An Armed & Ready Essie & China Glaze Electric Beat / Prismatics from Spring 2012 collections
Essie & China Glaze both launched more than just one collection for the first quarter of 2012. My god! First from Essie, Essie Resort 2012, Essie Spring 2012 and Essie Go Overboard collection. And from the Go Overboard collection, I went straight for Armed & Ready! I was considering Go Overboard, but decided to scrape that as I have a similar shade from Orly. Armed & Ready I’ll call this a really dark, olive green accentuated... Read More
Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Eyes App + Giveaway!
So the Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara has FINALLY reached our sunny shores! I got it a month ago in Rome, have previously reviewed it here, and I’ve been using it pretty often in my EOTDs on Instagram. So far, I like it more and more! It’s just uplifting to smell the lovely scent from the Mascara whenever I apply it. I think I actually pause for a while between applications just to take in the scent. -_-” I know. Now, onward...

Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color BK912 Caviar, SV810 Tin Swatches
My darling cousin came to me for help with a makeover, but I was leaving for my honeymoon, so I sent her to get a makeover at Shiseido instead, which was free with purchases over $50. Got her to grab these two colors for me as I’ve always wanted to try them out ever since Larry Yeo did eye make up (for the Freshlook Shoot) for me with them! I got the Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in SV810 Tin, which (to me) was a silver with a flash of... Read More

A-England The Legend Collection
Not sure if any one has heard of the legend of Saint George. I first heard of it when I was in Barcelona, where Saint George is the Patron saint of Catalunya / Catalonia, Barcelona. In short, he’s the saint who fought a dragon to save a princess, pierced him with a sword and where the blood was it spilled grew red roses. If you want to read more about it here’s a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_George%27s_Day I loved A-England‘s... Read More
Rachel’s Wedding 04-02-2012
Rachel’s big day! She looked really resplendent in all her dresses and her red cheongsam for the day (tea ceremony) was gorgeous and fits her so well! I like! Plus she really worked it out for her wedding man – figure was perfect. If only I had half her sportiness… haha. From Serena's phone. Us with Gary & Serena. Us! "Come dear I make your face V shaped." *puts hand on his face* lol Zhiyun & I camwhoring... Read More
EyesCream Gel Pencil / EyesCream Liquid Eyeliner By MSH Labo
Picked up these eyeliners by MSH Labo (I got the LoveLiner too!) in Japan over at Donki : D (Seriously, I do some major shopping there every time I’m in Japan. I think I spend too much there each trip. THEY HAVE SO MUCH STUFF TO BUY!!!!) MSH Labo’s EyesCream website: http://www.msh-labo.com/eyescream/ EYEScream ah, not eyeSCREAM! (haha…) They come in some seriously shiny and hard to take picture of packaging. *sweats* Liquid Eyeliner,... Read More
DollyWink Otona Series Eyelash No. 11 Pure Sweet
Eyelash No. 11 from the stash I got a while back. Neatly fanned out lashes, somewhat invisible lash bone (if you take a look at the lash itself closely, it’s sparsely invisible where there are no lashes – the lashes make up the black portions you see. I like it, but this one isn’t as natural as I thought it would be. Nonetheless, it’s quite nice and feathery, not too stiff at all. I think depending on application (you know... Read More
Picture Polish Denim
Got a bottle of Denim from Susan (Subtle Shimmer) as I’ve actually wanted it for quite some time but didn’t have enough girls to spree with me. It’s an indigo jelly base packed with lovely blue glitter! A very unique shade this is. Application was alright, but do give it a bit more time to dry inbetween coats as I didn’t and thats why you see bald patches on my swatches. > _ < !!! They cost SGD $17 each from... Read More
Nail Art Supplies from NailTat
Some stuff I got from Nailtat Tokyo! (They have outlets in Shinjuku and Shibuya) Finally decided to post this up because even Ying posted hers so damn fast! (My trip how many months ago already man!) Atelier Re-Cue stickers. I actually visited NailTat just for this, but have yet to use it so far! I love the airbrushed roses, they're really well made and gorgeous! Close up! Beauty World (the same brand as the 3-bottle in a pack gradient... Read More
DollyWink Otona Series Eyelashes No. 9
This is Eyelash No. 9 from the stash I got a while back. It’s criss-crossed, set on an invisible lash bone. Wore this out for (a simple BKT) dinner and loved it. It’s just so natural looking (read: messy looking)! Featuring/Wearing Freshlook One-Day ColorBlends in Pure Hazel. I have no idea how this turned out looking so green really. Close Up: Love the invisible lash bone, and it’s pretty sturdy and well made as compared... Read More

Okay so these beauty boxes are going around and new box brands are coming out everywhere (new craze, like how groupon spurred so many coupon sites to sprout) and I’ve been looking at them (I like receiving stuff in the mail! *coughs* addiction *cough*) and most recently I saw reviews on Bella Box, and read about GlamaBox on 8 Days. Heard about VanityTrove from a close friend. BellaBox, $15 per month Bella Box sounds really affordable, and images... Read More
OPI DS Temptation, Orly Androgynie & Oui!
Happy new year everyone! : D New Polishes!!! Woohoooo~ Orly DS Temptation Orly Oui, Androgynie OPI Temptation ↓ Super, duper gorgeous purple + blue glass flecks (should I describe this as glass fleck? It’s shimmery, but it’s really different from shimmer.) it’s like OPI DS Magic with purple flecks/glitter bits in it. Very, very very very pretty. But better layered over black or a dark purple shade as it’s... Read More
Picture Polish Festival (Flakie) vs Nubar 2010 vs Cult Nails Clairvoyant
Everyone’s coming up with flakies recently but they’re still pretty rare as compared to say, Shatter polishes. Which is everywhere now and frankly, I’m not really a fan of shatter polishes. But flakies… *heart goes thump-thump* I fell in love with Nubar 2010 and it was … my precioussssss. In fact I got myself an extra bottle just for backups. LOL! Then Picture Polish came out with Festival (multi color flakies) and it... Read More
