How many blushers can a girl own?

Apparently... a lot. I mean a lot. But I use it everyday you know... well... almost. Maybe some day I can pass it down to my grandchildren when my face starts falling prey to gravity while lines of happiness/anger refuse to erase themselves no matter how much collagen or sillybin one consumes. But then again, who says cosmetics can last that long.

A picture says a thousand words, in my case, a picture shows :

Hey, that's less than a thousand words! *beams* Which means...... I can buy more? Let us see how long this will take me to finish.

Never perhaps?

What happens when I am bored?


12am No school the next day! Yipeeee, don't have to sleep early. But there's nothing to do! *sulks* I have a boring life. If my life was slightly more interesting, I would be clubbing and having fun picking up a new guy. Alright! I was just kidding. I am quite happy with the guy I have now. At the moment. Bleah.

12.15am I know! Its time to play with makeup. Hmmm... Taylormade Minerals just declared that she is going to charge for shipment JUST to Singapore. Now, that's pretty unfair, why just Singapore? But I can totally understand where's she is coming from. Probably some gals bug her everyday with emails asking her where is their shipment and why is it taking such a long time to arrive etc... I don't blame her for being frustrated, if it was me, I would have declared something worse. But... getting back, I decided to recreate my own favourite TMM pigment by mixing my current pigments. Before I do that, I must say that I got my package from Lin. The Sweetscents pigments were overflowing! So much that I can probably not feel any pain if I were to spill some.kekeke.

12.30am My final product!


After I swatched it on my hand...

The one in the middle is the one that I'm trying to recreate. The one on the left is the final product. Not thaaaat close I must admit but its still pretty close? hehehe...

1am So being inspired and all, I tried to create another colour. Was thinking of a minty green colour that is more to the blue side... and I hope I succeeded. Now if I have two pretty eyeshadow colours, what should come next? yesh! A blush. And my favourite colour for a blush is pinky peach! So eventually after mixing and blending, my end result! :)


So this is what happens when I have too much time and don't sleep until 2am. Now I just need more Sweetscents pigments to create more............................... *evil laughs*

Twisted Fayte - Rockstars Collection

My long-waited Twisted Fayte Rockstars collection is finally here! It arrived together with my Sundressing pigments that I bought from someone in CC. Well, let's just skip the sad part about a pinch versus 1/4 tsp and proceed on to admiring my haul from TF! Wait! Haven't I just received one package not long ago, scroll down and there! Just two posts away, I just had a TF package arriving. Where's the pictures!? None I must admit, so to give our eyes a treat, I took pictures of the pigments with the cap open and even did a swatch on my hands!



Admire with desire alright, not my hand!! The pigments!! :P

First, the Naked Angel Water Shouffle missed out from the previous order. Review : It is meant to be used as an eyeshadow base. When applied, there is this cooling sensation, not that it is significant, but just thought that I will point it out. As an eyeshadow base, it helps the pigment adhere to the eyelid, and prevent creasing of the eyeshadow especially if you have double/triple eyelids that are exceptionally oily. Also, it brings out the colour of the eyeshadow, and evidence of that in later photos.

Now for the neutrals, whites and pinkish colours.

The blues... I think they are really pretty.

Notice that the third colour from the left looks really sheer when applied alone? I then dabbed a bit of the purple shimmer shouffle (the one on the extreme right) before applying the same colour again. It is the turquoise patch above the third swatch. Looks really pretty now right? :)



The greens! My favourite!

Finally, the darker colours. The one on the extreme right was brown on the website, not sure why it became whitish. DEoxidation perhaps? :P

I've also ordered the lip shouffles. Review : These are really lovely, with the most perfect descriptions of colours as listed on the website. However, when I tried the middle on my lips, there was this really funny smell that put me off. It tasted like those very synthetic lipsticks that old women wear and it was really runny. Not sure if it is to be used as a gloss or a lippie, so maybe tomorrow I will try it with a lipbalm under it first.  I am rather particular about the smell and taste of my lip products. I have thrown away brand new lipsticks just because the smell is such a turn-off. Maybe this will work for someone else, I'm not sure. :) But the colours are really perfect!

That's all for now! Probably this will be my last......Twisted Fayte package in the next 2 months? haha, I don't have much interest in their latest collection. And this time, she didn't include any free samples for me! *sulks*



Sweetscents up next! One from Ebay and one from my dear Lin.

Oopz I did it again!

Remember when you watched tv programmes and they showed scenes of the eccentric scientist in a laboratory surrounded by bubbling chemicals... Colourful liquids that make you wish that you can mix them up and create a new chemical! Then when you finally got to study chemistry, you think "finally I get the chance to play with them... heh heh heh..." But... when you step into the lab for the first time, your face falls because you realise that majority of the chemicals are... not.. colourful!!! The only one that is pretty and makes you wish that you can bring it home is Copper Sulphate that's all. Though it does reminds me of a sapphire crystal.. but then again, I digress. Why am I talking about all these, because his sister just bought back 8 bottles of Victoria's Secret Body spray available in many colors! As I was pouring them into smaller decants, I felt just like the eccentric scientist mixing the different chemicals up! I am just so weird.

Don't these smaller bottles make you wanna drink them up? hehehz...

On Vesak Day, happened to pop by OG. And got myself a top that is very cheap. Only $12.90 and it was 20% off!!

Then dropped off at Raffles City and got myself another MAC item. hehe.. I think so long about a $49 pillow and I don't even blink an eye when I buy a $38 MAC item. What is wrong with me!!?

Proceeded on to Jurong Point to meet the boy and got myself a very short skirt. Even though I don't think I will get the chance to wear it, but one fine day.. my dream will come true and I WILL get legs like Irene Ang.

In case you were wondering that the white thing on my new top is, it is an eyeliner sealant. Use it as an eyeliner base and put some pigments on top and taaa daaaa you get a very lovely lined eye.

Yesterday the postman came and brought me something that I have been waiting a long time for. A Coach bag that I swapped for with loads of makeup! Yipee!! Its so pretty and smooth to touch. Comes with two pom poms and a Coach tag. I think it will go well with the Coach keychain
that I bought. heehee..

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Inside the coach bag ... A MAC violet pigment and MAC Lingerie lipstick - my FIRST MAC lippie!(Unbelievable but true)

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Had another swap package and in it were 7 of some long waited pigment samples! So happy.. I just need more containers to put them in.3 of the colours are not realised in Singapore yet.

heehee.. This is a never ending thing. And I am sure when I go BKK, it will be worse. But its ok, I am a rather happy gal who just needs more space in my room, or rather I need a new house! muahahaha
