    NYX Auto Eyebrow Pencil: Cheap And Good Alternative To MAC Eyebrow Pencil

    Before I got started on writing this NYX Automatic Eyebrow Pencil review, I went to read the MAC Automatic Eyebrow Pencil review written 11 months ago. I love reading old posts, they make me realize how much I’ve grown, how my writing style has improved, photography skills have progressed, and …

    It’s a good thing to put hope in things you've never tried before. When I’ve been lied to many times by eyeliners that promise to be long lasting, pigmented, easy to apply and turn out anything but, along came a little miracle product that makes me want to believe that the world of liquid …

Juicy Couture Spring/Summer Collection 2013 | Singapore Social Concert 2013

May 23rd, 2013 by Bun Bun

Juicy-Couture-Singapore-New-Launch-cover-2

Before I spam you share with you see the rest of our fabulously taken photos at the Juicy Coutur Spring/Summer 2013 launch, let me first tell you how excited I am about The Singapore Social Concert by Starcount that’s happening TOMORROW!

The-Singapore-Social-Concerts-Starcount-2013-The-Meadows-Gardens-By-The-Bay

I don’t listen to English songs that much but I do know CeeLo sings ‘Forget You’ (and its alternative rendition), Carly Rae Jepsen sings ‘Call Me Maybe’, and PSY… who doesn’t know PSY, please!! Pardon me if you’re a fan of Blush, but I really don’t know who they are. Woops. (Tuning in to Chinese songs on the radio while typing out this post. Funny how my brain is able to listen to Chinese while I think and type in English. Lol.)

I chose to go for the 24 May concert which showcases these stars because the 25 May one only has Aerosmith and… I don’t think I’ll enjoy it much if I can only recognize ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’ for the entire night. You still can get tickets here!

Thank you Nuffnang and Starcount for the tickets! It’s in 22 hours!!! WOOOOHOOO!!!! I’ll take plenty of pictures, I promise! =D

Okie! So before I come home tomorrow night and tell you how awesome that concert was, here are crazy pictures of us taken at the Juicy Couture Spring/Summer Collection 2013!

The (extremely subtle) theme was ‘modern pin-up’ and themed parties fuel me endlessly. ‘Pin-up’ in my impression was simply a beautiful woman with red lipstick.

Just to make sure, I Googled it.

pinup-meaning-definition

I was mortified. WHAT SEXY SYMBOL!!??! Hello, not my style! Lol!!! I told the girls this style is all wrong for me.

But one must not complain about the theme and must do one’s best to adhere to it. So I went with a simple eye makeup, thick eyeliner (like I always sport anyway), and a red lipstick. Oh, and I stuck a flower in my hair. *cue Paso Doble Spanish Gypsy music*

My Mascara Soul Mate: Lioele Blooming Volume & Curling Mascara

May 18th, 2013 by Bun Bun

Lioele-Volume-Curling-Mascara-Review-Photos-Makeup-Look_cover

We may have been in a relationship with several people in our lives, but truly loved only one or two. That one being in the entire universe who gets all your lame jokes, humors you, plays with you, laughs and cries with you and thinks of your socially awkward  nuances as special.

Finding the perfect mascara is like meeting your soul mate. I may have gone through more tubes of mascaras than I have of fingers and toes, but have truly only loved two.

BAHAHAHAHA!!! What’s with all these analogies about soul mates and whatnots! Feeling particularly emotive on this cheery Saturday morning coz it’s Mode day! =P *whistles a happy song*

One of the two was the Lancome Oscillation Mascara, and the other, the subject of review for today – Lioele Volume & Curling Mascara.

How then, does one conclude that a particular mascara is destiny?

LOL! Okie okie, I’ll stop with all these cliched but nonetheless romantic finding-your-soul-mate talk.

Lioele-Volume-Curling-Mascara-Review-Photos-Makeup-Look_5

Hello, soul mate.

Lioele-Volume-Curling-Mascara-Review-Photos-Makeup-Look_4

If I had to choose between eyeshadow and mascara, I’d take mascara anytime. Mascara opens up your peepers, darkens your lashes, and depending on type, does marvellous things such as volumizing, lengthening, curling, lash-separation and the confidence to flirt your eyes out.

How Does The Monistat Chafing Relief Gel Face Primer Perform After One Year?

May 16th, 2013 by Bun Bun

Yup, this little tube of goodness lasted me one whole year and it cost me less than a haircut.

Nothing has changed one bit, the Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel is still my favorite face primer applied after moisturizer and before foundation, except the fact that it looks very much different from when I got it a year ago. The old one dries a lot faster on the skin too.

This extremely affordable primer is a must-have if you have oily skin and want to prevent makeup from sliding off your skin by afternoon. Make sure that your skin is not allergic to silicon though. I prefer the formula of the Monistat face primer over other popular face primers.

Teal-Turquoise Hair | 30% Off Hair Services at Salon Vim | Samsung Fashion Steps Out | CrabTree & Evelyn Somerset Meadow

May 12th, 2013 by Bun Bun

Salon-Vim-6-Teal-Turquoise_cover

When people ask me “Isn’t it damaging to change your hair color on a monthly basis??”, I smile and reply “Yes, if you don’t treat your hair after a dye/bleach job. But my hair now is SO MUCH healthier than it has ever been, all because of regular hair treatments”.

Salon-Vim-6-Teal-Turquoise_Bleached

(I wonder if blonde works for me.)

Had to bleach it to allow the green/blue pigments to go on. I know bleaching sounds scary, I used to be fervently against the idea of bleaching because I’ve seen one too many cases of a botched bleach job. The idea of walking around with twigs as hair scared me endless.

 

6_With Wand_120Just so you know: On one of the occasions I was at Salon Vim, Gary told me that hair, even without any chemical infusion, requires occasional treatments to combat the damage acquired from products and environmental factors, and bring back shine and volume. So if you’ve dyed your hair, shouldn’t your hair be given even more tender loving care? :D

 

 

I was the first blogger to try out the Arimino Privy treatment (just happened to be there the morning after they launched it) and my stylist, Weng, was shocked that my hair instantly became so soft! Everyone who came to touch me hair commented that this new hair treatment is AMAZING!

Salon-Vim-6-Teal-Turquoise_results

You know what? For the entire month of May 2013, Salon Vim is giving a discount of 30% off all hair treatments! It’s a FANTASTIC deal, I must say. The Arimino Privy hair treatment costs $90-$160, depending on hair length, BEFORE DISCOUNT. What better time than now to give your hair some lovin’?

Oh, remember to quote ‘Juli‘ or ‘Bun Bun Makeup Tips‘ to get the 30%. Everyone at the salon calls me Bun Bun. Haha! I like to be called Bun Bun, it somehow sounds very endearing.
