The Random Post

The random post(s) are here to stay. Or so I thought. Blogging about non-beauty related stuff... and what's coming next for beauty-related posts (product mentions/reviews/events).

Some time ago, I found this beauty lying on the wet bathroom floor. For a moment, I thought it was dead. And luckily, I did the right thing by picking it up gently by its wings instead of washing it away. It was very much alive!

It didn't fly away, even when I touched it several times. Gave me ample time to get my camera to capture these shots.

"LOVE 爱" movie is one of the "now showing" movies in the cinemas. It's been a long time since I last saw Ethan Ruan on-screen. To be honest, I was quite "disturbed" by his current hair-style... *SAD* Mark Chao certainly looks better in the movie poster.

Anyone watch "LOVE 爱" yet?

These simple-decorated buttercream cakes spell - nostalgia... I used to dislike the taste of the saltish buttercream when I was young. Now, I obviously don't :d~

Pontian Wanton Mee... and my must-order kopi!

More Instagram-ed pics of food... & kopi (lol)

My bro bought the Olympus Tough (shockproof/waterproof) for ~$300. Takes pretty good pics, judging from the ones he took during his KL trip. He also bought an oven toaster (Tefal) :D

Watched "This Means War" with my sis. Thanks F*** Magazine for the premiere tix and mouse pad! We were laughing along with everyone else in the movie theatre throughout the show. Not as action-packed as I thought. Overall, it was a pretty watchable movie. By the way, Chris Pine & Tom Hardy look so much better in the movie as compared to the poster. Hmm... Reese Witherspoon was the opposite though.

My 1st time trying Share Tea... I still prefer Gong Cha! Very addicted to GC Oolong Milk Tea (House Special) ♥

To end off this random post, I received a goodie package (CandyDoll/Kameria/L'egere) last week (Thanks!). Will be featuring them in the upcoming posts.

My favorite $2 hauls from Nanairo - eyebrow mascara, black glitter eyeliner, mosaic blush. Best buys ever. These are also sold at Guardian Pharmacy/John Little at least $8, some >$10. What a rip-off!

Oh, another best buy from Watsons. Neutrogena Fine Fairness BB Cream UV 50% off = $10.95 *HAPPY MAX* I've been wanting to try this for the longest time!

Ok, that's all. Have a great weekend! (:

In the mood to HAUL

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! (:
