Holiday Special: Day 1 in Patong, Phuket Thailand! (May 2016)

Awesome first day in Patong Phuket! No guys, I'm not on holiday right now, this gorgeous holiday to Phuket, Thailand was from back in May for my boyfriend's birthday and was an advanced treat ahead of our 4 year anniversary which is in June. So I basically have two types of holidays I love, visiting busy cities or beach side towns! The last time I was in Phuket was a few years before the tsunami in 2004 when I was a child. I decided on staying in the much popular Patong area which is about half way down the west coast of Phuket Island.

On our first evening we checked into our gorgeous resort hotel which was a short walking distance to the main street. We headed straight to have a local dinner, check out the area around and we finished the night with cocktails and some minimart shopping!

Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Stick in 01 Fresh!

Clear Smooth BB Stick! For those who live in hot and humid weather all year round it can sometime be quite a pain to apply foundation when there's a high chance of it largely melting off through the day. BB creams and BB base products have become more common and popular as time has passed and is quite favored in Asia as the Asian types of BB creams tend to be very long lasting through the weather here. Considering stick foundations are known for being quick, easy to use and tend to have heavier coverage,  this product is the combination of BB formula and stick foundation!

Special: Celebrating Grandma's 82nd Birthday at Corner House!

Happy birthday Grandma! My grandmother turned 82 earlier this year in July and to celebrate I brought the family out to have a fine dining experience at the much famed Corner House. Some years ago as part of my apprenticeship for my Hospitality Culinary Diploma I was a trainee at a fine dining place at the very internationally known Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. The executive chef at the outlet I was at is now the chef and owner of Corner House which is located in the Botanical Gardens. It was only in recent months that Michelin Stars were given out in Singapore and Corner House was awarded one star! 

I'd actually been wanting to give Corner House a try for the last two years since it opened in 2014 but as time passed and I was so busy with life things that I didn't ever make it a reservation but knowing my grandmother's birthday was coming up I proposed to my family and we made it a date!

Cotton Candy Eyes and Ramen Dinner at Ippudo!

Candy colored eyes and rich ramen! Having worn mostly neutrals the last year for work the times I was free and going out I would do either simple but bold looks or more fun colorful looks! Here I did a cotton candy purple inspired look with a touch of blue which I love when it comes to eyeliner. For dinner my boyfriend and I had delicious rich bowls of super authentic ramen at the famous and popular Ippudo which is an International franchise specializing in Japanese ramen noodles! Since this trip, we have gone back two more times and would love to go back again!

Holiday Special: Day 4 in Bangkok, Visiting Chatucak Weekend Market! (March 2016)

Chatucak Weekend Market! No visit to Bangkok is complete without a visit to one of their large markets, the most famous being the Chatuchak Weekend Market! Located a walking distance from Mo Chit BTS, it houses more than 8,000 stalls and sees 200,000 visitors over the weekend which is when the market is fully open. It is open from 9am-5pm on the weekends and limited hours of 6pm-12am on weekdays. 

It's not recommended to go during the weekdays as only a tiny fraction of the stalls are open. The market is HUGE and you must get your hands on a map which is available at the police station on the way to the entrances from the train station or at the various entrances to the market.

Review: Kate Brown Shade Eyes in BR-3!

Brown shade eyes! Because there is literally no such thing as too many neutrals or variations of 'nude' shadows! This series of small eyeshadow palettes was available from the japanese drugstore brand kate the last two years but this particular design of shadow is no longer selling now in Singapore as I've noticed kate tends to over haul their small palette shadows every two years. I skipped the cool and warm toned palettes and gravitated straight to this gorgeous rose nude trio! All the palettes came with a 'fake shade' powder which is basically a small nose shading powder!
