Daily Dressup Shots

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! =_=

The shade is only a tad darker than my skintone, thus not able to cover my dark circles fully. It can however, brighten up the undereyes if the user has only slight dark circles. For me, I still need to use this top with a concealer.

Everyday, I'm editing pictures of my hauls.. I think I spent more than 2 weeks to finish them, with some breaks inbetween. And here is the reason why I'd spent so much time editing them!
The stuffs were bought way back from Nov till now. And so much LOTD and OOTD that I didn't get to post.. oh well, guess if I post too much of my faces, ppl will puke.. hahhax!

I'm getting reaaaaalllly lazy, I don't think i'm gonna name every item here, so if you girls are interested in any of them, just ask! ^_^

BEAUTY HAULS
Na's recommendation for oily scalp/hair! So i got it the Royal Wind Oil Control Shampoo, with free conditioner at the back~ Not much to comment, it works so-so for me. =)

Ardell Fashion Lashes - 120 Demi: $8.95
Besides Japanese brand lashes, Ardell are also quite popular among the girls in Asia especially China/Taiwan. And most asian girls picked Demi lashes maybe because of their eyeshapes. From Ardell's website, I'm able to find the lashes that suits me by clicking the right category (eg, small eyes, round eyes..)
Their lashes are 100% Human Hair, and that explains why they can only be used a few times. Whats so good about it is that the base of the lashes (the part where it sticks to your lids aka the band) is not made of hard plastic thingy. Its basically transparent glue that holds all the lashes together!
Its soft and fluffy feelin' when I wore them on. ^.^ Likey!!
But no like when I remove them, as the lashes totally flattened out after I put them on table to dry when it was still damp. (Unlike lashes made of plastic!)
The correct method of maintaining it should be, wash/remove adhesive after peeling it off from eyelid, and dry them with towel/tissue immediately(if you do wash them). Air them on table only when the lashes are completely dry, so the curl will remain.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast : $25.90 -20% (I got it on sales, with 2 free samples given! ^_^)
I'm happy that I'd chance upon Lissasioux's La Roche-Posay Cicaplast review and I must say that I got hold of Cicaplast too on the very day I read it. hahax~
With a little Push from Sophia, I confirmed that I actually NEED Cicaplast. =p
I had rashes on my neck and jawlines and at that moment, my skin was in mid of recovery but still got problems of dry flaky skin when I put foundation on.
So Cicaplast helped me on that. Although the oil bumps still pops up once awhile even with Cicaplast, however it didn't get anymore worst than that.
I also applied it a little over my lips and it felt nice. The edge of my lips are not so dried up and wrinkly feelin' like the usual.
Overall, I will say its very good but not till the extend of being my Holy Grail like what it did for the other ladies. ^_^

Shopping @ NEX.. I went there few times with Jessie, Verlyn, Na (everbluec) and also few times alone.. I got addicted shopping there. ^_^"
I really like this Bourjois eyeshadow pot - ombre a paupieres 05 (Light whitish-pink tone): $19 (-20%). I like the swatch on my hands, it gives a very smooth and nice satin & sheer kinda look. But when its on my eyes, I duno why it makes my eyes look ashy. =_= Probably I'm like, too dark for it? Those who bought this too, do comment!~
Finally, I bought 2-way foundations (my Covermark's running out), one refill from Kose:$57 (usual $60, thanks to Jessie's Isetan card) and another from SANA Natural Resource:$38.90 (-20%, no thanks to Na's recommendation =p~)

Repurchasing my Aqua Label White Protect Sunscreen : $26.90 (It helped alot from making my skin dark/ 'chou tar' from running around under hot sun)
Kose Seikisho Mask White: $35 (with free 5 pc mask! Promo @ NEX)

With help from my friend, Amber who always fly Taiwan every year or 2, I managed to get my hands on Naruko (牛爾 Niu Er's brand) and BeautyMaker (Kevin's brand) products. They are to be bought only online as its not available at the retail stores. I heard that its not that easy to purchase online too, like they need a special card or an account or some sort.
The stuffs shown below belongs to mi and Na's.
-BeautyMaker Color Correcting Eyelid Primer, Aqua Eye Concealer, Magic Concealer (Pen type)
-Naruko Rose & Snow Fungus Class Night Eye Gelly (I keep laughing at the 'Gelly' spelling.. LOLxx)
The shade I chose for my concealers are the medium shade (Beige 粉膚/自然膚色)
A small gift of face spray(?), cos i din order this ^_^"

Now for my Favourite part, Concealer swatches!! (Due to some pics were taken during different time of the day, hence the colour differs...)
I like the fact that the magic concealer is as peachy as MAC studio finish NW25, I now use both to conceal my -hopeless- dark circles. ^3^
And for concealing spots on my face, I mixed Aqua eye concealer with MAC C25 concealer.

I really am in love with the night eye 'gelly' (teehee~). Everytime I apply them on my undereyes, it felt so soothing. It has a rather strong smell of rose.. and kinda mix with lavender too? I can't make out what floral scent it is but it really smells great, smells as soothing as it's on my eyes...
Mmmm~ Eyes eating ice-cream~~~

Again, recommended by Na, I bought the KOSE Junkisei Prime Oil Cleansing. As much as she love it, I too love it. LOLx.. Go read her review here!

One of you might find this very familiar... LOLx.. I bought this Revlon lipsticks for 2010 Onsugar BXP gift exchange. And I couldn't stop the urge of getting more peach pinks lipsticks so I bought the same pair for myself too! LOLx..~

Ohhhh~ At last we come to Sleek Hauls! Another of my favourite buys from the last 3 months of non-stop hauling!
I'd ordered the Sleek Blush in Pixie Pink and Rose Gold through Jo's Sleek spree.
When I tried to open up the case, it was so daaaaarrrrnnn hard to open till it requires me to bring a pair of scissors to ply it open. =_= (imagine I had to do that EVERYTIME i wana use it.. PFFTt..)
And so, I did some work on the lock part. Observe DA Master @ Work!!! kekekex.. (When it comes to technical part, i'm quite good too! lolx~)

FASHION HAULS & What not...

I had been urged, psycho-ed, nagged (or watever you call it) to signup a twitter account. Without iphone, I see no point in creating the account and be able to twit only when I'm back home using my PC. So, I spent $500 (call me crazy!) to get my iphone! Just because of twitter? Neh~ just kidding =p

Various Fashion hauls from GMarket, Nichii@NEX, Parco Bugis Junction... I love the white long flare shirt (on the right), bought it for $49.90 (-10%) @ Nichii!

Nothing related to Beauty.. But I love stationeries since young, esp those that I can personalise!..
I was at Popular Bookstore and there was a jap video advert repeatedly playing and replaying on a small screen. I am drawn to almost anything japanese (and korean now.kekex..) and so, I found this little treasure!~ I have a little planner in my bag which I often update due to my busy work schedules and adhoc appointments (so that I wont forget..=_=")
I would like to get some colourful pens which i can use to draw small cartoons on my planner! hohoho~ childish much? =p Japanese girls are childish anyways. kekekex~
Its called the Uni Style Fit Gel Ink Pens, each refill only for $1.75 and Holder for $2.35.

Still! X'mas gift exchange?! How overdue-ed is that? But I still got somemore X'mas gifts uncollected!! *wink wink @ Na*

Eating in Sushi Tei @ NEX

Simple LOTD @ NEX using Loreal Paris HIP Bright Shadow Duo - Bustling (Gold & Brown)

Finally! I've reached the last item of my collective haul~.. This Military khaki green cap : $19 was purchased just few days ago @ City Square. I patron the shop before (Elephant @ Basement - Why is elephant @ basement? Because its too heavy so even if it goes to 10th floor, the ground breaks and it'll fall to the basement. Hahhax!~ I'm just bullxhitting =p~) when City Square just opened and I am loving their caps more, in compare to 77th street's. I think their cap sizes are a little bigger too than 77th St's. (can fit my big head heh)

And that marks the end of my 3 months collective haul... I'm now being a good girl trying not to buy too much things (so far still ok).. Unless I really NEEeeeddd it~ kekekx.. Hwaiting!!

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)
