Coming your way soon (:

Birthday @ MBS

Am lovin' this cute skinny belt from TOPSHOP (:

Sorry i disappeared. Was trying to cope at work and the renovation works going on at home wasnt really helping. But, its finally over hehe!

I can "move on" with my life and perhaps launch a new collection next month. Dying to do some scrapping too.

And here are some snippets of my birthday at MBS last month:
Very happy with the clubroom and food (:

Hope that doesnt ever end..

Taken with my trusty Canon 40D and Tamron 17-50mm lens (:

Lao Ban

Picture stolen from woman.
The Lao Ban craze.
It is worth the traveling, queuing and perspiration.

Lovin' the pleat design, and the fact that its tight fitting (:
ASOS rock my socks!

Outfit of the day (was companying my sis for her wedding shoot):
Topshop scallop shorts, Topshop knitted cardigan, F21 basic cami, thrifted belt, MK watch.

Mango sale.
Super tempted to get this dress..but $59 for a cotton dress seemed a little too much..im hoping they will reduce the price further because this XXS piece fitted my body like a glove! Perfect for work (:

VS loot arrived. More undies :D
I think i have about 30 new undies & 10 new bras in my wardrobe..scary!!
How many of you are guilty of over-indulging in lingerie?

Mac Icons

Took me half a morning to clean up my desktop as well as update some mac icons.

There are tons of mac icons (iconfactory etc) available in the market if you google. But my favourite one is this: http://pixelgirlpresents.com

You may need Candybar to change some tho. Have fun! :b

Make Up Store

Went for the course with Faith and got myself these 2 products because i think it'll serve me best in my daily makeup routine:


1) Quick Fix
A silicon emulsion formula that instantly removes all signs of aging. Works as a pre-makeup face primer that hydrates, smoothes and treats the skin while enhancing the look and wear of makeup. Contains an exclusive peptide complex that is clinically proven to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The Quick Fix formula is enriched with a light-diffusing action to help create ultra soft, smooth and radiant looking skin. Clove, sandalwood and sage complex with antioxidant and calming properties.


Shanice's opinion: good investment because it can double up as a 'blending mixture' with my correctors and loose powders.

2) Wonder Kit
Make Up Store was the first makeup brand to launch mineral products. With mineral makeup you get 100 % pure makeup without preservatives and binding agents. The minerals work nurturing, calming and are anti inflammatory. The minerals also protect your skin from damaging sun rays. Other properties of the makeup concern its actual application, you decide whether you prefer more coverage or a soft and light base. Even though it looks like a powder it provides a flawless base filled with luster that minimizes fine lines.

Key ingredients

• With Wonder Kit you get everything you need for a perfect base. The mineral products suit even the most sensitive skin type. The Kabuki brush is especially designed for the application of mineral powder. And the smaller brush Foundation Brush allows you to apply the mineral powder to narrow areas where you prefer a more covering base. You can also blend your mineral powder with Skin Serum; the result is a creamy and nurturing foundation. Wonder Kit comes in four different nuances: Sinai, Sahara, Gobi, and Namib. If you choose a mineral powder that is lighter than your own skin tone the powder works perfectly as a highlighter. Highlight is a technique that brings out facial parts and benefits. If you choose a darker nuance you can use the powder as shading and eye-shadow. Shading is a technique that enhances your natural facial shades and structures but also tones down facial parts.
• Kit contains:
• 4x wonder powder in different nuances
• 1 Kabuki brush
• 1 Foundation brush

Shanice's opinion: good investment because it is the ultimate all-in-one.

I needed to reinforce my techniques and get some burning questions answered.
Engaging course with the makeup artist. Elise was patient, friendly and wittily funny.
Burnt a hole in my pocket, but lets just say, it shall be worth it (:

How i tried to resist shopping

I set a rule for myself.
If i want new clothes, i have to sell my unworn or old clothes.

I tell myself i can do without the additions.
Afterall, my clothing look almost similar.
Slight change in cutting or material or prints..but they look about the same.

At the rate im going, i'll never be satisfied.
Material wants, args. Darn hard to fight my vanity.

The open concept clothe rack looks nice right!

--

Most likely i'll be launching on Wednesday night.
Need model to give me a day for shoot.
Adeline has agreed to model for me because Michelle is overseas at the moment :(

Bet you all miss her pwetty face heh heh :b

Skirts, dinner dresses, cardigans, sweet frocks coming up. Stay tune!
