It was actually pretty boring, we spent most of the time waiting for acts and running around looking for certain lost guy friends who disappeared looking for cai the whole night. Ahem. It was just really crowded and sweaty and gross and sandy in general. Won’t be going back next year! Haha best part of the night was leaving to go eat cockles and lala at newton, but we had to walk for an hour to find a cab!

Thank goodness we didn’t pay for the tickets, my uncle managed to get us 6 free priority tickets. I’d be pretty pissed off if I’d paid good money for them!

Sheila and JY’s 6th Anniversary

JY booked a hotel room at The Sentosa, and Joe, Jackson, Janine, Sean and I headed there with him earlier to check in, and when he left to go pick Sheila up, we decorated the room with 99 lightsticks! Damn beautiful, right?

SUPPLIEEESSS!

2 21-inch pizzas from Peperoni’s

For some reason we started jumping on the bed!

Got quite drunk and headed to butter and got even more drunk.

Please prepare yourself for a series of gag-inducing pouty photos

Awww so cute

There has been too much Zouk in my life. Haha I’ll always be a Butter girl. It’s homeground! :)

Haven’t updated in a pretty long while, so I’m just gonna spam random pictures of good times since I’ve been back in Singas!

First time at Filter – it’s a club opened this year by my friends Phil, Langan and Cedric and operates on an invite-only basis.

Gets pretty crowded and hectic!

Sheila and Geck Geck! <3

Joe cut off his long shaggy hair! It took Von 2 whole hours, and by the time he was done there were 2 dustpans full of hair on the floor!

Hated my makeup that day!!!

Sheila and I modelled for a Rosebullet event at Isetan and some Shu Uemura makeup artists did our makeup but they kinda sucked. Our eye makeup was really uneven and they pasted our falsies really badly. We tried to salvage it after the event but it still looks weird!

Anyway if you haven’t heard of Rosebullet it’s a really popular brand in Japan with super hot Japanese model Lena Fujii as their campaign face. Website here -> Rosebullet

BOOBEH

I went to Bali with my family earlier as well, it was mad fun! Love the food there, we found this magical Japanese restaurant that was REALLY GOOD and really cheap.

Had so much fun spending time with my family, they are seriously awesome <3

This is the hotel we stayed in, Padma resort.

Yup, that’s the Hollyhoque 3/4 maxi in grey! (:

I just came back from watching the Rocky Horror Show with Joe at the Esplanade! He bought the tickets as part of my Christmas present, but kept it a secret that our friends, another couple, Tiff and Daryl were coming along as well! I was so surprised when they sat down next to us! :D Turns out the boys went to buy the tickets together for Tiff’s and my Christmas present! So cute <3

We all went for roast duck pizza at Timbre after cause Joe and I felt like eating some white people food after overdosing on rice and noodles for 11 days, those are seriously damn good. There is nothing like the satisfaction of a full belly! (:

The show was quite disappointing though, some ideas were really cool and worked very well, and the music and singing were fabulous, set design was pretty good too but the acting was very very weak and it just ruined the whole production. I think the actors were more of just singers and it was really obvious that it needed a lot more work. But overall it was a fun performance and I enjoyed myself!

Off to bed now, goodnight folks! (:

So busy packing all my stuff yesterday and today! I have to move everything out of my room and into my new apartment as well as pack for Singapore and Japan! We bought new luggages yesterday but I still don’t think I can fit everything in! And I have to squeeze in my winter clothes for Japan! OMG.

Can’t wait to come back tomorrow and see my family and friends!!!!! (:

A few weeks ago it was my birthday, and Tiff and Cayla brought me out for dinner at Zushi! It’s a really cool Japanese restaurant with really really good sashimi, and the tuna tataki was perfect as well. Loved it.

My birthday nails!

They got me a mint and chocolate ice cream giant cupcake! It was sooooo sweet. AND A SINGING CANDLE HAHA.

 

Thanks girls for the lovely night out! <3

I only got one present this year, besides Sheila’s super early ones. Thanks Cayla! <33 Kinda bummed I didn’t get any other presents though. I remember a certain conversation about reciprocated birthday presents. Isn’t it annoying when you go through the trouble of getting people nice, uncheap presents for their birthdays and they don’t get you anything for yours? Wouldn’t you feel bad if someone got you something nice for your birthday but you didn’t get anything for them?

I’m hungry and grumpy now. Hate how I have no means of transport to go where I want when I want, and at least get food for myself that isn’t easy mac or instant noodles.

WordPress is giving me problems! Everytime I want to update it screws up my font size and spacing and I have to go in and edit the HTML for each post. So annoying! I seriously want to change host. Perhaps I will start blogging on my onsugar account too.

Anyways, stay tuned for my update about my second birthday dinner! (:

Laters!

Nic

Anyway. Just some luvos with Cayla we took ages ago.

See my earring? Haha Sheila sent me those for my second birthday present! Cute right? :)

I mentioned in an earlier post that I ordered two items from Love and Bravery, a pair of shoes and a chiffon dress. They arrived at my address in Singapore, and I asked my mom to open the package to have a look at the items (since I share shoes and clothes with her) and told me that she found TWO TEARS in the dress, one at the shoulder strap area and one very big one near the armhole.

I emailed Love and Bravery twice, once on Friday and once on Saturday. It’s Monday and I still haven’t got a reply from them. I know for a fact that it’s not because they don’t work on weekends or whatever because I had actually placed an order for two more items with them a few days back, and they emailed me the invoice for payments on Saturday.

Such a shame because I really like their clothes and their model is really pretty (pleasant-looking model is very important for me in an online shop). This is my second time purchasing from a blog shop (I ordered clothes from Lucyd Acyd before – LOVE.) and I’m seriously disappointed with them. To think that they even stated in the item description that it was made of “high quality chiffon”.

I hope they reply my email eventually. I will delete/update this post if they do.

Hey guys.. This is what you have been waiting for!

Graftobian HD Glamour Creme Foundation

Many of you have heard me raving about this High-Definition foundation. I think it’s a great foundation and it has caused quite a stir in the makeup artist community. I’m not afraid to say I can’t live without it!

First of all, this is a solid cream foundation, and its texture is very smooth, buttery and blendable. It has medium to high buildable coverage, but you only need the tiniest bit to blend over your face to even out skin tone and give a glow. Using too much will definitely cause it to get all melty in the hot Singapore weather!

There are two ways to use this product, you could use a good foundation brush to dab on different parts of the face and then spread and blend it out, going over problem areas again. The second way (recommended by professionals) is to use a damp makeup sponge to apply it, and this would give a sheer even look.

Always set it with a good translucent loose powder that is preferably oil-absorbing because of our gross hot weather which causes skin to get shiny easily. You can find loose powder anywhere, the ones that most good brands sell are fine. (The one I use isn’t available in Singapore, if you’d like me to bring it in for you just leave a comment and I’ll get back to you with more details.)

My skin is combination/oily and it’s fine for me, but if your skin is EXTREMELY oily I don’t recommend this for you since it’s not a matte foundation.

The product doesn’t come in fancy packaging, just a very basic dish, but who cares as long as it’s a good product. Also it looks really small, but there’s actually 14 g of product in it, while most foundations from MAC and stuff only contain 8 to 10 g.

This is a video of my favourite makeup artist talking about it:

A chart of the shades for this foundation is available here:

http://www.graftobian.com/image/Products/574/photo

If you are Chinese, you are most probably yellow-toned and you should look at the “warm” shades. As a reference, I am light-medium, NC 25 and I use Vixen. A rough guide would be:

NC 20 – Ingenue
NC 25 – Vixen
NC 30 – Temptress/Buttermilk
NC 35 – Enchantress

Please don’t ask me what shade you are because I really wouldn’t know! You can try looking for swatches online to find out.

Aside from single shades, I’ll also be bringing in palettes of 5 shades (11 g) containing Graceful Swan, Ingenue, Vixen, Temptress and Enchantress, as well as a corrector palette (see below):

The 5-shade palette is good if you are not sure of your shade, or for those of you who are quite skilful at makeup, you can use this for contouring.

These aren’t concealers, it’s the same texture as the foundation, just in corrective shades. Dab on problem areas! I’ll be getting one of these. Don’t get it if you’re not sure how to use.

If you are not ready to try a creme foundation, compact powder foundations are also available. These would be suitable for very oily skin. I have not tried these, but from what I hear they are highly pigmented and silky. They can be used either dry or wet with the provided sponge. Feel free to search for more information online.
