I love how Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Perversion gives my lips a pretty berry tone. A little goes a long way. Oh, I'm lovin' the mint flavor too ♥

I wanted my eye makeup to last longer than usual, hence using Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (Original). I applied it on my lids and on my lower lashline.

I applied Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Intense Eyeshadow in 7 Sweet Fire all over the lids, and Stila Shimmer Eyeshadow in Mystic over it (⅔ of lids). To highlight the brow bones, I used my all-time-fave Stila Eyeshadow in Kitten. I dusted a lil' Bourjois Intense Extrait Eyeshadow 03 Sand Rose to make the eyes 'pop'.

To avoid having 'sore-looking' eyes, I applied a thick 'liner' of MAC Paints in Graphito. Next, I drew a super thin line using my HG K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24h Waterproof (Dark Brown), on the upper lashline (as close as possible!). The line must be extended at the end, to make the eyes look wider. For the lower lashline, I used my HG Stage Eye Liner 02 Broadway Brown (a super underrated eyeliner).

Lastly, I curled my lashes and applied 2 coats of Maybelline Volum’ Express Magnum Ultra Comb Waterproof Mascara.

I think the Revlon Colorstay Foundation 200 Nude is a lil' thick... I don't really like the idea of having a full-coverage face. That being said, I agree that it looks good in photographs... kinda too much in real life :S

And, credits to Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer, for creating the illusion of smooth-looking skin! Heh. Lovin' the beautiful glow Sleek Blush in Rose Gold imparted on my cheeks ♥

That's all. Happy Labor Day! (:

I haven't been doing much to my hair this year, as compared to last year. The last time I had my hair professionally colored was like 10 months ago... last year June!

2 days ago, I went for a last minute hair workshop at the new Goldwell (Kao) office. I was late... b'coz I mistook UE Square for United Square... Zzzzzz... blur me! The former is at Clemenceau Ave, whereas the latter is at Novena area.

The theme was "sweet" hair colors. What came to my mind immediately was... Japanese kawaii girls' soft and sweet kind of hair color... those we mostly see in Vivi, Popteens... I was more than happy when they actually mean "sweet" hair colors, which are inspired by confectionery... think macaroons in candy colors ♥

Getting the mid-section of my hair bleached...

Pinkify-ing my hair... ♥

The session took about 5 ½ hours. I wanted pink and purple, something like Xiaxue's... but not the whole head of coz (I can't carry off the look...)! Due to time constraint, the hair stylist can only do warm tones on my hair. Hence, no candy hues for me >.<" unless my hair color is as light as Jone's...

Regardless, he did a fantastic job! Thanks Zac! :D

I tweeted the above pics, which didn't tell much about my new awesome chio (pretty) hair. heh.

Thanks ah mei for helping me take pics :D

My hair crown is supposed to be the darkest (dark ruby red), gradually lighter at the hair ends. The pinks are "hidden" beneath the darker hair strands.

I love the neon pinks! :P

My new chio hair color ♥

Pink, you don't fade so fast okie? >.<"

My LOTD, using:-

• Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Eyes Mascara
• K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24h Waterproof (Dark Brown)
• Murad Skin Perfecting Primer (Blemish and Shine Control)
• Shu Uemura White Recovery Ex Whitening Powder Foundation 575
  
• K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow Liner 24H (Natural Brown)
  
• Stage Eye Liner 02 Broadway Brown
• KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1
• MAC Sheertone Blush (Instant Chic)
• Pop Beauty Cheeky Cake (Beach Beauty)
• Mavala Lip Gloss 28 Bubble Gum

My CNY look was rather similar to the earlier LOTD I posted. A cooler version. I won't label it as "sweet" though. Most importantly, I only spent ~20mins on this look!

I didn't like Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream + YSL Matt Pressed Powder No.1, which makes my complexion look kinda cakey. I much prefer Skin79 with Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Sand Medium 0-1. Apart from that, I love the rest of the products I used for this look! Will be reviewing some of 'em real soon. Stay tuned (:

Do you know that Kanebo Freshel's Top Seller is BB Cream? Prior to the Bloggers' Event I attended, I already bought Kanebo Freshel White C W Cream UV from Watsons. Heard so much about it and I love trying BB Creams! Hence, the purchase. True enough, it didn't disappoint me.

To sum it up: This perfect BB cream work as an essence, emulsion, cream, sunscreen, and light makeup base.

Formulated with adhesive collagen for moisturizing effect and a fruit acid mixture for exfoliating and moisturizing care. This non-greasy moisturizing cream provides UV protection (SPF32-PA++) and covers dark spots. Effortlessly smooths into the skin for a quick finish, making it possible to complete morning care quickly with just this cream.

Here's a comparison between the Kanebo Freshel BB Creams. It's somewhat odd that the Moist Lift W Cream has a slightly lighter shade. I've yet to try this BB Cream which was provided by Kanebo Freshel (goodie bag), coz I'm pretty much obsessed with the White C W Cream UV one. This is the best-est BB Cream I've tried used so far. I've tried/used so many BB Creams under the influence of Kimoko's blog.

Not much of a difference when blended out.

My naked face, when my skin was still "behaving well".

See the side without BB Cream? Eeks.

Fully covered! ^.^

The texture of this Freshel White C W Cream UV is smooth and light-weight. Feels so comfortable on my skin! It offers adequate excellent coverage for my imperfections (spots, scars, dark circles, pores, etc). With that, I skip the use of concealer. The BB Cream evens out my skintone perfectly and my face is clearly more radiant (evident in the following photos below). I just need to lightly brush on some loose powder to set the makeup. There is no need to apply sunblock since it provides UV protection (SPF32-PA++). Saves time and fuss-free!

This BB Cream has slight yellow tones and IMO, it's more suitable for fair-medium skin tones (NC20/25). I find that I didn't blot as much when using this BB Cream. Overall, it gives me a dewy glowy finish which I loveee so much!

Okay, my following LOTD is similar to a LOTD I did previously (using different products though).

Face:

Kanebo Freshel White C W Cream UV

Chacott Finishing Powder 753

 

Eyes:

BoBo summer gradually compact (a random e/s palette I got from Ta Zhiang. $8ish I think. The darker shades are really pretty IMO.)

Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara

Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771

KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1

Stage Kohl Pencil 01 Karma Khol

 

Hey, I didn't use any highlight/blusher!

Highly recommended! Retails for $33/50g at Watsons. Convinced yet?

I'm back with a dated LOTD post! I wore this look for the FORD Supermodel Singapore 2011 Finals. That night, I was wearing this black layered tube dress. Super pretty right?! (esp. the model >.<)

Here's my look. No fake lashes coz I was in a rush. My real lashes ain't THAT bad anyway (lol).

I totally love the radiant look, thanks to Kanebo Freshel White C BB Cream! Will be doing a proper review soon (draft "sitting" in the folder :x). I purchased this earlier this year at Watsons for only $23 I think. An awesome buy indeed. It's in my top must-have BB Creams list!

Have I told y'all that I'm pretty much in love with Illamasqua Blush (Kiss)? It gives me the "after-2.4km-run" slightly flushed cheeks ♥ One needs to be light-handed when applying the blush as it's pretty pigmented. It looks so much better on the face than on the pan! Illamasqua blushers never seem to fail me and I'm definitely lemmin' for moreee!

Yay or Nay?

As the title suggest, it's gonna be a random post. Super. Random.

Today, I woke up feeling really moody. Prolly the time-of-the-month symptoms are showing? Hmm..

I'm not good at pretending to be happy. My emotions are shown on my face. I'm pretty straight-forward. A little bit over though. If I don't like you, my face will show everything. Vice versa.

I'm having a bad skin day. Pores. Fine lines. Pimple. Blackheads. Whiteheads. Milia seeds. Pigmentation. Oiliness. Dehydration. ETC.

Whatever you can think of. Really.

See my dry lips.

See the annoying pimple?! I accidentally 'burst' it. It's damn painful :/

AND, see the fine lines on my forehead...... *speechless*

Age is catching up......

My super moody face.

I seldom take up-close photo of my right eye.

Hooded eye that is.

Bad skin day sucks totally!

What's on my face:

• Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation No.51 Light Vanilla
• Tony & Tina Herbal Environmental Protector Pressed Powder (Translucent)
• MAC MSF By Candlelight
• Lunasol Nature Color Eyes 04 Nature Beige
  
• Stage Kohl Pencil 01 Karma Khol
• Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771
  
• KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1
• Korea Love Star Professional Make-Up Mascara

 

On a happier note, I'll be changing my hair color tmr! Technically speaking is today since now is past midnight. Will be having vibrant red head most probably ♥ At least something worth being happy ^^ Jones, Chantana and Chantana's sis will be coloring their hair too! Okay done with my moody post. Ciaos~

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

:D
