Benefit Cha Cha Tint will be launched in S'pore end July. Retails at SGD$62. FYI, it's now available online for USD$29.

A beautiful mango-tinted stain for the lips and cheeks, for the perfect summer look. AND, I heard it's SMOOCH-proof and smudge-proof. Ooh la la~ Let's do the Cha Cha Dance! :p

I love Posietint and I'm sure it'll be the same for Cha Cha Tint. Will I get this eventually? Not sure for now. Can't wait to swatch it!

Meanwhile, check out Temptalia's review.

Celestina Tiew, KissJane's cover model. I'm her regular blog reader :D

Its online shopping. without the online.

I like.

Some fun facts you ought to know.

Here's the list of local brand names housed under KissJane. Popular ones such as Traceinny, RunawayDiva, Dressabelle, etc. One is spoilt for choices, seriously! But I ain't complaining (;

KissJane has 2 outlets: Bugis Junction and CityLink Mall.

And, I'm happy to announce......

Thanks KissJane for the lovely invitation! ♥

The event was held @ MOF Lenas (Bugis Junction). I went there after celebrating my bro's birthday.

Benefit! Ahh.. I want all.. :x

Makeup porn! :o

Celebrity Stylist Trey Wong, was there to share with us the current fashion trends.

He was super friendly and entertaining! And, he kept "complaining" that we ain't responsive enough. Oops hahas! xD

He loves bright colors and doesn't like to wear black. Wearing bright colors instantly livens up one's mood. I so agree with that.

Here's the rack of clothes he picked from KissJane. It's mostly about bright colors.

One of the key trends is Color Blocking. It's about wearing multiple bright colors at a time, which most Singaporeans tend to shy away from.

Don't worry. You won't look like a clown wearing more than 1 bright color at a time. In fact, you'll stand out from the black-and-white crowd!

Dare to be different!

Through this fashion talk, I learnt quite a fair bit from Trey. Now, I feel more at ease with colors like yellow and orange. I never like these colors in the last 26 years of my life! SERIOUS-LY.

The bloggers, who volunteered to be models-of-the-day. Showcasing the outfits they chose from the rack of clothes.

*Nom Nom* time. Not really that excited, coz I had buffet earlier on :s

I had a piece of garlic bread, which tasted so-so.

This drink was awesome! Super refreshing, I like! I don't know what izzit called though..

The food items tasted so-so overall. Or maybe I was too full to fully experience the taste?

The OnSugarettes checking out the rack of clothes. We ain't into makeup only.

It's about beauty as a whole.

This top is so pretty! But I couldn't find it at the boutique =.=

Obsessed with makeup?.. We had fun swatching the Benefit cosmetics! Here goes..

Soft golden-pink sheen, for a glowy complexion!

Sexy flush, anyone?

See their radiant complexion? All thanks to Benefit!

Dessert time. More food >.<

Hmm.. I didn't like the chocolate fondue.. The dark chocolate tasted weird..

Photo-taking time with Trey!

*smile*

*twist*

More fun-lovin' instant photos! Camwhorin' is our forte.

Here's the lovely goodies we received.

• Liese hair products
• Essential Nuance Airy shampoo/conditioner
• Benefit deluxe samples

 

Brow Arch service worth $22.

MOF card and vouchers.

And, not forgetting this gorgeous mustard yellow dress (last piece)! I paid only $13ish after utilizing the $20 voucher given.

Super happy can ♥

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 ♥

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

It was my 1st time buying Benefit online, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last. My very 1st Benefit product was Posietint, which I stupidly bought it from Robinsons (Rafflescity) counter sometime back. Super over-priced @ $65! It merely cost US$28 online, you do the math :/

Huge box of Benefit goodies!

I hauled just enough to qualify for free international shipping :D

There was a promotion then, whereby you buy any of the cheek products and this limited edition Bella Bamba Clutch (sequined makeup clutch) comes free! Worth US$20.

I also received the BADgal Lash Mascara (deluxe sized sample) and Stay Don't Stray (sachet sample) as well.

These Lust Dusters (shimmering loose powders for eyes) were only @ US$5! A steal!

jelly roll, nugget, gogo girl.

These are my MUST-BUYS! Sugarbomb and Bella Bamba. CLICK HERE for swatch & LOTD using Bella Bamba (:

peach, soft plum, shimmering pink, rose.

The color is simply too beautiful for me to pass! :3

This is a limited edition super value set - Beauty Be-bop US$45.

The box packaging is pretty eh.

US$74 value. Consists of High Beam (luminescent complexion enhancer), Some Kind-a Gorgeous Lite (the foundation faker) and Ultra Shines Lip Shine (back to the fuchsia).

High Beam.

Some Kind-a Gorgeous Lite.

Ultra Shines Lip Shine (back to the fuchsia).

That rounds up my lil' Benefit online haul ♥ Thanks for reading (:

My life is simple. Work aside, it is all about makeup, skincare, shopping, eating and singing. Well, no ♥ for now. *laughs*

Anyway, I had retail therapy online sometime ago.

Nice packaging eh :3

A sneak preview of 'em for now (X

Benefit haul. Buh-buys, pouch (foc), mini mascara (foc), blushers, makeup set.

Another big small box.

Sasa haul.

 

 

My gf whatsapp-ed me her iPhone wallpaper. So cute right? :D

This is my iPhone wallpaper. Hello Kitty hehe :p

 

 

Had a pretty late dinner with sis at The Asian Kitchen (Vivocity).

Seriously, their service sucks!! Not the worst, but BAD is enough.

We had the Longan Red Dates (cold). Pretty refreshing and it reminded me of Cheng Tng.

I was uber hungry, so I ordered Pork Chop Fried Rice though it was already way past 9pm. It tasted alright, nothing fantastic. The fried rice portion was huge!! Enough for 2 persons and I managed to finish all by myself =.= *CLAP CLAP*

Ah mei ordered this T.A.K Chilli Soft Shell Crab Noodles. The noodles were cooked just right, the sauce was good. The soft shell crab was a MEGA DISAPPOINTMENT. It had a serious fishy smell which obviously indicates that it's not fresh at all. The fried batter was too thick, not crispy at all. Order the noodles but not the soft shell crab one!

 

 

An impromptu chill-out session with Qi. We hopped from Beer Market to The Pump Room, where we joined her friend's friends. San Miguel, Lychee Martini and a liquor which I forgot the name, Ma____ (?).

I didn't bring my camera as the batt was dead. So here's my oh-so-trusty iPhone camera. Mai hiam buay pai (hokkien for "If you're not picky, it's not bad." LOL xD

*Muacks* :3

Nicer photos of us!

The top I wore was super unsuitable for nightlife places like this =.= Oh well, an enjoyable night nevertheless.

 

 

Kopitiam food is ♥

My favorite food at the nearby kopitiam. 招牌面线 (Signature Mee Sua). I like the chilli & vinegar kick! $3 for this is just so worth it :d~ If I can't think of anything to eat, I'll just settle with this. Easy peasy.

There are 2 prata stalls, Malay & Indian. The standard of the Indian one fell, so we went to the new Malay stall. Now, we went back to the Indian stall, coz the standard of the Malay one fell. =.=

Teh tarik was really good, just the right sweetness!

Had the usual kosong & plaster pratas :d~ They were soooooo delicious! Much much better than before! The right crispiness, not oily, just simply nice max! Yummy pratas without travelling all the way to Simpang Bedok or Jalan Kayu :D

Me love eggs! Especially runny yolk ones :d~

And the crazy me had fishhead curry twice in a week, or should I say twice in 3 days! Not the same place though. Not the same price and standard as well. Me and sis had this at Bedok Central for dinner. This particular stall was famous for curry stuff and quite a number of people eating.

This time, I had this with bro just at the kopitiam nearby for dinner. Tze char stall. Huge difference in taste. The tze char stall one is soooooo much tastier! The curry gravy was just right, not as thick and salty as the famous one. The veggies (ladyfinger, brinjal, tau pok, yam) and the fishhead itself were way fresher! And, there were tomatoes too! Next time, no need to go Bedok Central eat fishhead curry liao. Yeah! ^^v

McDonald ice-cream cone treat by Ah xin :D Mine is the lop-sided one =.=

 

 

Favorite guy of the moment ♥

Cute, charming, oh-so-hot!

I just can't get enough of him...... Teehee~ 

Drawn by yours truly. 

My favorite color, purple ♥

I bought KATE Diamond Cut Eyes PU-1, mainly for the beautiful royal purple color.

Top left: Pale gold/silver (glittery)

Top right: White (shimmery)

Bottom left: Lilac (shimmery)

Bottom right: Royal purple (shimmery)

Love the colors and the silky smooth texture ! The colors are very well-pigmented, as compared to that of Integrate (used in my previous LOTD). Hmm they are not THAT intense, since Japanese makeup tends to lean towards shimmery subtle colors' look. Now, I'm VERY tempted to get prolly 1 or 2 more of the KATE Diamond Cut Eyes palette(s) x:

Lilac (shimmery), Royal purple (shimmery), White (shimmery), Pale silver (glittery), Pale gold (glittery).

This palette is easy to work with, and the colors blend pretty well (: There ain't any major fall-outs for the glittery e/s colors. And, they definitely add a dazzling touch to my eye makeup look.
