Bare Market
So the Spring 2008 colours and trends are out and as usual I cringe. OK I'm not like April — I don't really follow what's new and all because usually one of the following happens:
- No money.
- Don't feel like spending money.
- Don't dare to spend money.
- No interest in new trends.
Actually fact is I'm not a trend looker, and I like to pretend I'm trend setter and the truth is I'm adverse to change and I'd rather dig out my mother's old clothes than spend a bomb wearing the latest look in the streets.
Like for instance, in the midst of choosing a wedding dress I got really appalled by Vera Wang (so called Mistress of the Weddings runway or something to that effect) and a latest selection of drapes and torn curtains. Like I said previously, ten years down the road I don't want to open my wedding album and wonder what the fuck was I doing choosing a set of shredded quality satin as a wedding dress just because it was the trend of the time.
But really, the interesting thing about the Bare Market trend is how the cuts are old fashioned and all that's changed is the material - transparent overalls and trench coats in basic seen-before lines make them seem almost wearable, except the materials just don't cut it for me. And a NURSE'S Uniform?
Tak jalan lah.
No commentsI Want The Latest Dior Eye and Cheek Palette ‘08
The Dior fan in me wants to burst into song at the thought of SPRING!
I couldn't stop oogling and nearly left a pool of drool at the Dior Counters just admiring the intricacy of design and colors.
As I dusted some all over my face, It left the most beautiful pinkish iridescence that was just glowing! I'm chucking all my bronzers aside for summer and saying hello to sweet pastel colors!
Just a few more days until I can purchase one. It's a shame I will have to ruin the lovely prints on it just to make myself beautiful.
No commentsWhat the Fudge?
In my conquest for looking great, I try very hard not to ever neglect my hair. On times when I do disregard my mane, I go hunting for a hair treatment cream
It definitely passed the test of leaving a nice delicious scent to the hair and I when I used it to soak all the nasty clubbing cigarette stench, it only took one soak (I usually have to soak my hair twice!) On the first wash, it did leave my hair smoother, silkier and easier to handle, but treatments should last your hair for the next couple of days; Am I not right?
At a steep MYR49.00 per bottle of 150grams, aside from it's multiple reviews on how good it is, It never quite worked for me (I've definitely tried better). Perhaps owing to the fact that I'm Asian and it probably doesn't work as well on Asian hair as compared to (yes that's why you see different products in the different regions of the world)
Product : Fudge's Dynamite Hair Finishing Treatment
Price : MYR49.00 at Shins
Application : For chemically damaged hair
Shelf Life : 12 months
One Tube of 150gms: Lasts for a maximum of 8-10 washes for shoulder length hair. Go figure.
You’re Such A Sexy MotherPucker!
I got my hands on this while I was in Bangkok! THANK YOU BOOTS Pharmacy.
It was sitting quietly looking pretty in a 'kitsch' Pink and with a name as cheeky as" Sexy Motherpucker", i ask you, which chick that easily gets intoxicated by makeup can resist?
It's a slim tube of lip enhancing wonder. Working well as a lip gloss and a lip plumper.
The greatest thing about this that it smells like chocolate! The lip plumper leaves a minty tingly sensation that feels like a very shy first kiss. Does it really work? Yes it does, I have incredibly full lips and just when I thought my lips couldn't get any sexier, this baby does the job. I've also run some testing on some friends and it works!
Though leaving a glossy finish, it can be rather sticky. Somewhat like Lancome Juicy Tube sticky that you'll have to keep your hair away from your face. So if you want to pose for that 'come get me boys' look with pouty lips and a couple of strands of hair in your face, this is not the gloss for you. It also may be a little too much to handle for sensitive lips (like all lip plumpers) so if there is a tester available, do test it out first
The verdict? Asides from the fact that it is only available at Boots Pharmacies (which I am praying will open in Malaysia very soon), It's surpasses the standard for a Pharmacy OTC product! I've bought two tubes to keep for myself already!
Product : Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker lip plumper and gloss
Price : 2890 Baht (~MYR30.00)
Application : For surreal sexy lips
Shelf Life : 12 months
One Tube : I've been using mine everyday since November and it's still great. Word has it that it can last up to a year in everyday use.
Choosing THE Dinner Gown
I'm getting Married in November, so obviously there's the planning and fussing around to do (and lots of spending, granted). I've got the day-gown out of the way, but planning what to wear for the dinner (and the cut, the design, since I haven't quite decided on whether it's a off-the-rack random or a custom made one from Pretty In White) is now on the top of lists to things to do.
Well it should have been a great time planning, since this IS awards season, but thanks to the cancellation of the Golden Globes, alas, I'm stuck with waiting for the Oscars, or on taking a stroll back in time.
April's told me that they've got some pretty cheap off-the-racks over in Bangkok btw, but for some reason, biased me is bent on believing that Bangkok cuts would probably be sequinful fit for a Shanghai cabaret, and I'm really not too keen so far. But there's definite some stuff I DON'T want to wear… and they're these:
So yah imagine yah walking down the dinner aisle in feathers (GOD FORBID!!), it's HERE COMES THE CHICKEN… tak boleh tak boleh!!
