Food: Home cooked pasta, steak, vietnamese spring rolls, pork chops and eats out! August 2012

Who doesn't love eating? If you honestly don't enjoy putting food down your gullet and don't find pleasure in tasting new textures and old favorites you need counseling! Food is a nessecary, it's an important part of our lives, daily choices, routine, culture and so on! Enjoy, have fun and be healthy!


Here's food bits of what I've been eating and making for the month of August! Thank you to my newest followers to helping me reach 100 followers! It's been a great time this last few months blogging and I promise to keep on doing so even when times get busy!

Review: Canmake Powder Cheeks Blush in PW25 Sugar Orange!

Blush baby! Throw them at me, one by one and please be gentle! I've been rocking blush quite often this summer and with more variations than I used to. I only used to love rosy shades but now after using a few peachy blushes I've noticed that they can look just as amazing on my skin!

Comparable to lancome subtil blushes, I've picked up some other shades from the Japanese brand Canmake before and these are pigmented, soft, silky and such great to wear blushes!

Summer looks & nails! (Smokey, neutrals & fresh~!)

Summer is not over! Or at least not here in hot humid Singapore! I feel like it's summer all year round and hence I was so depressed walking into the shops yesterday and noticing nothing but fall colors in the clothes. So dark, drab and sad! No more brights and neons and pops of colors everywhere!

Here's a compilation of eye make up looks I did throughout the summer, a lot of neutrals and lots of blush!

A mix of smokey, neutral eye make up looks and bright nail polish!

Gold eyeshadow really looks great on pale to tan and to deep skin tones!

Review: Barry M Dazzle Dust in shades 98, 89 & 51! (Petrol black, Oyster Grey, Mushroom)

Oh holy Dazzle dusts! These amazing things were acquired through a friend's uncle coming from the UK back in early June during my school graduation. I only asked for help to get three, thinking that the other products on my list would be bought as well.

Unfortunately many of the items weren't able to make it in the short time I gave my list out and so if I'd only known the Dazzle dusts were going to make it for sure I'd would have put down at least 10 and not 3!

Overall I'm very satisfied, my grateful for the help to get my first taste of such amazing British drugstore quality make up and three has been more than enough for now.

Rave Review: Peripera 'Very Nice Brush Eyeliner'!

Just a very quick rave review! This is the black liquid liner I've been using for the past several months! It's so quick, easy and stays put the whole day!

I can't rave enough about the ease of learning to use this for either a thin line, a winged tip or using it to draw! This may be the optimal solution for eyeliner for the petite asian eye!

Peripera Very Nice Brush Eyeliner...what a sweet name? Just so happens this is the best liquid liner I've used!

Exactly like the famous Dolly wink eyeliner in looks, the Peripera Very Nice Brush Eyeliner has a super fine tipped felt pen which is soft and flexible!

My late Summer shorts & tops haul~! (New look, H&M)

Here's a sizable haul of clothes I acquired in the recent month or so...I've lost some weigh over the last 6 months for most of you who don't know. In real life I don't seem to be as large as my weight as no one seems to be able to guess very accurately.

Being a big chubbier than all the other girls was an issue I was fine with growing up but buying clothes became such a big deal I used to wear nothing but oversized black t-shirts and large board shorts.

Ever since learning how to dress myself and developing a more adult figure, shedding kilos, I've never been so happy to buy clothes and being able to get smaller sizes than I would think I'd ever be able to wear has been such a relief and surprise.

Got most items on sale and had additional birthday and further discount at New look! Woo hoo! Smart shopping...so to speak!

Continue below for pieces from my favorite shop New look! And a few things from H&M!

Went a bit crazy picking up light weight, patterned, colorful and fun pieces for hot weather here in Singapore!

A meal at Broitzeit, make up bits & River Island news...!

Hiya all! I'm finally feeling better after several days down and sick with a runny nose, heavy head and my recurring sinus problems! Here are some shots of a meal I had with my mom a short while back.

I did a quick smokey purple look out that night. I also bought two shirts from the Sesame street store at work, one for me and the other for my dearest (I'm very glad he wears it proudly).

Continue below for my FOTD, food shots, make up bits and my last purchase from River Island before it closed down!
