Boots' Luminese lip treatment review, NOTD

As usual, I tend to check out my subscribed blog and updates before updating my own blog. Elyn from SERENDIPITY blogged about buying Mary Kay Time Wise Age Fighting Lip Primer (phew, that's long :)) and how she liked it. I nearly shit my pants on seeing the price tag. It cost a freaking RM105.

That reminded me that the lip primer that I need to be reviewed. I've taken it back from the office just for that reason.

There's a reason why I left it in the office - it sucks so bad. To refresh your memory, I bought it during my last trip to Thailand with the girls (Elisa & Kern). Boots was having a sale and we went crazy. I bought this for only less than RM14. I was attracted to:

a) Anti aging
b) SPF
c) It's a lip treatment!
d) Price, which on the second thought ain't that cheap afterall! Bloody Hell!

I can safely conclude after finishing a good 85% of it that I hate it and I would never repurchase even if the price goes down to RM2. So why was it that I manage to finish 85% of it if I hated it? Cause I could bear throwing away things that has not finish and also I wanted to make super duper double extra sure that it deserved to be loved or hated.

Why I hate it? It feels like Vaseline (which is fine since every lip balm I've came across feels like that anyway) but because it disappears off quickly and I felt as if my lips had felt drier after each use and more wrinkly. It didn't leave my lips feeling soft and supple at all! Anti aging my *toot*! It's probably pro-aging or something. LIES!

A few days ago, was surfing the web when I came across a site selling fake eyelashes and all. I ended ordering a Premier Natural eyelash that I really liked. It looks fantastic and since I needed a new pair, I bought it with the intention of wearing it to the office. At the price of RM8, I figured it's cheaper than me heading to Sasa and getting one. Oh boy, when will I ever learn?

The seller was pretty nice so I'm not here to bash her or anything, it's just that I obviously did not chose the correct lashes. It states Super natural! in bold too, and being a sucker, bought it hook, line and sinker.

Why? Cause it looks like this on me..

Now, don't start on the, 'Oh it's probably because you don't know how to put on falsies'. It seriously look like that no matter how I adjust them. I contemplate trimming the lashes shorter but knowing me, I'll probably screw it up some where.

I think I'll send up scaring my colleagues in the office if they ever saw me wearing this so despite spending the ka-ching, I'm right back in square one.

I didn't glue, I merely put them on for the shot. It says it's self-adhesive. LIES! :P
Hmmmm, my eyebrow looks weird. Must be the angle, It look as if it doesn't have a tail. LOL!

Also, I have to be super careful with the lashes, they are the most fragile eye lash I've ever owned. One wrong bend and the eye lashes are gone, gone, gone!

Ol'e A Spanish Extravaganza

Since JH's parents has gone on a long vacation, me and JH went to the Ol'e A Spanish Extravaganza held at the E&O Hotel on the 27th May in their place. The tickets were for charity and overall it was definitely an interesting night alright.

Since it was a formal dinner and all, I redid my nails the night before in a hurry since I didn't wanted weird blue tip french nails that was chipping. This NOTD took me the longest at 30 freaking minutes, I was about to doze off at the keyboard waiting for the damn thing to dry.

I wanted it to look somewhat lacy but oh well, *shakes head* remind me to use acrylic paint the next time instead. It was a major *toot* to draw on my right hand as well.

The dinner was great, the food were excellent since they got a chef in all the way from Spain. Free flow of champagne, wine and so forth. That's where my trouble started. I was having a slight migraine before dinner and I happily and most greedily gulped down 3 glasses of champagne before dinner even started on an empty stomach. *sigh*

Sad to say, I was sick the entire night and I puked out the entire content of my RM300 dinner. *sniff* How embarrassing. There's only 2 things I'm grateful for now.

1) Jiun will not tell his mom (she bought the tickets for us) *glares at a "certain someone"*
2) And that the tickets cost RM300 per person and not RM500 because in the end, everything ended up in the toilet bowl.

I'm such an embarrassment.

Blue Tip French NOTD, Bottom Blue EOTD

No fancy titles here :P

This has been my NOTD for the past one week, I'm not too sure what to say, the blue colour (which my mom says reminds her of Mind Dynasty porcelain plates) is from Etude House, BL505. The strange thing about it is that how it seems to have a funny reaction when I use my Elianto top coat over it. Some parts of it changes colour so it has a weird mix of dark, medium and the original blue. Sounds nice but it looks a little odd on my toes :P

I lined my eyes with MAC Blue Peep and then added some blue shadow from my 88 colours palette

Since I'm the Queen of Lazies, the following EOTD is to solidify my position. I had the black eyeliner on for the entire day already, starting at 7.30am since I had to go work today (on a Sunday, pity me) the blue was added on later just to see how the entire look will...look.

Stoopid mascara, you can't even see my lashes T.T
Anyway, was too lazy to reshape the blue eye shadow, nearer the corner of my eyes should have been thinner.

I'm guessing that it looks okay but falsies are needed to 'complete' the look. It doesn't look as nice without the lashes on. ARGH! I'm too lazy to apply falsies in the morning and wearing falsies to the office makes me feel silly. Half the people in the office don't even wear make up.

I'm on the prowl for cute stuffs today and I got some to satisfy my need to spend whatever little money I have :P

JH: *reads: Tie me with a wire* Ooo... Kinky
Me: ...

Hmmm, interesting a cord wrapper thingie, I need one for my annoying laptop cable. Bought one pink looking bear one for Pinky Doodle Doo too. I wonder if JH needs one, or Elyn. What else..

Was hoping for a Hello Kitty one but since I can't find it, this will do. Heee~ I've always wanted one. I hate throwing my contact lenses case into my bottomless pit I call my handbag and searching like mad when I need it.

You want GOTH? I give you GOTH!

Was out for dinner with JH when I mentioned it's been some time since my last FOTD and asked what he would like to say. Without hesitant, he reply; GOTH.

'I wanna see a goth Ash'

If I could turn back time, I would have gone back and gave him a smack on the head. Or at least persuade him to choose something with less black. A lot less black.

Everything looks nicer when it's blurry. Just like your vision when you're drunk.

But being silly and delusional (XD) I went home and as soon as my parents went out, sent about the task. I first applied Elianto cream foundation in white. For God's sakes, would anyone even buy white foundation? I mean, WHITE? Oh right me... but only cause I thought it as a highlight base *whines*

How many peed in their pants? Hands up!
Look ma, no brows!

Anyway after making myself deathly pale, I applied my Elianto Fresh Whitening Foundation stick. Apply a few kilograms of that on your face and blend with a wet sponge. Decide you don't like your eyebrows? No problem, use the foundation to cover over it. Still there? Take out your industrial size concealer and get busy!

Apply NYX Black Bean and smear it all around your eyes, come on baby, round round those eyes now, apply black eyeshadow afterwards. If you look like a weird-ish cat-ish panda. Yer on the right track *two thumbs up and winks* Apply falsies. Apply blusher. I used Thrrob from Benefit.

Draw brows in. I mean, not all of us can pull a Whoopi Goldberg right? We need some brows! So draw them thin. We don't really want them but we kinda need them.

To call myself a Goth looking like that is to invite them to beat me up with a broom

Lipstick and ta-daa, hocus pokus, and we're done! After battling and losing to the black eyeliner, clean it all up and smile like you got a million bucks!

Oh wait, I was suppose to be a goth. Goth gotta be serious and angst ( stereotype), DON'T smile. Look like the whole world owes you a million bucks and can't pay you back!

Oh God, to all goths out there, please don't beat my up with a broom. I was just kidding about it all. Really!

Since I really don't look anything remotely like them with the red lipstick and silly grin, I grabbed my nearest eyeliner and lines my lips with them. (I found out I don't own any magenta/blue lipsticks) and then fill them in with NYX Black Bean eyeliner. In my case, I did it clumsily.

Since you requested for it, come 'ere and let me kissy you, JH!! COME TO ME BABEH~!

If you don't know what in hell is that, I don't either
*whistles innocently*


Wig off. Damn it's hot.

So JH, would you like to date me looking like this? When are you going to bring me back to your place to meet your mom?

XD

College Notes

During my entire week off from work due to my fever, sore throat and running nose, all I did was clean. I was feeling too down and too damn ugly to go out so I did nothing but sleep and clean my room. I didn't go out shopping, nothing, nil. I'm so proud of myself.

Imaginary script in my head
Title: NO DIE!

A: Don't go
B: I must
A: Why?
B: I need the toilet

How lame is that? Nyahahahaha!

While cleaning, I came across some of my very old notes from college. My notes were filled with nothing but little cartoons you see in my blog. I found that by drawing, the very long and boring notes were easier to remember so I drew and drew. Throughout my entire lecture, I would occasionally snigger to myself as I drew something to do with the text. Yes yes I was weird, hell, I still am.

My closest friends took double major in Journalism and PR&Marketing while I took Broadcasting so we were separated.

Malaysian History

A class I scored an A- in. Good thing I liked History, always have but sad to say, Malaysian History is *ahem* boring. Remembering the names itself is a feat. *snort* This is just an example but imagine naming your son, Alexander Bernard James Kipling Gucci Channel Louis Hermes Ferragamo III or something. (Sorry, I ran out of names in the middle)

To remember easier...

Hmm, this should be one of the Broadcasting papers or was it Sociology? So this is what my dad paid for me to do in the end. Polish my "drawing" skills... I feel bad for my dad. Bad me! Bad me! *smacks hands*

Doo doo do do doo...

I now have an excuse to be stupid, do you?

Last Saturday as I lay in bed with dizzy spells, agonizing migraine and bed sores, I questioned my own sanity when I decided to extract my 4 wisdom tooth that actually wasn't giving me much problems. Did you cringe when I mentioned wisdom teeth extraction? Everyone I know makes faces at the mention of those. And I really do mean everyone. It all started when...

I made my appointment with the dentist in our Penang General Hospital late April, and on last Thursday I was all Gung-Ho about it as I arrive for my blood test and admission to the hospital. With weaken knees after been 'sucked' 4 vials of blood, I went to bounce around on my ward bed.

I was to be put on General Anesthesia (GA) ie: Being knocked out with gas and was feeling pretty happy about it. Imagine waking up after the procedure is done and not having to go through the pain of them injecting numbing things into your gums and pull out your teeth.

I wish it was that simple. Before everything started, I was given a sleeping pill, pushed into the Operating Theater where I was still as bushy eyed as ever. As the anesthetists put the gas over me and they inserted the IV drip needle to me, I remember whining loudly, 'pain pain pain pa...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ' in less than 3 seconds I was on the choo-choo train to la la land.

Waking up after the GA was the most awful feeling in the world. I couldn't open my eyes when I was told and when I was a little more conscious, realized I couldn't breath. Panic. I was lucky Pinky has warned me about it and as soon as I relaxed, they pulled the tube out from my mouth.

For the rest of the day, my throat was on fire, there was an elephant doing the Cha-Cha, Samba and Rumba on my head, one side of my eyes refusing to stop tearing and I was slowly getting cooked by humidity in the ward. I thank my parents for requesting for my own tabletop fan to stop me from melting into a puddle of nothingness.

If given a chance to do all that again? Thanks but no thanks! Once was enough to last me a lifetime. And I'm still having dizzy spells and fever as souvenirs from the entire ordeal.

Oh, strangely, my face wasn't too badly swollen. In fact, no one noticed it at all. Hee! No chipmunk face to show you guys, sorry!

Oh I wonder if I finally lost some weight after drinking nothing but water the entire day. Now where's the scale...?

Hello Kitty NOTD + misc

I think it's been more or less two years since I first set my eyes on the Hello Kitty nail plate. Of course, being my luck, it's available via ebay and of course, I don't have an ebay account.

I tried many times during the two years to look for it from websites and all but no such luck. Whie surfing someone's website, I saw it again and how I drooled. The spark was still there even after so long. In jest, I sent JH a message saying that I wanted it then went off to do my own stuff, when I came back to my desk, JH sent me a reply that it's been bought and will be shipped by that very day.

I thought I was dreaming. Close to 10 days later, it arrives. Utter and pure happiness! Finally, in my hands, the much dreamt of Hello Kitty nail plate.

I admit I didn't match the colour all too well since I was too excited to try it but since I'll be having a few days away from the office, plenty of time for me to play around with it.

What I had on before the Hello Kitty

Pinky Doodle Doo's bday just pass and just as the year before, I got her eyeshadows.. how creative of me but since Pinky requested for it, who am I to say no. I felt pretty embarrassed that I bought her a cheap Kate eyeshadow but she looked so happy so it should be okay I hope *sweatdrops* Best part, if we spend over RM50 on Kate products, we either get a free loose eye shadow or a lipstick.

Pinky didn't like the lipstick so I got it instead. Yay me! I love their lipsticks, pity it's been discontinued. Guess they are trying to clear old stock.

Headed to a stationary shop and spotted some colourful letter sets, some nice A4 paper refills, a cat calculator and a Very Important Person Award scroll. LOL!

I love the cat calculator, it was surprisingly cheap at less than RM7. And when JH handed me my unexpected Hello Kitty nail plate that came that day, I handed him the Very Important Person Award before the both of us rolled about laughing. Ahhh..

Fasio Perfect Lash Builder + CG For Audrey NOTD

Okay, review time! I bought the Fasio Perfect Lash Builder back in early March this year. It wasn't the one I wanted, I forgot the name, the one I wanted had really good reviews on Makeup Alley and so off I went in search of it since I really can't afford an Anna Sui one that I love so much.

On discovering that they didn't have the one I wanted, I was really disappointed and decided to try my luck and bought whatever they had. Worst, I couldn't find a proper review for this one. Grit my teeth, tighten my pocket and bought it.

I waited till I finished my Etude House oh my~me petticoat (whatever) base before using it and surprise surprise, I'm totally loving it!

Please take note that my eye make up is atleast 15 hours old, hee hee

The first time I tried it was with a super lousy TBS eye lash curler that ended not fitting the very Asian curves of my eyes (or lack of anyway :P). It would have worked better for people with deep set eyes me guess. But it held up my curl the whole day. It does okay for voluminizing (is there such a word?) that I love so much. So far, I'm really happy with this.

Good bye Etude, you're not very good to me, good bye Anna, I can't afford you. Hellooooo Fasioooooo~

NOTD Plain and simple, my little "Tiffany" box with a bow.

JH mentioned that I've been looking a little lifeless lately. A blank glaze and a blurred look is what I've been sporting, been a little too tired from work lately, there are just days when I come home at 5.30pm, and fall asleep till 12am when I wake up to wash my my make up, take a bath and then go back to sleep till the next morning.

After a while, anyone will be sporting this glazed eye look and walk around like a zombie. Even a cup of coffee can't revive you the next day. Times like this, I have no time and mood to even do fanciful EOTD or even NOTD, not to mention, I'm not allowed fanciful nails. *Sigh*

I'm lucky no one said anything about my blue coloured nails. Heh! So to prove to JH that I wasn't fully a walking zombie, I decided to errr..make my nails slightly fancy. Lmao! Yes, I stamped some bows on them... Yay me!

I don't own any Konad nail colour since those cost a bomb and frankly speaking, I can't afford a bomb so it's done using a RM5 Elianto nail colour. It's really hard to see them after all. Oh well, I can see them so I'm happy.

Next up, my a simple review of favourite eyeliners <-- this is actually to remind myself that I have something to write about.

P.s: Uhh to all the females out there. We gotta buck up now cause the guys are beating us on our own game. What makes me say this? Check this hotties out.

Damn, if I were a guy, I would date them too!! Atleast till I find that they have the same bodily structure as I do...

Oh la laaaaaaaa

He looked much better as a female =_=

Be warned: Might contain mature contents

By the way, they are all guys.

Sure a little bit of photoshop is used or soft lights or whatever but some of us use photoshop for our photos too and we don't even look half as good as them. I'm so ashamed of myself. I keep telling myself that if only I had their skills I would have looked like the Asian version of Kate Beckinsale in Underworld...

Kate Beckinsale in Underworld

In my little head:

You: Oh Ash, you look so pretty, what's your secret?

Me: My secret? Ahahaaa.. my secret is a secret, it's just between me and my photoshop.. AHAHAAA...

Either I buck up or start learning Photoshop...
