L'Oreal Paris EverStrong Deep Replenishing Masque Review
Don't be blaffed by the neon shade here, it only appear super purple because of the lighting... and I'm using the front cam of my Iphone. ^_^" Later in this post, you will get to see more of my LOTD~
OOTD: Rock on!!!
I was debating whether to wear this denim vest or not... Posted this on instagram, twitter & FB and everyone who replied said 'wear it'!
Oh, my purple eyes matches the web/fishnet tights. Thanks to Jerlaine for reminding me to wear PRETTY leggies, and so she kinda reminded me that I have these for a long time but haven't got chance to wear them. Super happy that I can put them on now~ Btw its actually a gift from Na. ^_^
Posted this on my Instagram
LUNA SEA The End of the Dream Asia Tour 2013
Gotta thank these people for bringing cameras and offering to take pics with me otherwise, I won't have any pics of me at the event. hahhax~
Here's me, Xinyi, Kiyora and Kiyora's friend. Credits to xinyi's camera and her bf, Jon.
I'm like a big giant beside them.... (<_<")
And thanks to Kai too for taking pic with me~ Why i look so upset? Cos my hair got centre parting?
I like her tattoo stockings! ♥ Just realised we both wear denim outers. hahax~
And finally inside the concert hall!! I think its fate that my Jrock 'old' friends (not old as in age..) came walking in infront of us. I literally just wave my hands into their face hahhax~
This is the one and only most beautiful picture I took using my iPhone... As can see, I'm at the upper deck. Alot of my friends are at the first level! I'm not a huge HUGE fan of LUNA SEA but I still love them especially Sugizo! ^_^ And I love Ryuichi's vocal~ It makes me tremble~~~
From the upper deck, I can clearly spot less than 10% of the fans are holding their phones/camera up to take pics/videos of Luna Sea when they were performing. When it come to silence moments, there will be more than 30% of the fans holding their phones up. And when they start performing again, all phones are down.
Unlike Kpop concerts (or MAMA which I went to), its like more than 30% of the fans will hold their phones up throughout the concert. I cant even see who is dancing infront of me. All I could see are the artistes through someone else's phone/camera screen. I think Jrock fans truely know how to enjoy a concert, they jump, they shriek, they headbang to every song that Luna Sea plays. I love this kind of crowd... or perhaps, its because we are older? I think most Luna Sea fans are like age 25 and above? lolx~ So we kinda feel tired holding a phone up for too long.. (besides Sebas that is. Lolx~)
After the concert, old friends gathered at Bugis for steamboat x BBQ. No need to say where I am, you can spot me even from another building.
An instagram pic of me and Mimi after the concert~ His pupils sho big!
LOTD with MUFE & Sleek Palettes
Left: MUFE TechniColor palette
Right: Sleek Carribean palette
I headbanged, I sweat, I ate steamboat.. and my hair & face is like this...
Eye makeup featuring the 'Lilac' shade from MUFE TechniColor palette and 'Purple Haze' from Sleek Carribean palette.
I applied Lilac all over my eyelid and then used Purple haze at the crease and outer corner. I need to practice more on shading dark colours as I always have 1 rounded corner and 1 sharp corner. *sigh~*
The MUFE Lilac colour-payoff is really great! When I apply it on my eyes, the colour is exactly how it looks like from the palette. You know when you use light shades, it often appear even lighter than the palette. Or most of the time I think it is until I met MUFE eye shadows. Gota ♥♥♥ them!
Sleek's Purple haze is also pigmented but I find it hard to blend it into MUFE Lilac. I can see obvious lines of the dark purple at my creases. PLUS, I lack the skill in doing such eye makeup properly, so the whole eyelid colour just look kinda uneven. I am sorry to have spoilt all of your eyes for looking at my ugly LOTD... ^__,^"""
To end this post with a CNY mood, I present you red flowers sold by JONES!
One JONES selling CNY decorations not enough, there must be another JONES selling flowers ah?
Event & Swatches: Loreal Paris Shine Caresse lip color

After the event, we had a little souvenir to keep as a memory~
Pictures of Sarah, +Chantana Tan & Mi!
Pictures of all the bloggers at the event~
Shine Carasse
Shine Carasse lip color is also a lip stain, it comes in 8 shades.
600 Venus, 603 Milady, 604 Bella, 605 Eve, 606 Lolita, 702 Juliette, 801 Princess, 900 Pretty Woman
Shine Carasse Packaging & Ingredients
All Shine Carasse ingredients are the same. On the box also shows the manufacturing date.
The content is viewable through the Shine Carasse transparent tube only near the oulet area. So you know how much of Shine Carasse you have left by peeking through the transparent casing.
The applicator has a tiny through hole in the middle, sometimes quite abit of lip color is trapped inside the hole (that is why the hole is not visible in the below pic).
Shine Carasse Swatches
Due to hole in the applicator that traps excess content, I spent a long time building layers of lip color for this swatch. With the applicator, I could not apply a 2nd layer without erasing the 1st one. It was such a headache to intensify the lip colors on my arm. (⌐_⌐")

Shine Carasse Stains
They stain on my arm after leaving them on for more than 5 mins.
Although 702 Juliette & 801 Princess look like red & similar in real life but when look closely, they differ. 702 looks like bright orange-red (instead of the reddish-red) and 801 looks bright orange with a hint of yellow.
Shine Carasse can be used as a lip stain/ base, alone as a lip color or, over the lipstick color to add shine to it and make it last longer.
Loreal Paris is generous in giving their products! I also received their 6 new eyeshadow palettes - Color Riche Less Ombres and Curl Impact Collagene Extreme Resist Mascara!
Where to buy?

Launch: L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise EverStyle (Alcohol-free styling system)
A mini runway in the middle of the room, kinda reminds me of myself walking on one during my hair modeling times. lolx~
The full range of Hair Expertise products displayed.
Singapore, 11 December 2012 – Since its launch two years ago, L’Oréal Paris Hair Expertise has become Singapore’s no. 1 professional hair care brand. Loved by editors worldwide, the hair care label has won hearts and critical praise for its sulfate-free superior formulations, professional results
and luxurious scents.
Today, Hair Expertise unveils a brand new innovative collection that speaks right to the hearts of Singapore’s savvy style-conscious women. Now, who says flawlessly styled locks can’t be achieved outside the salon?
Introducing Hair Expertise EverStyle, the label’s first professional hair styling franchise that gives 24- hour long-lasting hold while providing utmost care to precious tresses.
Style without Harsh Substances
The most sophisticated and costly styling products can give you a perfectly styled coif but your greatest beauty ally is also a fiend, creating havoc on your hair with harsh alcohols that dry out the hair. These drying agents weaken the hair shaft until hair eventually breaks.
But high style shouldn’t have to come at such a high price; women can now get the best of both worlds.
The Hair Expertise Everstyle Alcohol-Free styling system is gentle on scalp and hair, containing no drying alcohols and parabens. What it contains instead is a 100% vegan formula, infused with highperformance styling polymers that shape, sculpt, boost and define without build-up. Plus, products are enhanced with natural botanical extracts such as Orange Peel Oil for an invigorating scentsational experience.

Lastly, the ALL-DAY HOLD look demo using Strong Hold Defining Gel & Strong Hold Styling Spray.
And of course, to achieve certain hairstyle that we want, we can always mix different products altogether.

UNIQLO Uniqlooks Contest: Check me out on 联合早报 (LianHe ZaoBao)~ ^__^v~
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!heh
I LOLed! Super cheeky Amber. XD~
