Daily Dressup Shots

During a hot summer, doesn't a drink like this COOLS you down? (^_^) I totally dig this Aqua blue, it makes me think of clear sea water~~ *whisssshhhh* (mimicking waves sound) As for what this drink is for.. later you'll find out.

On January, I received a snail mail invitation from Neutrogena. First ever Snail Mail Invite! So sincere of them! ^^ ♥

Na & Me at Pierside (the restaurant name) @ Fullerton! And now you see what's the Aqua blue drink is for! ^^
While waiting for the event to start, we are Selca-ing (korean word for Camwhoring). Lolx @ Na's expressions! HUR HUR HUR HUR..

Everything in here are nicely decorated. ^_^ The long table made it felt like we gonna heave a feast!!

Some captures of the commercial of Neutrogena Hydro Boost and few speakers who came up to talk about Neutrogena products and also about the human skin.

MORE MYTH/FACTS & BEAUTY TIPS
1. By using cold water to wash face will close my pores and have a smoother skin (NOT TRUE. In fact using warm water to wash your face is better than using room temperature water or cold water)
2. Skin regenerates the most at night between 10pm to 2am (TRUE. But It is said that the skin regeneration period is actually longer than that.)
3. Using toner will remove water from the Stratum Corneum [Skin most outer layer]. (TRUE. However, there's some toner that doesn't have alcohol in it, so it will not strip off the moisture from the skin. Personal view, I will still continue to use toner even though it contains alchohol as toner helps to remove dirt and excess cleanser left on face that didn't get washed off. It also prepares my skin for the next step of my skincare regimen)

I don't often talk about food in my blogs, unless they are really GOOD. And as for these 2, YES, I must say that they tasted heavenly!
Its a Beef Tenderloin & Chocolate Tart with Butterscotch Ice-cream. After having these 2, I had been thinking of eating steak & chocolate cake for the rest of the week! lolx~

Yummy yum! The Chocolate Tart is crispy on the outside, and melting chocolate on the inside! ♥♥♥ Must go back PIERSIDE to eat these 2 again someday! ^^

Even Neutrogena Hydro Boost night concentrate got into the Menu, as it's been served to us on a plate. hhahax~ ^.^

This is a lucky draw card! ^^ And guess what, I won a prize from it! Scroll down to bottom to see the prizes I got~

And here are the goodies! Those wrapped up with ribbons are my winnings! And the Hydro Boost eye roll-on (placed beside the night concentrate) is also another winning from a teamwork game!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost night concentrate Product Packaging & Swatches
- Inside the packaging is the night concentrate tub, and no spatula was provided. I need to use my own spatula to get the content out from the tub.
- The tub has an additional lid (besides the main cover) so that the content will always be fresh
- The night concentrate (also a sleeping mask) smells really great, a nice fragrance drifts out when you open the lid.
- The night concentrate felt like a thick gel but it's the light weight kind of gel, totally non-greasy, little sticky after blending out.
- It felt pretty cooling when applied on my skin.
- It felt wet and hydrating (base on swatch only)
- It is suppose to be a night mask/sleeping pack, hence it is unable to be fully absorbed by the skin.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost night concentrate sleeping pack Review:
- I use night concentrate almost every night as the last step of my skincare regimen, after my moisturiser.
- At times when I'm too tired or felt lazy, I will use the night concentrate alone, right after toner.
- After spreading out and massaging the night concentrate to my skin for a minute, it sticks to my face firmly, doesn't make me feel that its too much for my skin or feel that its too heavy
- Though it's non-greasy but after putting on the night concentrate sleeping mask, my face looks as if it is very oily, due to the content not being able to fully absorb to skin and it reflects under the light
- When I sleep, I try not to place my face on top of my pillow or other wise the mask will be removed by it. But usually when I sleep, I would forget about it and end up sleeping in every kind of positions, even face down onto my pillow. (^o^ lolx~)
- Good thing though, is that the night concentrate doesn't felt like its a thick sleeping mask. It felt a little thicker than normal moisturiser therefore it wasn't easily removed away by any of my pillow or bolster unlike my other sleeping masks.
- After I woke up and washed my face (I usually use warm water to wash), my skin felt BABY SMOOTH like it never felt before! I am not exaggerating it, it is real, base on my experience.
- My skin felt really smooth, it felt almost like powdery smooth when I touch it. Skin also felt pumped up.
- I spot that my laugh lines were minimised, not as deep as last time and when I put on makeup, the foundation doesn't get trap inbetween my laugh lines as much as previous. Even though it still traps foundation but it is almost not visible now.
- It overall makes my skintone slightly lighter & brighter too!
- I find that it helps combat free redicals in a way too as my makeup didn't get oxidised and turn dull, therefore the makeup now on my face  looks bright & neat.
- I like using the night concentrate as it gives me confidence that I'll have a beautiful smooth skin on the next day when I woke up
- I would want to use this night concentrate again if I run out of it! ^^ Its super easy and convenient to use!

Available at all leading personal stores and pharmacies.
Price: SD$25.90.

My HOTD & OOTD @ Event day:

I been wanting to do a MEME... and here is Mimi's first Meme! XD~

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Product names written and coloured in turquoise were given by its company to me for trial.

Yesterday CNY Day 2, I'd posted my OOTD on Instagram (as shown below). I used several Iphone apps to achieve the following effects. If you wish to download the apps, they are:
Camera360 - Super good camera app! I totally loving it! I had been taking alot of photos using this app, it will not save direct to your photo library yet, but only after you process them, you be able to save them to your phone, otherwise no matter how many photos you take, they will all be stored under the app, categorised by dates. The photos your stored in the app, can be re-edited for countless times without spoiling the original photos. So far, this is the only app I've came across that has the most effects to choose from, i love using it! ^^
iQuikDoF - Best Dof app for blurring out the background so focus is on the subject only. Its easy to use, just paint over the subject and then process it. Painted area remains sharp while others all will be blurred. Blur effect can be from 1 to 100%.
Pixlromatic - Another app that gives many different effects and borders. I usually use Camera360 first to process once, do a iQuikDoF and then use Pixlr to add in more effects for the final touch. ^^

Military OOTD
Navy blue double breasted coat+chiffon cape - Bought from Hong Kong last year, but this is my first time wearing it! ^_^
Beige-Black patterned mini skirt - Bought from Hong Kong. Totally love this skirt x 100000 times! ^^
Grey Houndstooth patterned tights - Taiwan. I also have an exact pair in browns.
Heels - Mondo
Bag - Clares & Keith
White Furry accessory (hang on my bag)- Hong Kong. It was actually double the length of the current, cos my cat Mimi bite it into pieces, this is what is left now =_=
For below pic I didn't use iQuikDoF becos Camera360 app also has blur effect (Tilt-shift in vertical lens).
Original pic taken with Camera360

I use all 3 mentioned apps to PS the below pic.

On CNY Day 2, I played with my other Nymph Aura product, which is the Nymph Aura Loose Powder! ^^ Read HERE for review on Nymph Aura Volumer

ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Loose Powder Ingredients & Swatches:
Saw from the ingredient list that this loose powder is NOT Talc-free.

I picked the #1 Natural Pearl Aura as I have medium dull skin tone, and the other shade is in pink pearl which i think my face would look ashy with that shade. Though from the swatch below,the powder looks almost white, but it is actually beige.

Review of ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Loose Powder:
It has this cooling effect when I first powdered it on my face, the powder is very fine and makes my face looks glittery. The glitters however aren't big enough to be noticed at a distance, its only noticeable under certain lightings (like spot light), at some angles or if I look at my face really upclose infront of mirror.
The shade looks kinda whitish on my face when I applied my first puff of powder, but after smoothing it out, it doesn't make my face look ashy unlike other loose powders. It appears translucent but with slight white glow in it.
I worn this out for about 6 hours and so far I didn't experience anything drastic or whatever..lolx.. The wind nowadays had been super strong. Whenever I step out of the building, the wind blew against me was so strong that my hair flew upwards. (Imagine that! LOLX!)
So perhaps, today when I stepped out, my powder already GONE WITH THE WIND. kekekekx~
Overall, I like this loose powder because of the slight cooling effect it gives plus the main point is that it doesn't make my face looks super white. ^.^

The other product I hauled from Korea (See HERE for all the stuffs I bought) is this...
ETUDE HOUSE VIP Girl Dear Darling Lips in PK008 7500won: ~ SGD$8.80
Super cheap eh? =D In addition, the casing is SOOoOooo cute! And when I turn the lippie out, immediately I "AWWwwwwww~" Such sweet pink shade! ^^ It kinda reminds me of Mac Viva Glam Lady Gaga Lipstick (which till now, I still havent buy!), but this seems to look cooler, like Pink 4 Friday. I think I still prefer Viva Glam Lady Gaga because I prefer warm tone pinks.

Yesterday (CNY Day 2)  I used these 2 lippies. Mainly, i use It's Skin #05 for lining, and Etude house for filling the lips.

Swatches of both lippies

On my lips, both look ALMOST similar. As I have pigmented lips, some how the swatch on my lips will turn out different from what I swatched on my hand and it might also be different from others who swatch on their lips.
Sorry for the confusion (^^"), basically the idea is that, if I want to achieve an accurate swatch, I would need to apply concealer on my lips first, before swatching the lipstick. As for here, I didn't do it because I wanted to test whether they are pigmented enough to cover my pigmented lips. And infact, they do!

Left with Etude House lippie, Right with It's Skin

Review of ETUDE HOUSE VIP Girl & It's Skin Color Play I Black Jewel Lip Rouse:
ETUDE HOUSE VIP Girl Dear Darling Lips PK008: Pigmented, smooth & easy to apply on lips. However it will look streaky if I run it over a few times. As my lips have lots of wrinkles (Oh NO! >_<;) the lippie gets trapped in between lines and its quite obvious. It accentuate the lines & wrinkles even more if I keep on applying the lippie. But usually for such cases, I will top it with lip gloss to solve the problem. ^^ Overall, I quite like the shade and would still want to continue using it so long I'm still into the BARBIE PINK phrase. lolx~

It's Skin Color Play I Black Jewel Lip Rouse #05 Love Pink: I love this coral pink shade! I never regret for grabbing this during my trip to KL, it was kind of a random buy as I just wanted to own ANY 1 THING (or maybe 2 or more) from IT'S SKIN. Lolx~
I use this as a lip liner and also as a base to conceal my pigmented lips. The pigments doesn't trap in between the wrinkles or lines, hence my lips look smooth when I smile. (unlike ETUDE HOUSE's) The only problem is that it's quite drying, so I need to be careful not to use this when I have crack/peeling lips.
And another thing which I don't like is that this lippie had to be sharpened. I'm super lazy when it comes to such thing.kekex~

Review of CooperVision Biofinity & Encore Colours Contact Lens:
Before the Chinese new year, I bought a few pair of lenses so that I can see my relative faces clearer. lolx!
I bought CooperVision Biofinity contact lenses for ~$55 & Encore Colours for ~$20 (I forgot exactly how much), got OPTI-FREE solution as gift.
All I can say about these 2 lenses is, they SUCK.
CNY Day 1, I worn Biofinity for whole day. When I got home, my eyes are like so dry. I almost bang my head to the wall because the lenses STICK on my eyeball and it wouldn't bulge! I poured solution into my eyes but the lenses just stick to my eyes like suction pads. I had to SLOWLY scrap the lens off from one eye, and for the other, I used finger to push it outside of my cornea (or iris) forcefully to the white area and then pinched it out.
CNY Day 2, I worn Encore Colours lenses for 6 hours. Immediately the moment I put on, my eyes feel irritated. But I keep telling myself not to focus on the lenses otherwise, it'll be much more irritated x 2. However, I had to keep blinking when I am in the Air-conditioned place and at some parts, it stings bad which make me tear & ruin my eyeliner. At about the 2nd hour, my eyes already turned red.

I thought it was either my eyes or the contact lenses solution that was the problem. I probably will give the lenses a try again when I find an opportunity to do so. I wouldn't want to risk my eyes wearing such lenses for the whole day (like at work or shopping), I might just test them out again for just an hour at home in both air-condition room and outdoor, so to understand what exactly is the cause. I just hope I didn't get any dry eye syndrome or something. (≥⌂≤")

Before I end this post... Everyone just take a look at this picture.... Did you spot something? (Hint: It's not my cat that I'm refering to, take a closer look... if you can/can't see it, comment below...)

Thanks for reading! Hope all of you had a great day on your CNY Day 2!~ ^o^

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

~ HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TO ALL!! ^ῷ^ ~

Hereby presenting all the Guan Yin Ma who just descended to earth~ Lolx!
CNY Day 1, I didn't plan what to wear like last year, so I just grab whatever I can find, mix & match them at the last min. I only intend to wear the rainbow dotted tights which I bought during my KL trip on last year Dec. Its really super pretty in real life! ^^ Reminds me of mermaid cos of the colourful scales... or something like that ^.^"
Guan Yin Ma OOTD:

YEAH NEW SHOES & BAG for the CNY!!~
I don't really wear wedges but this reddish orange pair from Charles & Keith ($49.90) has quite comfy soft leather material hence I convinced myself to get it, since the wedges are also not those bulky kind. The bulky or thick wedges will make me look like I have super big feet with super skinny legs. =p
The one on the right in camel & denim is from Mondo. Bought it on offer $34.90 ^^
Now that I see, both are like of the same height.. When I wear them, I'm like 180cm+~ ^_^"
I gotten a Charles & Keith bag too @ $69.90. (sadly no discounts on the items i purchased even though they put up a big big SALE sign outside the store :\) I think the bag is their newest arrival which I can't even find it in the C&K website. =_+ Anyhoo, i totally love this bag! ^^

On December, Na & I purchased stuffs from Korea through the help of Amber *muacks!* *\(~.^)
Below shows the purchases for me ALONE! Cost about $170 in total... phew!~ [ $ ] flys*

Of all, I'm most excited for the below items...
ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Volumer #1 15000won: ~ SGD$17.70
ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Loose Powder #1 12000won: ~ SGD$14.10
I'd watched a youtube video (by hover) talking about this product awhile back, so I'm pretty curious to how it actually works.
More Nymph Aura series details HERE.

As some of you already know, when you watch Kdrama/ Kmovie/ Kpop shows you see most of the artists having super smooth & glowy face. At times I wonder did they did too much plastic surgery that their faces shines like plastic? hahax!
Or do they really own a super smooth face that it can reflect lights at all angles? It kind of make me feel envious of their nice glowy skin.  I have glowy skin too when my skin starts pumping oil to surface but its only at my T-zone area. *pouts* (⌐^⌐)

ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Volumer Packaging, Ingredients & Swatches:
So much different kinds of oil in the ingredients, i'm afraid that its comedogenic. I got to check through each and every one of the ingredients to know if this product is non-comedogenic.

On CNY Day 1, I played with Nymph Aura Volumer.
The swatches on my hand, were taken after I got home (Not the one I use on my face). 1 volumer to 3 BB cream means 1:3 ratio. The BB cream has to be 3/4 times bigger area than the volumer you pump out, so that your BB cream mix would not be too oily.
And as for the 4 boxes pic that shows my cheek, I forgot to say that the upper row is before I apply Volumer. The bottom row is with a little volumer.

Review of ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Volumer:
The good side is that it did gives slight glow on my skin, not the kind that sebum pumps up from the pores, but more to the healthy glowy kind. For the whole day my face seems to be quite nice to me (Maybe my skin is on CNY mood? lolx~). It didn't pump sebum, hence I need not blot and the slight glowy look is still there till I reach home. I didn't even touch up my face, it seems like its been moisturised well, hence my skin didn't produce sebum to replenish the dry skin surface.
The bad side is, I think it doesn't suit my type of skin. =(
I find by making my face look glowy also accentuate my large pores and those tiny bumps that are all over my face, esp the area between my eyes & nose. The volumer doesn't look very bad nor that good on my type of skin, but it can still be used maybe once awhile for a change, if I feel like it.
I would however recommend the dry skin (with tiny pores) people to try this volumer! I think it will make them look very much like those Korean stars, with super smooth & healthy glowy skin! ^_^

Thanks for reading! Hope all of you had a great day on your CNY Day 1!~ ^o^

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Last year, I bought Lancaster Skin Therapy products from Sasa. As seen HERE (among my other massive haul)

The reason I bought it was 1st, strongly recommended by BA (my tots was that she's just trying to earn her commission..lolx~) 2nd, I was tempted to get the SASA VIP card. 3rd, I am again tempted... by their free gift. Ah yes, I'm a sucker for free stuffs. /(^.^")\
And the last reason was that I'm trying to find an Eye cream replacement for my Suisse Programme Eye Essence & Eye Cream (also bought from Sasa).

I ended up with 2 Lancaster products as it was a requirement to buy up to $150 worth of Lancaster so to get their VIP card & gifts. ^^

Lancaster Skin Therapy Anti-ageing Oxygen Moisturizer $99 (50ml)
Lancaster Skin Therapy Anti-ageing Oxygen Eye Care $78 (15ml)

But today I'm not going to talk about the Moisturizer, instead, I'm going to talk about the Anti-Ageing Oxygen Eye Cream.

If you had read the product write-up from the back of the box, you'll probably be as excited as me when you see the words 'Revive your eyes contour in a flash', 'Correct dark circles', 'Eyes appear rested, brighter'.

Oh well, which product doesn't write like that?lolx~

If you read carefully, this product mentioned about O2 Fix System and Horse Chestnut. What's O2 Fix System? Well I'm not sure too, but according to Lancaster Beauty website, it suppose to capture oxygen and diffuse 'optimal amounts' to the skin.
Then what does Horse Chestnut (Aesculus Hippocastanum) do? Its said to improve vein wall tone, mend tiny leaks in veins and capillaries, strengthen and improve the elasticity of vein walls. It also improves circulation in the skin and since it strengthens the capillaries – it helps to prevent “capillary fragility” which leads to "leaking" from the capillaries into the tissue.
If one wants to find an alternative for Vitamin K ingredient in an eye cream, one  should look for Horse Chestnut.
I believe such properties could save my super dark circles as its often mentioned that broken blood vessels are its main cause, thus ingredients that have the ability of strengthening capillaries would be the best treatment for the dark circles.

In the Ingredients, I saw there's Caffeine & Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract. These caught my eyes as I'm a coffee lover myself, therefore it makes me wonder if Coffee benefits my body in anyway since I drink them almost everyday. I heard that coffee can prevent cancer, is that really true? ^_^

But for what I know, Caffeine has anti-inflammatory properties. So the theory is that if caffeine is placed under the eye, then it can help reduce puffiness and dark circle as they are caused by inflammation.

Talking about Coffee beans, they are actually the seed of coffee berries. Coffee seeds are natural anti-oxidants, that clearly explains why this eye cream uses coffee seed extract as one of its ingredient.
And hey, do you know that Coffee Berry Extract is one anti-oxidant that provides the best protection against UVA rays, UVB rays and age-accelerating free radicals? CoffeeBerry anti-oxidant properties are even higher than pomegranate, blueberry, acai or goji, higher than even green tea anti-oxidant.
If CoffeeBerry has such high anti-oxidant properties, then would its seed extract have the same amount of anti-oxidant level too???
Well, I couldn't find the answer through my search on the web, so it will remain as a mystery~ lolx~

Next, I spotted a few other ingredients like mica, silica and titanium dioxide in the eye cream. These ingredients are commonly used in cosmetics or mineral based makeup.
Though each of them have their individual benefits & reasons to exist in a skincare product, but I still like to regard them as makeup, even if they are of a very minimum amount. ^^"

Eye Cream tube
I have no problem getting the content out from the tube. The plastic tube material is not slippery kind, hence squeezing at the end of the tube won't have it flying out of my fingers. hahax~ ^-^

Eye Cream Swatch
When I first swatched it at Sasa, it kept giving me little residues after I blended out the cream. I was worried that it will do the same to my undereyes so I took quite some time in considering my purchase of Lancaster. After a few rounds of swatching, both me and the BA realised that the residues were mainly caused by our dirty hands! kekekex~ (⌐∑⌐)

Its cream texture felt slightly thick & dense. When spread out, it felt really smooth. At 1 point, I thought it contains silicon, but there wasn't any written in the ingredient list, or perhaps it has a secondary name to it?
When applied, the cream doesn't absorb easily on my undereyes. Some massaging had to be done with the fingers to make it absorbed.
While I'm blending out the cream all around my eyes and it started to get absorded to skin, that is the time I felt the texture turned alittle bit greasy. It's kind of like a smooth-almost greasy feel, if you know what I mean ^^"
But after its been fully absorbed, the skin around my eyes look matte and it felt powdery smooth!
Note that such cream if its not properly blended out, the cream that stays on the skin surface will harden quickly and form residues or small 'eraser-like' particles if I run my fingers through the hardened cream.
Below shows the cream → when blended out →  fully absorbed with visible mini micas. (top-bottom)

My Review on Lancaster Skin Therapy Anti-ageing Oxygen Eye Care Eye Cream
I only use this Eye Cream at night, because I'm afraid that it will have the residues like I experienced during my 1st swatch. Plus, because of its texture, it is EASY to get residues if I'm not careful enough.
Even though it contains mica which I often mentioned that I would prefer to use anything that contains mica in the morning, I would still use this at night because I found out that the eye cream is slightly dry and doesn't gives enough moisture to my undereyes, thus forming visible lines when I put on foundation.
1 main point that make me want to talk about this eye cream is that I experience visible results for my dark circles. Mind that I only use this every night, massaging it with the vibrating tool (from L'Oreal as shown below).
Day time, I use Suisse Programme Eye Essence & Eye Cream.
At first I wasn't expecting results from this eye cream (frankly speaking, I don't expect results from any eye creams cos I know my dark circles are hopeless! lolx~), so I didn't pay much attention to my undereyes. But 1 day, when I was concealing my undereyes, I found that I'd used lesser concealer than usual to conceal the dark circles.
And then the following week, I find that my dark circles are getting easier to conceal, as it started to look less visible! I find it so amazing that everyday during work, I had to go toilet to examine my dark circles and was really happy that it wasn't as visible as last time! =D
This 'miracle' happened to me after using the product for 1.5 months.
After I experience this 'miracle' I suddenly stopped using the Eye Cream as I was too busy with work and after that I even flew to KL for a cosplay event. I was too tired during that 2 weeks that I forgotten to use back my Lancaster Eye Cream.
Right after the trip back, my dark circles became hopeless again! hahhax~ ^∆^"
As for now, I'm using back this eye cream & I'm still waiting for that 'miracle' to come again. (^_^)

I also want to give credits to this L'Oreal vibrating tool! (lolx~) Its a simple yet wonderful eye massaging tool. I had used it ever since I won it from a L'Oreal event, and I even changed the battery for 3 times! (1 battery last about 1 month+, I use this twice daily-morning & night)
However I don't use its eye cream as I find it greasy, doesn't absorb well to my undereyes, am afraid that it will cause millia seeds.

And that's all for my review, thanks for reading~ ^^

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Product names written and coloured in turquoise were given by its company to me for trial.

This post is somewhat the continuation of my previous X'mas-New Year post. ^^ (Read HERE for the previous post)

Last year Dec 16-19, I and a few friends went to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur for a Cosplay event, Comic Fiesta 2011. The CF 2011 was held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) and we stayed only a walking distance away, which is the Impiana Hotel.

The Petronas Twin Towers taken at night with Iphone. I posted this pic on that day in Instagram.

This is not my first time going to KL as previous was a work trip at some ulu KL industrial area, but I totally never been in KL town area before so most of the shopping places were recommended by my friends. Our first stop was at Nandos @ Sungei Wang. Heard that Nandos in Malaysia is 100% yummier than Singapore + cheap + no service charge! So yah, I tried one of their set meal. It was OK for me. My friends mentioned that the chicken thigh has shrunk and the taste wasn't that yummy like last time. They were rather disappointed.
The MILD flag is actually the spiciness level. I love adding the Garlic sauce from the bottle, my food taste nicer with the garlic ^^

Then we proceed to Sungei Wang for shopping, cos my friends said Sungei Wang is the best shopping place in KL, its like Far East Plaza, there are many levels and many shops in there and all their stuffs are CHEAAPPPppp~.
And what did I do? I went to a SALON to BLEACH my hair. (Not cheap though, cost me RM400!) Lolx~ I wanted to do it because I'm need my hair to be yellow for my cosplay on the CF Day 2. Below is a magazine which I was reading while I'm doing my hair. Fashion bloggers magazine! When will Singapore have their own Fashion/Beauty Bloggers magazine? o_O The contents inside the mag was very interesting! ^^

We then had Korean BBQ for dinner! Funny thing for this restaurant is that the staff in there said "SA WA DI KA!" to welcome customers. Isn't that THAI????!!! Lolx!~ Anyways, I LOVEEEEEEE The meat!!!! Its tender, thickness was just nice, so I don't find it hard to chew but yet, its thick enough to spill juices inside my mouth. *mouth watering meat~* I was still craving for more after we finished cos th BBQ set was shared among 5 of us. =p

And my small Haul @ Sungei Wang... Nothing much eh? I was in need of face mist (forgot to bring to KL) so dropped by Etude house to get 1 ^^ and look at the pretty paper bag they gave me~ BTW, it was a man who served me at Etude house.. Shouldn't singapore start recruiting male BAs now? We are like WAYYYYY behind! Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia they all employ handsome male BAs! SG should have too! >,<

After half a day of shopping & eating, we all PENGS cos we din have any sleep at all on the previous day!!!!!~ (The long couch was REALLY COMFY!~ <^o^<)

The next day was Comic Fiesta Day 1. I wasn't cosplaying as I only intend to do for CF Day 2. And here shows me in my newly bleached hair. (Its SUPA DRY I TELL YOU! >_< I think I could die if I don't mask it.)

We joked that I'm bringing my 2 kids to school on their first day. Cos we all got same blonde hair! (Their's are wigs ^^)

And we're all set to go for the Comic Fiesta!!!!~ Before we were even there, we knew the Queue was super long (Some Q for 3 HOURS!) because of the overwhelming crowd!!! But thanks to someone *winks*, we get in the event hall in no time! hehhehex~ =p
This is my first time attending a cosplay event overseas and also my first time seeing the event hall filled with rows & rows of doujin booths! OMG!~ Artworks after artworks after artworks~ Lovely! (//^o^//)

Spotted a T-shirt painting artist! Her drawings are so cute! ^^ But I din have time to wait for her to finish painting so I din buy.. =p
And spotted many BJD, dolls and some alien sculptures too! Aren't they talented?! ^^

The Vendors/Sponsors section, selling merchandises of all sorts. And schools that teaches manga drawing/animation. Yuanie & Hoshi having fun posing with Ironman. kekekx~

Cosplay photos I took on Day 1~ Check out the mini Alien!

Oh yes, I almost forgot to show you all how crazy was the crowd at both outside & inside of the event... X_X"

Finally, here shows my Haul from the Doujin booths!
I posted about Nyanpire before and I was excited when I saw Nyanpire at the CF! hohoox~ So i bought it~ ^^
Of the various accessories I bought for myself, I find that the rainbow cake charm was really cute! And the gingerbread man bracelet (that is for my friend^^) Those jewelleries are HANDMADE! Visit tinypinc HERE~
And for the contact lens case, they are super cheap, cost about SGD$1 or so only. I bought a similar one in SG for $3.90! Basket.=_=

Here I am in our room, getting ready for CF Day 2. Actually I'm READY. hahax~ With help from beloved friends- Di & nessa~ (I think i really can't wear a costume without help. Useless. =_=)

I do not know which korean character is the lady cosplaying, anyone knows? But it look fantastic! With the hair and everything! And then POKEMON!!! My fav nintendo game when I was young.. lolx~

Most cosplayers were all standing in the holding area walking around taking pics, including us. hahax~ I didn't really took alot of the cosplayer photos as I'm about 80% handicap myself..^^" Cos I need to carry my long skirt tail when I walk, otherwise people will step on it!

Finally, we on our way walking back to hotel via the overhead bridge. The bridge was always empty, so we jumped on the chance, had a few shots of our own before going back hotel. ^^

Photos by Data~

Yuanie, Hoshi, Data, mi!

Data took some pics for me at the lobby. One of them is this which I'm sitting down! This pic enhances my blue eyes really well! Uh i mean blue lens~ While the blur pic on the right is taken using Iphone with help from Yuanie @ the corridor outside our room. ^^"

On the 4th day, which is our last day in KL, Hoshi and I went shopping. YEAH, at last! (Yuanie was at a photoshoot)
We walked from our hotel to Pavilion. There were tons of BEARS displayed outside the Pavilion, featuring each country's paintings & designs on the bear. Some of the designs are pretty obvious where its from, I compiled a few bears to show to all as seen below.
Anyone can guess the replica version of winnie the pooh is from_____???? And guess which is Singapore's???

We then walk to Sungei Wang, and on the way went in other malls to take a look.
I also went in Sephora and found out that their stuffs are sold slightly cheaper than Singapore! I din buy anything though, cos the lighting in there was Orange, I can't see the swatches whether they are beige/yellow/orange or wat! I hate their lightings <∆<"
