Daily Dressup Shots

Recently, my bro asked me what I want cos he's going Taiwan. So I looked through some Jap cosmetic brands' sites knowing that most of the Jap cosmetics in Taiwan are sold cheaper than in Japan itself.

I came by Lavshuca site, seeing the advert on their new Summer Collection - Lav Garden, thought that I could share with you ladies too. Incase you're like me, asking friend to custom purchase for you. ^_^

Lav Garden limited edition eyepalette was just released on 1st of May, while stocks lasts.

I'd been liking Lavshuca for awhile now, as you could see it from my previous posts HERE. Especially their lip products! I almost clear their rack when I was in Hong Kong the last time! Lolx~ Their lip products are usually quite pigmented and their shades are good to use for a natural look at work or school. ^^
The limited edition lipgloss shown below will only be on the racks from May till Oct 2012

I was pretty tempted to get one of the below.. then suddenly recalled that I still have a few unopened ones so..... I withdraw myself from it. (>⌂<")
This limited edition Lipstick comes in 4 shades, they were already launced on Feb 2012 and will only be available till July 2012.

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

- each adds a different feel and glow to your skin.
All five varieties are enriched with various tea extracts for a long-lasting vibrant complexion.
These Good Afternoon BB Creams, containing soft-focus blooming powder and oil- absorbing powder, help to maintain bright makeup looks all day long while providing daily sun protection and good coverage for uneven complexions. Their textures range from illuminating to matte for different skin types and different makeup looks.

Below picture taken from SKIN FOOD Korea:

I was so honoured to be invited by SKIN FOOD Singapore to attend the launch of the Good Afternoon BB Cream at Malaysia  Kuala Lumpur! And  Na was invited too (I only knew it after a day i got my invitation)! I was so happy that I could FLY overseas with her! (our first time in like 7021641649 friendship years to FLY on a plane together! *Excited*)

There is no better place to take NOTD (Nails of the day) than taking it in the mid sky, nearest to the sun! lolx~ Sorry, not beautifully done as I did it in a hurry the day before I flew to KL. ^.^" FYI, the gold glitters is from Skin Food polish. ^^

Here we are at Impiana hotel. Once again for me! Because I just stayed in Impiana on last year December for Comics Fiesta. Déjà vu.

After touch down for awhile, we had our lunch and we dress up to head towards KLCC Suria (Shopping mall). The Tea Party was held at Harrods.

The big Harrods mascot is so cute! I kind of regret for not looking around longer inside Harrods store, my hands are itchy from thinking to own a Harrods bag.. hahax~

We are wayyyy at the inner end of the store. Harrods is quite big! To have a tea party in here is really nice, the sun shines in from the windows, making the room feel cozy. The host is the lady wearing the blue summer hat.

The foods and the goodies. Every table has a label with our names. How exclusive it is! ^^

Here shows the demo for Skin food BB Cream in both Day & Night makeup. There are 2 models and 2 MUA. The other model and MUA is standing way at the front hence I didn't took any pictures of them..

I took this picture because this is quite a funny conversation between Na, Cheryl (from Skinfood SG) and the waiter. kekex~
Bascially Na wanted a glass of plain water (she's very thirsty), the waiter didn't quite catch what she said and came back with a sparkling water + a bill for us to pay. lolx! Anyways Cheryl helped us to settled it~ ^^ Our thoughts: Seriously, no plain ice water in Harrods? *puzzled*

Left - Right: MUA , Model 1, Model 2 (Cheryl), MUA.

This Tea Party is English theme and there is a best dress category so I'm all prepared for it~ ^^ I kinda hate it my hair wasn't all yellow, I didn't got time to bleach it before I flew to KL. And perhaps I should have gotten a headdress or hat to match my costume? I totally forgotten about it! (=_=;+) Anyhoo, here are the top 3 winners!
From Left to right: 2nd prize, 1st prize, 3rd prize.

We were then divided into small groups. Our table is for the oily/combination skin. On the table shows the Peach Sake Pore Sebum Skin care range and some wash off Masks.
From left-right:
Peach Sake Toner: This lightweight, refreshing toner, with rice sake and peach extract rich in vitamins A and C, minimizes shine and the appearance of pores.
Peach Sake Emulsion: Enriched with vitamin C emulsion that contains peach and sake extracts. Tightens pores and controls excess sebum.
Peach Sake Serum: Enriched with vitamin C serum that contains peach and sake extracts. Tightens pores and controls excess sebum.
Carrot Sun Cream SPF 30 PA++: A sunscreen contains the nutrient-enriched extract of organic carrots grown in pure water from Jeju Island and keeps your skin healthy.
Lemon Pack: This lemon based exfoliating mask is rich in fruit acid that removes impurities and dead skin for clean and supple skin.
Black Sugar Mask: Moisturizing and exfoliating wash off scrub mask with minerals, vitamins and glycolic acid. Cleanses and revitalizes the skin.
Acorn Jelly Mask: A mask pack that effectively tightens oil-clogged enlarged pores and exfoliates layers of dead skin cells with powdered acorns from Jiri-mountain. (For this mask, everyone doesn't like the smell of it. I wonder how the user feel having this on their face for 10 mins.. o_O")

The whole group of us! All of the ladies are from Malaysia except Na, me and Cheryl~ ^^

After the Tea Party, we went ahead with SHOPPING!!!~ ^o^/~ Nostalgic times with Na @ A&W! Fufufufuu~~~ There isn't much shopping photos as I didn't have enough sleep, was pretty tired by the end of the day.

KissMe Heavy Rotation Coloring Mascara (Shade #01 Light Ash) was my first ever eyebrow mascara and I had been loving it since then.
I bought this eyebrow mascara about the time I started blogging on OnSugar (2 years?). My first one was bought from Taiwan Ebay.
Below shows my 2nd one bought from Taiwan stores with help from Elaine.

NT299 is about SGD$14.95

I love this shade alot because I usually bleach my hair and I want my eyebrow to look almost like my hair colour.

HEAVY ROTATION was formerly under KISSME. But recently, I found out KISSME has changed name to ISEHAN!!
Isehan.... Isetan? Any connection between them? lolx~

Current ISEHAN website:
See Heavy Rotation button link at the middle left hand side.

At Heavy Rotation page, shows the new version of the Coloring Eyebrow. The new version was out at about mid 2011 but I couldn't get my hands on it cos Singapore doesn't sell Coloring Eyebrow even though we have Heavy Rotation in stores, and Taiwan doesn't seem to carry this new version one too! (⌐_⌐")
Until last year Dec when I went to KL, I saw their Sasa selling the new coloring mascara! ^^
By the way, ¥840 is about SGD$13.35

And TADA!~ Here's the new version of Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow in NEWEST Shade #03 Ash Brown!!

RM39.90 is about SGD$15.90 (Hmm... Taiwan cheaper? Or they had up the price in Japan? o_O)

The OLD vs the NEW!!
(Left) Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow #01 Light Ash -- (Right) Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow #03 Ash Brown
Realised the old one if 7gram and new is 8gram... where's the extra 1gram? The crystal shape cover?

(All the Lefts) #01 Light Ash -- (All the Rights) #03 Ash Brown
Note: I took these pics on a rainy day, hence there might be slight difference of the ones I took compare to the actual shade.

Sorry if the below pictures disgust all of you... m(_ _")m Pardon my super messy eyebrow!!
Due to the below swatches on my eyebrow were taken on a rainy day + on messy eyebrow + I didn't draw my eyebrow first, so the eyebrow mascara wasn't very obvious in the comparison photos as shown...
But in the super close-up pic, you could see the big difference between the 2 shades. One is ashy beige (left) and other is golden brown (right)

Overall Review of KISSME (ISEHAN) Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow:
- Could conceal my black brow almost 80%
- Application is easier and works better with nicely trim brow than messy brow *points to upstairs*↑↑↑
- After applying 1 layer, wait for it to dry. Applying 2nd layer gives more coverage and colour becomes really intense
- After 2 applications, it dries up, hardens and stay in shape even after many hours
-  Sweatproof & waterproof, proven by me cos I wore it few times to play sports (I sweat buckets)
- Looks matte finished but has very fine glitters that could reflect under spotlight
- Only bad point is that the content from the tip of brush sometimes touches the skin and the colour stain the inner part of eyebrow, difficult to remove it, only way is to blend it out
- I like both the shades #01 & #03, they both suit my current hair colour

Here's one of the looks I recently took, also using the #01 Light Ash on top of NOEVIR excel Strong Liquid Eyebrow SWP #SL3
(Taken & edited by using IPhone App)

By the way, my hair is no longer like THIS anymore!!!!~ I'm currently restricted from posting my new haircut & haircolour online.... but uh.. perhaps it'll be revealed at one of the upcoming event's pic or something....(That, I can't stop right? =p~ lolx~) Stay tune!!!~  ╕(∩∑∩)╒

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

On12 March, I was invited to attend TALIKA Skin Retouch media launch at The Fullerton Hotel.

Before I went to the launch, i was pretty excited to learn more about Skin Retouch because from the online sources, I found out that this could also be used even after you had applied your foundation to make your skin look even smoother and flawless!
Skin Retouch is like both skincare and makeup! ^.^
Skin Retouch comes in a 30ml applicator tube.
It is said that Singapore is the first in asia to launch this product!

At Fullerton Hotel, awaiting for us are the ladies in black (L.I.B)~ ^.^

Here we have the TALIKA Marketing Director, Mr Francois Henri Jacques Laurent. (He looks so handsome when he smile right? ^^)

On our tables showcase this new baby of Talika - Skin Retouch!~

Me playing around with Skin Retouch ^_^ Its really easy to use! *Twist* *Twist*

And now, for the TALIKA Skin Retouch Press Release

TALIKA Skin Retouch Face will be out soon in April 2012. More details will be furnished on my Product Review post. ^^
Stay tune!

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

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

Yesterday CNY Day 2, I'd posted my OOTD on Instagram (as shown below). I used several Iphone apps to achieve the following effects. If you wish to download the apps, they are:
Camera360 - Super good camera app! I totally loving it! I had been taking alot of photos using this app, it will not save direct to your photo library yet, but only after you process them, you be able to save them to your phone, otherwise no matter how many photos you take, they will all be stored under the app, categorised by dates. The photos your stored in the app, can be re-edited for countless times without spoiling the original photos. So far, this is the only app I've came across that has the most effects to choose from, i love using it! ^^
iQuikDoF - Best Dof app for blurring out the background so focus is on the subject only. Its easy to use, just paint over the subject and then process it. Painted area remains sharp while others all will be blurred. Blur effect can be from 1 to 100%.
Pixlromatic - Another app that gives many different effects and borders. I usually use Camera360 first to process once, do a iQuikDoF and then use Pixlr to add in more effects for the final touch. ^^

Military OOTD
Navy blue double breasted coat+chiffon cape - Bought from Hong Kong last year, but this is my first time wearing it! ^_^
Beige-Black patterned mini skirt - Bought from Hong Kong. Totally love this skirt x 100000 times! ^^
Grey Houndstooth patterned tights - Taiwan. I also have an exact pair in browns.
Heels - Mondo
Bag - Clares & Keith
White Furry accessory (hang on my bag)- Hong Kong. It was actually double the length of the current, cos my cat Mimi bite it into pieces, this is what is left now =_=
For below pic I didn't use iQuikDoF becos Camera360 app also has blur effect (Tilt-shift in vertical lens).
Original pic taken with Camera360

I use all 3 mentioned apps to PS the below pic.

On CNY Day 2, I played with my other Nymph Aura product, which is the Nymph Aura Loose Powder! ^^ Read HERE for review on Nymph Aura Volumer

ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Loose Powder Ingredients & Swatches:
Saw from the ingredient list that this loose powder is NOT Talc-free.

I picked the #1 Natural Pearl Aura as I have medium dull skin tone, and the other shade is in pink pearl which i think my face would look ashy with that shade. Though from the swatch below,the powder looks almost white, but it is actually beige.

Review of ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Loose Powder:
It has this cooling effect when I first powdered it on my face, the powder is very fine and makes my face looks glittery. The glitters however aren't big enough to be noticed at a distance, its only noticeable under certain lightings (like spot light), at some angles or if I look at my face really upclose infront of mirror.
The shade looks kinda whitish on my face when I applied my first puff of powder, but after smoothing it out, it doesn't make my face look ashy unlike other loose powders. It appears translucent but with slight white glow in it.
I worn this out for about 6 hours and so far I didn't experience anything drastic or whatever..lolx.. The wind nowadays had been super strong. Whenever I step out of the building, the wind blew against me was so strong that my hair flew upwards. (Imagine that! LOLX!)
So perhaps, today when I stepped out, my powder already GONE WITH THE WIND. kekekekx~
Overall, I like this loose powder because of the slight cooling effect it gives plus the main point is that it doesn't make my face looks super white. ^.^

♣♣♣

The other product I hauled from Korea (See HERE for all the stuffs I bought) is this...
ETUDE HOUSE VIP Girl Dear Darling Lips in PK008 7500won: ~ SGD$8.80
Super cheap eh? =D In addition, the casing is SOOoOooo cute! And when I turn the lippie out, immediately I "AWWwwwwww~" Such sweet pink shade! ^^ It kinda reminds me of Mac Viva Glam Lady Gaga Lipstick (which till now, I still havent buy!), but this seems to look cooler, like Pink 4 Friday. I think I still prefer Viva Glam Lady Gaga because I prefer warm tone pinks.

Yesterday (CNY Day 2)  I used these 2 lippies. Mainly, i use It's Skin #05 for lining, and Etude house for filling the lips.

Swatches of both lippies

On my lips, both look ALMOST similar. As I have pigmented lips, some how the swatch on my lips will turn out different from what I swatched on my hand and it might also be different from others who swatch on their lips.
Sorry for the confusion (^^"), basically the idea is that, if I want to achieve an accurate swatch, I would need to apply concealer on my lips first, before swatching the lipstick. As for here, I didn't do it because I wanted to test whether they are pigmented enough to cover my pigmented lips. And infact, they do!

Left with Etude House lippie, Right with It's Skin

Review of ETUDE HOUSE VIP Girl & It's Skin Color Play I Black Jewel Lip Rouse:
ETUDE HOUSE VIP Girl Dear Darling Lips PK008: Pigmented, smooth & easy to apply on lips. However it will look streaky if I run it over a few times. As my lips have lots of wrinkles (Oh NO! >_<;) the lippie gets trapped in between lines and its quite obvious. It accentuate the lines & wrinkles even more if I keep on applying the lippie. But usually for such cases, I will top it with lip gloss to solve the problem. ^^ Overall, I quite like the shade and would still want to continue using it so long I'm still into the BARBIE PINK phrase. lolx~

It's Skin Color Play I Black Jewel Lip Rouse #05 Love Pink: I love this coral pink shade! I never regret for grabbing this during my trip to KL, it was kind of a random buy as I just wanted to own ANY 1 THING (or maybe 2 or more) from IT'S SKIN. Lolx~
I use this as a lip liner and also as a base to conceal my pigmented lips. The pigments doesn't trap in between the wrinkles or lines, hence my lips look smooth when I smile. (unlike ETUDE HOUSE's) The only problem is that it's quite drying, so I need to be careful not to use this when I have crack/peeling lips.
And another thing which I don't like is that this lippie had to be sharpened. I'm super lazy when it comes to such thing.kekex~

Review of CooperVision Biofinity & Encore Colours Contact Lens:
Before the Chinese new year, I bought a few pair of lenses so that I can see my relative faces clearer. lolx!
I bought CooperVision Biofinity contact lenses for ~$55 & Encore Colours for ~$20 (I forgot exactly how much), got OPTI-FREE solution as gift.
All I can say about these 2 lenses is, they SUCK.
CNY Day 1, I worn Biofinity for whole day. When I got home, my eyes are like so dry. I almost bang my head to the wall because the lenses STICK on my eyeball and it wouldn't bulge! I poured solution into my eyes but the lenses just stick to my eyes like suction pads. I had to SLOWLY scrap the lens off from one eye, and for the other, I used finger to push it outside of my cornea (or iris) forcefully to the white area and then pinched it out.
CNY Day 2, I worn Encore Colours lenses for 6 hours. Immediately the moment I put on, my eyes feel irritated. But I keep telling myself not to focus on the lenses otherwise, it'll be much more irritated x 2. However, I had to keep blinking when I am in the Air-conditioned place and at some parts, it stings bad which make me tear & ruin my eyeliner. At about the 2nd hour, my eyes already turned red.

I thought it was either my eyes or the contact lenses solution that was the problem. I probably will give the lenses a try again when I find an opportunity to do so. I wouldn't want to risk my eyes wearing such lenses for the whole day (like at work or shopping), I might just test them out again for just an hour at home in both air-condition room and outdoor, so to understand what exactly is the cause. I just hope I didn't get any dry eye syndrome or something. (≥⌂≤")

~ HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TO ALL!! ^ῷ^ ~

Hereby presenting all the Guan Yin Ma who just descended to earth~ Lolx!
CNY Day 1, I didn't plan what to wear like last year, so I just grab whatever I can find, mix & match them at the last min. I only intend to wear the rainbow dotted tights which I bought during my KL trip on last year Dec. Its really super pretty in real life! ^^ Reminds me of mermaid cos of the colourful scales... or something like that ^.^"
Guan Yin Ma OOTD:

YEAH NEW SHOES & BAG for the CNY!!~
I don't really wear wedges but this reddish orange pair from Charles & Keith ($49.90) has quite comfy soft leather material hence I convinced myself to get it, since the wedges are also not those bulky kind. The bulky or thick wedges will make me look like I have super big feet with super skinny legs. =p
The one on the right in camel & denim is from Mondo. Bought it on offer $34.90 ^^
Now that I see, both are like of the same height.. When I wear them, I'm like 180cm+~ ^_^"
I gotten a Charles & Keith bag too @ $69.90. (sadly no discounts on the items i purchased even though they put up a big big SALE sign outside the store :\) I think the bag is their newest arrival which I can't even find it in the C&K website. =_+ Anyhoo, i totally love this bag! ^^

On December, Na & I purchased stuffs from Korea through the help of Amber *muacks!* *\(~.^)
Below shows the purchases for me ALONE! Cost about $170 in total... phew!~ [ $ ] flys*

Of all, I'm most excited for the below items...
ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Volumer #1 15000won: ~ SGD$17.70
ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Loose Powder #1 12000won: ~ SGD$14.10
I'd watched a youtube video (by hover) talking about this product awhile back, so I'm pretty curious to how it actually works.
More Nymph Aura series details HERE.

As some of you already know, when you watch Kdrama/ Kmovie/ Kpop shows you see most of the artists having super smooth & glowy face. At times I wonder did they did too much plastic surgery that their faces shines like plastic? hahax!
Or do they really own a super smooth face that it can reflect lights at all angles? It kind of make me feel envious of their nice glowy skin.  I have glowy skin too when my skin starts pumping oil to surface but its only at my T-zone area. *pouts* (⌐^⌐)

ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Volumer Packaging, Ingredients & Swatches:
So much different kinds of oil in the ingredients, i'm afraid that its comedogenic. I got to check through each and every one of the ingredients to know if this product is non-comedogenic.

On CNY Day 1, I played with Nymph Aura Volumer.
The swatches on my hand, were taken after I got home (Not the one I use on my face). 1 volumer to 3 BB cream means 1:3 ratio. The BB cream has to be 3/4 times bigger area than the volumer you pump out, so that your BB cream mix would not be too oily.
And as for the 4 boxes pic that shows my cheek, I forgot to say that the upper row is before I apply Volumer. The bottom row is with a little volumer.

Review of ETUDE HOUSE Nymph Aura Volumer:
The good side is that it did gives slight glow on my skin, not the kind that sebum pumps up from the pores, but more to the healthy glowy kind. For the whole day my face seems to be quite nice to me (Maybe my skin is on CNY mood? lolx~). It didn't pump sebum, hence I need not blot and the slight glowy look is still there till I reach home. I didn't even touch up my face, it seems like its been moisturised well, hence my skin didn't produce sebum to replenish the dry skin surface.
The bad side is, I think it doesn't suit my type of skin. =(
I find by making my face look glowy also accentuate my large pores and those tiny bumps that are all over my face, esp the area between my eyes & nose. The volumer doesn't look very bad nor that good on my type of skin, but it can still be used maybe once awhile for a change, if I feel like it.
I would however recommend the dry skin (with tiny pores) people to try this volumer! I think it will make them look very much like those Korean stars, with super smooth & healthy glowy skin! ^_^

Thanks for reading! Hope all of you had a great day on your CNY Day 1!~ ^o^

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)
