I'm very honored to be given a sponsored makeover for my hair last week with...

THE COMB

I'm full of excitement and waiting for my appointment date to come! I always have the habit to just stick to my regular stylist as I'm so damned afraid it will all gone wrong. All thanks to their very updated instagram account that made me more confident to leave my hair makeover to their hands.

Let's see how my hair transformed!!

My hair before makeover......

hmmmm... it had been awhile since I gone back for trimming and touching up. Please don't judge..=( Friends always jealous of my thick hair, but I just don't like it because I felt like a poodle! T_____T

And it all get started!! 

First up.... HAIR COLOURING!!!

Its a bloody red tone which the stylist recommended to suit my hair conditions then. Need to colour my new black hair grown lah... and in order not to see obvious difference of my coloured and non coloured hair lah... blah blah blah... And I just leave it to the stylist. =P

In progress.... and it took about 2 hrs for colouring.....

... not to worry if you are bored! With their wonderful service, get indulged sipping cuppa TWG tea with a latest magazine to past your time!

Very quickly, the stylist designed a new hair style with his coolest scissor skills that got me excited I forgot to take pictures... Haha.. =P So let the pictures do the talking!! LOL...

[SPONSORED POST] Nails of the week

Hi lovelies~ It's my first sponsored nail week!! So happy, I do not have to DO IT MYSELF for this week!
                                            
Because I'm invited to a classic manicure and pedicure treatment by ...................

Asolutely nails is a sister brand of Feet Haven Reflexology, and is located at 136 East Coast Road.

I was welcomed by their friendly manicurist to a ARMCHAIR and it's really comfy.. smooth, jazzy music were also on repeats while I indulged myself in their services.

My Manicurist (Shit I forgot her name  =￣ω￣= ) , started off with a pedicure while I began choosing my desired colours from their wide range of colours!!

FYI, they carries Butter London and Ciaté... nail polishes too!  

Make a guess what colours will I choose?

I've been to other places for classic pedi. But Absolutely Nails is definitely the first who will go extra mile on exfoliating for my feet! *comfy to the max*

And also a oil massage!

Before it began......

And....

TADA!!!  Swee boh?

Very quickly she did my nails!

She's very nice,  because she will advise me on ways to protect my nails!  Just so thoughtful, as compared to other Manicurist I went before, they normally just hurriedly do their part and it ends. To me, manicures and pedicures should be pampering, and Absolutely Nails do have this important point.

Firstly, I was late for my appointment due to a heavy traffic,  they still waited for me despite I'm their last customer.  And what's more?  They definitely still made me feel pampered with their services! It's late, and I do felt bad about it, yet they did not hurriedly finish the job ~ The colours are also very pretty!!  I really love it..  

You girls should try too!!  Make an appointment with them now!

[Sponsored Post] Beauty Destination by L'Oreal Paris Singapore - Katniss Everdeen inspired look.

Hey lovelies! How are you guys doing?

I am still struggling with my new job, trying to adapt as soon as possible. So yeah, that's my excuse for not updating. BUT ANYWAY..... that's not the point for today's post. My point is, I'm back again for my 3rd L'Oreal Paris Singapore, topic of the month!

This month's topic is to re-create Katniss Everdeen look from The Hunger Games, Catching Fire. Right at the perfect timing, you can consider creating this look for the coming Halloween! Trust me, its actually quite easy to create! Especially with the 1st MARKER PEN LINER, SUPERLINER BLACKBUSTER!!

CREDIT: http://catchingfiremovie.org/

Lots of good stuff to be shared today and nuff said, here is my step by step to create my version of Katniss Everdeen look~  ^___^v

1] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Infaillible - 002 Hourglass Beige
Apply all over your eyelids right under your brows.

2] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Quad eyeshadow - S4 Tropical Tutu / Col 3 (green)
Layer over and blend with the beige, covering half of your lids.

3] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Quad eyeshadow - E1 Beige Trench / Col 1 (grey)
Blend the grey gradually from your lash line upwards.

4] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Quad eyeshadow - E5 Velours Noir / Col 1 (darkest grey / black)
Blend in from the outer corners of your eyelids creating a sharp "C" shape.

5] Line your inner corners of the waterline white.

6] Using L'Oreal Paris SUPERLINER BLACKBUSTER
Create a sleek dark line on your lash line and "wing" up. The more exaggerating it is, the better it is for Halloween. Also create a sleek line covering about 1/3 of your bottom outer lash line.

I love how the marker pen liner glides smoothly during the application! And look~ curve and neat lines could be created even though I'm not a pro on make-up!! So beginners fret not, this shall be your first eye liner and I'm sure you will love it. Most importantly, ITS SMUDGE PROOF!!! Wheeeeee so no issue if you are out the whole day~ You will not have the "dark circles" after a day out!


7] Stick crystals with your eyelash glue!

8] And don't forget your falsies that has more and longer lash towards the outer lid. This will create a more "wing" out effect!


Lastly, Katniss look emphasis on her eye area therefore light pink cheeks and nude lips would be the best to compliment the heavy eye details~

I'm using L'Oreal Paris Lucent Magique - Blush of light glow palette which will be launched next month. I'm super privileged to be one of the first few to try it out~ And it's soooo awesome! The brush is so smooth and the palette came in 3 pink shades. It just blended very well together when applied.

Plus, its one of the blusher that has a mirror! #convenience

Not forgetting the nude lips to complete the look~

Here, I'm using L'Oreal Paris Heart of Pearls - 602 Chestnut & Chic. You can read more review about this lippie I posted previously HERE.


AND NOW I PRESENT THE FINISH LOOK!!!!

SWEE BO?

I'm actually quite satisfied with my eyeliner because basically, I don't use liquid liner or more like I DO NOT KNOW HOW~ LOL. So when I first tried this Marker pen Liner, I'm so shocked! Because it can create a different thickness of lines, when I thought it's gonna be thick! No fret newbies, it is VERY EASY TO CONTROL!



You should try it out to know what I meant~ and if you are keen:

Superliner Blackbuster is available at $20.90 at Watsons, Guardian, Sasa, selected Super & Hypermarkets and departmental stores.

So, the beauty topic of the month...

Les Petite Dresses for your nails!

ITS ALL ABOUT NAILS!!! *drools*

I don't deny anything about nails are my addiction. It just got me so hyped up and nail art ideas just overflow my mind....

Few weeks ago, I am very privileged to be invited to attend a nails workshop by L'Oreal Paris Singapore. This time, I'm introduced with their new nail range - Color Riche Nail Polish with everlasting shine for UP TO 10 DAYS!!!

Look at those beautiful colours! LOréal Paris has created limitless color, blended to dress your nails with the trendiest colors. Using a colorimeter, Loreal Paris colorist measure the color obtained in each nail polish shade to obtain the perfect nuance.

Look at this, one of the nail art design we learnt during the nails workshop which is fast and easy to create with the Color Riche!

What are the unique points for Color Riche Nail polish?

THE TECHNOLOGY: ‘Built-in Topcoat’

The Color Riche formulas contain film-forming polymers for shine and ‘crystal acrylic’ that functions as built-in topcoat to provide toughness and magnified shine to ensure the purest, truest color that lasts for up to ten days. The pigments in Color Riche are dispersed in ultra-fine particles for unique color intensity. The formulas are combined in a liquid gel base that glides on easily during application and provides even coverage over the entire nail surface. Thanks to this brilliant formulation, it prevents spreading the polish too thinly to avoid the runs and drips of classic nail polish.

Whoa..... that means, you can apply a new set of pretty manicure with shine at a faster time! No doubt , it dries up slightly faster than a normal nail polish too!


THE PATENTED BRUSH: Application made easy and smooth!

The stem specially designed for the product to adhere to the centre of the brush to deliver just the right dose of product. The internal and external capillaries of the bristles serve as reservoir to ensure better nail polish application. Flat and rounded brush, the splayed tufts make application more comfortable and control the flow of the nail polish so that each stroke applies an even layer all over the nail.

When I first use the Color Riche, my first impression just goes:

" OMG!!! Its so smooth and easy to apply!! I never ever apply such a neat and smooth polish without cleaning~ Love it to the max..." 

Believe it or not, for times where I'm just so lazy to do a proper nail art, I'll just apply the Color Riche! Because its simply so easy to apply and I can have a new set of manicure in just 5 mins~ *flick hair*


Not only did we learnt 2 new easy nail arts during the workshop, we also got a chance to take part in a Insta-nail contest! And you guess what??
