Reebonz Sales at Suntec

Will you be going? I don't think I will... I'm trying hard to save up! =/

Presents!

Been wanting to post this.... my good friend Amilia gave me a pair of black boots bought from Australia. This is my second pair of boots (not including those wore when I was a child) I ever owned! The 1st pair of boots was a similar pair in brown bought in HongKong, but it was tad a bit too small and hurt a lot when I walked.
So this time round the boots are one size bigger than my actual feet size.

Love them!

My Outfit of the Day.

But I have not worn the boots out yet, will wear when I have the chance!!! And Amilia's boyfriend ZX wanted to surprise her by buying the Velcro hair pads that I posted previously for her and her friends. So I helped him to send out the items along with my presents for my dear friend.

Moisurising masks, TFS fake eyelash, Kate's Pink Blush and Overall from The Japanese Fashion Street.

Continue to Ganbatte Kudasai for ur studies ne Amilia-chan!

XOXO,

P.S. Just attended Natsu Matsuri (Japan Summer Festival) on 22nd Aug with Ri-chan. Will update soon!

Poupee Girl + Marina Barrage

Been wanting to post stuff but am just too tired n occupied.... >.< One of the stuff I am so occupied with is playing Poupee Girl ! On the left side of my blog, scroll down and you can see my self-created poupee girl of the day. Click back and you can see previous days of my doll in different styles. I know this website has been around for quite long but I just got to playing this recently only.

Poupee Girl is a fashion community where you can dress up your doll, earn ribbons (the currency used in the Poupee community), buy and sell fashion items for the doll. One of a way to earn ribbons is to post photos of your own fashion items like clothes, cosmetics, accessories, skincare, decorated mobiles & gadgets. No face is allowed in the pictures.

Screenshot of my Poupee Girl's homepage.

At first I was addicted to the Poupee Girl Market where other users sell their unwanted items. I could sit in front of the computer for half a day just to keep refreshing the Market page to buy cheap and nice items to sell so that I can earn more ribbons!

Reason for saving so much ribbons is because there are items selling in a shop opened by Poupee Girl Katherine that are pretty and exquisite, not available in the market. I've read online that items bought from Katherine's shop can only be sold 5 months and 1 day later. Even if it's for sale on market already, prices of some items like Yukata would be marked up than it's original price. 

But after some time of playing I am not so addicted to it now, I just try to log in daily and change clothes for my Poupee Girl and earn some ribbons. The Poupee effect will die off after some time, just like with the games on Facebook. Haha.....

Last Sunday I went to Marina Barrage for the 1st time with bf and good friend (Hey Amilia! =P) 's bf ZX .I didn't realise the grass patch I see people flying kite on was built at the Marina Barrage building on level 3. And my bf laughed at me when I asked him where is the big grass patch, why are we taking a lift on this building! We didn't fly kite as we didn't buy any in the end (they told me there was a shop selling kites at Barrage but I didn't manage to find). We went there for a picnic and had a short session with ZX on

 learning how to use the dSLR.

Look at the Doraemon kite!!! The soles of Doraemon flaps up and down in the air... Cute!!!

It was very windy there, this pretty rainbow umbrella ZX lend me was spoiled by the huge wind as it overturned the umbrella causing the joints to be detached. It belongs to ZX's grandpa... I'm so sorry! =(

Michelle Phan : Make Your Own Pore Strips

My favourite makeup artist Michelle has finally posted up her new video! Another D.I.Y tip! Useful and interesting! Enjoy! =)



I would love to try this but I wonder what is an alternative to microwaving the mixture? I have never used the microwave in my house for years and am scared of using it =X ( ok it sounds silly but I don't dare and really know how to use one, once I did at my workplace pantry I almost burnt down the place. )

And her IQQU acne serum has a new packaging! Haix.... Which is good because the 1st generation one that I bought, I have trouble getting the serum out. The pump doesn't work well at all. Shall review IQQU products soon! I'm a procrastinator. =I

How to achieve double eyelids without surgery?

As per topic title, this post is on double eyelids. When I was younger as a child I had monolids, but later on it become small double eyelids that were often hidden. It would "come out" to meet people often but "hide" itself when it is not happy (when the lid is more puffy).

I have small eyes, having prominent double eyelids help to open up my eyes and of course looks prettier. Problem is I always have unsymmetrical looking eyes due to the different eye conditions on each side of the face. Like right now I have hidden left eyelid and prominent right eyelid. Sometimes when the condition of my eyes is really bad as I like to rub my eyes when they feel really itchy, the folds of the eyelid will be gone completely. And my undereye has super prominent deep lines. I have super dry skin around my eye area too. In other words, my eyes are always giving me problems.

In one of Popteen's issue, there was a page of the different types of  creating double eyelid tools. At 1st I didn't give much notice to it. But I went back to flip that page after I saw this on Youtube:

                      

Looks amazing right? It looks very ideal as unlike the common eyelid tape as shown in the Taiwan show right at the BOTTOM of this post, it looks more natural as it is not so visible as it is an eyelid stretch fiber. I read up in flowerpod forum this original brand of stretch fiber Mezaik used to be sold in Sasa, but it's no longer available. It is not very cheap also if you look it up in EBay. But I found an alternative brand, ARCH Double Eyelid Stretch Fiber on Ebay, which is the same thing but at much cheaper price.

Actually I discovered another type of eyelid tape on on this site:  http://doubleeyelid.blogspot.com/  . Please go and see the video section in the website to get the idea on how to use that product.

I was tempted and decided for a long time between this and the stretch fiber tape. In the end I still wanted to try the Stretch fibre tape as I thought it was slightly cheaper. And so in mid July I recieved my package:

  

Was a bit disappointed when I saw the packaging below, looks different from the website, it's not even brand as ARCH. :

  

90 pieces of stretch fiber tape inside. But I didn't bother counting them! I wasted quite a few trying to stick it to my eyelids, but it doesn't stick well! It doesn't give me my double eyelids also. Not as easy as the video. I guess it is the problem with my lids being too thin? Or is it too puffy? I did clean my eyelids before pasting, and anyway my eyelids are super dry, it is not oily at all. This thing doesn't work for me ..... aww....... Maybe it is because it is not the original stuff so it ain't as sticky? Thus my problem of big small eyes or super small eyes cannot be solved still. Only on lucky days will I get symmetrical eyelids.

I think I have kind of given up trying other eyelid products. I also own the roll of eyelid tape before buying this. But I think it is too obvious and not natural at all. Furthermore my eyes are very problematic and is super allergic and sensitive. I think if I want to have more pretty enhanced double eyelid lookalike eyes I shall just layer on fake eyelashes, a tip Ri chan reminded me of the other day we went shopping. 

Furthermore the most stupid thing that happened..........

Right eye < ---                                                     Left eye -----> 

I accidentally cut my left eye's inner corner lashes as I was trying to cut away the stretch fiber tape ends! If you clicked on the video right above of this post you will realises why I need to cut away the ends. It is cropped away by my clumsy hands. !@#$%.

Luckily it is not super obvious. But I really wonder how long will it take to grow back to the same length?

Anyways I want to share with you the interesting tip Kelvin teacher in the Taiwan Beauty talk show demonstrated , on how to use the double eyelid tape. It's shown at the end of the part 1 video below and continued in part 2.

 女人我最大 2010-07-15 pt.2/5  

Hope you enjoyed this post! ^.^

My 1st MAC product!

Saw on Xiaxue's tweet few days ago saying she finally got her MAC VivaGlam Lady Gaga lippie! Happened to be at Tampines Isetan MAC today and happened to ask about the lipstick as they never displayed it out. Guess what, they restocked it!

As stated in MAC's website:

"Established in 1994 to support men, women and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS globally, VIVA GLAM I, II, III, IV, V and VI, were launched as continuous shades and have achieved tremendous success over the years. Spring 2010 sees two new VIVA GLAM shades introduced as limited life for 12 months on counter. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the sensational Cyndi Lauper and the electric Lady Gaga! "


"Every cent of the selling price of VIVA GLAM Lipstick and Lipglass is donated to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS."

Love the cool shape of the lipstick. Reminds me of a bullet.= X

Under florescent lighting:

Love the Barbie Pink! & Gaga's signature on the case!

Close up colour (less lighting):

Swatches of the rouge:

On the left: One layer of the pink.

On the right: Few layers of the pink colour.

Before: My bare & super dry lips (lazy to put on lipbalm)

After: With Vivaglam Gaga on. (Ugly dead skin arghh)

Review

Packaging:

The box alone is special with Lady Gaga's "signature" printed on it in red. The actual lipstick casing itself, also has Lady Gaga's signature on it. If you are a Gaga fan, this is definitely a collector's item for you.

Product:

In terms of it colour it is a light pink with blue undertone (Lustre), an electric pink which is very Gaga! I love the girly pink. It is pigmented, but sheer if you only apply one layer. With a few more layers, I could easily cover my own lip colour!

I think anyone would be able to pull this colour off as long as you complement it with the right makeup on the rest of the face. This would look good with eyeliners, and smokey eye looks !

But the downside is that it is a bit drying. If you want to get lipsticks that are moisturising this is definitely not for you. Thus I would have to use lipbalm 1st before applying the colour. Pairing it with a clear gloss or any other coloured gloss that can complement the lipstick colour would also solve the problem.

But since this is a collector's item (in my opinion) + such a lovely Cool Pink colour ♥  + All sales of the Vivaglam lipsticks would go to the M.A.C AIDS Fund, I definitely would recommend to buy this!

Update: Forget to add in the price. Retailing @ $28SGD at all MAC counters! Not very expensive!

I give it : ♥♥♥♥  =)

Hello!

Saw this piechart from my Nuffnang account yesterday (before midnight that is).  Very interesting to see people from all parts of the world dropped by my site! Happies!

Hi there! Thanks for dropping by! If you like my site please help to click any advertisements you see at the top or the left side bar!

Random fact about Me:

This is how I look like!

with makeover done of course! =P

*That's a hair wig by the way. I wish I had hair like that. =(

Of course I look like a passer-by during normal days where I hardly put makeup at work. But I do attempt to put on makeup on days where I do not need to work and is going out! So in summary I'm a lazy girl who loves makeup yet do not bother to make myself up everyday.

P.S. Review for MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipstick coming up! Singapore MAC counters have restocked it!  Get yours now if you still want! :) Retailing at 28SGD.

XOXO,

Harumi

Random buys

New Twisties Flavour! $1.50 per pack at FairPrice.

At 1st I thought got 2 different flavours inside, but seems like it's a mixture of the 2 flavours? Got 2 other new flavours, but I only bought one of them to try.

Slightly spicy after taste. Yums in mouth but yucks for health. =X

&

Hair Velcro pad

I'm sure many people have seen this and own this. One of the items recommended in 女人我最大 Taiwan beauty talkshow. It didn't came across to me as a must-buy, as SaSa sells it quite expensive. But 2 days again when I went to buy a comb at EastPoint Jean accessories shop(level 2), I saw that they were selling this for only $1.50.  Pink & purple available.

Normally I would use a clip to clip my fringe to the side and it would look flatten and out of shape after my makeup is done. But the velcro pad is very light and really sticks to your hair, which is very convenient for doing makeup or applying facial skincare as it helps to keep my fringe off my face without flattening my hair.

Comes 2 in a pack.

And it's available on Gmarket too. I guess Ebay should have, never bother searching for it.

As shown in one of the Gmarket seller's page:
http://goods.gmarket.com.sg/gmkt.inc/goods/goods.aspx?goodscode=400839422

If you don't want to buy online (I found some sellers selling even cheaper than $1.50), thinks that Sasa is selling it too expensive and happens to stay around the area near EastPoint, go buy! =P
