Daily Dressup Shots

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! (●♡●)

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

~ 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! (●♡●)

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.)

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 <∆<"

And so.. that's about much for my first overseas trip to a cosplay event ^_^ Perhaps, the next time would be Japan! Looking forward to it!

CLEO Magazine giving out b.liv free masks! Woots! ^^ (Mimi, why you look so sian eh???)
Mini review of b.liv Fine Line Stoppage Mask
I find these masks very different from all the other ones which I often use. The paper mask material is wayyyyy smoother and silkier. There is excessive serum too that I could even spread them to both my hands and legs. Even if I put on the mask for more than 20 mins (actually I had it on for longer than half hour..cos I was lazy to remove it =p~) I find that the serum is still trapped between my skin and the mask and it felt wet. It didn't evaporate that fast as like my other masks, which is good becos if I forget to remove it, at least my face will not turn dry for having the mask on too long. After removing the mask, I tried to massage face with slightly wet hands and my skin doesn't feel slimy. I feel that the serum have fully absorbed to my skin leaving no trace of leftovers on the surface. Wherelse for other masks, I could still feel a thick layer of serum on skin surface and I'l need to massage it with slight wet hands to get it fully absorbed into my skin.
And now, to review what are these b.liv masks: CLICK HERE & HERE
They are the NEW Original JAPAN Silk Masks! (THAT explains why its silky smooth!)
I think when you buy any b.liv item, you will be given 1 mask free. I'm not sure if this apply to Singapore, as the promotion seems to come from Malaysia. o_O"
However for Singapore, I see that there is a Value Pack where they also give free Japan Silk Mask.

My younger bro helped me to CP some stuffs back from BKK! I do not know the pricing as he didn't tell me how much they cost... hahax~
BOOTS No7 was having promotion, Buy 2 get 1 free! Initially I said I just wanted the Beauty Serum one.. (>w<")
No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Day Cream
No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Eye Cream
No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum
*Does anyone know whats the difference between the pump bottle & the tube one? And whether there's difference between the intense and the one without?

Thanks to someone, I got influenced to get these stuffs too.. *strangles Charmaine* XD~~
Charmaine said that Beauty Buffet also sells this VERY NICE GINO McCRAY palette e/s, but I couldn't find thepic online so I just randomly ask my bro to pick a few e/s and blush :S
GINO McCRAY Pro Make-up Eyeshadow in #02 Black Charcoal, #12 Golden Brown, #09 Peach Pink
GINO McCRAY Heritage Blusher #06 Lush Raspberry
NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base: OHHhh! MY FIRST NARS! Damn that NARS Orgasm is totally OOS in whole of Thailand! WTH.. =_=

GINO McCRAY Blush Close-up (Top-Natural Sunlight, Bottom-with Flash)
The mini glitters are suppose to look more towards gold than silver, i don't know why it can't be captured by my cam. :\

GINO McCRAY e/s & NARS Close-ups

GINO McCRAY & NARS Swatches
Apparently, with or without NARS e/s base, the intensity of the e/s still look the same. However the feel of swatching it on top of the base and without the base was different. It felt more smoother to apply on and the e/s felt silky with base

Random 3D rings my bro & his gf bought for mi! =D Sho nice!! I love love love it! <3
Both are unique its own way! (Left) 3 rings to be worn as 1 (Right) Looks like many rings combined, but its only 1! kekkex~

To be able to take better pictures at night, I need a new lamp.
And here it is~~ $7.90 Langra Work Lamp from IKEA!!!~ (bulb not included)
Its darn useful! I place it at my vanity, it takes up minimum space. I can even put a round container (contains my cottonpads) right inside the empty space of its base. The lamp head can be flexed up and down, and sideways. I am considering to get another 2 more, 1 for my computer desk, and 1 for photo taking of my stuffs at night. kekex~
*My cat kpo-ing around my lamp.. I switched on the lamp suddenly and he squinted. Then I off it, and I ON it and he squint again! Hahax! FUN! XDDD (animal abuse =p)

Clicky here to see more of my Hauls & mini reviews

Everyday, I'm editing pictures of my hauls.. I think I spent more than 2 weeks to finish them, with some breaks inbetween. And here is the reason why I'd spent so much time editing them!
The stuffs were bought way back from Nov till now. And so much LOTD and OOTD that I didn't get to post.. oh well, guess if I post too much of my faces, ppl will puke.. hahhax!

I'm getting reaaaaalllly lazy, I don't think i'm gonna name every item here, so if you girls are interested in any of them, just ask! ^_^
Clicky the links Pics (why i say links? =-=) to enlarge!

BEAUTY HAULS
Na's recommendation for oily scalp/hair! So i got it the Royal Wind Oil Control Shampoo, with free conditioner at the back~ Not much to comment, it works so-so for me. =)

Ardell Fashion Lashes - 120 Demi: $8.95
Besides Japanese brand lashes, Ardell are also quite popular among the girls in Asia especially China/Taiwan. And most asian girls picked Demi lashes maybe because of their eyeshapes. From Ardell's website, I'm able to find the lashes that suits me by clicking the right category (eg, small eyes, round eyes..)
Their lashes are 100% Human Hair, and that explains why they can only be used a few times. Whats so good about it is that the base of the lashes (the part where it sticks to your lids aka the band) is not made of hard plastic thingy. Its basically transparent glue that holds all the lashes together!
Its soft and fluffy feelin' when I wore them on. ^.^ Likey!!
But no like when I remove them, as the lashes totally flattened out after I put them on table to dry when it was still damp. (Unlike lashes made of plastic!)
The correct method of maintaining it should be, wash/remove adhesive after peeling it off from eyelid, and dry them with towel/tissue immediately(if you do wash them). Air them on table only when the lashes are completely dry, so the curl will remain.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast : $25.90 -20% (I got it on sales, with 2 free samples given! ^_^)
I'm happy that I'd chance upon Lissasioux's La Roche-Posay Cicaplast review and I must say that I got hold of Cicaplast too on the very day I read it. hahax~
With a little Push from Sophia, I confirmed that I actually NEED Cicaplast. =p
I had rashes on my neck and jawlines and at that moment, my skin was in mid of recovery but still got problems of dry flaky skin when I put foundation on.
So Cicaplast helped me on that. Although the oil bumps still pops up once awhile even with Cicaplast, however it didn't get anymore worst than that.
I also applied it a little over my lips and it felt nice. The edge of my lips are not so dried up and wrinkly feelin' like the usual.
Overall, I will say its very good but not till the extend of being my Holy Grail like what it did for the other ladies. ^_^

Shopping @ NEX.. I went there few times with Jessie, Verlyn, Na (everbluec) and also few times alone.. I got addicted shopping there. ^_^"
I really like this Bourjois eyeshadow pot - ombre a paupieres 05 (Light whitish-pink tone): $19 (-20%). I like the swatch on my hands, it gives a very smooth and nice satin & sheer kinda look. But when its on my eyes, I duno why it makes my eyes look ashy. =_= Probably I'm like, too dark for it? Those who bought this too, do comment!~
Finally, I bought 2-way foundations (my Covermark's running out), one refill from Kose:$57 (usual $60, thanks to Jessie's Isetan card) and another from SANA Natural Resource:$38.90 (-20%, no thanks to Na's recommendation =p~)

Repurchasing my Aqua Label White Protect Sunscreen : $26.90 (It helped alot from making my skin dark/ 'chou tar' from running around under hot sun)
Kose Seikisho Mask White: $35 (with free 5 pc mask! Promo @ NEX)

With help from my friend, Amber who always fly Taiwan every year or 2, I managed to get my hands on Naruko (牛爾 Niu Er's brand) and BeautyMaker (Kevin's brand) products. They are to be bought only online as its not available at the retail stores. I heard that its not that easy to purchase online too, like they need a special card or an account or some sort.
The stuffs shown below belongs to mi and Na's.
-BeautyMaker Color Correcting Eyelid Primer, Aqua Eye Concealer, Magic Concealer (Pen type)
-Naruko Rose & Snow Fungus Class Night Eye Gelly (I keep laughing at the 'Gelly' spelling.. LOLxx)
The shade I chose for my concealers are the medium shade (Beige 粉膚/自然膚色)
A small gift of face spray(?), cos i din order this ^_^"

Now for my Favourite part, Concealer swatches!! (Due to some pics were taken during different time of the day, hence the colour differs...)
I like the fact that the magic concealer is as peachy as MAC studio finish NW25, I now use both to conceal my -hopeless- dark circles. ^3^
And for concealing spots on my face, I mixed Aqua eye concealer with MAC C25 concealer.

I really am in love with the night eye 'gelly' (teehee~). Everytime I apply them on my undereyes, it felt so soothing. It has a rather strong smell of rose.. and kinda mix with lavender too? I can't make out what floral scent it is but it really smells great, smells as soothing as it's on my eyes...
Mmmm~ Eyes eating ice-cream~~~

Again, recommended by Na, I bought the KOSE Junkisei Prime Oil Cleansing. As much as she love it, I too love it. LOLx.. Go read her review here!

One of you might find this very familiar... LOLx.. I bought this Revlon lipsticks for 2010 Onsugar BXP gift exchange. And I couldn't stop the urge of getting more peach pinks lipsticks so I bought the same pair for myself too! LOLx..~

Ohhhh~ At last we come to Sleek Hauls! Another of my favourite buys from the last 3 months of non-stop hauling!
I'd ordered the Sleek Blush in Pixie Pink and Rose Gold through Jo's Sleek spree.
When I tried to open up the case, it was so daaaaarrrrnnn hard to open till it requires me to bring a pair of scissors to ply it open. =_= (imagine I had to do that EVERYTIME i wana use it.. PFFTt..)
And so, I did some work on the lock part. Observe DA Master @ Work!!! kekekex.. (When it comes to technical part, i'm quite good too! lolx~)

FASHION HAULS & What not...

I had been urged, psycho-ed, nagged (or watever you call it) to signup a twitter account. Without iphone, I see no point in creating the account and be able to twit only when I'm back home using my PC. So, I spent $500 (call me crazy!) to get my iphone! Just because of twitter? Neh~ just kidding =p

Various Fashion hauls from GMarket, Nichii@NEX, Parco Bugis Junction... I love the white long flare shirt (on the right), bought it for $49.90 (-10%) @ Nichii!

Nothing related to Beauty.. But I love stationeries since young, esp those that I can personalise!..
I was at Popular Bookstore and there was a jap video advert repeatedly playing and replaying on a small screen. I am drawn to almost anything japanese (and korean now.kekex..) and so, I found this little treasure!~ I have a little planner in my bag which I often update due to my busy work schedules and adhoc appointments (so that I wont forget..=_=")
I would like to get some colourful pens which i can use to draw small cartoons on my planner! hohoho~ childish much? =p Japanese girls are childish anyways. kekekex~
Its called the Uni Style Fit Gel Ink Pens, each refill only for $1.75 and Holder for $2.35.

Still! X'mas gift exchange?! How overdue-ed is that? But I still got somemore X'mas gifts uncollected!! *wink wink @ Na*

Eating in Sushi Tei @ NEX

Simple LOTD @ NEX using Loreal Paris HIP Bright Shadow Duo - Bustling (Gold & Brown)

Finally! I've reached the last item of my collective haul~.. This Military khaki green cap : $19 was purchased just few days ago @ City Square. I patron the shop before (Elephant @ Basement - Why is elephant @ basement? Because its too heavy so even if it goes to 10th floor, the ground breaks and it'll fall to the basement. Hahhax!~ I'm just bullxhitting =p~) when City Square just opened and I am loving their caps more, in compare to 77th street's. I think their cap sizes are a little bigger too than 77th St's. (can fit my big head heh)

And that marks the end of my 3 months collective haul... I'm now being a good girl trying not to buy too much things (so far still ok).. Unless I really NEEeeeddd it~ kekekx.. Hwaiting!!

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

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

Yes I love Gold... I love it more if its 24K GOLD. Well who doesn't huh?!!

My biggest lemming so far is Gold Nail Polish. I had been frantically trying to find different types of gold nail polish but I phailed in looking for the right one.
Often disappointed after I bought the gold nail polish and applied them on my nails. Yes they still look nice. But I will think "NO. ITS NOT THIS GOLD!!"

I wanted something that looks like the 24K Gold Bar GOLD. Not glittering, not shimmering, but yes more to Chrome... Shiny, Metallic...
Someone would have told me to melt a REAL gold bar and smack it on my fingers... -_-" I think I would get all my 10 fingers chopped off by some robber or some... guy.

Previously I kept telling Nana that the Gold i like should look matt. She and me went in many beauty stores to check out gold nail polish, but she usually ends up buying more polish than me!  hahhaax..
Somehow I remembered seeing a photo with gold nails, it kinda look matt. I didn't know how to explain the colour in words and I had lost that picture, plus my memory is very bad. =_=" That picture actually made me started off looking for the RIGHT gold nail polish.

Well, this Gold lemming kept me thinking for about past a year now, so I decided to do a search on the net today... I did searched before quite long ago but couldn't find any type of gold nails I liked.
But today, surprisingly, I found something!!
They are called the MINX Nails.
I might be already outdated for half a year or so, but at least now I get to know such things DO exist!!
I am SOOOOooo EXCITED! I want to look for more pictures of these gold nails and smack them all up to my blog!!!

Just LOVE how the nails chrome effect came out in the pictures... its even shinier than the crystals on Lady Gaga's body!

::: Conclusions :::
I think ONLY Minx Nails are the ones that I am looking for all this while..

I couldn't find any such nails then, probably because 1 year ago, Minx nails weren't so popular or had not been even born yet?
During mid 2009, many artistes suddenly start doing Minx Nails and it got so hot! (Though not that hot yet in Singapore..)

I think maybe ...I had been dreaming to be Lady Gaga since 1 year ago...?

Minx Nails = Nail Art. Expensive. Celebrity Trend. Short lifespan. Where can it be seen in Singapore?

I shall try to find a cheaper alternative. Or better still, I become a celebrity. Hahhax...

From Nikkis Nails: http://nikkisnailcreations.blogspot.com/2009/09/w7-golden-pearl.html
Very close to the kind of Gold nail polish I like!!
Since Minx is hard to apply and is expensive, I shall try this w7 nail polish!

Even Shoes goes Minx! (Taken from: http://www.izabel.com.au/category.aspx?id=30)
I'll love to buy this shoes too if I happen to see it in malls!!

::: My Nail Polish :::
Following are the nail polish I owned. They are not alot because I am not a nail person, I only buy it because I wanted GOLD too much... and I am very much affected by someone who is a VERY nail person. ^_^"

NFU (From China/Korea? Bought from nail shop in Far East Plaza) is very yellowish but when it's on my nails, it looks WOW!! Shiny! I had gotten compliments from salesgirls and even random strangers when I am wearing NFU polish. Indeed it attracts quite a bit of attention, however after 2 days or so, the gold glitters kind of falls or fade off. You will need to coat with new layer again to maintain the shininess.
