What's in my Haraju-cute Pouchie?! [Sponsored]

[Sponsored]
 photo DSCF8012_640x480.jpg

TADA~!! My own Haraju-cute pouch!!

The theme for this is " Lashes Makeup Pouch " !

Lashes are no doubt the key to a great gyaru look be is sweet, rock , oraora or oneegal!
There are so many different types too! Long, short, natural, dramatic, strips, individual etc etc~~

I probably sound super hyper only because I am sick. *laughs*

SO LETS GO LETS GO AND CHECK OUT WHAT IS IN THE POUCH!!

==

First up, the EyeLash Egokawa Sweetie (Top & Bottom) [I tried to look for numbers/design names but there doesnt seem to be any specifics]

 photo DSCF8043_640x480.jpg photo DSCF8042_640x480.jpg

There are two pairs of lashes in each box, and they come with their own lash glue~ I've not used the lash glue though, so if anyone did already, you are more than welcome to share your views.

Verdict: 4/5
These lashes are really easy to use and I will recommend them to all beginners. It is light and has a average lash bone that can bend easily and yet not too soft for beginner usage.
The downside of the lashes is that the lashes are not super durable and would wear out in about 5-7 wears. The lashes were also more towards the natural look so it might not be what you are looking for if you go for the dramatic style

sguard ROCK ON Mascara (Vibrating Mascara)

 photo DSCF8027_640x480.jpg

I am sure most of you have heard about vibrating mascara and tried it but I was really skeptical of it cos it looks like what a lazy person will use. However after trying on this particular mascara, I realise that the mascara goes on faster and more even without clumping easily as the strands are seperated! This mascara is special in a way that it comes with both long and short bristles for POWER VOLUMIZER and LENGTHENING.

Verdict: 4/5
The first coat doesn't show much of a difference but it works really well on the second coat. It curls your lashes naturally without using a lash curler and brings out bottom lashes really obviously in strands. It does more of lengthening than voluminous, so lashes will be in really obvious strand. Might be something that you want to avoid if you are going for thick luscious lashes instead of dolly long lashes.

EYE LASH Dual Essence

 photo DSC_0243_552x480.jpg

This is a mascara primer and protect your eyelashes while coating it in COLLAGEN GOODNESS~~~ every part of my body seems to love collagen, my eyes brighten up at the word collagen. wth.
I won't be grading this one because this is the only mascara primer/protector I've tried and it is working fine for me. No sensitive eyes or anything, so you will have to try it for yourself.
It smells sweet too, so that is a plus plus for me!

Hope you anjoy this short look in the Haraju-cute pouch! I'll try to blog as soon as possible again ORZ.

Pink is the New Brown



So here is my review on the new Liese hair colour, Jewel Pink.

Personally, I have never use Liese hair dye before so it was quite a fun experience.

Liese Bubble Hair Color makes hair coloring fun and easy! It is a new type of permanent hair color that uses foam. Just dispense the foam, apply on hair and massage. No more troublesome sectioning of hair! Foam reaches all over the head and you can achieve beautiful, evenly colored hair easily.
Jewel Pink - a shiny brown with a touch of pink

my verdict: 2/5
I'll let my pictures do the explanation.

 photo DSCF9079_640x480.jpg

These was what was in the kit. Pretty normal.
Personally I find it a little troublesome to dispense the foam.

Before Pictures
 photo DSCF9063_480x504.jpg photo DSC_0160_360x640.jpg

My hair has a yellowish tinge after not toning it for a real long time.


During the process, my platinum blond sides are dyed too in the process

After Hair colouring.

 photo DSC_0164_360x640.jpg photo DSCF9081_480x531.jpg

So there is this orangey pinkish hue to my hair and my roots are slightly even out because my hair takes colour really well. However the colour only lasted me for A WEEK and it washed out pretty fast..

I wasn't too bothered about it though since it did even out my roots I guess. I tried the dye on my mom's hair as well and it actually did not help her white hair much.

I guess Liese hair colour is only good if you wish to tint your hair just a little instead of giving it a full out dye. Remember to slap on hair care too as the dye really dries out your hair big time.

You are Beautiful



I am sure most of you have seen this video around, and I might be slow in sharing it but I wanted to do a blog post about it anyway, to make up for the time I am missing because of some personal issues now.

After ransacking through my older blog posts (i wished I had named them properly), I found an old post about my rants on looking perfect or somewhere near : Perfection
Like the girls in the video, I've never really thought of myself to be beautiful without makeup.
This was partially due to when I was younger, I had this ass of a boyfriend who criticize me really badly before he left me... and whenever i repeat this to any guy now, all of them wanna just beat the shit out of him *laughs*

Just in case anyone is interested, this is an old story i've repeated.

He told me this in mandarin: 你的人又不是很漂亮,你又不聪明,身材又不好,又不是很有钱,个性也很差,我真的不知道为什么我跟你在一起。 and he left.
Translation: You are not really pretty, not clever either, you don't have a good body, and your attitude is really bad. I really don't understand why I am with you now.

Naturally, it came as a big blow to me. I've known from young that I was not the ultimate beauty and that one time of criticizing really did me in big time.

After that, i grew from there. I decided that since i cannot look pretty, I'll look boyish. So I went and never looked back.. I was proud of how I took things. When my friends introduced me to makeup, I really hate the hassle and fuss but I slowly grow into it and even started researching and getting into it more than my other friends which led to who I am today.

I've always believed that with make up, i turn pretty.. without it, I am still plain and nothing. Shortly after, when I started getting more public appearances and people commenting on how ugly my makeup is. I couldn't help thinking if all I've worked for is wasted.

People who love me will probably say: It's okay, there are always haters.
People who dislike me will say: They are right, you are ugly.

Which brings me to a point, if other people can love you more than you do, should you not be the one to love yourself most? I don't know if that makes sense to anyone since I am typing this out as I go along and just inserting all my EUREKA thoughts here.

I've come to love myself, despite all the hate I used to have for myself.

This year, is truly the turning point for me.

I started taking pictures of myself with minimal makeup, started putting on less makeup. As long as I feel that I am groomed neatly and comfy in my clothes, I can even walk out with just my jeans and old badminton jersey.

I guess I really owe it to people who tell me that I look beautiful even without makeup and I've come to embrace it a little more and not be so conscious of my looks 24/7 and sometimes, I even smile at the makeup-less me in the mirror thinking how chirpy i look for the day.

Beauty of people is constantly judged everyday. I do it a lot, and no one is spared.
However if you believe that you can do it, and make an EFFORT to do it, you can become beautiful even if you are REALLY UGLY (I know this part sounds ironic but I really cant lie when I see someone who is less than average)
I've worked hard to be beautiful besides thinking that I am. No one is a 100%, not even those who have went through plastic surgery but they have the courage to be beautiful.

Everyone is a little more than what they think, if not a lot more. Especially those in love, when your lover says you are beautiful with the undeniable look of earnest in their eyes, please learn that you really are, and you should love yourself as much as they love you too.

I have no idea what I just typed but I had some awesome sushi and macaroons last night. Looking forward to Saturday work out session with two of my current favorite boys~~ and also a special make up session with Kelton tomorrow night!

Life Update



After the whole Tampines 1 competition I took a short break from blogging because I was so busy with Sharlene's wedding. I'll blog about her wedding soon because it made me feel so happy though I was rushing around the whole day, working my ass off to make her beautiful with a limited time frame. Special thanks to Elaine for the night who helped me in my work on short notice.

So I am just going to blog about random things like my current obsession.

If you have been around my facebook, you would have realise that I am doing less of gyaru make nowadays unless I really feel like it. I guess somehow I am just sort of demotivated...

I decided to move to the korean look for abit... I admit I am partially shifted to this decision due to the fact that my current love is Taeyang from Big Bang. I don't really pay attention to Big Bang members, only to their music. However these few months, I came across Taeyang's solo songs which was released last year and I am HOOKED. Not only to his voice, his music, his body and also his smile.

Those who follow me for quite a long time now would know that I am usually attracted to feminine looking guys, like j-rockers Aoi and Uruha... or in korean boyband sense would be JS HyunSeung from Beast.... so yea. *shrugs* I've no freaking idea why Taeyang attracts me so much~~

His smile like sunshine, and that cheeky feeling~~ him being a taurus is a plus point! Taurus guys just appeals to me somehow... *laughs*

I'll leave you to my favourite song of his~



I guess thats all for it now. I'll update with the wedding by mid/end week again /0/

Fairy Doll X Skinfood

[sponsored]
credit to http://www.elfwood.com/

To all the readers who have been following,voting and rooting for me since Challenge One, i thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart.

This week will be the last challenge! Fairy Doll with Skinfood~

As usual, what would be YOUR thought for a Fairy Doll? Glitters? Tutu skirts? Tinkerbell? I really do not have much of an idea when it came to this. In the end, I decided to go with a look of Earth Fairy.

The earth fairy, also known as an earth elemental, is the nature spirit perhaps closest to you - even though they may be deep in the earth or in hidden places where you do not spot them. They are everywhere, caring for and creating in nature. And sometimes what we help create can be most spectacular. [quoted from fairies-secrets.com]

Images of fairies have always been depicted as child-like, small but bright. To me, they are somewhat like little dolls that live and breathe in a mythical world that we would never be able to see, except in our dreams, which would be the closest we can get.
Inspired by nature and images of fairies I've seen throughout my life, I've created this look. Compared to the previous two looks that I did by referencing towards other characters, this is based plainly on imagination and where my brush takes me.

Items used for tutorial:

A. Agave Cactus Sun BB Cream SPF36- S$49.90
B. Red Orange Makeup Finish (Matte Type)- S$21.90

Let's FAIRY! [LOL]

Base Makeup

 photo pic1.jpg

Pre: Make sure you have clean and moisturized your face! Keep your hair out of the way to do your makeup. Choose a large range of masks,moisturizers and toners from Skinfood! You know your skin will always be well-fed by them!


1. Even out your skin colour and cover up imperfections with [A]. This BB Cream does not have a very strong coverage, it is advisable to use concealer if you have really bad dark eye circles.

2. Matte your skin with [B]. You can do it at the end of the whole makeup again, but I prefer to do it here.

3. Using [D] to fill in your brows and contour your nose for a sharp fairy nose.


Eyes

 photo DSCF9061.jpg


4. Use [01] from [C], a shimmer champagne, and apply that all over the lids and inner corners of eyes to brighten. Highlight the brow bone with the same colour to give definition to your brows.

5. Use [02] from [C] on lids, concentrating on the middle.

 photo pic2.jpg

6. Use a green shadow to highlight the inner corners of your eyes and outer rim of your lids.
Change the colour to suit different elements! e.g. blue for water, red for fire

7. Use [04] from [C] to line your eyes and create lines like roots.
[You can change this to flames for fire or droplets for water etc.]

[04] is a cream liner in this palette! So convenient!


Eyes and Lips

 photo pic3.jpg

8. Use [E] on both top and bottom lashes. Apply false lashes if desired.

9. Apply [G] over lips as a base colour before topping it up with [H] for shine.

Optional
10. Apply red lipstick to the middle of your bottom lips as shown to bring more definition/pout to your lips and that slight ombre effect.[refer to final look for a clearer image]

Glamourous Doll X Sasa

sponsored

Picture credits from whaironthebrain.com

Hey all~! It is week TWO of the blogger challenge ~~/0/

Anyway this week's theme is Glamorous Doll with sponsor, Sasa.

What is YOUR first thought when you see Glam Doll? I was all like, ah...*smacks fist into hand* Barbie. *laughs* Barbie was my childhood favorite doll and one of the most glamorous dolls I've ever seen since young.. Although it is not one of the most expensive dolls I own, but they sure are glamorous.

Manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959, Barbie have been the iconic production of Mattel Inc. With over 50 years of history, Barbie is a fashion doll that set standards for the ideal woman. Light blond volume hair, large blue eyes, luscious lashes, pouty lips and a perfect body with matching long legs.

My look is strongly influenced by Barbie as Marilyn Monroe. The glam fashion doll meets glam American sex symbol, what can be more glamourous than this combo?
Sasa brings in the strongest makeup items, which helped me in creating a strong look which suits the theme to a "G" for GLAMOUR.
Strong eyes and lips are the focus point of this makeup, and sadly I could not secure a blond wig or dye my hair blonde to get that bombshell look like Barbie or Marilyn Monroe.

Items used for this tutorial:

A. Red Earth Miracle Wear Matte Genius Foundation in Miracle 30 30ML - S$36.00
B. theBalm Bahama Mama bronzer - S$29.90

Let's start!

Base Makeup

 photo Picture1.jpg

Pre:  Make sure you have clean and moisturized your face! Keep your hair out of the way to do your makeup. Choose a large range of masks,moisturizers and toners from Sasa!

1. Even out your skin colour and cover up imperfections with [A].  Pat on another layer or two below eyes to lighten dark circles. Remember to cover your neck too! Buff on some loose powder if preferred.

2. Fill in your brows with [C].

3. Using [J] and [B] contour your nose to create an illusion of a strong nose bridge.

Eyes


 photo DSC_0110_507x480.jpg

4. Use [02] from [D], a shimmery sheer silver, and apply that all over the lids and inner corners of eyes to brighten. Highlight the brow bone with the same colour to give definition to your brows.

5. Use [03] from [D] on lower 1/2 of the lids.

6. Apply [01] from [D] in the crease, connecting it to the area coloured with [03]. Apply the same colour on the 2/3 of the undereye.  Using different shades is to build gradient and depth to the eyes.


 photo Picture2.jpg

7. Use [E] to line your eyes AND create double eyelid lines on the lids. [As shown in pictures] This will really make your eye makeup pop.

8. Use [F] and place it as close to your lash line as possible. If preferred, you can use bottom lashes to balance out the heavy top of the eyes. [F] has blings which amps up the glam factor~

Lips and Cheeks

 photo Picture3.jpg

9. Using [G] , swipe it in a diagonal downwards motion from the temple to the apples of your cheeks to create a harsh line of blush. This adds strong definition to your cheekbones and gives that rich classy touch to your makeup.

10. Line your lips fully and fill it in with [I]. This is to ensure your lipstick holds longer. Don't be afraid to exaggerate your lip shape.

11. Fill it in with a gorgeous red from [H] to achieve that signature red Monroe lips. Dot a mole if you wish, or skip this step if you do not like moles.[You can use the sharp tip of [C] to do the mole.]

Final Look

Are you still wondering what [K] was for?

EVERY GLAMOUR GIRL NEEDS HER REST!
This vinegar beverage is an absolute must buy~~ Not only does it help your body functions, it aids in weight - loss and stress relieve too!

So light, that it floats [Sponsored]

[sponsored]
 photo 1.png

Hey all~ Just wanna share the good news that Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence is finally here in Singapore. As a fan of biore products, I was really happy to be one of the first few in Singapore to try it out~

This sunscreen has been no.1 in Japan since 2011 and was even awarded in COSME 2011. For all makeup lovers, you would know that COSME is a represent of Japan make products.

To be honest, at the start I was a little hesitant about accepting this sponsorship because I hardly use sunblock/screen due to it being really sticky/greasy/uncomfy after application but THIS.THIS PRODUCT changed my view totally.

 photo DSCF8007w.jpg

UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence functions

Double UV Block up to 16 Hours
PA +++ for long hours
Hydrates & Softens
Light and Refreshing


Usually when people buy sunblock, they are so focused on looking at the SPF that PA is usually neglected.

There are two main types of UV rays: UVA [Skin age] and UVB [Skin burn]

A 101 lesson with Biore!

Sun Protection Factor (SPF) targets to prevent you from sun burns (UVB). As all of you know, the higher the number, the better. Do you know what it is for?
the number indicates the time for sunscreen.

Light to Fair skin : 10 mins
Normal skin: 15 mins
Tanned to dark: 20 mins

Depending on your skin type, Biore Aqua gives you up to 16 hours of protection or more!

How to calculate:

SPF [digit] X [time] = Protection Duration from UVB

My protection with Biore Aqua
SPF 50 X 15 = 12.5 HOURS

Protection Grade for UVA (PA) targets to prevent your skin from aging due to UV. As usual, the higher the grade, the better the protection.

PA+ is good for indoors(indoor swimming pool maybe?) while PA+++ is good for long hours outdoor.(out in the open of course)

With such a high protection rate, Biore Aqua sure puts me at ease without worrying for my skin as long as I have it.

 photo DSCF8038.jpg
Sunscreen dispenses as a white cream like most sunblock creams in the market with a really light lotion fragrance.


SUNSCREEN WITH HYALURONIC ACID with citrus extract? That is something that is new to me, sunscreen has now turned into a full-time skin care&repair product!
Hyaluronic acid locks in skin moisture, and that is exactly what you need when your skin dries up under the sun. Citrus extract serves as an anti-oxidizing agent too! That keeps your face looking bright and supple!

 photo 2.jpg
Chart of a molecule in Biore Aqua

Lastly, is the texture of this sunscreen AFTER application that totally sold me.
For those who have applied sunscreen/sunblock creams before, you would know that the aftermath is slightly irritating... if not really nasty. There is always this sticky/greasy feeling... no matter how slight.
However, application of the Biore Aqua is so light and refreshing, that it feels even better than my moisturizer. My skin almost instantly absorbs the essence. Thanks to it being so light, I've actually started wearing sunscreen everyday! This is a great improvement for my skin, because now it will be well protected even if a little late.

 photo DSCF8035.jpg

Verdict: 5/5
I've tried to put on sunscreens a lot of times before but none have ever got me going like OH! YES SUNBLOCK! .. usually i m all like UGHHHHHH...nevermind let's just leave it.
Neither do I have to wash my palms after application [OCD here/ Doesn't like sticky hands]. It makes my skin feels soft after application and I absolutely love the super light and refreshing scent of lotion and not overpowering at all.

I will definitely purchase it when I finish this one that i have.

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence retails at $18.90 for 50ML at selected pharmacies, supermarkets and hypermarkets in Singapore.
I know you can find them in Watsons because I saw it just yesterday~ love the display counter
 photo DSC_0105.jpg

Hope you will now enjoy good skin protection like me!

p.s. Just incase you are wondering why I did not have the bowl and lemon like other bloggers... my bowl arrived SHATTERED and my lemon got stabbed to death in the process. Please don't laugh and try to hold a one minute silence for that innocent little lemon. *inserts lemon funeral picture here*
==

Some random update~

went to watch Warm Bodies with my mom yesterday. Yep, the movie just hit Singapore shores not long ago even though it was out in US quite awhile back. It is quite the quirky movie, and made me and my mom laughed a lot. So catch it if you have not.

Absolutely LOVE R. He is so adorable *sighs*



My mom was really amusing me when we were ordering Subway for dinner, it was her first time and glad that she enjoyed the sandwich as much as I do. It rocks sometimes to have your mom have the same tastebuds as you~

Porcelain Doll X Etude House Make Tutorial

sponsored


picture credits to Evinka.com

What is your first thought when Porcelain doll is mention? Snow white skin? Big round eyes? Or is it rosy cheeks?
For me, to be honest, it will be horror ._. Example: The Island of the Dolls

The very first porcelain dolls are actually china dolls, made of white glazed porcelain with a glossy, rather than matte finish. The French and Germans began making dolls in 1860, with bisque porcelain, giving rise to Porcelain/Bisque dolls today.
While porcelain dolls are still bought as toys, most are now used for decorations or collections.

My look is inspired by porcelain dolls made for the latter.
Every girl has a child-like innocence that can be shown with the sweet and feminine aspects drawn from Etude House. Fair skin, big round lively eyes, blushing cheeks.
Porcelain dolls are often portrayed with flawless white skin in fashion shoots, however I've decided to adopt an Eurasian look instead, with sun-kissed skin and curls that are soft and can be worn on a daily basis. It's fun to look like a doll without coming off as scary or deathly pale once in awhile!

Thank god for Etude House... if not I will probably do a horror doll look.*gets smacked*

Let's take a look what I used in this tutorial:

 photo DSCF7944_640x480.jpg

A. Precious Mineral BB Compact Bright Fit SPF30/PA++ W13 Natural Beige 10g - S$30.90
B. Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream SPF50+/PA+++ W13 Natural Beige 35g - S$36.90
C. Kissable Mix & Mix Eyes BR401 Holiday Dream - S$36.90
D. Lash Perm 3 Step Volumecara - S$26.90
E. Lovely Cookie Blusher #10 Peach Parfait - S$12.90
F. Look at my Eyes OR202 - S$7.90
G. Browny False Lashes - S$5.90
H. Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips PBE001 - $26.90
I. Bling Bling Eye Stick #09 Golden Tail Star - S$8.90

Note: Price list taken from store.

Korean makeup products always makes sure you have the easiest and fastest way to complete your makeup look, so let's go!

Tutorial Start!

Base Makeup

 photo Picture1.jpg

1. Make sure you have clean and moisturized your face! Keep your hair out of the way to do your makeup. Choose a large range of masks,moisturizers and toners from Etude House to prep your skin~ I suggest their moistfull collagen series!

2. Even out your skin colour and cover up imperfections with [B]. Endorsed by Dara from 2NE1[BIG FAN HERE], this BB cream gives really good coverage. Pat on another layer or two below eyes to lighten dark circles. Remember to cover your lips and neck too!
note: Do not confuse eye bags with dark eye circles! Eye bags cannot be covered easily and dabbing on too much cream might result in creasing.

3. Mattify your skin for that porcelain look with [A]. It gives a light coverage and makes the BB cream last longer. You might look a little scary at this point, but that's okay!


Eyes

 photo DSCF7932_640x197.jpg

 photo DSCF7899_640x246.jpg
4. Use [03] from [C], a light coral colour, and apply that all over the lids taking it up to the brow bone. This serves as a base colour and brow highlighter.

 photo DSCF7902_640x258.jpg
5. Use [04] from [C] in the center of the lids.

 photo DSCF7904_640x300.jpg
6. Avoid harsh dark eyelining. Use [06] from [C] as a replacement for eye liner.


Eyebrows and Nose

 photo DSCF7905_640x402.jpg
7. For eyebrows, use [F] to fill in the brows and [04] from [C] to outline the eyebrows lightly. Keep the brow drawing straight, instead of arching as per normal. This will create orangey light brown child-like eyebrows. Apply light brown eyebrow mascara if desired for a lighter colour.

For nose, contour with [04] from [C] for a smaller nose.


Eyes, Lips, Cheeks

 photo Picture2.jpg

8. Apply [D] on top and bottom lashes for that wide doll eyes. Endorsed by Dara from 2NE1, Volumecara lets you choose your type of lashes from natural to glam. I love how this mascara helps to keep your lashes up ,if you do not have super droopy lashes ,so that you would not require curling before hand. The volume and length is great too!
Apply [G] to emphasize on top lashes, yet keeping it mild with the brown fibers.

9. Apply [E] below cheek bones. Dolls are usually blushed on the hallows of their cheeks to make them look chubby.
Apply [I] on inner corners of eyes to highlight if preferred.

10. Apply [F] in a strip on nose as shown, and top it up with [E] to mattify it. This is to create the sun-kissed look which is widely seen on porcelain dolls. Dot a few freckles with brown eyeliner if desired. I find it rather cute, so i tried it out for the first time and loving it.

11. Finally, apply [H] on lips. Reshaping the top lip to look a bit more petite and pouty with a larger surface on the bottom lip.



Little Lou from Expressionsdolls.com was my main inspiration as I thought that she looks as cute as a little cupcake and definitely suitable as a mascot for Etude House.


My Final Look
