Celebrated ah mei's 22nd birthday @ Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck (Paragon) - 26.06.2011. Our 1st time dining there and it was an awesome "ducky" experience!

Hot chinese tea to wash the oiliness down.

Highlight-of-the-day: none other than.. the Peking Duck!

Relish every bite!

Crispy juicy peking duck skin dipped in sugar.. *drools*

Succulent pieces of nicely cut peking duck meat.. :d~

Traditionally served with mandarin pancakes and green onions, drizzled with tangy hoisin sauce.

Ordered assorted dim sum, the usual ones like custard paus, fried prawn dumplings, har gau, siew mai, char siew baked pastries, etc.

More peking duck meat! Imagine only 3 of us finishing the whole peking duck plus the dim sums! We can really eat uh.. :x

Scallop rice rolls.

The remaining duck meat stir-fried with my all-time-favorite ee fu mian. The total bill was a whopping $130ish!

*act shy* :s

the-super-happy-birthday-gal :B

Funny camwhoring snippets.

Bought mini cakes from a cake shop at Mandarin Gallery.

The service sucks big time but the cakes were pretty tasty though.

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.

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.

Not a look I'll usually do.

For this look, I didn't use any eye primer. I applied SMH e/s (Protege) lightly on the eye area as the base color, then intensify the color more at the lid area. The burnish red effect at the outer crease area is created by layering SMH e/s (Bondage) on top. Blending is the key. The tinge of silverish color is SMH e/s (Electra-fied) just above the upper lash line. To define the eyes, I used Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner close to the upper lash line with a slight wing. For the bottom lashline, I used Sephora Jumbo Liner 12HR Wear Waterproof (15 Purple).

To add some oomph to my eye lashes, I curled 'em using Koji eyelash curler no.73 before applying Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara. I layered on Fasio Hyper-Stay Mascara Magne-Plus Curl Volume to define the lashes.

Eyebrows: Shu Uemura Hard 9 Brown 03 Eyebrow Pencil & KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1

Recently, Sephora launched an awesome collection. Sephora Jumbo Liner 12HR Wear Waterproof ($17 each), that is. A collection of jumbo eye pencils that can be used as eyeliners or blended out as eye shadows.

♥ AT 1ST SWATCH. SERIOUS-LY.

I wished I can have all.. >.<~

4 for now.. I bought 'em on two different days..

You gotta see 'em in real-life.. Swatch and fall in love instantly.. (:

15 PURPLE. The MUST-BUY, IMO. An extremely intense shade of purple! Me love purple :p

09 KAKI. This shade of kaki green is v.pretty too! MUST-BUY, MUST-BUY!

17 BLACK. Matte black is ♥ and so well-pigmented! I prefer this to 16 GLITTER (glittery black).

05 BEIGE. One of the few, which glides on effortlessly. Great for highlighting the inner tear duct.

All in all, they are simply AWESOME POSSUM! Be it lining the eyes, use as a base or e/s. AND, they're less than half the price of Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencils ($36 each)! They're just as kick-ass good, if not better. For the price you're paying, you're getting an awesome deal. I know, since I already own 2 UD ones (undeclared haul :x).

The packaging is simple and fuss-free. Personally, I like it this way since I don't have the habit of collecting those cardboard boxes. I always discard 'em.

Ok, here're the swatches.

WOW-ed yet?

The 5 above are the creamiest, most-pigmented lot. All are SMUDGE-PROOF. Tested and proven (by yours truly)!

No flash.

Are you getting any?

This is super dated, I know. It's better to be late than never, yes? Uh me and my excuses hahas!

Soap & Glory Clean On Me. I'd finished this already and planning to buy the full-sized one coz I seriously am in love with the scent! I smell super duper good after shower and the scent just lingers on & on ♥ Nuff' said.

L’Occitane Amande Delicious Soap.

 

Thanks Joey soooooo much for the wonderful giveaway! ♥xoxo

My favorite time of the day is night, when the moonlight shines. I super dislike the blazing sunlight, seriously. A big NO-NO to sun-tanning for me.

See how beautiful Singapore is at night...... (◕‿◕ ✿)

Just captured a few shots since my camera's battery was dying. Hmm.. do excuse the slightly blur photos (:

LOTD time ♥

It was a night of SUPER FULL makeup for me since I was gonna club with my friends. It had been quite awhile since I clubbed! AGE is definitely catching up on me. I no longer have the urge to club as frequently as before. Ahh.. I can't believe I'll be hitting my 30s in just a few years' time T^T

My OOTD. A flowy bling-bling top & MNG black fitted short skirt.

I camwhored ALOT coz I simply love this LOTD very much xD ♥

Well, me and my excuses :x AHEMS.

Dazzling shimmery eyes accompanied with pink flushed cheeks and nudey pink lips.

A close-up on my LOTD ♥

Sephora Perfection Primer, followed by Lancôme Teint Miracle Foundation PO-3. Coffret D'or Beauty Essence Pact to set the foundation. My cheeks -> Red Earth Cheeky Flirt (Foxy Lady) x Melliesh Cheek Color 02 Baby Peach. To highlight my face, I used MAC MSF (By Candlelight).

My eye makeup is achieved with Lunasol Nature Color Eyes in 01 Nature Blue, which I used in a LOTD last year. Prior using the eyeshadow palette, I used Benefit Stay Don't Stray to prime my eye area. On my entire eye area, I applied the shimmery light yellow color (Lunasol) and then the shimmery light mint color (Lunasol) on the lids. For upper and bottom lashline, I used the cool brown color (Lunasol) to define my eyes. As for the inner corners of my eyes, I used the shimmery light yellow color (Lunasol) again. Lioele Artist Auto Eyebrow #3 Grey Black for my brows. My trusty L'oreal SuperLiner (black) for my all-time favorite winged eye look ♥

And, I'm happy to announce I'd found another HG mascara combination (apart from my all-time favorite Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl x Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara combi). Do note that I've the habit to curl my lashes before using mascara, which I did in this case. I wasn't born with beautifully curled lashes (:

My lashes look UBER DOLLY-LIKE, yes-yes?? Super volumized, lengthened, black. NO-NO, I wasn't wearing fake lashes!

And so, my new HG mascara combination is:

ZA Cutie Curl Volume Mascara x Dolly Wink Volume Mascara!!

Lips -> Heavy Rotation Lip Concealer x Melliesh Lip Gloss 02 Baby Doll.

After which, my camera's battery died :,/

Using my lousy iPhone camera function which simply can't take decent night photos, here are the few okay photos. No clubbing photos, ya know why =.=

Me and my friends wanted to go Butterfactory BUT it was FULL HOUSE :/ So, we went to a random bar to drink something 1st. Actually I wasn't too keen on clubbing that night. I just wanna laze at home as usual, watching random movies online. My 2 pretty friends wanted me to join 'em and I had to give 'em face. I'm one who easily gives in :s

And, I gotta know 2 new guy friends that night. AND again, I was the oldest among 'em. Thanks really ar. The 86s and 87s =.= Glad that it was truly a fun night afterall.

Hmm.. these chicken wings not nice at all :s I enjoyed eating the sweet crunchy celery and carrot sticks though.

They ordered Erdinger, one of my favorite beers.

Oh ya, we were at OverEasy. The guys had a friend working there, hence we had discount on our orders :p

My Strawberry Margarita which tasted not so bad BUT I still prefer Cafe Iguana's!

And so, after OverEasy, we headed to Shanghai Dolly. That was my 1st time. Had Martell on the rock, more beer, red bull vodka. Didn't drink-drank-drunk, thankfully. BUT KJ said I did doze off for 10mins...... which I had no idea at all. At least, I remembered mostly what happened. My friends were gone by then :x Uber happening night, I must say. I think I won't be clubbing for quite sometime? Till then ♥

And, the focus of this LOTD is my pimp-ed lashes of coz (as shown in the super close-up photo).

Notice the red bits? Well, the red was not super obvious kind coz I layered red mascara over Dolly Wink Volume Mascara.

I'm pretty sure that the red will be super obvious over Majolica Majorca Lash Bone White Fiber.

You must be wondering what red mascara I'm talking about, yes? I didn't get it when it was launched last year. I only got it this year and I just knew I had to get my hands on it. Btw it's limited edition, maybe that explains why?

Ta Dah!~ Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo Red Mascara RD600 (Limited Edition).

 

A lil' review for now:

Red is definitely a unique color and not as widely-used as black or brown of coz. It is not easy to find a red mascara IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong. I was bent on getting this MJ mascara and the only place which still had stock was NAC Watsons. I bought it at full price, no discount whatsoever coz it's limited edition. There was about 2 or 3 left (can't remember) after I got mine. I love how the red makes my eyes 'POP'; more 'awake' somehow. My lashes do look kinda spidery due to the mascara fibers. BUT that doesn't really bother me much, since no one will stand THAT close enough to see that. The mascara fibers did add some length to my lashes and I ain't complaining :p Easy to remove as well, with cleansing oil of coz! I'll layer this on top of MJ Lash Bone White Fiber next time to see the RED effect. ♥x♥

Ignore my oily face; no thanks to the time-of-the-month. 

Photos speak a thousand words. Pretty self-explanatory? Till then.

Any questions, feel free to comment. I won't bite.

I look nothing like Tsubasa Masuwaka, seriously. It will be fabulous if I do. *dreaming*

I didn't use this coz I don't own it. After much deliberation, I decided not to get it. Maybe I'll change my mind if I spot a good buy? :p

For face, I used Dr Jart+ Most Moist Waterfuse BB Cream, with Sephora Perfection Primer as the highlighting makeup base. I love how the primer evens out my complexion, imparting a beautiful radiant shine on my face. It is also much easier to apply makeup and my makeup just last for practically the whole day. Yes, that's me after a long day (since morning). Notice I seldom didn't use concealer for quite awhile?

On my cheeks, is a lovely mix of Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek PK301 Peach Macaroon & PK303 Strawberry Macaroon. Yes, I caved in. Initially, I didn't wanna get 'em coz I think the colors are BLAH. After reading random blogs featuring these lovelies, I couldn't help but go "take a look" again. Well, I decided to get 'em after the MJ counter lady brushed the cheek color(s) on me. Thought of just getting just one at first. Hmm.. I couldn't decide so I got both :p AND then, I wanted to get OR302 Apricot Macaroon to complete the collection.. BUT it was OOS so I went on a quest looking for it. SO, did I manage to get it in the end? I'll let ya know in my Majolica Majorca Chapter 30: Sugary Trap collective haul entry :x

Umm.. pardon my messy brows. I used Lioele Artist Auto Eyebrow #3 Grey Black to fill my brows. I first applied Benefit Stay Don't Stray (the sample I got from my Benefit Haul), then Majolica Majorca Majolook EyeShadow Palette RS354 (light pink). I like the Benefit Stay Don't Stray coz my eye makeup stayed vibrant and there wasn't any creasing at all. So far so good.

On my lids, I applied L'oreal Chrome Intensity Aquadisiac (teal color). For bottom lashline, I used the purplish pink color from Majolica Majorca Majolook EyeShadow Palette RS354. Majolica Majorca Majolook EyeShadow Palette RS354 (medium pink) for the inner corners.

Dolly Wink Volume Mascara to pimp the lashes :p I used liquid eyeliner this time, L'oreal SuperLiner (black).

Oh yes, the lips! Melliesh Lip Gloss 02 Baby Doll ♥

THE END. Thanks for reading! ♥xoxo

Finally ! Bright colors on my eyes :3 This was my LOTD when I went to watch "Easy A" movie preview @ Orchard Cineleisure, with Chantana & Jessie (plus her bf, her friend Lynn & Lynn's bf) just now. The movie was hilarious btw albeit the abrupt 5 min interruption in-between. Enjoyed nevertheless.

Rest of the eye makeup includes:

• Sephora pink shimmer powder
• Urban Decay eyeliner (Zero)
• Too Faced Shadow Insurance eye primer
• Majolica Majorca Lash Bone Fiber

As usual, nothing on my lips :x

Oh, Gransenbon 02 Candy Pink for my cheeks.

Ending this post with another camwhore photo :p

How do you find this LOTD ? Yay or Nay ?

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 ♥
