New Japan cosmetics @ Guardian (Brigitte, Bonavoce, Diamond Blush, ZOGAN) ~ OOTD ~ LOTD

I had been seeing alot of ROLA, a 22-year old half Bangladeshi half Japanese (& quarter Russian?) model who models for many brands, inclusive fashion, beauty products, even electronics and stuffs in Tokyo when I was there past 2 weeks. And not to mention I can even see her live at many channels on TV ALMOST everyday! She is really pretty that my eyes got glued watching her on the TV! Lolx! Last time I see her modeling in VIVI Magazine alot but now she's not appearing in it anymore.. Her modeling career had matured since then, now she often appear in variety shows (funny ones, cute ones, serious ones, every variety show I watched she's there!) and she even sing!

She now models for the cosmetic brand Brigitte which debuted January this year.
I also spotted Brigitte in Japan, but Japan pricing had went up quite drastically in compare to 5 years ago when I was there. (Inflation?) Most of the cosmetics there are priced almost same as Singapore's or even more expensive! Only certain drugstore brands are a few dollars cheaper than SG's. Hence I didn't really buy alot of cosmtics in Japan, including Brigitte.. *sobs*
HOWEVERRRRR~ until just now, I found out that Singapore had brought in BRIGITTE!!!!!! I found it North Point (Yishun) Guardian and I was like 'OMG ROLA!!!!!!!' *hair stands & take photo take photo!* kekkeke~

Here are all the products currently sold in Japan. Take the price (yen) divide by 60 and you will get it in SGD$.

Almost all japanese girls like wearing false lashes even if its for play, work, old, young... therefore for every makeup line, they sure gonna have false lashes!

And here's Brigitte at North Point Guardian. The pricings for Brigitte are very reasonable! They are only about $2 more ex than Japan's Brigitte. Infact, the mascara, eyeshadow palette, blusher are the same price as Japan's! Kudos to the SG company who price Brigitte! XD~

As I'm in hurry to rush off, the photos didn't show everything and I didn't swatch too.. ^^" I'm definitely going to swatch the eyeshadow the next time I see Brigitte again!

Guardian now has 20% discount and +10% if you have Passion EZ-Link Card. However I didn't see any discount label on Brigitte, therefore I think they are not under this promotion? Anyways Brigitte is new product most prob no discounts. But all other brands shown below are! Today (1 July) is the last day for you to enjoy the discount!~

Guardian also has Bonavoce, newly launced this year April in Japan. Products produced by fashion model, Saeko.

Here are all the items available so far for Bonavoce, I think we could expect more cosmetic range from Bonavoce in future~

For Bonavoce products, its even cheaper sold in SG than Japan! YEAH to SG Bonavoce!! ^o^v~

I think Guardian is selling the limited eyeliner here! (If I didn't see wrong..?)

Diamond Beauty also got into the shelves too at Guardian! ^^
I was told by my friend Sel that she spotted Diamond Blush at North Point Guardian and we went around looking for other Guardians in Orchard area, we couldn't find any! I wonder when would they be putting all these japan cosmetics up at other Guardians... anyone seen them elsewhere so far?
Diamond Beauty is the only brand there that has the MOST BLUSH SHADES!! I think basically its their main product therefore the brand name Diamond blush? lolx.. Oh yes, Japanese girls LOVEEeeee putting blushes (often pink or neon pink, I see) and they always seem to me, unblended. I don't know if its their preference... or is it IN to do so? Their blushes are super pink on their cheeks, sometimes just right under their eyes like 2 round ANG KU KUEH (red round oval shaped Chinese cake). Even for ROLA whom I often watched on TV, she also have super pink round blush on.
However I don't dislike seeing their blushes like that because they LOOK GOOD with unblended blush! As most japanese are super fair almost like white paper, the neon pink ang ku kueh actually compliment their skin and features! ^_^

As mentioned, no brand will forget to make their own range of lashes. lolx~
I read reviews on a few Jap magazine which I bought over there, some of them introduced Diamond lash. I wanted to get my hands on them in Tokyo but I couldn't find any! (Main reason cos I only have 2 days to shop.. and I only shopped at 1 place. T△T")

Diamond Beauty has NOSE MAKEUP too! First time ever I seen a nose makeup palette coming in SG! More often than not, we use eyebrow palette and eyeshadow or face highlight for shading the nose.. lolx~
I'd seen those Shibuya 109 shop assistants putting up very heavy nose makeup. Though by looking at them in real life kinda looks weird because of the visible shading edge lines, but overall if you look at them from front view, they look really awesome. But not from the side view. hahhaax~

Diamond Blush in Guardian is priced about $5 more than Japan. Nose palette $6 more. I can't comment on the lashes as I think I forgot to take picture of it.. or its not even there on the shelves?? ^^"

ZOGAN MASK...... I have no comments as I totally do not know who is 田中宥久子! hahax~ ^_^" From the site can see that the mask is being sold at more than S$10 per piece! Wow~

And in SG, its being sold as $9.90, slightly cheaper!~

A week ago, I spotted Melody and Kuromi (Sanrio) Bath Shower also at Guardian (AMK)! Its only $7.90! Its sho cute that I Instagram this and got my friends buying them too! ^_^

SHOooooooo cute isnt it!?! Just had to love Kuromi!!~ I will definitely keep this and refill it with hand soap once I use up the bath shower. ^o^~

OOTDs

Its been way too long since I post my OOTD here.. I had only been posting it on instagram cos its really fast to do so with a mobile phone. And today, Amazon cloud hit United States and that make Pinterest, Netflix and Instagram down. Heard that it would most probably be up and running by Monday.
Nonetheless, here goes my few most recent OOTD. ^^

Mint Green OOTD:
Headband - Helen
Inner top - GMarket
Outer top - Faire Belle
Mint green side button-up shorts - GMarket
Fairytale Tattoo Pantyhose - Spinns (Japan, Harajuku)
Pink suede heels: Overseas
Brown leather bag: Overseas

Baggy Top OOTD (WAAAaaaT name is this?<_<)
Headband - EXPO Flea Market
Outer top - Spinns (Japan, Harajuku)
Artsy Paint Mini Skirt - GMarket
Polka dot mint green Pantyhose - Japan, Harajuku
Floral lace wedge heels: Overseas
Brown leather bag: Overseas

Yesterday's LOTD & OOTD: Pink Summer
Instead of using black eyeliner, I use the pink & purple from my Sleek Carribean Collection Palette to line the tail of my eyes. Because I was teary again, I think eyeliner won't work so I tot perhaps eyeshadow can withstand a little longer.. but actually at end of day, the pink & purple have long gone...washed off by my tears. =p~
Lens - I.fairy Trinity in Green
EyeLash - MEGAHOLIC Rubber Extension Mascara
Blush - Mio Piccolo Flower Cheek Blush in #02 Rose
My face look quite flawless here cos its taken by my phone camera using app Camera360! ^^ (actually still can see grey dots ah~ its my scars.. =_=")

Beverly Hills Top - Overseas
Pastel floral short pants - POPGIRL (Japan, Ueno)
Nude shade Pantyhose - Overseas
Floral lace wedge heels: Overseas

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

miwitch's Japan Tokyo Trip 2012 ~ Disney Sea

Hey all, I just returned from my June Holiday Tokyo trip last week ^_^.
For the past few days, I had been packing my stuffs and busy editing photos of the trip so I could post it here to share with all. ^^
During my tokyo 10-day trip, I had been somewhat micro-blogging about the stuffs I had seen and bought from tokyo. You could view them by clicking the instagram logo at the left side bar. ^^

In this post, I'm just gonna show some pictures I took for the first 2 days of my 10-day trip. Enjoy! ^_~ -♥

Me in my pink 'fluffy animal ear muff-like" hair... lolx~ Was sitting on my luggage bag waiting for check-in at SG airport terminal 1. I posted this at instagram too~ ^^ Btw, I took AirAsia, probably the ONLY(?) Budget airline that departs and arrive at Terminal 1 (YEAH! DFS!) instead of Budget terminal. So, choose AirAsia in future! (I should be paid doing advertisement right? kekeke~)

Product Review: TALIKA Skin Retouch (Photoshopped skin?)

Before, I posted about a Media Launch for TALIKA Skin Retouch (Click HERE).
Today, I'm going to do a review of this pretty baby~ ^^

How do we acheive SMOOTH SKIN in within a Minute?

By using TALIKA Skin Retouch!! See how my skin looks so smooth after application??? Amazing!~~

It looks as if I use photoshop BLUR tool to make the skin smooth and wrinkle free right?? =D But nope! This is all by using Skin Retouch!

My REVIEW on TALIKA Skin Retouch :
- fluid is easy to dispense just by squeezing if from the applicator tube
- applicator is rubbery, flexible, able to smooth the fluid over any surface (on face, hand, neck, collar etc)
- fluid gets hardened within the tube if the product is being left unused for too long
- smells a mixture of rubber, leather plus fragrance, its rather light to be that noticeable
- texture is smooth matte gel
- easy to smooth out if fluid used is little as there's a tendency that the fluid will cause uneven application
- takes a little more time to smooth out evenly if amount is more (eg, amount used for whole face & neck)
- requires about 30 secs for the fluid to fully settled on the skin layer
- Skin Retouch is to be used as the last step of skincare and the step before makeup
- liquid and cream makeup (eg, concealer, liquid foundation) doesn't work well with skin retouch, it will get pretty ugly when intouch with it even if the Skin Retouch had already fully settled onto the skin layer (this point was mentioned to us during the media launch)
- tried using 2-in-1 and compact foundation ontop of Skin Retouch, the foundation doesn't stay well and will look pretty messy
- I only use Skin Retouch when I am not wearing any makeup, using it as a 'treatment' at home
- alternatively, i use Skin Retouch only at neck, collar, hands or other parts of body that is dry and wrinkly
- this cannot be used at night as it is considered as a cosmetic with skincare ingredients
- the effect fades off slightly after my face produce sebum
- even after washing the Skin Retouch off from my face with tap water once, face still feels really smooth and matte
- a makeup remover and cleanser is required to fully remove Skin Retouch from face
- only need to wash few times under tap water to remove Skin Retouch from hands
- overall experienced smooth & matte skin, shows lesser fine lines after using Skin Retouch
- doesn't drys out skin, or breaks out my skin
- suitable for both gender to use!

Retail Price:
TALIKA Skin Retouch (30ml) - S$83.00

Where to buy:
Talika products can be purchased at these outlets

TALIKA Sites:

Hereby thanking TALIKA & Jeslyn from Xiaoyuan for giving me the chance to try out the TALIKA Skin Retouch. ^^ ♥

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Product Review: TALIKA Lipocils & Black 20-day efficacy test

This year, TALIKA came out with an innovative design which combines its original Lipocils product (my review), with a newly formulated mascara. It is the Lipocils & Black®.

HISTORY of TALIKA Lipocils :

TALIKA Lipocils & Black Packaging & Ingredients :

On the box shows both ingredient list of the Lipocils and the Black Mascara. Both are good to use for 12 months after opening.
However base on the past Talika Lipocils Expert event, we were told that it is best to use Lipocils for 1-2 months and thereafter, buy a new one to continue using it. (I could do that if only I'm really that rich! lolx~)
There are also some lipocils ingredients found inside Black Mascara, therefore it would be best to apply the lipocils and mascara every day, and lipocils only for every night to achieve better results.

When I first took out the product, I really like the aesthetics of it! It looks almost glass-like, slim, stream-line, and simple.
The product is pretty long, when I put it standing side by side with my brushes, it stands as tall as them. ^^

TALIKA Lipocils & Black product details :

The applicator is no difference from its predecessor (as seen HERE).
The mascara brush size is just nice for my lashes, it is not too big which most probably would easily poke my eyes when I use it, nor is it too small where I need to brush many times to fill every lashes with the mascara.

BEFORE and AFTER using TALIKA Lipocils & Black :

Supposedly, I should use this for 28 days and show the results to all, but I feel that I'm already experiencing the difference in my lashes only after 20 days usage!
Moreover, I don't use it twice everyday, sometimes its like: Black Mascara(day) + Lipocils (night)
Or: Lipocils (night only)

Black mascara swatch on my lashes:
I have thin, droopy, sparse lashes and I have almost NO bottom lashes (=_=") or rather, they are too thin & sparse to be noticeable. When I use the Black mascara alone, it makes my lashes look thicker and longer and yet not making it look too dramatic, good for schooling and work. Best thing is that this mascara doesn't make my lashes droop even after many hours of wearing it.

Taken using my iphone, wearing only the mascara to work. (Ahhh.. my droopy lids =_=)

My REVIEW on TALIKA Lipocils & Black :
I very much preferred this new product over the Lipocils Expert now, as the addition of the mascara makes me want to use it everyday. ^^
- Lipocils when applied along lash line feels cooling
- When content accidentally gets in contact with my eyes, it stings slightly (unlike the Lipocils expert which doesn't sting my eyes)
- Black mascara is easy to apply without clumping
- After the mascara dries, the lashes still feels light and soft
- Mascara lengthens and thickens my lashes, and doesn't smudge at all 
- Mascara keeps the lashes curled for whole day
- Mascara is easy to cleanse off

I will continue to use this Lipocils & Black and would consider to purchase it if I ever want my lashes to be thicker and longer in the future again. ^_^

Retail Price:
TALIKA Lipocils & Black (2 x 2.5ml) - S$69.00

Where to buy:
Talika products can be purchased at these outlets

Product Review: Skin Food Red Orange Make-up Line (For summer)

During end of May 2012, I received a surprise parcel from Skin Food~ ^^

In the parcel, a new range of Skin Food cosmetic/make-up packaged in bright Orange Red was found, and this range is name:

The following items were sent to me for my review:
- Skin Food Red Orange Jelly BB SPF20 PA++ (25g)

- Skin Food Red Orange Sun Powder SPF45 PA+++ (20g)

- Skin Food Red Orange Sun Pact SPF50 PA+++ (9.5g)

- Skin Food Red Orange Makeup Finish, Glossy Type (80ml)

Along came a hand written card from Cheryl!~ ★ sparkle ☆ sparkle ★ sunglare (Y am i PSing this card like that? <_<) Thank you for the stuffs!~ ^_^/~♡

Skin Food Red Orange Make-up Product Introduction:
Red Orange makeup range is specially formulated for the Hot Summer season. (Hot summer! AH Hot Hot summer!~ Guess which song is this? =p~)
It contains enough UV protection for the skin to shield off strong UV rays, its ingredients helps to hydrate our skin even under the hot weather, and it controls our sebum production so that the makeup would last longer.

Skin Food Red Orange Make-up Product Line:
Jelly BB SPF20 PA++: Comes in 2 shades. No 1.Light Beige and No 2.Natural Beige
Sun Pact SPF50+ PA+++: Compact type of sun powder, for oily skin type
Sun Powder (SPF45 PA+++): Loose powder form in tub
Make-up Finish: Comes in 2 types, Glossy and Matte. It is a mist make-up fixer.

Red Orange Jelly BB SPF20 PA++
When I first open it up, some of the BB was sticked to the inner white cap/lid. And it looks like pudding to me!~ Yum~
I was given Shade number 2 - Natural Beige.

Red Orange Sun Powder (SPF45 PA+++)
The mesh lid that grinds the powder to very fine particles is very interesting. ^_^

Red Orange Sun Pact SPF50+ PA+++
The shade of this sun pact differs from the sun powder, it is more of the pinkish shade. The design on the powder makes it look like a real orange! It gives a 'sunkist' kind of feel. lolx~

Red Orange Make-up Finish (Glossy Type)
I was only given the glossy type hence I will be only reviewing this. Might also review the Matte type if I could get my hands on it ^^

Skin Food Red Orange Jelly BB Swatches (Hand and Face)
The jelly BB I picked up was rather too much for the face application. In fact, half of this content would be more than enough. ^^
The jelly feels bouncy, smooth and easily spread out as its consistency is that of a liquid foundation.
Though the shade I receive is Number 2 (Natural beige), it is still quite light for my skintone. My skin appears ashy when I apply the jelly BB alone, I would usually combine with another BB to make the shade slightly darker & warmer to suit me.

This is taken under white lamp lighting:

The jelly BB has light coverage, it helps to balance out skintone but it doesn't fully cover my flaws (scars and little reddish oil spots).

Skin Food Red Orange Sun Powder & Sun Pact Swatches (Hand and Face)
In many cases, powder with high UV protection more often than not, are whiter in shade. Though the powder in the tub is being seen as light beige, but when applied to my face, it appear as white.

Below shows swatches of Sun Powder and Sun Pact (on bare skin and ontop of Jelly BB)
Both Sun powder and sun pact appears whitish on my skin.

My REVIEW on Skin Food Red Orange Make-up
I have medium chinese skin-tone, orange-yellowish undertone. I find that Korean products tend to target towards very fair to fair skin tone with cool undertone (Pink, beige). Hence at times when I use Korean made cosmetics, my skin tend to look ashy.

Review of BB Jelly (Shade no. 2 - Neutral Beige):
- shade is more suitable for slightly fairer skin tone than mine, best suit cool to beige undertone
- light coverage
- after blending it out, it feels almost the same as liquid foundation
- smooth and easy to blend
- will dry up if let alone for sometime, forming 'eraser' like particles, best to blend it out quickly after dotting the BB on face
- lesser tendency to appear patchy after application

Review of Sun Powder:
- has slight white cast if powder on using the puff
- transparent if powder using brush (if apply too much, will still show little white cast)
- no coverage
- very fine and smooth texture
- appears matte finish even though product information mentioned it has shimmer

Review of Sun Pact:
- has slight white cast if powder on using the puff
- transparent if powder using brush (if apply too much, will still show little white cast)
- no coverage
- smooth texture
- matte finish

Review of Makeup Finish (Glossy Type):
- at my first spray, the red orange fragrance was very strong and made me sneeze. After few rounds, I am used to the fragrance and loving it!~ ♥
- does make my face appears slightly glossy, dewy
- useful when touching up makeup, act as both a makeup remover and a makeup fixer
- need to close eyes long enough for the mist to fully settle on face, as it stings my eyes slightly when I try to open my eyes immediately after I spray

Overall Review:
All Red Orange cosmetics has quite a strong fragrance, it smells citrus and same time reminds me of grapefruit! I would love to use the Jelly BB if only it suit my skintone better, however I'm still be able to use it when I mix it with my other BBs.
The sun powder and sun pact is very useful as it has high SPF, I use it when I know I am going outdoors for long hours.
I will bring sun pact along when I go out, so I could brush on a light layer of SPF 50 PA+++ every now and then when I visit the washroom. ^_^
It does help also to hydrate my skin alittle as I didn't experience any dryness while wearing the makeup.
My combination skin would still produce sebum after every few hours, so I would use the makeup finish spray to help on touching up.
Lastly, I did not experience any major break-outs when I'm using Red Orange range makeup.
I am still using the makeup until now, carrying the sun pact and spray everywhere I go. ^▽^

Price:
Skin Food Red Orange Jelly BB SPF20 PA++ - S$26.90
Skin Food Red Orange Sun Powder SPF45 PA+++ - S$33.90
Skin Food Red Orange Sun Pact SPF50 PA+++ - S$35.90
Skin Food Red Orange Makeup Finish - S$21.90

Promotion:
Just learnt that currently Skin Food is giving away 1 eyeshadow for every S$60 spent at the outlets.
For every S$80 spent, you would be able to buy a BB cream at a offered price.
I happen to chance upon this promotion when I was introducing Red Orange cosmetics to my friend at AMK Hub Skin Food outlet.

Art Jamming at NU Artists Gallery - a post dedicated to my cat pet Mimi

Last month, I went to an Art Jamming session with a group of my ex-NYP classmates at 42 Kandahar Street, the place named NU Artists Gallery.
[Pic from Source]

Its been like AGES since I touched anything canvas, brushes, acrylic paints (except Photoshop & makeup brushes, hahaha! ^o^).I think its been 10 years! OMG, I'm so old already! =_= And that makes the same thing for all of my friends. wakaka.. :p

This Art Jamming is a 3 hour painting session, each of us provided with an easle, free flow of more than 25 in-house acrylic paint colours , many different sizes of brushes, and a canvas. All for only $25/pax! (Original price at $59)

Blow drying their paintings! And spot that CAPTAIN AMERICA! ^o^ Why no people paint LOKI???

Oh-Ba-Kak Mario hahaha!

Lovely Rose! My friend intend to paint a series of flowers for every jamming session, I think she want to build a gallery of flower paintings in her own home. Lolx~

This is really beautiful! My friend Lani wants to paint this and give her friend as a house warming gift!

After showing everyone's, here's mine!!! Opps, this is just a draft. haha.. While most of my friends uses pictures as reference for their painting, I use my Mimi's (my male cat pet) pic as reference & the rest of the stuffs made up using my own imagination... and make him into.............

PINK?!!!!!

The palette is transparent! So unlike last time which we always use was white plastic.. this look so much more professional!

Our Masterpiece! Spot me & my painting!

TADA!! Mimi became CAT PRINCESS!!! Muahahahax~ I didn't blow dry my painting as I did my paint in thin layers therefore it drys up pretty fast before I do the next layer.

Painting when placed under spot light. It looks nicer, with the Silver and Gold paint enhanced.

Here are the DETAILED pictures of my CAT PRINCESS Painting! Some colours in the pictures are enhanced using Photoshop.

I will be using this Portrait to put as background for miwitch.com soon! ^_^ I feel I should also paint a direct opposite version - GOTH or DEVIL CAT. hahah~

When I bring the painting home, Mimi was like, sniff sniff here sniff sniff there~

And he want to rub his 'scent' to the canvas.

Its so hard for me to take a good pic of him, he keep looking away or appear like this =_= Mimi ah~ mimi~

And finally, I Got one!!! ^_^ This was also posted to NU Artists Gallery Facebook!

Iphone managed to take a more cuter pose of him and the painting! ^^ His 'beard' so messy haha~

My thoughts:
I think I never been so proud of my own painting before. I could have done better for this painting and provide even nicer details if I ever been given a good thin brush. Sad to say that for this art jamming session, I had difficulty in using their brushes to add shadows and highlights to my painting. I managed to only find 1 flat brush which I use it to draw thin lines and dot highlights. Other than that brush, all other brushes are just used for filling in colours.
However, the 3 hour time frame, the atmosphere and acrylic paint in multi-colours provided are really great! I couldn't ask for more! (only better brushes. Hahah~)
Nonetheless, I really look forward to go for another jamming session with friends! Its more fun to do it with family and friends or even colleagues! Its like a bonding session too besides just painting. ^^

Here, showing NU Artists Gallery's latest Newsletter
And see if you can spot Mimi in their newsletter??? ^_^ YAP! He's in this newsletter~ helping NU Artists Gallery to promote their newest project! This time round NU Artists Gallery co-operated with Bakery Singapore and Animal Lovers League to create a Paws Project! To know more, read on! ^^

Please support Paws Project! For the love of all the beautiful animals out there! ^___^v~

Lastly, some pictures of Mimi, since this post is somewhat dedicated to him.... hahaha~
His favourite sleeping pose! BELLY AGAINST WALL.

And Mimi LIKES TO DROOL!!!!! See him waterfall!~

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

I am not in any way affiliated to NU Artists Gallery.

Collective Crazy Fashion & Cosmetic Haul ~ DollyWink ~ Heroine Make ~ envie de neuf

Splurggggggggg even when I'm super busy with my work. I wonder how I can do that. =_="
With help of my friend overseas, I did some shopping.... over the air. Lolx~
I really don't know how to put up the pricings for all these stuffs, all I know is that I spent over S$500 for all these. ^.^" Call me CRAAAAAAZEH!~

I need BAGSSsss because I always think I only own some dull looking ones hence this time round I requested for rainbow bags!! So I won't go "AISSSHHhh!! Why I no hab Pink bag to go with my top!" etc....
And SHOES! Yah, shoes... I need to get more because the ones I bought from Muji about a year ago are all ROTTEN. Either the heels broke, the soles came off or the fabric peeled. =_=" And therefore, I need new ones to replace the old! 旧的不去 ,新的不来!呵呵~ (Direct translate: Old don't go, New won't come!)
If you'd noticed, I like covered shoes more as I don't have nice looking feet. They are all scrawny bony lookin'... Um.. yah, thats it. -_-" You can say, I'm pretty lazy taking care of my feet...m(_ _")m But more importantly, meat doesn't grow around my hands and legs, I wonder why.

And.... I kinda felt embarrased and yet the other side of my brain felt pretty proud of showing THIS much of hosiery purchase. hurhur~
Well, why I buy so much - reason is the same as the colourful bags. lolx~ And also these stuffs spoils faster! One scratch and into the bin it goes!
Pink brushesssssss~ Really cute! I think its my first time owning a set of pink brushes~ Part of them is for Na~
Random jeans - they are long enough for my long legs so I got a few to try out~
Necklaces - Clearer pics below~ ^^

Picturrrrrrs of my colourful bags! I realised there are quite a few similar looking bags like this sold in D&C! Which I had seen it myself and felt with my own hands, I think theirs are made with the same kind of material too.
Currently, I'm using the double handle blue bag for work as its the only one that can carry most stuffs.
My favourite as of now (base on colour & design) would be the wine red drawstring bag. ^^

The yellow and magenta are pretty striking!

Orangey-coral is the popular shade for this season! And finally a sweet beigey-pink for the neutral look.

Here comes the feet stuffs! From leggings to panty hose to socks in various colours~

Pendants
If you ever read Taiwan manga [THE ONE] [独领风骚], you will know what this is all about. ^^ One of the item needed for my cosplay~ Btw, this is made of stainless steel, laser cut out.

I'd finally made a necklace out of my own nickname. This nickname "miwitch" had followed me a looooong way. Many friends who knew me through cosplay, online forum and gaming will call me by my nickname. I think it would be good if I wear this out to meet new online friends so when I introduce myself *points to necklace*, my nickname gets imprinted to their brain immediately. :p~ *evil laugh*
I'd also used a different set of fonts to redesign it, and inputs {†} into the "t" but as expected, due to the pendant is too small, the laser cutting machine couldn't make cut dedicate turns and hence my 'cross' design somewhat became a normal "t" shape. lolx~
That crown is an extra cos I feel that the name is too..... simple looking, so I use their pre-designed crown to put ontop of the cross. I hope people could still read this as miwitch, instead of miwich or miwicrowntch or miwispiderch etc.. kekeke~

OOTDs
Few simple OOTD previously posted in my Instagram ^^

On to Cosmetic Haul...

Kudos to my bro and his gf who helped to CP these babies! ♥
[Left to right]
Dolly Wink LONG Mascara TW559 ~S$24.30: Ranked No. 2 mascara in 2011 @ Cosme
Dolly Wink Eyebrow Mascara #1 TW369 ~S$16
Dolly Wink Eyebrow Pencil #1 TW 249 ~S$10.80
Dolly Wink No. 5 Lower lash TW399 ~S$17.30: Ranked No. 1 lash product in 2011 @ Cosme

This Dolly Wink eyeliner came along with the mascara as a 'free gift'! ^^

I wonder why the big difference in shade when both are named as #1..? aren't they suppose to be similar shade so we could use them together? Haha.. just a thought..

Isehan Heroine Make Volume Mascara TW299 ~S$13: Its a repackage of the old Heroine Make Mascara, but I'm not sure if they did revise the formula of the mascara? I only own the long lash mascara, not this volume one, so I bought this to try it out! ^^

The different between the 2 mascaras I bought.. Dolly Wink's slightly longer.. and both of them are in Pink! ^_^

My bro also gave me this envie de neuf face & eye masks, he says this mask gives instant results and its sold at S$5 in Singapore, which its only sold at $2+ in Taiwan, so they bought quite alot. Why is it that everything in Taiwan is cheaper?! )#.@_;$&@#'$xyz,! \\(<_<)

With help from Ah ru, I got these cute Mio Piccolo cheek blush! She bought it from Tampines- Century Square, a shop name Nanairo $2 Shop (View shop front). Everything in there is only $2!  (Another outlet is at Liang Court, I'm always there but I nv notice the shop! *Blind*)
Infact, Mio Piccolo item are only sold at 105 円 (~S$1.70) in Japan . AC Makeup which is under the same company as Mio Piccolo are also sold at same price, and they are available in Singapore TOO! (Hmm.. Where did I spot AC Makeup..? Guardian? Or John Little?) So be careful not to spend more than $2 buying Yoridori Do Best cosmetics! ^_^
Mio Piccolo Animal Cheek Blush #01 (Pink) S$2
Mio Piccolo Animal Cheek Blush #02 (Peach) S$2
Mio Piccolo Flower Cheek Blush #02 (Rose) S$2


Mio Piccolo Swatches

Currently I'm using Peach Blush, it's quite pigmented and the shade's very pretty! ^^

Review of SANYO eneloop mobile booster
Last but not least, I bought something to POWER UP!!! *holds Eneloop Mobile Booster straight up high in the sky*
Everytime my iphone gone dead, I frantically looked around for people who has a portable charger or I will shamelessly walk into apple shop and charge my iphone (//U_U//)
And sooooo to combat this problem, I decided to purchase SANYO eneloop mobile booster from Challenger @ $89.90 with 10% discount (Challenger member).
I own 4 eneloop AA batteries and I them very much, that I introduced it to friends and they bought it too! ^_^ Its said that the batteries doesn't deplete much even if left unused for a year. It only loses 15% of its initial charge in compare to conventional rechargeable batteries they lose more, usually 35%.
For this mobile booster, I had charged up the battery for more than the indicated 7 hours. And the battery could charge my iphone up to full 100% bar, 3 times! (before it went dead.. keke~)
How's that for a mobile booster?! \^o^/ *~*~ *throws confetti*
I hope this could also charge up tablets as well, cos that would be my next multi-media stuff to buy!

So what are your recent purchases? ^.^v?

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

I am not in anyway affiliated to Isehan, KOJI, Dolly Wink, Mio Piccolo, Yoridori Do Best or SANYO.
