Dior Mise en Dior for Pinball

This is SO COOL.


Go have a look at Christian Diors' latest. You can figure out where the lipsticks are, if you look really closely.

(note: I saw this from temptalia's website so I thought to share with all of you!

Purple stars- gradient polish

I think you will love this. Purple and sparkle, I am using the blotting method for a light to dark polish. Bubzbeauty is the original creator but I used purple.

First- use base coat, pinkish. Then use the purple. You can use any colour, blue, green, dark grey will be nice.

Christian Dior perfume

I recently came back from Bangkok, tickets were like S$200 (include tax) and I wanted to get away from work ...... Anyways, I arrived midnight 12.30am and DFS perfumerie was "winking" to me.

I popped in, walk 1 round- came out with this. I am beside excitement!! My fave perfume in minis and includes the latest additions, Miss Dior Cherie Blooming bouquet and L'eau.

CD website says:
A sensual blend of Italian mandarin, Egyptian jasmine, and patchouli truly captures the dazzling Dior spirit in a modern, fruity-floral fragrance.

Real sweet tones that I like and lasts really well. Perfume tones depends on your skin, and your level of physical activity.

Price-S$60 (real good price)

(I bought this and it was not sent to me for review)

Deborah Lippmann Glitters and Festives

I chanced upon a blogger saying how nice the deb polish is and it seems the Red Ruby Slippers is "the one" that every polish-lurver must have.

In Singapore, it is difficult to buy cult brands even if we are a booming fashion hub. So, like everyone else, I went online to eBay and got it.

Topshop makeup

Hey, anyone been buying topshop polishes?

I bought it sometime back but no opportunity to test all the items. What you are scrolling down is only a few colours that I have done, to test the consistency and opaqueness.

Wow - one word.

Price- S$25 for 4 colours

Location- Topshop at Singapore Knightsbridge (opposite paragon)

Have you ever wondered why you need "another polish" or "another eyeshadow"?

Opi pirates of the carribean

I am a fan of Johnny depp, from his movies to his latest whims. Recently I saw news of Opi having a collection tribute to his movie Pirates of the carribean.

Here it is- Sparrow me the drama

I paired with another colour, more fun, bright. This aqua green is by Couleurs. Store bought from John Little here in Singapore.

Tare panda and hello kitty

I don't knowif there's age limit for these cute designs but I am loving it!

Yes, me. A woman of age 30ish.

You can check this out via YouTube - this girl called cutepolish. Credit goes to her.

(disclaimer- no animals have been harmed in this nail art demostration)

Makeup palettes

Real nice ones!

I had an impulse months ago after watching YouTube. These are the man beauties factory ones.

There's coastal sands too if you are overseas. Www.coastalsands.com

Delivery for Singaporean will be a problem as coastal Sands charges about US$20 and up.

I bought- blusher 28 palette and warm eyeshadow 88 palette.
Pigmentation is great, which means real good payoffs

Tuxedo Nails

It was a nice evening and I was trying the YouTube for ideas. Relatively easy, have a try, I bet you could do silver for a more glam-up look!!

Titled as tuxedo nails- armed with various colours that I had, I gave a go.

Original artist- I don't know, but you can find quite a bit via YouTube.

Colours: pink, white, black and red
(ignore my pinky, that's not part of this design)

Happy painting!!

Rock & Republic

My fingers were a little trigger happy and I found a website that sells some brands at a discount. Can't remember now, will post later when found.

Price: £20 (discount of 50%)
Color: nude pink

Payless shoes

Who can predict, Payless will arrive in Singapore?

My 3 Pairs: purple (Christian Siriano), dark blue (Rose)

Last one: silver nude platform wedge
(just bought this 2 days back. )

Price: range of $24.90 and up

Location: Suntec city, level 2

Real comfy, you can probably run in these shoes, well done shoes with stylish designs. In Singapore, lots of shoes are becoming expensive and poorly made. Hmm, Payless will be giving them a run for their money.
