Tagged: Top 6 lip products

Sometime back, I was tagged by poutylips09 to list out my top 6 lip products. So here I am, sharing with y'all my favourites (as of now). Not in order of preference btw.


ZA Plumper Lips 01 Ruby Dazzle. I'm glad that I bought this new ZA lippy (@ Watsons) as I love it so much ! First of all, the price is wallet-friendly (sets you back @ just $13.90). Next, the lippy is moisturizing for my dry lips as it contains fill-up collagen. What I love most about this lippy is that it makes my lips look plumper & fuller (plump-up pearl) ! The lipstick color looks quite richly pigmented (from the tube itself) but when applied on lips, the finish is rich yet natural. It is perfect for those who prefer natural-looking lip colors. Easy to apply, and it helps that the lippy shape fits my lips pretty well. The texture is buttery, and it literally glides on my lips without tugging 'em (: No stickiness whatsoever, just pure comfort !

As you can see, there's not much visible lip lines and that my lips look smooth and oh-so-kissable (LOL). Oh ya, I love the ruby color as well as the colorful micro-shimmers. Mauvish kind of color. It's so me, I like ! The pretty pink sleek packaging is an added bonus, definitely :D Now, I'm lemming to get other colors ! Try it and you'll know what I mean :p

Dated Collective Hauls Part 1

This is Part 1 of collective hauls over several months. I'll just let the pictures do all most of the talking (:

MAC face brushes I bought @ Sephora Ion after seeing Christie getting 'em :D Umm.. I haven't start using as yet.

Comes in a chic black brush casing.

Candydoll Highlight (light purple).

Beauty Credit Lovely Q10 Foundation Moist and free samples ! Bought it @ Jurong Point just to try since it's on 50% discount :p

I bought this as well, Beauty Credit Nail Polish. To me, it seems to be holographic ? Pretty blue, isn't it ?

Muji Blushers I bought from Muji Ion. I guess only that oulet has the makeup section ? I don't see 'em @ other outlets. Do correct me if I'm wrong (: The pink one with swirls, is more pigmented. The shimmery orangey one is more for highlighting, not pigmented -.- The packaging does remind me of Shu Uemura, yes ?

Muji Eyeshadow Palette. I chose this neutral one and it was well pigmented for the low price tag ($13.90 I think). I did a LOTD using this sometime back, you may wanna take a look. There are other colors to choose from, eg. blue, green etc.

Urban Decay Nail Polish set I bought @ $25. I saw this selling @ $45 after I bought for a few days :D Now, I think it's sold out already ? Pretty value for $ for 7 nail polishes ! Less than $4 each !

Ardell Fake Human Lashes. I haven't tried this brand lashes before. Notice that the lash band is transparent ? Ooo hope this looks good on me :p

Burt's Bees again. Lip Balm again. Nourishing sounds good. Mango butter sounds yummy :x The beeswax sounds interesting. Fantastic reasons to buy & try eh !

Hmm I bought this Sephora Smoothing Primer since it mattifies my skin well and make it smooth for foundation powder application. 

I just bought this so that I can use Sephora voucher to offset the purchase. Sephora nano pencil. I remember the color is dark steel gray if I'm not wrong :x Btw it's mini size, something like those GWP size you know. $9, not exactly cheap -.-

Here's the LOTD featuring both the MUFE Lab Shine Metal Collection M0 Onyx and Star Collection S8 Ruby Red.

I bought this Kose Black Mask because of BOGO (Buy One Get One), shared with my lil' sis. I've been using this since many years ago and one tube can last for a long time :D It can remove the face impurities as well as fine facial hairs :p For more stubborn blackheads/whiteheads, nosepacks are still the best ! They work miracles !

Btw one tube is with the box packaging, one without. Hahas I'm so random XD~

Hmm BOGO also. Buy the Dejavu Fibrewig Extra (length) or the Lash Knockout (volume),and get the "old" Fibrewig free -.- All their mascaras are easily washed off using warm water.

Free full size skincare products given to me for.. *secret* Anyway, I've not seen this Korean skincare brand - C.A.D before. Hmm..

Garnier oil control whitening cream (free gentle clarifying foam, perfect fit & relax whitening mask) set. 

Kracie Mask @ $1.95 each, that's why I bought @ Bedok Central Watsons ^^

Super regretful buy ! $9.90, so expensive though it's Darkness brand :/ Plaza Singapura John Little is selling for $5.90 only ! I can buy 2 of these :/

Non mu-related buys. Shoes @ fabulous discounted prices from 313 New Look ! This was only $13.90 I think, comfy girlie flats I like :p

So far I like their shoes pretty much, recommended by my dear girl friend :D

Not from New Look. Bought this @ a pinky girlie shop (Wisma Atria) near BHG. High heels but it's doesn't hurt my feet much, to my delight (:

That's all for now. Part 2 coming up ♥

LOTD: Venomous Wicked Me

Do I look venomous ? Wicked enough ?

Finally I've got my hands on the MAC Venomous Villains Collection last Friday morning :D Not all of course (I wished :x).

I'm sure most of y'all know about this new collection by MAC and the response so far was pretty good judging by how fast the makeup products went flying off the shelves closets especially Bite of an Apple (matte powder blush) and Bad Fairy (nail polish).

This picture just shows part of the collection. Btw you can check out Temptalia for more reviews/swatches/news (:

For my eyes, I used My Dark Magic (Deep pink with pink pearl / Deep plum with purple pearl).

Here's the swatch of My Dark Magic.

Bite of an Apple (Soft coral pink) was bought at MAC standalone boutique at Ngee Ann City because.. Sephora Ion went OOS within 10mins :/

I simply adore this color, gorgeous !

A rough feel of how the colors appear on my face :p

Oh, I used the new Bioessence Bio-Platinum BB Cream (recently launched) on my face. I like it so far (been using for 4 consecutive days) but I won't recommend this for oily skin people.

Noticed the gold sheen ? I used Kate Gradical Eyes GD-1 (i like !). Damned :/ should have bought at BHG sales ! got 20% discount -.-

For my lashes, I used Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl plus Volume & Curl Mascara. I used L'oreal Hip Chrome Eyeliner (Black Shock) and Paul & Joe Dual Crayon 06 to line my eyes.

No lippy on.

I applied Wicked Ways (Brightened cherry red gloss that’s semi-opaque with subtle golden shimmer). This was a love-at-first-swatch purchase xD

It does not feel as sticky as the usual lipglasses. New formula ? Ooo I love how it plumps up my lips so beautifully ! The magic of makeup :p

Hmm I realized the pictures didn't do any justice to these wonderful babies T^T

I shall take pictures in the morning/noon when there is bright sunlight :D

I also bought She Who Dares. All in all, I just bought merely 4 products from this collection, which set me back by $138 $_$. How I wish I have all the $money$ in the world (sounds familiar eh :x) ! My post on this will be up soon (hopefully) :p

Ok, to end off I shall post a photo of me "looking real slim" XD

Notice the use of words ? That's simply because I've been putting on weight :'/ i'm gonna be so overweight if I don't control what I eat !

♥ 牛爾老師 Niu Er Beauty Talkshow

(all super clear photos' credits to Kosé Singapore ♥)

on 21st August, i went for a beauty talkshow conducted by the very famous 牛爾老師 Niu Er in collaboration with Kosé Singapore

that day was definitely one of my happiest days in my life :3 *grins*

these were the goodies given by Niu Er :p

not only that :x heez~

 

:

:

:

 

OMG ! see my SUPER DUPER HAPPY face ? XD

so what did i do to deserve a kiss from Niu Er ?

well, he asked us to guess his age (based on his looks) and i answered "20" :p

hmm so what is his actual age then ?

forty-three 43 !!

can you believe that he is that old ? he definitely look much younger, yes ?

well, it was not due to good genes that he look so youthful now. he shared with us how terrible his skin condition was when he was young and how he managed to improve his skin condition eventually. he strongly believe "只有懶人,沒有醜人" (there are only lazy people, no ugly people). very true indeed ! in fact, he spends at least 1-2 hours day and night for his skincare regime !

here are some helpful tips he shared.

it is good to consume white fungus (白木耳) soup with wolfberries ( 枸杞子) in the morning. super good for skin !

he encouraged us to eat more berries (strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, etc) as they are rich in antioxidants. he also mentioned that it is better to eat dried berries (higher concentration of antioxidants) as compared to fresh ones (high water content).

he recommended us to take Japanese ginseng instead of Korean and American ones (too heaty). these are for improving our blood circulation :D

now for more pictures !

everyone anxiously waiting for Niu Er..

finally ! he came in and shook hands with each and everyone of us :D

hahas i took a picture of my right hand he kissed :x

he invited ladies with skin problems to the stage for him to demonstrate how to improve their skin condition.

yea that's your truly, who was brave enough to volunteer for the mascara session :p

ooo he complimented on my eye makeup and that my real lashes are long hahas :3 super happy la

me super happy with the results :D he put mascara on my left eye only.. hmm..

see the difference :s

i'm using MAC very violet frost eyeshadow and Nature Republic Star eyeshadow no.4 (:

"class photo"

onsugar babes with Niu Er :p

Niu Er and yours truly (: (ps: he complimented that i'm pretty hehe~ happy to the max ! *blush*)
