Daily Dressup Shots

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.)

And we're all set to go for the Comic Fiesta!!!!~ Before we were even there, we knew the Queue was super long (Some Q for 3 HOURS!) because of the overwhelming crowd!!! But thanks to someone *winks*, we get in the event hall in no time! hehhehex~ =p
This is my first time attending a cosplay event overseas and also my first time seeing the event hall filled with rows & rows of doujin booths! OMG!~ Artworks after artworks after artworks~ Lovely! (//^o^//)

Spotted a T-shirt painting artist! Her drawings are so cute! ^^ But I din have time to wait for her to finish painting so I din buy.. =p
And spotted many BJD, dolls and some alien sculptures too! Aren't they talented?! ^^

The Vendors/Sponsors section, selling merchandises of all sorts. And schools that teaches manga drawing/animation. Yuanie & Hoshi having fun posing with Ironman. kekekx~

Cosplay photos I took on Day 1~ Check out the mini Alien!

Oh yes, I almost forgot to show you all how crazy was the crowd at both outside & inside of the event... X_X"

Finally, here shows my Haul from the Doujin booths!
I posted about Nyanpire before and I was excited when I saw Nyanpire at the CF! hohoox~ So i bought it~ ^^

And there we are at the event~ We then saw Xrystal & Sakana~ (right side, respectively).

I do not know which korean character is the lady cosplaying, anyone knows? But it look fantastic! With the hair and everything! And then POKEMON!!! My fav nintendo game when I was young.. lolx~

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 <∆<"

And so.. that's about much for my first overseas trip to a cosplay event ^_^ Perhaps, the next time would be Japan! Looking forward to it!

(Mine is replica, cos the brand name is not same, plus it writes "Made in PRC" hahax^^") My brush should look like one of these? More about YSPark. And read more on Brushes.

OCC Lip Tar vs Sleek Paint Pout
I have OCC Hush & Trollop, both are last year's birthday presents from Na ^^ And now I bought 4 Sleek Paint Pouts namely Cloud 9, Minx, Peachy Keen, Milkshade.
I did swatches of all, and found that OCC is more watery and Sleek feels alot thicker/creamier than OCC. Both are very pigmented and can cover dark lips. I prefer OCC for its smell and that it has this minty taste. But I prefer Sleek for its tip, able to control how much I want to dispense, unlike OCC it always flow a huge amount out and make a mess everywhere.
I did some colour mix with Cloud 9.. And come to think of it, I don't own any mixing palette.. time to get 1!  Any recommendations?^^

OCC Hush vs Sleek Minx
I did a DUPE swatch of OCC Hush vs Sleek Minx, as shown on 2nd pic. I gave up on OCC Trollop vs Sleek Milkshake because I find that they don't really look like dupes at all after I did my first swatch (above pic).
Although both looks pinkish but Sleek Minx has this mild rosy tint while OCC Hush is towards the beige side.

Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Hair Bleach (Before & After pic)
I think I forgot to show my before eyebrow pic..^_^" Anyways, just imagine messy black eyebrow!
The bleaching is so strong that it only took less than 5mins for my eyebrow to turn light brown. When its about time, certain part of my skin starts to sting. Its a warning to say that I'd put for too long, so I immediately wipe the creme off and wash it.
As shown below, I followed instructions, put 5ml of activator with 10ml of bleach. After mixing for sometime, it becomes more than 30ml which I can use it to bleach my eyebrow, finger hair, knee hair & toes hair (lolx~ Why the hell I bleach these areas?! Cos, I find these hair obvious and obscene than my leg hair. =p~) and maybe my armpit hair (if I have XD~)

Shu Uemura vs Shiseido Lash Curler
My Shiseido lash curler recently failed to curl my lashes even after I changed the rubber to a new one. Probably reason why because I been using it for like, more than 5 years? ^^" The metal parts now feels loose. Thus, Shu Uemura now officially replaces Shiseido curler~
Remembering at the beginning, Shiseido was as good as my current Shu Uemura curler. I had changed the rubber for several times already. I guess its really the time for me to let go. *sobx* T^T
Below shows the comparison between the 2. Note the areas that I drew arrows are the places that shows obvious differences.
And I wonder now, where do I buy the rubber for Shu Uemura? I bought Shiseido's from Chinatown, IVY shop. Not sure if they also sell Shu Uemura? o_O Anyone have any idea?

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

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

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! =_=

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

On 30 April, I was invited to Maybelline New York blogger’s party @ SCAPE - A Curious Teepee. Along I went with my buddies - Na & Verlyn.
And they had changed their names on the very day to:
(Muahahhahax~ it's just for fun!)

YES, This post was so long ago! I had to name it 'Long hair version' because I have short hair now... and I had been delaying to post this tutorial.. Too busy and lazy =p

So here is ....

Part 2, a continuation of : miwitch's method: Hair Styling Tutorial Part 1 (Long hair version)

This time, I'm doing a tutorial base on the styles that I often do while I dressup. Apologies for the messy hair as I curled my hair during the Part 1 post.. I took all these pictures within the same night, hence you'll be seeing the familiar tired face. Hhaax~

Don't worry if yours doesn't look exactly like mine as the outcome will always vary~ (Actually, everytime I do my hair, it always come out different even I use the same technique... ^___^"")
Sample of my hairdo on my dress-up days:

And the tutorial...

Sample of my hairdo on my dress-up days:

And the tutorial...

There are many other hairstyles that I did for myself and for others with just 1 curling tong! (一TONG打天下!) Muahhahax~

Following 2 hairstyles, I use the same curling iron to do them.
Difference is that for the 1st picture, I section my hair to 4 or 6 (it can be up to 8 sections), by splitting into up & down rows, then each row split to left, right sections. You can have as many rows as you want.
The more rows, your hair will look neater like in the 1st pic. And to achieve a Hime (Princess) style, you need to curl your hair inwards.

For 2nd pic, I only split my hair to left and right sections (including fringe). I curl my hair both inwards and outwards to make it look rather messy. (It is the effect that I wanted) Using a little wax, I spread it on both hands and grab on the hair ends, slowly rubbing it upwards to near the hair roots (Near, Not ON!)
This will make the hair look spread out, volumnized. Alot, alot of hair spray was used to fix the hairstyle so it won't flatten within that half a day of photo shooting under hot sun.
Note: For 1st pic, I didn't use pre-spray for curls but 2nd pic I did. ^_^ I feel that pre-spray is a protection for your hair, preventing it damaged from over curling and also provides a long lasting curl.

I did all of the girls' hair (except.. I think the 4th from left, as she's using hair extensions) and applied my own styling method to their hairdo. Black hair are so hard to style without a good styling agent. (Like precurl spray or wax...)
At that moment I only have 1 curling iron & 1 hair spray and many bobby pins....

Just to say, I still have long hair in this pic. I use the twist-bun method to make the bun hide underneath my hair. The twist-bun is being bobby pinned at base of my head near the neck area, hence the bottom part will look a little bob.

For this 2 cute long curls, I split my hair into 5 sections (Up, down rows split into left & right sections each row. 1 more row is at the top of my head). Curl the bottom 4 sections inwards and place the curls together as shown, so you get the 2 long curls. Remaining top row, split it to left and right and curl them outwards.

Then pin each side to the sides of head or can be back of the head with nice mini clips. This way, the hair ends extending outwards ontop of my head will make the top part look fluffy and it will appear like I have alot of hair on top as well as below too! (hidden secret!  学老师讲的：有心机哦! =p)

Before I end this tutorial, I would have to say that I do not always have nice hair-dos. Sometimes it just sucks but I still have to go out with it because I didn't have time to make it nicer. Sometimes, it just turns out perfectly nice! ^o^
It all depends on the method you use, you need to practice practice practice just like you would doing your makeup. :) Lazy isn't making you go anywhere! (Pff. I'm basically saying myself. =_=)
And one hair-do sometimes takes 2 days to be completed. (Eg. Previous night, you curl you hair and put on curlers to sleep. Next day, recurl again and style)

Final conclusion: short hair is the simplest to style. Hhahax! XD~
I may in future do some short hair tutorials (since I have super short hair now, it will surely take sometime for it to grow back to the length I always had)

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

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

As promised to some of you girls, here is my own method of hair styling... For the start, I will not teach how to make the hairstyles that I'd done before, but I will in Part 2.. ^_^" (As I think the introduction might be too long, so its better to split them up to 2 post)

Note: You probably be using a different product from what I'm using hence the result might be differ. Its always best to trial and error to come out with all kinds of hair styles, and in a long run, you will be able to learn different techniques to achieve the looks you want.
As for me, I didn't go for any hair styling class, but I always like to play with my hair, sometimes ending up with a funny look (^_^") But the mistakes enables me to learn more.

Before I begin, I like to say that the pictures were taken after midnight. So don't mind my sleepy look (+ my droopy eyeslids...) =_=" .And my hair's kinda start to turn oily so end result is not really up to my expectation.

Ok, here's the introduction to my hairstyling products:
- Bobby pins & U pins from Daiso: They are cheap and very good, comes in different colours to match your hair colour. So they can camouflage themselves, good when you tend to use too many of them to fix your hair.
- Rubberbands from Daiso: Lovely transparent and coloured bands for different hair colours (usually in browns). They are elastic and very durable. I can use 1 band for several times over 2-3 months and they still didn't break.
- Plastic Curlers/Rollers (with metallic wraps within) from Sasa: This is good for curling fringe/bangs and to make your hair look fluffy/voluminous. It can also be used to maintain your curls while you doing your makeup etc..
- Combs: I have few combs that I like to use like the full round combs (sorry I do not know the actual names!), half round wide combs (the one I'm holding) and normal straight ones with long pointed handle (used for separating the hair to sections)
- Ribbons & Hair Ties: Funky, sweet, elegant.. Get more of these for the different styles you wish to achieve
- Stylish Hairclips: Easy to use and holds up your hair well with just 1 clip! I always prefer one that has good holding power but yet not hard to press on. Some of the clips is so hard to press open, the clip ends up flying off my hand even before it opens!
- Hair dryer (Philips) & Hair electric curler/tongs(Watsons): I had these with me for years and they work so well till today! You can get cheap electric products from Little India's Mustafa Centre. My curler is Watsons brand, bought it at cheaper than $20 during sales. Its good to use but its diameter is smaller, hence the curls will not appear to be big and wavy. If you wish to have bigger curls, get one with diameter bigger than 25mm.
- Styling water (liese) & Styling Hair Spray (Rico): Styling water can help to maintain your curls a little longer and moisturize your hair at same time. Hair spray can be used before or after curl/styling. I use Rico hair spray because it is cheap $5+/bottle, good, and big! ^.^" I've used this on real hair and wigs, and the hair really stays in shape for whole day, provided that I sprayed alot as well. Its non-sticky, not oily, will not leave any white residue.

How do I curl my bangs?
2 methods, 1 is using plastic rollers and another is using electric curler. But I prefer rollers, as curlers tend to over-curled my bangs.
1. Wrap your bangs over the roller, starting from the hair ends.
2. Roll the roller inwards and stop it at the top of your forehead, then press the hair to the roller making sure the roller is secured well at that position. Do the same to the sides.
3. Now do the same to the back hair as well.
4. Use your hairdryer to softly blow hot air into the inside of the roller. The metallic wraps within will absorb the heat and transfer it to your hair.
5. Do the same to all the rollers. Blow each rollers for 1-2 minutes
6. The result of my bangs. (In fact, my bangs are not very curled because I didn't even plug in my hair-dryer! So think what will happen to my bangs if I had blown my rollers. The result will surely be better than this!)
Note: You can only roll up certain amount of hair in these rollers. If your hair is thick, you need more than just 1 packet of rollers! Split your hair to left-right, up-down sections first before you roll those babies!

How to remove rollers?
If you rolled up a long, long hair, your roller will get stuck at your head and its so hard to remove them, not even if you rotate the rollers the opposite direction where you rolled in.
So this is the method you should do to remove them: (I'm not good in words so I made a gif to show how to remove them)

Using Electric Hair Curlers:

Using Electric Hair Curlers for your back hair:

Hair types concerned:
Sometimes I'm being called the 109 Hot girl (in mandarin: 一零九辣妹 , name originated from Japan) because my hair is so yellow and so fluffy! I like fluffy hair reason is because I'm born with limp, flat, thin and oily black hair. Its so hard for me to achieve a certain hairstyle I wanted because oily hair cannot be styled.
To style, you need normal-dry hair. Dry hair can stay in shape for whole day, wherelse oily hair will turn back to its original shape in no time!

Some of you who has oily hair like mine (be it oily-very oily), don't worry you can be saved!
You need to use good oil control hair shampoos and STOP using any conditioner or hair serums! Those will make your hair even more oily!
You may wish to dye or bleach your hair (like I do), because dry hair will suck up all your natural sebum produced from your scalp. So when you have dyed hair, you will find that your hair is already naturally moisturized by your scalp and it won't feel dry like other people would. So all you need is to put a little serum or conditioner to the hair ends to prevent split ends, just VERY LITTLE!

Those who have normal hair (not oily, not dry or just VERY little oily/dry), lucky you! But I realize 1 problem for this kind of hair is that they get very stubborn when it comes to hair styling. Even if I use the highest temperature to curl the hair, the hair will return to straight hair within few seconds!
Many hair pins and alot, alot of hair sprays will be needed to shape up the hair. But after an hour or two, the hair will still return back to its original shape!
I can vomit blood when I face this kind of hair. -,_,- It might be different for you girls who have normal hair but I've experienced a few of my friends' hair being so stubborn that I totally gave up on styling their hair! I recommend them to WEAR WIGS.

For dry hair types, I know your worries. Some comes in normal dry hair, and some comes in very fluffy, voluminous dry hair. All I can suggest is to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! For people who are born with very frizzy dry hair, use hair treatments to condition your hair because its more nutritious than conditioners, but still use conditioners everyday and treatments about 1-2 times a week to make your hair smoother and straight. After coming out of shower, use hair serum to moisturize your hair. Do not think that if you have used conditioner, you can skip the serum. Because when water evaporates from your hair, your hair gets even more drier!
Keep the routine of putting on hair serums every time after bath, in a long run your hair will become smooth and silky! Best to put the hair serum on when your hair's about to dry, this way I find that it will lock up the water inside your hair protecting it from drying out.
I've heard from some friends who went for rebonding or soft rebonds saying that the result is very good, especially for frizzy dry hair types. I've seen the results, yes its really nice. But don't think that once you rebond your hair, you can just leave it as it is, skipping your haircare routine.
You will still need to maintain it by doing what I've mentioned above. I personally think that the chemicals that salons use on your hair will damage your hair structure. Although for the time being you will feel your hair is silky and soft, but once your new hair grows out and after few months the chemical lost its efficiency and lastly your hair structure is already spoilt by the chemicals. By then you will suffer from an ultimate DRY HAIR....-DO!

Ok, I shall end with a few preview pics of my past hair-styles... ^_^ More to come on my Hair Styling Tutorial Part 2!

Everything mentioned above are based on my own experience, I am not a professional! You can comment your thoughts here if you think that you have a better suggestion towards haircare/ hairstyling. I welcome all comments and opinions! ^___^

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

JL is having 20% discount storewide and card members have further discounts from 4 May - 6 May (3 days only!) I am lucky this time as I am on OFF from work on 4 May!
The things I bought in JL, total damaged count up to $100.44~ Fieewww~

NUDE Facial Cotton 2packs for $5.90 (After Discount $4): I got 4 packs! 150 cottons per pack, so its 300 cottons for $5.90. =)
NUDE 6pc Facial Puff $4.90 (AD $2): Just to say, NUDE is made in Korea. Their quality are good and prices are acceptable. =3
-Scroll down for other stuffs-

From Daiso, I got all things "About Feet", plus 1 sponge cleaner! I didn't get their facial cottons as I think I'd bought enough of NUDE. XD

Just happened to bumped into my ex-boss, Irene, replenishing her stocks in JL at the Olive Organia's shelves. She burged me to get some of her stuffs so I gotten this Promo pack (last set) since i run out of body scrub so may as well give her some business... =D
Olive Organia Body cleanser + Body Scrub $19.90 Promo: When I opened the box of Scrub, out came this little Body+Hand cream! So cute the packaging♡ ^.^

I remembered reading retail_therapy's blog about Phyto, kinda make me thinking "i should try this brand too!" But I ain't gotten treatment cream, I'd gotten a  shampoo as my Loreal Elsève's finishing soon, plus I think my oily scalp is getting immuned from that shampoo, so its time to change!

Phyto Paris Sebo-Regulating Shampoo $34 (AD $27.20) : The container is stainless steel! Its look somewhat like a water bottle to me. The smell is not really nice, but not stinky too. It kinda freaks me out when I use it cos 1st, the shampoo water spilled out so fast I nearly poured all the content out of the bottle! 2nd, it was brown in colour, makes me think of of bitter chinese medicine. =_="
So ya, the shampoo is WATER, liquid kind, whatever you call it. It is unlike all the drug store shampoos I had used before. This is my first liquid shampoo! (Stamp Chop Sign♧)

Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick $21.90: The salesgirl says there is 20% discount for this lipstick but I realise in my bill, it didn't deduct. So sad =( However I've gotten a free pouch from them! The lipstick I gotten is in PEACH.
I later realised that they have buy 2 and get 1 free promo (Read the booklet but I've forgotten about it!), I went back to JL and salesgirl says I have to void the whole receipt then the counter will rekey all over again. Looking at the long queue, I gave up. :(
Anyone of you going to buy this lipstick at JL, do update whether you gotten any discounts for it?

Swisspers Dual Cosmetic Tips $3.90 (AD $3.12): I've always wanted a pointed cotton buds so here it is! The container is so cute, can still reuse it in future!

Fasio Hyper-stay Mascara (Magne-plus Curl Long) $22.90 (AD $18.32) : I always liked how Fasio makes my lashes look strong, rigid, super waterproof kinda feeling plus how easily I can apply it to my lashes comparing to MMajolica. And my old Fasio mascara had dried up so I decided to get it since there is discount! =3

♠ Somang Clinic HN Color Hair Bleach
Talking about my ex-boss, it kinda of reminds me that I totally forgotten about the Hair Bleach I bought a year ago in my ex-work place.
I was previously working in Surprisesss (Chinatown Market 3rd level), also a sister outlet of IvyCosmetics.
I used Somang Hair Bleach and Hair Dye and I ♡ them so much more than all other hairdyes (like loreal/Revlon/Garnier and the current Liese) but one thing is that its so hard to bleach and dye hair yourself. You will end up with uneven dyed hair. Worst still if you have a long hair.
I usually ask my friend to help me, she's not a hairstylist or whatever but she so darn good in hairdyeing my hair! I always end up with perfect hair colour! =3

One thing special about Somang Hair Dye is that it has a additional Nutrition Oil that need to be added into the dye content. And it provides a rather big tube of hair mask (in yellow colour, name Kerafix) and not to mention it includes gloves too! (I think some don't provide that)

Somang brand is actually under the same company as Beauty Credit. I think Somang is the mainline of that company but the models they use in Somang is repeated in Beauty Credit. Many people bought Somang's products got confused with Beauty Credit and thought that Somang was a copy brand, but infact BC is under Somang.

My ex-boss brought in Somang Hairdye and Bleach 2 yrs ago, but now it was stopped. Hence this 2 box of Somang Hair Bleach might be the last of Somang products in Singapore (XD~) that is if Beauty Credits' not counted in. Each box is sold @ $13.90 only but BC always sell every item for at least $5 more expensive than my ex-boss sells. If I want to use Somang hairdye again, I might have to turn to BC to get it =( Which is so highly priced...

Nevertheless I must plan a day to use up these 2 boxes of bleach! And welcome back my bleached hair again! \^o^/~ I miss you yellow hair!~
