Whenever I'm out, I make it a point to visit Watsons. A habit, I guess. Anyway, I was browsing as usual and discovered this "1-week special" promotion for Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara.

After doing the girly math, it's a good 35% discount! $16.80 for a relatively new (and limited edition) Majolica Majorca Mascara is a pretty good deal. Do act fast. The promotion is only until this coming wed, 28 Mar.

MJ fans, go-go-go!

As mentioned in my latest LOTD post, I was trying to haul "necessarily". Here I am, with a totally unnecessary haul. Do I need a new mascara? A big fat 'NO'. I bought this set of ZA Impact Lash Base and Mascara for only $18.50 (there's additional 7% discount till end March I think)... that's why :x

Having had very good experience with ZA Cutie Curl Volume Mascara, I'm glad to say that this is as good! *happy*

As for the tweezers, I bought it for $4.90 at a random shop. Not exactly cheap since this is not some well-known brand. Hope that it works for me >.< *fingers crossed*

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!

I've been reaching out to colored eyeliners recently. For this LOTD, no eyeshadow was used. Everything was kept simple, with just merely 1 coat of mascara. I'm not pleased with the foundation I used; made my face super fair (in a bad way). Hence, the lack of full-face photo.

The products I used for this LOTD:

• Silkygirl Funky Eyelights Pencil 10 Cool Blue
  
• Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771
• Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (Covet)
  
• KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1
  
• Melliesh Cheek Color 02 Baby Peach
  
• The Face Shop White Tree EX White Two Way Pact SPF30 PA++ NB23
  
• Shills Magic Foundation EGF 5 in 1 Foundation Mousse
• ZA Cutie Curl Volume Mascara

Just a simple chocolatey brown LOTD, using Canmake Four Shiny Eyes 03 palette.

 

Canmake Four Shiny Eyes 03

From left to right: Base Color (shimmery pale gold), Light Color (pearly light nude peach), Accent Color (sparkling golden brown), Liner Color (rich dark chocolate).

The pigmentation isn't fantastic, but decent overall in terms of the price you pay. A counter brand eyeshadow quad eg. Lancôme, easily cost about $80ish. It retails for 680YEN which comes up to be about $10ish. I got this at $16 after 20% discount at JL. Yes, that's how ridiculous Canmake products' prices are marked up in Sg. Twice as much :/ Anyway, I managed to get 2 more at Watsons BOGO promotion (during their 1-day member's sale).

If you don't like shimmery/glittery eyeshadows, forget about getting these. Do not pile on too much though; less is more. Unless you wanna look like a disco ball.

Products used:

• Canmake Four Shiny Eyes 03 palette
• KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1
• Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771
• Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eye Liner
• ZA Cutie Curl Volume Mascara
• Dolly Wink Volume Mascara
• Maybelline Angelfit Foundation Apricot Sand
• Eyeko 3-in-1 Cream
• Canmake Nudy Glow 06 Peach Milk
• Ettusais Cheek Color OR2
• Palgantong Taka-Hana Powder (highlight)
  

 

And, bear with just 3 more photos of my LOTD...... (;

FYI, photos of my LOTD were taken after I was out for 6 hours. I did blot twice with tissue paper, touch-up once.

The morning breakfast wasn't that good. I had KFC Blueberry Pancakes breakfast set (with scrambled eggs). I rather stick to McDonald's or just pay more for Cedele's.

The scrambled eggs were plain and over-cooked.

The coffee was just normal. Nuff' said.

That day, I was meeting Chantana in the noon for lunch and most importantly, to take a look at MAC Quite Cute Collection. We were both eye-ing on the Miss Behave Mineralized Blush. Only Robinsons (Rafflescity) stocked 'em at that point of time and apparently, OOS. I not sure if the rest stock 'em now but I'm not sure if I'm gonna get it afterall. I went to Sephora Ion to check out the MAC Candy Yum-Yum (matte neon pink) lipstick coz it look super YUMMY when I saw swatches online. I think it should be OOS by now...... Hmm.. wondering if I should get this :s

AND, I went to check out Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencils after checking out Joey's awesome haul post. I'm eye-ing Mercury, Delinquent and Clinic.. and perhaps Rehab.. I want all :s Very smooth and creamy; glides on like a dream. Uber pigmented even with just a single stroke.

The swatches turned out to be so pretty under bright sunlight. I took the photos just outside Orchard Ion.

Swatches of Sakura Mineralized Blush. Pretty lavender color. Quite sheer and powdery. Btw, it retails for $44 and it's limited edition.

Lunch was settled at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao Restaurant (Suntec City Mall). Prices there were fairly reasonable. Chantana had the spicy beef soup la mian.

I had the zha jiang la mian, which I find the sauce too watery for my liking. The noodles were just normal, think I'll order the soup ones next time.

That's all for now (:

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 ♥

LOTD(s) time; it's "Bare There" though. My looks for the 2-days Cozycot event. For both days, I used Dr Jart+ Most Moist Waterfuse BB Cream. And, I wore FreshLook Illuminate One-Day Color Contact Lens for a change.

A lil' camwhore session with my forever-sexy sis :3

Aiyooo.. why I not so sexy? *frowns*

 

Had an impromptu dinner date with Chantana and Jones last tues [3.1.11]. And, we settled @ Lai Lai Casual Dining @ Liang Seah Street (opp. Bugis Junction).

Candid shots by Chantana :3

I was cravin' for ru rou fan (Taiwanese Stewed Pork with Stewed Eggs on Rice), thanks to this current idol drama I'm watching -> "Calling for Love 呼叫大明星", featuring Mike He 贺军翔 and Charlene Choi 蔡卓妍.

Hmm.. I still crazy over "Secret Garden" though. I'd finished watching and it's seriously the best Korean drama I'd ever watched! Hyun Bin's acting skill is awesome! He's not just a pretty face :3 Watch it, and you'll get what I mean. You'll be so in love, like I do!

Watch this special episode of "Secret Garden", thanks to Jones's great find! The top 10 scenes, especially the no.1.. ♥

Satisfied meal! Love the fatty bits :d~ *slurps*

Chantana's beef & tendon kway teow.

Jones's beef & tendon noodles.

We ordered sets which came with bubble red milk tea, very disappointing taste :/

Other than the drinks, the food tasted great! The meals come with sides as well. We ordered different ones to try out. This is the squid dish, forgot the exact name :x

Braised pig's large intestines. Yummy!

Braised pork knuckles (boneless). Very fatty and sinful but taste oh-so-good! teehee~

 

 

The any-how camwhore session! We seriously took alot of funny photos hahas!

See how short I am, next to Jones T^T

Must think of more poses/expressions for future camwhore sessions! LOL

Ending this post with this photo of cute Lightning McQueen. Thanks for reading (:

Hmm.. I've been haulin' on blushers recently, namely drugstore AND counter brands. Yes, I do know that I've one face. BUT I'm pretty sure many of you are "guilty-as-charged", no? (x

Some time ago, everyone was tweeting about this particular blush which arouse my curiosity then. The "want" in me grew day by day, and I'd been thinkin' about it 24/7. Nah, I ain't kidding =.= And so, I decided to order it online since it's much cheaper @ US$28. Now, I do understand why ladies are literally goin' gaga over this latest blusher from Benefit.

BELLA BAMBA, anyone?

The color is mostly described as a 'beautiful watermelon pink' and a 'brightened medium pink with pale gold shimmer-sheen' (by Temptalia).

Here's a swatch of Bella Bamba. Aww.. See the pretty gold shimmers! It's pigmented enough for an intense look, and works just as fine for a softer blended look.

Super close-up photo which shows how beautiful Bella Bamba is on my cheeks AND erm.. my horrendous-looking PORES too! EEKS~

Argh.. I wished I've perfect skin.. I wished.. *dreaming away*

My eye makeup using MAC pigments..

My real lashes, FYI (;

Just one mascara is needed and of coz, do CURL lashes beforehand (using Koji No.73 lash curler). Hmm.. My bottom lashes are kinda pathetic though T^T
