PSC + Handburger!
was posted at 5:03 AM with 0 comments
I bought the Sony's Cyber-shot® Digital Camera WX7 in Pink for $399 (retail price despite being bought at the recent IT fair at expo) and I am so glad I did! The photos taken were great, so I decided to take it out when I went with my friend to the Singapore Public Service Commission (PSC) this morning, before going to Somerset @ 313.

The wait for the burger wasn't very long, and the service was excellent! But I went at around 12.30pm, so there wasn't much people around. Besides greeting us when we stepped in, they brought us to our seats and helped us put our belongings on the bag hanger (it's hidden under the table!), and ocassionally ask if we needed anything more. They were polite as well, and efficient!

In less than a couple of minutes, my friend's burger came. I can't really remember the name, but I think it's something Dory?

My came a short while later! I ordered Chicken Ceaser, which was one of the popular burgers. None of us took their chef special 'Handburger', nor the most popular one, as we weren't fans of beef :/

Tantalizing?

I really love onion rings more than chunky fries, but both were equally good, so I kept stealing it off my friend :P

After seeing the food and how good it was, I got really happy, lol!

Awkward smile to the max :/

I'm really statisfied, but the serving was wayyy too big for me and I couldn't finish it without starting to feel sick. But then again, I always had poor digestion for protein and oil. Advisable for people with a bigger appetite!

Offer is on Monday - Friday, 11:30am - 3pm (I think). Selected burgers with a side and drinks (ice lemon tea/hot green tea) for only $8.80 (exclusive of GST and service charge). I do wish to return some other day during the weekdays (:

*PS: Photos were not editted, except for resizing, to show the quality of my new cam, haha!

Ah! I took a photo of my new pencil case I bought at the official AKB48 shop in Singapore, but I fail to remember to upload it to my computer to blog about it T_T Till next time then!~

Quest for the perfect drugstore mascara!
was posted at 4:28 AM with 2 comments
As a poor student, I'm looking for the best drugstore mascara available!
I know branded mascara might be better than drugstore brands, but I'm just looking for a mascara that is most value for money!

So what am I looking for?
- Length
- Volume
- Durability
- Waterproof
- Value for money
- Doesn't clump
- Able to keep for some time
- Will make you want to buy again
And the list go on~

Currently, I have my eyes on two of Maybelline's rather recent mascaras:

#1 - Maybelline : Volum' Express® The Falsies™ Black Drama Mascara

Photobucket

I don't see it in Watson's yet, but I do see it online already. Read a couple of reviews and they sound good, but apparently it dries really quick and it's not a mascara to use when you're in a rush.

Going at SGD$13.90.

#2 - Maybelline :: Lash Stiletto® Ultimate Length Washable Mascara


Photobucket

This mascara has been madly raved by so many bloggers that I'm determined to get it! In fact, I'm dropping down to Watsons tomorrow after school to get it. It's a little pricey for me, but the packaging is so slick and chic that it might be worth it.

Still, need to know if the mascara quality itself is good or not.

Retailing at SGD$18.90.

Hopefully I'll find a decent mascara after using so many fail ones like Tony Moly, Canmake, some other Maybelline mascara etc. D:

OPI Femme de Cirque Soft Shades Collection - In The Spotlight Pink Review
was posted at 7:37 AM with 0 comments
Double post within the day because I totally love this shade from OPI's Femme de Cirque Collection!

Photobucket

In the Spotlight Pink is a rather sheer and soft pink shade which complements really well with normal nails! One layer to make the nails look healthy and pink, while a second layer will show its colour better.

It kinda reminds me of a squishy pink jelly shade that I want to eat, haha! I really like the texture of it because it is so easy to apply, although I dislike the fact that it takes longer than usual to dry (maybe it's just me) as compared to my other OPI shades. I like how it gives my nails an extra shine too!

Will I get it again? Hmm, I'm fickle and I prefer goth colours, so maybe no.
Will I recommend it? Yes! If you don't mind layering and go for a sweet look.
Worth my money? I guess so!

One more photo before I end this post because I really like it!

Back with more DollyWink, and...
was posted at 12:55 AM with 0 comments
It's been quite some time since I last blogged! In my previous entry, I expressed great delight in DollyWink's eyeshadow, which I have to take back after using it. The applicator was difficult to use, and the colour couldn't stand out withhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif my somewhat tanned skin. It was like, I didn't apply anything at all. I'm debating if I should get Eyeshadow Palette No. 02 (Gray Pink for Cool Cat Eyes), but since the first eyeshadow palette didn't work out for me, I have my reserves.

Even though I wasn't happy with the eyeshadow palette, I decided to try out it's other products, like it's famous eyeliner and lashes!

Photobucket

I bought all my products from: polkadottyloves.blogspot.com
She replies real fast, and mail out the items quickly too! Bought twice from her and I'm very happy with my service (:

I have yet to try out my lashes since my schedule has been incredibly hectic and I'm down with a bad case of flu + fever, so I only tried out the eyeliner on my hand, in contrast with my other eyeliners.

Photobucket

My already existing collection!

From Front to Back:
DollyWink Liquid Eyeliner (Black)
K-Palette One Day Tattoo (Black)
MAC Technakohl Liner (Black)
Maybelline Unstoppable Liner (Brown)
Revlon Matte Liner (White)
L'OREAL HiP Colour Chrome Liner (Black)
SilkyGirl Funky Eyelights Pencil (Silver)

Photobucket

Starting from the top:
DollyWink Liquid Eyeliner (Black)
K-Palette One Day Tattoo (Black)
Maybelline Unstoppable Liner (Brown)
L'OREAL HiP Colour Chrome Liner (Black)
MAC Technakohl Liner (Black)
SilkyGirl Funky Eyelights Pencil (Silver)
Revlon Matte Liner (White)
*PS: I'm slightly mixed up with L'OREAL's and MAC's, so I can't be sure!

Anyway, imho, I think DollyWink's eyeliner formula is slightly more "runny/watery" as compared to K-Palette. The intensity are about the same, as both are buildable, so if you already own a K-Palette liner, you can forgo DollyWink's, unless you're a sucker for polka dots like me!

If I do go out with my friends soon, I promise to use DollyWink's eyeliner so you can see it under natural lighting (: Going to get a new camera soon as well since my handphone camera don't always do products justice! I'm currently eyeing Sony's Cyber-shot® Digital Camera WX7:

Photobucket

It costs about SGD$399 (shop price), which is way out of my budget since I'm a broke student. And my dad isn't subsiding the cost since I broke the previous family camera because somebody bumped into me and having butter fingers, it slipped out of my hand and landed on the hard ground. For a more budget friendly camera, should I get Nikon Coolpix S3100 instead?

Photobucket

It costs SGD$150 less, retailing at SGD$249. I intend to spend one of the days in June Holidays touring Singapore and looking for the cheapest price I can find for either of these two cameras. I hope the Great Singapore Sale coming will aid me too!

Lately, I've also started the bad habit of painting nails. I keep buying OPI and China Glaze that I'm starting to feel the pinch (since I don't have any income).

Photobucket

It's only 9 bottles, but it costs my entire month's allowance T_T

China Glaze's Crackle Glaze (Crushed Candy) and Red Pearl

The red was a mistake initially! I meant to get it for my mother's birthday present, but it turns out that she really hated red. So I'm using it for myself now. I really like the shine and glitter it has and it goes really well with either Black Shatter (OPI) or Silver Shatter (*New!* from OPI). So instead of tossing it out, it is permanently part of my collection (till it runs out).

Photobucket

I can't live without the base coat, or the top coat. The base coat helps my polish flow better and prevents staining, while the top coat prevents chipping and gives my nails and extra shine ((:

Photobucket

The only OPI colours which I own, Black Onyx (Left), In the Spotlight Pink (from the new collection, Femme de Cirque), and Teenage Dream (Right; Katy Perry Collection!). Black Onyx matches beautifully with silver shatter (opi) or crushed candy (crackle glaze). No problem with this nailpolish! However, for In the Spotlight Pink, the colour is really pale and the formula is "runny". With only one layer, I can achieve a healthy pink hue on my nails, but to get the colour, I would have to layer it for at least thrice. Then again, the colour is still really light. Great for everyday wear though, since it's not obvious (: Last but not least, Teenage Dream! Nothing to say about it, it's just a beautiful shade of pink with lots of glitter! Great for any age (my mom is wearing it and totally loved it! got it for her for mother's day since she rejected red pearl!).

Last but not least... *drum rolls*

Photobucket

THE TWO SHATTER SHADES - BLACK AND SILVER SHATTER! Would I say I have to fight tooth and nail for it? For Black Shatter, I had to wait a full 2 months before I could lay my hands on it! I was real lucky for Silver Shatter though! I placed my order real early, so it came within two weeks (shipping time). However, I hope that OPI has changed the formula for Silver Shatter. Even with proper keeping habits, OPI Black Shatter dries real quickly (even within the bottle). OPI Silver Shatter seems to be able to glide more smoothly, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it would not share the same problem as Black Shatter!

On a side note, once I started eating sashimi (I used to avoid it), I'm extremely in love with it now!

Photobucket

At Momoya's, the ambience is great and the sashimi looks and tastes awesome as well!

Tantalizing? ;)
