Of random happenings here & there..

just a random post. pictures shall do the talking. here goes.

i was selected together with 99 other ladies (among 2000+ survey entries) for Shiseido "Age Your Way" workshop on a Saturday morning. the venue was where Aqualabel workshop was held at. what entice me was the retail size Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Corrective Serum (not available in stores yet) that would be given to us :p

this is the tester bottle. it retails for USD 80. wonder what's its retail price in Singapore ? hmm..

the texture is kind of creamy rich kind but it's easily absorbed into skin though.

look at the food ! so yummy right ? this was my 1st round :x i had 2nd round but most of the food were gone by then :c

ooo they had this device which actually magnify your skin condition. i was rather apprehensive at first but went ahead anyway. in the end, the lady told me my skin at the jawline area quite good just that the cheek area need some improvement. overall, my skin condition is ok :D so happy can ! it was then i remembered when i was only 20, i had my skin condition checked at Ipsa counter. the lady actually told me i have prematured skin :,( it was indeed horrible news to me at such a young age. it was then i paid more attention to skincare (:

"一秒也好" Cover

non-mu related.. my first time posting.. do be kind with your comments (:

 

我关上了门最后一次听你说我们
熟悉变陌生把我往记忆里扔
我应该习惯你离去的眼神
才能让失去你变的更完整
窗外的街灯还在努力掩饰着早晨
我的叹息成真了整夜的苦闷
我该努力习惯这样的气氛
才发现失去了爱不用再等
我知道我的一切你已不想要
即使在乎也只让你想逃
我不相信这全是种煎熬
原来你只是那么难预料
早已看穿没有我想要的好
我的等待换不到你拥抱
只能让回忆短暂的炫耀
原来任性对彼此都不好


清晨的街灯唤开了城市中的心门
我的等待成真了整夜的苦闷
我努力在你的回忆里狂奔
才了解失去了爱不用再等
我知道我的一切你已不想要
即使在乎也只让你想逃
我不相信这全是种煎熬
原来爱你是那么难预料
早已看穿没有我想要的好
我的等待换不到你拥抱
只能让回忆短暂的炫耀
原来任性对彼此都不好

多想再一次紧紧的拥抱
就算给我一秒也好
一秒可以给多少我都想要
我知道我的一切你已不想要
即使在乎也只让你想逃
我不相信这全是种煎熬
原来爱你是那么难预料
早已看穿没有我想要的好
我的等待换不到你拥抱
只好让回忆短暂的炫耀
原来任性对彼此都不好
让回忆继续反复炫耀
原来失去对彼此都不好

Mentholatum Lipbalms Review

Metholatum, the #1 Bestselling Lipbalm Brand in Japan has arrived in Singapore ! They are exclusively sold at ALL Watsons stores since 12 July 2010.

The Sample Store has very kindly sent me a ♥ package containing not 1 not 2 but.. 5 lovely lipbalms ! 

Metholatum Deep Moist Menthol & Natural. Both contain hyaluronic acid, avocado oil & jojoba oil which help deeply moisturize lips. Not only that, there are shea butter & Vitamin E which help repair dry lips. Sounds pretty good for my dry chapped lips eh :3

ooo colorful lipbalms ! but.. too bad the lipbalms are not color-tinted hahas xD

Metholatum Mogitate Kajitsu lipbalms are made with Real, Natural Fruit Juice & Honey !

imagine you are actually applying fruit juice (contains essential minerals and vitamins beneficial to lips and body) & honey (heals and renews lips) on your delicate lips ! yummilicious :d~ with 'em, my lips are made soft, supple and extremely kissable :x *MUACKS*

i was provided with Mogitate Strawberry, Mogitate Lemon & Lime as well as Mogitate Orange & Mango :D well, it isn't hard to guess from the pictures above yea lol

besides these 3 flavors, there are 2 more: Mogitate Grape & Berry and Mogitate White Peach. i will get 'em IF i finish my existing ones :x very tempting you know !

fyi, Mogitate means Fresh and Kajitsu means Fruits in Japanese.

with continual use, wrinkles on lips caused by aging and sun damage will be reduced as it contains Squalene (a moisturizing booster). Squalene is a highly prized Japanese supplement, extracted from plants. it is easily absorbed and pretty similar to the natural oil on our skin. in other words, you'll have baby soft lips :3 it also contains Grape Seed Oil (skin repair), Vitamins A & E (healthy lip shine).

so what's my thought after trying 'em ? they feel incredibly soft on the lips, and literally melts on the lips while applying. as you can see from the pictures, the lip balms don't look like the conventional round ones. they are oval-shaped for ease of application and able to reach the lip corners. i must say the lip balm shape fits my lips quite well :p

oh, what's the difference between the natural & menthol one ? if you love the smell of menthol, you'll simply love the menthol one like i do ♥ i like the minty cooling sensation on the lips, feels so good :3 uber moisturizing for my dry chapped lips ! thumbs up ! if given a choice, i'll choose the menthol one of course :D

as for the fruity ones, i like 'em all. they don't taste as sweet and sticky as the nivea ones. i tried 'em one after another with maybe one hour interval since i tend to lick my lips -_-" except for the menthol one. i don't lick my lips when i use menthol lipbalm. hmm weirds uh :x these lipbalms will be great for those who don't like strong sweet scents. they just have a faint fruity scent, with strawberry being the sweetest (DUH !) if really have to choose 1 out of the 3, i'll go with.. lemon & lime ! but i like strawberry's pink packaging -_-" not easy to choose that is.

a camwhore picture with the pink strawberry one ♥

Deep Moist Menthol & Deep Moist Natural retails at $7.90 each.
Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu retails at $5.90 each.

Coloring Seminar by Rodica Hristu (Natural & Cool Browns/Blondes)

new hair color ! no more chiffon pink hair :3 new hair style too ! just cut a little from my previous hairstyle, not much difference except the fringe part :p well, this time i went to a hair seminar with Jones. she hasn't update anything about her hair as yet since the workshop till now. what i can say is her hair is getting shorter and shorter, in a good way of course. she really rocks with her new hairstyle ! for those who have seen her hair will agree with me much :D

this is a hair seminar conducted by award winning colorist Rodica Hristu from Canada. she's very friendly & beautiful in person. and, i noticed her lashes are really long !

there was a pre-color session 2 days before the seminar. we are supposed to "report" at evolve salon at 9am, located at Liang Court. it was prolly around 12pm when it was finally my turn to do my hair -_-" me & Jones were the hair models for 2nd day, so we'd had to wait for the 1st day hair models' hair to be fixed first. throughout the session, i was dozing off every now and then as i didn't sleep the night before =_=

hmm this was my OOTD, all black. blur me thought i had to wear all black on that day +_+

Ken Hong, evolve salon director, trimmed my hair and cut bangs. i guessed i'm destined to have bangs hahas xD this is the "just cut" look.

then, i waited for sometime for my hair to be colored. my hair base was kept cool-toned dark brown i think. the clipped part was not colored yet at this point of time.

ta dah ! now, the clipped part is colored using "foiling" method if i didn't get it wrong. so many foils !! she foiled one by one and i fell asleep halfway through :s thanks Rodica ! anyway, the session ended at around 5plus evening i think. luckily there was food provided for us, japanese yakitori rice set :d~

so how did the hair color turn out ?

 

:

:

:

 

i simply ♥ my new hair color to bits !! thanks so much Rodica (again) !!

the main focus was the fringe part. the highlights were kept cool-toned. she initially wanted to keep it warm-toned as it really turned out very nice. i love both :3

i really love the hair color so much ! it reminded me of the $300 hair color i did at Jeric Salon (REDS Salon) which i did not like much.

i was told that for a hair makeover like mine easily cost few hundred dollars, prolly about $300+ to 400+ ? a hair cut by Ken Hong is already $100+.. hair color will be around $200 to $300 ? the most shocking thing i heard from one of the hair models was a hair cut by Daniel Ng, Kim Robinson Creative Director cost $750 !! i nearly fainted -_-" i have to agree totally he is really awesome !! i'm so honored to have my hair cut by both of them, and my hair to be colored by Rodica Hristu (:

my LOTD. pardon my oil-slicked face -_-" and chapped lips.

the highlight of this LOTD is using MAC mineralize eye shadow - fresh green mix. it was a really wonderful buy from sg beauty :D i love how the smoky eye effect turn out.

hope you enjoyed my lengthy post. more posts to be up soon :D saturday was an exceptionally enjoyable day for me :3 stay tuned to my blog to find out why ! till then, enjoy your weekend ladies !
