FOTD for the night

Yesterday night was the boyfriend's parents' silver anniversary. It was held at Hilton hotel and obviously I had to amp up my makeup a step higher from my usual simple daily makeup. :) The focus here is on the eyes so lips and cheeks are kept subtle. Eyes were semi-smoky (not v smoky but enough to make an impression if you know what i mean). So here are some of the pictures taken when I reached home ~

Face:

La Prairie skin caviar foundation #porcelain blush
Benefit erase paste #fair
La Mer loose powder

Cheeks:

NARS Sin (v lightly on hollows of cheeks)
MAC Bone beige emphasize (to contour)

Eyes:

Shiseido Maquillage x Alexander Wang e/s palette BR 365
Bobbi brown gel liner #Black
YSL Fauxcil mascara
Rimmel brow pencil #Hazel

Lips:

Shiseido Maquillage x Alexander Wang lipstick RS721

Dress is by REISS :)

No false lashes in this case. Tried countless times to put them on (the girls aloud cheryl and nicola lashes) but they kept falling off! So I had to put up with only mascara because I was pressed for time.

There were many pictures taken yesterday night but very little of me because I was the photographer of the night. lol. So I will post them up after the boyfriend passes them to me (their all in his cam).

Hope you guys enjoy this FOTD!

New hair color and quick update

Hi everyone. I've decided to blog abit more often lately. But don't take my word for it, I can become lazy overnight and disappear again! Anyway, I went to Starhill on Tuesday and had my hair colored by the artistic director of SOHO, J. Wong. Its my first time my hair is not colored by Shawn Loong (of Shawn Cutler). I've had my hair taken care by Shawn for almost 6-7 years? All this while I only entrusted my precious tresses to Shawn because I had a bad experience from a previous hairdresser. So Shawn was the only person I would go to. However, J is seriously super talented and I really like him =). He really takes the effort to discuss with me what sort of color i would like my hair to be and what cut would best suit my face shape. We had a quick chat and then off he went to snip my hair. First, he trimmed my hair and then he went on to color my hair with highlights. After the highlights, he applied another color on my hair and on top of the highlights to create a 2 tone effect. All in all it took about 5 hours for the whole process but I am v happy with the end result. =)

How do you like it?? Its supposed to be an ashy green color. I'm really loving it. =) I love ashy colours as i find it compliments my complexion so much better than warm coppery colors.

Pictures with pooh ^__^. Somehow, the highlights don't look v obvious from this angle.

Meiji Hello panda choco biscuits from the boy. ^__^

My latest read.

Stuff from the salon that I got. I had no color shampoo and conditioner so I bought some. Its called Pureology and its supposed to be 100% vegan free and contains zero sulfate. Supposed to be really good for colored hair.

Somehow, not really lemming makeup anymore. I'm more interested in spending the money for clothes, shoes, fragrances and hair products. But it doesn't mean I won't blog about makeup anymore. I still have a ton of products waiting to be reviewed so I will review them slowly on my blog posts. =) I may even buy a product or two occassionally but for now, no more makeup hauls for me! I come to realise that I don't wear alot of makeup and its just a waste of money. They'll just rot inside my cupboard lol.

What are your current lemmings?

Review on BB creams, my new perfume and other stuff

Hi everyone. Sorry I have not been blogging so often lately. I have been busy, abit lazy and in general i just don't find blogging to be much fun anymore. =( Having said that i do enjoy reading other ppl's blogs like my good friend's blog Li Sze. She has tons of amazing reviews and vids so do check her out!

First, my new perfume and its by Lanvin! I got the exact same one as my friend Ju. We went shopping together a couple of weeks ago and she bought this one. We sniffed it and fell in love. However, I didn't buy it then because I wanted to wait for Marc Jacobs Lola to be launched here. However, the SA told me that Lola will not be on the shelves anytime soon. So i went back there a few weeks later and got it. =) Really like this. It has a light fresh scent. Not too musky. Loves it.

I got this eye shadow set some time ago but I haven't gotten around to posting pictures of it so here it is. It is by 'By terry'. I bought it from Spacenk but you can also find By terry products at Tangs Pavillion although I don't think they stock this shadow set.

Nail color is by NARS Tokaido express. From left to right : A golden shimmery brown, a sparkly emerald color and shimmery nude color (similar to stila kitten).

A new lipgloss from Chanel. Pretty pinky rose color ~


Current obssession : BB creams

I really like how it doesn't irritate my skin, doesn't clog it and yet it gives a flawless finish just like what foundation does for your skin. The 2 brands that I am currently using are BRTC (from Watson's) and Gowoonsesang (from SASA).

Gowoonsesang brightening bb cream. This one has a light fresh scent. This one is supposed to brighten your skin but for me the brightening effect lasts for only 10 minutes and then it is gone. Marketing gimmicks -.-! This one costs 95rm at SASA.

BRTC Jasmin water bb cream. This one has a nice floral smell and thicker in consistency therefore making is slightly more tricky to blend. This costs 99rm at Watson's.

On top is Gowoonsesang and at the bottom is BRTC.

The only downside that I can think of for BB Creams is that they usually only come in one shade. Apparently it will change its color to suit different skin tones but if you look at the picture clearly, you will see that the part where i blended the BB cream is significantly darker than my wrist. =( I am quite pale so the BB Creams are abit too dark for my skin. However, I solved that problem by applying a lighter shade of loose powder on top.

What is your current obsession?
