NOTD, Origins GinZing, Green and Gold EOTD

Wow, what a shock to see all the lovely and super sweet comments on my last post. I don't usually get so many comments for posts without pictures. LOL. But thank you all very very much from the bottom of my heart!

Let me just start off with some NOTDs I did before and for Christmas 2011.

Been out of ideas for a while now. Decided to use my latest Konad stamp and just stamp some snowflakes on them and call it a day. Unfortunately since I didn't use the Konad nail polish; I used Elianto's white instead after painting the top coat on, the white became very light and can barely be seen. Oh well.

For Christmas, I was inspired by my colleague's nails and decided to imitate hers. She got hers done in a salon and el cheapo me can't pay RM150 for manicure so...

Stuck a snowflake sticker on it cause I can't draw snowflakes to save my life

I watched some YouTube video online and noticed how most of them seem to have dry and wrinkled eyelids. It was obviously because it was zoomed in but I must admit that it really scare me so off I go to look for an eye cream. After my last Olay Total Effect which was to be No Effect, I switched to Origins Ginzing.

Origins Ginzing states to visibly diminish dark circles, bags and puffiness around the eyes. Sounds superb to me. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and will let you know. According to Elisa, you don't know how well an eye cream works till you finish the bottle. *gulp* sounds like a bloody long time to me. Review will not be so soon. For as of now, no effect yet.

As I get older, I tend to stay home for most of the festive occasions. Mostly because I'm in no mood to jostle elbows with a sea of rowdy strangers and because of the traffic jam. The traffic in Penang has been horrendous with plenty of people from outstation all coming home for the festive seasons jamming every nook and corner.

Every eating outlet (good or bad) is totally packed with people queuing for food. There are absolutely no parking spaces anywhere. It's frustrating to even go out and get stuck behind stupid drivers who can't seem to make up their mind where they want to go. Penang is a small island, we don't have four lane roads, at best, we have two. So imagine. UGH!

Enough rant, here's what Pinky Doodle Doo got me for Christmas

Whee, a total of 9 tubes of Crabtree and Evelyn hand creams. I love them cause I can put them in my handbag and carry them everywhere. I tend to use hand creams after washing my hands so you can imagine how fast I can finish one.

also

MAC lipglosses. She knew I love MAC so she headed over, pondered between a red lipstick or these and got these instead. Thank you Pinky Doodle DOO! I Love Yoooo!

and also

Blooming Tea. It's been on the market for some time now. You get some withered ball of something, add hot water and watch as the flower blooms in your tea pot. The flower didn't look anything amazing like a real flower but it tasted pretty darn good.

Tasted like a flowery English Breakfast

Lazy Ash's EOTD of the month

Gold and Green

Started - as usual with my office make up. Apply some eye shadow base, then applied Kryolan Satin Powder in Gold all over lids, then using MAC's eye shadow from Intriguing Scarlet: 6 Warm Eyes in Warm Heat on the middle lids.

Apply Grand Entrance on the out V and a little below the eyes. Add eyeliner and falsies and you're done, Yay!

A close up

To me, no matter how badly your eye make up looks, when you add on a nice pair of false eyelashes, everything automatically looks better. As long as the other person stands a few feet away of course :P

If you're wondering why I tend to take just half of my face, its probably because I only did one half; I screw up the other half or;

I need a really good eye cream for my right eye...
