Karaoke, crepes and buys

Another karaoke session yesterday with my college buddies and also going with another group of friends today. I swear I am gonna lose my voice soon.

"Can you celebrate?" by Namie Amuro is my best karaoke song.

Anyway after the karaoke, we went to watch Transformers 3. It has been a long time since I stepped into the cinema.
The show was okay for me, the CG was great but storyline wise, I find it typical.

Also! Shimino crepes!
They have brought over crepes to our country.

Not a good picture but atleast you get the idea of the shop's display of the crepes.
Looks so delicious!

My crepe. It is nicely wrapped up and states that it came all the way from Harajuku (the company atleast?)

So much fresh cream . Mine's in Chocolate banana flavour.

Had a little shopping session. Nothing much.
A cute lacey dress from the store called Code Pink. Not too lacey which is a turn off.

Etude House's Lucid Darling Lipstick in #6.
I like Etude House's old packaging for lipsticks better. I find them more princessy and sweet.
This one is more classy.
#6 is a nudey orange with slight pinks. I have been always finding for a nice orange lipstick which is not too over the top.
Let's see how this works.

FOTD : Periwinkle.

A follow up post since I didn't want to merge the FOTD post with the previous post.
The look of yesterday.
For this look I didn't use any falsies nor contour or highlight since I want to go for something lighter.
The major point of this look is the circle lenses.

Now on to what I have on my face.
Face :
Maybelline Clear Smooth Mineral Foundation in Rose White
ELF Studio HD powder
Colorbox blush in 08
ELF All over cover stick in Rose Beige

Eyes :
Vivienne Sabo Eyeshadow Duo in 39
EGMinerals eyeshadow in British Lavender
Maybelline Eyestudio Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Maybelline TheMagnum Volum' express mascara
ELF Mineral Eye Primer

Lips :
Etude House Dear Darling lipstick in PK002


Florally summer.

Karaoke session was fun after so long. I never thought I missed karaoke so much
Also, I hate how the selection of Jpop is so scarce here.
Atleast I got to sing some of my favourite song, feels so satisfied.
It's really nice to catch up with old friends too. Checking up on their life and so on.

Anyway after karaoke session, I did a little shopping.

I picked up a floral maxi dress which is pretty cheap.
It only cost around RM29. Such a bargain.
The reason I like shopping in Timesquare at times.

Elianto was having sales. I picked up this sorta highlight colour that was 70% off.
The colour is called baby rose but I don't see anything rosy about it. It is a pinkish champagne colour.

I only paid RM4.50 for this which is just slightly above USD1.
I like when they have sales like this but other than this I didn't find anything interesting.

I might be going back to the place to buy somemore clothes. I saw a few that I quite like but didn't pick them up.

EOTD fails and lippies swatches

I am experimenting makeup currently to make sure how am I gonna dress up for o-bon. Want a look that is gonna match my yukata.

I tried. I tried applying like full black eyeliner all over my eyes like how most of my friend does their makeup.

Didn't look quite as good as it should be. Looks too dark on me and made my eyes look smaller (this i don't like.).
Have to retry it again next time by smudging the black outside instead of applying on the waterline.


This, worked out much better even with the red-pink eyeshadow.
It's still in an experimental process sort of look. Not something I would wear out because of the red. Quite an unsafe colour.

Ok now on to the swatches of 2 new lip colours I got from NYX. The rest is just a repurchase.

NYX megashine lipgloss in Dolly Pink.
The colour itself is super pigmented I just applied on to my lower lip and spread it all over the lip to achieve this nice bright pink that is not too pigmented.
I am loving it!

NYX megashine lipgloss in Natural
In the tube it looks a wee bit scary with the beigy colour. I thought I wasn't gonna work for me when I first saw it in the tube.
After applying, it is like one the wearable everyday colours that everyone loves. A beigy nude pink. Very flattering on fair skin.
Also, I am loving it!

NYX lipglosses are best for its price.

Princess dream.


The blush that i always dream for.

The Jill Stuart Blush Blossom in Romantic Sweat Pea.
Jill stuart has the cutest and most princessy packaging ever and ofcourse it comes with a hefty price tag too. One blush cost about USD58 for me.
It comes together with a pretty blush brush with a bow attached.

Some camwhore action with the blush.

It is packed nicely in a pink box.

Let's unveil the princess fantasy.
Sometimes it does looks like the Sailormoon compact thingy. lol

The most beautiful brush I have owned. The bow is so cute.

btw, I am wearing Sugar Candy Pink circle lenses.
My favourite circle lens ever!

my hair is obviously 2 tones, need to get it redyed as soon as possible.
any recommended colours?

Parcels + haul part 2!



Part 2 of the parcel + haul post.

This one is a tinted moisturizer/foundation which I picked up in Russia to try out.
It is really really cheap.
So I have used only once, it works well on days you don't want a heavy coverage. It is light.

A simple swatch.
Too bad it comes in limited tones. Mine is in natural but it seems a little pink tone for me at first but it does blends after applying.

Here comes the continuation of stuffs I got from my parcel.
NYX Lip lacquer pot which I have been wanting to try for the longest time.
I really like NYX lip products. I think they worth every penny you pay for.

I got mine in Georgia Peach.
It is a nudy pink colour. Looks extremely gorgeous from the pot.

LA color eyeshadow palette. Cheap and works really well.
I got too many brown eyeshadow colours. It seems.

NYX Mosaic blush in Rosey. NYX blushes are love too.
Great pigmentation and colour.
Lovely enough?

hello from Malaysia + hauls and parcels!!

Just arrived in Malaysia on July 4th. It feels so good to be home with the parents and also the good food available here.
The only downside about here , it's the hot weather and also, the slow internet speed.

It just have been only the first day, I've been shopping for quite a lot. teehee.
Got two shorts, one from Max-tino (the one with the adorable ribbon) and also one from cotton on. The one from Cotton on is extremely affordable, it's only RM29.00.
Such a bargain.

The following post will be stuffs I've got from my parcels.

First up, a collection of NYX lipglosses.
They are my favourite brand of lipglosses. The consistency is smooth, the colours are pigmented and most importantly they are pretty cheap. I got mine from cherryculture.com.
From left : Dolly pink, Smokey Look, Natural, Mauve, Whipped, Sorbet.

RMK's eyeshadows.
They are used but I got them since they are cheap and I really wanted to try them but not pay the hefty price tag.
Texture is smooth, colours are pigmented and spreads like butter.

Majorlica Majorca's Puff de Cheek in PK333. This is the limited edition colour that I made my mum help me pick it up when I was in Russia.

It comes with a cute puff which I doubt I would use, I prefer using a brush to apply my blusher.

Here's a swatch of it. It is a typical bubblegum pink which goes well with fair skintones.
