Resolutions

I'm not sure that i would say i follow through New Year Resolutions.
To be honest, majority of people would actually come up with a list that they try to accomplish within the year, but really.. do you really follow through throughout the entire year without fail?
I might believe that out of 10 people, may 3 would do it.
But i can safely say, that i am not one of them..
I even come up with the simplest of resolutions, and still as much as i try, i never get to it.
So this year, i decided to be realistic with the resolutions and try sticking to it..

Ed Sheeran - I See Fire

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how lovely this song is. His voice and the way the song is sung.
I absolutely love this song, I might be a little obsessed with The Lord Of The Rings, It's been about 6 years and i will never get sick of that movie. I have a condition. Will anyone agree that is it one of the best movies of all time? Please someone enlighten me.

CLARASONIC MIA 2

Last week, i decided to head over to Sephora to get the Clarasonic for a Birthday treat to myself.
I had to consider getting it for sometime because it is quite pricey here in Singapore.
When i headed to the Sephora at Ngee Ann City, i was advised by a really friendly staff who did the proper recommendations for me which i am absolutely thankful for.
Considering that my skin type would be Oily to combination skin, she mentioned that all skin types are good for this equipment! even for sensitive skin! ( that's me as well, major sensitive skin. )

So there i was all getting ready to purchase the Clarasonic Mia, then the sales assistant prompt me to purchase the Clarasonic Mia 2 which was about $45 more. The difference of the Mia and Mia 2 is that the Mia 2 had to speed settings for you to choose, either low or high. It also has a timer for when you are suppose to shift to the next section on your face. The timer is set to 1 Minute, and in a clock wise motion, the timer will alarm you to move to the next part. 20 seconds on the Forehead, 20 seconds on the chin and nose, and 10 seconds on each cheek. Which i feel that is very important to have the timer. even though this product is non evasive, i still feel that one should not overdo with this equipment as our skin is super delicate.

I was told that i could use my own facial wash with the product, so currently i am using the Purity Cleanser by Philosophy which goes absolutely well with the Clarasonic Mia 2.

I would say, using this more than 5 times, i can definitely see alot of difference. My skin a less bumpy and brightened up. it is save to use it twice a day. Many people said that the first few times of using the clarasonic might break you out as it is deep cleansing your skin and the breakouts are toxins from deep in. however, that didn't happen to me. Love this product and will keep loving it!
I got the exact same colour as the picture below, this cost me $215 from All Sephoras!, super preeeeetty!! :)

Fragrance Combination

These past few year i've gotten use to my all time fragrance. I've never gotten sick of it at all.

It's the Britney Spears, Midnight Fantasy. With it fruity and floral scent, it can never go wrong. Everyone will always ask me what i'm using and get quite shocked that it was from Britney Spears.

I recently found a new discovery and i can say that i absolutely love it. Not that i will not use the above anymore, i think change is good...well sometimes..

I ended up doing a combination of two scent to form an amazing scent to die for..

It is the Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction body mist combined with Victoria's Secret Sensual Blush Lotion.

OMG, i cannot emphasize how brilliant these scents come together. 

Pure Seduction has a very light and fresh scent, it's combines with red-plus and freesia.

Sensual Blush has a down to earth mellow smell that i figured most people will appreciate this scent,

It's a mix of pink lotus and sultry woods.

The way it's named sounds out of this world. so yeah, give it a try and let me know what you think!

It's really inexpensive as well! Both would have cost less that $40.

With love!

Year End 2013 Holiday : Bangkok, Thailand

Hello there!
Last year, 2013.. Instead of spending alot for a long holiday. We decided to go to Thailand for the year end holiday my boyfriend and i do every end of the year. We previously went to Malaysia and Indonesia so this time we decided to head off a little further. Others might be going far to Europe, USA and so forth.. But i guess our time will come later on when we've saved enough cash to go far. We're actually trying to save up and prolly head to Japan at the end of this year, but we'll see..
So we started saving at the last minute thinking that we could make it for the year end trip..
So we saved from September and managed to finalize everything by November and we were off to Bangkok on the first week of December.

We got our flight tickets off the sale period, so we ended up paying 250 bucks each for Tiger Airways.
We should have just waited for the sale and got it for half the price but screw that..
We managed to find really cheap accommodation for the trip.. We stayed at At Mind Executive Suites which was located in Pratunam. The closest station to the hotel was on the BTS line, On Nut. Because we went during the time the protest was going on, from the airport we decided to take the MRT to our hotel because taking the taxi would have got us held up by the protest. it took us about 45 mins from the airport to the hotel.

We got to Thailand in the evening and decided to venture out to places that were open till late. Asiatique was the place to go.. Such a lovely ambiance and amazing food!The next day we got up early, had breakfast at the hotel which was relatively good, and headed to Chatuchak! after that we headed to the heart of bangkok and shopped till our legs were literally aching!

We didn't go sightseeing because we didn't want to get inbetween the protest that was going on, so all we did was eat and shop till the time we had to head home :(

At the end of the day, we did enjoy ourselves

Next up.. Tokyo, Japan!!!!

lovelovelove!

Perfect song to start the day

End-of-year Beauty Haul : Sephora

I haven't been updating this blog as often as I was suppose to. I figured I could do one right now to start the year 2014 the right way and hopefully continue to post on a regular basis for my readers ( If I ever do have some..)

So last week I ended up going to Sephora, at Ion Orchard to use up a gift card that a family friend has given to me as a present for Christmas. It was a $200 gift card, and the items I've purchased we're either something that i've never ever tried before and always wanted to.. Or it was something that I was done with and needed to get a new one.. So here it goes..

First of was the Philosophy Purity cleanser.. It is a 3-in1 cleanser for face and eyes..
Now when they said 3-in-1 cleanser..you must be wondering.. How does that even work?
We'll it states on the product that it replaces your make-up remover, facial cleanser and a toner!
And best part is, it does everything it says on the bottle.. Which was why I needed to get a new one because I am in love with this. This would be the second bottle I've got and I'm not disappointed at this product at all. Considering that my face is a combination of oily and normal, this cleanser does the job for me.

Moving on, I'm almost done with my concealer.. The previous one I was using would be the Revlon, Photoready stick concealer. I did like that but I felt that if I used slightly too much of it, my under eyes would look cakey. Still like it but I don't love it. So I heard from a few friends saying that the MAC Mineralized concealer was worth trying.. I so got it! I got it in the shade NW25. I've yet to use it often to be able to do a proper review.. Look out for that soon!

Next up would be foundation.. The foundation I was using before would be the MAC Studio Fix Fluid which has SPF 15 in it. I was the shade NC35. Loved it but I just wanted to give another brand a try and venture out to find the best foundation that suits the skin type that I have. So I got the Sephora 10HR wear perfection foundation in the shade, 20 Clair light. The bad thing about it is that there is no sun protection in it so I'd have to wear sunscreen below it. Good thing about it is that it really stays on for long hours, I'm not sure if it's 10 hours but it matti files my face throughout the night! I did get the compact powder with this and both works really well!! Love it!!

Second last item I got was a mascara.. 

My previous post was the mascara I was using which was the maybeline rocket mascara. 

Without a doubt, still in love with that however, I found another bad boy to add on..

Benefit, they're real mascara. Oh my god, can I just say that it would be one of the best I've ever tried.

It lengthens and give my lashes so much volume.. Double love because it comes with a small one which I can travel around with. Amazing!!

Lastly to end off would be something that I think I might love and re-purchase it..

Before this product I was using the MAC Studio fix plus spray. I really did like it because it did hold my make up for long hours without much to touch up.. But because my skin is oily, and I've heard youtubers rave about this product particularly miss glamourazzi who has oily skin..

Urban Decay, De-Slick MakeUp setting spray. If you've got oily skin, and just want matte looking skin all day without the need of touching up? Get this baby right here..

So everything I've mentioned cost me a total of $208 so I just had to top up the $8 for all those items.

I will do a review on each item when I've actually tried them long enough for me to rave about them.

The next post I will be talking a little about my trip to Bangkok in December 2013.. 

Planning more travels for this year!!!

Love love!
