Hello! Before I get to the review, I need to take pictures! I'm soooooooooooo excited to do this review! I hardly am! [You know, it's not exactly easy to churn up an entry!] Before I get to talk more about today, a shoutout to Karmun, thanks for your awesome cookies! You really made and brought for me! Touched~
& Thanks Lily for this~
So about today. I was at Vivocity today to meet Jaden for dinner [I was extremely late] and collect the CD and stuff from BABW HFC. Angie happened to get off work so we left the store together~ she recommended me to try the newly opened bubble tea shop. One that she cannot stop spazzing about. So I thought, what's the hype~ Turns out it was really awesome!
Shop Name: Gong Cha
Verdit: I swear that Gong Cha is SO MUCH NICER THAN KOI. I rather queue for this than Koi. shorter queue plus more variety and taste totally AWESOME. Everyone go ditch Koi and grab your Gong Cha now! Adding Brown Sugar Jelly to it was the best best best best BEST CHOICE I MADE. Okay enough about it, I was too happy drinking it that I forgot to take a snapshot of it.
Then we went to the Estee Lauder road show to grab the skincare products (ex)boss needs. She spent pretty much & had a 8 pc gift set and bag. she gave me the lippie inside~ A great big shoutout [which she probably will never see] to my lovely boss Angie for the Gong Cha treat & the estee lauder Lippie. <3
Next, we head over to Chanel & Mac to take a look at the new range [which, by the way, is really awesome and pretty, especially the MAC Tartan] (ex)boss was very amazed and curious about brushes~ So I brought her down to Watsons at Vivocity! Oh yes, I said I said I am gonna avoid that evil place because I always spend money right? But today I went there because I wanted to introduce my exboss to the Ecotools brush which I totally LOVE and can't live without them now!
Dollywink! They are back in Watsons, this time at Vivocity! Dollywink at Watsons in October/November, awesome right! [I'm not sure if they have it at NAC though, going town tomorrow, will update] When I saw it earlier on, there were just 3 boxes of Dolly Sweet [No.2] and 1 box of Baby Cute [No.6], as well as 1 last tube of Dolly Eyelash Fix. I almost bought that but reminded myself I got my lashgrip recently and yet to even start using it. Also, the other Japanese brands at Kawaii Corner like Sana, Heavy Rotation, Heroine Kiss me, Canmake, Kate, etc~ are well stocked! Other regular drugstore brands like L'oreal, Maybelline, Revlon, Bonjouris are there too (: I took a picture!
Might have been here some time since so little stocks are left?
alright I shall go take the pictures quickly and get rid of all the makeup. Doubt they are helping my dying skin by staying there -_-
*Serra Melliesh 01 ドール Doll Review*
Lashes in limelight:
Both Eyes:
Upper Lashes: Serra Melliesh 01 - ドール Lower Lashes: Dolly Wink No.5 - Real Nude [You can see how bad and painful/dry my skin is. Everyone ask me if I had sunburn on my face. No I DID NOT!]
Left Eye:
Right Eye:
Side View:
Closed Eye View [sorry shaky hands]:
Visual Easy Rating for Serra Melliesh 01 - ドール Doll*:
Volume (7/10) - This pair I am using is going for a natural look, thus don't expect too much from it volume wise. But I felt it looked really natural and compatible with the pathetic amount of makeup I had for the day since my skin is in a pretty bad condition.
Length (lash strands) [8.5/10] - Long and light! I thought the length was able to satisfy me~ Long but not too overwhelming since this pair is a "light wear" kinda lash. [About Texture will be below]
Length (lash band) [9/10] - Long long long! Just like dolly wink, the length of lashes band allowed me to create a long tail at the end, making my eyes look longer than it really is! I really love making this effect since I have such small eyes!
Ease of Application [9/10] - It's so easy, you wouldn't believe it. I think it's a draw between dolly wink & this. I really can't decide.
Comfort [9/10] - It felt like it wasn't there. Like it's part of my lashes. Yes, that amazing! Super comfy, does not poke/irritate my eyes nor vision!
Reusability [9/10] - YES! I was a little rough with removing the glue just now [accidentally of course, you know how much I treasure my lashes?!] and THANKFULLY, nothing came off the lash band! Easy enough to peel the glue off after soaking in water for 5 minutes!
Price [8/10] - For what I am getting, I think it's worth every single cent.
Overall Rating: 9.25/10
*Duo eyeshadows from hip series made me want to do a gold x dirty blue look. Also because I am trying to console myself for being unable to join the Hip-notizing lo'real contest on time..... $%$^$&%*
I think this is probably the most natural looking pair of lash I have used so far! Extremely lightweight and comfortable, the texture totally blew me away! The lashes are SO, SO, SO SOFT. I think it's real hair [supposingly.] But the fact is that, YES, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN TEXTURE. Ahh~ I can just touch it all day you know~ I really adore it! I think it matched really well with my Dolly Wink Real Nude lower lash too! I did not use another pair of Serra bottom lash because it was arranged all the way inside my cupboard and I was in a rush, thus lazy to take it out and rearrange everything xD I can use the same pictures for Real Nude review too, so I will probably do it tomorrow or something. Too tired now to do it, I fell asleep before completing this post, I purposely kept myself upright to finish this entry!
Lastly, something random & Cute that I managed to capture~
like crazy! ARGH. No idea what happened, but it burns whenever i wash it even with water. Super painful, sigh. skin keeps peeling.... whole face patchy with redness. You know how obvious redness is when my face is not exactly dark eh?
One word.
PAINFUL T.T
I need to see a doc, no idea what's wrong. I'm suspecting it could be the mask I used some day ago, because there is totally no change in my routine! Been long since I used the mask, maybe it's that....... Hopefully it's that, because if it's food allergy, I'm dead. I LOVE TO EAT! T.T
When I wash my face, it burns when water is dripping down and evaporating. But when I stop the flow of water on my face, it burns even more. When I dry it, it doesnt burn that bad BUT the drying part is BAD. Because my face is so painful T.T Touching it hurts soooooooooooo bad.
The only good part about this? I am not breaking out despite this. PHEW.
My face feels so tight that if I move a muscle, my skin might break. GAHHHHH. How to go work like this, you tell me? Don't put any makeup, whole face patches of pale x red irritated skin with makeup, even skin but the wrath comes when I use makeup remover. Makeup remover = I MUST use cleanser to clean mu face. Which means my face will burn even worser. ............................. I am in a lose-lose situation.
Oh yes, went to Arthouse earlier on. Had this car show thingy at timbre area. Free booze and food, what more can I ask for? I finally found a beer I like; Erdiner Beer! Thanks to gin for the recommendation, ahahah. And I had my Chivas coke too~ The cake was nice, so was the mochi~ If only they had ichigo daifukuuuuuuuuu <3 Feeling the alcohol blasting in my head, so I told Gin to leave me alone and catch the train, afraid she will miss it. Rested at the bus stop awhile before walk back from art house to mrt to bus back.
Anyway, more shots with my Canon powershot G12. Sorry it's been pretty blah this week. I've been wanting to do my other eyelash review, but yet to find the time to wear them and take pictures. Will do it tomorrow <3 mummy bought this yesterday to make me happy, and bought watermelon today too cheer me up tooooooooo. ILH
Magnum gold! I love this~
It's GOLD! [you can see maki-chan staring in the background]
Chocolatey on the outside, caramel & vanila on the inside! [miki & kiki joined in!]
Cute! [no maki, it's mine no matter how hard you stare.]
No I have NEVER EVER REBONDED MY HAIR BEFORE. Sorry I merely slapped on bb cream to minimise the cleaning so my skin will not burn THAT LONG. Even using the remover will make it burn. Cleansing after removing = burn x 2.
I love my natural straight hair~
Looking at it again, no wonder people think that way~
See how bad my skin is? Red and irritated.
Must show off my beats.
Jealous? Go buy yours at $700
Oh yes, you can have nice pretty hair like mine! Try Liese cocktail & Essentials Serum!
Oh yes, I was suprised by an sms from Juanita this afternoon. Regarding some build a bear workshop visual stuff that needs me to edit for em. Was contemplating not to do it [Because I feel exploited in a way... Monetary & emotion wise. I just can't reject people, especially since they have not exactly been mean or nasty to me.] But well, I accepted it. -_- me and my problem with rejections never go away eh? Just like how I never reject people, merely avoid and hint.
Volume (9.5/10) - The volume is just amazing! I was a little afraid to wear it our after putting it on, but because I was running late, I just left the house. I had 2 people from the shops I visited asking me if they were eyelash extensions! That made me ultra happy ^^
Length (lash strands) [9/10] - From the side view picture, you can see how long it is and how it curls by itself. I really love that! Saves me alot of trouble thinking of how to curl my falsies~
Length (lash band) [8/10] - Like the other diamond lash, it fits my eyes snuggly and with the transparent lash band, I can't ask for more.
Ease of Application [8/10] - Easy to use! It takes me a mere 10 second or so to put it onto each eye! But that could also be because I'm quite used to putting falsies by now~ x.x
Comfort [7/10] - Seeing how long and thick they are, I think you can expect this coming. While it is not exactly heavy, it did make my eyes tired after long hours of wear. It's not a hindrance to me during wear, but when I get home after the long day, I want to peel them off right away as the tiredness incurred from the day out makes me more conscious about the weight and they suddenly feel very heavy [albeit unfair judgement though.]
Reusability [7/10] - Like any other lash of such, it requires much care and patience in peeling the glue off after use. The wrong dose of strength can result in tragedy. Other than that, I don't see problems with lash dropping off the bunch. Used it 4 or 5 times so far and I still don't get any problems with it.
Price [8.5/10] - It's incredibly cheap for something you see on EGG/ what many models love/ many japanese like.
Overrall Rating: 8.5/10
*hardly any eye makeup left, but when using them I will recommend less intense makeup around your face as the lashes really helps the eyes to scream for attention and thus you don't want to go too heavy on other parts of your face or you end up too loud.*
Hope that was helpful in some way! I found a place that sells the whole collection of the light pink and blue trays... T.T Shoot me someone. I will NOT buy it till next year at least, I promise. I need to learn not to give in to temptations...
Oh yes, check out the mini spooktacular post below! (:
Well, I figured I might actually forget about it all together. Decided to grab the piccies from Gin's ,Kelly's and Angie's blog first. (:
More more more will be up when Gin is free to upload all and send me! And very very importantly, a big thanks to Gin for inviting me to go to this fun event with her!
This is the ghost that kept screaming [Also a poster ghost, like poster girl yea?] I saw her taking the escalator somemore! Looked almost like she was floating down xD
I look confused. And very tired.
Blurry~
Geisha covering my face for me~
preparing to go into The Cursed Island.
We had to be "cuffed" together
This taoist ghost so cute, ahahah! I saw him sitting on floor doing the kid whining + kicking move! He gets shy if you touch him~
Peranakan couple?
This ghost was chasing a poor girl around the square~
The busy ghost whom many wanted to take picture with. She could barely move through the crowd. 1 step = 1 person approach for pictures.
Hi, that's my boyfriend.
That's all I have here ): I had a pretty good time there~ Personally, I felt the first 2 stops were the best! The Cursed Island allowed us to take shots! That was also the only stop that allowed us to do so~
Haunted Asylum was the first stop whereby we really had anticipation of what we will experience without all the camera flashes to warn us of the oncoming adventure! There were a few pretty awesome tomfoolery they pulled which caught me! I shall not spoil it for people who intend to go (:
By the time we got to the Dead or Alive Wax Museum, I was getting tired and annoyed. Mainly because of the long queue, which made me sweaty and sticky... And it was getting late too~ I felt bad about it because I kinda ignored a ghost that tapped on my shoulder to try to scare/ perk me up while I simply brushed her off by looking at her and ignoring her, turning away T.T
I'm sorry, whichever ghost you are.
Tiger tower was the last one we went and I kinda enjoyed that. Air con, god bless. It was a good few minutes of relaxing and enjoying the view from high up!
If you are interested to visit, it is a good experience. I think their makeup was awesome. Just so you know, online tickets are all SOLD OUT. So head down and grab your tickets fast if you want to go for it! Visit their website for more teasers and information!
I'm hoping to go to the one at night safari too~ Qilulu said there's one handsome ghost there. I wonder~
After seeing it online and falling in love with it, I bought it.
Yes, just like that. Like buying groceries in a supermarket without much thought. I really ought to shoot myself in the head, right at my temples. Anyone will do me the favour?
Anyway, I really wanted to do my diamond lash review today but since I got the new camera, I shall just post some pictures of it and take new pictures for the review with that! Killing 2 birds with 1 stone, review both the camera and the lashes ^^
Give me an hour while I read the manual and upload the pictures alright? Meanwhile, here are some pictures of the camera taken using my phone!
Free casing!
Leather pouch (:
Ahh~
And Karmun told me Chocolate Schu Bar posted my blog post on their Facebook wall!
Just thought you should know, the pair of boots I bought from Chocolate Schu bar is really my favourite pair of boots ever so far.
Some pictures I took at the spooktacular. Since I didn't bring camera and no one sent me any, here are some pathetic shots from my phone ._.
The pass is adorable~ ME(dia)!
Also, met gin yesterday, passed her her slippers.
I look pale and sickly. Forgot to slap on blusher.
Bought this because Gin recommended. But I didn't really like it T.T
Tasted funny, wonder if it is because of my throat? It's itchy again. Gotta drink lots of water and take good care of my throat~
I rushed down to Vivo yesterday to get the build a bear for evon & her Bf. Finally my discount comes into use, heh. Everyone should have a build a bear! (: I was too busy talking to Angie that I forgot to take pictures~
Oh yes, today I went out with qilulu & val. My virgin experience at Carl's Jr! I know right! The place has been out in SG so long ago but I have never tried it before~ I even tried Wendy's before but not Carl's Jr!
qilulu acting shy
Tired.
It's expensive for fast food~
Oh no, the thick thick layer of bread skin...
Much better!
Alright I am gonna go read the camera manual now so I can get the stuff installed right and upload the pictures I took with them! Bought a little something from tonymoly too but the picture is in the camera... shall post it later <3
Here! I'm done with charging the battery pack. Some photos I took with the G12 using my amateur skills. I forgot which mode for what photo. I was too busy smiling and playing around with the different settings! I did not try all the scenes, like kids, sports, foilage.
Vivid colour
Forgot what is this
Either one of these 2 is nostalgic.
This one allows you to choose what colour stays the way it is while everything else turns into black & white.
Up to 20x Digital, still pretty clear (Which really impressed me)
^you see, maki chan was asking for her butt to be shot :x
The free cover that I saw some malicious owners selling. It is supposed to come free with the camera and NOT FOR SALE. Don't get cheated people! Those of you interested to get a camera, visit: Funan Mall Level 2, Alan Photo Trading. I recommend buying from the store I went to because it is the cheapest as well as nice people~ I was their last customer of the day ^^ Just note that they only take cash payment~ Makes things a whole lot easier.
& what I bought from tony moly earlier with val taken with Canon Powershot G12
It's a really pretty shade of pink!
It's getting late, got to work tomorrow~ ^^ have a good night everyone~ I shall continue being excited about my camera and eyelashes~
The video screwed up! So I gotta do another one tonight~ Rushing off to Arcadia now, just wanted to quickly upload some piccies to show you guys something I've been asked way too often.
"How many pairs of lashes do you have?" "How many pairs do you want to buy?!"
Well... This is all I have now.
Not alot ;O I just got my Melliesh!
So now these are what I have~
Dolly wink
Serra Melliesh
Eyemazing
Diamond Lash purple
Diamond Lash Pink [more flying over~]
Canmake [the lone ranger]
I'm running late darlings! Back at night to blog (:
Hello ladies! [I don't think any guy reads my blog anyway]
Thanks for sunsun tiff for the heads up, as well as Karmun for reminding me to visit my favourite john little, I got these!
Now before you jump on me asking why am I buying so much, it's because they are: 1. Made in Korea
2. Awesome quality - super soft!
3. On promotion, 6 packs [150pc/pk] for only $8! Original price?
Tell me, how can I resist?
I got mine at Plaza Singapura's John Little! However, mine were the last 6 packs! The lady went to the store to dig the last 4 packs for me, adding to the displayed 2 packs = 6 packs! ^^ So if you want to grab them, head down to other John Little! Tiff says that the one at Marina still has stock! Happppppy!
Some other stuff I bought today. BREAD!
Bought a few for breakfast for mimi and myself tomorrow too. But I think I might gobble them up by tonight?
Dark chocolates! Oh my love for them!
It's 72%! I wanted to grab 85% ones, but afraid I might not know how to savour it. Let's just get used to 72% first ^^
Hair dye... If you've seen my facebook, I've finally decided!
I wanted to grab sparkling blonde again, but Karmun told me to try this instead. Actually, I wanted the one Yui Kanno was on the package, but because my hair is really long, I need 2 packs and that one was only left with one last pack. Gahh. I'm gonna go dye now, check back later to see the effect? Kekeke.
Oh and and, Thanks to Lina for lending her Crimp iron & Curler to me! I tried them yesterday~
Oh so pretty right! And no, I did not forget what I went PS for. Didn't manage to find any halloween stuff. So I shall stick to being a bunny. But I did buy a pair of mittens/ glove [for children].
Well I could fit in so... why not?
I'm a mutant bunny, 'nuff said.
Okay getting late! I'm gonna dye my hair now and further damage my hair! But thankfully, I have the Liese and Essentials sponsored to "save" them!
Later pretty ladies! Oh yes, check the entry below on Biore! At the end of the Biore entry, you can redeem FREE SAMPLES for them! Yes, ABSOLUTELY FREE (: What are you waiting for?
*Update* FML. I bought 2 pack this time and I only needed 1 pack! I think the last time when I used sparkling blonde, I was too generous with the usage, thus not enough for whole head... Now I'm stuck with a brand new pack! & I don't dye same hair colour in a row! I shall try to ask them if I can bring down to NAC Watsons to change for the highly raved tofu sponge for make up... Then I can review about something else xD
A. A long day working, reaching home at late hours B. Clubbing the whole night, coming home during wee hours either: i) Drunk ii) Sleepy iii) Lost C. A whole day of fun with friends D. Enjoying the process of putting on makeup. E. Whatever reason there is.
Well, I know I almost always feel that way! Lazy bones, ahhh.
So just like any other day, I came home with full make up, too tired and move a muscle. After changing into my comfy sleep wear...
It struck me that:
I am so tired that I want to *plok* on my bed and sleep!
Can I just sleep without removing them? But the wrath~
I don't think so...
Ahh...
Ah ha!
I can use the Biore sheets!
I don't even have to pour anything on cotton~
A closer look into the Biore Cleansing Oil-in-cotton!
Open up the back to refill~
How the refill pack looks like!
Using the sheets, I managed to remove everything on my face! Blush, foundation, gel liner, liquid liner, etc. Even stubborn water proof mascara! I was a little skeptical about it being able to even remove mascara, but I was pleasantly suprised! (: It does not sting my face after use nor leave me with a very oily feeling on my face. Refer to video at the end of entry!
Looks a little like baby potty from this view...
LOVE <3
But at times, I'm lazy to cleanse my face after removing make up too~
Oh yes, there is!
Biore Hydra Clear!
This ia an awesome water based make up remover! I like how gentle it is. The claim of being able to remove water proof mascara has been tested by yours truly and yes, it really works like a charm! I was not convinced upon reading the description at first, because I always felt that the furthest a water based makeup remover can do is just eyeliner. But what do you know, it did as it claimed! One of the biggest drawback of using mascara for me is that it needs oil based remover to get rid of it and I often fall asleep after using make up remover. Leaving oil based remover on your face is definitely not smart. Thank god for this great product! [See video at end of post]
Sleep right after my makeup is removed!
Not to forget, there is also the oil based eye & lip remover!
Shake it to mix well for use!
The Remover works just as it should! Mascara, no problem. Lip concealer, gloss; no sweat! It is gentle and does not have the oily feeling lingering on my skin! Just a gentle swipe and much comes off! For better result, hold the cotton with the remover on the area you want to use it for about 3-5 seconds before swiping it off (: [See video at end of post]
Now we don't have to worry about the hassle or make up removing anymore!
Lastly, a video of me using the products. This is to strengthen my claims!
Oh yes, the crazy make up is because I wanted to show how effective the products are, heh ._.
Here I am, stuck. Spooktacular is on friday. So is the L'oreal prize presentation. HOW?
You tell me.
T.T
Oh yes, I had chicky rice for dinner. Yea, it wasn't until I was halfway through that I realised I am eating chick again. I know right...... me and my love for ddak(s).
I'm currently cracking my head for the Liese advert. Just after I've finally gotten an idea for Biore. Gahhh. *slaps myself*
Oh yes, looking forward to long weekend for Deepavali (: & suddenly, all my spree organisers/ sellers are going MIA. *Puppy eyes* I want my things. NAO.
):
Nothing awesome happened today, I'm sorry for being ridiculously boring. Watch out for the Biore review to be posted later!
