Singapore Haul!

My cosmetics shopping was restricted to brands exclusive to Singapore, and I'd like to think it was quite a success. The blogger babes were a big help, always telling me "don't buy here la, buy in Hong Kong!" Thanks for the restricted enabling ladies! You know who you are <3

Sephora loot:
Bath time buddies from Soap & Glory. Spy that BREAKFAST SCRUB? It smells like pancakes drizzled with maple syrup. OMGee, truly a feast for the olfactory senses. Im not kidding! One sniff and I was sold. The bulkiness didn't stop me from putting it into my basket.

Sephora Waterproof Jumbo Eye Pencils, a DiorSnow BB cream sample and fresh SUGAR Lip Treatment in  Honey.

Watson's
I got the matomage Utena Hair Styling Stick for my stubborn stray hair (I read that the Green colored packaging is for those with long and thick hair) and a DHC Platinum White foundation base in beige,  highly recommended by blogger pal Elaine

Magazines from Kinokuniya:
purchased Voce & ViVi with member discount. Thanks Lynn! ^_^ 
GLA was given to me by sweet Stellar when we met up in Kuala Lumpur.

The Make Up Store
This is my first encounter with the Swedish brand, their simple black look sends off a very professional feel both in the store all the way to the packaging, which is comparable to Makeup Forever. I got a fresh and vibrant smelling perfume and 2 holo polishes which I am so excited to swatch for the lovelies!

Changi T3
spotted the L'Oreal Infaillibles (SGD 14.30) on 30% discount, took advantage of the offer and grabbed all the remaining shades! I was told that these have sold out as of writing. *lucky G*

also managed to get the prettiest looking YSL travel palette, Stellar enabled made me try hers back in KL and I really liked the color and texture of the lipstick. I can't get over the patent fuchsia packaging, it looks and feels luxurious, it can pass as an über chic iPhone case!

I'm slowly picking up my pace with blogging, and definitely getting my groove back... hope you enjoyed this post, thanks for reading!

Singapore: Blogger Meetups and Love Packs!

Oh gosh, where to start? Hello everyone! Remember me? I know, its been exactly one month since my last post, as I said, my real life (work & family) has taken over, leaving me without time for blogging. But last week I went on a holiday trip to Singapore and planned some meet-ups with the sweetest bloggers residing in the Lion City. :)

at Sentosa with the Merlion replica :P

blogger babes closing down Ngee Ann City Sephora! so much fun shopping with these ladies. :D

with the lovely Elaine aka misselainnio. <3

with cutie Cynthia aka slowbrogal. <3

I received so many gifts that I didn't feel the urge to shop, especially for sheet masks because they gave me a pretty vast selection! But haul fiends need not to worry, I still bought some interesting bits to show you later. Right now I just want to thank Lynn, Elaine, Cynthia, Joolyn, Luna and Jolyn for the wonderful time! Until our next shopping and dining rendezvous!

What is Sweet Apricot?
☛ a juicysoft fruitresembling a small peach, of an orange-yellow color. 
☛ one of the few, new shades of my favorite bubble dye. 
☛ My new hair color... Ch-check it out!



This is my previous hair color, Mocha Orange. The dark roots were annoying me,
 not a pretty sight. ><

foam on hair *squishy*

after waiting for 30 minutes and a shower...
Hello there evenly colored, vibrant hair! Please stay for long?

I know it looks almost the same shade as Mocha Orange, but in person, its a tad darker especially indoors. Please excuse me while I obsess about my dark eyebrows. I need a salon fix stat! >.<

For a more detailed post + instructions, please view my first DIY hair dye post here.

Thanks for looking!
