My First YT Video ~ Night Out Make-up

Hi all,

I finally finished editing my first YT video. IT'S NOT SO GOOD btw. There's no sound during the first few seconds when I'm blabbering, coz I was having trouble combining own audio and without own audio (which had a lot of noisy background sound) Thanks to Rihanna's Te Amo! At least now I know that I shouldn't play music when filming! I'm sorry about that. I'm still learning...
You can just fast forward to the make-up part. I will put up another one with the audio in a few days.

I wanted to put up the video anyways coz I didn't sleep at all last night editing this, so I didn't want it to be a waste :)

Sound will start at 0:56

ƸӜƷ Butterflies On My Nails ƸӜƷ

Don't we all love butterflies? They are so cute! Well, as long as you don't think about where they came from...ugh! *shivers*
But let's not think about that. They are cute and colorful and happy, that's that :)

Last week I just did a very simple nail art (to match my purple dress) using butterfly nail stickers that I got last year. Yes, I forgot I had them =D

Please excuse the discolored nails underneath. That's what happens when you don't bother with Base Coat!

My First "Love Package" Ever! (From The Netherlands) =D

Who likes presents? Raise your hands if you do !o!  =D

Today, I received my very first "Love Package" from Witoxicity
Actually, we both don't really like the name "Love Package" but we can't think of any other name for it. So, if you come up with any ideas please share them with us hehe...
I am so touched by this sweet & thoughtful gesture of hers. Please check out her blog. You will surely love it! I honestly think that she writes the best reviews and you'll be blown away by her creatively AMAZING photographs, trust me on that. Her nail designs are oh-so-beautiful and presented very uniquely.

Here are the cute fabulous stuff she sent me :)

Star Shine Lip and Eye Cream

I can't wait to use these. The 1st two are for lips, 3rd is a top coat (for lips I'm guessing) & last two are cream eyeshadows

Revlon Beyond Natural Lashes Review + How To Apply & Remove False Lashes + False Lash Applicator

Revlon Beyond Natural False Eyelashes are professional eyelashes that are ultra lightweight, come with a Precision Lash Adhesive, and are re-usable with proper care. Every box come with its very own reference tip sheet for helpful guides on how to apply and remove these false eyelashes. 

For Fun ~ I Entered a Make Up For Ever Contest =)

I recently submitted a photo for a MUFE  "Win a collection of 50 shades of lipsticks & one of the fabulous picture exhibition" (although I actually don't know what the fabulous picture exhibition is about)


We have to submit a black & white photo with only the lips in color. If you want to see the photo, please click HERE
At first, the closing date for the contest was 3rd June, which was when I posted my entry, but then they extended the closing date to 18th  June.
I'll put up more photos in this site later.


Anyways, I just wanted to share this with you guys. Yes, winning it will definitely make me jump up and down, but I won't be sad if I don't win either, because I had a lot of fun doing the look and I'm happy that at least some people loved it :)


P.S. : I just want to let you know beforehand that my Facebook is only for family and close friends, so please don't add me coz I'll feel bad about not accepting any friend requests from some of you lovely readers. It's just a privacy thing. I hope you can understand :)


Would love to know what you think =)


Thanks for visiting and reading all, I really appreciate it!

Fashion Friday : Night Out Look

Hi all, I did a make-up video on this look, but I haven't finished editing it yet :S . 

I guess it'll be up by next week...no guess...for sure it will be up next week :)

Oh my gosh! Editing is a real pain!!! And I mean that literally. My lower back is hurting because of it.

Mac India ~ Viva Glam Lady Gaga & Cyndi Lauper Lipsticks Launch Date

Three months I waited for these. 3 frickin' months! Calling the Mac stores every week since the lippies launched everywhere else =D. I called....and I called....and I called.....Then I got a definite (I hope that it's 100% though) answer.

Mac India will be launching the lipsticks on the 11th of June people. I hope at this time next Friday, I will have be clicking pictures of them. Yes, I'm getting both. Maybe two of each if nobody stops me ;p

Oh, 11th June come sooner!

Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing & Highlighting Powders Swatch & Review

The Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing & Highlighting Powders come packed in a very cute magnetic notebook-like packaging. Look like chocolates, which makes them simply irresistible!

Bronzing Powder ~ Filled with glints of sunshine. The shade #51 (Peaux claires/medianes) is a medium shade suitable for light to medium skin tones. It looks quite similar to Benefit Hoola in my opinion.

Highlighting Powder ~ Coated with a soft pearly layer for an instant burst of radiance. This is shade #53 which is a mixture of vanilla, pink, purple and gold in it. Can be used on the face and decolletage.

Buy A Satin Pillowcase Before Anti-aging Creams & Hair Treatments

For the last 1 year or so, I always make sure that I sleep on a satin pillowcase every night when I'm home. I don't care if the rest of the bed materials are of a different design and color, because the benefits are worth the daily mismatch.

I am telling you, it does wonders! My hair looks healthier and shinier than ever! And I really do mean 'ever' (say, 5-6 years ever.) And I don't see loose hair stuck on my pillowcase when I wake up anymore! If you have very frizzy, unruly hair, a satin pillowcase will calm it down.
