Five years (or less) ago, I always thought I can never pull of using a lipstick, lipsticks and me are never meant to be. Today, I take back what I've said because right now I am absolutely in love with matte lipsticks!
I love how simply, effortless and hassle-free make up can be in the morning when you are running in a rush.No more fiddling around with gel liners or mascara. All I need right now is foundation, powder, bronzer/blush, lipstick and I am good to go. Wonders! Can't wait to add a couple more exciting shades to my sad sad collection.

I love mascaras. I love lashes. As much as I love false lashes, it didn't make sense to me to wear them out everyday. They are more reserved to special occasions, partyting birthdays the lot. In the mean time I still like my eyes to stand out when I go out to say, uni or running some errands. Mascara is one of those things that make my lashes stand out, and also saves me from drawing on eyeliner cuz it has that effect. Fabulous!

Maybelline has the best mascaras of all times. They beat expensive higher end brands, hands down. My all time absolute favourite, one that I have been using for a while will have to be the Maybelline Intense XXL.

Yep. But that's not the point. I've been using this for such a long time to a point I got sick of it.

Maybelline Lash Stiletto in Blackest Black.

I got this one here from K Mart when they a mascara clearance. All Maybelline mascaras were going for only $10. Bargain! Have not much expectation from Lash Stiletto, but boy was I blown away. It has everything that I was looking for. Thumbs up. I always curve my lashes before applying mascaras since I have natural straight asian lashes. I am happy that this mascara doesn't weigh my lashes down and kept curve the whole day! and it does not smudge easily, unlike some of the previous mascaras that I've used.  My lashes do look identical when I was using the XXL, but the point is it save me the trouble and time of swapping my lashes twice. Now I can have the same, if not better lashes from just one tube of mascara. Definitely will be buying this again when mine runs out.

Maybelline Magnum Volume Express, Super Film, also in Blackest Black

The first thing that caught my eye of this mascara was the comb. It is even and feels fluffy. I thought this must be something good. Sad to say I was disappointed. And I have only used this twice. It weighs down my lashes. My lashes were straight as soon I swiped this mascara on. This is the only thing that I dislike bout this mascara. Probably not going to make a second purchase anytime soon.

hello and hello.


So a month ago I did a haul from Cherry Culture after Miss Chaigyaru posted her youtube video of NYX cosmetic haul. And a month later the parcel arrived!

 the packaging good enough to prevent anything from breaking and kept everything tidy.

 I got this eyeshadow palette for my December trip back home. This palette got every color that I will possibly use and it also kinda resembles Urban Decay's Naked palette minus the price. It comes in a good size so it will save me alot luggage space for other stuff. I have not done swatches for this palette, but it does look quite pigmented. Majority of my palettes are of natural hues like brown and bronze, so I don't really use much of other colors, so this one fits me well.

 When I did a swatch for this color, well, I wasn't please. It looked pretty natural on the swatch of the website, and I assumed it will look natural on skin. the lip gloss is very pigmented and it carries a strong gold hint. when I tried it on it looked like I ran out of a circus or a dressed up party. Maybe I'll save this one for other occasions.

 I love this lipstick! I was skeptical when I received this, cuz it looks a lil too bright for my liking. but boy, was I surprised when I tried this one. It definitely gave me a change. One thing that worries me is how long lasting it will be when I go out with this. But I'll definitely purchase this again.

 In the midst of fixing my brow. so I got this Amuse Brow dual powder. I don't thing the tone suits me too well, because it carries a reddish hint. it doesn't show on the palette, but it will when you put in on. I'm pn the fence for this one cuz my eyebrows aren't properly done yet, so I might not what it will possibly look like. but for only $3, it won't do too much of damage to my purse. I can always double this as an eyeshadow or something.

 I got these because they are on sale and are the cheapest thing ever. these two cost me no more than $5. I'm not too sure of the price. I got the gold for this holiday season, gold works well during Christmas. It's not pigmented, so I will layer this on top of my usual black liner. The onyx liner also has simmers in it. Not the best liner that I owned, not sure if it is waterproof or long lasting. the consistency is kinda runny, so I have to layer it to get a darker shade.

Lastly, I got these concealers for my under eye circles. it smells like baby powder and also have this matte finish, unlike some other concealers that has a greasy finish. the coverage is pretty good. works wonders for my under eye circles, but I have problems using this for my acne scars. Probably cuz I'm not good at covering the scars.

I wonder if anyone is still reading this.. thing. 

anyhow. my life now is almost like a 5000 pcs puzzle. I am trying to fix it up piece by piece. Figuring which piece goes where. So its a mess in short. 

When to Lindt Cafe in the city couple weeks back, while my dad was here. drinks were awesome. I had iced mocha, in a really cold cold night. The cakes was bomb-ming goood. And also finally had a crack at the Macaroon hype, if it was as good as everyone said it was to be. 

I had the pale yellow one. It was champagne flavoured apparently :) 

It tasted really sweet, with a hint of champagne taste. No, the wasnt sooo good that it exploded/ melted in my mouth. I would love to have another one. If they werent so god damned expensive.

Ohhh. I blinged my laptoop. Ages ago. people tell me it looks like it belongs to a 13 year old girl. Who loves everything shiny. 

Currently obsessed with this. It's basically is a snippet of a Taiwanese talk show, Diamond Club showing how different a girl can look with or without make-up. I find it really amazing. Thus i did an experiment of my own.

I can assure you I do not actually look that bad in real life. It's just horrible lighting and shot from a unflattering angle. I swear. But as you can see, I do not go the extreme lengths those girls does in the video, with 4 sets of eyelashes and all, there still is a difference.

Editing does the job too.

That's for now. 

Until I'm actually happy with the way my neew place looks. The tour will have to hold :)

Discovery of the month!!!!!!

Everytime I saw a girl that has that oh-so-fab bump on top of their crowns I get so so jealous.
"They must have teased their hair to oblivion to get that bump. They must have thick thick hair. I want that hair tooooo!!"

I tried doing the bump myself millions of times. It will always end up being loop-sided or what not. damn fail.
not to mention tangles are a pain to comb out.

so, this is when i found...

BUMPITS!!!!!!




basically its a plastic curve piece that u just put in ur crown to elevate ur hair making people think that u are taller and have lusciously thick hair minus all the tangles from unnecessary teasing . and have the most perfect bump ever. I finally know Mandy's secret of how to do "the bump". She wears that to school everyday.


okay, going bumpit hunting now ♥
