Hello Kitty nails; In2it lash conditioner, Vintage Rose nails, Maybelline Baby Lips

Yesss, nail infection gone and NOTD's back! I gave my nails a much needed one month break and now the fun begins again. Or so I hope. I cheered myself up during my torturous sore throat period by watching YouTube and came across this. It was just too cute and I had to try it.

Items used:
Elianto Top Coat
Elianto White
GW Paints in Blood Red*
GW Paints in Bad Moon Yellow*
GW Paints in Chaos Black *


*These aren't really meant for nails. They are actually acrylic paints for WarHammer models but they are non toxic.

Hewwoo Kitty!

They didn't turn out perfect but it makes me smile looking at them. Hee! Painting my right hand was a pain in the *toot* though but Thank God for all the trainings I've had.

But just a day before the Hello Kitty, I was inspired to do a Vintage Rose NOTD. The results? I couldn't wait to wash this off fast enough. The OPI I'm In-dia Mood for Love turned out a little dull and I didn't manage to pull this off. BAH!

Bah! Bah! Bah!

Bored + Watsons = Not good combi. I start buying nonsense. One of the things I got during one of my trips to Watson was the In2it Lash Conditioner Mascara. It contains moisturising ingredient and keratin to help strengthen eye lashes and also assist in setting lashes. All this for a mere RM12.50. [USD$1 = RM3]


But anyway during my lapse of better judgment and got sold into the advertisement, I bought it and I am interested to see if this was any good, after all my Fasio Eye Lash Base was finishing.



Please follow instructions. On my first day, I curled my lashes then applied this and in just a few minutes, my lashed drooped down and looked as if I didn't even bother to curl it. On the second day, I curled my lashed, applied the lash conditioner and curled it again. The effect was much much better. The curls stayed the entire day.


Before and after

It doesn't volumise as much as I would like but for RM12.50 it's not bad at all but I can't give all the credit to the Lash Conditioner since I am using Maybelline's Volum' Express Cat Eyes Mascara. My love for Maybelline is for the mascara ONLY.

*Stares at picture*

Lookie, I look as if I got big, boogly, gold fish eyes. o.O Interesting.

*points points*

A while back, Tahira from A look In a Creative Mind drew this for me and I LOVE the picture of the unicorn so much that when I spotted a stall in a Chinese Art Exhibition making small glass figurines, I specially requested for a unicorn.

My little Pony, My little Pony~ La la la laa la la laaaa~

I speak no Mandarin and the 'si-fu' (He's from China) spoke no English. It was a classic case of chicken talking to a duck. There was a lot of hand waving and broken Mandarin till my colleague stepped in to help translate.

I requested for a white unicorn with pink mane and blue eyes. Merely two days later, my unicorn died. Either that or it became an ordinary horse. It toppled off my hand bag and into the floor. The tail went one way and the body the other.

My poor unicorn!

I sat down on the floor and started crying. In the end, I super glued everything back again. AHAHA! And it looked fine and dandy except for the little chip on the ear :P

Oh and how's the Maybelline's Baby Lips? After one week, my lips does feel more moisturised. It feels much smoother and I don't wake up with dry lips even when I forget to apply it the night before.

It smells nice and doesn't taste funky. It's also feel lightweight, it doesn't feel as if you have something on. It doesn't stay on your lips too long, disappearing within 15 minutes or so.

Then again, while I was using Lip Smackers, my lips feels pretty good too. *scratch head* So erm, moral of story is, it doesn't matter the brand but if you use your lip balm diligently, you'll get nice smooth lips anyway (?).

Anyone else writing a review for this? I suck..

Finger Infection; Maybelline's Baby Lips

I apologise for the lack of post, it has not been a good 2 weeks for me. Out of no where an entire army of pimples came barging in and decided to stay with me for a good long vacation and refuses to go away.

Also, there was a lack of NOTD because me being a smarty pants tore my cuticles and left an open wound on my finger which then got infected. Nothing you guys wanna see. It hurt for a good 2 weeks before it turned purple and swell like a sausage. Out of desperation, I messed with it till the green pus came exploding out. Ugh right? Now, imagine my reaction?


On my last trip to Singapore, I saw Maybelline's Baby Lips at Watsons but being stingy, I decided to come back to Penang to get it hoping it'll be cheaper. I ended up waiting for a good 3 months before it arrived selling at the same price as Singapore after the exchange rate conversion. FML!


I wasn't sure if the lip balm was tinted or not so to remain safe, I got one named soothing cherry. Upon opening it, it turned out to be colourless (D'oh). UGHHH NOOOO. I no like cherry! Anyway the lip balm promises 8 hour moisture and rejuvenate lips in ONE week. I'm going to put this for the test.

Ever since I started my new job, I've been applying the Lip Smackers' Cotton Candy lip gloss I won from Bunny's Giveaway a while back every day religiously. My lips are in pretty good condition now so let's see how Maybelline does.


Another thing I got from Watsons was the Rose Fairy hydrating facial toner and lotion. Not sure how good it works or will works but knowing that it's a in house brand, it'll probably be mediocre. I'm not biased but I've tried a couple of in house stuffs from Watsons and they range from really bad to bad to average.

The only reason I bought them was because I really liked the bottles. They reminded me of the little traveling size bottles from Anna Sui. At 50% off I decided that I could just throw away the content and just use the bottles. Then again, the rose smells really good. The toner reminds me of rose water. Hmmm~

EDIT: The toner smells funky when you pour it out on your hands. Pour is a good word to describe it since there's no stopper. The lotion is really oily. Me no likey...
