So I’ve this current beauty addiction. Am hooked onto YSL lipsticks after randomly walking into the ION boutique one day with Joey and just randomly got a nice red lipstick cause of the packaging.
Current YSL lippies count: 5 and more to come. 
Enjoy watching my ramble in the video. I’ve done swatches in the video too. Forgot to take photo of it. Ops.

To celebrate it’s 50th Anniversary, Mary Kay have came up with the One Woman Can Beauty Contest to search for the Mary Kay Asia Cover Girl. The finale of the contest will be held in Hong Kong where local winners from each region will compete with one another.
Through this contest, we get to witness the transformation of women from all walks through makeover sessions held by Mary Kay’s independent beauty consultants.
Do you to be one of the lucky winner and get to go to Hong Kong for the finale?
Mary Kay customers from Malaysia and Singapore are only required to follow simple steps for a chance to win a four-day-three-night all-expenses paid trip to Hong Kong for the star-studded regional Finale event.
All you have to do is to arrange a beauty makeover session with one of Mary Kay’s independent beauty consultant. Afterwhich, upload the before and after photos on to www.makeovercontestmarykay.com! Simple right?
I was curious as per how the makeover session will be like so I went to try it out for myself. It is actually a self makeover session where the beauty consultant will guide you through the steps. I managed to learn some new tips through the session too!
Check out my before and after makeover photo! XD
One thing I always keep in mind is that makeup is used to enhance your features, not to change your looks.
I always feel more confident with makeup and I feel that Mary Kay is trying to bring confidence to all women out there through this beauty contest. Throughout the session, the beauty consultant, Liana who’s conduction the class for me and Fenny shared with us some tips and also her story which was pretty inspiring.

It’s had been so long since I last did a look book post. Have been lazy on dressing up and putting on makeup recently. I even gone bare faced now to work, unless I’ve an event after.
Anyways, was out to the S.E.A Aquarium with the Cousins* last Saturday so I took the chance to dress up.
I name this the Girlish Preppy look.
Outfit Breakdown:
Beret/Bracelets – Forever 21
Top: ZARA
Skirt: BKK
Knee Socks: New Look
Shoes/Bag: Scape Underground
Here’s the make of the day. I opted for something more colorful, more cheery for the eyes and kept the rest simple.
Here’s a closer look at the eye make, it’s a blend of light green, teal and lilac. I used a light shimmery cream shade to highlight the brow bone area. The light green on the inner eyelid, and the inner side of the lower lash line. The teal is on the outer corners.
If you’re wondering where’s the lilac, I used it on the lower lash line and in between the green and teal as a blending color. When using colors, always remember to blend the colors together so it won’t look patchy!
For the eye make, I’ve used 4 colors from my Sleek Mediterranean Palette L.E palette. I’ve also lined my eyes thinly with the Fantastic eyeliner in Secrete Khaki from Kick It Side for a little definition. Mascara wise, I’m using the DollyWink Volume Mascara. Primer wise, I’m using my HG NARS Eye Primer.
For blush, I used Sleek Santorini Blush applied lightly, lips wise I used Rimmel London Lipstick and ZA lip gloss in a baby pink shade.
Foundation wise I had on Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation, set with Urban Decay Razor Sharp HD powder. I’ve also used the YSL Touche Eclat for concealing and highlight.
Hope you like this look!

Introducing to you Kick It Side Makeup developed by the well known BB cream brand Skin79.
I’ve received three items from the range for review, an eyeliner, mascara and the cream eyeshadow base.
Available in two shades, Metallic Pearl and Silvery Grey. The former suitable for day looks and the latter will be great for smokey eyes. I’ve received the former. This is priced at $19.90.
It’s a very light creamy texture and goes on the skin smoothly. I think this can be used either as a base or on its own as a highlighter shade.
I’ve received the Fantastic eyeliner in Secrete Khaki, a deep olive green which is a good substitute for the usual black and brown.
There’s a total of 5 shades and is priced at $14.90.
I’ve also received the Hedwig Lash mascara for length. I like this kind of brush comb as it minimized clumps. This is priced at $19.90.
Kick It Side is available exclusively at Watsons.
Affordable and trendy make up from Korea, Kick It Side is worth checking out.

Hi all!
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a beauty haul and it’s just awesome to be hauling beauty products. And so here’s my first beauty haul in 2013.
Etude house have loads of pretty glitter polishes now! These are $6.90 each!
I also got the nail polish set from the Etoinette collection. Look at the colors and that nail stickers! Too pretty to miss!! I’m going to wear this for CNY! This is $16.90.
Bought the Moisture Body Cream simply cause it smells really nice. It’s $22.90 for a 200ml tub. I also got the Silk Scarf hair mask to try after seeing Miyake raving about it on twitter. It’s $6.90 in the local Etude stores.
I‘ve also gotten the large 500ml bottle of the Wonder Pore Freshner at $32.90. Love this toner as I feel that it helps minimize the appearance of the pores plus refreshes the skin well. I’ve also gotten the emulsion from the skin mal:gem range to try as I’ve ran out of one to use for my day regime. It’s $25.90 for 200ml.
Saw that Canmake have 25% off at Watson’s the other say so I got their new foundation and primer to try. This is the natural range which does not includes any synthetic chemicals. It is also able to be removed with just water. The original price for the foundation and primer is $29.90 and $24.90 respectively.
Saw this set of 6 mini lip balms from Fresh going at 30% off which makes it $51, originally priced at $73. Lip balms are a staple in my regime and I always finish them real fast or lose them easily. The size of this lip balm is great to throw into the bag or purse!
I’m so glad that YSL have made its way back to SG shores. If not I will not have found out how awesome their range of lip sticks are. The two pictures are from their new Rouge Volupte Shine range. I’ve own two other from the Rouge Sheer Candy range and the Rouge Volupte Range. According to the BA, this new range is something in between the sheer candy and rouge volupte which provides a pigmented glossy color.
YSL priced their lipsticks at $45 each. I personally feel that it’s worth every single cent of it as it’s long lasting plus moisturizing. I love my sheer candy one so much that I’m contemplating to get a back up of the color I had. Now I’ve 4 lip sticks from YSL and trust me, this number will definitely increase over time.
And that’s all for my beauty haul post!
NOT!
It’s always great to share some beauty love with everyone so I’m giving out the SUGAR Lip Treatment from Fresh (the one on the extreme right in pic, dark brown packaging but it’s a clear balm) to one lucky reader!
To win, simply like my FB page if you have not and leave a comment below stating your FB name and why would you like to win the Lip Treatment.
The giveaway will end 1 Feb 2013 1800 HRS.
