Weekend Beauty Cravings

 

This is what being confined in the home does to a beauty addict – it makes me crave for even more makeup… …

Dolly Wink has been featured on so many blogs. It’s a must have just like the NAKED PALETTE by Urban Decay. Strange comparison I know but I really really want both items!

I would buy Dolly Wink Products just for the packaging because it’s so cute. I’ve read reviews on the liquid and pencil eyeliner and I’ve decided that their eye liner is a must have item! The chocolate brown  shade looks lovely! Check out Cosmetic Candy’s review here !

Next up is Dolly Wink oh so talked about lashes. I am game to try them all especially the lower lashes as it isn’t easy to find seamless & easy to apply ones! Apparently, I was reading that they cost more than MAC falsies thus my expectations are pretty high for this line by KOJI.

My eye bags are big and black and SANA concealers are good and affordable and it dose not irritate the skin around my eyes! Time to hide and zap away all evidence of late night feeds!

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil ! I want Zero ( BLACK ) Apparently, these stay on super long! I really want to other colors too ~ they look FUN!

 

Lastly, I would love to try on Canmake’s Perfect Brown Eyes & Melty Nude lip. The eyeshadow swatches really well and I love the lipstick colors!

 

Do you have your eye on any beauty products?? I would love to know and maybe I can add them to my ever growing list!

Soft Purple & Gold EOTD & SKII

 

Just a quick soft EOTD.with a soft wash of shimmery purple and a hint of golden on the inner corners of the eye.  I tight lined my eyes and decided to go heavy on the mascara.

 

I’ve been using SKII facial treatment cleanser for some time now and I must say I’m loving it . It’s a really effective cleanser that does not leave the skin dry or overly moisturised. It leaves my skin looking translucent & clear and feeling very soft. I love the smell of this cleanser too and incorporating it into my daily cleansing routine has been a joy. I highly recommend it :)

Soft Bronzy EOTD

 

Hihi!! I did this really quick bronzy look and it actually looks better in person than on camera. I think it’s high time to retire my canon but I’ll have to wait until my confinement ends before I go hunting for a new camera.  Sorry about the colour turnout for the mean time. I’m loving all these neutral shades right now and surprisingly, I’m using a super cheap black kohl eyeliner from Sasa and it works beautiful for smudgy eyes :)

Items Used: Sasa Black Eyeliner,  Fairy Drops Mascara, Castledew Eye Mousse, Bourjois Eyeshadow ( Brown shade) , Koji Eyelash Curler, Loreal Super Liner

             * I SO SO WANT *               

• URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE

 

The shades are simply delicious and this is a beautiful palette that I must get my hands on. I’ve watched way too many vids and read too many reviews on this palette. YEs, I know it’s super lovely and I want it too!!!

• SUGARPILL COLD HEART 4 COLOR PALETTE

Gorgeous Packaging, pigmented & oh so vibrant shades. I can’t wait to try these pressed and some pigments from this company. Check out a good review on this palette here:

• ROYCE CHOCOLATE

I just want some awesome soft melty chocolate. I still have a long time to go before I get to taste these babies. Arghh!!!! \

Okie, 4 more days to the weekend sweeties! Eat some yummy chocolates for me in the meanwhile :-)

Quick Update

 

I am feeling pooped from the long night feeds and endless diaper changes but baby boy’s smile and cute adorable laughs really make it all worth it. I love him when he’s angry and I love him when his happy and I even love him when he pees on me. I love being a mommy.

Aren’t babies the most expressive little ones !? Here’s my cutie pie looking angry, happy and curious :-) hehe

hehe, here’s some super adorable shoe his Aunty bought for him :-) They are a little too big for him now but it’s for ages 0-6 months, so no worries here.

 

Oh, I was browsing through some Japanese Mags and here are some hairstyles that I am loving. So many hair colours to decide from and I really like all of them! ? ! I

On the post pregnancy mommy front, I’ve managed to lose around 10- 12 kg in 3 weeks ( not too sure about the current number because I don’t have a weighing machine and have been only able to take my weight at the Doctor’s Office. I’m targeting for another 8-10kg and it’s all being done through a very healthy but strict confinement diet, an excellent tummy binder, my wonderful mother in law & massage lady who massage the wind\air and fats out of me and breast feeding! 

Enjoy your Weekend Sweetpeas!

Hi Tech Beauty Gadgets

 

I was flipping through a local Singaporean Magazine and I stumbled across this interesting read from Women’s Weekly. Usually I wouldn’t bother but I think it’s high time to start pampering my skin. It’s looking neglected after having my baby and a little high tech TLC wouldn’t hurt !

I’ve got my eye on the Skin Doctor Powerdermabrasion System Pack and Sephora Professional Mini Heated Lash Curler! Both these items are in my current wish list and I’m pretty excited to come out of my confinement period and test these babies!

My Lovely Baby Boy

It was a big arrival with both families waiting anxiously in the waiting hall. My spinal c-section lasted around 30 minutes and I was freaking out until I heard them say: “He’s Out !” My baby boy was born on 5th August 2010 at 7.38am and weighed 2.89kg. What a miracle boy he was.

                                    Hello World

The second day saw Baby Boy face changing a little more. Looking like daddy !! He looked exactly like me on DAY 1 and on Day 2 his features started getting more defined and he was growing to be every bit the charmer I knew he would be.
:
My most favourite shot of them all. I need to get a better low light camera because this shot was so characteristic of him after a good feed. Cleaned and sleeping with a smile on day 3.

4th Day: Too busy checking out early morning plus baby boy was in the nursery waiting to be discharged. Alot of settling down to do and I was just too pooped and exhausted to do anything. This life changing experience was catching up with me and I was just out of it totally.
Having spent much of the fifth day getting settled into a new environment, Baby Boy is finally looking all rested and happy. His hair is always standing like his dads and he never fails to melt my heart every time ( - Except when he’s cranky, hungry and poopy - )!! hahaha
Thanks for waiting patiently for Baby’s pictures and for all your well wishes :)

Baby Blovet

My little man has finally arrived in the most gentle, quiet and peaceful fashion. He didn't wail, he didn't sob, he made a I'm sleepy face and literally stole my heart away.
I can't post a picture yet as I'm still stuck to the bed but I'll have it up soon.

Take care sweeties

Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Sexy Enamel Lip Gloss ( Whitey Pink 02)

 

                      

                           INSTANT NUDE LIPS                               Promises :-

                               +long lasting gloss and moisture

                               +Convenient tube bottle with brush tip

                               Price : 16.90 SGD

                               Made In Japan

 

My Thoughts:-

I personally don’t know what to make of the texture and feel of KISS ME HEAVY ROTATION lip gloss. It doesn’t feel like a lip gloss or a lip balm. It has the consistency of OCC lip tars, without the intense color payoff.  Also this lip gloss gets a little drying after an hour and there is not much of a shine. It creates more of a matte nude lip and a good lip scrub as well as lip balm is a must before applying this lip gloss. The color is a light peachy pink when you swatch it but on my lips, it does look very washed out alone and when I apply concealor, I find that it takes on the shade of the concealor. I find myself having to use either my CandyDoll Lip concealor or MAC’s Lipglass ( Lust) to get the best out of this lip gloss.

 

Hello! I don’t see any resemblance with the lips on the packaging and my own lips. I am wearing a thin coat of lip concealor & a dab of KISS ME in the pic above. This was taken in natural daylight. Although I’m not loving the texture of KISS ME, I have to say that it looks better in photograph than in real life. I find streaks of unevenness if I talk or drink, or if I put on a little too much gloss, so that kinda makes me paranoid about checking my lips ever so often if I do wear this lip gloss out.

 

 

 

Some people like the twisting - OPEN /CLOSE action of KISS ME packaging. Well, I hate it. I have a memory of a fish and if I were in a rush, I would twist it and leave it that way and put it back into my pouch and that’s the end of it. I can just imagine lip gloss oozing out from my pouch and I would be kicking myself and threatening to just dump this lipgloss in the nearest bin!

I would leave  KISS ME at home and never take it out because I know just how careless and forgetful I can be. I’ve read other reviewers who adore this packaging but I personally don’t care for it. I am really old school about how lip glosses should look!

Well, I’m not crazy over this lip gloss at all. I don’t quite know how it will hold up in public cause I’m a little hesitant about looking like a washed out ghost and having to check my lips a billion times is a big turn off. I’m hoping this is one product that I will hate and than grow to love after a while. A girl can wish!

I’ll probably update on Kiss Me if I do fall in love with it though :-)

KOJI Eyelash Curler Review

 

I was doing some shopping for a friend and I just had to get this cute Green Packaged KOJI No.70 Eyelash Curler too. Usually I never pay any attention to the eyelash curlers in SASA, due to a previous negative purchase experience  but if another beauty blogger is asking for a certain brand and we usually have similar taste in cosmetics, than I get pretty excited about it & ta da. Also, some of you have also recommended this curler!

Maybe I have some serious curler fetish going on as I’ve already bought 3 in the past month but seriously I was getting frustrated at the larger sized watsons curler which did not allow me to close my makeup pouch! lesson learned as I like compact makeup pouch and the KOJI eyelash curler smaller size allows me to keep my makeup case that way.

KOJI EYELASH CURLER NO.70(Regular, 33mm) 

*Cute Green Packaging

*Affordable

*Reliable Quality ( Made in Japan)

* Band Width 33mm ( fits my small eyes pretty nicely) – no biting of the skin at all

* Good grip and nice tension when curling

Size Comparison ( Watsons Lash Curler)

As I’ve found out there are other curlers in this series and they seem to differ in terms of band width and some are even foldable. Could not find the others though ( no 71, 72,100, Moni etc…) . All I’ve found were  No. 70 and 73 Koji curlers :(

Anyways,I do like my Koji No.70 :P   

** Naked Lashes after curling:

It’s so dangerous buying things for others, I just end up buying extras for myself!!  hehe

                                    Take Care & Have a great Monday :)
