pleasant look. You won't go wrong using this (;

Pink swirl blush from Muji.

I prefer this to the "Shu Uemura" lookalike one coz the color payoff is sooo much better ! The other one works more like a highlighter IMO. Very pretty pink, isn't it ? Adds a flush of pink on my chubby cheeks :D See the fine shimmers ? What's not to like ? :p

I didn't camwhore much, unlike the usual me x:

What I used for this LOTD:

• Skin79 Absolute Total BB Cream SPF37 PA+++
• Lioele Real Crystal Powder Pact no.2
  
• Maybelline Perfect Concealer 01
  
• Sana Naginata Eyebrow 03 Honey
  
• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
  
• Integrate Winter 2010 Rainbow Grade Eyes Limited Edition
  
• Etude House Eye Glow Pencil 2
  
• Anna Sui Eyeliner Pencil WP 900
• Rimmel liquid eyeliner
  
• Muji Pink Swirl Blush
• MAC Viva Glam Cyndi

 

That's all. Thanks for reading (:

My first ASOS (mini) haul sometime back, all makeup-related stuff. My gf was the one who handled this order since her colleagues wanted to buy stuff as well. Shipping works out to be only S$1 per item, I think.

Barry M Blushers x 4. £4.50 each I think. Apricot (orangey) & Terracotta (brownish).

Rose (warm pink) & Pink Orchid (cool pink). There are 2 other colors I didn't get - Strawberry & Raspberry, both reddish colors.

Description (website):

These extra fine blushers are available in six sheer colours for easy blending and a perfect, flawless finish. They contain the anti-oxidant Vitamin E to protect and condition the skin and keep it smooth and supple.

This Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder 001 Transparent was selling for only £4, which works out to be only S$10ish and it's unavailable in S'pore I think.

Description (on back of product):

Up to 5 hours natural shine control with natural minerals. Helps minimize the appearance of pores. Dermatologically tested.

Illamasqua Eye Liner Cake (Zeal). Matte moss green.

Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow (Matter). Grey.

Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balm. Long-lasting relief for dry, chapped lips.
