Daily Dressup Shots

I mean, Belated Merry X'mas & Happy New Year! Hahax~ ^^"

I hadn't been blogging since last year (lolx). For past 2 months+ I was very busy with work, going out on my off days and preparing my cosplay stuff (More like resting when I have some spare time as I'm just too tired! lolx~).
Now I got lots of stuffs to write about: my collective haul, my birthday, my trip to KL, X'mas presents! ^o^ And not forgetting reviews! I hadn't been doing it for so long! Pls forgive me *bows* m(_ _")m

Anyhoo, hereby presenting my cosplay, me as 藤乐乐 [Teng Le Le] from 独领风骚 [THE ONE], taken by Data.  This is like my.... 3rd time cosplaying the same character? ^^" I never get bored of doing it cos its considered the least troublesome costume among the rest. And its my first time cosplaying outside of Singapore! Hence I'm very excited about it! XD~
Following 3 photos all taken at Impiana Hotel in KL, Malaysia.Thats the hotel that we stayed during Comic Fiesta 2011 @ KLCC (CF Facebook) (More coverage @ Danny Choo) Its an overall good hotel, I like it ^^, service & food was ok. We only experienced once which the power tripped in the morning and we have to brush teeth in the dark toilet even though its morning lolx~ Cos everyday in KL was cloudy~

My friends Hoshi & Yuanie cosplaying as Vocaloid Rin & Len respectively, and I'm not cosplaying nor am I wearing a wig! kekkex~ I'm their nanny for CF Day 1, accompanying them to the event and taking care of their belongings ^^
More of my OOTD in: miwitch's Instagram & DA
Photo taken by Data, X'mas wishes added by me.

The first Christmas pic I took & PSed: "Rin & Len says Merry Christmas!"

Pics taken at the Comic Fiesta event in KLCC - 17 & 18 Dec 2011

Below shows part of my collective hauls (Since Oct till today) + birthday presents + X'mas presents! Too much to mention one by one.. (^^")
Thanks to Na, Ah Ru, Di, Sel, Nessa, Sophia, Kas, Ashlene & fellow colleagues for the wonderful stuffs you girls got for me! ♥

I still got lots more of lovely stuffs to show (Y I didn't include my KL haul in above pic? *slaps head*), plus, I haven't collect my stuffs from a friend who just went Korea recently! Oh gosh.. I just realised.... too much makeup to handle! =_="
I guess I'll go selective on my haul posting otherwise it'll probably take me 1 year to blog about it, considering the rate of my posts... hahax~
Fighting!! \\(^o^)

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

I recently received a Rohto-Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu series Lip balm from The Sample Store.
Before I begin, hereby showing you a CM of the Mogitate Kajitsu series Lip Balm by KAT-TUN!!! ~KYAAaa~~ ♥ How lovely~~~~ \\(@w@)// *watery puppy eyes*

Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu with Real, Natural Fruit Juice & Honey # 1 Bestselling Lipbalm Brand in Japan

Mogitate Kajitsu is made with Fresh Fruit Juice which contains essential minerals and vitamins that are beneficial to the lips and body. It also contains Honey, which heals and renews the lips. With Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu lip balms, now you can get Real, Natural Fruity Goodness to nourish your lips and make it soft, supple and oh-so-kissable!

The goodness of it: Natural Fruit Juice, Honey, Bee Wax, Squalene, Grape Seed Oil, Vitamin A and E and lastly, it has UV Protection!

Not sure is it my luck? I gotten the Rohto-Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu Lip Balm in Orange and Mango one!!! YEAH! (instead of strawberry or other kinds.. u know i hate anything berries! ^.^")

Review:
- Easy to glide onto lips
- Using the lip balm alone, make the lips look slightly glossy~
- Smells more like orange than mango
- It's good for my daily lip moisturising maintenance
- A tad oily, hence the pigments of my lipstick is not able to grab onto my lips as the lip balm creates a barrier inbetween them. I will need to apply a few times more before my lipstick colour shows up
- I also use this over a lipstick when I feel my lips are rather dry from wearing the lipstick too long, it makes my lipstick looks slightly gloss and makes my lips look softer
- I like to apply lipbalm immediately after my foundation, realise that the white residues appear on my lips as those are some of the foundation accidentally applied onto my lips. Need to tissue off the whole lips before applying the lip balm again.
- I only use this balm for day use before my lipstick or gloss as I have another lip gel that I use at night for intensive lip care purpose
- For very dry crack lips, its advisible to not use this balm over the crack lips, as this is not moisturising enough to soften the dead skin
- I have trouble of turning the product back to its base now, as it got stuck in that same protruding position after my first use. (Frustrating everytime a lipbalm or lipstick does this!) So after I use it, I push the stick against my lips & get the balm back to its base position. hahax~ ^⌂^"

Overall, this is a good lip balm which i will bring along with me anywhere I go. I love using both lip balms and lipsticks as I have dry lips plus pigmented lips. ^_^"
I can have like 1 lipbalm in 1 bag, so I do not need to move around the lip balms from bag to bag! lolx~ >∇<

♥♥♥ Lip Balms, the more the merrier!!! ♥♥♥
Below shoes my moisturised lips with Rohto-Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu Lip Balm (Orange & Mango), top with my Lavshuca lipstick in PK-7!

Should I pose like KAT-TUN, open the cap and sniff it in flowery boy poses... and draw hearts flooding out of the lip balm? kekkex~

The Sample Store recently sent me 2 LipIce Sheer Color for review. At the moment I heard 'LipIce', my eyes brightened up! *DING* (O)_(O)!
I had a few Mentholatum lip products and I'm really loving them all, especially the LipIce Gloss that I own and the Lip Gel~ ^.^

Here, shows the LipIce Sheer Color in Shimmer and Strawberry.
It is said that this LipIce Sheer Color works like a lipstain + lip balm (or lip moisturizer). I went "OOoo! ♥" when I hear 'Lipstain'. =D
However, the moment I see Stawberry, I faints. (Lolx) Because I don't really like using cosmetics with strawberry scent or flavor! (I'm weird eh? ^^") Nevertheless, I still give both a try to see how they feel!

LipIce Sheer Color write-up & Ingredients
Important point for all to know: It contains Effective Anti-oxidant of Vitamin E to soften and protect lips against the harmful environment ^^

To know which LipIce is Shimmer or Strawberry, just look at the bottom of the product where the round sticker will state.

The inside looks totally different! Therefore easier for us to differentiate which is which ^^.

LipIce Sheer Color Shimmer & Strawberry swatches
It looks pinkish on my hand but when I wipe it off with tissue, it obviously shows as magenta rather than pink.

LipIce Sheer Color Shimmer & Strawberry swatches on my lips
I have pigmented dry (dehydrated cos I dun drink enough water ^^") lips, the moment I look at the word Sheer, I'm thinking it can't cover my pigmented lips. But... who knows, it DOES cover up! Moreover, it makes my lips almost hot red.. um, i mean hot magenta.. Lolx~

Review on LipIce Sheer Color Shimmer & Strawberry
- LipIce Sheer Color Lip Moisturizer is slim and slick, really easy to carry around.
- Easy to use, soft & smooth to glide on the lips.
- Sweetly scented with Strawberry flavor
- Upon application, it immediately changes my lip colour to Pinkish-magenta (More to magenta than pink), covers about 70% of my pigmented lips.
- Its moisturising level is better than the normal lip balm as it is a tad oilier. And it appears to look alittle glossy too.
- The only big difference from Shimmer & Strawberry is that Shimmer, obviously has shimmers. ^^" The shimmers are pretty obvious if you look close up and the shimmers stays well even after blotting.
- Lip color stays on for about half a day, requires reapplying after drinking/eating
- Probably the only downside is that after every use, the content must be cleaned off with a tissue, otherwise the area that keep contact with the lips will turn pink too.
- Another downside for me (particularly for pigmented lips ladies), is I find that it doesn't fully cover the pigmented areas. So I would still use a lipstick ontop of this lip moisturizer.
I'm now using Sheer Color in replace of my Lip Stain as it is really easier in application wise. Just turn and apply! ^_^

Besides Shimmer & Strawberry, LipIce Sheer Color is also available in Fragrance Free!
(If you are like me, who doesn't like strawberry, you can choose Sheer Color Fragrance Free lip moisturizer! ^.^v~)

♣♣♣♣♣ Lavshuca Lipstick PK-3 review ♣♣♣♣♣

I bought Lavshuca lipstick during my past Macau-HK trip few months ago, and I had been using this lipstick for the past 2 months with LOTSA ♥♥♥!!!~ Kekkee~
I'll tell you why, in awhile later. ^_^

Here shows the very pretty product design. A translucent maroon with exquisite silver coated motif. It kinda reminds me of something that a magical witch will carry (read too much manga or watch too much anime.. hahhax~)

The colour is a very pretty coral. Somehow the pinkish tone wasn't captured by my camera, it appears to look more like peach in the below pic.

Underneath I'm wearing LipIce Shimmer and top with Lavshuca PK3. Hence it appears to look more pinkish.

I love this Lavshuca lipstick as its very pigmented, it covers 100% of my pigmented lips. The colour is very very pretty, Its creamy and has a slight gloss to it. However like any other lipsticks, its still a little drying after long hours of wearing.

Basically, I'm now dying to try to get all the lippy colours from this range! Anyone going to HK/Taiwan soon? Lolx~

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Rohto-Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu series Lip balms (old version) were long ago endorsed by Kat-tun (Japan boy band). So before I continue my review, I give you girls some 'Ice-cream' to your eyes first! ^o^

Cute aren't they?! ♡^_^♡

As most of you already knew, The Sample Store (rebranded from Fr3b) distributed many newly launched Mentholatum lipbalms to bloggers for review. (If you didn't get, don't kill me! hahax.. =p)

I just can't wait to test them since its rated as "#1 Bestselling Lipbalm Brand in Japan!"
Hence, I will TEST first, before I talk more about them... ^.^ And now..... dadadadadadadadada dum...dum.................

Mentholatum Deep Moist & Mogitate Kajitsu Lip Balm: Put to the Test!
Using Mavala dark plum lipstick, I'll be able to show you girls visibly how my lip-llines & chapped lips look like...... on paper.
Picture speaks a thousand words..... so I'll speak lesser. =X

I'll still go with some explanations (apparently I'm too talkative)
- As can see above, when lipstick is used alone, rather drying and it doesn't fill into my deep lip lines, so imagine if I smile widely.... *Ewwww....* Ok you can stop imagine now. =_="
- Lipstick appear to look evenly distributed to the whole lips when lipbalm is used. 90% of the liplines disappeared & the chapped areas are moisturised.
- I find that Mogitate Kajitsu is easier to glide on than Deep Moist, but its a tad oilier. And it doesn't grab on the pigment of my lipstick well enough.
- Deep Moist though being having a bigger surface, supposely should be easier to wear on, but there's some friction going on between my lips and the balm that makes it hard to glide around. (Maybe my lips are just too wrinkled... (T⌂T") )
- After removing a layer of lipstick, I applied another new layer of lipstick ontop. Resulting a LITTLE more liplines showing on the top and bottom center lips. That's to say, the lipbalm is still able to stay on for sometime even if I have a drink or a meal, or a kiss on someone's cheek. =p

Alrighty! Test's over! *Don't stop here! More interesting stuffs at the bottom!* Now, here's some visuals~

The goodness of the lipbalms:::

Lastly, just to show everyone the few Rohto-Mentholatum Lipcare products that I own...

Conclustion: I now prefer Deep Moist & Mogitate Kajitsu Lip Balm over LipIce balm!!
I love the Deep Moist packaging, and liking the fact that Mogitate Kajitsu has UV protection!
Now I can alternate between both of them depending on the weather and if I'm going to use a lipstick on top. (^▽^)v~
I thank you TheSampleStore for giving me a chance in reviewing the lip balms! Lipbalms are girls' best friends! ^♡^

P/S: While I'm typing this entry, my cat is drooling onto my keyboard... Maybe the fruits look tasty to him..

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Guess what? I've (randomly) took part in youngorgeous' mini game/giveaway. I mean, I've always liked a game or something that I need to use my brain to think. But no one got the right answer in the end..haha..
Anyhoo~ I've randomly (since youngorgeous used random number generator) picked up among the 11 contestants and so I won!

Thank you Youngorgeous! ^_^v~

Laneige!!! I had been wanting to try their products and now I get them for free! ^.^v~

Lippy Hauls (flew in from Taiwan in Kim's luggage bag..kekex..)
I bought these lippy stuffs because I've watched 女人我最大 (About Lips Episode). These were introduced by Kevin 老师. Prices unknown until Kim reveals to me! =p

Clicky the below pic to see the parts I marked Arrows.
Medicated Vitamin Lip Gel has 4 important Nutrients: Vitamin A, B2, C, E
Lipice Color Gloss in Sugar Pink: Mentioned there as High Gloss and transparency, Moisture, 5 shades available, Fruity flavor

The Medicated Vitamin Lip Gel (in Yellow tube which I've bought) is an upgrade version of the below Medicated Lip Gel. (It has only Vitamin E)
It was stated that the original version Medicated Lip Gel was sold over 100,0000 units in Taiwan!~ Woot!
Taken from TW Mentholatum

Previously, I bought a Lipice Fruity in stick form which has SPF 15 Sunscreen protection but I still find it drying after using, so ontop of the lipbalm &/or my lipstick, I use Lipice Color Gloss (the sample version) which came along with Lipice Fruity when I bought it.
I was awed by the mini gloss when I first use it because it felt so moisturizing, so smooth and very watery! The colour might be very sheer but this gloss indeed moisturize my lips for longer hours than any other brands of lipgloss that I've purchased. I LOVE it! =D
No doubt, when I watched the 女人我最大, the MUA also used this gloss on one of the artistes' lips, It look darn pretty! The reflection of the lipgloss is like applying a water shield on your lips! This makes me LOVE it x 2 times!
I do not have perfect lips, hence the effect of applying the gloss on my lips doesn't even look 50% as pretty as that of the artiste. =(((
That is why I am being so hardworking now in taking care of my lips. I always have the tendency of biting chap lips and let it bleed (for the past 20 years!), but now I swear to myself that I will NOT do that anymore! >_< Since few weeks ago, I find my lips had improved alot by moisturizing it everyday in the morning, after I eat, after I wash my face, and before I go to bed.

I just have to emphasize the Lipgloss pics a few times more because it looks pretty stunning with its crystal clear tip! The cap is easily capped on with a simple 'click'.

Accessories Hauls (from Helen @ 50% off)
Black Furry Wool with round studs Hairclip $14.95 (Usual $29.90): I have 1 similar clip but in diff colour, I love this design so decide to get 1 more since its on Sales! =D
Clear stones long necklace $7.45 (Usual $14.90): Its very heavy! I shall pity my neck... U_U"

Ending with a artistic picture of the stones for viewing pleasure!

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)
