Day 28

I can't believe February had ended. Like I was just oh no Chinese new year soon. Visit relative and such. But it's practically over.

This month I shop a lot. Like duh. It is not a surprise really. More 红包 more money. But I shop for wallet, bag and a wristlet.

See, so cute it matches my bed sheet and blanket.

I also got myself a Shu Uemura eyelash curler. Those up there people either use Shu Uemura or Shiseido. I already have the Shiseido, and the more I read, research, watch tutorials and such, the more I spot Shu Uemura. So I just wanna compare the two. And here's a little review.
Shu Uemura is great for those who are scared to use lash curler. When you tighten the curler, the side has a gap that prevent your eyes from getting pinch. It doesn't tug on your skin as it doesn't touch your skin. It is not scary to use curler anymore. Plus it is wider than Shiseido.
For the other one has the softest pad ever. It's the rubber pad that usually is black in color. It's so soft that you can keep clamping it over and over and you don't feel scare that your lashes will break. I love it so much, but only after I adjust it to my eyes and make sure it doesn't clamp the side of my eye or the inner corner.
Both curl the same. Hold the same. Manage to curl the ends too, even though it doesn't look like it capture all your lashes.
So both are great but it will be better if they combine. But I did switch it up, and it doesn't work. In fact both pad are actually the same or really really similar. For some reason the Shu Uemura just cut in deeper. More sturdy even though the curler itself is more flimsy(loose). I don't know if non make up user actually know what I'm talking about.
So I guess Shu Uemura is great for quick curling. While Shiseido is more for proper one as it is so much softer.

I got potpourri from Daiso, I just fell in love with the color.

It smells nice too especially when you drop scented oil in it.

I also got this expensive Japanese tissue holder. Or you can put your pad, the female one this time, and it's just so classy and traditional.

I've been carrying tissue in my bag all the time now. Yup, I'm a "girl" now, oh cept when I bring just my wallet out and I know there will be tissue where I'm going to dine at.
When the tissue is full and new it's so nice on its package. But when you kept taking out one by one and you left it in your bag, it mostly torn at the side or tissue decided to come out by itself. So I really need a tissue holder and it just look nice. Oh it's also from Daiso.
I guess it's expensive for a small piece I cloth. However if you get it outside in this kind of traditional Jap pattern type of cloth, it usually cost way much more. Like way more. So I'm happy with what I got.

Oh I did bought some lipstick. It was on sale. I kind of have cognitive dissonance on the color. I mean I do like it, but I think I could be better off with another shade.

I really do not like sales promotion. As a marketing student, I feel so stupid for falling for it every time. Then again, if I justify with my own reasoning, my wants, needs and desire will point to buy buy buy. Ok maybe the want and desire, need I definitely don't require anymore product.

And so for a good strategy to push sale Maybelline color tattoo at Guardian was 2 for $19.90. During the previous Maybelline whole of Singapore sale, it was $12.90 each. So you see, how can I resist? Especially since I wanted to try it forever. And I always can't decide between the two colors; bad to the bronze and tough as taupe. So buy 2 for how much is a really good excuse to purchase them. That's my reasoning and I'm sticking or it.

Ps. The charm was Nata present to me. It's so cute. It's a gnome but it shall be a dwarf.

Is it true?

See picture below. Picture taken from some screenshot, so I don't know the source.

What do you think?
Who is hotter?

I personally choose the first one as would most people, I think. The first group of women have bigger boobs and they ain't afraid to show it. Well I mean they are just wearing the bras without any cover unlike the second pictures.

So ya.
Man those boobs.

Oh Legolas!

Good news for me. Haha. I thought there won't be any Legolas in the hobbit trilogy. Since there was no Legolas in the first one. But now. Hehe. I'm in love all over again. So happy.

Nail polish comparison

This post is a long time coming. I love nail polish so it is surprising I never blog bout it more often. But most of the time I have it on my tumblr. Link at the side.

So we shall compare this light lilac color which I love but always never get to buy for myself as I always prefer to get another pink. Follow by yellow and blue. Love pastels. Love purple but I never seem to purchase it in the end.

When I got this Revlon scented perfume in Gum Drop for Christmas (thank you guys), I was like haha finally I have a lilac color. I can finally do a full spring collection of pastels. Little did I remember, I actually have one at home.

I am talking about Zoya Miley. I bought it as I wanted to try out Zoya. It was alright but wasn't that great as it was a sheer jelly like polish. Not that jelly that can be layered, but more sheer and a pain to put on. Usually I have to put 3 thick coats and let it dry overnight to finally be opaque enough to use it.

So it is not advisable to use on real hand. Unless you don't mind the sheer finished. The texture is fine, it is just the finish I do not like, even though the color is so pretty. That is why I am glad I have a new varnish.

 

Unlike the rest of the scented perfume polish I got from Revlon, this one is not scented after drying. So that is the downside. But like most Revlon polishes, it is watery,dense and strangely easy to apply. The color is pretty. Pastel, soft and feminine. It is light as one coat and opaque after two. So it is buildable. I used two coats and it is not thick and dry lovely. Fast and doesn't fall off after three days. So it is a bonus.

 

While Zoya has a better lasting power, Miley is just too sheer. So if you are looking for a pretty lilac, you can try Revlon Gum Drop.

Have yourself a very merry Christmas

Raissa planned a party. Had to crack head to buy presents for everyone. Such a hard decision. My budget was $30 per person. Just a rough guide. I spend way too much. Even though Kelly present is like $3. (A Daiso file and calendar chocolate on sale) Hopefully, my pay will help to cover it. Money has been tight this year.

My presents in total. Some are birthday gifts and a few are Yogi’s.

I made goodie bags too, for the guys party, the cousins and people at work. This is so classic me. Managed to stop by at the hotel, but was not planning to stay. It was just different. If Nata was free, I’ll go with her, but she wasn’t. I thought she went back to Batam as she never replied my whatsapp. End up she had her own plan.

Ok, just imagine all these presents. A whole bunch of them. If only it’s all mine.

This is my first present I received this year.

It is nicer than the one from Chocz as it is much bigger by like 1mm? But it is more filling in a way that you eat is more full. Get it?

Oh well, time for the party.

The seating arrangement with Santa hats. If only the bowls are green. Then it is much more Christmassy.

Chips.
Frozen teddy.
Chocolate from Canada. Brownies.
Red velvet log cake.
Snackers.
Mash potato. Sauce and sausage.
Ham as there is no turkey left.
The not so nice wine. Too thick and sweet.

My plate. I was way too full from all the chips. [I feel like eating some now.]

My presents.

Let’s break it down.
The nails stuff.
The brushes I so badly want.
See the jerky from Kel.
Smell exactly like my Ikea candles a long time ago. So yummy, but its more like vanilla. But sugary. Something like that.
Plus a whole bunch of alcoholic chocolate which I will blog about it soon. Sephora vouchers, sleeping pants filled with rose design which I am wearing now while typing all these. I guess I am old, so no more cute cartoony prints for me. Oh well. I can’t wait to start painting on my nails. SO much to play with. Especially the FACE it check check nail kit.

Till the next post.
Feliz Navidad!

So a while back, Pat came back to Sg. And we hang out and we had fun.
Ate Korean BBQ.
Tried to hang out late and fail.
Made Pat walk.
That's it.
We never change.
A bunch of thick skin recess girls.

Sweets

Gold coins for wealth
Chocolate rings of luck
Sour power represent long life. A life which is sour but hang on to it, it will be sweet in the end.
Happy hippo cause apparently I am one

Happy birthday to me

Yes another year has pass. Happy "18th" birthday to me. Do I look 18 now?

So, I woke up with a cake on the table. Mushroom soup, salad and abalone with broccoli. (5 pieces of broccoli). For dinner, I went to Saveur at Purvis St. Had been wanting to go there for a long time, so finally managed to. Foie Gras with Apple and Port Wine Sauce,  Angel Hair Pasta with Minced Pork and Shrimp, Crispy Duck Confit with Orange Segments and Shittake, Chicken Roulade with Foie Gras Stuffing and Basmat. Yum yum. Love the foie gras with apple soaked in red wine. For dessert, had cocktail and frozen yogurt. Had redmango as it was on the way, but it wasn't nice. At least I got to eat mochi, so it wasn't a lost.

 

Got a lovely hand made card. It is cute.

 

Chocolate from Choz. I love the bailey truffle one. So yum. Bought this cause wanna make use of the $10 discount you get from Esplanade. Esplanade is celebrating its birthday in October, so all October babies can collect $10 voucher, with minimum spend of $20.

 

The words are just so right.

 

It has been a good day. It was fun. Going on dates and receiving presents. Too bad its not everyday you get to celebrate your birthday.

Thursdays

Thursday was one of the happiest day of my life. I felt so happy that I think when I go home I will get bang by a car. But ya, saw Sophie and we ate KFC. Bought two of the sweetest FA cookies, butterscotch and chocolate which chocolate chip. So great catching up with her.
And I actually won the laura mercier hamper from the Cosmo subscription from R. He is sort of a lucky charm. So happy, I finally have laura mercier secret camouflage. Always wanted it in forever.

21 Things

Studying for exam is a bore. Waiting for someone to reply is a bore. To occupy myself I finally went to do my little project. This name card holder can contain 80 cards. It was suppose to fit into the plastic container. But I kept filling it in and it became so fat. Too thick to put inside the case.

See, this is how much it spread. Just can't close together. So the person receiving this has to use them to get it back into shape. Plus there is an expiry date to care about anyway.

I hope she likes her birthday present.

A lifetime at Daiso

So I finally depot my eyeshadows. So fun. I bought the stuff from Daiso. $20 worth of items. Seriously I can't save money.

Diffuser in lavender. That's the only one Hui min's say the smell is nice cause it's the only one that she opened. Haha.

So this is my pencil case of eyeshadows. I depot 8 eyeshadows. So now I can just open this case and choose the different colours.

Tried finding all the different way I can try to have a palette without it being too troublesome. YouTube suggest using old CDs case, but I thrown all mine away. Then, I can only think of those small metallic pencil case. While I can't find the small one, this one will have to do. I am thinking if I should depot all my shadows. It's pretty fun to do. Haha. But the rest the casing still new and nice, I just don't want to touch them yet.
