LOTD: Color Contrast (feat. MAC Stylishly Yours: Dark Diversion Fluidline).. & Food Porn

MAC Stylishly Yours: Dark Diversion Fluidline is nothing like the shade as shown.

This looks more of a cool-toned purple, yes ?

Argh the flashlight's too bright here. You can see the subtle berry micro-shimmers though (:

I guess, for better representation of the shade, go check out Temptalia's review :D

Dark Diversion is a darkened burgundy-brown with berry-wine undertones and subtle berry micro-shimmer.  This is a new and limited edition shade. (credits to Temptalia)

This limited edition shade is too pretty to pass, seriously ! It's no doubt a must-buy for me :p

Single layer vs Double layer 

The fluidline is easy to apply, glides on the eyes effortlessly since it's so creamy and pigmented. I love the subtle berry micro-shimmers, which brightens up the whole look somehow (; Very lasting; the color doesn't fade at all.

My LOTD. Now, you know why I name it Color Contrast. You must be wondering why the hell did I use turquoise mascara ?!

See the contrast ? :3

I actually tried this Turquoise Colored Mascara from the Make Up Store. I didn't purchase it in the end, though I kinda like the unique color. Too expensive IMO =.=

Eyes:

  • Mac Dark Diversion Fluidline
  • Nature Republic Star Prism e/s SWH004 Sparkle Silver
  • Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara
  • Make Up Store Colored Mascara (Turquoise)
  • L'oreal Chrome Intensity Eye Palette (Timeless Green) for my eyebrows

 


Lips:

 

The color is seriously very pretty ! But $29 for a lipgloss pot leis T^T

Face:

  • Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel (as base)
  • ZA 2-way foundation no.21
  • Pop Beauty Rose Belle 8-color blush kit
  • Make Up Store Blush (forgot the name. shimmery baby pink color.)

Hmm did the colored mascara snatch Dark Diversion's limelight ? =.=

My OOTD was a floral dress btw.

 

Now, food porn time !

Dim sum at Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant with Sandy and Jessie. Initially wanted to go Imperial Treasure BUT full house. No choice :,/ By the time they called, we were already in the midst of eating. It's advisable to go during the weekdays, seriously. Preferably before lunchtime.

And so, the custard buns were so-so. Disappointed coz Imperial Treasure serve awesome ones !! Don't believe, ask Kim :p

Ok, the har gaus were pretty good. Comparable, IMO.

This was alright too. Steamed pork ribs.

Roasted pork, I like ! I'll love it much much more if the serving is more generous :p

Siew mai taste good too albeit lil' salty. Not too porky. You know, the difference between normal siew mai and restaurant siew mai lies in the amount of prawns used (at least to me) XD

Prawn chee cheong fun. The skin is just a lil' thick, that's all. Other than that, I like it pretty much.

Fried prawn dumplings. Not too oily, just abit salty =.=

I still prefer Imperial Treasure char siew paus. *SIGH*

I forgot the name of this dish. Sweet muah-chee like skin with savory white radish fillings, I think. Taste not bad, surprisingly. Just too oily.

The century egg/lean meat porridge had a chao-tah taste :/ They didn't charge us for this. I wonder if anyone else "complained" about it ?

 

Dinner was as sumptuous I guess. Super-filling lunch and dinner but I ain't complaining !!

Yours truly and my sis (sans makeup). She wasn't very willing to camwhore Xp

 

Oh, we were at Bedok Point, new shopping mall in Bedok *DUH* Hmm it's more of a food mall to me hahas !

We settled our dinner at Chicken Hot Pot. There was a long queue, and the food on the tables look exceptionally delicious. The people there were enjoying their food, as seen from the satisfying expressions :X

The chicken hot pot. Looks good eh. Taste even better ! The sauce is spicy and so addictive. I can literally finish a bowl of white rice drenched with this super awesome sauce teehee~ :P It's really THAT awesome ! The serving size is for 4 pax btw, with only 3 of us finishing the food effortlessly LOL

My bro's turn to camwhore :D

We ordered mushrooms too, which we added into the chicken hot pot. YUMMY !! Should've ordered more mushroomsLime juice for me and my sis, coke for my bro (not in photos).

We ordered a set which comes with prawn hot pot as well. It could be better if the prawns were more fresh. Other than that, I like the taste.

Did you spot an unusual ingredient ?

Yes, fries. Soggy, coz they'd been soaked in the sauce for quite long. Underneath the prawns and fries were onions, celeries, etc. I helped myself to the flavorful celeries in both the chicken and prawn hot pots :D

Hungry yet ? :P
