Talika Bloggers Event by CozyCot‏ (+REVIEW of Talika Lipocils Expert in 12 days)

I was invited by Cozycot to attend the bloggers event: Talika - Lipocils Expert.

The speaker or rather, the presenter talked about Talika's history and products.
Every time a new slide flashes up on the white screen, every blogger whipped out their cameras to shoot! There are like 10 or more flashes happening at a time when the slides showed up. Hahax!~
After the presentation were done, we head outside for some FOOODDDD~ Yummy! If anyone wants to know, This caterer is CJS, they always make very nice food! =D

After our food and chit-chatting at the corridor, we went in SPA-LON again for some girly fun!

miwitch's REVIEW of Talika Lipocils Expert in 12 days (27 Sept - 8 Oct)

Close-up shots of Lipocils Expert applicator.
I used the sponge tip to go all over the roots of my upper and lower lashes and then brush my lashes in upwards motion (for upper lash only) with the brush.

In order to acheive the best comparisons of the lashes in photos, I took all photos in the same room, same lighting, same method using same camera.
However position of my eye might differ in every pic, the camera don't focus well at times and the photo brightness will be a little different too.
Plus, its EYELASH we're talking here, not a big object like TV or something... That would have been easier to shoot!
I'm sorry but my lashes are thin, not very long and full. So its very hard for me to focus the lashes easily without proper lighting and camera... >_< So this is the best I could provide.

Before you judge the product effectiveness base on my pictures and texts, please note the following:
- I try my best to use Lipocils Expert every Day & Night, but sometimes I forgot to apply either on the day or night but I DID apply it everyday.
- I feel that I have denser and longer lashes on my right eye than my left
- I have very droopy eyelids, which causes the lashes at most outer corner sometimes wandering into my eye, poking it.
- I have almost none (U_U") lower lashes, they are very thin & short and can even be counted using 10 fingers! (or maybe 20..)
- I have super sensitive eyes (super meaning is more than 'very'). Anything that goes into my eyes, I will tear buckets.
- The white part of my eyes are usually pinkish looking on normal days. Anything that hurts or stings my eyes, it will go bloody red.
And hence, I find that I'm rather a good subject for trying out a lash serum, I just hope I wont go BLIND trying out things on my eyes.. +_+"

On with the pics:
I PSed only the white parts as they are too scary looking, and I've sharpened alittle on the lashes for a clearer view.

Here, I try to spot the difference using the photos.
Infact, on the 3rd day (ie, 29 Sept) I already realised that my lashes are thicker!
Everyone like long lashes, but I DO NOT like the lashes at my outer corner of my eyes to be too long cos it will poke my eye sometimes due to my droopy eyelids. =( And then I will tear...

*Sorry for spelling mistake for Curlier (i spelt curvier.. hahax~ =p)

Whether the lashes are curlier than last time, I think they are but verrrrrrrrrrrrry little. I forgotten to take a sideview pic on first day to compare with this. *slaps head*
I have rather stubborn straight thin lashes as like my stubborn straight thin hair, so they are very hard to curl with curlers, I had to press the curler like 20 times in order to get them stay in shape before I apply mascara. Nowadays I find that its much more easier as they will stay at the curled shape for quite long even without putting on mascara!

Lastly and MOST IMPORTANTLY, this Lipocils Expert DOES NOT STING my eyes AT ALL! *YIPPE!!!!!!!!!!*
When I apply it just right at the base or roots of my lashes without the content going into my eye, I feel NOTHING! No sting!
But when the content goes into my eye, it stings verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyy little. I just blinked a few times and then its gone! I might tear a little due to the discomfort the little sting gave, but after awhile its ok. ^_^
I jus LOVE the feeling of no sting in compare to my DHC eyelash serum where it stings even when the gel is like a few mm away from my eyes.

This is only a 12-day efficacy test. We are suppose to come out with a 28-days efficacy test for Lipocils Expert.
I came out with the test earlier cos I haven't got time to post about the bloggers event last month. So, I thought I might as well post a 12 day first as a teaser or something. More like I wanted to know the results myself. =p
Hang on to your pants! I'll be back with the 28-days test review! (^,~)v♥

Shot 20 Mar 2010 , Jap Obsession @ Cathay - Sasa - John Little Hauls - Goodies (Long Post & rant)

Back to my GOLD Nails Obsession!! (This ain't nothing to do with Jap Obsession ok...) Because my pink nails are fading off after few weeks.. so its time to change!
I put on Jordana Coat -> Skin Food -> NFU.Oh -> Jordana coat. TADA! Sorry my cam can never capture the colour correctly in such a dim room..

My FOTD, OOTD, and HOTD (hair of the day?)

When it comes to my OFF Day, I'm very excited! Dressing up is one of my favourite thing to do...Lalalala~

Oooooook. My forehead is never smooth, spots and blemishes here and there.. Conceal conceal conceal... is what I always do. hahhax.. =p
To make my face look shorter and cover my not so nice forehead, I use my bangs to do the work.

Recently just bought a translucent chifon blouse from - http://www.fairebelle.com with Anna as the model!~ Thanks Anna for introducing the site ^_^ (Seems like the site had moved to LJ? Before, it was host on a domain.)
The blouse name is: ALEXANDER WANG INSPIRED BATWING SHEER TOP
I'd always wanted to buy chifon blouse/tops.. at least for current season, I want to wear clothings made of lighter and thinner fabric, so my sweat is easily evaporated~
So loving my cute pink shorts, first time wearing it too after putting into wardrobe like...3 months?! And yeah, you can see my HIGH heels that is so high that I kinda made all my other friends look so short... ^_^"" Ops, my bad...

Jap Obession @ Cathay
Organised by the group of people who organised Street Festival.
On 20th Mar, there were Jrock band performance and a cosplay competition. One of the organiser requested me to find them 5 cosplayers to 'park' them there, like mascots, they need to take pictures with the public. So here goes my 5 friends whom I troubled.. (Because I was too busy and tired so I had to skipped this offer! :( )

Thanks you guys for helping out for the event!! *Muacks!* (Kie's drawings on costume is absolutely stunning.. Just like the originals OMG... Kie: Have u actually finished the drawings? I can't even realise it from this pic...)
Cosplayed Characters From left to right: Hizaki from Versailles . Kyo from Dir en grey . Chii pair from Chobits

Taken with my cell phone... And what the F*** is going on with my last picture.. Some 'six sense' going on?!
Cosplayed Character by Selphie: Yuuki Cross from Vampire Knights

There's this booth which take pictures for FREE! They print the photos out from a Selphy. I tease Selphie about her name being same with the printing gadget.. XD
Selphy was not bad! The photos actually are not THAT orange in the originals,it's because I took these pics with my cam under orange lights..
All our faces are so FLAWLESS in the pics! Me like!
Note: I'm not pointing middle finger in the last pic yah.. Its my index finger hidden among my hair!

Shopping @ Cathay

After all the talking and watching of performances, I moved on to shop around Cathay while waiting for Nana. And see what I found! $5 for a piece of bracelet, great buy!
At first I dare not ask for price seeing that this thingy is so interesting, I was thinking 1 might be for $20?
A necklace I bought was $15. Big chunky and in fashion (at least for now) necklace but at a price rather reasonable!

Rightttt.. my fingers are too slim for this thing to be worn as a ring! Check out more pics from everbluec!

Shopping @ Plaza Sing

After having dinner with na, we went to Sasa and John Little.
I've gotten:
Suisse Oxy Water Spray - for just $19.90 @ Sasa! At least I find that this is a bigger bottle than Evian, and its famous for its skincare product so its worth to buy!
(I asked Sasa BA for Beauty Formula's Cooling Spray but she say it's no longer available! OTL||| My heart sunk...)
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer (No. 52) - $19.90 less 20% @ John Little. Was influence by someone (u know who) and gotten this as well.. But afraid now that the colour doesn't suit me because I realised it actually has shade 53, but John Little wasn't selling that shade! Should have restricted myself from buying somethings that I didn't intend to buy! *slaps own hands*
EP e/s Quad - Na helped to buy for me, haven't swatch yet as the e/s are so pretty to look at..
LA Colors e/s palette - Goody from Na (Isit meant for the Gold makeup competition? hehehex...)

On 21st, I was at an event.. I stood under darn hot sunlight from 8am - 12pm and see what happened!?!?! (Refer to arrows)
I nearly faint because it was soooo hot and I'm working too hard as well. I used Suisse Spray to try to moisturise my face, it did moisturise but it didn't help to cool my temperate as like the Cooling Water(by Beauty Formula) I often used.
So now my face (although put on sunblock) has darken by 1 tone, but my body has darkened by 2-3 tones! Stupid sun. stupid event.
I just hope I wont get more pigmentations on my body and face... and LUCKY i didn't faint... Otherwise it sured to be aired in the news on the next day with Prime Minister carrying me to the ambulance van. XD~

Biggest lemming: Gold Gold Gold Nails (Conclusion: Minx)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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