Random: "The Sheng Siong Show" @ Mediacorp

This took place 2 weeks ago. I shall try my utmost best to catch up on my dated blog posts >.<

And so, it was a hard time (again) deciding where to settle our dinner. It wasn't long before we decided on Japanese Gourmet Town (3-in-1 concept). It houses Botejyu (Osaka), Yoshimi (Hokkaido), and Ajisen (Kyushu).

It's been ages since I last had Ajisen Ramen. It took me quite long to finally decide on Crayfish Ramen Set which comes with drink (iced lemon tea) + side dish (ebi fry). The ebi fry tasted alright. I like that it's not over greasy.

The noodles was surprisingly good! Springy texture without the starchy taste. The noodle portion was just right thankfully, coz I always had a hard time finishing the noodles in the past. I don't like to waste food, you see. Overall, it wasn't enough to satisfy my hunger (b'coz of the pathetic tiny bit of crayfish meat).. I was still pretty hungry after which =.=

Tasted pretty good but too much overkills. The sunny-side-up is oh-so-tempting!

My sis reached Vivocity and we proceeded to our destination - Mediacorp. Train to Toa Payoh then cab over. Supposed to reach at 630pm but we reached at 7ish. We were still early though coz "The Sheng Siong Show" was supposed to start at 8pm.

We were just in time to see 'em rehearse :D

This super lucky lady won $12,220 (!!!!!!) just by shopping at Sheng Siong.. *faints*

Dasmond Koh & Kym Ng. Kym so pretty!

Aiyo.. I thought no one will watch this show.. My colleague actually sms-ed me and ask why I there.. She saw me laughing on TV (SO UNGLAM lor!) =.=" Her bf even posted on FB the same question.. So paisei hahas!

Overall, the show was pretty boring seriously. Not very entertaining somehow.

Well, went there to experience how a "LIVE" variety show is like.. Also to listen to Jones Ong 石康鈞 sing "LIVE".. He wasn't feeling well that night, but he sang pretty okay (though not the best). Ah mei also agree that he has a good voice.

Think b'coz of time constraint, he sang only ONE song "另一种温暖".. Super nice song though the MTV is kinda off..

And he seemed to like black alot.. The previous time @ Cozycot event, he also wore black.

The show ended at 9pm and we went Toa Payoh for supper @ MOS Burger.

Ending this random post with 2 black & white photos of yours truly.. :D

SHARE: Illamasqua Top 10 CULT products

Recently, I received this e-mail from Illamasqua. I've been receiving frequent updates ever since I purchased from the Illamasqua website (last year). Thought I'll just share with y'all their Top 10 CULT products.

 

About Illamasqua:

"Illamasqua is the product of a heady mix of influences. Its roots stem from the dark and illicit 1920s club scene, and combine a rich heritage in the manufacture of make-up for film and theatre. It also takes inspiration from members of the ‘alternative scenes’ for whom self-expression is paramount. Alternative cultures have always dared to be dramatic. They have an emotional attachment to making up. It’s an expression of their darker side, a release for their alter ego.

Illamasqua is for the bolder person hiding inside all of us. It is an act and an attitude. A symbol of tolerance. A celebration of idiosyncrasies. A confident statement of self-ownership."

Read what the blogosphere has to say about each of Illamasqua's CULT favourites.

Lipstick in Box (Deep scarlet red, matt finish)

"I am so ridiculously in love. I've drank tea, ate my lunch, yappered away and it's still going strong. This lipstick has some serious staying power which I am very much impressed with. It's a fabulous matte and is a lovely deep scarlet"

hellcandy.com

 

Liquid Metal in Surge (Molten Pewter)

"I adore this colour, it's very unique...This is an extremely creamy product which does not dry at all…paired with a green it looks like a beautiful olive-metal colour. With brown it looks more golden and with silvers, greys, and blacks…VERSATILITY."

ai-rori.blogspot.com

 

Cream Blusher in Dixie (Warm coral pink, dewy finish)

"I love it! This could genuinely be my Holy Grail blusher! The pigment is amazing ... It blends and builds beautifully, stays in place throughout the day/night, and best of all – remains dewy on your skin! A rarity, even amongst the best of them!"

makeuptomakeout.com

 

Sealing Gel

"Instead of dunking your brush in water, dunk it in this genius little bottle of gel and it turns any of your eye shadows (and let’s face it, you’ve got a lot of them) into a waterproof liquid liner. Genius. And for £10.50 for two bottles, this isn’t a want – it’s a NEED."

thebeautystop.com

Pure Pigment in Ore (Rich russet bronze)

"This is one of those products that shocks and awes the minute you swatch it. Ore is a medium-dark metallic bronze with soft red undertones, multicoloured shimmer, and a dazzling sheen...so luxe and full of depth...it really needs to be seen to be believed."

temptalia.com

 

Nail Varnish in Collide (Bright neon pink, satin finish)

"It's hard to capture how incredibly bright and glowing this colour is. I'd describe it as a neon pink without any blue undertones...this nail polish is hot, hot, HOT! Love it for summer. This is the third day of wear and there is very little wear and tear. Love Illamasqua polishes!"

misschievous.tv

Powder Blusher in Hussy (Bright candy pink, matt finish)

"It's a gorgeous matte coral pink that is super-pigmented. REALLY super-pigmented ... The finely milled matte powder blends seamlessly and melts into the skin. (It) looks incredibly natural and lasts all day. By far, Illamasqua Hussy is the best blush I own. Yup-I said it. Best blush ever!"

beauty-reflections.com

Highlighter Brush

"The brush hairs are synthetic and extremely soft – softer than any other natural-haired brush I’ve owned ...This brush is the perfect size for placing a highlighter on your face, doesn’t shed, and picks up the right amount of product."

allurabeauty.com

Satin Primer

"Everything is different with this primer ... The skin looks healthy and feels moisturized. It gives the most amazing dewy finish which looks super sexy! ... This is my must have! It's the kind of product that you can’t live without once you try it."

Bronzing Duo

Glint / Writhe

Soft luminous peach/golden tan

Glint / Burnish

Soft luminous peach/golden bronze

"The colours have some shimmer to them, but not in an over the top way. It makes your face gleam, rather than shine. The darker colour is perfect for contouring, it's not too shiny for it. And the lighter colour gives a beautiful glow to the face."
