Its been awhile since I post my collective hauls.. (Besides my Japan trip's) I bought too much things for the past 2-3 months that my mind was clogged up by numbers of things I wanted to review on my blog.. @_@"
I'm still going to do reviews of my own purchased items but would probably be at a later date. ^^

Before I flew to Japan, I rushed to Sasa to get Audrey Christian Venetrim, a vein reducing cream for my legs or rather, for my feet.
My feet felt really sore these few months as I always been running around for events and walking in super duper high speed in and out of office because we're always busy dealing with all sorts of works and not to mention ALL kinds of human beings. lolx~
Anyhoo, I used Venetrim almost everyday during my Japan trip, my feet feels slightly relaxed and not so sore when I woke up the next day. However in Japan, everyday I walked miles for more than 14 hours without resting my feet. My feet starts to ache even worst.
After I came back, I kinda stopped using it totally and only started to use Venetrim again the past 2 days.
I was hoping to do a review of this as I had took a BEFORE picture of my leg & feet, and wanted to see if it do help to reduce my ugly veins after 4 weeks of continuous usage.
Audrey Christian Venetrim (150ml) $79.00 : Sasa Outlet

The brochure that's placed at Sasa. The ingredients used looks great! I do hope it could help solve my veins problem! ^^

GSS Loots

Some stuffs I hauled during the GSS period.
ETUDE HOUSE Happy Teatime Lemon Tea Cleansing Foam $7.90 (-30%) : I'd used the Green Tea, I feel that Lemon Tea is drier than Green Tea. Green Tea gives my skin a smoother after-feel.
JUJU AQUAMOIST Cleansing Oil (-20%) : Bought at BHG. Repurchase.
SANA Nameraka Honpo (Soy Bean) Cleansing Oil $19.90 (-20%) : Bought at BHG. Repurchase.
Cyber Colors Purifying Cleansing Oil in Grapefruit $49.90 (-20%) : From Sasa. Its my first time buying such a big bottle of cleansing oil! To be frank, I'm drawn to its packaging that's why I buy it! ^^" I tried it out at the store on back of my hand, it doesn't feel thick and creamy like the other cleansing oil I'd used. I had yet opened it to try till now, I do hope it won't disappoint me!
Tippys Maxi Squares Cotton Pads $1.95 : Again, bought it cos I like the packaging. =p
Sasatinnie Anti-oxidant Regenerating Face Mask $1.95 (-20%) : From Sasa
L'Oreal Color Infallible in Pink Sapphire $14.90 (-20%) : From Watsons.
Leaders Insolution Vita Bright Mask $3 each (Buy 3 get 1 free) : From Watsons
ETUDE HOUSE Ginkgo Lip Patch $3.90 (-30%)
ETUDE HOUSE AC Clinic Pink Powder Spot Patch $3.90 (-30%) : I find this pretty useful! It soothe and relieve my inflammation over a night

See that big bottle of CYber Colors Cleansing oil?! :D It appeals to me~

Red Gradient Spotty Stripes scarf $10 : At 1 of the stores in B1 of Wisma Atria
Polkdot Mint & Brown Home Slippers $2 : From Daiso
Belif First Aid Aqua Rush Mask $36 (-20%) : This is my 2nd tub! ^^ Really like it alot!~ It quenches my thirsty skin~
Keratinology Colour Therapy Shampoo $11.90 : From Watsons. Repurchase for many times. Its really good~ ^^
L'Oreal Pris Color-Vive Daily Rinse-out Treatment : From Watsons. I think it cost less than $10.. (receipt lost ^^") Its a rinse-out treatment, not a conditioner. So I tot maybe I could give it a try and see how it differs from a treatment and a conditioner.
b.liv Dullness Cessation - Bright is Right Mask $2.95 each (2nd pc @ $1) : Promo at Sasa. It might still be on, so do go now to get them! ^^ I'd used them for numerous times since last year, gota love ♥ them!
ProPeds Premium 20 Denier Glamorous Fashion Thights in Lilac $8.90 : From BHG. I been using ProPeds pantyhose and tights for awhile now, mostly using for Cosplay purpose and I really like the material used. It's silky, shiny, help hides flaws and doesn't tear that easily. Even though it's really sheer, it could still withstand scratches from my broken nails at least a few times without tearing. This is my first time seeing ProPeds having a rainbow range and even black stripes! I didn't saw the rest of the shades as BHG was only selling like 5 shades.

Its suitable for my height and even height up to 180cm. The table shown below is very useful when you want to know if the tights could fit you.

Japan CUTIE Magazine + Complimentary HbG pouch & Body Fantasies 29ml Spray in Pink Sweet Pea Fantasy $17.80 : Kinokuniya
Turqoise wide chiffon Hairband $7.90 : Helen

GMARKET GLOBAL Haul

I finally gotten my first experience of buying stuffs from GMarket Korea (Global). The online buying procedures have now changed slightly compared to the other time which I'd posted about. Its alittle bit easier now however there are still some glitches here and there and you probably need to be quite familiar with e-commerce in order for you to process with your orders smoothly.
All the stuffs I bought this time are cat theme related. Even my cat Mimi also want to be in the picture together with them.....

As I'd been dying to get a new diary book (more like a monthly schedule book for my work & personal), I searched through GMarket and saw alot of [Jetoy] Choo Choo Cat diaries & stuffs so I decided to get more than just a diary (anyways more stuffs = more discounts in shipping fees). After I placed ordered and paid for all my items + domestic (Korea) & worldwide shipping, then there were 2  items being refunded because the seller do not have stock anymore. *disappointed* (≥∆≤)
GMarket also refunded 4600won back to my account as they found out the actual weight of my parcel is less than the estimated weight calculated by their system. Good! (^∇^)
Altogether, I had spent ￦39,700 + ￦12,340 shipping = ￦52,040 (~S$61.30) for the 4 items + 1 free sticker & coupon (Heh Heh~)
Expensive much? I think it's still ok, considering that Singapore sells them at about double the price for Choo Choo Cat stuffs.

Actually, I don't need this blue travel handpouch, but I was REALLY tempted by the prints! Its original price is ￦26.800 but they are selling it at ￦22,780. On top of that, I can still use discount coupon! ^^

I already had a Choo Choo Cat passport cover... but I wanted this transparent one badly too! Its so pretty! (*^_^*)
It includes a Jetoy passport travel schedule too which can layer over your passport or can be inserted at the sides, whichever way you like~

ZALORA Haul

ANOTHER Online haul....
I received ZALORA Voucher through my UOB Card mailer and I couldn't hold myself back because this voucher is $20 off! And can be used on top of GSS items too! Its a common code, so everyone can use it for unlimited number of times!
However Zalora coupons are unlike GMarket, they can only be used once on the total bill. Wherelse GMarket coupons can use on every single items. I think I got so used to GMarket coupons and that mentality make me want to put in more discount codes in Zalora but later find out I could not... lolx..

Here comes my parcel! It was big for only 2 items which I'd ordered. The box's very useful.. I had already kept it aside so I can reuse it to put my stuffs! lolx~

Estelle Multiway Chiffon Blouse $25.40 : The mint green blouse is a GSS item.

Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser (200ml) $68 : I used a sample size Exf cleanser and I really like the results it gives me so I decided to purchase the full size product. I think 200ml is going to last me a year, considering the sample size can already last me a few months! ^_^

Before I end this................

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

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.

Though I always been busy, that doesn't stop me from taking pics of my OOTD when I'm going out on my Off days. (My Off days are like, very RARE~) Hmm.. I'm thinking should I rename my blog to like, Monthly Dressup Shots instead of Daily? ahhax~ I seriously do not know why I put Daily. *knocks own head* (>,<")o~

Anyhoo, if you had been following me in Instagram, you probably had seen my OOTD shots as like below: (Clicky to enlarge)

While everyone is enjoying their Halloween night in gore makeup, ghostly costume and taking scary photos at Orchard, I, was sick & working, and I sat silently infront of my computer photoshopping my cosplay pics.... sigh~ What a quiet Halloween for me this year! ~_~"

2 months ago, I had a Solo photoshoot of my Sailor Pluto cosplay. I'd been thinking for quite sometime after last year Dec's Sailor team battle suit cosplay at AFA X to do a solo shoot because I think I always have badly taken photos and had to go through alot of processing inorder for it to look decent to the public eyes... ^_^" So, a solo photoshoot means I'll have more nice pics to keep as memory! =D
Anyways, this solo photoshoot turned out GREAT! Though I expected more like, taking at the rooftop, doing laying down, kneeing, sleeping poses.
But: 1) the rooftop door is locked because of that corpse in water tank issue. -_-" 2) It was drizzling ~_~""" 3) I was terribly slow in dressing up, only started shooting at around 7pm.
Nevertheless, I still end up with nice photos thanks to my beloved photographer friends, Juliana & Valefor. Not forgetting Jane & her hubby and finally Noshuu (my dear Sailor Jupiter) who lend me her tiara (green gem but I PSed to magenta) cos I forgotten where I put mine! Without all of them, this will not be a successful photoshoot! ~\(^o^)/~

Anyhoos, here are the VISUALS! ^____________^v~

Juliana have quite nice lighting gadgets that can make my flaws disappear! Lolx~
Below is a Sailor Pluto card I made cos I LOVEEEEeee collecting sailor cards like THESE. Perhaps I could use this pic to make my first coscard? ^^

At the preview event, I saw so many familiar faces! ^.^

Well, before I go on with my Hauls.. I just want to tell everyone that I'd signed up 1 dancing workshop happened just earlier this month. I guess besides my primary school times which I took part in a one time stage hawaii dancing performance wearing straw skirts and holding pongpongs, this should be the 2nd time in my life learning how to dance.

I love listening pop, rock, R&B music and recently everyone's going gaga over (besides Lady Gaga)... its none other than KPOP, known as Korean Pop.

And what's the Hu and the HA about this dance workshop? It's about SNSD RUN DEVIL RUN Dance workshop!!!
If you hadn't seen how they dance, play the following Vid!!

This dance step is NOT EASY OKKKKkkkk.. (for a 2nd timer like me) At least I find that SNSD "Oh!" even though appears difficult, still is easier than Run Devil Run! And of course, GEE! is the easiest. Heh.. Why can't they teach something simpler.. =_=
Any hoo, Let's take a look at the studio @ my HQ... The trainer was invited to our HQ Dance studio to teach a bunch of lazy bums employees like us.. And dancing is for ANY AGE! =p (Arrows: THat's mi!)

After 2 hours of dancing, we managed to complete first half of the song.

It suppose to be a 8 weeks dance course to complete the whole song with perfect dance steps, but we are no pros so we just anyhow~ complete it within 1 workshop.

Apparently I find that the workshop "NO SWEAT!" (Plus the studio was air-conditioned)...

.....until the 3rd day, my muscles ached like nobody business!!

Phew~~ Dancing sure can kill some calories, stretch some stiff muscles and improve my blood circulation!!
I soooo wanting to join Hip hop dance but my work doesn't allow me to have more personal time for my interests.

Darn, work sure SUX big time!

Here, was my OOTD during the dance workshop, but I was wearing trackpants earlier before I changed to jeans. The pants are super long that I kept stepping on the ends and tripping myself over. ^_^"

Oh ya, the dance trainer is from Danz People, see their FB here! The trainer is sooo sooo cute & hilarious! I didn't catch her name though. At first sight, I tot I saw Sara... But I didn't wear specs, so the similarity percentage might be only 1% =p~

Now, ON with DA HAULS!!~

MAC Haul: Superslick Liquid Eye Liners in Gold & Silver!
Many many Thanks again to Kim for helping me purchase at DFS when she went to Changmai! I spent $66 overall.. So, I did saved a few dollars did I? o_O
But i hadn't include registered mail yet.. hhahax~

Topshop Lipstick: in Desert: $19
ZEA Plumper Lip Stick in Rose Vintage: $13.90
ZEA Plumper Lip Gloss: $9.90
One swatch of Desert, I immediately want it! It reminds me of MAC freckletone lipstick which I dropped it into the toilet bowl.. u_U" However Topshop lipstick is very dry... while ZEA's very moisturising! Its a good buy!

In my previous collective haul, I bought a Ritzo Color Guard Hair Spray and the nozzle phailed on me.. TWICE! Lucky thing is that I tried on the spot when I exchanged for the 2nd Ritzo. Man, never again will I buy that brand from Ocean! And so I paid alittle more to get...
L'Oreal Paris Professionnel Anti-Static IONIC Air fix techniart (Force 5): $13.50 (Phew~ what a long name..)

After reading AB's Nature Republic Ice Jelly Primer post.. I just had to try it too! Its not cheap if I were to think that the original price in Korea is only less than $10.. But to think such known brands products (like L'Oreal/Maybelline) to be sold in SG for the cost of $19.80 is rather reasonable. ^_^"
Ice Jelly Primer Cherry: $19.80
SoapWort with Pomegranate Facial Wash: $10.90
Alaska Pure Ice Aqua Sun Cream SPF35: $21.90

Quite like the Ice Jelly Primer and now thinking to get the Blueberry one! Intially I only wanted the blueberry but it was out of stock! =( *hint hint na, help me get with the member card~ hahhax..* As for the Aqua Sun Cream, I keep getting residues on my face.. Till now, I have tried using different day skincare to see if I get the same results. Yap, up to now I still getting residues. =_= FYI, I still put on cream moisturiser before the Sun Cream, I will try not to put cream moisturiser next time and see how it works out. =)

Sasa Hauls~
Shiseido Eyelash Curler: $16.20
Cyber Colors Gemstone Aqua-base Pudding Foundation SPF20 PA++: $36.90

I had been lemming on this foundation for a looong time ever since it was launched! And finally I got it!
Aside from this, I start lemming on its 2way cake too! The 2way has very pretty shimmers on it so nice! =D~ (no swatches though..u can only see it in my brain..)

The spatula comes with 2 different scoop design. The round side JUSTTTTT perfect for me to dig the content out of the Ice Jelly Primer! And then the flat scoop for the foundation~ One stone hit 2 birds. ^.^

Now for freebies! Na and me went to collect our dejavu Fiberwig (thickening) Mascara~ Its my first dejavu! It came with a very cute pretty pouch, a combi of coin purse with tissue holder.I like the pink furry accessory, will be using to hang on my bag or hp.. =p

Lasly, some hauls from overseas.. heh heh.. I will not get into details for these babies, as some of these are for someone special!! *wink wink* (~.^)

However, I will get into detail just for one part. Which is, how to check your product authenticity...?
( This only apply to products bought from this company: www.LMCZ.com )
As most of you know, there are zillions of fake/replica/duplicate/unauthentic (whatever you want to call it) products in China/Taiwan/HK/Korea etc etc.. But I must say the fake stuffs are more often than not, made in China.
Believe or not, in China, there are also localised brands being replicated! Say for example, the infamous Chaarming Cat (Not spelt as 'Charming') products, part of LMCZ. They are rather famous in their own country that other people would want to replicate their products for their own benefits!
So, the company came out with the Authentication stickers for every each of their product. You should be able to see the sticker pasted on the box or packaging, otherwise you are buying a fake.
With the sticker, doesn't mean it is authentic, you need to check the number code printed in there on the LMCZ website.
Following pic shows step by step tutorial on how to check your product authenticity.

Basically the same principle applys on the Windows software too, if you realised. ^_^

Just a thought, does anyone of you know how to go about doing a quick check on a perfume to see if its Genuine/Fake during your purchase? ^___^
Make a guess.

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

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

On past Saturday, 5th June 10, many bloggers were invited by L'Oreal Paris Cosmetics to attend the Chrome Intensity Bloggers' Party taking place in Fika -Swedish Café & Bistro (locate at Arab Street @ Bugis area)

I had whole lot of fun taking pics in the party! And na talked alot! XD~ I talked alot too and bonded quite quickly to the girls whom I only met them 1st time! ^_^
And the girls sitting on this table are...
From L to R: Forensia (Joyce), June, everbluec (Chantana), icefrost (Michelle), rainyydays (Kim), Ateliergal (Joyce Sept), luvverlyn (Verlyn)
Christy came later after I took this pic.. ^_^"

The function room concept: Moose + Butterflies! (weird combi.. hahhax.. Actually the moose belongs to the cafe!)
For lunch, I had potato wedges, grilled chicken and ♥Brownies♥!

Each invited bloggers received a press kit (The packaging is NICE!), inside contains all 4 Open Eyes Chrome Intensity Eyeshadow Palettes. And also a pouch that contains Loreal Paris Super Liner 24H, Ultra-Volume Collagene Mascara and 3 Color Riche Lipsticks.

Oh yes, in my previous post of my NOTD, someone guessed the culprit of the pink & purple nails right! Its na! XD~

Now for some swatches!
My spoilt fountain is now a great display for such use! Hehehex.. Cool huh?!

For more closeup swatches, you can refer to everbluec's

Trial on Magic Amber palette on my right eye... I must say the intense of the shadows are not bad ne~
Just to say, I am not applying the shadows base on the method they drawn at the back of packaging instead, I used my own method.
I love the Highlighter and Addictive Yellow in this palette! The highlighter brightens the surroundings of my eye, very nice indeed~

The products I used on mi 1 eye.

[edit]
L'Oreal Paris Open Eyes Chrome Intensity Quad Palettes are Limited Editions, sold @ $19.90/quad. Cheap for such an intense e/s colours!
Will be released on 18 June at all Watsons, Guardians, selected departmental stores and major supermarkets, hypermarkets.

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Rightttt.... Messy hair i know, but I'm running out of time! (End up taking cab down Bugis) hahax..
With half of my hair pin up already, I still sweat alot because that day, the humidity @ city area is so darn high!

1 SkinFood Haul
I must thank ladeekim for helping me buy this pretty gold polish!! Thanks kim! ^__^ (I'm not lazy or wat, I'm just too busy or just didn't get to pass by any SkinFood counters!) And also thanks to hazelnutt for flaunting this gold polish in your blog, otherwise I might still be considering to get it or not till now. =p
Below is 2 most glittery gold polish I own, a comparison of both...

My NOTD
My nails all short and fat while I have such scrawny fingers, skiny hands.. Not pretty at all =_=
Sorry my hands didn't sleep well day before hence my undernails grew dark circles heh.

Guess who's fat playful fingers came into the pic? I shall review it on my actual entry of the Bloggers' Party! ^_^
So, as can see from the pic, SF look very light gold, while NFU is yellowish!
SF's is very densed with glitters while NFU's is sparse but their glitters reflects more beautifully (i find) than SF under spot light.

My LOTD
Nothing much on the makeup, the usual stuffs.. But Its time to flaunt the pink lips!
I'm using my recent bought cool tone NYX Paris lippie. (Its definitely more brighter in reallife!) Its very lasting, even after I drank, ate lunch and ate dessert, still there!
I have one hotter pink than this NYX Paris, I shall next time use it! (Most likely next sunday as I'm attending Streetfest event!) =D

Here comes the L'Oreal Paris MUA, Julyen! See how FAIR he is! OMG.. And I'm like... Leaning tower of Pisa beside him.. OTL||| While he stands so... model-ish! He's so cool! >_< He kept saying, "You're so tall, you're so tall. I felt intimidated by your height!"  (^_^"" My heels are only like 4cm high leh... =X)

Somemore sneak peeks of MUA's stuffs at the party...

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)
