Half Blue and Teal Ombrè [Rhetorical's Makeover Winner]

Make Up Forever Academy- Final Exam

The topic for my final exam was Bridal makeup. Got my friend Ros to be my model and as you can see from the photos we had quite a lot of fun joking about while everyone is was being stressed with the exam. Oh and I made that hair piece from a lace appliqué and a comb, yay for DIY!

So now, i'm officially a Makeup Artist!

When my trainer presented me my cert, she said some nice stuff about me and ended off with 'colour runs in your blood' and that was probably one of the best compliments ever, apart from the time that Ros said 'Andrea can make god happen on your face'.

Andrea with Bridal Nails? Whatt???

My bridal-esque nails from Dia Bella. It was my turn to try out the bling this month.

I was inspired by a few different photos that i saw on tumblr last year. That's actually my natural nails, i've never been able to grow them so long because they usually break and chip but with the gel polishes that Dia Bella did for me the previous round, i managed to grow them out. One thing i actually would like to note is that my previous plaid nails only chipped after a month and when they were soaked off, the gel came off quite easily and didnt leave ny nails gross and damaged (unlike previous experiences i've had with other nail places)

We also painted the underside of my nails cause they're always stained by all the hair and clothes dyeing that i do.

Check out Marie's diamond nails with the owl accent! How gorgeous and adorable are they right??? 

(I recommended her that combination btw haha)

LOVE ITTTTT!

Eyelash Extension from De Perfect Beauty

When i was dyeing Marie's friend's hair i noticed that she has really gorgeous eyelashes but it wasnt falsies. She recommended this place, De Perfect Beauty. So i decided to try it out, why not right?
My friend Jessica was really interested in it so she went along with me.



Overall i really liked the result with the eyelash extensions.
But because my eyelids are really sensitive, especially so when i've just removed my eyeliner, it was quite an itchy 1 and a half hrs.

Update 2 weeks later:
It was quite strange that night when i took out my contact lenses, cause the extensions were so long that it brushed against my spectacle lenses whenever i blinked. Hilarious.
Removing makeup with cotton buds is not the most convenient thing, especially when you wear as much eyeshadow as i do.

I am not the most gentle and careful of girls so i dont really expect mine to last more than 1 month. A few stands here and there have dropped out already. If i does drop in your eye, it feels the same as a normal eyelash.

FAQ:

-Do I wash my hair with warm or cold water?

Its recommended to wash with cold/cool water, but I don't like it so I use warm water.

- Do I go to the Salon for treatments?

I only went once, it was good but I feel that the same effect can be achieved at a cheaper cost with my home hair care.

- Do you style your hair with heat?

Yes, occasionally, however I use heat protective products prior to applying heat on my hair.

- Do you plan to go back to normal hair colours?

Maybe! Depends on my mood.

- Are you afraid you'd go bald from all the bleaching and chemicals?

Yes I'm so scared, thus I avoid belching my roots so frequently and trying to take the best care of my hair as possible.

- What salon do you go to to bleach your hair?

I go to Braddell Hair Salon which is owned by my friend's mom. Its located right outside Braddell MRT station. (Sorry I don't have the address do drop me a comment if you want it) Been going there for years.

About 9 months. 

- Who dyes your hair?

Andrea does! Using Manic Panic & Special Effects Hair dye.

Rhetorical

Ombre Hair dye

Probably not wedding appropriate make up..

I was playing around with my NEW Mac products (haul video comin' up soon), NEW Sugarpill Firefly individual lashes and my Urban Decay shadow pencils before i was going to a wedding.
The wedding was at this place called The China Club and it was a gorgeous, very modern chinese-themed restaurant on the 52nd floor of Capitol Tower. The view was breathtaking..
I think everyone thought i was the entertainment though.. not a relative.

I am my hair.

Hey guys,

In all honesty, I get random strangers coming up to me and talking about my hair at least thrice a week. I'm from Singapore and i guess it's not particularly common?

On my way to work, on the bus, at the train station, in the toilet, while shopping, in the club, in elevators,  while eating.. you name it..

And at least half the people are middle-aged and they have the most enthralled look on their faces. The young people are usually just like, 'hey, cool hair'.

Whereas the older people would even strike up a conversation from the next table, while i'm eating.. What? Haha 

So the most recent funny story would be about this middle aged guy in the elevator. 

It was in the morning at my office building, and i got in the elevator and usually i have sunglasses on and headphones in, cause i don't like facing the world before noon. 

So this blue-collar man in his late 50s, gets in after me and he goes like (in singlish):

Man: 'Wa! Your hair so nice, how much you pay?'

Me: 'Oh, i did it myself.'

Man: 'Wa! Not bad ah.'

Me: 'Thanks, it's sort of a hobbie.'

Man: 'You learn from book ah?'

Me: 'No, from internet.'

Man: 'Ohhh..'

Me: 'Yea haha.'

*awkward silence for the next few floors till he gets off*

Another one:

I'm walking out for lunch with my friend and there's this lady and her friend walking from the opposite direction towards us. And as she passes me, she pops her head out, in front of mine and says with the most amazed look on her face: 'Wow i love you hair!'.

I'm like half stunned and half laughing, saying 'Thanksss' 

So here, some gratuitous hair shots.. Enjoy!
