Daily Dressup Shots

It's been a LLLLOOOOOOoooonnnngggg time since I posted my collective haul! I been extremely busy with work and I hardly could find time to sit at home and do a proper haul post. (U_U")
But I do post random haul at my Instagram, so if you would like to see them, find me @ miwitch ^^

It's also been a LONG time since I last purchase anything from GMarket SG, especially fashion related stuffs. ^^"
I had been spending my money sparingly only on cosmetics and beauty products cos I felt that I need to save $ to spend in Japan, until..... recently, I couldn't hold it any longer and I started to splurg my $ on GMarket SG & GMarket Global website. Muahahax..~ =p~
My stupid reason to this crazy splurge is because I want to wear nice clothes to Japan. GMarket also offer better deals and clothes that fits me (because koreans are bigger size than japanese) AND Korean cosmetics are SOOOooooo dirt cheap! Alright, enough of my nonsence, here are my haul for this month. Uh hum... AND MORE TO COME later after this haul post! (>▽<)

Clothes & Bag Haul

Navy Chiffon Blouse (Fsize) $33.90 +$4.90 shipping: From Seller MAKMAKS
Although the items from this seller is alittle bit on the high side, but their quality are GOOOOODDD! I absolutely love this blouse but kinda sad that because I'm of a bigger built (I'm actually a M size), the blouse shoulder width feels slightly tight on me. Other than that, I have no complains :) Oh! And I love that GOLD buttons! Its very pretty!

Frill Trench Coat (F size, Camel) $45 + $4.55: From Seller MAKMAKS
This is my first trench coat I think I'd ever bought. The fabric is of suede-like kind, kinda expected for a trench coat. The sleeves are very long for a F size coat but it suits my long arms (hahax~ =D). Only thing I dislike is that it creases easily. =\ Gosh, I hate ironing clothes =_=

Bally Double Breasted Jacket (66 size) $36 + $4.55: From Seller MAKMAKS
The fabric is great with perfect inner lining, sleeves are long but its a tad loose on me, I picked the largest size cos I'm afraid that the sleeves aren't long enough for me. I love the 2-way button design, it allows me to either button left ontop of right or right on left. It also has an additional button on one of the inner flap too!

Skull pot drawstring bag $17.90 +$7.80 shipping: From seller LULUBAG
I had spotted this bag at a physical store before and they sold it at $39.90. I wanted to buy but realised the material wasn't really worth that price. On spotting this same design bag on GMarket along with good reviews, I decide to purchase it at price of $25.70 inclusive shipping.
Back of my mind tells me not to expect it to be THAT good, but when I receive the bag, I was very happy. :D
Its made of good medium hard material with good quality fabric lining. The seller also include a free matching scarf for the bag I purchased too! Totally ♥ it!

Next I want to introduce this shop name LALU.
The store that I went was at Liang Court, a pretty big shop. Their collections are categorised by shades and colours, each design often have more than 1 colour.

I like the concept of their interior design, which is inspired by the rustic mood of the 80s.

Just saw that LALU is having a moving out sale at Marina Square, sale up to 70%! Ends at 6 May. I hope i got time to drop by there to get some good deals! ^_^

I was looking for skirts and I found 2 which I like at LALU.
Tulip Side Drape Skirt in Black $59
The fabric is really heavy for a skirt but it drapes so nicely and its love at first sight for me. ^^

One of my past OOTD wearing the skirt... sorry it isn't very clear because the black is... very black, the camera couldn't focus well. ^^"

Another LALU skirt, sweet style ^^
Gathered Waist Skirt in Pink $59
Good crepe fabric, heavy and slightly flowy. ^^

RINGS RINGS RINGS

Bought this 2 gothic ♥ at Orchard Central pushcart.
Skull head ring $15
Onyx-like crystal ring $20

Goth Vintage pearl stone ring $3 only! @ SCAPE Flea market ^_^

GMarket Global Simple Walkthrough

I got a few overseas readers asked me where I bought my Korean beauty stuffs (actually they are CP by my friend who went korea ^^v) and I usually recommend them to GMarket SG as some of the sellers in GMarket SG are willing to ship overseas besides Asia.

Around 2009, GMarket Korea started up a GMarket Global site in English. And this year they even have it in Chinese! (via agency)
GMarket Global is different from GMarket SG. Global currency is in US currency and I learnt that they have MUCH MUCH more stuffs than GMarket SG, most of the percentage of the sellers are Koreans while GMarket SG have about 40% (my gauge) of Singaporean sellers.

Since 2007, I had an account with GMarket Korea but I wasn't able to buy anything as I don't understand hangul. (korean language)
I often just go into their site to drool on their pretty stuffs and then get disappointed because I'm unable to purchase anything! (lolx~)
And when they sent me a newsletter in English instead of their usual hangul on January this year, I was happy! (Actually they sent me a english newsletter once in 2009, then they stopped sending me newsletter until 2012, they expanded their business & they sent most of their emails in English)
It means that they have opened their business to worldwide! The system they used is similar to VPOST, with their own warehouse in korea.

These few weeks, I been going on GMarket SG in search of shoes and clothes. I realised one thing. The korean sellers are getting lesser, singaporean sellers getting more, and all the stuffs are getting more expensive! I compared items I bought from last year, the clothes from same seller cost $1-2 more expensive. And the range of collections are so little that I don't feel like buying anymore in GMarket SG.
I then turned to GMarket Global. Immediately, I found many pretty items that I wanted to purchase.
Then I looked for the same thing in GMarket SG, they weren't there. That's to say, the korean sellers stop selling in GMarket SG. They earned more $ in Global because there are more buyers there?
I could foresee Singapore sellers flooding GMarket SG in future leaving only a little % of korean sellers, and business for GMarket SG will drop, resulting in closure of GMarket SG, just like Yahoo auction SG.

Ultimately, GMarket SG offers cheaper shipping fees than in GMarket Global. I wouldn't want GMarket SG to close, that will be too sad for all the shopaholics (like me)!

Anyhoo, lets go on with the walkthrough for GMarket Global ^^

Here, shows the GMarket in English:

Remember to always look at the item weight, make sure the weight of the item is correct. The total weight of your items will determine the shipping charges. (For eg, a iphone cover weighing 0.5kg is WRONG, it should be 0.1kg. If its wrong, then you need to find other sellers that indicate the correct weight)

1. When purchasing for an item, you need to check the box "Please check, if ship to address in Korea". Alfhough you are an overseas buyer, the address that this item is going to send to, is a Korea address (GMarket Warehouse).
2. Click the first drop-down menu (Size)
3. Click the second drop-down menu (Item)

The item drop-down menu looks like this:

1. After selecting the item, an overall pricing will appear below.
2. Click the Coupon box to get discounts.

Use your discount coupon if you have them. And click APPLY.

1. Once item chosen and discount coupon applied, click ADD TO CART
2. It will bring you to your shopping cart
3. Item is automatically listed under Domestic category, you need to move it to Overseas

1. After moving it over, double check all the item weight and prices
2. You should only be charge once for the local (korea) Delivery fee. If you buy from 2 sellers, you will be charged twice.

Scroll down to the bottom, you will find overall price calculation.
1. Select your country and it will automatically calculate the delivery fee to your country BASE on the item weight.
Here, I have total of 1kg items. The shipping fees is base on this the SHIPPING CHARGE TABLE (<- click to see)
Currently, they are having a 3%~50% discount on shipping fees, the heavier the parcel is, the more discounts you get.
2. Click "Place an Order"

1. Input your details and address
2. Type in notes under the list of items if you wish the seller to take note of something

At bottom of page, you will see another final calculation of your items and shipping charges.
1. Input your bank card details
2. Click "PAY"
And viola! You had finished shopping!

As GMarket Global is using EMS (Door-to-door service), I believe it would reach Singapore in short period of time. If the local (korea) mailing takes 3 days, EMS another 3-5 working days, then you should be able to get your stuffs within 2 weeks. ^^
I couldn't really comment any further since I had not finalised my own purchases yet in GMarket Global! =p

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

I am not in anyway affiliated to LALU, GMarket SG & GMarket Global

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.)

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!

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?

CLEO Magazine giving out b.liv free masks! Woots! ^^ (Mimi, why you look so sian eh???)
Mini review of b.liv Fine Line Stoppage Mask
I find these masks very different from all the other ones which I often use. The paper mask material is wayyyyy smoother and silkier. There is excessive serum too that I could even spread them to both my hands and legs. Even if I put on the mask for more than 20 mins (actually I had it on for longer than half hour..cos I was lazy to remove it =p~) I find that the serum is still trapped between my skin and the mask and it felt wet. It didn't evaporate that fast as like my other masks, which is good becos if I forget to remove it, at least my face will not turn dry for having the mask on too long. After removing the mask, I tried to massage face with slightly wet hands and my skin doesn't feel slimy. I feel that the serum have fully absorbed to my skin leaving no trace of leftovers on the surface. Wherelse for other masks, I could still feel a thick layer of serum on skin surface and I'l need to massage it with slight wet hands to get it fully absorbed into my skin.
And now, to review what are these b.liv masks: CLICK HERE & HERE
They are the NEW Original JAPAN Silk Masks! (THAT explains why its silky smooth!)
I think when you buy any b.liv item, you will be given 1 mask free. I'm not sure if this apply to Singapore, as the promotion seems to come from Malaysia. o_O"
However for Singapore, I see that there is a Value Pack where they also give free Japan Silk Mask.

My younger bro helped me to CP some stuffs back from BKK! I do not know the pricing as he didn't tell me how much they cost... hahax~

Thanks to someone, I got influenced to get these stuffs too.. *strangles Charmaine* XD~~
Charmaine said that Beauty Buffet also sells this VERY NICE GINO McCRAY palette e/s, but I couldn't find thepic online so I just randomly ask my bro to pick a few e/s and blush :S

NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base: OHHhh! MY FIRST NARS! Damn that NARS Orgasm is totally OOS in whole of Thailand! WTH.. =_=

GINO McCRAY Blush Close-up (Top-Natural Sunlight, Bottom-with Flash)
The mini glitters are suppose to look more towards gold than silver, i don't know why it can't be captured by my cam. :\

GINO McCRAY e/s & NARS Close-ups

GINO McCRAY & NARS Swatches
Apparently, with or without NARS e/s base, the intensity of the e/s still look the same. However the feel of swatching it on top of the base and without the base was different. It felt more smoother to apply on and the e/s felt silky with base

Random 3D rings my bro & his gf bought for mi! =D Sho nice!! I love love love it! <3
Both are unique its own way! (Left) 3 rings to be worn as 1 (Right) Looks like many rings combined, but its only 1! kekkex~

Here is my latest GMarket haul. Just 1 brown pleather bag? Neh.. I bought a black dress and a pair of shoes too! However, the shoes I couldn't wear cos its small (Will try to sell it here after I take pics). And the black long top.. I forgot to take pic ^^"

On 27 August, there was a campaign launch for Citibank Citi Globeshopper - Click it. Ship it.
Few bloggers were invited to attend this event which was held at the 5th level of Orchard Central, Fruits Paradise.
A place where its bright (yet not hot cos its air-conditioned), cozy and the cakes served was Super Yummy!! Great place to hold such fun event! ^_^
The sky's full of clouds, gonna rain soon! I was actually waiting for Ah ru to rush down so I'm keeping fingers cross that it won't rain! X X

Presentation of Citibank Citi Globeshopper "Click it. Ship it"

Q & A time:
During the presentation, someone asked a question about whether Citi Globeshopper will add in Japan brands online stores to the merchant list, and they said, YES they will try to add in more brands. They're thinking to expand it not only to Japan but other parts of asia too! (perhaps Korea, China, HK, Taiwan? =D~ *Drools*)
Ok now, after listening to this answer, I'm gonna prepare my Citibank card for massive hauling! KKekekekex~
Why? Cos I personally think that its even harder to shop from Japan & Korea because we don't understand their language at all! And most of their stuffs suits us because we are asians too! =D At least for US & UK, its easier since all their sites are in English ^^

Ok now, FUN TIME!!!
We were assigned to decorate a plain board to bring out the idea of Citi Globeshopper Click it. Ship it. The group of Citibank staf will then judge which group's advertisement board brings out their idea best. hahax~ See them all happily laughing at our nervous & wacky presentation!

Thank you once again to Citibank and Ju Ann from Oasis Interactive for inviting me to this fun event! =D

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

Last month July, TheSampleStore invited me to the Sunsilk Weather Defense Bloggers event. It was held at Ben & Jerry's @ Heeren.
Why outdoors you say? Because the Sunsilk organising team think that it suits their theme "Weather Proof Your Hair". So they want to know how weather proof OUR hair are (ie, against Summer Sun, wind, etc). hahahax..

The product packaging colour is same as the clear folder and my bag! Turquoise!~ Loving this colour much~

DO YOU KNOW?
Hair increases in length by up to 3% from dry to humid ways.
It reacts in completely unpredictable ways - Curly hair may frizz up and straight hair goes limp.
¾ women get 15% more frizz when it's over 24°C.
UV Rays also cause frizz and severe hair damage.

Now, with RARE INGREDIENTS...
Sunsilk features the ROSE OF JERICHO, a resurrection ingredient that comes to life after months of appearing lifeless!

With this Rare ingredient, Sunsilk's NEW Weather Defense range promises to prevent our hair from:
FRIZZ
FLYAWAY
FLATNESS
*Yeah!* if it could do that to my hair! ^o^v~

Live demo on one of the bloggers' hair.

During Q&A sessions, Shawn answered a few questions that most of them I already knew.
Particularly one question that was asked was something like:
Why do we grow white hair and will plucking white hair makes us grow 3 white hair?
He answered that why we grow white hair even at a young age like now, usually is because of stress level, the environmental issues and your personal daily lifestyle. All in all, it affects your body in someway and it will affect the cells underneath your scalp, therefore affecting the growth & colour pigments of your hair.
Another is cause by genetic (inherited from your parents/grandparents).
And whether or not by plucking 1 white hair will make you grow more white hair, he doesn't know because it's always been a myth and many people still believes it.  For this, I knew the answer. ^_^ (I knew but I didn't share at the event because I was shy to say.. =p~) The answer is NO.

I had a chat with Shawn about white hair during our ice-cream eating time. Lolx..
I told him that I have white hair since 12+, I got it from my parents, (same to my brother too). I didn't do anything to it till I was about 20 and was influenced by someone else who have the exact same problem as me, then I started plucking out all the white hair.
True enough as what I was taught, the white hair got lesser and the whites didn't grew back. And now I have full black hair!! ^^ (If bleached hair doesn't count.. lolx) Reason why plucking your white hair doesn't make it grow more whites because every strand of hair is attached to a follicle (like a pore that grows out hair... lolx~). By plucking 1 hair from that follicle, doesn't split your follicle to 3! Your follicle is still 1 and it can only grow 1 strand of hair! So girls, don't believe this myth and don't be stubborn about it, it can't and it won't grow 3 white hair! =p~
Every time I see any white hair, I'll just pluck them out, (I'll pluck out for my friends too =p~) and now, only once in a bluemoon I will get a few strands of white hair.
As for whether it affects my hair volume, there isn't much changes from the time I was 12 and now. Because all the while, I always have limp oily thin hair with little volume. Perhaps, it did become alittle thinner than last time however I feel that my follicles are still rather strong and healthy, it regrow pretty fast, therefore it also explains why my hair grows long pretty quick too.
I also discussed with Shawn about how the white/grey hair comes about and he agreed with me too. I said that I remembered reading an article many years ago on how a person can get more white/grey hair or faster than anybody else is because of the pigment cells in the roots. When a person age or due to other factors, the pigment cells weakens and it will make your hair loose its black pigments making it look grey or white. If this is cause by age, it doesn't help if you pluck them out.
But if you are young and you have lots of white hair like me in the past, even though you could pluck them (like what I did) but here, I'm advising you not to. Because everyone has different hair regrowth rate. It might take me just a few months for my follicle to regrow new hair but it might take someone else a year or more. So, I do not want anyone of you to hate me after reading this and start plucking your white hair, later found out that you became bald.. lolx~
By the way, ALTHOUGHHhhh scientifically it says that another white hair will grow in its place to replace your plucked white hair since the pigment cell is already dead, but I still prefer to think otherwise. ^^""

Anyways, I already stopped plucking my white hairs for almost half a year now reason because I been bleaching and dyeing my hair! hhahax..
Its no way less harmful than plucking hair but at least its a beauty/fashion icon to own a coloured hair and also, it voluminise my hair too! After dyeing, my hair lost its moisture causing the hair to fluff up to about 1.5 times of its usual thickness, and because my hair's dry, it automatically sucked in all the sebum that my scalp could produce, making my hair look non-oily yet well-moisturised, volumnized, beautifully bleached hair. Hahax! =p~

But of course, I still maintain my hair by doing the neccessary shampooing, conditioning, hair-masking, hair seruming, hair drying DAILY so I won't have crispy fried hair on the next day.

And with that, the Q&A session is over~ Everyone packing up to go for their ice-cream eating =p~

Do I look like a VAMPIRE to you? Hahhax.. I'm wearing a Pink I.Fairy Lens! Beside me is Felicia and Tiffany! ^^
My hair isn't WEATHER Proof! See the frizz? kekex.. I admit, I was lazy, I didn't apply serum on my hair before i went out! =p~

Polaroid: 3 of Us using the given props! =D I like japanese fan~ *cosplay face*

The Ultimate Hair Monster Duo! lolx.. That's Shawn and me! (Seriously, anyone thinks Shawn look like NONO? kekex..)

Shawn showing me his purplish-maroon-pink hair! Super striking colour! Me love~ Wonder how it'll look on me if I were to have blonde with purple hair ends.. Probably, I'll end up with alot of split ends i think. kekex..

And now, meet the expert: TEDDY CHARLES

I was given a full set of Sunsilk Co-creations Weather Defense range products:
- Sunsilk weather defense Shampoo $10.90 (700ml) / $6.70 (350ml)
- Sunsilk weather defense Nourishing Conditioner $6.70 (350ml)
- Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Frizz Control Light Cream $6.90 (120ml)
- Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Shine Serum $8.25 (40ml)

Sunsilk weather defense Shampoo & Sunsilk weather defense Nourishing Conditioner

Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Shine Serum

Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Frizz Control Light Cream

During my daily hairwash routine, I :
- Wet my hair and run it through water thoroughly (to remove the dust and dirt from hair first)
- Use Sunsilk Weather Defense Hair Nourishing Conditioner on my hair ends, then wash off after a minute or 2.
- Use Sunsilk Weather Defense Hair Shampoo on scalp and lather without spreading it to the hair ends (so the ends will still remain nourished by the conditioner)
- Wash off the shampoo
- I usually would choose to use the conditioner (Alternatively, hair mask from other brands) again on hair ends, because I find that the shampoo sometimes washed off the silky smooth feeling that was left on by the conditioner during the first round of conditioning. If you think your hair is not feeling dry after the shampoo step, you can skip this last step.
- Then, comes the haircare time! (refer below)

Here is a video I did using Sunsilk Weather Defense Shield & Frizz Control Light Cream vs Shield & Shine Serum.
Its more like a tutorial or my own step by step hair caring routine, rather than a review of the 2 haircare products. ^^"
Its a 3mins 47secs video, includes some slow-mo and fast-motion parts. lolx..
Watch this video if you:
- Have very / super dry hair with or w/o oily scalp
- Have frizzy hair
- Want to know how & when to apply hair lotion/cream/serum
- Want to know how & when to blow dry your hair
- Wants to know some little tips in making your hair less frizzy, smoother, and volumnize/fluffy hair
*Note: I am an anti-rebond hair person! I dun like straight limpy/rebond hair! lolx.. So dun ask me how to acheive straight rebonded-like hair! >,< I want volume volume volume hair!! FTW~ XD

Pictures taken after the video-ing...
Both sides appear to be almost the same..lolx~ That's because I Hair mask my hair weekly, and its already well nourished.. kekex..

Review of Shampoo & Conditioner:
I like both of them as the shampoo didn't make my scalp itch nor does it makes it feel oily. Even though I have very dry bleached & dyed hair, my scalp is still the oily type and it would itch if I use any shampoo that is too rich for it.
The conditioner however could not provide my hair the right moisturise level, I would still require hair mask roughly 2-3 times a week to make my hair feel smooth and tangle-free. I feel that it could however, provide the right nourishment for those with only slight bleached/dyed hair. Nevertheless, I love the smooth silky feel that this conditioner gives my hair.

Review of Serum & Light Cream:
Serum is rich and its superb for dry hair like mine. As mentioned, I have oily scalp so this serum cannot go anywhere nearer than 5cm from my scalp otherwise it will somehow spread towards my scalp making it oily greasy and then, itch. :\ That, or my whole head will look greasy, and hair will go limp.
Roughly about total of 5 pumps is more than enough for the whole head (exclude roots/scalp area of course!)
Light Cream is really light and when I apply on my hair, it absorb so fast that I hardly got time to spread it out. Therefore in the video, you see me putting on 3 applications of Light Cream.
I actually like both Serum & Light Cream for they have their own pros and cons. Serum makes my hair turn oily quickly if I wear it whole day with sweating, etc.. but its easier to apply on and it immediately makes your hair smooth and silky.
Light Cream doesn't make my hair turn oily, moisturises well but only thing is that I have to apply ALOT more than the serum, which requires a longer time during application.
Last question: Frizzy or not? I would say it requiresh air mask to make it work better. I cannot depend solely just on conditioner and serum/ light cream to achieve non-frizz hair. Cos my whole head might be looking oily and still frizz at the ends! Get it? ;)

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

For the past 2 months and July, I spent quite alot on Fashion stuffs and I got many unread magazines! Finally, today I opened up all of them to 'scan' the pages.. *Phew*~ I hope my efforts will be appreciated much~ ^^

GMarket OKIBOX jewelry/accessory
Total of 28 items (I forgot what other 8 items were..Hmm...) ~$100 : The stuffs weren't that great. I find that only Rings and pleather bracelets are the most worth as their quality is much better than the rest of the accessories.
ALDO (Up to 70% SALES! ^_^)
Casal Black Ankle Heels $46.50: CHEAP! It was $155 before~ I'm lacking of many Black stuffs, hence from now on I'm trying to collect black coloured items ^^
Watler Shades (Floral) $29: CUTE isn't it!!!~~~ Great for the summer season!
Herrlin Shades (Black blink blink) $29 : Isn't this shades COOLLLLL!!?!??! XD~ Reminds me of BEAST somehow~

After discounts: $180.20 Great Savings! ^_^

Uniqlo BIG BANG Grey Tee in XL size: $19.90

LovelySpree Haul RANT
I just want to do a short review of the clothes I bought from LovelySpree.
One fine day, I came across their Facebook and I started browsing their site. Then realise that many bloggers bought clothes from them and reviewed saying the stuffs they bought are wonderful. Hence, I think no further and proceed to ordered 3 clothes and 1 belt.
Angelic cowgirl chiffon dress $18.20
Camel Halter $19.90
Pink Mint Imiusa blouse $20.90
Brown Belt $7.90
Total $66.90 spendings with shipping.
When the parcel came and I opened it up. I was SUPER AWED to see that the clothes look SHO AWFUL! I haven't even tried but already know they will look awful is because of the material/fabric used to make these clothings!
I pasted the original pics compare to the clothes I received below. Some of you who can't make out the exact material used just by looking at my pics, would probably think that its almost identical to the advertised item. Yes, the design look similar but the Materials are just..... YUCKS!
I tried the clothes, and find that Angelic cowgirl chiffon dress is made of a rough chiffon (Can even see that the material is not as flowy as the original and crumples easily) plus I couldn't even squeeze through the chestline when wearing it. I managed to get through finally but the dress look alittle akward. The cutting isn't the same as the original. MAYBE I will wear this again when I'm in the mood.
For Camel Halter, the material weren't as what I had expected but it is still consider fine. At least the best among the 3 clothes I bought. However the fabric sheds little residues. The fabric is somewhat like suede and I reckon this cannot be put into washing machine or otherwise it will shed like crazy!
ONE thing that I do not want to even TALK about it is the Pink Mint Imiusa blouse. JUST LOOK at the 2 Comparison photos! THEY ARE NOT THE SAME! The material is so rough and paper-like, totally not flowy at all. The moment I took it out from the wrapping, I immediately relate it to AUNTIE. I shall pass this on to any AUNTIE to wear. SO NOT GOING TO WEAR THIS! And this cost freaking $20+ where I can get this like $5 from some market.
And lastly, the belt. I can buy this from stores at 2 for $5. WASTE MY MONEY buying it, the material is too soft, doesn't feel like its a belt even!
I shall not shop there again. Perhaps for others who love their clothings are the lucky ones who bought the nice clothes or their taste is bad. I'll say that I RATHER spend my $66.90 in GMarket and get 5 times better quality products from them!!! PFFT! You may think what all these fuss about, and I only spent $66.90? Well, I like buying cheap stuffs online and I'm prepare to take risks, usually 1 item of all would be bad but others are all good. But for this, its ALLLLL BAAAAD... I compared with FaireBelle, THEIR stuffs are so much better than LOVELYSPREE, and the prices are similar too!
I actually even tried to apply for writing a review on lovelyspree items, hoping they'll send me something. Now, I just dun wana talk abt them anymore. So much for all the nice reviews. Hmph. =^=
My RANT on LOVELYSPREE shall end here.

I saw a blogspot link from the magazine: http://popcultureafternoon.blogspot.com Its super nice! Go click click! ^^

雨女 or あめ　おんあ　or ame onna (literally - Rain girl) is the term given to a person who seems to always bring the rain with her when a picnic or outdoor celebration is planned.
I personally am very fond of clothings and boots designed just for Rainy days. I wonder why the hell my granny didn't buy any cute rain boots for me to wear to school, but instead tied 2 market plastic bags OVER my school shoes and ask me to walk to school, surprising all my classmates with my super dry shoes regardless of the heavy downpour before. ^_^" Wat a funny culture Singapore has!
This my first time seeing someone wearing geek specs with Kimono! But still sho cute! ^_^ Talking about Kimono, we thought of Natsu Matsuri.
This year there will be one happening on 20 August at Japanese Primary School (Changi). Its fun! And super packed too every year! However this year's Natsu clashes with STGCC (Cosplay event) so I reckon many cosplayers will skip Natsu. If you like Japanese culture too just like me, you MUST visit Natsu Matsuri! It will be an eye opening event for you if its your first time! ^_^ BTW, my friend Selphie is performing AKB48's dance. Do watch out for this performance if you are there! =3

Look at the blondy~ Perhaps if I draw my eyebrow black, I will look like her.. kekex..

This swimsuit is super cute!!! =D

How to do eye makeup:
I love all the model's contact lenses. Their lenses do not have this black outer ring printing hence making the iris more natural looking.

GLOW Magazine scans:
I see Sarah, Mag and Sara! (I only can recognise them.. ^^") & DHC foundation... tempts me...~ @_@

Here says bowel habits range from three times a day to three times a week is normal? o_O I tot if I don't have bowel movement at least once a day, that means I have constipation.. hahax~

NUYOU $6.49 with free 1 Loreal OpenEyesPro in Tuquoise palette ^_^
This picture doesn't do justice to the nice swatches! >_<

'The Ah-Lian' OOTD: (quoted by a random Ah-Lian BA from Watsons)
Miss Skeleton long tee: GMarket
Big bronze cross with skeleton: Cineleisure
Navy Blue Black leggins: overseas
Black pleather ankle platform heels: GMarket
Bracelets: GMarket & overseas
Just to explain why the theme 'Ah-Lian'. My friend and I went into Watsons passing by 2 BAs (older age than us) and one of them went something like "Aiyah, just some AH-LIANs LAH!" Saying it out loud just when we walked past them. Reason why probably both of our hair are blonde (mine blonde yellow, my friend's blonde ash)
As usual, I don't pick up fights or arguements with strangers, so I just kept quiet. Seriously thinking those people who give names about others, are meaning to say that they are one themselves. So we got 2 Old ladies who wants to be Ah-lians themselves (But cant) in Ngee Ann city Watsons, jealous of our hair and our dress-up?... kekex.. Watever it is, I dun really care. As long as I like the way I style myself will do ^^

Lastly, my mimi to end the post. ^_^ I did this to him cos I saw a video of a cat's head popping out from a jacket sleeve, its sho cute!! >o<
Anyways mimi hates it. He escaped and punched holes onto my working blouse with his teeth.. kekekex..

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

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！hehehe!
I LOLed! Super cheeky Amber. XD~

On May, I bought shoooo many things, that I didn't have time to photoshop and post all the pics (my comp now is very slow! *vomits blood*). So I had to post a few times of my hauls seperately.

Here, showing my Holika Holika hauls. ^^
I first bought my Holika stuffs from GMarket (Because Singapore Holika outlet is SUPA overprice!).
I bought:
- Holika Mineral aura bijou blusher (GOLD) $27
- Holika Face 2 Change Liquid Roller BB Cream $29
- Holika Hello holika cat blusher $29
- Tony Moly Tonytint mini x 5pcs $8
My friend Juliana bought:

Infact, I use a multiple coupons, I get to pay alot lesser than the above price! ^.^ So worth it!

Then, Holika Outlet starts this promo, Buy 1 get 1 free!!!~ I shared the Magic Palette Painting Blusher ($37.50 ÷ 2=$18.75 Cheap!~) with Joyce Lim. =D Initially wanted to buy this from GMarket too but was afraid it might not be nice or it will be too oily! After swatching at the Holika outlet, we think its super nice, hence quickly grab the last 2 boxes! ^^
*Oh and I love that witchy bag~ ^^

The BB Creams/ Base Swatches & Review

Recently, some 'bright idea' cross my mind about BB Creams. I always have difficulty to match BB Cream shade to my face as whatever I put on my face, either turns greyish or too white for me, or it oxidises real bad =_= My face is really a very troublesome face! (%@#$*@$& (Who ask me not to eat anti-oxidant food and don't sleep early. =p~)

Here shows, 8 types of BB/base swatches:
- Holika Holika Face 2 Change Liquid Roller BB
- L'egere White Multi BB
- SANA Pore Putty BB (Not sure if SG selling it, I got it from HK)
- Dr.Jart+ Detok Healing BB (A sample size from Samplestore)
- Lancome UV Expert GN-Shield BB Base (Sachet from Lancome counter)
- aizim Ms, Violet Corium Care (CC) Water Drop - Can consider as BB too (Only available in Korea, China, HK)
- L'egere Water Drop Shiny Pearl BB
- Murad Skin Perfecting Primer (Matte Finish) - Its only a base, not a BB.
* I Totally forgotten about my Maybelline BB in this swatch! *Slaps own face* -_-"
** Pls take note that I did not photoshop any of the pics, so all colours/shade will appear true (although might look dark due to low lit room). This is taken under indoor warm lighting at night, with help of my cam switching to warm lighting settings (meaning it will tone down the orangey colours appear in the pics, so it won't look overly orange)
***My original skintone is medium beige (has a warm orangey + little yellowish tone)

Stage 1 (Left column): Roughly spreading out all bases
Stage 2 (middle column): Further spreading & Blending out all bases
Stage 3 (right column): After 1 hour of waiting...
Stage 1-3 Conclusion:
Holika Holika: It look greyish, after 1 hour it still remains the same. Looks pale whitish-grey under Flash at all stages.
L'egere White Multi: As orangey beige as my skin tone. Appears to oxidise to a little bit darker shade of beige
SANA: Very yellowish. After 1 hour, appears to look alittle bit peachy
Dr.Jart+: Almost same colour tone as my skin. After 1 hour, it appears to turn dark and slightly greyish, but very minimum.
Lancome: Very light pinky kinda beige. Oxidises after an hour to a darker shade of beige.
aizim: The greyish shade among all BB! Still remains greyish and reflects white under Flash.
L'egere Water Drop: Very watery upon first blending (can see bubbles). Near to my skin tone. But most obvious change during oxidisation. Turns darker than previous by about 1-2 shade.(See the one under flash) [Previously I love this BB, but ever since my face has too much free redicals that can oxidise anything, this BB doesn't really work for me anymore :( Infact, all BBs got oxidised till very dark shade by my face =_=]
Murad: Already appears dark upon first blend, due to its not a BB cream, it cannot be left out too long. It will starts to shred into dry residues if I blend it out again. The shade remains unchanged throughout 3 stages.

Stage 4 (left column): Further blending out of the BBs
Stage 5 (right column): Taken under Cool lighting
Stage 4-5 Conclusion:
As can see, some really obvious shades like SANA, aizim still remains as its original shade after a long time. For the rest, well, they got more or less blended to my skintone already.

Overall Conclusion:
As the swatches are all done on the back of my hand, it might not be a fair review because we all know Hands & Faces are obviously different. I personally feel that my face has more free redicals than any other parts of my body.
The moment I put foundation or BB on my face, it could almost immediately oxidises it to a darker shade, without even waiting for 1 hour! Lolx~ See how bad it is =_="
But if you are those that whatever things you splat on your face, doesn't turns colour/shade, then LUCKY YOU! You have a free radical-FREE face! hahhax~
This review serves a purpose for those people who suffer the same problems as me.
What I could suggest when buying a BB Cream, is to do like the above. Swatch it (apply alittle more, not just 1 dot otherwise you can't see the difference!). Then swatch any other BB (maybe one that you used before) beside the one you want to buy, take a pic (if you could).
Go walk around for an hour and look at your swatch again to see if it oxidises into a darker shade. Take another pic to compare with the previous pic you took.
From there, you can decide if this BB shade suits you after oxidisation.
When first applying BB on face, it seems like a lighter shade than your original skintone. But after oxidisation, if it will appears to become a nearer shade to your skintone, then it's considered good enough ^^. As long as it doesn't continue to oxidise further, becoming darker than your skintone, then that would be fine. ^_^

I hope my 'bright idea' of BB Cream Oxidisation talk gives you some bright ideas too in selecting your BB Cream~ ^_^ That is, if you have the same problem as me.. Otherwise, this review serves you no purpose. Hahahhaahax~~~

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)
