Daily Dressup Shots

Recently I purchased I.Fairy lens together with friends through youmilens.blogspot.com.

If you had followed me, you might have read about my past few reviews on I.fairy lens. They are so good that I had gotten a few of my friends to buy it too and they simply love it! ^^  And I keep ordering I.fairy lens for my own backups incase I need it for cosplay purpose or just for fun in wearing it.

I.fairy Binky in Violet

Review of the recent I.Fairy Lens:
From this batch of new orders, I started wearing I.Fairy Binky lens in Violet. The moment I place the lens onto my eyes, my eyes felt uncomfortable, unlike last time when I wear them, they are pretty ok. NOT comfortable but just OK. I mean, seriously, who can feel comfortable wearing lenses right? So I usually felt ok with it, but now not with Binky Violet.

I had worn it for several occasions and I kept blinking my eyes (due to slight stinging feel) and my eyes start to tear and became reddish.
I wasn't really sure if the reason were my eyes or the lens because for the past few months, my eyes kept tearing without warning (without any lens). At times i tear like a river non-stop.

I had also stopped using Rohto Eye Drops (for reddish eyes), I wonder would that be the reason why my eyes felt uncomfortable when I wore I.Fairy lens. Infact, I often use Rohto Eye Drops after I wash my face to refresh my eyes, then put on lens before makeup. And that usually stop me from tearing or feeling that my eyes are uncomfortable with the lens on.
At the back of my mind, I kind of blame it on the I.fairy lens because I.fairy had became popular worldwide, I think that the manufacturer had to produce large quantities in shortest amount of time, therefore the quality became bad.

I also ordered Kimchi brand lens, though the brand differs, the girl model for the lens is still the same so I thought the company making Kimchi lens is the same as I.fairy. Hence I felt safe buying it since I loveeeeeeee I.fairy lens. lolx~ I will do a review on Kimchi lens too in future after I'd worn it. ^^

Review of my first ever White Lens:
I got this White lens from hair stylist Dylan who wanted me to wear it for a Hair show.
At first I was really paranoid because from my lousy memory, i remembered that white lens are categorized as Animation lens. And Animation lens comes from the brand GEO.
OMG, I HATE GEOOOOOOOOO!!! I had worn 3 different pairs and I never have any good experience with them. It STINGGGGGG my eyes like a bee.

But then......... When he pass me this ▼ (refer pic), I ponder.. What BRAND is this? The box didn't indicate the brand except for 'Contact Lens' plus some japanese words.

And so I tried it on....... Sorry if I scared you. haha~ (either with the scary eyes or my scary face) :p~

I heard that this box of white lens cost him about $30 (Wow). My I.fairy lens are only $18/pair ^_^"
I researched alittle and found that there is a new brand name Twilight, selling Animation Lens. Did GEO just changed their name or they changed the series name? So confusing.... :\
But this pair of white lens, I must say.... They are COMFORTABLE to wear! \^o^/ I didn't tear, it just felt slightly dry.. luckily I only wore it for less than 6 hours, until the end, my eyes still felt pretty ok with the white lens. ^^
Chinese like to say 一分钱一分货 (Quote from Di: 便宜没好货、好货没便宜) 呵呵~ Translated: You get what you pay for. hahax~

It's (post) Friday the 13th. BOO!!!!

While I'm doing research on lenses I came across this exhibition of CONTACT LENS. Interesting, isn't it? :D

[Pics from www.emptykingdom.com/main/featured/haruka-kojin-contact-lens]
Japanese artist, Haruka Kojin’s installation are ‘contact lenses‘ created in various sizes, with a warped viewpoint. Through the collage of lens, flat pieces and con-caved surfaces are interconnected in varying sizes. This allows the viewers a contorted and flipped viewpoint that changes the experience of space. Haruka is currently being exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

I.fairy & Kimchi lenses are purchased with my own money. I am not affiliated to youmiLENS.

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 <∆<"

Me & my colleagues before the event starts~

The Korean STARS!!!~ I'm only looking at 2NE1, Super Junior, Girls Generation (SNSD) and BEAST! (B2ST)
Though they look small in my pics, but in actual they look pretty near to us! And looks BIG in my eyes! OoO WOoooo~

Overall, I only love it when the bands come onto the stage and perform. Other than that, I'm not enjoying it. :\ Imagine we have to stand 4 hours at 1 spot (literally!) and we couldn't move at all. Plus i hate it when everyone takes out cam to take pics & videos of the stars. I mean, who the hell would look at your blur pics and unsteady videos? The cams and arms are blocking my view even though I'm like 1 head taller than anybody else (most of them infact, which gives me an ultimate advantage especially for standing concerts. Lolx~), so when their arms are up, I had to switch to looking at the big screen. Basket.
If its just taking few pics for like 20 secs, I find its still ok. But NOOOoo, they had to hang their cams in the air for the whole of 3-4 hours! I wish I could like use the lightstick to PIAK at the person's head infront of me to get her bring down her stupid chunky DSLR. Lolx!
Actually, I hit her and her friend few times on the head accidentally cos she keep moving backwards almost leaning on me as she need to bring up her BIG DSLR and I was like "OH YEAH, WOOOO, YAHHHH!!" *Puts hands up, wave lightstick, PIAK her head with arm* XD~
A young girl standing beside me was pretty high too and we both sing along to every of the K-pop songs. (She didn't take pics! Amazed!) I kinda felt there's this weird connection between me and her through-out the whole event. kekex!~ While on other side my colleagues who only know Suju songs, they kept taking pics & vids and shriek when Suju comes up. *Ouch my ears* =_=
Talking about bad concert experience.. This is like my 3rd time? =.= Sigh~ Wat's with all these youngsters???? Perhaps, I'm too old for concerts? >_>"

At end of the event, this tent still open for business. I ♥ the backdrop. It makes the tent look so classic and vintage. Don't you think? ^^

Goodies: A free recycle bag & brownies in stickers of handsome korean male artistes *drools* I mean, DROOLS on brownie. =p
I saw a B!bigo Hot Stone advert on one of the postcard, looks nice! Anyone went before? =D I hope to try it someday! Na, Ah Ru, wana go? kekex~

Oh yes, never end an event without some unexpected souvenirs. hahhax~

Collective Hauls

I did bought lots of stuffs, but I feel that maybe I just show some for today, as I got not much time to do a long post.. ^^" I'll continue my haul post next time!
Castledew Pear-up Eyes: Of the 3, I got myself the white one. The 2 green ones I gave to Na & Ah Ru! ^^ Hope you all like it!

Rachel K Mineral Color Control BB in Neutral $35 (less 30%): Bought it at watsons sales, Suntec outlet. Like finally sales on Rachel K, but to my surprise, no one is at the Rachel K shelf. My luck perhaps? ^^
Uniqlo Bowler Hat in light brown $29.90: So cute! I'm actually saving, refrain from buying anything fashion related stuffs, so I could spend more if I go Japan next year, but this hat is too lovely, I hope to wear this in Japan!~ ^^

L'Oreal Infaillible Eyeshadow #024 Bronze Goddess $14.90
L'Oreal Infaillible Eyeshadow #027 Goldmine $14.90
Had to thanks Na for helping to find these 2 shades during the Buy 2 get 1 free promo (@ Watsons only)

When one mention Bronze, naturally one will think its warm tone. Compare to my other eye look (right side), Bronze Goddess appear to be of a cooler tone, almost towards greenish-grey. The Infaillible eyeshadow has this pretty glitters and gives off a smooth satin sheen when applied.
By the way, it looks much more pigmented if I use finger to apply them. Brushes doesn't pick up the pigments well.

And that's all for my post today~ Thanks all for reading!~ ^^

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

While everyone is enjoying their Halloween night in gore makeup, ghostly costume and taking scary photos at Orchard, I, was sick & working, and I sat silently infront of my computer photoshopping my cosplay pics.... sigh~ What a quiet Halloween for me this year! ~_~"

2 months ago, I had a Solo photoshoot of my Sailor Pluto cosplay. I'd been thinking for quite sometime after last year Dec's Sailor team battle suit cosplay at AFA X to do a solo shoot because I think I always have badly taken photos and had to go through alot of processing inorder for it to look decent to the public eyes... ^_^" So, a solo photoshoot means I'll have more nice pics to keep as memory! =D
Anyways, this solo photoshoot turned out GREAT! Though I expected more like, taking at the rooftop, doing laying down, kneeing, sleeping poses.
But: 1) the rooftop door is locked because of that corpse in water tank issue. -_-" 2) It was drizzling ~_~""" 3) I was terribly slow in dressing up, only started shooting at around 7pm.
Nevertheless, I still end up with nice photos thanks to my beloved photographer friends, Juliana & Valefor. Not forgetting Jane & her hubby and finally Noshuu (my dear Sailor Jupiter) who lend me her tiara (green gem but I PSed to magenta) cos I forgotten where I put mine! Without all of them, this will not be a successful photoshoot! ~\(^o^)/~

Anyhoos, here are the VISUALS! ^____________^v~

Juliana have quite nice lighting gadgets that can make my flaws disappear! Lolx~
Below is a Sailor Pluto card I made cos I LOVEEEEeee collecting sailor cards like THESE. Perhaps I could use this pic to make my first coscard? ^^

Clicky the left pic to link to my DeviantArt page.

~~~CLICKY the pictures to ENLARGE!~~~

Sailor Pluto: Pluto Planet Power up.......... Make-up!!!
Left: Taken by Valefor, edited by me. Right: Taken by Juliana (Even with no edits,it's still nice!). This pose is super hard to do, head turning to awkward position and i nearly sprain my neck and waist. =_=

DEAD SCREAM
This is one that took me many hours to worked on. I had to thank this TUTORIAL for teaching me how to draw anime hair! Pic is taken by Valefor. <--Original pic... hhahax~
I referenced to this pic. Hand position wrong! Hahhaha.. =p
This one taken by Valefor, PSed by him too! I *heart* his PS skills! Its darn good!

Do you want to enter The Space Time Door?
Left: 1st edit.. Turn out not really nice as the door look so cartoon. Right: 2nd edit.. So much better and I added the swirl effect so it looked like the door just appeared! ^.^
Pic taken by Juliana~

Sailor Pluto Portraits
All are taken by Juliana, and edits by her! (I think she did something to my face, cos I see no wrinkles!) She purposely stood ontop of a concrete platform cos she knows I like taking pics from top down! hahax~ XD~

Sailor Pluto Artwork Portrait
Spend some hours today working on this portrait.. I couldn't find a photo with the same pose so I picked an appropriate one from the lot to plant into this artwork. Look at the 2 pics, talking about me being too thin?... the original Sailor Pluto is SKELETON! lolx~
I think I look really stun all the way for this photoshoot.. And if you notice, shadows appeared at below my cheekbones. I think I clenched my teeth too much cos I am afraid to laugh and form laugh lines...

We were later asked to design our mirror with tthe provided materials like ribbons, stickers, beads and other decoratives.
Na, AutumnCandy, Jerlaine & I had so much fun goofing around with the mirror and the mini size Revitalift White Day Cream. Keke~ Those mirrors that has the Revitalift White Day Creams are ours! Try spot them in the below pic! ^^
As Jiaqi & Jiayi's mirrors aren't ready yet, so I took a seperate picture of theirs while they are still doing it. =p~

Close-up of my very messy Mirror curtain design. By the way, I want to complain that the glue we used was totally useless, it don't stick at all! No glue can win over Cosplayer's #1 best friend - UHU Glue! hahahax~ They should have UHU next time when they want us to do any Art again at the events. =.=
That's the reason why I didn't bring the mirror back because I know the beads and stuffs will fall off and become a sticky mess if I place it in my bag.. =p
Next to mine, is Na's one.. Many butterflies stickers~

And GUESS WHAT? I won the Mirror design contest! Thanks to Na, AutumnCandy, Jerlaine and 1 more person who voted for my mirror! Can't forget how we discussed to have the L'Oreal White Perfect rotate among us 4 since they helped me to win it!.. kekex.. So crappy but fun! XD~
Nonetheless, thanks to all the ladies that I got to win the prize, I'm loving it right now! ^^

Some pictures taken with my IPhone! Using Camera Pudding application. So dreamy & nice right?! =D

Review of L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White Essence
Texture:
As seen from the pic, it's like white lotion but feels more watery and when spread out, it becomes clear. It takes only a little time for me to spread it out further and get it absorbed into my skin.
Once it gets absorbed, there is only a tiny bit sticky after-feel. It totally ain't greasy at all which gives it a Plus+ point there! ^^

Smell:
No foul smell or anything, smells great for an essence! ^^

Usage:
After applying toner on my face, I apply White Essence. (Both day & night)
I usually will pump 3-4 full pumps onto my palm and spread it all around my face and neck except eyes area.
Lightly massage the essence onto my face in circular motions, concentrating on the scars, wrinkle/fine lines, sagging skin. (Since it can promise to deliver results for all of these problems! ^.^)
After it's absorbed my face and hands have a slight sticky after-feel, then I'll lightly press my hands onto my whole face. After awhile, the sticky feeling will minimise.
A bottle of 30ml White Essence was used up by me within a month! Lolx.. It's not like as if I got a big face or something.. ^_^"
I think 30ml is quite little for essence? Probably 50ml would be just nice! ^.^

My thoughts:
The white essence has got to be my favourite product out of the lot of stuffs I received.
It lightens my scars and doesn't make me break out or give me clog pores. Its moisturing level is just right for my skin, without being overly rich.
It refreshes my tired skin, pumps up the areas that's lacking moisture and firms it.

Review of L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White Day Cream SPF 18
Texture:
Basically it's just like how it looks like from the swatch pic - Thick white cream. (lolx~)
Its thick but non-greasy, hence its harder to blend or spread out than I thought it would! Usually for creams, I would think that they are greasy, so with just a pea size it could spread out to a huge area easily but NOPE, it's totally  different for Revitalift White Day Cream! ^^
After spreading the cream out, it leaves a slight reflective protective moisture film over my skin and a minimal white cast. However the white cast is barely noticeable, instead it looks more like as if its giving me an instant radiant face. (Just like what it says, pearly nice sheen!)

Probably because I have combination skin, it feels fine on the areas that are dry (forehead, below cheeks area). Only T-zone areas appears oily but actually it's just the skin surface looking reflective as I tried to blot but there's nothing there at all! ^^"

Smell:
Same like the White Essence, no foul smell or anything, smells great! ^^

Usage:
After the White Essence, I will apply White Day Cream. (only use during Day time as it contains SPF)
The amount I apply is roughly 50 cents big. Or, I will dot my whole face with the day cream and then using clean fingers to blend it up and outwards all over my face and below chin areas. I do not want to apply excessive cream as I'm always afraid that creams will clog my pores.
I'm careful to NOT apply on my neck as I experienced clog pores before using other products on my neck that results to pimples.. ^_^" If you do not have the same problem as me, perhaps you can consider to use on your neck areas as it provides SPF, it'll help to keep your neck from the UV rays too~

My thoughts:
I'm also loving this White Day Cream because it provides a minimal SPF that could protect me from the UV Rays (if I'm not gonna apply sunblock or makeup).
Secondly, I like the feel of that pearly sheen or film on my skin. It really make me look as if I have a moisturised radiant face that reflects light! Hahax! =D
Lastly, i like the size of the White Day Cream - 50ml. I'm looking into using it for at least 3 months for sure to better show the effects of using it.

BEFORE (left pic) and AFTER (right pic) of skin at my cheek-jaw area
Enlarge the pics by clicking it.
The areas where I grow bumps, black/white heads, scars are highlighted by the arrows on the left pic. Notice how clean my face had become? And notice how my cheeks now reflects light? ^^
*Both pics are taken bare face, no photoshop and haven't applied any skincare.

BEFORE (left pic) and AFTER (right pic)of skin at side of my mouth - laughing line area
I have deep laugh line extending out from corner of my nose down =( (Maybe I shouldn't laugh too much? lolx.. See, I laugh again..)
And I often experience small oil bumps growing ALONG my laugh lines! Then after using my itchy fingers to pick them out, it leaves scars ALONG the lines. Horrible! Making my laugh line look even deeper as if I'd used a eyeliner to draw along my laugh line? (=_=")
After only 2-3 weeks of using Revitalift products, surprisingly the oil bumps stop growing and the scars cleared. Also noticed my saggy skin became firm. ^_^
Significant results! By looking at my skin using my own bare eyes, sometimes I couldn't spot the differences unless pictures were put side by side to compare. (Yap, I'm blind alright to not notice the differences! >o<)
*Both pics are taken bare face, no photoshop and haven't applied any skincare.

Overall Review of L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White Essence & White Day Cream SPF 18
Overall, I feel both products are great, it works well enough being used alone (combi with other brands) but works best when used together! ^^
Its been awhile since I can have fairer, smoother, supple skin and a skin that doesn't oxidise the foundation anymore. Remembering about 2 months ago, I was still frustrated with my face that keeps oxidising any foundation that I put on which causes my face to look really dark & dull.
This time round, I'm so glad my face appeared radiant than before.
Now that I had ran out of White Essence, I would really want to purchase it and continue using it till I see even better results! (If it could give me ^^)
Even though the products are made to combat wrinkles, but I still feel my laugh lines' rather deep. Perhaps my laugh line ain't 1st sign of aging anymore, it should be my 1824093751236 sign of aging! (Since i'm no longer 25 ok...) kekkex..

Short Review of L'Oréal Paris White Perfect Eye Cream
Just a short review of this Vibrating tool (lolx~ =p)..
I'm not using the eye cream much as it contains mica and I personally prefer not to use any skincare with mica during night time. Wherelse, I LOVE its vibrating tool! The massager design is GREAT! Its big, has wide circumference, it's metallic so it feels cold on skin if stored in a cool place. The micro-vibrations feels great too, it soothes my tired eyes when I circle it around them.

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

Last month July, TheSampleStore invited me to the Sunsilk Weather Defense Bloggers event. It was held at Ben & Jerry's @ Heeren.
Why outdoors you say? Because the Sunsilk organising team think that it suits their theme "Weather Proof Your Hair". So they want to know how weather proof OUR hair are (ie, against Summer Sun, wind, etc). hahahax..

The product packaging colour is same as the clear folder and my bag! Turquoise!~ Loving this colour much~

DO YOU KNOW?
Hair increases in length by up to 3% from dry to humid ways.
It reacts in completely unpredictable ways - Curly hair may frizz up and straight hair goes limp.
¾ women get 15% more frizz when it's over 24°C.
UV Rays also cause frizz and severe hair damage.

Now, with RARE INGREDIENTS...
Sunsilk features the ROSE OF JERICHO, a resurrection ingredient that comes to life after months of appearing lifeless!

With this Rare ingredient, Sunsilk's NEW Weather Defense range promises to prevent our hair from:
FRIZZ
FLYAWAY
FLATNESS
*Yeah!* if it could do that to my hair! ^o^v~

Live demo on one of the bloggers' hair.

During Q&A sessions, Shawn answered a few questions that most of them I already knew.
Particularly one question that was asked was something like:
Why do we grow white hair and will plucking white hair makes us grow 3 white hair?
He answered that why we grow white hair even at a young age like now, usually is because of stress level, the environmental issues and your personal daily lifestyle. All in all, it affects your body in someway and it will affect the cells underneath your scalp, therefore affecting the growth & colour pigments of your hair.
Another is cause by genetic (inherited from your parents/grandparents).
And whether or not by plucking 1 white hair will make you grow more white hair, he doesn't know because it's always been a myth and many people still believes it.  For this, I knew the answer. ^_^ (I knew but I didn't share at the event because I was shy to say.. =p~) The answer is NO.

I had a chat with Shawn about white hair during our ice-cream eating time. Lolx..
I told him that I have white hair since 12+, I got it from my parents, (same to my brother too). I didn't do anything to it till I was about 20 and was influenced by someone else who have the exact same problem as me, then I started plucking out all the white hair.
True enough as what I was taught, the white hair got lesser and the whites didn't grew back. And now I have full black hair!! ^^ (If bleached hair doesn't count.. lolx) Reason why plucking your white hair doesn't make it grow more whites because every strand of hair is attached to a follicle (like a pore that grows out hair... lolx~). By plucking 1 hair from that follicle, doesn't split your follicle to 3! Your follicle is still 1 and it can only grow 1 strand of hair! So girls, don't believe this myth and don't be stubborn about it, it can't and it won't grow 3 white hair! =p~
Every time I see any white hair, I'll just pluck them out, (I'll pluck out for my friends too =p~) and now, only once in a bluemoon I will get a few strands of white hair.
As for whether it affects my hair volume, there isn't much changes from the time I was 12 and now. Because all the while, I always have limp oily thin hair with little volume. Perhaps, it did become alittle thinner than last time however I feel that my follicles are still rather strong and healthy, it regrow pretty fast, therefore it also explains why my hair grows long pretty quick too.
I also discussed with Shawn about how the white/grey hair comes about and he agreed with me too. I said that I remembered reading an article many years ago on how a person can get more white/grey hair or faster than anybody else is because of the pigment cells in the roots. When a person age or due to other factors, the pigment cells weakens and it will make your hair loose its black pigments making it look grey or white. If this is cause by age, it doesn't help if you pluck them out.
But if you are young and you have lots of white hair like me in the past, even though you could pluck them (like what I did) but here, I'm advising you not to. Because everyone has different hair regrowth rate. It might take me just a few months for my follicle to regrow new hair but it might take someone else a year or more. So, I do not want anyone of you to hate me after reading this and start plucking your white hair, later found out that you became bald.. lolx~
By the way, ALTHOUGHHhhh scientifically it says that another white hair will grow in its place to replace your plucked white hair since the pigment cell is already dead, but I still prefer to think otherwise. ^^""

Anyways, I already stopped plucking my white hairs for almost half a year now reason because I been bleaching and dyeing my hair! hhahax..
Its no way less harmful than plucking hair but at least its a beauty/fashion icon to own a coloured hair and also, it voluminise my hair too! After dyeing, my hair lost its moisture causing the hair to fluff up to about 1.5 times of its usual thickness, and because my hair's dry, it automatically sucked in all the sebum that my scalp could produce, making my hair look non-oily yet well-moisturised, volumnized, beautifully bleached hair. Hahax! =p~

But of course, I still maintain my hair by doing the neccessary shampooing, conditioning, hair-masking, hair seruming, hair drying DAILY so I won't have crispy fried hair on the next day.

And with that, the Q&A session is over~ Everyone packing up to go for their ice-cream eating =p~

Do I look like a VAMPIRE to you? Hahhax.. I'm wearing a Pink I.Fairy Lens! Beside me is Felicia and Tiffany! ^^
My hair isn't WEATHER Proof! See the frizz? kekex.. I admit, I was lazy, I didn't apply serum on my hair before i went out! =p~

Polaroid: 3 of Us using the given props! =D I like japanese fan~ *cosplay face*

The Ultimate Hair Monster Duo! lolx.. That's Shawn and me! (Seriously, anyone thinks Shawn look like NONO? kekex..)

Shawn showing me his purplish-maroon-pink hair! Super striking colour! Me love~ Wonder how it'll look on me if I were to have blonde with purple hair ends.. Probably, I'll end up with alot of split ends i think. kekex..

And now, meet the expert: TEDDY CHARLES

I was given a full set of Sunsilk Co-creations Weather Defense range products:
- Sunsilk weather defense Shampoo $10.90 (700ml) / $6.70 (350ml)
- Sunsilk weather defense Nourishing Conditioner $6.70 (350ml)
- Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Frizz Control Light Cream $6.90 (120ml)
- Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Shine Serum $8.25 (40ml)

Sunsilk weather defense Shampoo & Sunsilk weather defense Nourishing Conditioner

Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Shine Serum

Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Frizz Control Light Cream

During my daily hairwash routine, I :
- Wet my hair and run it through water thoroughly (to remove the dust and dirt from hair first)
- Use Sunsilk Weather Defense Hair Nourishing Conditioner on my hair ends, then wash off after a minute or 2.
- Use Sunsilk Weather Defense Hair Shampoo on scalp and lather without spreading it to the hair ends (so the ends will still remain nourished by the conditioner)
- Wash off the shampoo
- I usually would choose to use the conditioner (Alternatively, hair mask from other brands) again on hair ends, because I find that the shampoo sometimes washed off the silky smooth feeling that was left on by the conditioner during the first round of conditioning. If you think your hair is not feeling dry after the shampoo step, you can skip this last step.
- Then, comes the haircare time! (refer below)

Here is a video I did using Sunsilk Weather Defense Shield & Frizz Control Light Cream vs Shield & Shine Serum.
Its more like a tutorial or my own step by step hair caring routine, rather than a review of the 2 haircare products. ^^"
Its a 3mins 47secs video, includes some slow-mo and fast-motion parts. lolx..
Watch this video if you:
- Have very / super dry hair with or w/o oily scalp
- Have frizzy hair
- Want to know how & when to apply hair lotion/cream/serum
- Want to know how & when to blow dry your hair
- Wants to know some little tips in making your hair less frizzy, smoother, and volumnize/fluffy hair
*Note: I am an anti-rebond hair person! I dun like straight limpy/rebond hair! lolx.. So dun ask me how to acheive straight rebonded-like hair! >,< I want volume volume volume hair!! FTW~ XD

Pictures taken after the video-ing...
Both sides appear to be almost the same..lolx~ That's because I Hair mask my hair weekly, and its already well nourished.. kekex..

Review of Shampoo & Conditioner:
I like both of them as the shampoo didn't make my scalp itch nor does it makes it feel oily. Even though I have very dry bleached & dyed hair, my scalp is still the oily type and it would itch if I use any shampoo that is too rich for it.
The conditioner however could not provide my hair the right moisturise level, I would still require hair mask roughly 2-3 times a week to make my hair feel smooth and tangle-free. I feel that it could however, provide the right nourishment for those with only slight bleached/dyed hair. Nevertheless, I love the smooth silky feel that this conditioner gives my hair.

Review of Serum & Light Cream:
Serum is rich and its superb for dry hair like mine. As mentioned, I have oily scalp so this serum cannot go anywhere nearer than 5cm from my scalp otherwise it will somehow spread towards my scalp making it oily greasy and then, itch. :\ That, or my whole head will look greasy, and hair will go limp.
Roughly about total of 5 pumps is more than enough for the whole head (exclude roots/scalp area of course!)
Light Cream is really light and when I apply on my hair, it absorb so fast that I hardly got time to spread it out. Therefore in the video, you see me putting on 3 applications of Light Cream.
I actually like both Serum & Light Cream for they have their own pros and cons. Serum makes my hair turn oily quickly if I wear it whole day with sweating, etc.. but its easier to apply on and it immediately makes your hair smooth and silky.
Light Cream doesn't make my hair turn oily, moisturises well but only thing is that I have to apply ALOT more than the serum, which requires a longer time during application.
Last question: Frizzy or not? I would say it requiresh air mask to make it work better. I cannot depend solely just on conditioner and serum/ light cream to achieve non-frizz hair. Cos my whole head might be looking oily and still frizz at the ends! Get it? ;)

HAPPY (belated) NATIONAL DAY!!! ~*~*~*~*\(^.^)/*~*~*~*~

Finally today, I got to do a LOTD (got some spare time after I return home from my early morning work). The idea came to me when I was taking a photo of my current hair colour. My brown dyed hair got so washed out that my colleagues said I look like a girl with old lady hair. Lolx.. I'mma 白发魔女-White hair demon queen. kekekx~ But I prefer to say myself as a 银发巫女-Silver hair witch girl! Got it? miwitch, so I'm a witch! *lame* =p~

Anyhoo, here's a closeup pic of my LOTD. But of course, I do not own a flawless face. I purposely blurred this pic so it won't scare you. Lolx..
I also bring up the contrast and brightness as it was taken in evening where the sun is almost down, and all my pics appeared rather dark. However, I did not PS my hair colour, it was like this when I took it. ^^ Doesn't it look like as if I'm wearing a whitish-silver wig? hehehx..~ Gosh, seeing this, makes me miss cosplaying so much~ T^T"

Enjoy the rest of the pics! ^.^v~

My current hair colour.. My face look pale if I don't put any eyeliner/blush/lippy..

My theme today is "KPOP WANNABE" (kinda like, 4 Minute/ 2NE1?? ^^")
The look's not inspired by any Kpop artistes' individual makeup but inspired by staring at my Carribean Sleek palatte! lolx~
Its been ages since I use bright colours on LOTD and my skills went down the drain as well cos I hadn't been doing alot of eye MU. I only went out once in a blue moon with friends but always ends up with very simple or disastrous eye MU =_="

Brief description of how I do my KPOP WANNABE LOTD:
1. Put eyeshadow highlights below eyebrow, inner corner of eyes, under eye area(near cheek bones) & tip of nose
2. Roughly putting up all the colours I want on my lid, trying to balance both shapes first
3. Add in darker shade of eyeshadow at creaseline (stops half way)
4. Start blending the e/s colours, and add in more layers of e/s when need be
5. Put on false upper eyelashes, then line along tip of lashes thickly and fill up tightline with black eyeliner
6. Draw outer waterline with black eyeliner and then, inner waterline with bright silver liner
7. Put on flase lower eyelashes
8. Add in e/s colours underneath lower lashes to complete the look

I loves drawing black eyeliner around my eyes~ ^_^ It makes my eyes look big & dolly and my whites look whiter!
Below, I find my inner waterline TOO SHINY..

So I went to overlay the silver with a thin black liner. Hmm.... *So which one looks better??? Above pic or below pic?*
An amateur artist at work.. Lolx~ Realise I always have difficulty in balancing the 2 sides and in drawing at creaselines. Blame it on my imbalance double eyelids and eyebrow? BLAH~ But nvm, I have my bangs to hide them. (Play cheat!) hehehx~ But anyways, I promise to keep practising whenever I have time!

KPOP WANNABE Camwhoreeeeeeeeeeeee~~~ Now you can see my pores, cos the pics are not PSed. (O_O")

2nd signature pose founded (besides the bent twees) = GRABS OWN HAIR
--After grabbing hair, I become..---> the VKEI (Visual Kei) WANNABE.. muahahax~

From front, my hair might seem nice & fluffy, but from side view, its rather flat.. I have too little hair! =_=

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!

Before I start, I'm gonna show my recent 2 nerdy specs haul from Far East Plaza Talisman's store. 2 for $10! Talisman's brings in many specs designs and about half of them are made of rather good quality and their frame designs are very universal, meaning that they can suit many different types of face shapes. ^^

I had been following I.Fairy lens website for awhile since last year. An INSTINCT inside me tells me that I.Fiary lens is good and will be alot better than GEO lens. (Duno y?) Another reason that I like them is because the colours are sho sho pretty and vibrant. ♥
Just look at the pictures from Barbie Eye. I'm not sure if the owner of Barbie Eye website is the main distributor or seller, so I judge from the non-watermark and good quality pictures they provides and this tells me that it's the i.Fairy lens official website. =p~

Anyhoo, my friend (Vic: Thanks! ^^) recommended me Pamperdesire (Facebook here), who is base in singapore and hold I.Fairy lens sprees quite frequently. Its currently having a 10% discount. And I.Fairy lens only cost $25/pair which can be used up to half a year once opened.
Immediately, I placed an order with Selphie, each of us get 3 pairs of different colours. With more than 3 pairs of lens, we got free postage as well! Worth! ^_^♥
Our ordered lens series range from the older ones to the newer ones. But sadly, our most favourite Sakura Pink lens are OOS (as its super old series). =( Hence, I changed to Hera Pink and Selphie got Jewel Pink.
Another good thing about it is that they are able to accept orders of 2 different degrees for each side of the lens. ^^
Ah! And before I forget, gota say that the seller, Nellie updates really fast via email & SMSes and provides wonderful customer service! I recommends! ^o^♥

This week, Barbie Eye just upped a few new series - Dolly, Keizen, Moe Moe. They are even newer than my Ash series.. Gosh, I really love their Dolly series! >O<♥ If you're a lens lover, do try I.Fairy lens!

They include free casing for each pair of lens~

Below shows clearer shots of the lens colour and designs. (Mine: Hera Pink, Ash Grey, Kirei Green. Sel's: Jewel Pink, Kirei Brown, Hanabi Red)

LOTD of me wearing Kirei Green lens today ^^. (Notice the ugly watermark?? Sorry, I am super lazy to open up Photoshop program as it lags my comp alot. =_=" Hence using irfanview to resize & watermark, and HENCE, ignore the low quality pics.. lolx~)
Sorry for the blood-shot eyes... Pls bare with me. ^_^" As i'm often like that when I wear any lens, even my acuvue ones...
I must say that this is by far the most 'not-very' irritating', 'not-very' dry lens, (I couldn't say not irritating because it still does a tiny bit...^^") considering my eyes are super sensitive and turns super dry when I'm outdoors/in air-con/didn't sleep enough etc etc.. Gosh, Can i just change a pair of EYES already? urgh.. such troublesome eyes i have..
This is only the first day I wear the lens, for 6 hours my eyes doesn't feel any pain nor irritated, only at the 4th hour, my right len tend to turn rather dry and it moved around when I blink. As usual, my eyes turn red.. but that doesn't count because I know most of you don't have this red eye problem at all. So you can drop that factor if you're considering to get i.Fairy lens. ^_^"
In compare with GEO/Freshlook/Freshkon, I definitely prefer i.Fairy (for now). GEO and the rest makes my eyes painful the moment I put them on. No, I didn't place it wrongly, as I've always checked before putting it on, and even take it out, flip to the other side and put on but still, it pains my eyes. Apparently I just give up on them. ~_~"
Btw, this pic is totally non-edited, taken under warm lighting in my living room, No flash. And YET, the green is rather visible~ Love~♥
