1 X Good One (Haul, Hair, Video)

Decided to sacrifice some sleeping time to update a little here!

2 Big news!!

1. I'm back from Sydney and spent money on makeup again! YAY!!

I got the Bobbi Brown Foundation & Concealer from Duty Free in Changi Airport before my flight and I really really love them both! I hardly/never touch my MAC ones anymore! 

The liquid foundation is pretty sheer but gives a nice glow upon application and blending into the skin.

The cream concealer (right) comes with a pressed powder (left) to set it. THIS BABY CONCEALS MY BAD EYEBAGS! So yes, hardly anything really does so two thumbs up! NEVER leaving the house without it EVER!!

I got 2 Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on pencils in Woodstock (Superhot pink!) & Perversion (Jet Black) from Sephora ION in Singapore.

Swatches as seen below and I really like them both! 

Lastly I got Ardell's Heated lash Curler from A random cosmetic shop in Market City in Sydney. I got it for a pretty good deal of AU$15? They need 2 AAA Batteries to operate. Very easy to use and really curls my lashes and it stays that way the whole day! Down-side of it is that it take about 1 min to heat up! 

2nd Big News is that I bleached my hair! yay!! 

Here's my original Brown Hair (BORINGGGGGGGGG)

   

Here is the Chemicals that killed my hair:

After experiencing an itchy scalp, prickly sensations and a slight headache...

TAHDA!!

I present to you a Golden Monkey 

Yes, Andrea bleached her hair but felt like she could not face the would thus she hid her hair under her make-shift hat using her jacket!

 Some shots from Andrea's cam:

SO, THE PLAN was to stay home for 24 hours in hiding with golden/orange AH LIAN hair BUT, 

I found guest at home upon arrival home and that I had to attend my grandfather's 81st birthday lunch celebration with my AH LIAN HAIR! Plan FAIL much! 

Thus, my whole family saw my 1 day of orange/gross hair and I am so thankful my grandparent's did not have a heart attack. :)  yay!

I went back to the salon after my lunch to bleach my hair another 2 times and dyed it a light color to get rid of the yellowish-ness.

This is the final result!

Who's the blondie now? hahaha. Its quite a bit of maintenance but having been blonde for 3 days. I don't think its that bad. Just tonnes of special shampoo, scalp treatment, hair mask and hair serum application.

Honestly I do scare myself when I see my reflection sometimes. Usually its when I walk past a dark window/glass at night, macham hantu siol. (Seeing a ghost) But majority of the time, I feel like a japanese/korean person.

Got a few compliments today and I'm happy with that :)

Love it or hate it, its something I feel I should do before I loose my freedom to strict nursing uniform codes again!

Maybelline Magnum UltraComb Mascara

Hey,

So the other day, Watson’s was having a crazy sale for their 24th anniversary or something like that so I went during lunch and picked up a couple of things. But mostly, i'll be reviewing the Maybelline mascara with the ridiculously long name.. like seriously.





I was also quite happy with the Boujour Touche Healthy Mix conclealer which is specifically for dark circles. I like the texture which was really smooth, slightly shear, doesn’t crease and the colour is kinda peachy toned. I’m wearing it in the photo below with the mascara.



So to the Maybelline Magnum Volum'Express UltraComb Waterproof Mascara

"Exquisitely curved to fit Asian eyelids, this neat little package delivers defined and sleek lashes with just one wiggle, effectively grabbing every lash from root to tip as it deposits a perfect amount of product with just one coat, voluming each lash by seven times with its unique collagen-filled fluid." [TODAYonline]

I’m comparing this to my current favourite drugstore mascara which is the Maybelline Volum’Express Cat Eyes waterproof. Why do they all have to have such bloody long names?

Anyway, I really like the comb of that one which is why is decided to try this.
This comb is really flexible which makes sure that you have to be gentle with your lashes. And as u can see, it doesn’t pick up a ton of product for each dip so you won’t make a huge mess on your eyelids. You might have to re-dip and use a couple more coats but it will prevent clumping.

Comparatively, it’s less volumising than the Cat Eyes but it also isn’t as hard and ‘crispy’ on the lashes, so it’s more comfortable to wear. Its less messy so I don’t have to be as careful with my application. And I think it’s also slightly easier to remove.



So below (on the left), I curled my lashes and applied 2 coats on the bottom and top lashes. I also lightly applied the Boujour Touche Healthy Mix conclealer under my eye. My eyes have been quite irritated and red the whole day.



Then (on the right) I removed all of it with a cotton square and the Bifesta Eye Makeup Remover. I didn’t wash my face at all before taking the photo.

Colour me impressed, I really like the Bifesta Eye Makeup Remover.

Usually, there’s residue left behind at the base of my lashes, but there was absolutely nothing there. A few days later I used it to remove some really heavy and it worked just as well. If this remover work on me, it'll work on anybody..
 I just need to press the soaked cotton square against my eyelid, let it do it’s thang for abit, then wipe the rest off. Awesome..

My eyes are kinda sensitive, and this remover was really gentle and  didn’t make my eyes any redder than it was.
