Daily Dressup Shots

AHA!! Gotcha!! (Peeking at bikini)!! XD~ Doesn't this bikini look sexy?
Though I'm into fashion, but Bikinis are definitely out of my wardrobe! (even though I did wore once... but I wore it for noone to see except a few tourists in that country.. muahahax.. Anyways, there is absolutely NOTHING to see lah! *peeks inside my tee* sigh~)
BTW this bikini is from BOSSA NOVA (Brazilian brand bikinis). They are one of the sponsor for the FORD Models: Supermodel of the World Singapore

Think of bikini, you will think of Swimming Pools & Beaches... Look at this nice large pool!!! Even though I duno how to swim, I still feel like jumping into the water! XD~

And more bikinis from BOSSA NOVA!!~ Check out the stack of coupons.. hahhax~ Woops! =X

Ok ok, lets come back to the event after drooling on those sexy models and bikinis.. hahax~

Back on May 20, I was invited to FORD Models media event happening at Spaboutique, together with Na and Ah ru. We get to see behind the scenes at a top international modeling competition. At the event we also get to see how Singapore's top 12 Ford Supermodel finalists prepare for the finals and meet the people in charge of getting them prepared for the final event.

On that day, we saw many familiar faces bloggers from Onsugar!! And for the first time, I met Joey! ^^
What's an event without FOOD???~ They look nice and yummy! But I was like too full on that day, so I din touch them at all, but I knew Ah ru ate.. kekex~

The TALL (need to emphasize that, sorry =p) models standing around drinking something out of a black can... We were all curious, we went over and took a can too! Check out the cool black can design! OMG, I must tell ya'all! ITS VERY NICE!!! Frizzy BERRY drink! Love it! Especially when drank during this crazy hot weather! PHEW!~ (I must emphasize on the BERRY as well, cos I totally hate drinking and eating anything BERRIES! Like strawberry, blackberry, raspberry.. But this drink, its NICE! haha!)
This can of drink is call the 28 Black by CALIDRIS 28. I recommend you guys to try it!! ^.^

And here stands the 10 models (Hmm.. where did the other 2 go?) Infact, base on Ah Ru's post, there should only be 11 finalists.. I wonder why they mentioned 12 to me.. typo? hahax~

Again, What's an event without GOODIES???~ There are so many that they need to put some under the table? ^^"

While waiting for the makeup demo to start, we all went to Spaboutique to explore!~ Its really look nice and cozy, but mind you, it is SUPER HOT in there! And Kas keep faning herself while we were inside.. lolx~

Finally the speakers & makeup artists are ready to start. Introduction was done by Colleen Francisca, National Director of FORD Models Supermodel of the World Singapore.
First up, Makeup Demo!! One by one, the models went up to have their eye makeup drawn by Sunita Pong (I assume this is her name, because Ah Ru said so. =p~ Sorry, I'm really very bad in remembering people names! I got goldfish brain..)

During the makeup demo, the MUA said that we need not use the same e/s colour to match with our contact lens. (Like Brown e/s with Brown lens) That is a NO-NO. Because it would make everything so blended together that people can't really see where your eyes are! (She din say that, its just what I feel Lolx~)
Hence if you are wearing coloured lens, you should use contrast colours and colours with similar tone but not the SAME colour. For example, Brown lens with Bronze to match or can contast with Purple/Green. Black lens with Silver/Gray/Blue, and so on...
And... check out the Palettes that the MUA uses at bottom of the pic! =D NAKED Palette~

Next, the model's personal trainer! I learnt alot of stuffs from him! Talking about how to loose/gain weight, how to maintain and how we should break down our usual 3 meals into many small meals a day so we could be able to control & keep track of our calorie intakes. VERY Interesting! ^^ I hope one day I have my own personal trainer who teaches me hot to loose my tummy and build up my assets! Hahhax! =p~

Next off, a speaker from Beaute Claire. Presenting 3 products - Derma matrice serum (Anti-wrinkle), SkinCleanser Detox (Spray on) and DermaBeaute Anti-Wrinkle Capsule.
SkinCleanser Detox is a very special product where it can get rid of 99.9% of bacteria (P.acnes) which was the one that causes acne - within 30 seconds without harming healthy cells. It could be consumed too! (at a small amount, by just spraying 1-2 times into your mouth) We 'eURRHh!!' at the speaker when he did that. Lolx!~
At start, I find that the detox spray scent was too overwhelming. It smelt very much like citrus but later found out it also smell like Axe Brand Medicated Oil.. 斧标驱风油 Hhaha~ However after using it many times, I got used to that Medicated oil scent.. ^^"

After the talk was over, we took pictures! ^_^ This my first time meeting Charlene! She's sho cute and fun to talk to!! And look at this gold hair super giant standing among them! (It's me lah!! kekex..)
I also invited Lenne to this event too! Look at us both, sho sweet ^^~ hehex~

And a group pic of the onsugarettes together with Catherine (In magenta-purple dress ^^)~
Kapok from Ah ru's blog who kapok from Minru's blog (Kapok lai Kapok qu~ ^^~)

Here is my OOTD & LOTD for the FORD Models event. Its sho hot a weather that day, I had to turn on my fan to take a shot of my face at home! But YEAH~ to flying hair! It looks nicer than the usual LOTD pics, doesn't it? ^.^

And same goes to my poor pretty heels.. Its been a long time since I last wear this heels, apparently the humidity plays a part in accessories and shoes maintenance. With the high moisture level in my storage room, all my shoes and heels spoil really fast.
I wonder now, to buy new heels, or to mend this current one... =\ (I'm still keeping this heels, cos I love it very much!)

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

I had been wanting a tall mirror (long enough to see myself in the reflection) for the longest time ever, but always never did get any from IKEA because they do not have a simple standing mirror. Most designs are required to be mounted on wall.

While I was at Tampines Courts 2 weeks earlier, I saw this mirror and immediately my eyes SPARKLESSSssss!!!~~~~ Simple, sleek, occupy very minimum area and.. very heavy! The stand is strong enough to withstand the mirror weight hence I'm not worried the mirror's gonna fall back. ^^ I got this for $59!~

So what do I need the mirror for? Basically, for me to wear my shoes and decide which one to match with my outfit, and do a last check or take a picture of myself before I head out! Just like the below pic. kekex~~ ^o^ I'm wearing the WTF top!~ =p

Do i look like gay boy from a boy band? =p

I'm lemming on the eye cream for quite sometime and went to Talika's site to read more, then I suddenly forgotten all about it.. Now it make me want to buy it again! From reading the brochures, I've known that there is a product specially for dark eye circles, called the Eye Detox Contour Gel. $110 for 5ml! omg~
Eye dream which is not for dark circles, is only $90 for 15ml.
Now I duno which to buy... =_=

miwitch's REVIEW of Talika Lipocils Expert in 12 days (27 Sept - 8 Oct)

Close-up shots of Lipocils Expert applicator.
I used the sponge tip to go all over the roots of my upper and lower lashes and then brush my lashes in upwards motion (for upper lash only) with the brush.

In order to acheive the best comparisons of the lashes in photos, I took all photos in the same room, same lighting, same method using same camera.
However position of my eye might differ in every pic, the camera don't focus well at times and the photo brightness will be a little different too.
Plus, its EYELASH we're talking here, not a big object like TV or something... That would have been easier to shoot!
I'm sorry but my lashes are thin, not very long and full. So its very hard for me to focus the lashes easily without proper lighting and camera... >_< So this is the best I could provide.

Before you judge the product effectiveness base on my pictures and texts, please note the following:
- I try my best to use Lipocils Expert every Day & Night, but sometimes I forgot to apply either on the day or night but I DID apply it everyday.
- I feel that I have denser and longer lashes on my right eye than my left
- I have very droopy eyelids, which causes the lashes at most outer corner sometimes wandering into my eye, poking it.
- I have almost none (U_U") lower lashes, they are very thin & short and can even be counted using 10 fingers! (or maybe 20..)
- I have super sensitive eyes (super meaning is more than 'very'). Anything that goes into my eyes, I will tear buckets.
- The white part of my eyes are usually pinkish looking on normal days. Anything that hurts or stings my eyes, it will go bloody red.
And hence, I find that I'm rather a good subject for trying out a lash serum, I just hope I wont go BLIND trying out things on my eyes.. +_+"

On with the pics:
I PSed only the white parts as they are too scary looking, and I've sharpened alittle on the lashes for a clearer view.

Here, I try to spot the difference using the photos.
Infact, on the 3rd day (ie, 29 Sept) I already realised that my lashes are thicker!
Everyone like long lashes, but I DO NOT like the lashes at my outer corner of my eyes to be too long cos it will poke my eye sometimes due to my droopy eyelids. =( And then I will tear...

*Sorry for spelling mistake for Curlier (i spelt curvier.. hahax~ =p)

Whether the lashes are curlier than last time, I think they are but verrrrrrrrrrrrry little. I forgotten to take a sideview pic on first day to compare with this. *slaps head*
I have rather stubborn straight thin lashes as like my stubborn straight thin hair, so they are very hard to curl with curlers, I had to press the curler like 20 times in order to get them stay in shape before I apply mascara. Nowadays I find that its much more easier as they will stay at the curled shape for quite long even without putting on mascara!

Lastly and MOST IMPORTANTLY, this Lipocils Expert DOES NOT STING my eyes AT ALL! *YIPPE!!!!!!!!!!*
When I apply it just right at the base or roots of my lashes without the content going into my eye, I feel NOTHING! No sting!
But when the content goes into my eye, it stings verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyy little. I just blinked a few times and then its gone! I might tear a little due to the discomfort the little sting gave, but after awhile its ok. ^_^
I jus LOVE the feeling of no sting in compare to my DHC eyelash serum where it stings even when the gel is like a few mm away from my eyes.

This is only a 12-day efficacy test. We are suppose to come out with a 28-days efficacy test for Lipocils Expert.
I came out with the test earlier cos I haven't got time to post about the bloggers event last month. So, I thought I might as well post a 12 day first as a teaser or something. More like I wanted to know the results myself. =p
Hang on to your pants! I'll be back with the 28-days test review! (^,~)v♥
