Kiko Milano Polishes Swatches
Some Kiko polishes I got in Rome, Italy. 245 (red) This cost me 3.90 Euros. The rest (below) are all 1.50 Euros (some promotion going on in store… I saw Kiko in Barcelona again but this time round they had no promos on the nail polishes, so I got make up instead! Prices in Italy and Barcelona were all the same.) 299 (teal blue, pearl-ascent) Reminds me of Zoya Kotori. But this is not as sheer. 301 (purple,... Read More
Accessorize Polishes (from London!)
From the moment I reached Europe I have been popping in and out and in and out of Accessorize shops to the extend where when le husband sees one he will automatically point it out to me. Hahaha. Anyway I was there only for the AWESOME polishes! (Which unfortunately, Singapore shops don’t carry.) Emerald City, Magic, Princess, Pink Spice, Aztec At £4 per bottle they’re pretty okay priced – but it’s a pretty small bottle at... Read More
Lancôme Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara
I saw a new mascara which I didn’t recall seeing in Singapore on the shelves of the EU airports (transitted at Paris, Oslo, Rome…) and picked it up after I double confirmed (thanks Val & Kas!) that it wasn’t avail in Sg yet! Aiyah always like trying new things you know. Haha. It costs me 26 €, which works out to about $43.88 SGD at x 1.688 conversion at Rome’s airport. I got the non waterproof version in 01 Black. The...

Buys in Italy & Barcelona!
Travel. Cannot escape from buying things one. *full of excuses* hehe. So some significant purchases in Italy and Barcelona… Ferragamo Heels Have never been a fan of Ferragamo, but which girl doesn’t love shoes, especially when the heels are so pretty!? Costs 318 € before VAT refund. This was at sales price marked down from $450 IIRC. Bottega Bracelet I saw it in pink… And the rest was history. Happy color! Costs 160 €... 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
More Deborah Lippmann Polish Swatches
Ordered some Deborah Lippmann polishes from Luxola.com last year during their Christmas sale! There was 35% off : D So I got them for about averagely 22 bucks each? It came with a free sample bag! Thank you Luxola. I got: (from left to right) - Good Girl Gone Bad (S $35) - I Know What Boys Like (S $33) - Pop Life (S $33) I quite like shopping with Luxola.com, awesome free / next day delivery and great customer service (they will sms you...

VanityTrove, BellaBox, Glamabox
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
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

Thanks to Make Up Store (Thanks Doreen, Gwen & Elaine!) for their invites, I got to preview their latest collection, for Fall/Winter 2011! Presenting… The Pure Collection. This collection sees the release of soft muted colors, in beige/browns and a really delicate shade of purple… with an exceptional orange in this otherwise toned down collection! The details they paid to the press event was super full of effort. They... Read More
Had an AWESOME XMAS this year!
Everyone’s super in the mood of giving – Plus my honeymoon is happening soon (4th Jan)… And I got into the whole holiday mood like super early in this month. After the interesting gift swap party at Changi V Hotel with really awesome friends, I met up with more pals from online! I spent my single days / attached & weepy days with these people… watched them get married and they watched me get married too. Super awesome... Read More
Steady x Agnes B Mook / Monster Hunter Mook
So I haven’t been purchasing mooks recently, frankly nothing much to buy… Till I spotted this on KinokuniyaCBJBPromotions (really love the website!). The main reason was that… IT COMES WITH A ZIP! The material was nice to touch too – fairly smooth and it’s roomy with long handles for carrying on the shoulders – this is just nice for my EU trip. *whew* Lightweight, Zip, soft. Pink hearts with glittery silver “ab”... Read More
L’Oreal Color Infallible Eyeshadow
Got darling Anne to help me grab some L’Oreal eyeshadows for me from HK since I always can’t seem to find the Infallibles in store. > : | (Eh, how come on the packaging it’s printed as “Infaillibles”? I’m thoroughly confused but nevermind that as long as the eyeshadows aren’t fake.) She got me 3 shades! 006 All Night Blue 013 Burning Black 005 Purple Obsession They each cost 89 HKD, which is around SGD $14.83... Read More
Quick Japan Loot (July 2011) Review
It’s been almost 6 months since I came back from Hokkaido/Tokyo in July 2011, so this is really overdue PLUS I’ve reviewed quite a fair bit of the stuff I’ve used, so here goes: FANCL HTC COLLAGEN TABLETS Don’t really need to explain why I bought it – the bottled ones are TOO HEAVY to carry back! So this became the best buy from JP whenever I’m there – at 1500+JPY per packet it’s much cheaper than SG’s... Read More
Cult Nails Clairvoyant, Ozotic Mish Mash 532, Glitter Gal Lizard Belly, Color Club Untamed Luxury & De-luxe-cious
First of all, an awesome combination. Ozotic Mish Mash 532 over Chanel Black Pearl (dies happy even if I walk into the path of a speeding car while staring at my nails non stop. Morbid. HAHA) Blurry Picture brings out the holo goodness Both polishes dry super fast, and no problems with application. : D Next, Cult Nails Clairvoyant (Unicorn Puke) It was previously known as Unicorn Puke. Super cute name! (For the people who don’t know –... Read More
Chanel Peridot vs Ozotic 507
Ozotic Pro 507 is really different from the other Multi Chromatics. It’s opaque in two coats. Ozotic Pro 507 It’s a lovely multi chromatic shade, shifts from gold – green to green – blue (a bit!). Can get a little streaky like the Chanel Peridot, but evens out later (it’s _less_ streaky than Chanel Peridot to me). I know it was a Chanel Peridot sort of dupe, but it’s not really close at all – they may belong... Read More
Le Awesome iPhone Camera Macro / Wide Angle Lens
Decided to bring in the iPhone Camera Lens to ahbengshop.sg after I tried it – it’s freaking awesome. Now we don’t really use the wide angle lens, but it can be handy especially for group shots, and as for Macro, ITS AMAZING. Just look at these images taken by my wedding photog (who bought the lenses from me! heh). The lens can be purchased on www.ahbengshop.sg at $16.90 – now with 20% off specially for Christmas!

Travelogue: Hokkaido ✈ (Day 1) @ Furano, Farm Tomita, Ashibetsu
(Geez.. I’m super back dated. This trip was in July.) Our Day 1 plan was to head to Furano, where Farm Tomita is located at (for the lavender fields!) which was about anything from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours from Sapporo (depending on if you took the bus, JR, chartered, drove via the highway or small roads etc and if you’re willing to pay toll!) Toll is about 1800 – 2500 JPY depending on where you’re traveling from/to. That’s... Read More
Ozotic Holographic & Ozotic Mish Mash Swatches
Ozotic High Impact Holographic 604 Holographic Champagne Gold. Very pretty to look at, scattered holo… Ozotic Holographic 526 Black base with scattered holo particles. Doesn’t really look like what it does in the bottle, but i find it a nice base for the other Ozotic layering polishes (like 505, 534, 505, 502… so on and so forth). But seriously, too expensive as a black base for the layering polishes. Ozotic Mish Mash,... Read More
