Saturday Update

Posted on

Yohoo~ I am going to see niu er in less than 3 hour’s time. Honestly, I can’t describe my joy and excitement. I really idolize niu er a lot. He inspire me to really be who I am now. Someone who is passion about skincare and beauty. Since I am a bit late for going out so I shall just blog a short entry about my nails.

I started DIY-ing my nails. I always buy lots of nail polish and I never used it for once before. Seriously, I am bad in applying nail polish. I will blog about it soon but today just a short showcase of my nails.

This is the Essie’s Vermillionaire from September Vanity Trove. It looks fluorescent red with a bit of orange tone. The strange thing is it looks more red on me but when my mum applied, it looks a bit more orange on her nails.

Essie’s Vermillionaire on my mum’s finger.

This week I changed my nails colour to OPI’s So Many Clowins … So little time that I bought before my wedding.

After one coat of So Many Clowins … So little time on my finger. I almost faint by the sheer-ness of the polish

I then applied another 2 layer but I really do not like the sheer-ness of the polish and so I continue to apply until the 5th layer.

Finally, I am satisfied by the colour but I should be more careful in buying polish in the future because it is an extremely sheer colour.

However, applying so much layer cause the polish to be hard to dry and my colour was ruined like the next morning whereby the surface became rough. I guess the based of the nail colour is still not dry so it is still soft and ya~ I ruin it.

I guess I will use this colour on my toes in the future because I am not a fan of sheer nail polish on my hands.


Vanity Trove (August 2012)

Posted on

Wohoo~ I thought I will only be getting next month since now I no longer stayed with my parents and my place is forever without any people. Therefore I still remained all my beauty box subscription to my parent’s place.

This month, I even did a youtube video. I did it while waiting for my hair to dry and I used an iphone to edit the video. Impressive right?

This month Vanity Trove Box in my view have several repeated cleanser which I feel can be actually better by having a more variety of products. I have yet to review my last month Vanity Trove Box which actually a Tang’s box. Really appreciated the kind gesture because i heard that the Tang’s box was given on random and the previous month box was not as good.

I have yet to used any the items yet. I will do a review again once I used the items.


Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée

Posted on

Everyone knows I am crazy when it comes to Jill Stuart, I dun really used it but yet I spend a lot of it because it has nice packaging and it smells nice. It also like to come out with limited edition to tempt me to buy them. However, I was browsing online as usual, something caught my eyes!!

Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée cosmetic looks so pretty. They are not those cute or glamorous type of beauty. One look it reminded me or noble and royal which is supposed to be as Merveilleuses is a name given to the most prominent leaders of female fashion which is also their image of the brand. It portray an image that other than the general beauty that everyone is doing, the most important is to find your own unique beauty. They hope that by using Les Merveilleuses de Laduree to find the unique beauty in you.

I guess there is a lot of people who know what is Laduree, they make fantastic Macaroons. Ladurée is a luxury bakery brand founded in 1862 by Louis Ernest Ladurée, a french miller from the southwest of France. The brand is known as the inventor of the double-decker macaron known all over the world.


It has a name of “Best Macaroons in the world”

It was quite a shocking news for a pastry company to also join to competitive cosmetic line. It is a colarbortion with Albion and Ladurée. Albion made other brands like Anna Sui, Jill Stuart and Paul and Joe too. It was first launch in Japan, Tokyo early this year. It will be launching in Europe this autumn and later in US and the rest of Asia.

Products of first launch:
* Face Color Rose Ladurée. Available in 3 shades, this is a powder blush pressed into rose petals. (¥7350 for refill; ¥3150 for case)
* Cream Cheek Base (5 shades, ¥4410)
* Pressed Cheek Color: (20 shades, ¥3900 for refill; ¥1575 for case and brush)

* Face Powder (4 shades, ¥8820 for refill, ¥3780 for case with puff)
* Cheek Brush (¥6300)
* Face Powder Puff (¥630)
* Hand Mirror (¥3675)

Understand why it mesmerized me? First is their flower pedal blusher, it reminded me of the ancient type of makeup where woman have to wet their lips and apply the lip colouring paper by putting it in between.


I bought 4 pedal from their 01 and 02 blusher. I think it cost around S$11/pedal with shipping. It has a nice smell too. But its price is way more expensive than Jill Stuart. I guess that will stop me from wanting it as Jill Stuart is still my favourite. I feel that Jill Stuart is for princess and Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée is for queen or diva.

Below are the Summer and Fall released respectively.

Recent Haul

Posted on

Even though I am really packed with studies, assignment and mid terms for last month, I still manage to do some minor shopping. Just finished my last report for this term’s module, so I decided to blog a haul entry first as it take lesser time.

Let’s just start from my recent haul from Japalang.
 Great Sales leh~ Up to 90% Sales!!

This is my overview of the items that I buy there.

 I discovered I got 2 items not in the photo. There are the items.

 K Palette eyeliner and eyebrow liner at S$14 and S$17.

 Details of the eyebrow liner. This liner consist of a powder tube and the liquid liner.

 Swatches of the eyebrow liner~

 Details of the liquid eyeliner. I specially chose a brown because saw a few blogger using this colour, so I decided to try brown colour.

 The brush tip is super thin and I tried it on my eyes, it is easy for beginner like me to draw a nice liner.

 Next, I bought the 2 Gransebo blusher – 04 (S$10 for 2).

 It has a nice frosty pink shade. I think it is too light for me but that’s the only shade around and I think this shade may also look nice on me.

 I have unboxed the mask so what is left is just the mask itself. The mask is buy 1 get 1 free at S$10 which is very worth it and not to forget, for a kitty fan like me, this is something not to be missed.

 Naruko items. I actually bought 4 from the sales. 1 Naruko Tea Tree toner (S$16), 1 Tea Tree Treatment serum (S$18), 1 Celestial White Moss (S$21), 1 ampm washing powder. Trust me, they are really great and worthy products.

 The lucky draw Gachapon~

 I only got 2 paper soap and 1 kitty hair tie which u can see from the group photo. The body scrub was a complementary door gift from them.

You can see my long ass story of the sales here!~ I decided to separate the haul post as I really am tired and need to sleep now, if not I will not wake up for my bridging lesson tomorrow.
