This is my LOTD for the recent RoC event. Hmm... I think I used alot of products for this look (lol). The photo below, shows most but not all products used.

List of products used for this LOTD:

• Sleek Blush in Rose Gold >> recent fave
• Stila Eyeshadow in Kitten >> all-time-fave
• Stila Shimmer Eyeshadow in Mystic
• K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24h Waterproof (Dark Brown) >> HG
• K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyepencil
• Stage Eye Liner 02 Broadway Brown >> HG
• Skin79 All-Day Sun Powder SPF30 PA++
• Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Intense Eyeshadow in 7 Sweet Fire
• Maybelline Volum’ Express Magnum Ultra Comb Waterproof Mascara
• Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (Original)
• Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Perversion >> love this!
• Shu Uemura Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil
  
• Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer

 

Not pictured:

• Revlon Colorstay Foundation 200 Nude >> i find it a lil' too thick for my liking...
  
• Bourjois Intense Extrait Eyeshadow 03 Sand Rose >> glitter-bomb
• MAC Paints in Graphito

 

*Note: Products highlighted are provided by beauty companies.

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! (:

Chantana, Jones, Jessie and me met up on X'mas day for a girlie outing ♥ And so, the place was set at NEX (alight at Serangoon MRT station). I thought it would take me an hour to reach BUT in fact, the journey took less than 40mins ! It was damn crowded =.= And, I noticed there's F&B on EVERY level of the mall. The best thing was though we stayed there for around 8hrs, we only managed to comb 1/4 of the mall ! AND, we did spent quite a fair bit. Can't imagine how much will we spend if we comb the entire NEX x: Fun and fruitful trip ! Love spending time with my lovelies ♥

Freshness Burger (suggested by Chantana) was our 1st stop. I was damn hungry as this was my 1st meal of the day. Short of one drink coz Jessie not there yet.

From left to right: mine, Chantana's, Jones's.

I had "small" lemonade. Umm .. quite a normal but expensive drink. It's $3.80 or $4.20.

My Freshness Burger. The taste was alright, didn't really WOW me over. The bun was different from the usual ones. Kinda sweet. The size reminds me of MOS ones. Mark my words, the price kills.

Chantana's Salsa Burger.

Jones's Omelette Bacon Burger.

We ordered EXTRAS x: BUT the quantity was pathetic. No doubt the onion rings taste pretty good, but I won't order again for that price. Nearly $4 I think.

Nuggets, quite normal. I think nearly $6 I think. We spent more than $10 each, with still space for more food =.=

And, we went off to walk walk, shop shop shortly after Jessie reached. More about the hauling part later (:

Dinner was settled at Ramen Play. Now then I know, Din Tai Fung, Food Republic, Ramen Play, The Icing Room, Toast Box, Breadtalk are "connected". I only knew Toast Box and Breadtalk are "connected". No wonder, Toast Box and The Icing Room are located side by side at Tampines One. Interesting, at least to me hahas xD

Oh, I had the Tonkotsu Ramen. Filling and satisfying much (: It'll be even better if the egg's more runny. The soup base wasn't too salty, the noodles were cooked just right. The pork meat was on the fatty side, BUT I like :d~

Jessie and Chantana had the Spicky Tonkotsu Ramen. Just a dollar difference for the spicy kick (;

Jones had the Sanpou Tonkotsu Ramen. Super filling !

EXTRA order to be shared (again) :p RamenPlay Dango (minced chicken balls in takoyaki style). Quite normal to me, prolly b'coz I don't really fancy minced meat balls x:

Healthy hot green tea for us !

Oh my, I think my photo-taking skill is awesome x: Very BHB I know, but this photo of 'em really very nice right (at least in my eyes lol) ?? It seemed as though we were holiday-ing somewhere, not in Sg. I like I like (;

Hmm I think the photo of us at Chantana's post looks better ? I think my LOTD was weird T^T It's as though I didn't sleep for days !

Last stop was at Starbucks. Short of one drink (again). Jessie left early to spend time with her bf :D

From left to right: Jones's, Chantana's, mine. Notice something ? Jones always had the tallest drink, Chantana always middle, mine always shortest. LOL

The Caramel Macchiato I had, tasted pretty weird.

Now, on to my hauls !

DIVA

"Love" knuckle duster ring from Diva sales for $7. It was love at first sight hahas (X Pretty gold color and I love the font.

I also got myself this dark red diamante bracelet bangle for only $7 ! A steal, since the usual price was $24 :p

Side-track. I didn't get these at NEX. Since I was taking photos of my rings, why not include 'em in this lil' haul entry. Well, I got 'em at Orchard Cineleisure. I love the "dice" ring very much, quite unique IMO. It was the last piece left (;

I couldn't resist getting the "bunny" ring with tiny "bunny" attached. There was this dark gray color one, but I prefer this ivory white one.

 

Chanel Les Tentations de Chanel Holiday 2010 Collection (Limited Edition). I didn't get the entire collection (I wished). I already gotten the Pink Pulsion Levres Scintillantes/Glossimer (yet to be featured). Beautiful sheer fuschia color. It was sold out everywhere, I was lucky that there were still 2 left at Isetan (Parkway Parade). Many thanks to the friendly Chanel girl (MBS outlet) who helped me call, check and reserve (; Well, I did purchase something from her coz I like her service personality.

 

ISETAN

This Tweed Fuschia Blush was sold out everywhere. Since the Chanel counter is new in Isetan (NEX), I was lucky enough to get it ♥ $69, but I paid $65ish, using Jessie's Isetan card. I also got $5 cash voucher (with every $50 purchase).

See the shimmery gold bits ?! I love the tweed effect, the lovely fuschia color with hints of gold and the new brush is unlike the old one which feels harsh on my skin. Too pretty for me to start using, but I'll use it soon :p

 

WATSONS

Chantana, Jones and me got this Kate Gel Eyebrow LB-1 since it was on 20% discount. Usual price was $19. Loving Kate makeup !

Revlon Super Lustrous Creme lipsticks - 463 Sassy Mauve and 473 Mauvy Night. BOGO ! In fact, the promotion was already over and I wasn't aware since the promotion tag was still there :p $17.90 for both.

Canmake Cream Cheek 09, a pretty sweet baby pink with no shimmers at all. The PLUS point is it's limited edition ! $15.90 after $2 discount.

 

SASA

This was what I intended to buy, which meant the rest of the 'em are.. well due to temptations =.= Yeah, new big nail clipper hahas (X $1.65 only.

Sana Pore Putty Face Powder Clear. Chantana recommended this coz her sis said it's better than MAC Blot Powder and she's on her 3rd one for now ! $24.90 before 20% discount, far cheaper alternative. Better ? I can't say that for now.

Sana Natural Resource Loose Powder UV SPF19 PA++. Highly recommended by Chantana (again). Aiyo, she made me spent more than I intended hahas xD The powder puff was really soft and I like that it's abit shimmery. $39.90 before 20% discount.

 

GIFT

Odbo Collagen Hydra-Mask. Gift from Jessie ♥ Thanks girl !

 

ETUDE HOUSE

We were about to leave NEX but we went in since it was still opened. Bad move eh. I ended up with these. Buy 2 Get 1 FREE.

I set my eyes on this - DearDarlingNails BLINGBLING WH004. Shimmery black with hints of teal. I'm bad at describing colors =.= AND, I thought it's $7.90 but actually, it's $11.90 *faints*. I noticed it only after I reached home. Expensive !!

LUCIDarling Fantastic Nails 06. Shimmery pink with hints of blue.

LUCIDarling Fantastic Nails 05. Shimmery orange-red with hints of gold.

WH709. Looks like cement color x:

BR307. Looks like hot cocoa color :3

WH708. Very pale mud color ? s:

Last but not least, freebie(s) ! We got 2 of this Moistfull Sheet Masks coz I requested for one more x: Very aunty much LOL

That's the end of my somewhat lengthy X'mas Day post (; More to come !

Happy New Year (in advance) to my loved ones, followers, readers and YOU ♥

Watsons, my all-time favorite personal store (though the prices aren't exactly low). It is the perfect place for me to check out the latest beauty drugstore products. And, I always end up with a purchase though I didn't intend to spend money initially =.=

Anyway, I did spotted some new stuff at Watsons recently. Taking photos "sneakily" can be such a headache, seriously.

Did a quick swatch of the new glitter liquid eyeliners. The colors are gorgeous, yes ? The purple & black are more pigmented, while the silver has a more translucent finish. It takes a while to dry, as with normal liquid eyeliners do. Guess the brand (;

Oh Maybelline Hyper Diamond Eyeliners !! Waterproof & smudge-resistant, promising much eh. BUT $17.90 is kinda expensive yea =.=

L'oreal Perfect Clean Cleansers !! I'm using the one for blemish prone skin for now, still got about half left I think. So far so good, loving the useful Scrublet !

L'oreal Youth Code. Check out my reviews on this range here.

Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Cover Powder, comes in 01 Light Beige (Fair normal skin tones), 02 Natural Beige (Asian skin tones) & Clear Powder (All skin tones). I tested the powder and it feels so fine & smooth. I feel so tempted to buy coz it has long lasting oil control (!!), smooths out pores, uneven skin & freckles (!!) and.. it gives a natural finish !! Ahh I'm gonna resist for now.

Canmake Gradation Wink Eyeshadows. 4 shades to choose from. Too subtle for my liking. The color range is kinda boring IMO.

See the lack of pigmentation and chalkiness. Don't like :s

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara, comes in waterproof version as well. It aids in lash growth as well, cool eh. $17.90 is quite reasonable IMO. And I'll definitely get the waterproof one (IF I'm getting :x)

Just a short random blog post. If y'all are keen, I can do regular updates about newly launched beauty brands/products (;

this is a picture-intensive post (as usual). makeup hauling makes me a unusually happy girl (umm.. lady). my friends can never understand why i can haul on makeup/skincare while i can never understand their love for shoes/ clothes/ bags (i mean expensive branded ones). oh well, everyone has their own spending habits.

first up, my paul & joe haul from robinsons expo sale.

paul & joe light cream foundation SPF 15 PA++

• soft texture & instantly melts onto skin
• contains rich moisturizing properties

 

paul & joe protective dual powder foundation with SPF25 PA++

the coated powder lasts long without making your complexion look dull. giving you a light, smooth, soft focus, semi matte finish

contains superfine SPF powder, enabling outstanding sun protection with a thinner coating on the skin's surface for a luminous finish

 

i love the floral casing, so pretty !

revlon colorstay mineral foundation SPF10

this is a long-wearing, loose powder foundation that is good for the skin. it combines the patented colorstay technology and softflex for lightweight comfort, together with minerals such as rose quartz, mother of pearl and topaz, all of which are beneficial to skin. it applies evenly and blends for a soft, natural looking, seamless appearance and a smooth, flawless finish. it is non-irritating and fragrance and oil-free.

to apply, twist the cap to release the full sized brush. swirl brush into powder and tap off excess. blend powder evenly all over face, buffing in circular motions.

this gapbody lotion smells really heavenly :3 it's glass bottle not the usual plastic one. and so, this sums up my robinsons expo sale haul.

i've finally got this skin79 oriental gold bb cream ! HAPPY !

triple effect premium bb cream with whitening, wrinkle Improvement, UV interception SPF25 PA++. keeps skin more resilent and brilliant with natural ingredients such as gold, flower extracts, leaf extracts, persimmon extract, and caviar extract. improves skin into glossy and sleek status, more completely protecting from exposure to harmful UV rays.

infused with oriental tea blend ingredients including white tea, green tea and black tea keep skin brighter and firmer. two patent ingredients of the oriental tea newplex and natural complex extract keep skin healthy by protecting from outer harmful substances.

comes with creamy touch color for lip & cheek which i absolutely adore !

this is my lil' haul from nature republic (again).

blemish lab ac bb cream SPF20, a mild blemish-balm cream for sensitive and trouble skin.

black head break remover massage oil, a remover oil for smooth nose that minimises pores after remove blackhead in pores. cover a fair amount over nose, spread and massage for about 3 mins, then rinse with warm water, wash with foam cleanser.

color deco nail colors, aren't these colors gorgeous !? not to mention the prices are to-die-for LOL

i love getting free samples since i can try before buying the full-sized ones. but sometimes it can be really troublesome to ask for samples especially you meet really nasty or black-faced sales ladies.

i love essential hair products since they do wonders to tame my somewhat fizzy hair. i really love the fact that it smoothens my hair ends effortlessly (:

i bought the spring magazine to get the freebies. hmm i was kind of disappointed with the fabric quality of the freebies though :C

free skinc renew conenzyme Q10 at kinokuniya with female july magazine.

her world magazine hits 50 ! free slice of cake from bakerzin & a free sample from sephora to be redeemed.

cleo magazine, check out 2010 cleo beauty hall of fame !

this rilakkuma pouch is so kawaii ! i couldn't resist buying it and it was the LAST piece ! perfect for storing my makeup :p

i bought these at the infamous enamour store located at far east plaza level 4.

double eyelid stickers. i'm so lazy to use them, seriously.

the black eyeliner lash glue. this is really expensive, at $20plus :/

initially, i wanted to get lashes only. end up getting more than i should. i don't think i'll be going to that store again i guess.

another 2 boxes of fake lashes. buying online is so much cheaper !

majolica majorca eyelash curler given by my friend (: i don't see this selling in singapore though.

i hauled the face shop in malaysia. the prices there are much cheaper and i got these freebies with purchase of $40.

the cotton pads look really good to use yea. my friend got it free without buying anything hahas !

this lipgloss handphone charm is so cute and pretty !

i bought nail polishes (:  

this eyeshadow is very cheap !! only left this, a pretty shimmery pale green color.

very cheap !! i always stock up lens solutions in malaysia :p

btw i did my classic manicure & pedicure for only $58, which means about SGD26 :x i chose colors from the opi shrek collection.

i did a simple eye makeup for the short trip to JB.

here i'm using:

• urban decay midnight cowboy eyeshadow
• nature republic prism star sparkling eyeshadow SYL303 (gold)
• etude house eye glow pencil 5
• sana new born lasting w brow LB3

 

my final buy which is ben & jerry's ice cream ! my ultimate sinful indulgence :x i can finish one whole pint by myself ! so yummy who can resist right hahas !

june, the typical s'porean fav mth since it's the yearly gss affair.. everywhere sales.. actually then again there are sales every now & then.. be it small or big.. anyways, shopping is s'porean fav hobby hahas xD hmm this applies to me pretty much since i'm a typical s'porean lady heez~ & i'm proud to be one :3 well, i simply can't stop shopping.. i see i like i buy(provided my wallet ok :x) some buys take me a long time to tink.. some no need to tink.. are u the same as me ? and, most of the times, we buy things knowing dat we already have similar ones.. or things dat we dont need or live without.. we buy things we want, not need or should.. it's a different matter altogether (: but then again, if we truly feel happy abt our buys.. y not ?

umm.. it's gonna be a pretty long post.. pics-intensive for sure.. part of my buys for june alone.. can be scary to some.. but actually, i dint spend really alot.. not my one month's pay for sure.. it's the gss period remember ? and, dat doesnt mean i'll stop hauling after june :x
