Here's a swatch!! I couldn't wait and did it almost immediately!


My tool box for my face's maintenance...


It was only half full 2 weeks ago! And now almost filled to the brim with my loots from Sunday's mini shopping spree and today's arrival of my first ever mineral makeup from TF. =P


My nail polish collection also filling up my little plastic basket... time to find bigger storage for my makeup and nail colours! I need more moolahs!!! =X

Blush Origin + Dodo Club Swatch

Do you know who made the first powder blush?

Go to www.bourjois.es and you notice that the name on the title bar says "Chanel.com".

This is a review from ebay.

What did you learn today?

Bourjois is the sister brand of Chanel but underrated in Singapore. Actually I know of girls swearing by Bourjois blusher, claiming that it's very good. I didn't quite believe because Bourjois is never a popular brand in Singapore. I was so wrong... Haha~ So peeps, must learn to appreciate underrated things. =P You'll never know if it's actually something good that you've been missing all the while~

Swatch on the 4 new colours I bought at Dodo Club on Sunday:


2 coats each. =) My comment on these nail polishes from Dodo Club is that they are very thick. I've bought these striking colours with an intention in mind - I wanted to create nail arts on my nails with them on a base colour of my normal pinkish tones. However these nail polishes are quite thick and the thick consistency makes it hard to control.

Oh, in addition, let me comment about the cutesy Candy Gloss as well. I don't really like it because I find it quite dry on my lips. There're lots of glitters, but have to load on real lip gloss to make it shine. May post a pic of me wearing the Candy Gloss someday~ Cheers!

Mini Shopping Spree

Went Orchard yesterday for movie with dear and ended up in a mini shopping spree.



Here are my loots from Dodo Club @ Cineleisure and Basic Beauty @ Heeren~

Still inside the shopping bags...


Taadaa!!!


From Dodo Club:


4 brand new nail colours to add to my collection! My collection is growing at an alarming rate (just like my waistline :X)! The Candy Gloss packaging looks yummy and I couldn't resist buying! I had wanted to get a gloss with a lip wand instead, but later I saw Candy Gloss... which is not only cuter, it's cheaper too! =P



Open the mini Ferrero-Rocher-look-alike base and taadaa~ Candy Gloss in Sexy Pink!


I tried some stuff in Dodo Club and even took pics before I cleaned the testers off! =P Here's a swatch from Dodo Club:

1 - Funfun Popcheek (blusher) in #1 Pink Pearl
2 - Star Pearl Powder in #1 White Star
3 - Star Pearl Powder in #3 Violet Star
4 - Star Pearl Powder in #5 Green Star

From Basic Beauty~ Koji mascara, Koji eyebrow pencil and Koji eyelash curler!


The mini eyelash curler for lashes at the ends and also the lower lashes~


This mini shopping spree may look mighty tiny but seeing is deceiving... these loots cost me over 50 bucks!!

Anyway perhaps can go watch She's The Man... if you are watching, gimme the tix stub!! I wanna go exchange for freebie from I Nouvi!



=P

I love this Chinese blog

超爱 Majolica Majorca 的彩妆。可惜新加坡没有 Majolica Majorca 的产品... 幸运的是同事将要到日本去，所以便到网上游览并寻找我要的颜色让她帮我买一些 Majolica Majorca 的粉底，唇蜜和眼影回来。(^_^)v

许许多多的眼影颜色让我不知从何挑选。*blur* 还是到 LD 问问彩妆高手们吧！

好快便有了回应。LD 里的网友让我参考这个超棒的 blog ，实在太好了！这位漂亮博客在她的中文网志里和大家分享了好多好多关于彩妆的贴士！！

看着她的网志让我希望能有朝一日能和她一样擅长运用彩妆，再把我的心得在这里和大家分享。有可能吗？(O_o)? *抓头* 我并不知道，但我会试着做到！要为我加油哦！！ :D

[added later] A translation for my non-Chinese friends... I hope my translation is not too sucky. :p Here goes~

Super in love with Majolica Majorca makeup. It's a pity that Singapore doesn't carry Majolica Majorca products. Fortunately my colleague's going to Japan, so I surfed the net and searched the shades I want, and let her buy the Majolica Majorca foundation, lip gloss and eyeshadows for me. (^_^)v

So many colours that I dunno which to choose. *blur* Guess I'll ask the makeup experts in LD!

Soon there was a reply. A fellow forumer (is there such a word?!) from LD referred me to this super nice blog, which is great! This pretty blogger shared with us a lot of makeup tips in her Chinese blog!

Looking at her blog, I wish that I can one day be as good with makeup as she is, and share my own makeup knowledge here. Is it possible? (O_o)? *scratch head* Well I dunno, but I'll try to make it! Wish me all the best!! :D

[random thought] I dunno why people dislike Chinese, I always think Chinese is a simpler language. See! Much shorter too~ :P

Joining the MMU Craze

MMU = Mineral MakeUp (^_^)v

I'm ordering from Twisted Fayte (TF) for my first batch of mineral makeup! It'll also be the first time I'm purchasing online! Weeeee~ Can't wait for the loot to arrived!

Initially had wanted to order from Pure Luxe (PL). Even browsed the webby and chosen the colours already but haven't sent the order... kept hesitating. Haha~ Then recently realised from LD (my fave forum) that TF has started a Singapore branch! Also, the reviews for TF were good so I'm getting from TF instead.

The shades I shortlisted from PL's huge variety of colours include: Envy, Olive You!, Divine, Moss, Sage, Moon Glow and a Lip Wand - Deja Vu. Not getting a lot cos I'm only a beginner!!! Keke~ Now have to start looking for similar shades in TF liao! =P Looking forward to my first mineral makeup loot!!

[Later] Ordered!!!!! Bought 7 colours from TF for less than 30 bucks, inclusive of shipping! I can pay via internet banking somemore wor~ Weeeee! I'm a happy girl today to complete my first online transaction. Haha~ And here's a list of my choice colours:
♥ Greens and Browns - Offensive, Emerald City, Try Again
♥ Nudes and Golds - Pale Moon, Maize
♥ Silky Shimmers - Bought It, Saw It

So far I'm only confident with golden and green shades, so I'm playing safe and sticking to those. I'm really amazed with all the ladies from LD, some can buy over 30 colours at one go! And those babes own sooooo many different shades and colours! Look so lovely~ But no use for me though - if I'm not gonna use those shades, I'm just wasting my precious hardearned $$$. Keke~ Perhaps will buy more later? For now, I can't wait for my loot to arrive~! (^_^)v

Majolica Majorca

Who won't love Majolica Majorca makeup packaging?! Tell me which girl won't??!! Hahaha~ I love Majolica Majorca!!! Sadly Majolica Majorca is not available in Singapore... I was so lucky that I could go to Japan for training because that's where I get to buy my Majolica Majorca stuff!!!

My loot from my Japan trips last year... consisting Majolica Majorca stuff, Ettusais blusher puff, Shiseido Dramatical Eyes mascara, etc. Missing in the pic are my Maxfactor 2000 Calorie Mascara and Kanebo Essence in Lip Color Gloss. Oooo~ and I bought a 500ml Kose Medicated Sekkisei as well~ (^_^)v


My Majolica Majorca stuff while still in their original packaging... comes with free samples for UV White whitening softener and cleansing foam!!


My Majolica Majorca powder in its pretty case that's super attractive!! And Honey Dip Gloss in GD822~ Uber love them both!!


I love my Ettusais blusher puff too... I think is in Peach, according to the katakana at the bottom. Keke~ The puff was clean, nice and fluffy when I just bought it. Now it's still nice and fluffy, but already stained entirely in the peachy shade. Keke~


Bought this eyelash comb from Japan too! The pin-like comb can comb through the eyelashes and separate them very nice if all clumped up by mascara. But cleaning those pins is a chore!!


Anyway my bro downloaded some pretty fonts for me to use!!! See that flowery flowery one~! Kawaii or not?? Keke~

Here's a Chinese blog with tutorials on using Majolica Majorca products, which are only available in Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Sharing with ya~ http://www.wretch.cc/blog/tpaobj - IMO not easy to navigate, can slowly browse through under "Categories". :)

My colleague's going to Japan soon and I've already emailed her a long long long long loooong list of Majolica Majorca stuff I want. I hope I didn't scare her! But of course I told her since it's a working trip, her priority will be her work and that she enjoys herself. But if she have time to spare, please please please help me buy some of those Majolica Majorca stuff which is easily found in Japan at the drugstores. Although I gave her a long list, even if she comes back with a couple of items I'll be uber happy already!! Yeah~ =D

CAWAII magazine

This is CAWAII magazine, originally from Japan but this one is translated into Chinese in Taiwan. I bought this last weekend and I love the magazine a lot!!

My first Cawaii magazine was bought in December 2004 when I was in Japan for my training. I bought because Ayumi was on the cover and looking really pretty!! It's pretty interesting, introducing the latest fashion trend, makeup looks and hairstyles, with minimal words and full of pretty pics! Thus not a problem when I can't read Japanese, the pics-filled pages already made it a magazine worth buying!

Last Sunday when I was at Takashimaya's Kinokuniya, I saw this magazine at the Chinese magazine section. It was the original Japanese magazine but translated into Chinese in Taiwan. So now it's still filled with fashion and makeup pics of gorgeous Japanese girls yet I can read it and understand. Yeah!!! I bought it without hesitation... love the magazine! Here's a sneak preview of this issue's "tutorials":

Makeup tutorials!!! A total of 8 of them!! Here's 4 previews~



Seems like the makeup trend in Japan now is to look more tanned after applying makeup!! Which is contrary to here where everyone's trying to achieve a fairer complexion with whatever kinda powders available. But look at these Japanese babes' before (small insets) and after photos!! Amazing eh? Keke~



Hairstyle tutorials!!! There are 4 of them if I remember correctly. (I'm at my boyfriend's place and the magazine's not with me now :P) So here's 2 previews~



Really wonder how much time these Japanese babes need every morning to prepare! Imagine going through the 10 steps of hairstyling and 20 over steps of dolling up every single morning!! Lazy me can never do that! In fact I always spend minimal time on my looks, just simple comb my hair, put on toner and moisturizer with SPF, and off I go to work!!! When will I ever ever learn to doll up, and actually try to doll myself up?? I hope it's not never!!! I must start learning soon~~~

Hmmmmm... must learn! I don't even know how to draw my brows or line my eyes. One word: PATHETIC! What kind of lady dunno how to doll herself up? I'm too lazy! I must strive to learn and look better! And if wanna learn, then must try!!! So I might be doing a FOTD with EOTD soon. Perhaps perhaps perhaps. Haha! Stay tuned~~~ (^_^)v

EOTDs and TFS Nail Color

Hihi! Here's a webby to share: www.toxify.net/jezebella

This gorgeous girl posted lots of her EOTDs and she totally rocks in her eye makeup! I can never blend the colours so well like her~ Although in fact I won't put on so much eye makeup like her as well. I'll look too drama!! Haha~ But have to admit that her makeup skill is really power!

I was in Orchard yesterday with Keelyn and while at The Face Shop at Wisma Atria, I bought 3 bottles of nail polish!! S$2.50 each~ =D


Taken at 翡翠拉面小笼包 at Takashimaya SC.

Here's a swatch for your reference! Pardon my ugly fingers though, I was just being helpful to test the colours for ya!! =P Keke~



Cheers~

My Humble Collection

My very humble cosmetic collection~

My makeup pouch (freebie from Japanese ViVi mag) and a box (recently bought from Daiso at IMM) to store my small collection:


In the box:


In the pouch:


I couldn't gather everything as some items are missing in my messy room, but i can only remember 2 missing items so far: an unopened MaxFactor mascara and a half-used ELF lipgloss.

Anyway the SilkyGirl eyeshadow (in Golden Emerald) and eyeliner (in Olive Green), "The Colour Workshop" set and SunKiller are brand new!! Even now I haven't start using any of those yet! keke~ Here's my loot, accomplished on 10 May at the JL sale in JP!!


So little things!!! Absolutely no fight comparing to babes like Gina, Emily, Jaime, Bei and many more... keke~ =P Oooooh~ You can find some really pretty EOTDs (eye of the day) or FOTDs (face of the day) in their blogs too! =D

Might be back with my nail polish collections... if I can manage to gather all and bother to take a pic of them. Haha~ Cheers!!!

Nail Colour Swatch

My first entry in this brand new blog... yet again! I'm crazy hor? Have so much blogs?? Hahaha~ I think you all have enough of that... =P Anyway as my first entry, I'll present you... my very first Nail Swatch!! This is inspired by the "Nail polish colour swatch" thread found in Les Dames forum.



I have never done any EOTD (eye of the day) to date... although I've seen many in forums and in other ladies' blogs. I really suck at eye-makeup!! But perhaps I shall try someday~ And that's the entire purpose of this blog anyway!

Will be back to post my humble makeup collection. Really humble~ I saw the collections of other ladies in their blogs or forums, and wow!!! They have so many eyeshadows, lippies or even blushers, that their numbers of a single type of makeup totally beat the total number of makeup items I own~ Power!! Their makeup items aren't cheap too, mind you. I wish I can use my makeup as well as these makeup gurus, although hope not get too into it that I burn a hole in my own pocket! =P
