The Ugly Duckling
I'm sure everyone [almost] read the story, yes?
I'm not exactly that ugly duckling though, because I am not a swan now.
But you know, the gist is there and thus, the title.

I've done a post with old pictures in the past but I'm sure no one seen it.
Okay, at least whoever that seen it before probably ain't reading my blog now?

A little background story, shall we?
[sorry, I will edit any grammar/ spelling errors at night. I just woke up, it's 8am
now and my brain is trying it's best already.]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So since my primary school days, I haven't been a pretty kid. [Radin Mas 
Primary School]
But, surprise surprise, I was actually very friendly and outgoing.
You know, the kid that goes to you and say
"Hi, my name is xxx, can we be friends?"

I bet TTJ is laughing like mad now.
Okay, actually I bet everyone is.

So, what happened?
Being the "ugly & normal" kid, somehow the popular kids liked to hang out
with me. 
Thus, other classmates hated me, but didn't dare to say it out [you know, for
the fear that the popular kid will ostracise them?]
But I knew.
Sad sad life.

Around Primary 3, there was this one time whereby I had some dispute with 
my friends and over the phone, the 3 or us agree-d to cut off connections with 
each other in school, but the next day the other 2 were happily talking to each 
other at the assembly hall, ignoring me completely.
Turns out it was a trick.

And when Primary 6 came, someone framed me and I got accused of stealing.
Then this girl bullied me very openly throughout my Primary 6 life but no one
stood up to help.
The kind that curse you in the face, in front of the class, push your chair and
stuff like that. Yea, it actually happens.
To look back at it now, it's still a WOW to me.

Thankfully, there were 4 very lovely girls who didn't give a shit about her and
her influence [she had this clique that followed her around and stuff] and so
I eventually graduated Primary 6 with people to call my real friends in my
Primary school life.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Come Secondary school, I was kinda reserved. [CHIJ St Theresa's Convent]
Going into girls' school from a co-ed school was kinda like a big change for me.
But it's probably one of the best decisions I've made.
It moulded me into who I am right now (:
Well, at least it got rid of my shitty command of English.

Okay, stop digressing.
So I was a "odd one out" in class again because almost EVERYONE knew
each other.
Turns out they were mostly from the same Primary School [Kellock]
Somehow, I STILL got into the popular clique.
-_- IKR
and no, I was still an ugly duckling.
Finally time for some picture input?
[I've blurred out everyone but me for all pictures because I haven't been
talking to them since forever so I thought it will be a better idea to do so.
Should any one of them see this and would like me to remove them [despite
the blurred faces -_-], I will remove them]
Yep, the midget on the left is me.

I haven't changed at all T.T
Okay, you get the point yea.
I didn't realise that I was in a popular clique till someone pointed it out to me.
I mean, I don't do things like that intentionally, or try to get attention from
others. It just happens -_-
Maybe because at Sec 1, there were 2 bungs in my clique and that's kinda like
a big thing? I don't know.
I don't choose friends by popularity.
I was approached T.T [starting my "IN THE OWN WORLD" personality]

Yes, I was incredibly tanned.

Why so?
Well... the girl that sat beside me got into the school because of hockey.
So she encouraged me to join.

Playing Hockey for the first time in my life, and getting into the school team when I'm
still in Sec 1 [a complete newbie to top that off], people weren't pleased.
To make the hate worse, I was given the position of centre forward.

Alas... that's when someone decided it will be fun to use my name and go to some
senior's blog to post malicious comments.
So I quitted Hockey in Sec 2 because I felt that many people seemed to be against
me for no reason [I only found out about the blog comment thing in Sec 3]
the caption is because the two on the right just got a hair cut

But even after I quitted hockey, I still had my fair share of drama.

A girl, "C", was eventually deemed as REALLY WEIRD as she kept backstabbing
and badmouthing about everyone of us in the clique [she's kinda outside out clique]
to other members of the same clique.
One fine day, we realised it after randomly talking about it and confronted her in class,
in the middle of the lesson.
I know, so cool right! Like some drama where the teacher gets chucked to one side.
So the teacher had us stop and told us he will give us some time before his period
ends to settle our stuff. [He gave up like 20 minutes of his class time for us]
So after he taught finished his stuff, he tried to shoo other students out of the class
but, well, everyone wanted to see a show so none of them left as instructed.
So yea, we trashed things out in front of her, bitched, blah blah blah.
You know, go watch some dramas and you will get it.

Apparently because I got close to "A" [whom "B" was friends with her
since primary school] and "A" seemed to like me better.
"B" starts underground bitching about me

-_-

It's unclear and a little blur right now but eventually, "A" told some tales about me to 
"B" when "B" confronted her about some stuff. I think, something along the lines of
me bitching about "B" when I didn't.
A month passed and somehow, I got the chance to explain to "B" that "A" was
actually the one who said those stuff about her.


So, "A" got ostracised, along with the random girl outside our clique.
I can't remember the details but "C" was also out of our clique [I really can't remember!]

When we went to Secondary 3, we were okay with "C" again.
So we stayed in the clique, trouble free for a long time... [at least, drama free]

Then I had my fair share of family troubles and started to stop going out with them.
They didn't find out what was wrong but instead, started to exclude me from stuff.
That's when I realised that they are not really "real" friends afterall.


Change of friends, I felt happier.
Trouble free, drama free.

this was also the time that I realised I was actually in a clique that was considered
to be popular [yes, I am always that slow. I don't actually feel it what!]

Oh, random note, I was in a Japan exchange programme :3

So I ended my Secondary school life on a peaceful note [once again!]

Well, every single one of us went our own way.
None of us are still hanging out with each other.
Let's just end it here, shall we?
I'm running late for school soon!

Remember, I look like this now!

Need to refresh your memory abit. LOL.

[Sponsored] Dolly Wink Eye Shadow Palette Number 2 in Gray/Pink [Monotone Mode] Review
Been a long time since the last review?
Sorry it took so long...
I drafted this like on 27th August but when my friends came over on the 28th,
accidentally closed the whole chrome browser...
I was too annoyed to redo it.

Still am, but well, I just wanted to share it asap with you guys since I have been
pretty lacking in the momentum.
[Also, because Mirai told me the look I did here was nice! *Motivated*]
So what look is it?

Yes, not the usual gyaru make that I always do.
I decided to try something new and more daring using the Dolly Wink Eye Shadow
Palette Number 2 in Gray/Pink [Monotone Mode]
As you can see, the colours in the palette are really special!


It came out really pretty!

Now for the full list of products I used!
[Those that I've reviewed before are pink in colour, hyperlinked to the respective post]

Face:
Candy Doll Makeup Base
Candy Doll Concealer [Shade 01]
Candy Doll Mineral Powder
Candy Doll Cheek Color Carrot Orange「キャンディドールチークカラー キャロットオレンジ」

Eyes:
Dolly Wink Eye Shadow Palette Number 2 in Gray/Pink [Monotone Mode]/
ドーリーウインクアイシャドウ02グレーピンク
Dolly Wink Eyelash Glue
Eyemazing No. 502 [Upper Lash]

Lips:
Candy Doll Lipstick in バニラベージュ [Vanilla Beige]
Candy Doll Lip Gloss in Strawberry Milk


Sounds like a long list, yes?
But guess what, with exception of the Candy Doll Makeup Base, everything else can 
be found on BlingAlways!


I've blogged about it recently over HERE.

Here's a close-up of how the colours from the shadow palette look [true to picture]

Shimmery, yes.
Sparkly/ Glittery, not really.
This is how they look when swatched on the back of my left hand.

The extremely pretty packaging!

They sure know how to satisfy my Masuwaka Tsubasa appetite <3

Step by Step illustration to teach you how to use the colours.
Not the only way but if you want to stay safe since these are colours not often used,
you can follow it!
Don't have to know Japanese to understand it (:

Now, for the review proper!

Dolly Wink Eye Shadow Palette Number 2 in Pink/Gray
[Monotone Mode]
「ドーリーウインクアイシャドウ02グレーピンク」:

Product Weight : Not stated [I suppose 2.5g/ 3g]

Product Ingredients: Talc, Dimethicone, Nylon-12, Isostearic Acid, Cetyl
Ethylhexanoate, Boron Nitride, Palm Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Aloe Vera Leaf
Extract, Methylparaben, Tocopherol, (+/-) Iron Oxide, Mica, Titanium Oxide,
Silica, Perfluorooctyl Triethoxysilane, Synthetic Phlogopite, Borosilicate (Ca/Al),
Tin Oxide, Titanate (Li/Co), Aluminium Hydroxide, Gunjou (?), Red 226, Red 202,
Green 404, Yellow 205

Product Type: Shimmery

Packaging: 8/10 - The black round casing is small and compact, thus easy to
bring around and hard to get dirty. I really love the little heart shaped window
on the top lid, allowing the colours to peek out! Simple yet classy.

Pigmentation: 6.5/10 - I was caught between giving it a 6 or 7, thus I settled
on 6.5. Reason being, when I tried to pick the product with an eye shadow
brush, the payoff is really bad. I had to repeat the process about 2 times
before having a good colour payoff. However, when I use a sponge
applicator [the one given in the palette], the product was able to be picked up
by the sponge with much more ease and good colour payoff in just one
swipe. 

Texture: 8.5/10 - Smooth! The powder packed is really fine and smooth, did
not experience fallouts at all!.

Blendability : 8/10 - It blends easily and nicely. I did not face any problem in
blending and ensuring a smooth transition from one colour to another at all!

Lasting Power: 9/10 - I'm not sure if it's because I am using a primer prior to
putting the eye shadow; with the primer, the shadow stayed on for over
12 hours, not budging at all.

Availability: 8/10 - While it is being sold in Watsons for a whooping SGD
$32.90, I will recommend buying from BlingAlways as they are only selling it
for SGD $25.90, an astonishing 21% cheaper than Watsons! All you have to
do is just wait for perhaps 2 weeks or so? You save SGD $7 for a palette, 
that's really a lot!

Price: 8.5/10 - If you are buying from BlingAlways, I will say it's a 8.5/10 but
if you are talking about Watsons, I will only give it a 3/10. Personally, I will NOT
pay a whooping SGD $32.90 for a palette with just 4 colours. Nope, not even 
Tsubasa can make me do it. But if you purchase it from BlingAlways for only
SGD $25.90, it is totally worth it as many of the other drug store brand
palettes also cost around SGD $20 - SGD $25, not to mention this palettes has
a much cuter/ to die for packaging! 


Repurchase: Yes. It is not very expensive when purchased from BlingAlways,
easy to bring around since it's compact, and it's endorsed by Tsu-chan....
*Popteen/ Popsister Model released product sucker* 

Overall Rating: 7/10

For this palette, I was quite afraid in trying the colours because I felt it's kinda
strong and very different from my usual eye make. Thankfully, it was really
easy to blend and well, I got some very encouraging comments from the
nice people on my Facebook Page!

Makes me happy, I shall do this eye make when I go to school tomorrow! :3
Oh, not to forget, remember to quote "Love Himeko" when you purchase from
BlingAlways to get free local postage!

夏祭り 2011
Firstly...
Comments replied :3

Okay, moving on!

So, Natsu Matsuri 2011 took place over a week ago here in Singapore~
It was my first time going ^^
I was attracted to the idea of going because...
Tsuriki will be performing [she's dancing!] and she told me there will be lots of
イケメン!

The イケメン part was false.

Nonetheless, I still had a smashing time with my ナカマs!
Picture heavy post [to be exact, 88 pictures]
So I will do less talking and show you guys the piccies!
My LOTD

Michiyo, Shiyun & Silin came my house to prepare :3
I had to wear their Yukatas for them... Almost died!
After we were finally done, dad drove us over to The Japanese School
[which is really far from my house so shoutout to my dad, サンキュー!]

I'm the lone ranger in the front passenger seat~

Photobomb!

Introducing 花吃1 & 2

花吃3 joins in!

Fast forward to when we arrived at the venue.
First and only food we ate for the day... Sausage ._.



Act only~

Tsuriki caught us!

Guess what she's dancing to~

Obvious hint:

Random little kids on stage at that time

We went to grab some ice cream because it was too hot!

This is SUPER NICE!
From Meiji~ I'm not sure where else can I find it D:
Shiyun thinks BFF's ice cream taste nicer :x

Such a big stick, only $2.50!


Taken by BFF

Trying BFF's look

No eyes, no eyes~






I was waiting for her to photobomb

Okay, you can officially come in.


*palm face*

Got bollywood feel?! 

Rushing to the stage again~

Natural Lighting is good!

What are we waiting for :3


The moment we've all been waiting for~

Sidetrack, the hula girls [the small ones] are really cute!

I have yet to upload the performance D:
Will do it later okay!




Tsuriki done!








I saw Emily there :3

Then we reunited with her in Yukata!

Flash is not that bad eh~

彼女彼女だ!

I really really really want a dog ):

Sad.
Here's an abrupt ending for you.
Sorry but most photos are like camwhore shots so I don't really know what to say
about them.
I'm gonna go read Switch Girl that Tsuriki very sweetly brought over to me!
SO LOVED ONE :3

[Advertorial] Where do I get my Japan Cosmetics? Try BlingAlways.com

Yes,
this is the question I always face.
In the past, because of the many people who keep asking me and are as
passionate about the cosmetics [*ahem and Tsu-chan] as me, I decided to open
up a little humble spree page to help everyone get the make up I import.

To be really honest, I am not earning anything from there.
Sometimes, I even have to fork out from my own pocket when there are not
enough orders to meet the shipping...
You might say "oh, she's selling at this price, it's more expensive than that shop
so she's SURELY earning."

False.

Selling the same product as others doesn't mean I am earning.
It depends on where we get our products from, our supplier, our agent, our
shipping charges.

Thankfully, all the people who spree-ed with me have been nothing but really
patient and understanding towards me, and I am really thankful for that.

However, I decided to stop helping to take orders for items like Candy Doll, 
Eyemazing, Decolog Who's Lashes, Dolly Wink Eye Shadows.
Reason being: I've found a shop that offers the products at a price LOWER than
what I can go.

Since my purpose of setting such sprees was to help everyone get the
products and try to do so in a pocket friendly way, I figured the best thing for
me to do is introduce that awesome shop to you guys so you lovelies can save
MORE and BUY MORE :3

Here's how you can save more with this website I'm going to introduce to you!





*drum roll please*



Type this in the address bar of whichever browser you are using.
Or you can click here -> http://www.blingalways.com

When you reach their homepage, you will be greeted by the news of what's hot/ latest
addition to the items spree-able.

The website is really easy to navigate!
You can browse the whole list of products they carry by clicking on the Full Products List

And they are sorted in alphabetical order!

They have all the products that I previously bought on my own [with much hassle!]
I mean, I had to deal with agents, suppliers, blah blah blah.
Worst part was that for newly released items [like the candy doll base items back then],
I had to wait till I actually have a friend that is flying to Japan to get it back for me!
[because the local sellers are selling them at OUTRAGEOUS PRICES]

You guys have it easy, man!
They have the Candy Doll Base Series too!

Candy Doll Liquid Foundation [All 3 shades available at SGD $38.90 Each]


Candy Doll Powder Foundation [SGD $36.90]


Candy Doll Concealer [Available in shade 1 & 2, SGD $23.90 Each]


Of course, they also carry the first few Candy Doll products!

Candy Doll Cheek Colour




Candy Doll Mineral Powder
Available in the Original and Crystal Pearl [SGD $29.90 & SGD $30.90 respectively]
Below shown is the Original Mineral Face Powder [not shimmery]

Candy Doll Lipsticks


Now of course, these are not the only products they carry.
As I've mentioned earlier, they have Decolog Who's Lashes, Eyemazing,
Dolly Wink, Shiseido Integrate, and many many more!
go browse youself!
They have such a wide variety, one post is NOT ENOUGH to talk about them all!
I'm sure you will see something you like there.
I'm SURE. [I mean, if you love Japan make up :3]

When you've decided on all the items you want to purchase,
just drop them an email, addressed to : bling.always@gmail.com

So this is where I come into use :3


Yep, just quote "Love Himeko" upon ordering to receive FREE POSTAGE!
She has very kindly extended this promotion specially for my readers!

She allowed me to choose some products from her shop too!
Here's what I picked :3
4 dolly wink eye shadow palettes & 1 candy doll concealer [to complete the previous
candy doll base items that I've already bought!]

Yes, all 4 dolly wink shadow palettes!

I've been DYING to get my hands on these.
I mean, Watsons sell them at $32.90 and being a collection crazy girl here, I want to
get all 4, which will cost $131.60.
But because I have too many 88/ 120/ 180/ a gazillion tkb trading pigments,
I just can't justify buying them...
I bought my 120 palette at $20+ or something... so I thought 120 colours cost lesser
than just 4 colours, I shall not do it!
Besides, SGD $32.90 for a palette with 4 colours? Way way WAY too steep even for
a model released Japan product. [Sorry, Tsubasa T.T]

But when I saw Michiyo with them, I was totally sold.
They look so CUTE.
Yes, I'm superficial, bite me.
Then I actually realised that I do not have any eyeshadow palette to bring out for
touching up because my 88/ 120/ 180 are just TOO BIG and BULKY!

And guess what?
BlingAlways made them are TOTALLY AFFORDABLE.
Watsons: SGD $32.90
BlingAlways: SGD $25.90

Do the math, that's like a whooping 21% CHEAPER THAN WATSONS!
You save: SGD $7.00 PER PALETTE.
If you buy all 4, you save SGD $28.00

That's A LOT OF MONEY!
You know what you can do with that money?
You can buy a mascara from Dolly Wink from BlingAlways too!

Watsons: SGD $29.90
BlingAlways: SGD $24.90

You still have $3.10 left for lunch! :3

They are currently opening a spree for all their items again and the spree will
close on 29 August 2011.

I am really really tempted by the Love Liner!

It's been raved and used by so many models from popteen, popsister, etc.
Just to name a few models you might know that use them:
Komori Jun [Eyemazing], Kanno Yui [Melliesh], Hoshino Kana [Jewerich], Funayama
Kumiko/Kumicky [Cosmagic], 


And Chacott Loose Powder!
EVERY MODEL HAS ONE OF THIS!

But I have like 10 eyeliners and 6 loose powders waiting to be used.
[Don't ask why I have so many...]
But the packaging is so sleek and pretty and so many models have it!
*Inner battle with myself*

So, what are you waiting for?

Head over to BlingAlways and start shopping!
Oh, don't forget to "Like" Their facebook page for previews to new products
that they will be bringing in!

[Event] Vichy Workshop at Winsland House.
Hello lovelies :3
Last Friday, I went for a Vichy Workshop with my TTJ!
Thanks Tiphanie for helping to me get my late RSVP accepted!
Shall skip the explanation of why my RSVP is late, hint: bimbotic TTJ

Anyway, I arrived really late D:
I'm sorry to all the lovely people there.
Feel so bad for being so late; congestion is really not an excuse, I should have
left house earlier!
Thanks Tiphanie for reserving the seats for us!
She's such a dear :3

Arrived the place, famished, and pleasantly greeted by these

Happy already!

Food monster strikes!

I told TTJ that I feel like a cow, eating grass [in this case, veggie]

Sparkling water! [I don't really like sparkling water though =/]

And so the presentation starts!
I liked how the presentation was conducted, feels very friendly and easy going.

When they came to this slide, I was like "OHKAY, I know this product!"
Prior to Vichy Workshop, I already did a bit of hauling ^^ [albeit "kiasu" one too]

Yep, I bought all that myself prior to the workshop.
Okay, moving on~
I didn't know Vichy is actually a town in France!

The main benefits of the spa water

Many people asked me how I use this.
I use it before I apply my skincare, even before toner, to hydrate my face after bath.
It's best to do your skincare regime after you bathe because there's much moisture
on your skin, so you should do them quick to "lock the moisture." 
So basically, while my face is still full and moist, I dry the water off and spritz this
thermal spa water further hydrate the surface before I slap on my toner and stuff.
More in-depth explantion when I do a review for related products.
So anyway, besides that, I use it to freshen myself up [the sun in Singapore is CRAZY],
set my makeup, freshen my makeup [I don't like touching up because that's like
layering more make up on top of old/ oxidised make up. Doesn't sound very nice, right?]

Here are some examples of uses of the Thermal Spa Water given in illustration form:

Then they touched on the Aqualia Thermal Range

Hydration, hydration, hydration!

Oh, sidetrack a little...
Minty sweets made with the Thermal Spa Water!

Yes, the sweet is in my left cheek :3

It taste super duper good! [I have a thing for minty stuff]

I really like how they showed videos and statistical results.

After the presentation ended...

Here's him showing us some stuff that will be given to us in the goodie bag

Then, we were given some "hands on" time to try the products!
The very friendly staff spritzing the water into this bowl.

For what, right?
It's to soak these so they will puff up nicely :3

So cute right!

Muahaha, caught pearlin with the mask :3

Me & TTJ being amused by the mask.

The Aqualia Thermal Range


One of the products included in the goodie bag~
Aqualia Thermal Mask [Soothing & Plumping 24 Hr Hydrating Aqua-Mask]

I tried the Aqualia Thermal Serum [Fortifying & Soothing 24 Hr Hydrating Concentrate]
My hand became SUPER SMOOTH!
I was telling TTJ that I am SO tempted to buy it right away!
Even when I met Clara after the workshop, it still stayed very smooth!
[she touched my hands cos I told her about it, and that was like... 4 hours after the
workshop, she still could feel the effect!]

Here comes random shots with TTJ [because we are like that]



No, I do not know what's wrong with us ^^
I do know that Duffy & Shelliemay are also loving the products!

They told me they want to secretly throw the products into my bag!

I told them not to be so evil, because each of us were given a Vichy Goodies' Bag!

Before I show you what's in it, I want to thank the very friendly staff at the workshop,
kept offering us food and answered to all our queries warmly!

What I really liked about the whole workshop that it felt really light hearted and
the ambience was just so amicable!

All the items in the goodies' bag

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Mask



Vichy Aqualia Thermal Aqua-Gel [one of their best sellers!]


And of course, how can we forget their Thermal Spa Water?

They included a trial size: Vichy Normaderm Night
Their latest release, I believe.

Honestly speaking, I am totally excited to try the products out because they all felt
so awesome on my hands :3
Now, some piccies with other beauty bloggers!
Always seen Joyce around but never got to taking a picture with her, here you go!

Thank you Vichy for the nice experience! Now I can't wait to try the products!

Post workshop, met up with Clara to bring her to where I bought my superstar shades
as she wants to act like a star with me ^^;;
Ate again!

Because I'm a food monster~

After eating, we headed over to Mcdonald's to chillax.

Teeheeheee.

I took her ring to play camwhore with!

Cos she's too occupied with my facebook!

*left out*

We ended up forgetting about the time [as usual], had to cab home!
End this post with this picture yo!

Bibi everyone~ Stay tuned to the next post :3
Till then,

O.P.I & China Glaze Haul
Hey loves!
Been some time since my last polish haul so here I am again with some
new babies!


3 from O.P.I this time, 1 of them is part of the Designer Series.

Got myself the black shatter the last time round, this time it's O.P.I white shatter

& not to forget, this very unique O.P.I Turquoise shatter.

I was so tempted to get all the shatters there [had red, blue and some really glittery
shatter [can't remember the colours], swept all into my basket only to realise that
I'm buying irrationally so I narrowed my selection.

O.P.I Designer Series Reserve 
I've used this on my nail; it looks GORGEOUS.
I'm SO heading back once I get paid to grab the other Designer Series Polishes.
Not to forget the top and base coats too.
The colour is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, I must say.
Forgot to take a picture of my nails with this colour.
Next post alright!

4 China Glaze Polishes

We all know China Glaze, too, came out with many shatter like O.P.I, only that they
are called Crackle instead.
If I am not mistaken, their crackle have a wider selection of colours compared to O.P.I
Shatter. I took like 5 bottles of Crackle, but managed to convince myself to just
getting one. *pats myself on the back*'

China Glaze Fault Line

China Glaze White Out

China Glaze Black Diamond
Used this together with DS Reserve, somehow my nails ended up looking like the
Maybelline Hello Kitty Mascara tube....
I expected this colour to look similar to O.P.I Baby It's Coal Outside but it came out
totally different. The shimmers were barely noticable, unlike O.P.I's.
I really loved O.P.I Baby It's Coal Outside but unfortunately, it's been discontinued...

China Glaze Hey Sailor
Bought this for future sailor looking nails :3
I'm so into doing nails now~
After 1 year of being disciplined with unpainted nails due to work, I'm all for the nail
craze!

That aside, just look at the different types of mask I have right now!

Had a hard time deciding which to use~ Settled for this Pearl powder one.

I'm like super in love with mask these days.
I wish I can get these...
Sexy Look Hello Kitty Mask!

There are the limited edition ones too!

Not to forget, these orginal looking ones which can't be found in Singapore too


Not forgetting, my favourite the 2D (?) mask, My Beauty Diary.
Once again, Hello Kitty [I KNOW RIGHT -_-]


That's like 9 boxes of mask that I want.
Probably cost like $100 or so.
I wish the money will rain from the sky or something.
Oh wells, a girl can dream, right? :3

To make myself feel better, at least I have my trusty zip lock bags?

Got these randomly at Daiso when I went Vivo to meet Tsuriki [the day when she
came my house and we did our random video]
Comes in 2 colours ^^

They had a slightly bigger one [with yellow and green ones]  as well as a really
big one [blue and... can't remember the other colour] but these TINY ones are
the ones with my favourite colours.
And so... I bought them, just because....
But well, at least I managed to squeeze some useful stuff in afterall!

Trusty make up remover stuff ^^

Finally, my Sunplay SPF 47 Sunblock was squeezed dry by me.
I was contemplating whether I should repurchase it or try something new when
Tsuriki told me that she is currently using the Biore one and she loves it so well, 
decided to give it a go.
Got the Radiant one.

That's all, it's almost 4.30am, time to head to bed!

Mum in my Yukata!
okay, quick quick post.
Since I didn't post anything yesterday, I shall double post today :3
[Actually, that's because I have too many overdue pictures to clear]
Okay anyway, if you've seen my FB page some time ago [prolly more than a
week?], you would have seen me posting the picture of my mum in Yukata.
She told me to take pictures for her -_-
First shot was #fail, I told her she needs to smile cos she's not taking
song ka photo.
Then she was laughing at my comment and this came out much more natural.

She's more petite than me, so from the back, she looks like some kid.

Then then, think a good 2 weeks ago, went to do nails with Tsuriki cos her nails broke
again!
We had Long John Silver before going~
My chicken [what else right]

Her fishy

So fast forward, at the place again!

Reading her Manga while waiting~

Choosing her design!
She can't decide for the longest time.

Proceed to stone....

Another shot before...

I fall asleep.

okay #abrupt end.
Off to meet Tsuriki & TTJ for lunch before my tuition.
Bibis, later!

Maybelline Presents: Hyper Couture Fashion Show 2011
Hey loves!
I know, way way overdue but better late than never, right? :3
Picture heavy entry, you've been warned!

Met my TTJ for lunch at Thai Express first!
Sorry, I don't remember what I had....

She had the pineapple rice again~

The place [SOUL] was really easy to find ^^
I spotted Tiphanie from far far away cos she was wearing the same dress as the one
she donned during our Spa Esprit Workshop.
Jang jang~ Her friend Ning Xin [in white] looking so demure.
They are like going the demure 路线!

4 of us!

My lovely TTJ painted my nails for me cos she can't stand my clumsiness.

ngak ngak ngak

Photobombed me!

1 thing that really annoyed me was how the people who were in charge of the queue
did not bother to check properly with us when we said we were in the VVIP queue.
They just asked for ticket and when we said we received email from Maybelline,
they told us to proceed to the normal queue without checking our email.
They don't even know the contents of the email, what makes them so sure we are
RSVP-ed under some general posting?
We tried to show them, but they dismissed us lightly and told us to just head to the
normal queue.

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I got.
I told TTJ to call whoever she could from Maybelline to double check if we were indeed
on the guest list and she said that the lady [sorry, can't remember the name] assured
her that we were and that she will inform them about it.
After waiting for another 10 minutes, no news.

So I took TTJ's phone, went up to the guy again and insisted for him to LOOK at the
email properly, which clearly stated for us to head to the VIP queue.
After some reasoning with him, he called for this other staff. He came to check with
me again what the email was and then he disappeared for about a minute, coming
back to us with a list.
Our names were on the VIP list.

If you had the list, why did you not bother to check it in the first place when we told
you we were in the VIP/ guest list? I believe it's not that hard to confirm our names
and then take a look at the list to verify, yes?
Disappointed at the management because IMHO, it's not even an area whereby
communication problems/ complications from situations which can result in
such a hiccup.
After finally sorting that out, we headed over the the VIP side.

Angry, but still must take picture, thus no smile.

Special Blue tags for us!
[others got yellow and I believe red tags are for the staff]

The queue got too outrageous, so they decided to give others who brought the CLEO
magazine along to queue behind us to shorten the normal queue.

I only know this because after we entered the SOUL, a photographer [Tiph's friend]
who got in early to take shots during their rehearsal told us that the queue extended all
the way till the back of the building.

Showing you some FAIL shots cos I refused to use manual mode to adjust.


Then I gave up and used manual with flash.
So much clearer! [a little too bright though]

So I adjusted the ISO, aperture and stuff again...
Much better!

TEEHEE, what we bloggers do best.

Feel no shame!

Shameless camwhoring.

Anytime, Anywhere, Any Situation :3

My lovely TTJ, who asked me along cos she was invited by Maybelline and could
bring a plus one. SO SWEET RIGHT?

me xoxo her :3

Overexposure on purpose

Cos it makes my skin look AWESOME

Sorry, just had to do this [the typical shot I always take when I go clubbing]

Been some time since I did wink shots!

Then I saw... Karmun!

TTJ took an ugly shot of me. But decided to post it anyway since it features my
duffy and shelliemay [I haven't actually taken a shot with both of them yet]

Duffy!

Shelliemay [

The face I gave when I saw the long queue for everything and anything.

Just kidding. I'm too nice!

Lovely Karmun!

Okay so here comes "not-so-happy" part 2.
Since we were in the VIP List, I kinda expected a better seat.
Nope, it's just sit anywhere you want.
And so from our place, we were super far away from the runway.
And it was super hard to see.
Actually, it's impossible.
I had to kneel on the couch to catch a glimpse of whatever that was going on.

So below are the shots I took; I did my best...
At least you can still see the clothes [well, the top half?]






I like her smile :3

Random host shot

I liked this! [I think Tiph bought this in another colour]




I like this style alot! Very casual and Japanese blogger look!

Super blur face, but you can still see the dress yo.
Ning Xin bought this piece [I think]


This looks cute :3

You really should face the audience on the runway....

Looking sweet~


I like her too! [I don't know who is she, but I think her bangs are very nice!]

Very mango inspired top.

Wonderful eye make!

Tiph bought this too!


Uh huh.

Why your hair so awesome?


Beret!

Knitted ones!

So cute right!

So happy~

And then BAM, end of show [quite fast!]

Some random shots.



At the end of the show, we can head over to another room to view the clothes.
Unhappy part 3:
We were jammed at the door to exit the runway side for like... more than 15 minutes.
I'm not sure if it hit 30 minutes.
The reason for the jam?
Goodie bag....
-_-
I feel that since they expected such a huge turnout [well, they prepared enough goodie
bags so yes, they definitely expected it], they should have done a better job at
coordinating the exit.
The area to browse the clothes was not that crowded at all.
But the environment inside was not very condusive for me to shop cos I don't like to
squeeze and fight for space with people when I shop [thus, I didn't look nor buy
anything].
Yes, I'm not the flea market kinda person [the ambience inside totally felt like some
flea market], so I just stood awkwardly somewhere to wait for Tiph & Ning Xin with
TTJ [we are both very OCD one... don't like to shop with alot of people around]

So yea, that's my write up for the event.
I do understand it's difficult to plan such a large scale event and that many unexpected
situations will occur but still, things could have been better in many aspects.
Looking forward to a more well coordinated show in 2012.

xoxo
