What was she thinking?

I came across this picture surfing the internet this weekend.  She’s Joey Yung (a Hong Kong superstar).  What’s up with those glasses??!!  They’re probably the most hideous frames I’ve ever seen! Blah! They don’t do justice with her face either because the attention just goes to the thick frames. Errr… I’m not to fond of the pattern of her sweater either.  The first thing that popped up in my mind seeing that was ‘blood’.  Maybe it’s just me watching too much CSI. haha I love that show!

What do you guys think about her look?

Another Food Porn Post + Some Ramblings…

I’ll start off with my drink… haha (Cosmopoliton) mmm…

Now… lots and lots of food pictures…. hahaha I Love taking pix of food.  I don’t know why.  But I always do it when I go eat out. =]  I’m a bit jumpy and hyper right now because I had too much dessert.  Seeing some highschool friends that I haven’t seen in like forever totally made my day!  We had some great laughs.  We were actually really loud. hehe  I actually felt out of place when we were taking some pictures because I was so tall compared to everyone else lol.  I was wearing my silver stilletos… hehe me love me stilletos…

 

My lasagna… mmm This plate was freaken GIGANTO!  I couldn’t finish the whole thing, and the bf had a few bites too!… This was what I couldn’t stuff in anymore…  I was soo soo full!  This dish is more like a 2 person meal!

The bf’s four cheese chicken.  I don’t even know what it’s called.  The chicken… delicious… =]  I kind of stole a piece off of him hehehe

The service we got from them was very GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.  Yes… I gotta describe it as GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!  We were at West50.  It’s part of a chain of restaurant that is ranked way up there.  So… you’d expect the service to be exceptional… but… ummm…………… NO!

We got kicked out… at 9pm because they had made another reservation in that room.  The other party in the same room also got kicked out.  And what’s so vexing about it is the way they handled it.  First of all… big parties… I don’t think they should have reserved parties back to back at the same tables!  One of our friends came late… she ordered her food, and when it came… the waitress told us we had 15 minutes left. WHAT?! We also asked for the dessert menu and it took them 15 minutes to get us the menu… and when the menus finally came… we had like 10 minutes left… so what’s the point?  A few minutes later… the waitress asked if we wanted to order dessert to go… um??? no??? One of my friends was so funny.  She said, “What? Does she expect us to eat our dessert in the car while we drive?” Ok… my point is… if they were going to kick us out… at least come tell us maybe half an hour in advance and give us the dessert menu quicker! And instead of making us pack up our food… maybe actually tell us that we have to be out by 9pm, and asked if we still wanted to order… That would have been nice!

But whatever… crappy service means no going back… less business for them.  We decided to head to Boston Pizza for dessert.  That’s where we got really loud and laughed non stop for maybe half an hour!  I had my workout of the day.  I was in tears from hard laughter!  The dessert was delicious!  We actually ordered 4/5 desserts from the menu and just decided to share it amongst ourselves.  Awesome idea! I love the idea of being able to have a little bit of everything and trying everything out LOL

This was some Lemon cake thingy.  I forgot what it’s called.  But I’m loving the swirls as decor on the side.  It looks too pretty to eat.

 

Chocolate brownie, with vanilla ice-cream.  Ok I can care less about the ice cream… but who doesn’t love a soft, gooey, chocolatie warm brownie melting in their mouth?? Drooling yet? hahaha

Apple crumble… This one was probably my favourite of the four!  I think it’s because I love apples!  mmmm I want some more! hahaha

New York cheesecake… more swirls! Pretty =]

Feeling Creative + MAC Studio Sculpt

I’m going to a friend’s birthday party today.  I felt a bit creative with her gift. It’s nothing special, but it’s the thought that counts right?  I went ‘candy’ shopping at T&T hehe.  I bought a bunch of stuff, and decided to put together a goody bag for her along with her actual gift.  =]  So… at the candy aisle… I find hello kitty candy! How cute!

 

Ok… I got a little excited and opened the bag before remembering to take  photo of it! LOL  Anyway… I find that little hello kitty box thing inside! So cool! It can stand up hehe.  I was inspired by cupcakes… actually I was craving some sweets… as alwasy… haha…  instead of buying a birthday card… I came up with this:

 

I needed to use a glue gun to get the cupcake ‘cups’ to stick hehe.  Making this was a great break from studying =]

My look for dinner… I used MAC’s Studio Sculpt today.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!  I can’t get over how FLAWLESS my face looks!! I used MAC 109 brush to apply it. =].  The weather’s lovely today.  Nice and sunny… and NOT hot, with a nice breeze.  My favourite!  I love how my skin is ‘pale’ right now.  The MAC MA matched me with NC25.  So… my NC35 stuff will have to wait until summer again haha.

 

 

I was waiting for the boyfriend to come out.  So camera whoring in the car.  Hahaha

Products I used:

Eyes: MAC – Hush, Sketch, Fluidline (Blacktrack) ;  Majolica Majorca mascara

Face: MAC Studio Sculpt, NARS Luster, MAC Petticoat

Lips: MAC Florabundance & Love Nectar Lipglass

BB Cream Review #2: Derma Rx (Skin79)

“SPF15.  It’s a make-up, a skin therapy and an effective function of the sunscreen in one.”

“Whitening.  It also has special skin care properties which is soothing, brightening. all with good, even coverage.”

“derma rx Bablesh Balm is certified the functions of Sun protection and whitening.  It is made with highly effective formula protects against harmful environments.  Nano-coenzymeQ10 prevents free radical activities.  Derma Rx Beblesh Balm provides excellently concealing any types of pigmentation or discoloration area on face including acne, couperose, vitiligo, age spots, sun spots and dark cirles.  It provides coverage without clogging skin pores.  It also has special skin care properties which is soothing, brightening (contains arbutin), antimicrobial properties for acne, redness, irritated skin and helps return to normal skin functions.”

Wow! One of the best BB Creams I’ve tried!! It does EVERYTHING it says it’ll do.  It also feels VERY light weight.  I don’t even feel like there’s anything on my face!! I can still feel like my skin can breath through this! Now, I don’t expect too much from BB Creams in terms of covering up pimples.  But this BB Cream did a pretty good job.  It definately made my spots less noticable.

My skin on the right… definately looks brighter.  My skin… even.  Me love. =]

What I’m most impressed with with this BB Cream is it’s staying power.  It lasts ALL day.  Oil control?  My skin didn’t even get slightly oily by the end of the day!  The only thing about Derma Rx is that it is a bit drying, most likely because of the oil control ability of it.  My skin right now is normal, and only gets slightly oily by the end of the day, and i did notice dryer patches on my skin.  So… this one, I’m saving for the summer when my skin gets all disgusting. Blah! 

For those with dry/normal skin, I don’t really recommend this to you guys.  Oily skin ladies?… Give this product a go! I give this a two thumbs up!!!!

 

The finished look with Derma Rx =]

A quick update about my Lash Stiletto… I don’t like it… =[…  I’m going to give it another try next week before I do a review on it… but I’m not liking it …  I really wanted to love it because everyone else does.  But it just doesn’t like me!

A ‘Cookingful’ Weekend

Hehehe… I probably ‘cooked’ more this weekend than I would in a month!  Cooking is usually done for me, or I just look in the fridge and eat whatever is in the fridge. I’m such an inactive person, it’s so bad!  I stopped going for runs maybe last summer, and decided to start again this weekend.  Man… I died out there after two blocks haha.  I ended up walking most of the way.  I feel so unfit haha… So… when I came back from my run… I always want to eat! Mmmm food… haha

The boyfriend’s parents went out for lunch, and we decided to stay back to run… well I did, and I make him come along with me hehe… so… missing lunch meant I would have to make something to eat because he doesn’t cook.  All he knows how to make is instant noodles… grrrr… I just took whatever I found in the fridge and stir fried it all together with some Udon, and made little pork buns…

Sushi roll making….

Ok… short post plus this is non beauty related! But you all know I LOVE my food.  This is the first time I’ve tried making sushi rolls.  I used the wrong seaweed paper too, so my rolls didn’t come out nice =[…

Ok… it looks all nice here… and then after I cut it… it looks disasterous because the seaweed paper kept breaking. haha.  I used the ready to eat ones rather than the flat sheet ones without any oil.  =[

I shall play again next time… hehehe  I don’t eat raw fish, so the boyfriend ate the ones with the raw salmon in it hehe
