Whats in your travel makeup bag?

Since Batam is not quite a big city, i didn't need my standard makeup bag. So here's what is in my little travel kit!

I got the Puma wristlet from my brother as a gift sometime back, it's quite small and i got the idea from my mum who is using hers as a makeup bag. (She's got the black version and my sister has the hot pink) But amazingly, i managed to squeeze all those items into it! :D Here's a list of what's in it:

  • ZA 2 way compact
  • Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette
  • Mac Brow Pencil in Lingering
  • Sleek Blush Pan Tao ( avoir la peche collection)
  • Revlon Custom Eyes in Party Pops
  • Covergirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara
  • Jelly Belly lip balm
  • NARS Super Orgasm LipGloss
  • Laval Liquid Liner

 

Normally i use my Chanel compact but i since it was somewhere near, and i had heaps of product left, I brought my ZA one along. (I've used ZA's compact for years! I love that it has worked great with my skin, i've tried MAC but just made my skin oilier. :( Then decided to give the Chanel one a try since i've heard how amazing it is)

I absolutely LOVE Sleek's Pan Tao blush. When i first got it through Cherub's Lips spree, i thought, i'm never gonna be ble to pull this shade off! It comes out quite strong, as do all Sleek's products. Trick is to use very little product and buff into your cheeks!  I've been using it ever day since! Yes, i'm that crazy about it. :D

Another item i didn't think i would actually like was Revlon's Custom Eyes in Party Pops. Firstly, they're not really 'my' kinda colours. But i thought they're so nice and bright, so summer! (I bought this a while back!) So what the heck, lets just get it, it was $15 from Crimson Rose. Colour payoff is not bad, but after seeing Temptalia's review and swatches of the Rich Temptations palette, i think i might just get that one too! :p

Now onto my 'i-couldn't-live-without-it' items. :) I follow Fleur De Force on youtube. So when she started raving about how she loves this concealer palette, I HAD TO GET IT TOO! I must say, its FANTASTIC! I don't have crazy dark circles but it does help me hide all my blemishes/ red spots etc amazingly! I especially love the greenish neutralizer. It's heaven sent i swear!

Fleur also mentioned together with Tanya Burr about how they've been loving Nars' Super Orgasm LipGloss which is a lovely peachy pink with gold glitter! OMG! It's beautiful! I bought mine back in June when i honestly feel, i couldn't live without it. Though, if you're not crazy about glitter, then i don't think this is for you. :) Supposedly, it's a limited edition but it is still in their website as well as in Nordstrom/Beauty.com etc. If you love shimmery lips, go try this! Its GORGEOUS!


Pretty isn't it? :D Well, till next time then!

(hmm...i should totally do "What's in your diaper bag" for all my mummy friends too! Coming up soon!)

A baby brewing, again?!

I can't thank the people who have followed my blog from the get-go for all your words of encouragement and love. Thank you for pushing me to write again. It warms my heart to hear when my readers tell me they enjoyed reading my journey and somehow felt like they were right there with me too. Big love to you all.  Here i am sitting down and staring at the screen. I feel rusty. I haven't done this in a while. My last post was, well ages ago! But - hello! Seeing as i set up this baby blog of mine some 6 years ago, i felt it is only right that i continue writing in it seeing as, as most of you would know by now, i am baking baby number 2 in the oven! I'm in the last leg of my pregnancy now. I'd call it the 'uncomfortable' stage.  Where you feel like a whale,  your legs are sore,  your body's aching and the baby is kicking like there's no tomorrow.  But,  kicking is good.  Kick away baby,  so momma knows you're growing well.  So let's ...

New Paper New Face 2011

Hey! Today, i bring you news about this year's New Face competition! :) For those of you who don't live here in Singapore, the New Face competition is one of the biggest modeling competitions held here. It had unearthed beauties from all walks of life and many of whom has made quite a name for themselves in the industry. It has helped so many girls shine and achieve their goals, and i am glad to say, i made it to Top 20 last year and have graduated to the very prestigious alumni of New Face girls. :) Every year since i joined the modeling industry, i entered a competition, to better myself and gain confidence. I remember i started off with Singtel Grid Girls back in 2008 and not having much confidence at all. But the New Face competition was something i had wanted to join since the age of 15. It took me another 2 years, to build up that confidence to go to the walk-in auditions and i am glad i did. (Spot me if you can!) It has been such an amazing experience for me, i learned s...

Baby Recipe: Chicken & Carrot Porridge [Plus Storage Solutions]

This is probably one of Kiara's favourite dishes and i believe many asian kids too! It's easy peasy to make and tastes delish! What you'll need: Minced Chicken Diced Carrots Rice (Brown Rice if you want the healthier choice) Bovril (optional) Garlic (optional) Chicken Stock (optional)   For all the items that i stated as optional, it's really up to you which you would prefer. Some would rather skip bovril & garlic and just use chicken stock, where as some would do the opposite. So that part is really up to you how you would like your baby's food to be. I personally have used all 3 methods and Kiara likes them all the same. Step 1 : Add rice and carrots into a pot of boiling water (or boiling chicken stock). You can add  finely chopped garlic if you would prefer to add more flavour to the dish. I let this simmer in for about 15/20 minutes till the carrots are relatively softer. Plus rice takes a while to cook too! Once done, add in your minced chicken which cooks...
