art deco eyeshadow base

this is somewhat connected to my previous post..

my only problem with the skin food eye glimmer stick is that my face is super oily.. so by noon, there's creasing already.. and by late afternoon, the shadow has melted.. and i'm left with faint shimmer just above my eyeliner..

so i decided to try out art deco eyeshadow base..



as i put it on for the first time, i'm already loving it coz of the nice smell.. :p

now for the stress test: i put it on at 8am.. then i use my glimmer stick.. at 3pm, my lids still looks the same as in the morning! this is despite my t-zone being super oily already.. at 9pm, shadow is somewhat less.. but most still intact and the color is still vibrant..

so the verdict: this product is a very good buy. :D

these shadows on a stick make on the go makeup a breeze.. application is so easy.. just roll on your lids.. then just build on as you desire..

now i can put both eyeshadow and eyeliner while in the car.. more time for sleep.. yay! :)

they're pretty and shimmery.. they make my droopy asian eyes seem bigger and more alive.. :p

i'm such a fan, i'm collecting all colors. .:p while what they have right now are all nice shades, i do wish they come up with more colors.. :p

multiply find: fab manila

fab is the right word.. as their bags are really fabulous.. :)

functional and stylish.. how can i resist?

i already bought the ff:


these two bags are great for everyday and office bags.. the capacity is big enough for pack rats like me..

and there are compartments for keys, phone, and other small items that you need easy reach of..


for weekends and gimik nights, these hobos look small.. but are still able to pack the essentials (of pack rats again) that you can't squeeze in normal clutch bags..


and if you feel you may need more storage space later on in the day.. you can bring these shopper bags..

they are foldable and come with sleeves for easy storage.. also great for summer outings..


and these travel envelopes are sooo pretty.. and lightweight too! the length is just enough for your tickets and other travel documents..

really.. all their items are pretty.. and come in many fabrics to suit your style.. and reasonably priced as well..

modelco lashwand


my lashes, aside from being very thin.. are also super straight.. after using traditional eyelash curlers, my lashes would go back to being straight in an hour..

using modelco's lashwand on the other hand, my lashes are curled nicely, and stay so all day.. longest time i've had mascara on so far is 16hours.. and my lashes stayed curled the whole time..

the tool is easy to use and doesn't burn my lids.. a very good buy, if i do say so myself.. :)

my only regret? it now comes in pink! :(

scholl party feet gel cushions

unfortunately for me, i have very small feet.. aside from the fact that i have difficulty finding my size, i can't really do very high heels as my feet would then be so slanted already.. normally my limit is 7cm..

but as i browse through the charles & keith outlet.. a really nice wedge tie-up sandals caught my eye.. and it's only SGD19! the drawback though is that the height is 9.5cm..

as i tried the pair on, it's not very comfy for my size 34 feet.. but i thought to myself.. i'll just wear it on occasions where i don't have to walk much..

so i bought the pair.. wore it to office.. and i bore the pain on the balls of my feet from my room to my car.. and again from car to office..

but luckily for me, i brought along a pair of scholl party feet gel cushions..


and boy do they work! instantly the pain is gone.. and i happily walked tall all day.. :p

i actually also have the sore spots variant.. which i wear with peep toes and prevent the sides of my feet from aching and blistering..


i'll try the heels shields and slingback strips next. :)

         
scholl has just increased my shoe-buying range.. oh no! (oh yes! hahaha :p)
