Beautiful Night View, Nightlife & LOTD: Dazzling

My favorite time of the day is night, when the moonlight shines. I super dislike the blazing sunlight, seriously. A big NO-NO to sun-tanning for me.

See how beautiful Singapore is at night...... (◕‿◕ ✿)

Just captured a few shots since my camera's battery was dying. Hmm.. do excuse the slightly blur photos (:

LOTD time 

It was a night of SUPER FULL makeup for me since I was gonna club with my friends. It had been quite awhile since I clubbed! AGE is definitely catching up on me. I no longer have the urge to club as frequently as before. Ahh.. I can't believe I'll be hitting my 30s in just a few years' time T^T

My OOTD. A flowy bling-bling top & MNG black fitted short skirt.

I camwhored ALOT coz I simply love this LOTD very much xD 

Well, me and my excuses :x AHEMS.

Dazzling shimmery eyes accompanied with pink flushed cheeks and nudey pink lips.

A close-up on my LOTD

Sephora Perfection Primer, followed by LancĂ´me Teint Miracle Foundation PO-3Coffret D'or Beauty Essence Pact to set the foundation. My cheeks -> Red Earth Cheeky Flirt (Foxy Lady)Melliesh Cheek Color 02 Baby Peach. To highlight my face, I used MAC MSF (By Candlelight).

My eye makeup is achieved with Lunasol Nature Color Eyes in 01 Nature Blue, which I used in a LOTD last year. Prior using the eyeshadow palette, I used Benefit Stay Don't Stray to prime my eye area. On my entire eye area, I applied the shimmery light yellow color (Lunasol) and then the shimmery light mint color (Lunasol) on the lids. For upper and bottom lashline, I used the cool brown color (Lunasol) to define my eyes. As for the inner corners of my eyes, I used the shimmery light yellow color (Lunasol) again. Lioele Artist Auto Eyebrow #3 Grey Black for my brows. My trusty L'oreal SuperLiner (black) for my all-time favorite winged eye look

And, I'm happy to announce I'd found another HG mascara combination (apart from my all-time favorite Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl x Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara combi). Do note that I've the habit to curl my lashes before using mascara, which I did in this case. I wasn't born with beautifully curled lashes (:

My lashes look UBER DOLLY-LIKE, yes-yes?? Super volumized, lengthened, black. NO-NO, I wasn't wearing fake lashes!

And so, my new HG mascara combination is:

ZA Cutie Curl Volume Mascara x Dolly Wink Volume Mascara!!

Lips -> Heavy Rotation Lip Concealer x Melliesh Lip Gloss 02 Baby Doll.

After which, my camera's battery died :,/

Using my lousy iPhone camera function which simply can't take decent night photos, here are the few okay photos. No clubbing photos, ya know why =.=

Me and my friends wanted to go Butterfactory BUT it was FULL HOUSE :/ So, we went to a random bar to drink something 1st. Actually I wasn't too keen on clubbing that night. I just wanna laze at home as usual, watching random movies online. My 2 pretty friends wanted me to join 'em and I had to give 'em face. I'm one who easily gives in :s

And, I gotta know 2 new guy friends that night. AND again, I was the oldest among 'em. Thanks really ar. The 86s and 87s =.= Glad that it was truly a fun night afterall.

Hmm.. these chicken wings not nice at all :s I enjoyed eating the sweet crunchy celery and carrot sticks though.

They ordered Erdinger, one of my favorite beers.

Oh ya, we were at OverEasy. The guys had a friend working there, hence we had discount on our orders :p

My Strawberry Margarita which tasted not so bad BUT I still prefer Cafe Iguana's!

And so, after OverEasy, we headed to Shanghai Dolly. That was my 1st time. Had Martell on the rock, more beer, red bull vodka. Didn't drink-drank-drunk, thankfully. BUT KJ said I did doze off for 10mins...... which I had no idea at all. At least, I remembered mostly what happened. My friends were gone by then :x Uber happening night, I must say. I think I won't be clubbing for quite sometime? Till then 

In the mood to HAUL

A collective haul post of random buys, taking note of what I've in my stash.

The Body Shop haul, mainly necessities.

Not all are mine though.

1 each for me & my siblings. The Body Shop Organic Cotton Rounds (x100).

The Body Shop Pink Bath Gloves, which was requested by my sis.

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Soap for me. Smells heavenly!

The Body Shop Seaweed range skincare products belong to my bro. Here's the Seaweed Clarifying Toner for Combination/Oily Skin.

Seaweed Mattifying Moisture Lotion SPF15.

 

Love this Slanted Tweezers I'd gotten. It's not easy to find good tweezers (sharp & precise) as most don't do a good job of getting rid of stray brow hairs. I'm glad to find one that's not so EX! The most pricey one I'd gotten so far is the Sephora Illuminating Tweezer which is no longer available. That cost me $33 I think, but it works well for me anyway. Hmm I find that the battery life is super awesome as I haven't been changing it for years though I've spare ones. Reading those reviews make me wonder why some complain that the battery life is poor? I love everything about the Sephora one (esp. the light & magnifying mirror) except...... YES, the price tag.

And recently, there was a newly launched limited edition makeup collection - "Brush with Fashion" in collaboration with London College of Fashion. I picked up only 2 items.

Tailored Cheek Tint, which I thought was pretty interesting. It is a clear gel, which magically transforms on the skin into a pink blush suited to the skin tone.

Limited Collection For Eyes 02 A La Mode, which I prefer much better than 01 Boho Beauty (I do like the shimmery apricot shade on the top left though).

The pigmentation is seriously awesome much esp. the pretty silver color! I wonder if it's sold out island-wide yet? Coz it's sold out at some outlets.

That rounds up my lil' TBS haul.

"Hidden" at B1 Liang Court is a lil' treasure cove for budget beauties. It's like a mini version of Daiso as the stuff there are all $2 each.

The shop is called "Nanairo", which sells mainly Japanese foodstuff, stationeries, hair accessories, etc. Of coz not forgetting $2 makeup!

All these for $14 only. If you are new to makeup, maybe you'll like to try these for a start 1st?

AC Silver Lip Gloss 08. The color looks beigey nude as shown from the photo.

Actually, it's more of a shimmery gloss with not much pigmentation. Don't expect much since it's only $2. I love the sweet honey smell though, which I expected to be a cheap plasticky smell initially.

One side with gloss.

Close-up.

Shimmery orange but color doesn't show up on my lips. Looks just like clear shimmery gloss on me -.-

Bare lips :s

See what I mean?

Not much difference between these 2 glosses on my lips :s

Hmm the lip glosses doesn't feel sticky but tad oily feel somehow. Doesn't really bother me much, since I bought 'em just to try out. Doesn't dry the lips. If you prefer non-pigmented shimmery glosses, you might wanna give it a try since it's just $2.

Ok, AC Eyebrow pencil (BK). I bought it coz I mistook it for an eyeliner -.-

Here's the swatch.

AC eyeshadow palettes 01 and 06.

AC Highlighter Powder 01. Chantana bought this as well :D

Now for other random stuff I'd bought.

Bought these Daiso Layered Eyeshadow Palettes from Jerlaine at $2.80 each (I think), inclusive of normal postage. Fun to try out, that's why I bought 'em (;

A pretty lil' polka dot tote I'd got from a Japanese magazine purchase. My gf, Serene, bought it and whatsapped me this photo. I just had to get it since there was 20% discount for Kinokuniya card members at that point of time. HAPPY! :3

At the same time, I whatsapped her and ask which color (black/grey) should I get. A FREE Roxy dress with purchase of CLEO magazine. It's not the local CLEO I'm talking about (:

In the end, I bought the grey one!

That's all for my haul entry. Thanks for reading! (:
