Soleil Tan de Chanel Sable Rose

I can't believe I jumped onto the bandwagon of getting the bronzer from Chanel Summer Collection 2012. When I saw the pictures of it on the beauty blogsphere, it certainly did not draw me in like Chanel Ombre Contraste Duos in Sable Emouvant. However, when I swatched it over Tangs Vivo counter yesterday, I was certainly sold!

I cannot emphasis enough how Chanel always makes me go gaga over their design and packaging for some of their limited edition items. Just looking at this picture and I already can't bear to use it. :( I know there are ladies out there who asked themselves if they should get the bronzers in this Summer Collection if they already purchased Bronze Rose and Bronze Corail, my suggestion is to check our Sabrina's comparison here. She never ever fails to give excellent swatches clear enough for you to make a decision. Lucky for me, I did not caved in to Bronze Rose or Bronze Corail last year thus this was quite a no brainer for me.

I also managed to get a sample of the new foundation, Perfection Lumiere in 20 beige from the friendly SA so it's time to give this highly-raved foundation a try and compare with my HG foundation, Lift Lumiere which I raved about previously.

Man, even Eden went gaga over my Chanel........... haha

CN Blue - Still in Love

I swear if CN Blue sing this song to me, I will drop dead on the SPOT! I can literally feel the sadness and sorrow in Yong Hwa's singing......

MIB3 in IMAX 3D

Lately BC is on a IMAX 3D craze....... every new movie that is released, he will check to see if there is an IMAX 3D version. Ticket is not cheap at close to $20 per pax (I'm not sure how much it costs since I am not paying for it, lol) but the movie experience is indeed very very very different from a normal film and even 3D version.

Not sure how many of you can remember the film experience when we go for school excusion at Science Centre and we had to sit in the IMAX theatre for a show? It feels almost like that but you are not inclined and you are also wearing a 3D glasses. The whole show just seems closer to you and it's like IN YOUR FACE (literally!). For example, there is a scene that Will Smith is looking down from a tall building, I really felt like I am looking down and my heart almost pop out.

IMAX 3D is quite a cool experience and you should try it if you haven't. It's not something you want to try often since it is not exactly pocket friendly but if you choose a good film to get the full experience, it is most definitely money well-spent. :)

Essie Bangle Jangle & China Glaze Luxe & Lush

Nursing an injured ankle and strain back means staying in and catching up on my Korean shows / music videos etc etc. It also is a good time to change my nail colour :)


Essie Bangle Jangle is the nail of the week. Did anyone mention that I love purple colour? This creamy lilac shade is just lovely. I tried to add some oomph by laying China Glaze Luxe & Lush on alternate fingers and I have to rant ..... Luxe & Lush is such a b*t@h to apply!!!! Hate it!

Nonetheless, Bangle Jangle is a shade that I foresee myself reaching for often for sure. :)

Juniel with Yonghwa – “Fool” full MV

Last week has just been draining for me, I'm not sure why. Work is busy as usual but mentally and physically I am just feeling sooooo drained. With all the crazy news about my employer, it is no wonder that most people are starting to be worried about their rice bowl. Honestly, I will be kidding myself to say I am not worried but I am not sure what to expect or do either. Just have to wait and see :(

So on a happier note, I have became a CN Blue fan! It all started from watching 'HeartStrings' whereby Jung Yong Hwa caught my attention (sorry, I did not watched 'You're Beautiful where Yong Hwa was in it as well and only started watching it now) and with the power of internet (haha), then did I realise he is part of a band called CN Blue. They are surely a group that do not only look good, they are talented too. They can sing and even write their own songs.

Just recently, Yong Hwa was involved in composing, writing lyrics and producing the duet with Juniel named 'Fool'. This MV was just launched today and I really love it. The song is sweet and catchy and their voices are good and compliment each other. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. :)

China Glaze Fast Track

After the massive rave of  Hunger Games movie, many (including yours truly) rushed to buy the novels. One of the items that spun out was nail polishes from China Glaze. China Glaze launched The Capitol Colours Collection, showcasing 12 polishes, representing the 12 Districts in the show. I picked up 2 polishes from this collection: Fast Track (District 6) and Luxe & Lush (District 1). The nails of this week is FAST TRACK!

Let me tell you what caught my attention when selecting the polishes to pick up from this collection:-
1) NEUTRAL
2) GOLD MICRO FLECKS

With these 2 points, I am totally sold and immediately adding Fast Track to my shopping list. The texture is smooth and watery, making it a breeze to apply and I usually apply 3 coats of China Glaze polish to achieve good coverage and this is no difference.

Honestly, the lousy picture above does not do Fast Track any justice. Under the lights, the gold micro flecks just give this beige nail polish that extra edge. I totally love it!

Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Colour SV 810 Tin

One of my undeclared hauls for the longest time is Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Colour in SV810. After reading and seeing the swatches on various beauty blogs previously, I literally rushed to get my hands on them when these cream shadows were launched. One of the colours that I was dying to get is SV 810 Tin.

I like blue eyeshadows but it's really tricky to use them especially on my monolids that I just do not have the confidence at all. SV810 Tin is however a greyish blue which looks like a pretty safe blue for me to give this a try. According to the SA, I recalled this is one of the more popular colours that were quickly snapped up.

Honestly, I do not find this cream eyeshadow easy to blend using my fingers. I'm not sure if the issue is my finger or the formula but I personally find it hard to control the application of this shadow. Instead, I used Sephora I.T brush 235 for cream shadow to apply and blend. It works fine but time is required to build up the colour intensity and blend as well. I have no complaints about this method but it is definitely not something I would do when I am rushing for work.

So far, I did not use a primer prior to Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Colour but it does last approximately 6 hours for me. After which, the colour does look slightly faded but without creasing. No complaints here :)

Here is another EOTD which I did today. Given I am in a lazy mode, I only used SV810 Tin on my lids and did a gradation which doesn't look very obvious, haha. What do you think?
