[Beauty] Eyelash Extension

Went to Far East Plaza with Kaiyin and ended up doing eyelash extension.

The shop we patronized is located on the 3rd floor (the most pinkish hair/eyelash extension shop) and they advertise through Kaykay so just quote 'kaykay', you will get 5 dollars off. So instead of $50, we paid $45 each. We told them that we wanna have 'kaykay' type and they instantly knew what we wanted.. lol.. We chose #10 instead of #8 as suggested by the beautician. I guess the number is just the length of the lashes i.e. #8= 8mm; #10= 10mm and so on...

 After Extension

Please ignore the swollen eye bag as the beautician just peeled off the tape she used to cover my eye bag in case the glue they used to 'plant' the eye lashes smear over my face. It's SUPER pain when they peel off the tape. But I think there's a very strong '我爱美不要命' spirit in me so yea.. I don't mind doing it again.. =x

It's said that it can last for 1 month but known as a clumsy girl, the extension might accompany me for 2 to 3 weeks at most =x But looking at the bright side, I don't have the habit of rubbing my eyes so hopefully it can last a biiiit longer **fingers crossed**I guess the best part of getting extension is that I do not need to wake up early to apply my eye makeup for quite some time =) And my colleagues said it looks natural so I'm quite satisfied with their service <3 I shall review it after a month to see if I wanna go back for another round of extension =P

[Fashion] How I wish ...

I think I will never have Monday blue if I dress so nicely to work everyday... 

Can't wait for GSS to help me to ease my Monday blue =x

[Life] style, snap and WIN

I'm so happy these days. Although I said goodbye to all the kids, my life has been great! =D I'm going to start work soon (like TOMORROW!? =S think I'll miss my super loooooong 'holiday'). AND the best thing that happened this month (other than getting a job) was that I won a competition! Yes! FIRST PRIZE! Being a mediocre student during my school time, I'd never won any competition (individually) before. And now, I actually won! I'm so LUCKY! =D Now, I can get Samsung S4, the dress from Forever New, the cardigan from Dip Drops, the accessories from Diva, the heels from Topshop, the fashion magazines from Kinokuniya, the cosmetics from Etude House, etc.......The list goes on and on and on... But $800 can't buy that much,right? o.O Anyway, I'm still very happy and like what my mum said, I must think carefully before spending using the vouchers =D

You must be wondering what kind of competition, right? Style, Snap & Win? o.O Haha.. It's not related to what I studied for sure=x It's actually a design competition by Tampines 1, whereby you're given a template to design clothes for paper doll. The details can be found here. I took out all my scrapbooking and d.i.y. materials i.e. from stickers to chain to beads to charm, to fill in the template and used nail polish to paint since I have no color pencils =x

The template::

Here are my designs::

Not sure why the organizer chose to display the 'golden dinner'. Personally, I like the 'carousel trip' ('coz I like the ballerina feel in the shoes la =x). Guess I need to work harder in designing! Fashion design course, wait for me~~ 

P/s:: I chanced upon one of the winner's FB page and her friends gave some negative comments on my designs. Although it's quite a blow (who won't be discouraged by negative comments, right? =.=) when I first read it, I think I should stay happy and not affected by others' comments since I can't control what others think and say, right? =) And I'm more worried excited over my first day of work, or perhaps how to dress nicely to work every single day =x

[Fashion] Magazine that kills

Just want to introduce you my favourite magazine a.k.a. my fashion bible  (if you haven't heard of it)- the original Japanese Vivi. Not Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore/Malaysia version, but the true blue Japanese Vivi. I'm not saying that other versions are not good but Japanese version is the thickest (think 400 pages), the most informational and the one who's leading the other versions.

Vivi May 2013 Issue

Like other Japanese magazines, it comes with おしゃれ (o-sha-re, means fashionable Japanese) free gift from time to time. For May issue, they are giving out a trendy monotone tote. Although it's not of high quality, it's trendy and let's be frank,the monotone trend will most likely fade off after a month or 2, so high quality is not needed here =x Sometimes, the magazine also has sub-issue like the one shown at bottom left-　ヘアアレンジ (hair arrangement) look book.

The reasons why I said it kills:

1. It kills both girls and boys.

All their models have angel's face +  devil's body, especially famous Lena Fujii and the up and coming Reina Triendl. 

2. It kills your eyes.

More than 500 clothes combinations (my estimate, may be more) in every issue. And you will have hard time trying to focus on just one combination at a time.

3. It kills your brain.

They help you summarise what's IN in the season and demonstrate the trends in ways that you can wear it in your daily life (unlike those fashion runway style). Basically, you don't need to understand Japanese at all, what you need to do is to look at the pretty models in pretty clothes in the pretty pictures.

4. It kills other magazines.

They cover various styles from sexy to cute to casual to mode, etc. You don't need to buy other fashion magazines when you have Vivi.

p/s:But if you're into mori or harajuku, you might want to skip this magazine. 

5. It kills your money.

Not because it's very expensive but it puts a spell on you to spend on the latest fashion and crave for Japanese fashion brands that do not exist in Singapore e.g. Lily Brown, titty&Co., Snidel, just to name a few...

6. It kills your time.
Other than clothes combinations, it also teaches you the latest makeup and the most trendy hairdo (the hair arrangement look book covers around 50 styles) so you can kill your time when you're bored.

Now, tell me how not to hate love this magazine???

[Fashion] a BRIGHT spring

Warning: a very brief post to show off my new purchase =x

It's finally spring (in countries with 4 seasons)! That means no more thick, heavy clothes with long sleeves on shelves. It's time for the dull colors to be out of the racks for a while and let pastel and neon colors to SHINE! 

The first thing I've got for my 'spring' (ok, the truth is I shop from time to time **guilty...) is this neon pink converse. It comes in yellow, orange, green and blue as well but of course I've to get the pink one since pink is my LOVE~ 

They have sizes for both kids and adults so you can have couple sneakers, mother-daughter sneaker, father-son sneaker, etc. haha... **lame...

An ordinary sneakers with an extraordinary colors =P

A close-up. 

p/s: Do not get this if solid pink is what you're looking for. 

Like what I've said, they have sizes for kids and adults. With my small feet, I've got kids size.. size 2 =.=|| I think the sales person disbelieved when I asked for size 2 (the biggest size for kids is 3) and surprised by the fact that I actually managed to 'squeeze' in and bought it.. hehe.. My tiny feet helped me to save 20 bucks! But don't envy, I think one's shoe size is strongly related to his/her height; if you're tall, your feet are bigger, and vice versa. After all, you don't need much support from you feet when you're hmmm... short, right?

 Can't wait to wear this out!

Shall post my outfit soon~

[Fashion] What I want for CNY

I want something very 'LADY' and SWEET and GORGEOUS for the coming Chinese New Year! Hahahaha... I think I am day dreaming 'coz dresses that fulfill the above requirements usually come with very unfriendly pricing.. And usually look nice only on tall and slender girls ='( BUT we can always day dream right? =)

Here's my dream (or maybe my plan =x) ::

Pearly white + pink 

Get pretty and sweet for reunion dinner and 大年初一 ! =))

Pearly white + gold

Have simple yet gorgeous set for new year gathering.

Guess it's also suitable to wear to office during new year?

White + navy blue 

And my perfect set for new year visits, especially on a sunny afternoon.

** Tell mummy I am wearing 'gold' necklace if she disapproves the color scheme! Hehe..

That's all I have in mind for now.

How about you? 

Any idea what to wear during CNY yet? =)
