Daily Dressup Shots

It's been a LLLLOOOOOOoooonnnngggg time since I posted my collective haul! I been extremely busy with work and I hardly could find time to sit at home and do a proper haul post. (U_U")
But I do post random haul at my Instagram, so if you would like to see them, find me @ miwitch ^^

It's also been a LONG time since I last purchase anything from GMarket SG, especially fashion related stuffs. ^^"
I had been spending my money sparingly only on cosmetics and beauty products cos I felt that I need to save $ to spend in Japan, until..... recently, I couldn't hold it any longer and I started to splurg my $ on GMarket SG & GMarket Global website. Muahahax..~ =p~
My stupid reason to this crazy splurge is because I want to wear nice clothes to Japan. GMarket also offer better deals and clothes that fits me (because koreans are bigger size than japanese) AND Korean cosmetics are SOOOooooo dirt cheap! Alright, enough of my nonsence, here are my haul for this month. Uh hum... AND MORE TO COME later after this haul post! (>▽<)

Clothes & Bag Haul

Navy Chiffon Blouse (Fsize) $33.90 +$4.90 shipping: From Seller MAKMAKS
Although the items from this seller is alittle bit on the high side, but their quality are GOOOOODDD! I absolutely love this blouse but kinda sad that because I'm of a bigger built (I'm actually a M size), the blouse shoulder width feels slightly tight on me. Other than that, I have no complains :) Oh! And I love that GOLD buttons! Its very pretty!

Frill Trench Coat (F size, Camel) $45 + $4.55: From Seller MAKMAKS
This is my first trench coat I think I'd ever bought. The fabric is of suede-like kind, kinda expected for a trench coat. The sleeves are very long for a F size coat but it suits my long arms (hahax~ =D). Only thing I dislike is that it creases easily. =\ Gosh, I hate ironing clothes =_=

Bally Double Breasted Jacket (66 size) $36 + $4.55: From Seller MAKMAKS
The fabric is great with perfect inner lining, sleeves are long but its a tad loose on me, I picked the largest size cos I'm afraid that the sleeves aren't long enough for me. I love the 2-way button design, it allows me to either button left ontop of right or right on left. It also has an additional button on one of the inner flap too!

Skull pot drawstring bag $17.90 +$7.80 shipping: From seller LULUBAG
I had spotted this bag at a physical store before and they sold it at $39.90. I wanted to buy but realised the material wasn't really worth that price. On spotting this same design bag on GMarket along with good reviews, I decide to purchase it at price of $25.70 inclusive shipping.
Back of my mind tells me not to expect it to be THAT good, but when I receive the bag, I was very happy. :D
Its made of good medium hard material with good quality fabric lining. The seller also include a free matching scarf for the bag I purchased too! Totally ♥ it!

Next I want to introduce this shop name LALU.
The store that I went was at Liang Court, a pretty big shop. Their collections are categorised by shades and colours, each design often have more than 1 colour.

I like the concept of their interior design, which is inspired by the rustic mood of the 80s.

Just saw that LALU is having a moving out sale at Marina Square, sale up to 70%! Ends at 6 May. I hope i got time to drop by there to get some good deals! ^_^

I was looking for skirts and I found 2 which I like at LALU.
Tulip Side Drape Skirt in Black $59
The fabric is really heavy for a skirt but it drapes so nicely and its love at first sight for me. ^^

One of my past OOTD wearing the skirt... sorry it isn't very clear because the black is... very black, the camera couldn't focus well. ^^"

Another LALU skirt, sweet style ^^
Gathered Waist Skirt in Pink $59
Good crepe fabric, heavy and slightly flowy. ^^

RINGS RINGS RINGS

Bought this 2 gothic ♥ at Orchard Central pushcart.
Skull head ring $15
Onyx-like crystal ring $20

Goth Vintage pearl stone ring $3 only! @ SCAPE Flea market ^_^

GMarket Global Simple Walkthrough

I got a few overseas readers asked me where I bought my Korean beauty stuffs (actually they are CP by my friend who went korea ^^v) and I usually recommend them to GMarket SG as some of the sellers in GMarket SG are willing to ship overseas besides Asia.

Around 2009, GMarket Korea started up a GMarket Global site in English. And this year they even have it in Chinese! (via agency)
GMarket Global is different from GMarket SG. Global currency is in US currency and I learnt that they have MUCH MUCH more stuffs than GMarket SG, most of the percentage of the sellers are Koreans while GMarket SG have about 40% (my gauge) of Singaporean sellers.

Since 2007, I had an account with GMarket Korea but I wasn't able to buy anything as I don't understand hangul. (korean language)
I often just go into their site to drool on their pretty stuffs and then get disappointed because I'm unable to purchase anything! (lolx~)
And when they sent me a newsletter in English instead of their usual hangul on January this year, I was happy! (Actually they sent me a english newsletter once in 2009, then they stopped sending me newsletter until 2012, they expanded their business & they sent most of their emails in English)
It means that they have opened their business to worldwide! The system they used is similar to VPOST, with their own warehouse in korea.

These few weeks, I been going on GMarket SG in search of shoes and clothes. I realised one thing. The korean sellers are getting lesser, singaporean sellers getting more, and all the stuffs are getting more expensive! I compared items I bought from last year, the clothes from same seller cost $1-2 more expensive. And the range of collections are so little that I don't feel like buying anymore in GMarket SG.
I then turned to GMarket Global. Immediately, I found many pretty items that I wanted to purchase.
Then I looked for the same thing in GMarket SG, they weren't there. That's to say, the korean sellers stop selling in GMarket SG. They earned more $ in Global because there are more buyers there?
I could foresee Singapore sellers flooding GMarket SG in future leaving only a little % of korean sellers, and business for GMarket SG will drop, resulting in closure of GMarket SG, just like Yahoo auction SG.

Ultimately, GMarket SG offers cheaper shipping fees than in GMarket Global. I wouldn't want GMarket SG to close, that will be too sad for all the shopaholics (like me)!

Anyhoo, lets go on with the walkthrough for GMarket Global ^^

Here, shows the GMarket in English:

Remember to always look at the item weight, make sure the weight of the item is correct. The total weight of your items will determine the shipping charges. (For eg, a iphone cover weighing 0.5kg is WRONG, it should be 0.1kg. If its wrong, then you need to find other sellers that indicate the correct weight)

1. When purchasing for an item, you need to check the box "Please check, if ship to address in Korea". Alfhough you are an overseas buyer, the address that this item is going to send to, is a Korea address (GMarket Warehouse).
2. Click the first drop-down menu (Size)
3. Click the second drop-down menu (Item)

The item drop-down menu looks like this:

1. After selecting the item, an overall pricing will appear below.
2. Click the Coupon box to get discounts.

Use your discount coupon if you have them. And click APPLY.

1. Once item chosen and discount coupon applied, click ADD TO CART
2. It will bring you to your shopping cart
3. Item is automatically listed under Domestic category, you need to move it to Overseas

1. After moving it over, double check all the item weight and prices
2. You should only be charge once for the local (korea) Delivery fee. If you buy from 2 sellers, you will be charged twice.

Scroll down to the bottom, you will find overall price calculation.
1. Select your country and it will automatically calculate the delivery fee to your country BASE on the item weight.
Here, I have total of 1kg items. The shipping fees is base on this the SHIPPING CHARGE TABLE (<- click to see)
Currently, they are having a 3%~50% discount on shipping fees, the heavier the parcel is, the more discounts you get.
2. Click "Place an Order"

1. Input your details and address
2. Type in notes under the list of items if you wish the seller to take note of something

At bottom of page, you will see another final calculation of your items and shipping charges.
1. Input your bank card details
2. Click "PAY"
And viola! You had finished shopping!

As GMarket Global is using EMS (Door-to-door service), I believe it would reach Singapore in short period of time. If the local (korea) mailing takes 3 days, EMS another 3-5 working days, then you should be able to get your stuffs within 2 weeks. ^^
I couldn't really comment any further since I had not finalised my own purchases yet in GMarket Global! =p

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

I am not in anyway affiliated to LALU, GMarket SG & GMarket Global

OCC Lip Tar vs Sleek Paint Pout
I have OCC Hush & Trollop, both are last year's birthday presents from Na ^^ And now I bought 4 Sleek Paint Pouts namely Cloud 9, Minx, Peachy Keen, Milkshade.
I did swatches of all, and found that OCC is more watery and Sleek feels alot thicker/creamier than OCC. Both are very pigmented and can cover dark lips. I prefer OCC for its smell and that it has this minty taste. But I prefer Sleek for its tip, able to control how much I want to dispense, unlike OCC it always flow a huge amount out and make a mess everywhere.
I did some colour mix with Cloud 9.. And come to think of it, I don't own any mixing palette.. time to get 1!  Any recommendations?^^

OCC Hush vs Sleek Minx
I did a DUPE swatch of OCC Hush vs Sleek Minx, as shown on 2nd pic. I gave up on OCC Trollop vs Sleek Milkshake because I find that they don't really look like dupes at all after I did my first swatch (above pic).
Although both looks pinkish but Sleek Minx has this mild rosy tint while OCC Hush is towards the beige side.

Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Hair Bleach (Before & After pic)
I think I forgot to show my before eyebrow pic..^_^" Anyways, just imagine messy black eyebrow!
The bleaching is so strong that it only took less than 5mins for my eyebrow to turn light brown. When its about time, certain part of my skin starts to sting. Its a warning to say that I'd put for too long, so I immediately wipe the creme off and wash it.
As shown below, I followed instructions, put 5ml of activator with 10ml of bleach. After mixing for sometime, it becomes more than 30ml which I can use it to bleach my eyebrow, finger hair, knee hair & toes hair (lolx~ Why the hell I bleach these areas?! Cos, I find these hair obvious and obscene than my leg hair. =p~) and maybe my armpit hair (if I have XD~)

Shu Uemura vs Shiseido Lash Curler
My Shiseido lash curler recently failed to curl my lashes even after I changed the rubber to a new one. Probably reason why because I been using it for like, more than 5 years? ^^" The metal parts now feels loose. Thus, Shu Uemura now officially replaces Shiseido curler~
Remembering at the beginning, Shiseido was as good as my current Shu Uemura curler. I had changed the rubber for several times already. I guess its really the time for me to let go. *sobx* T^T
Below shows the comparison between the 2. Note the areas that I drew arrows are the places that shows obvious differences.
And I wonder now, where do I buy the rubber for Shu Uemura? I bought Shiseido's from Chinatown, IVY shop. Not sure if they also sell Shu Uemura? o_O Anyone have any idea?

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

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

SHARE this exclusive event with your friends to get an entry too!

Few days ago, I was packing up my room and I took out a box of hosiery from my wardrobe. And stuffs started to drop out from the box one by one when I'm pulling it out...
I don't know what to say to myself when I see this box packed full of tights, stockings and what not... I never did try to fold them and layer them nicely into the box cos there are just too many! -_-" Everytime I just chuck them into the box, only to realise later, it had became a mountain of... ICE KACHANG! hahahx~

Seeing this, also makes me recall the time when Na & I were discussing about these.... underclothings. We couldn't differentiate what is what, leggings for tights? Stockings for pantyhose?
All this while, I'm not very sure of the correct names used for each type of hosiery. Usually I just give them a general name, pantyhose or stockings. kkkekex.. But I know leggings are those that look almost like pants, just that they are NOT made of pants materials. I seldom call any of these as Tights wherelse Na always name them as tights. Perhaps because she only wear tights? hahax~..
And so, I go about searching for the answer and today I learnt something! (And I hope I won't forget it.. ^_,^")

▓▓▓▓▓ My foundings ▓▓▓▓▓
Pantyhose (known as Tights in the UK) are tight fitting coverings of the body from the waist to the feet. English, tights refers to hosiery that is made of a thicker fabric than pantyhose. Today many people mix them both, so most of the time they can call the same hosiery product tights or pantyhose. Generally, females of all ages wear tights but pantyhose are not usually worn by pre-teens. (Ref: http://hosieree.com/glossary.html)

Leggings - are a type of fitted clothing covering the legs, which can be worn by both men and women. Leggings are sometimes worn fully exposed, and are more traditionally worn partially covered by a garment such as a skirt, a large t-shirt or shorts, or fully covered by an outer garment, such as a full length skirt. Leggings are typically ankle-length, and some are stirrupped or encase the feet. (Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leggings)
Tights vs Leggings (Ref: http://www.madhollywood.com/tights-vs-leggings-theyre-not-the-same.html)

Stocking - is a close-fitting, variously elastic garment covering the foot and lower part of the leg. Stockings vary in color, design and transparency. Stockings can be held up in few ways: A garter belt (AmE), or suspender belt (BrE) & Stay-ups. (Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stocking)

Socks - A sock is an item of clothing worn on the feet. The foot is among the heaviest producers of sweat in the body, as it is able to produce over a pint of perspiration per day. (Ref: here )

Conclusion: Even after learning the names, it still takes me 5 secs to think what name to call them! I always mistake stockings with pantyhose! =_=
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Anyhoo, I need to pack this up and put it back to my wardrobe, so I was thinking to come out with a colour code packing system.

The Coloured and Pattened ones goes together... Below, all of them are Pantyhose/Tights.
Only the bottom row first 2 from left side are knee length socks. Bottom row 1st from right side is high thigh stockings.

The Beige Pantyhose. I seldom wear them, mostly only for cosplay purpose or when I wear shorts & I think my legs are too ugly to be shown to the public.

Grey & Black. Here contains all sorts of hosiery including pantyhose, stockings, thights.
I try not to own too much black hosiery as I been told that I look even skinnier when I wear black stuffs. Well, last time when I was into Lolita & Punk fashion, I have lots of black tights and clothes.. And now, I have more colourful ones that I almost couldn't find any more black stuffs in my wardrobe.. lolx~

Nettings, Web pantyhose, Fishnet pantyhose.. whatever you want to call it.. lolx~ The black nettings has a history behind it.. I own it for 10 years! Its first use was for Aristocrat dress-up ^.^ Oooo~ Memories memories~

Ankle & Mid cuff socks/stockings. I have many more ankle socks that are not displayed here because I wear them too often and they ended up with bullet holes in them. hahax~
These socks here are kept for occasions where I want to look PP - pretty pretty~ ^^

HUMmmmmmm..... And somemore unopened ones!!~ How many legs do I have huh?
Btw, I own about 7 pairs of gradient tights, they are really very unique and nice! ^^ Below pink one is also gradient tights! Shall use it one day...Soon! xD~

PACKED
Okay, basically I didn't show how I packed all these sorted ones into the box. Apparently, I threw out about more than 5 pairs of hosiery (not shown here) and the remaining STILL couldn't fit into that 1 box. I wonder how long it'll take for these hosiery to become an Ice kachang again. hahax.. Shall think of a contigency plan.. maybe some other time! =p~

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

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~

Hmm.. maybe you might wonder why am I not shopping much in GMarket anymore? kekex..
Here is my latest GMarket haul. Just 1 brown pleather bag? Neh.. I bought a black dress and a pair of shoes too! However, the shoes I couldn't wear cos its small (Will try to sell it here after I take pics). And the black long top.. I forgot to take pic ^^"
But anyways, I love the bag most! Its only $14! (not including shipping yet) And the material is rather good too.

Hi all,

remember my post about the Uniqlo Uniqlooks Contest? ^_^ Well, just to tell everyone that I AM SELECTED FOR THE TOP 20 FINALISTS!

Thank you for all those who had voted for me and also, my friends. =D
Most of my friends who went down with me to Orchard for the phototaking, gotten a $50 Uniqlo voucher! Including Ah Ru! ^.^
Actually Jane suppose to be in the Top 20 too but she couldn't make it for that date, hence she withdrawn herself from it, but still gets the $50 voucher~ ^_^

I, on the other hand, am very excited to go for the Grand Finals! =DDD~~ *too excited! Squeals!*
So far, I never really take part in any Fashion dressup contest (wait.. there's once, its a cosplay competition donkey years ago.. hehex~).
This is my interest, I treat it like as if I'm going for a Cosplay event, I took days to research on the items that Uniqlo is providing us, and I spent hours walking around town in search of clothings & accessories to match their item with the help from Di. *Thanks Di very very much! Muacks* \^.^/ I probably had spent way more than the voucher that Uniqlo is giving me. hahhax~ its ok, I'm happy just to shop! =p~

I must say, all the good and the not so good things come altogether within a week which kinda tired me down. I have a super big event (definitely bigger by number, than Uniqlooks Grand Finals) under my care at work which is happening this Saturday and I am super super tied down by this event. But I am still taking leave just for this Grand Finals, I was thinking I'm probably dead by Friday because there'll be so much things for me to do and complete when I'm back in office.
I didn't know Uniqlo Finals would be in July, I thought maybe it will be in August. =_=

Anyhoo, I'm still well prepared for the Grand Finals AND still preparing for my work event. kekekex.. I'm super stress now, but also super Happy ^.^ (Confused feelings)

Right, back to topic.

Uniqlo Uniqlooks Grand Finals is happening on 28 July 2011
The time is 7pm-9.30pm at ION SKY

For those who had your pair of tickets to the Grand Finals, do watch out for me! =D
Those who wish to get tickets, you could try enquiring in Uniqlo Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/uniqlo.sg

I'll end this with something I bought for my Grand Finals dressup ^_^ Its a pretty pic, taken using an iPhone application- Camera Pudding.

I'm not in any way affiliated to Uniqlo nor Uniqlooks contest. I am just 1 of the contestant! ^^

For the past 2 months and July, I spent quite alot on Fashion stuffs and I got many unread magazines! Finally, today I opened up all of them to 'scan' the pages.. *Phew*~ I hope my efforts will be appreciated much~ ^^

GMarket OKIBOX jewelry/accessory
Total of 28 items (I forgot what other 8 items were..Hmm...) ~$100 : The stuffs weren't that great. I find that only Rings and pleather bracelets are the most worth as their quality is much better than the rest of the accessories.
ALDO (Up to 70% SALES! ^_^)
Casal Black Ankle Heels $46.50: CHEAP! It was $155 before~ I'm lacking of many Black stuffs, hence from now on I'm trying to collect black coloured items ^^
Watler Shades (Floral) $29: CUTE isn't it!!!~~~ Great for the summer season!
Herrlin Shades (Black blink blink) $29 : Isn't this shades COOLLLLL!!?!??! XD~ Reminds me of BEAST somehow~

People of Asia Company (POA)
Grey bold cut short skirt $89
Black overlap front Jacket $109

After discounts: $180.20 Great Savings! ^_^

Uniqlo BIG BANG Grey Tee in XL size: $19.90

LovelySpree Haul RANT
I just want to do a short review of the clothes I bought from LovelySpree.
One fine day, I came across their Facebook and I started browsing their site. Then realise that many bloggers bought clothes from them and reviewed saying the stuffs they bought are wonderful. Hence, I think no further and proceed to ordered 3 clothes and 1 belt.
Angelic cowgirl chiffon dress $18.20
Camel Halter $19.90
Pink Mint Imiusa blouse $20.90
Brown Belt $7.90
Total $66.90 spendings with shipping.
When the parcel came and I opened it up. I was SUPER AWED to see that the clothes look SHO AWFUL! I haven't even tried but already know they will look awful is because of the material/fabric used to make these clothings!
I pasted the original pics compare to the clothes I received below. Some of you who can't make out the exact material used just by looking at my pics, would probably think that its almost identical to the advertised item. Yes, the design look similar but the Materials are just..... YUCKS!
I tried the clothes, and find that Angelic cowgirl chiffon dress is made of a rough chiffon (Can even see that the material is not as flowy as the original and crumples easily) plus I couldn't even squeeze through the chestline when wearing it. I managed to get through finally but the dress look alittle akward. The cutting isn't the same as the original. MAYBE I will wear this again when I'm in the mood.
For Camel Halter, the material weren't as what I had expected but it is still consider fine. At least the best among the 3 clothes I bought. However the fabric sheds little residues. The fabric is somewhat like suede and I reckon this cannot be put into washing machine or otherwise it will shed like crazy!
ONE thing that I do not want to even TALK about it is the Pink Mint Imiusa blouse. JUST LOOK at the 2 Comparison photos! THEY ARE NOT THE SAME! The material is so rough and paper-like, totally not flowy at all. The moment I took it out from the wrapping, I immediately relate it to AUNTIE. I shall pass this on to any AUNTIE to wear. SO NOT GOING TO WEAR THIS! And this cost freaking $20+ where I can get this like $5 from some market.
And lastly, the belt. I can buy this from stores at 2 for $5. WASTE MY MONEY buying it, the material is too soft, doesn't feel like its a belt even!
I shall not shop there again. Perhaps for others who love their clothings are the lucky ones who bought the nice clothes or their taste is bad. I'll say that I RATHER spend my $66.90 in GMarket and get 5 times better quality products from them!!! PFFT! You may think what all these fuss about, and I only spent $66.90? Well, I like buying cheap stuffs online and I'm prepare to take risks, usually 1 item of all would be bad but others are all good. But for this, its ALLLLL BAAAAD... I compared with FaireBelle, THEIR stuffs are so much better than LOVELYSPREE, and the prices are similar too!
I actually even tried to apply for writing a review on lovelyspree items, hoping they'll send me something. Now, I just dun wana talk abt them anymore. So much for all the nice reviews. Hmph. =^=
My RANT on LOVELYSPREE shall end here.

Angelic cowgirl chiffon dress

Camel Halter

Pink Mint Imiusa blouse

Brown Belt

NOW, Back to GMarket!
MissKang Tanktops $34.47 (free shipping) for 3 tops
These tanktops collar designs, I believe are handsewn by the lady herself. Simply yet elegant and nice. Fabric wise is good. Worth the money! ^^
ARTBOX Denim big ribbon hair accessory clip-on $7.90: Waiting for my hair to get longer so I can use this! ^^

I saw a blogspot link from the magazine: http://popcultureafternoon.blogspot.com Its super nice! Go click click! ^^

雨女 or あめ　おんあ　or ame onna (literally - Rain girl) is the term given to a person who seems to always bring the rain with her when a picnic or outdoor celebration is planned.
I personally am very fond of clothings and boots designed just for Rainy days. I wonder why the hell my granny didn't buy any cute rain boots for me to wear to school, but instead tied 2 market plastic bags OVER my school shoes and ask me to walk to school, surprising all my classmates with my super dry shoes regardless of the heavy downpour before. ^_^" Wat a funny culture Singapore has!
This my first time seeing someone wearing geek specs with Kimono! But still sho cute! ^_^ Talking about Kimono, we thought of Natsu Matsuri.
This year there will be one happening on 20 August at Japanese Primary School (Changi). Its fun! And super packed too every year! However this year's Natsu clashes with STGCC (Cosplay event) so I reckon many cosplayers will skip Natsu. If you like Japanese culture too just like me, you MUST visit Natsu Matsuri! It will be an eye opening event for you if its your first time! ^_^ BTW, my friend Selphie is performing AKB48's dance. Do watch out for this performance if you are there! =3

Look at the blondy~ Perhaps if I draw my eyebrow black, I will look like her.. kekex..

This swimsuit is super cute!!! =D

How to do eye makeup:
I love all the model's contact lenses. Their lenses do not have this black outer ring printing hence making the iris more natural looking.

GLOW Magazine scans:
I see Sarah, Mag and Sara! (I only can recognise them.. ^^") & DHC foundation... tempts me...~ @_@

Here says bowel habits range from three times a day to three times a week is normal? o_O I tot if I don't have bowel movement at least once a day, that means I have constipation.. hahax~

NUYOU $6.49 with free 1 Loreal OpenEyesPro in Tuquoise palette ^_^
This picture doesn't do justice to the nice swatches! >_<

'The Ah-Lian' OOTD: (quoted by a random Ah-Lian BA from Watsons)
Miss Skeleton long tee: GMarket
Big bronze cross with skeleton: Cineleisure
Navy Blue Black leggins: overseas
Black pleather ankle platform heels: GMarket
Bracelets: GMarket & overseas
Just to explain why the theme 'Ah-Lian'. My friend and I went into Watsons passing by 2 BAs (older age than us) and one of them went something like "Aiyah, just some AH-LIANs LAH!" Saying it out loud just when we walked past them. Reason why probably both of our hair are blonde (mine blonde yellow, my friend's blonde ash)
As usual, I don't pick up fights or arguements with strangers, so I just kept quiet. Seriously thinking those people who give names about others, are meaning to say that they are one themselves. So we got 2 Old ladies who wants to be Ah-lians themselves (But cant) in Ngee Ann city Watsons, jealous of our hair and our dress-up?... kekex.. Watever it is, I dun really care. As long as I like the way I style myself will do ^^

Lastly, my mimi to end the post. ^_^ I did this to him cos I saw a video of a cat's head popping out from a jacket sleeve, its sho cute!! >o<
Anyways mimi hates it. He escaped and punched holes onto my working blouse with his teeth.. kekekex..

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

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

Today, you took out your morning Chinese Newspaper - LianHe Zaobao, do you see something very Yellowish on the front page????
Yap, THAT's ME Alright! hhahx~

I got a SMS from my schoolmate (Thanks Yisun! ^^) to inform me that she saw my pic on the front page, I was like Huh? For wat? What did I do?!
Then I saw a FB post by Linda (Thanks for taking this big head pic~hahax..) and I saw my big face. I was like OMG front?! Not that I want to be haolian- proud ...ok, NOW i'm proud =p~ Because its my FIRST TIME to have my face on front page ok! >_<
Then the first thing that comes to my mind is: I cannot go opposite coffeeshop already!! They all can recognise me! I'm the so far most yellow headed gal in Punggol ah~ ~_~" *paiseh* (Proud & paiseh, confused feelings..)

But now sad thing is that, I DO NOT HAVE THE NEWSPAPER!!!(*%@_%(@_#$ It was sold out by the time I ask my helper to get it from the coffee shop.. Zzz..
Anyhoo, I'm glad at least to know that my workplace has the newspaper and I get to keep that (although its been used many times by public). hahax..

This is what Linda (*muacks for taking such clear pic of it!*) took and posted in my FB. I heart this pic cos my makeup shows up very nice and clear and the strong colours like yellow, purple (specs), blue shows up nicely too!
After which, Amber replied: And your 早报 photo hoh... Waaah!! The “没得到”... Very inauspicious leh... 没得到什么！？
I said the “没得到” is about another article! (I think..) kekex..
Then she said: Ooooh!!! Okok! I was like... What 没得到！？太过分了！没得到也不用登得那么大吧！hehehe!
I LOLed! Super cheeky Amber. XD~

Today, I saw Tokyofashion.com posted a very interesting article about a group of around 100 guys & girls dressed up and did a fashion walk along Harajuku streets. This group of young people who dressed up in colourful clothings, call it the Harajuku Fashion Walk - Spring 2011.

Hereby sharing with all of you about Harajuku fashion, a little history about myself, past Singapore subculture experiences and some of my thoughts on the fashion in singapore. ^^

Ever since I joined the cosplay scene about 10 years ago (does that makes me sound very old? ^_^""), I started to enjoy wearing super weird combi clothings out and have people kinda 'stare' at me or even kids pointing at me with big eyes looking up. Lolx~ Till today, I still enjoys that, however the urge of wearing such colourful pretty costumes or gothic clothes went downhill together with my love of listening to jrock music. (Right now I love KPOP! =p~)
In the past, I wear costumes from home and even dare to wear it back home again at night. Some of my friends who were in costumes too, didn't dare to do that. Well, I totally understand that feeling. At times, I don't want my neighbours or people familiar to see me in such dressups so I'll wear slightly normal and change it at the meetup venue.
To the norms, they will definitely find this weird. Because it takes alot of courage for a person to be that daring. Needless to say, people taking your pics and posting onto STOMP. kekekex~ (well, 10 yrs ago there wasn't even facebook yet ok. =_= So, who cares!~)

LONG STORY AHEAD, CLICKY HERE if you really want to read it! ^^
