this is one of the best explainations for applying a outer V using eyeshadow. Plus this look only has two shades of color.

Hope you enjoy it/learn as much as I have :D

Totally not beauty related… but here’s what fills my heart to overflowing…

the guy on top is turning 4 next week. the gal is 5.

we were in the car after church and everyone was tired. my little guy lasted the longest and so ended up letting his older sister use his lap as a pillow. he’s really got a good caring heart.

as you can tell, VOX has finally let me back into its fold... sigh... anyways, will continue to cross post from blogspot to here but honestly, if you put me on your google reader, you're gonna get updates much faster than if you keep checking here. Reasons? well, I sometimes post in advance (in other words, I write a whole bunch of posts on one day and tell blogger to take its time to post them. LOL! I know I know its cheating... kinda... but hey, as long as it keeps me sane yah?) and I'm allowed to create drafts (got a super long waiting waiting to be finished), save them and post them later. BTW, I use windows live writer for my blogging efforts at blogger. 

So whether I see you there or here... I'll be reading everyone's blogs everywhere I can ^.^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve been so bad… looking back, my last proper update was June 3rd! that’s more than 10 days ago! there goes my promise to myself to post at least twice a week. *naughty fr0nd!*

so what have I been up to, you’d probably ask… lots! its the school hols and that always means family time. Plus my cousin went to Taiwan for 2 weeks and left me his car to use. YAY! you can do so many more thing with 3 kids when there’s a car involved.

So we had supper 2x… my kids very first supper. So now they’re true blue Singaporeans! I mean, can you imagine a Singaporean that’s never had supper before… ludicrous!

Here’s some happy faces…

and here was what I enjoyed most…

so of the frothiest teh tarik I’ve had in ages. The froth came past the top of the cup. Sadly though, as I walked back to our table I passed a fan and my lovely froth went flying *cries*

still the drink was smooth and oh so very yummy.

more family stuff to come soon… :)

There’s another false eyelash spree and I need to decide what to buy… LOL!

so here’s my top two choices… Ardell’s Demure and Ardell’s 108s… which do you prefer?

First up is Ardell’s 108s…

Second in line… Ardell’s Demure

I used these also here.

I’ve got 4 pairs of the 108s and am tempted to buy 4 of the demure just as alternatives. I think both have very different effects…

So should I spend the money and get more demures? Let me know what you think via the comment link… :D

For those of you who are on facebook, Maybelline New York is running a makeup workshop next Friday, June 12th. Cost is SGD15 a person.

After a little consideration, I’ve signed up for the first session (2-3.30pm). Before you ask, no, I’m not going with anyone. I’m quite used to and am comfortable running solo… but having said that, if anyone wants to join me, I’d love to meet up and share the experience with you.

Am looking forward to, perhaps, learning some new techniques, trying new products and of course, exploring that goodie bag! new ‘toys’ are always fun to have!!

Just got this lovely little email in my inbox… and what can I say, I am so very tempted. :( and given my love for her colors, it’d be super easy to come up with a suitably sized list of ‘wants’. Sigh…

So… who’s gonna join me… *checks wallet for cash*

I am continuing to shop my stash. Yes, I know I have three LEs which I haven’t touched yet – not even to swatch for you patient readers who have requested swatches… but at the moment, I’m finding it more fun to shop my stash and see what new looks I can come up with.

These TSS colors are all available in the regular collection except for Dueling Divas which is from the custom palette.

One of my gfs commented that since I have a sizable area above my crease I should use it. So I’m trying to extend the limits of my color application. LOL!

My color mojo is kinda back. If you notice, I’m using a lot more colors again. But its fun to really get back to blending and mixing things up.

Lashes used were Ardell’s Demure. I did tell my other gf that I didn’t like them… well, surprise, surprise, fickle Fr0nd actually does. They significantly up the volume of my lashes while not being long enough to hit the lenses of my glasses. So I’ll probably be looking into getting a couple more of this model.

Enough talk… on to the eotd!

Monistat – base
NYX JEP in Pacific – all over lid and smudged up
TSS Dueling Divas (custom) – inner lid
TSS Pom Pom Chic – mid lid
TSS Matyr Girl – out lid & crease
TSS Empty Promise (one of my fav purples) – above the crease
TSS Moonlight Whimsy (another old fav) – highlight
MM liquid e/liner in black
Dayna’s Minerals Just Browsing Black – brows
Ardell’s Demure lashes

with flash – pls excuse the oiliness, this was taken at night after a very long day

my own thoughts are that I really should move the lashes inwards… they’re way too long at the outer corners and make everything look droopy. But given that I had already spent 45 mins (just on lashes) trying to get this look together, I was too frustrated to pull them off and start over for the fifth time. Will try to do better the next round.

and one with my eldest who has become a four eyed monster just recently :(

finally, just a word to let you know that I’ll try to blog at least twice a week for the next four weeks. But no promises. Its the school holidays and that means mummy is on the “go go go” – much less “me” time to play with my colors :)

til the next time, stay beautiful!

*crossposted at Frond's Fun on 31.5.09*

Felt kinda greenish brown today. So shopped my stash and this is what I came up with. *all e/s from the LE collection unless indicated)

Monistat – base
NYX JEP in French Fries – all over lid
TSS Saw the Angel – inner lid
TSS Warm and Fuzzy (may be a blush.. I dunno) – mid lid
TSS Lost Moss – outer corner/crease
TSS Risked It All and Won – above the crease
TSS Scatter Brain (regular) – highlight
Dayna’s Minerals in Browsin’ Black for brows

Been playing with false eyelashes so decided to start showing my experiments off. This is Ardell’s Invisilash Babies.

please excuse the floppy outer corner. I still can’t get it done right. Annoying. I know I have a learning curve to conquer but learning anything just sucks sometimes. Sigh.

Any helpful pointers from people who’ve been there done that would be extremely appreciated!!

And finally here’s a ‘rare’ full fotd… see my lovely lashes. :)

Usual suspects:

Blend of SN perfecting powder, date bait, foundation and CS’ silica
SN’s Climax blusher
no lippie.. hadn’t got that far when I took pics :P
