This post will probably bore you to tears if you're a guy because its mainly about makeup. =D
And also , even though i haven't really gotten flak for my writings ( or lack thereof ) before , i certainly hope that i will not get slammed for "being narcissistic" , "lacking in quality posts" or etc as with the recent hoo-hah concerning some bloggers.
Being an avid writer myself , i feel that unless one writes maliciously for e.g promoting racism , criticism should always be constructive and comments such as "you suck!" or "wtf are u writing about" certainly does not fall into the said category.
And yes.. each to his own . For e.g , i must admit that although i'm not a big fan of xiaxue ( as in wendy cheng herself ) , but i cannot find any major fault with her other than her holier-than-thou attitude ( which clearly reflects in her writings ) . I enjoy reading what she writes and check back regularly because it is entertaining .
So yes.. i'm saying all these because i feel that what i'm going to post later is very very bo liao because i am in a bo liao mood.
Firstly.. A short review of a skincare product !!
Presenting..
Lancome's lip-treatment . I just got it a couple of days ago because my lips are prone to getting chapped nowadays and i don't know why. It promises "visibly plumping effects" on your lips so
let's see just how "plumped" up my lips are !
Just a little pearl drop of the "elixir".. Angelina jolie-esque lips.. HERE I COME !
Okay so my lips are about 2cm BEFORE applying it ( ignore the moustache please )
There was little tingling sensation as i grinded my lips against each other and then for the next 20 mins or so it felt pretty numb.
The results ?
It was still 2cm after measuring it and okay to be fair it did look alittle more cushiony ( alluring ? *retches* ) but maybe i'm just tryin to justify my purchase. Aethestics aside , my lips felt dewy and more moisturised and it stayed that way until i washed my face hours later.
Overall , a pretty good buy but har , for that price i could buy like 5 generic lip balms.
Secondly.. My skincare regime !
I used to swear by Biotherm's products but it was time for a change because i believe that one should not stick to the same products for such a long time because you will soon be immune to its effects. Maybe thats complete bullshit but it works for me lah. So now i've switched to Dior . My skincare regime's just a simple 2-step system consisting of cleansing and moisturising because i find that toning doesn't work for me.
The smelliest perfume i've ever got ! It came with the Dior package . Too musky for me.
The sibeh ah-lian looking pouch that will never get to see the the outside world. Too gaudy for me to bring out !
Got this Fancl product eons ago ( i think its a freebie ) ... Only to leave it aside and to forget about its existence. Out of sight , out of mind ! And no , its not for washing laundry , my dear male readers. It received pretty rave reviews from MakeUpAlley so i'm gonna try it soon.
And then i decided to clear out my drawer and not surprisingly it contained a stash of forgotten stuff just like my wardrobe. From used tissues to expired makeup/skincare samples.
How the hell did all these end up in my drawer ?!
Eyeshadows , all bloody new and untouched. I have a soft spot for eyeshadows though i NEVER use them. I was very pissed with i saw that brand new Shu Uemera brush because i don't have a proper blusher brush ever since i lost my faithful Body Shop brush a month ago. Damnnn.
Okay , enough of makeup already.
The two most important people in my life ! Grandpa and Grandma Tan. Grandma Tan has a scowl on her face because she hates getting snapped in her dishevelled i-just-cooked-dinner state.
My grandpa damn cute right ? He's like a pint sized asian version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame , except that he looks much friendlier.
Super nauseating touristy pic ! Don't know why but i have a penchant to pose as a tourist complete with touristy poses whenever there are touristy elements in sight.
A very disgruntled Kian in a gay pose.
A trip down Haji lane with Kian to pay homage to the legendary Comme Des Garcons store. I have no idea that the store was so.. "Zen" . Very make-shift but oi , dunch play play hor. Within those wooden walls are zee high-end fashion !
Arab street's really a nice place , only if the weather isn't so punishing.
Today i met up with Mel and Ian because Mel is going back to camp after two days of freedom ! This is the latest trend in fashion , the country-girl-meets-military look. Right.
The circumference of Mel's field pack ( or whatever you call it ) is twice my waist. WOAH.
The neighbourhood socialite on her way to a charity gala decked out in her high-end designer togs . She is the new Paris Hilton. And of course , how can a socialite forget the pose du-jour !?
And that concludes my utterly bo liao post. =D
