Saints Vs Sinners

Hi ladies!

As most of you know, I am a sucker for Anna Sui and Jill Stuart makeup. Warning, this post is really picture heavy but...

I promised pictures and here they are!

Firstly, my translucent powders.

I love the anti-Sui and the Anti-Jill.

This is my shimmery transulcent powder. It smells like roses but to be honest, I haven't even opened it yet. I LOVE makeup but I tend to hoard. The words 'special edition' also strike a cord in my soul.

Pretty in pink! While Anna Sui is edgy, Jill Sturt is the ultimate girly girl makeup. It smells like roses too but a more subtle fragance. A very toned down Anna Sui.

STASH! (The eye makeup palette is old but the rest are new.) 2 different types of blushers, a lipgloss and an eye palette.

Swatched without and with flash. Like most 'japanese' makeup, it's subtle and shimmery. Very good for a toned down dewy look. I piled on the eyeshadow because just a swipe is barely enough to show any colour.

Blusher No 1. Note the 2 tone powder. And the little bling bow on the brush! The brush is NOT great. I think it's goat (from the smell). The brush just doesn't seem to capture the powder at all. Use your own. But it's so pretty. Imagine taking this out of your Fendi in the powder room. Feel the death envy glares :P

Blusher No 2. A 4 tone blusher designed to contour your cheeks. It's untouched but I do have one that I am using. It's great to add a rosy shimmer to your skin. It does give a very natural glow. Again, brush sucks!

Note BIG PINK BLING! Soooo in love! I haven't tried it yet. Cos, I have wayyyy too much. But so pretty, how to use?

Bonus item! This is not Anna nor Jill. Who is it by? Guerlain, that's who. I love the kohl applicator. The packaging? Again to die for. It reminds one of exotic Istanbul, I can almost smell the shisah and turkish delight. Note the holographic quality of the eyeshadow. It's like a mermaid's tail. Hmm... Turkish Delight.

Speaking of which, I'll just go sniff my transulcent powder. Might just keep the sweet cravings away.

But I hope you ladies enjoyed the pictures. I'm sorry I can't say too much about application or wear time.
My eye shadows are used with a base, Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Worth it, makeup will not move.

Soooo, til then,
Happy polishing!

NOTD: OPI Blues

Hi ladies!

For weddings, you need something blue. So fingers and tootises it is!

I was a bit pissed off with my manicure cos, despite paying extra for OPI products to be used, my manicure was bubbly. (@.@)

It happens to the best of us but should not when we get it professionally done. But it was cheaper than my usual place. And you know, peanuts, monkeys.

Click on picture for closeup of bubbles! It really annoys me *growl*

But this is OPI's ??????. I forgot to get the name. Anyone can help? It's a pretty dusky blue but a bit meh. I'm not screaming I want. The lady at the shop used 2 coats and yes, she did paint alllllll the way to the cuticles. Thus why its peeling a bit at the top. This is 4 days old.

Now, OPI's Yoga-ta get this blue? Preeeeeeeeeeeeetty! I adore the mirco silver glitter in it. It really adds depth to this lovely navy. 4 days old as well. My other foot has a chip but that's my own fault for wanting to greet tables that way.

Not forgetting, congrats to the happy couple! May you have many many joyous years of peace and love ahead!

A New Start... A New Beginning... And New Feet!

Hi ladies!

I have been missing for a loooong time.

Here's the rundown of my life

1. Got a new house
2. Renovating house
3. Trying to sell my car
4. Got a new job
5. Learning to ride a motorbike
6. Trying to jumpstart a fitness routine (Keyword is try)
7. Lost my cell. Lost all numbers. Went crazy for a while.
8. Feeling anti-social and grumpy.
9. Trying to save money.
10. Learning to work within a budget.

And what's my new job? I got a writer's position at a magazine. A real-life true to goodness publication. Actual paper, comercial but it's not smut. And I get to travel. *beams*

But with all the good, sometimes, you just worry, how's it going to fuck up now?

I know it's negative and I should keep my chin up, I deserve happiness blah blah blah.
But somewhere deeeeeeep inside of me just whispers that I don't deserve it. It's gonna blow up soon.

I-G-N-O-R-E.

I try.

Anyway, new feet?

I recommand you look no further if you do NOT like feet.


Peeling liquid. Intriguing. Sign me up please.

Cos it would be a different solution for your right and left foot. By the way, I got this from Tony Moly for a about S$25.

Before. Thick heals. Grossness abound.

You put on these plastic socks, pour the 'foot' soloution in and then you tape it on. If you look very closely, you will notice I used some extra tape. For that firm hold.

Keep it in for a hour and a half. Watch some Law and Order, play some Plants Vs Zombies, slowly squish waddle your way to the loo... and you are done!

Ummm... No difference? My feet were slightly red and a bit itchy. Was beginning to think this was a bad bad idea.

But then (warning: GROSS PICTURES AHEAD)

Yes. That is dead skin that peeled off 2 days later.

How much?

And this was only about 1/8 of the skin I peeled off. I decided to show just some of the bigger chunks. The skin that came off could have wrapped my Lush Bon Bon lip scrub!

It was extremely satisfying as the skin between my toes peeled and the skin on the top on my fool. I actually had perfect soft almost baby-butt smooth feet.

It worked.

You must try it!
