If you are following me on Instagram, you would have seen pictures of my outfit for my retro-themed company dinner, also known as dinner and dance (D&D or DnD for short). What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear 'retro'? To most of us, it would be chunky plastic earrings, polka dots etc. I googled for some reference and guess what? Retro actually consists of big bold prints like squares, huge dots and anything that shows a huge contrast. To my surprise, vintage fashion is considered as retro too.
I was part of the planning committee for my company's D&D this year and I even bumped into my poly mate, Su at Hilton Singapore where my company D&D was held.
Hi lovelies, you probably would have seen the sneak preview of Beauty Asia Singapore 2013 on SweetestSins Facebook page as well as on my Instagram. If you haven't, read on to find out about the latest offering in the beauty industry!
For those of you whom are following me on Instagram, you would have seen the photos above that I posted from Bellabox After Work Party.
It was an awesome night with fluttery false eyelashes with Shu Uemura, makeover by a Japanese make up artist (of whom I didn't managed to get his name) who taught me a lot about shading/contouring and highlight. I was also treated to an express manicure by Sally Hansen!
My cousin, Li Bing came back from Taiwan not long ago and guess what she brought back for me? Yes, loads of facial masks and false lashes! Gotta thank her for these lovelies!
She also gave me 2 of her favourite My Beauty Diary Red Wine Mask. Tried one out and it does help to tighten pores and brighten my skin slightly. Now I know why she's a fan of them!
Hi lovelies, I thought it would be fun to share some of the newer items which I have spotted at Watsons lately.
I was really excited when I saw these double eyelid tape from Koji over at Watsons Ngee Ann City. Why do I say that? Because firstly, it is recommended by NRZWD. Secondly, it was out of stock on Sasa.com.
Its definitely one of the best double eyelid tape which I have used. Although the tape still shows up, but I feel that it is less obvious compared to other brands. Furthermore, I liked the fact that it has got excess tape at the sides which you can hold on to for precise application, so you need not worry about ruining the stickiness of the end of the tape.
Look what I've found at Watsons?! Dermal facial masks!
They are my favorite apart from My Beauty Diary masks. I was first introduced to Dermal masks by my cousin. She loved them so much that she would restock her supply of Dermal masks on each and every trip she made to Korea.
My favorites among the range are the pearl, red wine and coenzyme Q10 masks. I want to try the Charcoal one next!
Another item which I saw was Revlon Fantasy Lengths Self Adhesive Lashes and Revlon Nail Stay Maximum Wear Glue-on Nails.
I have been contemplating whether a not to get them from Drugstore.com sometime back but was hesitant as I was skeptical of the quality. But when I saw the falsies, they looked so natural and pretty. That goes the same for the stick on nails as well. Most of them were in the style of a french manicure with minimum accent designs. Definitely good for everyday use and for work!
I also spotted another brand, Kiss (as shown in the picture above along with Revlon) which carries nail products. It reminds me so much of Sally Hansen. Especially the packaging! I wonder if they are affiliated or is it yet another case of marketers trying to create confusion among consumers.
That's all for today. I hope you all enjoyed this post!
Love,
Patricia
