White Berries

Hola! Just a quick update![backdated]

My current earring (on right side)! Its super rad hehe, got it from cine ;) Love the gold hue, diamante and peace symbol! Oh and the dangly chain which is kind of the main point heh.

#OOTD

Threadtheory Ila Embroidery Top in White

WAR Geometric Skirt in White

H&M Heels in White

Decided to go full on minimalist white for the day, loved the clean cut sleek silhouette that day:) White really is one of my fav colours haha, at least 60% of my wardrobe is made of white, as compared to alot of my friends who have mostly black clothing haha. Oh, black takes up the least percentage(~3% only!!) in my wardrobe cos i think black doesn't flatter me as well as lighter colours.

Anyways review for the Geometric Skirt!

[ So, this geometric overlap design is super popular recently, i've seen it in super alot of blogshops like lovebonito, Aforarcade etcetc, but most of the designs are shorts/skorts. So i'm glad WAR launched this cos i'm def a skirts kinda person!:) Oh and at a friendly price of less than 25 if i remember correctly. Material is slightly rough polyester, not inner lined but the material isn't too thin, probably very slightly sheer though. The cutting is pretty good, but its abit too big for me at the waist area, which happened to be solved when i tucked in my top. Love the chic geometric design, im a convert now! Overall a good buy, i think this would make a very versatile piece that won't rly go out of date:)

Recent lunch/tea dates with seah:) We both have math & GP lessons on Sundays (horrible ikr) and its like 2 hours each with a 2 hour break in between. So during the break we go for some comfort food heh. Bakerzin is our fav go to these few days!

Strawberry Shortcake

Classic Hot Chocolate

Bakerzin's price is slightly on the high side, and the first cake i tried (strawberry shortcake) kinda disappointed me cos there wasn't anything special about it and the strawberries were sour. Not their fault though cos i mean who can determine if the strawberries are sweet or sour. But they have other superb cakes (will mention below heh).

& my fortnightly trip to Salon Vim;

got some products to bring home for daily maintenance. Joyce recommended this redken set, apparently it sells super fast and this was the last one so i guess i was lucky! It comes with a shampoo, conditioner and after wash hair spray.

& i got a scalp shampoo as well cos Joyce says its good to alternate between the 2 types of shampoo:)

So far i've used the products for about 2 weeks already and its pretty good! The conditioner works exceptionally well imo:) But im lazy to use it everyday haha.

Dropped by etude house again to get the clear cleansing water since my bioderma one is almost finished! This product cleanses without the need to rinse off, great for lazy people like me :x

& then on another week me and seah went back to give their other stuff a try! We ordered this strawberry/raspberry cheesecake and omg it was S O  G O O D. This is a MUST TRY kay!! After devouring one we ordered one more cos its really awesome hehe. #seahandchee'sfatsundays

The base is super yums and at the side they add some crumbly thingy which is super good as well! Personally i really really dislike cheesecake but this one is an exception, this shows how good it is right!!

Mushroom soup, kinda mediocre

Mushroom Cream Pasta; loved this dish as well! Pasta can never go wrong hehe. Esp penne! :>

We don't care about unglamness when eating hahahah. On a side note bakerzin has really nice interior deco as well ^^

After a trip to the salon heh. Hair in much better condition!

& tadah! Here's our first ever formal class photo!! 

13S74 <3

My classmates are all such cuties:) Eugene looks like a hamster hahah, and garreth just looks like... bruno mars LOL. Ali looks too cute here!!

Our first failed shot hahaha cos kimmy got tickled by cheryl! (bottom right side)

& then... here's what we do in math lectures... (okay not all the time but similar LOL)

Generally about half the class is sleeping.. on better day 40%? Though i tink our record was like 70% lol. S74ftw

& other silly stuff we do in school hahaha. 

Here's yy in a box doing idk what XD

We spammed polaroids for charity!! All polaroid proceeds go to charity so we thought, why not?:)

& this.. was the unfateful day ren yi pingz brought a pink bag to school -_-

& this is her gleefully asking me to take a pic cos she spotted some guy carrying a pink bag as well... she claims that she's totally setting the new trend LOLOL

& here i am all bored in avt, tired from studying.

But okay its a friday so tgif!!

Mint Poka

Haven't done a BTS for photoshoots in awhile! So here's from the latest one:)

We decided to check out turf club @Bukit timah for some locations to shoot, since its very near my house!

Exploring Pasarbella Market early in the morning.

 Pasar bella really is a very unique place, do visit it if you have the chance! Its like woah when we walked in we immediately felt like we were in another country 0.0 First Japan as we strolled through the seafood section with sushi bars and japanese street signs, then USA as we saw Charly T's and all the steaks. Thats not all of cos there's still like little little shops on its own, alot of nice patisserie shops, flower shops, balloon shops, organic food stalls, european food etc. It is pretty amazing.

 After exploring Pasarbella we stopped by Artisan Sweets for a snack! The interior deco and stuff is really nice and bright:) & Thank You Artisan Sweets for graciously allowing us to shoot a few outfits there, much appreciated:)

Of course we ordered some food as well, the desserts were too tempting!

Rose Macaron

Chocolate Hazelnut Macaron

Vanilla Bean Macaron (My fav + Bestseller)

 Black Sesame Cheesecake

 Unglam photos... only to be shown here -_-

 Went outdoors to shoot my fav flowy maxis and dip hem pieces! Going for the enchanted forest feel!

Here i am climbing up the hill arduously in 4 inch heels, thank god they were comfy enough to walk stably in.

 Swishing my rose prop around to chase away the sandflies lolol!

 Silly shots! The camera is propped against my shoe btw so its like errrr....

 Oh and this friendly angmoh photobombed us while we were shooting lol!! He was like, " I wanna be part of the fashion shoot, -jumps in-" LOL

 Shoot ended early cos we were tired and hungry @.@

Lunch at Vegan Burger! No meat alternative to normal burgers, their patties are soy and mushroom based~~

And so more unglam shots...

 The lighting here was so good we took... a whole lot of photos :x

 Food arrived! & we were still taking photos :x

 "You want my fries?"

.

.

.

Noo its all mine >)

Well its quite hard to make the burger look nice.. but its actually not bad la! Its considered healthier but doesn't taste horrible unlike some kinds of healthy food. Oh and the fries are commendable!

Couz still taking pics but im too busy eating to care :x

Some LOTD pics before i headed out in the morning!

(sorry i just had to start off with a goofy one!)

 & these are taken with cam, so quality is better! Less blurred than iphone

 annoying wispy hair won't cooperate -_-

Used a brown theme for eye makeup this time round. I tried using the methods Michelle Phan taught at the Lancome workshop haha. 

First attempt at gradient eyes!

I used Urban Decay's Naked Palette and Basics Palette. Basically just mix around different shades of brown and use shading techniques to achieve a more defined look:)

 After the shoot we went home for a much needed nap/rest then headed out again to vivo for dinner with my aunt and grandma! The specially came to spore for some chinese concert thingy :O

 OTD:

Shopskinned Daisy Mesh Dress in Cream

Review: Bought this when SS had 20% off, so everything was pretty worth it:) I bought a few items and this has got to be my fav one! I love the whimsical feel! And the daisies imprinted on the mesh is uber cute:) Length is quite okay for me, sizing wise i would say its abit big for me esp at the waist, but still acceptable:) Prob will fit up to uk8! It has inner lining as well so its non scratchy due to the mesh. A very dainty and wearable dress imo! Its those throw on and go kind, minimal accessorizing needed and it still looks good. :)

Me and couz had a great time shopping, we haven't spent quality time tgt since idk when!

Stopped by MNG cos I spotted this super pretty floral dress and cardigan, whats new right.

 MNG paired these 2 items tgt on display as well, i approve! Its so jappy hehe.

 Yups so in the endi just got the cardigan cos the cable knit design was nice + the length is good too. I liked the prints on the floral dress but the cutting wasn't very flattering imo.

 Not sure if you guys can tell but im on a korean craze now, couz also. Cos we realised that korean products are generally pretty good and the prices are very reasonable as well, as compared to other foreign brands. My current fav korean shop is etude house of cos:) 

Loots from etude house:

Dear Girls Be Clear Pact (finishing pact, can be used to set the whole look/ mid day blotting)

 Can I just say that etude house has the nicest packaging ever???

 Nice lady at the counter gave me free gifts hehe.

Goodbye Pore Ever 

(Used to minimize the look of pores, gives a more refined texture and smoother skin.)

Dear Girls Cute Eyes Maker (LOL at the name seriously hahaha)

They have this in 2 versions, the stick version(the one i bought) and the essence version, which is more moisturizing and for drier skin. The stick version is better for combination skin types.

 This is a newly launched product (as i type this la not when this is published, which may be months down the road :x)

Its used to create the aegyo sal type of watery eyes which is erm, a trend in korea now?..

I thought its quite interesting so yups, decided to try this.

 Step 1 features a brown shadow which is used to create the puffy eye design under the eyes. Its like, normal people hate eye bags right, but this is specially used to create something like that, and apparently it really is the rage now.

 Step 2 is a beige-y white colour used to apply above the brown section, which salvages the damage ( i feel la) that the brown shade brings and sets the aegyo sal look. This is a really important step (and the more crucial one). Yups, after i try out the product i'll do a pictorial review and demonstration :)

 Line Nuance Duo

(Got this in shade 01 Honey Beige, which has a white liner for the inner eyes and a champagne gold eyeshadow colour for the lids)

 Swatch:

 The products are really reasonably priced, i tink the duo liner was less than 10, plus they give alot of freebies and samples to try. @.@

& i went food shopping with seah on sunday. Really need some happy food to like stay alive during lectures and stuff.
Wonka Sluggle Gummies X Smint X Hichew X superyummyoutofthisworld matcha biscuits

Milk Caramel Sweets imported from Hokkaido! Got these from Pasarbella at a shockingly good price of 2.3 per box. I mean its imported, you'd expect it to be like 4 bucks per box!

& becos im easily amused... here's a comparison of chongsin and my smint. He got the traveller version lor super good! Its like some limited edition giant smint!!

kay end of long post.

goodbye!
