Holygrail Lippies!

Sunday, November 18, 2012

Whenever it comes to buying cosmetic products such as lipsticks, foundations, etc, I will never fail to turn to Makeupalley for their ratings and reviews. So far, it is still rather the most reliable source (for me, at least) compared to most reviews sites.

Before buying something, I usually weigh out the pros and cons & THINK for a super long time before purchasing it. So that I can lessen my impulsive shopping habit :( But so far, Makeupalley has really saved so much money for me!

SO I AM EXCITED TO INTRODUCE SOME OF THE (HIGHLY RATED) PRODUCTS FROM MAKEUPALLEY :)



1) NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm

This is one of the new product that I've recently added to my lippies collection.


Alright babes, this is actually one of the highest ratings lip colour range in Makeupalley for NYX Lip Cream. It gives a lip gloss feel but it's not! It's like lipstick but in a creamy form. And I LOVE IT. The colour is so gorgeous and natural that I couldn't help staring at the mirror every single minute AHHAHA.

For my dry lips, it doesn't highlight the fine lines on my lips and it doesn't dry out my lips either. 
I would definitely crown it as my holy grail lippie if the staying power wasn't that weak :(

It can last prolly an hour or so? Oh well.



2) NYX Matte Lipstick in Strawberry Daiquiri


It's a really pretty shade of pinkish - red and I guess everyone can actually pull it off with this shade!
It does brighten up your face and IF you're having a bad hair day bad eyes day bad nose day or whatever, it will divert their attention away and let them focus on your lips! Hahaha

Tip: I always apply concealer on my lips first to eliminate any fine lines, and then apply lip balm to smoothen it out and lastly, apply the lipstick :)



3) My Holy Grail Product - Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait 025

Yes, I love this!!!!! 

The staying power is really strong compared to most of the lippies products and not only that, I LOVE THE SPARKLY SHINE THEY WILL LEAVE ON YOUR LIPS! It's so pretty and do you know that in several makeup websites they actually won the best lip product?

There are a few shades but I chose the rather natural one, so after applying it, it actually gives you a sweet look and enhances your lips (especially if you've already got great lips) and I COULD GO ON FOREVER.......


Definitely my Holygrail lippy product!


Anyway, I'm just gonna post up some photos of where we've been for the past few weeks hehe.

Night out @ Orchard 

Sometimes I wonder if he really truly means whatever he says...


Anyway, we went to Cuppage Plaza for dinner that day and went to walk along Orchard and I went to Ion to see Kikki.K's new 2013 weekly planner!!!!!

It's rather costly so I just kinda gave up the idea & thought I could get it when I'm a little richer but Dear just bought it for me :')

Here it is!!!!! SO FREAKING PRETTY. Thank goodness the calendar entries allow me to start writing in mid-December if not I'd have died of impatience alr! Hehe~


And another day out at Vivo City........... WHEN I SAW THE GELARE PROMOTION ON FACEBOOK.
HAHAHAHAH.


And yes we LOVE sweet treats!



I love Gelare Waffles!!!!!!! So fluffy & crispy at the same time!


Yum yum!

"Ready to attack!" Dear said he really love the waffles! Hahaha

Love waffles :)


But I thought that Udders ice -cream was better... I really love Udders! It's becoming my favourite Ice-cream hang out place and the ice-cream there is out of the world. Hehe. Okay not out of the world but it's really nice. Thank goodness Tampines opened an express outlet! (WITH PANCAKES SOMEMORE)


There was another day Dear ended work early at 6pm, so we met up at Nex :)

& Yes, rare occasions when I camwhore at home 'cos normally I'd be rushing for time..
See my lipstick shade? Yes, it's NYX Matte Lipstick in Strawberry Daiquiri!



Anyway, went to Ajisen Gourmet Town since his friend who's the head chef is working there and we went there to try it out :)

Yes.. I am in love with pork broth soup... Love how it goes with the ramen! SO yes, Tonkotsu soup? (& just yesterday Dear & I were at Ramen Champion Bugis Plus and I ate Tonkotsu Ramen again haha)

He ordered quite a handful so gotta wait as the chef prepares...

And Tadaa! And I love the Tako thinggy on the left side. It's nice!


Pardon my dry hair, my big eye bags, and my fat nose. 

My cute boyfriend as always

Well, really had quite a good dinner there & by the time we finished, we were so FULL!
Couldn't even walk, hahaha.


:)



Yesterday after dinner at Ramen Champion, we went to Filme Garde & caught the movie "Army Boys to Men"

& I thought the graphics was really good! It looked so real like Singapore was under attack and Merlion was bombed. & The flyer collapsed! Woah.. I wouldn't want to see that happening but it kinda made me wonder what will happen if Singapore will under such circumstances.. Given my character I'd probably die first. Hahaha.





Anyway  I was a little upset yesterday.....
I won't blog about it, because I guess it's just me being too sensitive.

I've never been like this with any of my past dates/bf because I am not the "worried if he's cheating blah blah" kind. I have no idea why I'm so sensitive, so emotional in this relationship I'm in..

It's not a bad thing, it prolly goes to show how much this relationship matter to me and how much I care for him.. but I don't want to be so tight about everything because I'm afraid I will get too controlling & he's gonna start hating me for it.

Or maybe it's because of some of my previous relationships all those shit jerks put me through which is prolly why I'm so uptight about everything.. Hmph!

Anyway, I'm gonna change for the better and JUST KEEP CALM &  EXERCISE.


Blogilates, here I come!
(Am gonna do pilates bootcamp later ;)


MUST.HAVE. DISCIPLINE.
Which means even if I don't feel like doing it, I STILL HAVE TO GO & DO IT.


BYE!

Life as an intern

Thursday, October 11, 2012

These few weeks working as an intern, having to adjust to the 8.30 - 6 office hours is definitely no easy feat.
Over the past few weeks, I've developed:

1) Severe, and I mean ABSOLUTELY SEVERE dark eye circles
2) Huge eyebags...................
3) Pimples. 'Nuff said.
4) All sorts of weird pain all over my body. Especially headache!
5) Excessive eye shit
6) Possibly even gain lots of weight


Every night I dread the idea of having to sleep late, knowing the next morning I have to wake up FREAKING early. Oh gosh..


 But one awesome thing about my workplace is.........

The people are so nice!
Everyone is SERIOUSLY nice.

That's something I am so happy about! :)


On the first day of internship, in fact, my boss actually treated us to Astons Specialties!
 Ordered grilled fish :-) Don't look tempting but it taste pretty good.....



Just going to blog about some events last month?
I finally went to Jcube for the first time! Dear and I went there during one of the days when I was still on MC, and yes, shopping waits for no (wo)man! Sickness is not an excuse to stop shopping, isn't it? Hahhaa.

Went to their Miyoc outlet and bought this uber chic dip dye denim vest!

 Freaking chio, and it's even better in real life!

Well, since pay day was near, I got myself some apparels from several blogshop.. My most recent purchase was from Missypixie! I bought their maxi dress in a really pretty light turqoise shade and that is SO my birthday dress :P


Bought some clothes from Vauntcloset as well!
Wore one of their asymmetrical pattern peplum top on a Friday when I was on my way to Blackbird Cafe to find dear~

 Asymmetrical pattern peplum top is from Vauntcloset :)

Since I was wearing a peplum skirt that day, I just tucked it in! Love it! 


Despite several attempts to SAVE MONEY, I figured out I might as well just give up. Went to eat dinner at Blackbird Cafe and my boyfriend whipped up a SPECIAL meal for me!

And yes, he combined all my favourite food in the whole.....................
 Mushroom, prawns, scallops are my favourite food in the world!! And this, was just heavenly.


On another lovely Saturday, when Dear worked 4pm, we decided to pay a visit back to Chockfull of Beans again for a late brunch, and they are just conveniently located at Changi Village!

This time, I decided to try out their mango ice blended with real juicy mango bits and whipped cream on top of it :) It was absolutely DELICIOUS. I just couldn't get enough of it! 

Ordered my Portobello Mushrooms with Eggs Benedict! And had a failed attempt at taking a decent polaroid photo.. Sigh but still~


Anyway the past few weeks Dear has been around for almost everyday. He even TRANSFORMED one of my house's old furniture into a brand new one! 

This is actually a fishtank holder but it got rusty so we were quite worried it might give way and break the fish tank. But Dear bought new paint (specially meant for rusty metal) from Homefix and gave it a brand new look!  


After that, he went to OTF aquarium and bought some aqua plants and rocks!
And..................
TADAA!

Look at how Dear's arranged the rocks! It's so pretty! Like a garden......


The aquarium has made the house a lot more livelier, together with the newly bought shrimps and tetra fishes!


So proud of him...
I was actually thinking how much we could actually save in the future if we just get old furnis from the gurunguni man and revamped them into brand-new looking ones! But prolly the idea wouldn't last long 'cos I'm not a fan of.. old stuffs user. Heheh :/



Been loving my Instax mini polaroid so much that I guess most of my pay is also spent on instax films? Just recently bought Hello Kitty instax films from Gadget Passion's warehouse.. In fact ,they are prolly the cheapest around in Singapore!


Dear insisted I use it during the month of November... 'cos it's *ahem*, my BIRTHDAY!

Well as seen on my wall, You can already see how frequent I've been using my polaroid..... Hehehe :)



Also bought some stickers to decorate my polaroid! 



Advanced Birthday Celebration for Mummy at Boon Tong Kee!
Well, we decided to give this a try for Mummy's birthday.. and wonder what's all the fuss about!

The outlet we went to was at East Coast Road, and by dinner time (On a Sunday), it was considerably packed. The waiters and waitresses were busy serving customers that somehow, they also mixed up our order which made us feel abit..... :/

Anyway, Mummy loves sea cucumber so we ordered Sea Cucumber and Mushrooms! ($24)
The mushrooms were pretty juicy.. I didn't get to eat the sea cucumber but it was finished within 10 minutes so I assume it was good too? :)


 Boon Tong Kee is well-known for their chicken rice, so of course, their chicken has to be of substantial quality. I thought that the sauce was really nice, but the chicken was cold.........

This seem like any other ordinary vegetable dish, nothing special, but nothing bad about it either. 


Steamed Egg - consisting of 3 different types of eggs. It was the ultimate dish we were looking forward to, but we were greatly disappointed. The steamed egg was so soft that it literally melted in our mouth. It was pretty bland and we thought it was a waste of money.... 


 Overall, I don't think I will be coming here except for maybe their chicken rice. It's not a restaurant that serves GOOD food that makes you crave for more. Just a normal restaurant with normal standard food.

 After dinner, Dear sent my parents home and we went to Woodlands Harbour/Bay/Whatever for dating and coincidentally, it was also Mid Autumn festival!

 And of course, the one behind him..... is his second wife. :(


Yesterday, Dear picked me up from work and we went to Jurong Point's newly opened Malaysia's food street - Boleh Malaysia! I came to know of it after reading about it on the newspaper at work. They mentioned that the food served there are all originated from Malaysia's street hawkers.

Boleh Malaysia is located on the last floor of Jurong Point (Pardon me, I haven't been to Jurong Point before.. And how could I not have?! It was indeed a great mall!) and we were pleased by how the ambience was! It was like a typical food court, however, it did have a Malaysia food street feel to it with the "temporary stalls" with the nostalgic signboards. 

There were already a huge crowd and many people were actually hovering around occupied seats, waiting for them to finish or asking them if they could share seats. Some of the stall vendors are Malaysians, after hearing their accents and their fluent Cantonese.

We wanted to go and try their KL Hokkien Mee and we ordered a small one ($4.50) and the small, is REALLY SMALL. It was quite a miserable portion and I felt quite cheated? 
But it was really good! Even better than the one we tried at Geylang.. but at only half the price!

We also ordered Fried Carrot cake with oysters and something else which we didn't find that nice.

Guess the best dish was the KL Hokkien Mee!


Anyway, after our dinner, we went to Ji De Chi for dessert and it was full-house! Thankfully we still managed to grab a seat and was served promptly. They have Durian snow ice too!!!!!

I was so tempted to try it, but decided to stay focus on Mango snow ice ($5) instead. And the price wasn't that steep either, compared to the other snow ice shops in Singapore.


 Finally it arrived!

Look at the toppings! Yogurt pearls that burst in your mouth and nata de coco! This dish is the ultimate dessert for all mango lovers!


After dessert, walked around Jurong Point before heading to the nearby prawning site.
Well, I guess I got abit upset about some stuffs so yeah, all the crazy stupid girly drama happened. Tried to control how I felt but I just couldn't take it.. Guess it hit me kinda hard. There was so much hurt inside me and so many emotions and thoughts running through at the same time that I just didn't know what to do.


Dear decided to make me feel better by asking me if I wanted to chill somewhere for a drink? I was expecting prolly some bar but he brought me to his old workplace, One Rochester.

I was so in love with the surrounding and ambience that I couldn't take my eyes off everything. There weren't much people there and the ambience was so ROMANTIC!




And yes, we were sitting by the sofa, surrounded by pretty lights and trees..


One Caramel (top)

Ordered a Appletini for myself, and it surprisingly turned out really good and refreshing! Yum! 


Freaking dark eyes (from faded eyeliner) thanks to the drama earlier on.

And I love our sofa cushion seat! 


Well, we kinda had a mushy-serious talk about the future, and I wasn't really expecting much from him, but we started discussing on where we'd hold our weddings at, style of the wedding, the food preparation etc, as if we were really going to prepare our wedding anytime soon -_-

Guess he really made my day that I ended the night smiling and with a lighter heart!


Really love nights like this....
Feel so blessed and loved right now. :)

The start of June!

Sunday, June 03, 2012

This week, went to catch Men In Black 3 with Xinyi :)
We went to Bugis Shaw Theatres in the afternoon since they had a student promo which was like $6.50 for one person only!!!!!


Camwhored on the train..






The movie was surprisingly good, but Rotten Tomato rated it as rotten? Hmm



Anyway, I am never stepping into Bugis's cinema again... Wtf it's so crampy and the floor is so weird and the seats are so low and it's so freaking far!!


After that, walked around Bugis Junction and they had this Men in Black display for people to take photos with!




Xinyi's favourite alien? 

My cool nigga alien HAHA 


Well, not much to blog about but bought a pretty leopard flats hehehe so pretty!



Wanted to get the below handmade earrings but it was like 6 dollars?! But have to admit it's really pretty!



Met dear for dinner later on, we had abalone noodle!!!!!!

HAHAH damn shiok. Have been craving it for sometime and he finally brought me there cos he wants to pamper me now like his baby heheh *blush*

But after that, we met his friends and they went fishing -_-



 Dear say I'm really patient.... Of course I am la!

 The huge pond and in the end, they caught nothing at all -_-


Went home about 6am?! 
The promo for the fishing pond was if you fish for 12-6am it's only $27. Oh well, was super tired... T_T


Exams are just next week so have been down to studying..
It's been really long since I memorised stuffs and do so much studying so I wasn't so used to it. But... I know I really have to do it!


And while studying, I was packing my table at the same time and found my bag of memories with him :)

The receipts, movie tickets, museums' entry passes, zoo passes etc... There were so many!



 And guess what came into the mailbox this week?
Postcard from Jeslyn!

She's been away for 1 month now in Seychelles, doing her attachment.. Feel really happy for her because she's enjoying what she's pursuing now! :)


Sucha pretty postcard! :)



And yesterday was Bare Your Sole 2012! 

The main aim of this charity event was to raise funds for projects such as building houses for those in underdeveloped countries. I don't mind donating $10 to support the cause but walking barefooted, getting pricked by the dry grass etc was a no-no -_- 

But still, we had to turn up since our teachers say it's crucial and is part of our tutorial attendance blah blah. Who the hell forces people to do charity right? Wtf it should be of our own accord. Because it wouldn't be a cause if we don't want to do it.

The only thing that made me look forward to this event was my Year 2 classmates :( Miss them, now that I'm in Year 3... 

Don't really fancy my Year 3 class but thankfully Lydia and Meryl are in the same class as me :)
Made school less torturous. Can't imagine facing my Year 3 classmates for the next half of the year. Don't know why but some people in the class seems a bit.. FAKE. Yucky yucks.

Hahah I'm not the only one who thinks that way though.


Anyway after Bare Your Sole, went to Kallang Leisure Park for brunch, went home and napped before going out again to meet dear!!!

We ordered Tamago Ramen which is a pork-stock based creamy soup, fried gyoza and fried rice at Cuppage Plaza's OHSHO. They have the best gyoza in town man!

It's crispy and and the skin is thin enough.. 

Tamago Ramen! :)


Had a great time with him! 

His friend, Brendon showed us the countries his fiance and him were planning to go during their honeymoon after getting married next year. Dear and I were also excited because there were so many things we had in common! We want to go skiing together at Melbourne/Korea, we want to feed the penguins/dolphins.. So many things :) So they suggested we go together like a double couple holiday trip!

Next year I might be going to Melbourne! ^_^


And a photo of us to end the post......
Sorry for the damn bad quality it's from my iphone heheh
