MAC Hey, Sailor! Launch + Random Chat :D

Helloooo guys! Sorry for not updating my blog. I've been busy with (quite a lot) of some stuffs (and although I have finished my FYP also :p). Yeah including preparing for my graduation show which I've attached the photo below! XD and looking for some jobs recently, as well as arranging my portfolio and make a website for it. So stay tuned! x)

Last Friday I was invited to MAC Hey, Sailor! Launch party at Raffles City and I brought Joyce along with me haha! It was soooo crowded, we came a little bit late and the queue was omg! I like this summer limited series more compare to the previous years. I think it is so hipster and the graphics are so nice! (Sorry I'm a graphic designer so that's my first point oh lol). I personally like nautical and navy color scheme as well :p. Okay now to the collections!

Hey, Sailor!

Yeap as you can see there some of their things are sold out fast! Wow!
I do like the blushes, but I refused to buy them as I already have tons of blush in my stash. The lippies are nice too! And so sorry I have no time to swatch all because it was so crowded! O:

So what did I buy?
A red lip liner!

Throw Me a Line!

It is really nice, especially for those who have a dry lips like me haha. I like the red, it is not too red nor orange and it really defines my lips! I'm so happy that I bought this yeay 8D.


Here is my FOTD with the my new lip liner and I top it with MAC Cockney lipstick:

Hello 8D

And some photos from the launch party:

Ok I have some other stuffs that I want to share with you guys 8D First is...


L'arc~en~ciel concert on last May!
I'm a big fan of the band since I was in secondary (or even primary) school! And watching their concert live is one of my bucket list. It was TICKED last May! 8D8D8D8D

I went there with my classmate, Jia Jun, in the middle of my hectic FYP haha. It was an awesome night and I am so happy that I can't even express it 8D. And I wish they would like to come here again for another concert arghhhh >w<.

waiting for Hyde uh-oh!

Ups you can see my face was so...... ok I don't know how to say. I was very busy that time that I didn't have time to dress up and make up (my eye bag tells everything O__O).

LUSH haul

Hello guys! Hows your weekend? Hope you had a great time (:
As for me, I'm still in the midst of rushing on my projects (okie I dunno why I got time to post, but just take it as a break time lol)
So two days ago after my Friday working out routine, I wandered around Orchard and stopped by at Lush store 8D
I really planned not to buy anything, but the SA is super friendly and she kept recommend me a lot of stuffs ;A; As for the Lush products, I've tried before their solid shampoo back in Indo and Ayesha face mask. I really love them, not only they are good, but also natural and environmentally friendly :D:D

So here are my buys~

Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask

1. Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask
I have a super oily skin, and the SA recommended me this 8D And the name! This just reminds me of Joyce and I's final project XD I've tried it twice and so far so goood. It has a nice smell as it contains blueberry (: The downside is a fast expiry date, like about 1 month? The SA did mention that if you cannot finish it, then you can use it as foot mask. Wow 8D Rate: 4.5/5  (Perhaps I should buy more? Maybe my next buy is Cupcake :D)

Grease Lightning Tea Tree Spot Treatment

2. Grease Lightning Tea Tree Spot Treatment
A spot treatment that comes in a gel form. It contains tea tree, thyme, rosemary, and aloe vera so it smells very soothing and relaxing =w= haha! I've tried it few times and it is great! Haven see much improvement on the spots though, as I don't have much also. But I guess this one is good for prevention as well? Just apply it with your finger after your moisturizer x) Rate: 4/5

Alright, thanks for reading!
Happy (early) Easter! :D

Love,
A

Shu Uemura x Mamechiyo haul! + review 8D

Hello guys! Sorry for not updating so often ): I've been busy with my final year project and this month and next month are just so hectic ;A;
So this is just a quick update on what I've bought recently 8D

Ta~Dah!

Shu Uemura has a collaboration again this spring and this year is with Mamechiyo 8D
In case you need a further info about her, click here! She is a contemporary kimono artist, and all the packaging's patterns are designed by her :D They are super pretty that I cannot resist on buying them 8D

Ok to the review on my buys,
1.  Pore Clarifying Gentle Cleansing Oil
I am a big fan of Shu's skin care as well, especially their award winning cleansing oil ;D. This is my second bottle, and what can I say more? Best ever <3 and as I have a super oily skin, they recommend me to use the pink color one (pore clarifying gentle cleansing oil). The oil is magical, you don't have to double cleanse it. Just wash your face after applying it and voila to fresh skin! 8D 5/5 for this <3


2. UV Under Base Mousse in Beige
Bought this to replace my old UV base. The beige color suits me well than the BB one. Usually use this as my sun screen, and top it with loose powder x) 4.5/5 for UV base.

3. Point Cealer Concealer in medium light sand
Heard about this good concealer from my friend, and the SA recommend me to use this as well x). The best thing about this concealer is the tea tree as one of the ingredients. So it will reduce and treat your acne and even acne scars. I've tried this 2 times and I'm looving it. 4.5/5 for this concealer!

Point Cealer - and trying it out on my hand

And free giftsssss~

Some samples xD~

Mamechiyo tote bag xD

All the photos are taken on my phone, so sorry for the bad quality! I'll use a better one next time! >___<

Thanks for reading guys!
Have a great weekend ahead :D

Second is OPI nailpolish from the new Holland 2012 collection :D

2. Anna Sui Loose Powder in 701

Really suits my skin well, and the rose scents is wooow!

3. Burberry Sheer Foundation in Trench No. 05
