Just another Sunday

What's up, what's up !!
Lazy weekend for me, recovering from the Chinese New Year visiting ;) Instead of doing nothing at home, I have suggested for my OOTD photographer to brush up on his skills. Haha... So here you are before making our way to Orchard to checkout the latest promotions in JTB !! Yeap.. next trip planning in progress, JAPAN... Can't wait !!

Simple white shirt dress - Zara, Flats - Pazzion

What do you think of the pictures? Taken with my iphone and no photoshop at all !! I am happy with them ;) OOTD photographer is improving faster than I imagine.. haha.

Had to show you my lunch, the famous Shi Lin chicken cutlet (bigger than my face). It was written big at the store that they will not cut the chicken for you.. WTH !!

Of course, since we are in Orchard it will be absurd to end the day without any shopping. My purchases for the day ;) Seriously, shopping is the best retail therapy ever..

My first Diptyque candle ;) Well the popular scent Baies is out of stock so I got Verveine(lemon verbana) for a start ! I always have a thing for citrus scent.. I heard before that the type of scent which attracts you is actually what it's lacking in your body. Not sure how true is that though.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I've got myself the YSL iconic fuchsia pink to match the romance.. <3

Talking about V-day, you know what... I will be spending it in KL office.. :( Yes, my boss is so mean to send me on a business trip on the day where I am supposed to be with him... Completely pissed..

Last up, I have been wanting to try Jo Malone since a while ago and never really had a chance to take the time trying out the entire range. Got a few which I am interested in but I got Nectarine Blossom in the end with sample of wild bluebell.. Going to look and sweet for this Valentine's day.. Hehehe.

Oh, I am sure you heard the raves on this Supermud Glam Glow clearing treatment. It's now in Singapore!! Award winning item, how can I miss it. The salesgirl at Escentials is nice enough to scope some samples for me.. Will blog about it after I try it out !! Stay tuned ;)

What is your favorite scent in Jo Malone and Diptyque? Leave a comment and share with me !

Time for some Krispy doughnuts!! It's my first time trying them. Well, I am only willing to buy it without having to queue. Got it in less than 5mins on a Sunday, has the craze died off ??

For the sweet tooth friends, the bottom 2 is just right for you ;) Kit-Kat and vanilla glazed

 Chinese New Year is officially over for me.. Stuffed with food for the entire week, especially ba kwa and kue Lapis. Something I just couldn't resist. I have to say that my mum's cooking is getting better each day... haha. Thumbs up Mummy !! Before ending the post, got to share the Lo-Hei prepared by her.. Extra ingredients Guava, mango and lemon leaves make it super fresh !!

A simple dinner cooked by her last night, filled with warmth and love.. <3 Have I mentioned that her eight-treasure tea is magnificent... Wish you can try it.. !!

Times flies, I was just busy helping Mum to prepare for CNY 2 weeks ago and now it's coming to an end. Hope you have collected enough hongbao to start your shopping spree ;) Till the next one, I wish everybody a super romantic Happy Valentine's Day ! If you do not have that special someone, V-day is all about love sharing to me, share your love with the world... For those with that special someone, I wish you an ever-lasting relationship through both the good and bad times... Kisses

My Make-up Secrets

Hey Guys,

What's up !! Hope you had a great week. My week has been super tiring yet interesting. Maybe I am taking up too much... Full time job, part time studies in fashion designing, part time blogger, full time mummy for Denver and squeezing time to think of new designs... Not forgetting the frequent checking of all available social medias!! OMG, I am exhausted.. Having said that, I am really enjoying my classes. No complaints, no complaints...
With this super tight schedule, I managed to take some time-off during lunch for the most relaxing "retail-therapy". When it comes to make-up and skin-care, you know what is the tip? Buy little but buy often.. Never buy everything at one go, can you imagine when everything finishes at the same time?? You are going to burn a big hole in your pocket. @-@

Here you are, my little purchases..

miniature perfumes are for decorations only.. haha

Introducing my find, Yves Saint Laurent "Top Secret" Lip & Contour shaper.

Selling at 55SGD

No surprise, it comes with the easy applicator

I have really super dry lips. For those who know me you must know that I love peeling my lips, especially when I am nervous. Tried this just once and I can feel instant results!!
Sick of the fine lines you see after applying your matte lipstick, try this! It is supposed to plumps lips and redefines the lip contour, offering comfort, definition and radiance. Sugar extract from beech wood capable of boosting glycosaminoglycan production, to restore balance to lip volume from the inside and produce visible plumping.

Use it as a primer or even on its own. The salesperson told me it's good for cold weather too! Have I mentioned that it smells amazing!! I love it, so try it! ;)

Nextup, my all time favorite under-eye concealer

Selling at 42SGD

I am using the "Ginger" tone

If I can only choose 1 makeup, that will be my concealer. Right, I say that after doing my eyebrow embroidery ;p
My dark circles and puffiness are quite bad, doesn't help with the sinus problem though. Tried many brands like: Mac, Shu Uemura, Anna Sui, Bobbi Brown, etc. I would say Anna Sui is not too bad, but it's not convenient to buy this in Singapore. After trying NARS, am addicted to it. This is my 5th tube! It's creamy, good coverage yet not too thick so it doesn't look cakey. Good texture, not dry and you don't have to worry seeing those fine lines ;)

NARS radiant creamy concealer is a multi-action formula that instantly obscures imperfections, blur lines and wrinkles, hides dark circles and signs of fatigue, hydrating and luxuriously smooth ! x

 Final recommendation, am sure you have heard about it. The famous meteorites balls !!

Love this to the max! Smells good, looks good and it gives you an natural radiant looking skin. I dislike using foundation, powder or liquid. I have been using loose powder or bronzer for my daily makeup, tried many brands and always find myself going back to this. If you have never try this before, make sure you put it in your next month's purchase list !

Hope you like my recommendations. ;) Any good products to share with me? Leave a comment!

Some updates on my school. First 2 modules on textile printing and basic apparel design. Did textile printing during my school days so there is nothing new about this. Basic apparel design class really gets my adrenaline running. From research on any pictures I like, to sketches, to illustrations and the ultimate technical flats drawings, all these sound so cool to me!! Can't wait to share with you my drawings after 9weeks !! woot woot...
Really wanted to blog about my trip to India, hope I have time to do it soon.

Till the next one, keep me in your mind !! xoxo..

Oh, and here's a picture of my beloved Denver and his new toy !!

We name the new toy "Big Eyes" @-@

Have a nice weekend !!
