Handbag haul: Charles & Keith summer collection!

Handbag haul time! Yes, it has been a long long time since I did major damage in the hand bag department. I rarely buy new bags, for one, they can be quite pricey in Singapore even if it's a no name accessory brand bag. One brand that I always gravitate towards for their beautiful designs and super well made qualities and fun and modern designs is local home grown brand Charles & Keith. 

It's a singaporean brand that was started by Singaporeans and is actually very popular in south east asia, they even have stores all over the world which is impressive as Singapore has very few internationally known brands! Another singapore brand is Rachel K for her CC cream which has exploded in the international beauty world!

Gradient Purple Princess look! (dinner at Din Tai Fung)

Purple Princess! I've always loved blues and greens for colorful eyeshadow looks but now and again I love dipping into purples! I did this pure purple look using the purples from my coastal scents 36 smokey palette! I unfortunately didn't take photos of all the products I used but do enjoy my photos from dinner!

Review: P2 Sheer Glam Lipstick in 071, 011, 090! (Mona Lisa Smile, French Kiss, Sex and the City)

Sheer Glam Lipstick! I realize that many ladies who don't wear bright shades are not used to the color or don't enjoy the texture of lipstick. I'm sort of one of those ladies who loves brights on the lips but only decides to go full on lipstick on days where my lips are 'feeling' good or when I'm in the mood for being okay with maintenance as I've got dry lips that peel especially when there's product on them!

These three beautiful lippie were part of a swap I did with the lovely Pam from Jade in the Palace blog! She helped me get these lippies to try as I had seen her review P2 lipsticks on her blog before and they looked great! Check out the swap here!

Skincare review: The Face Shop Smart Peeling Jelly Apple Peeling wash!

Jelly Apple wash! I'm someone who is easily fascinated by products that use plant or fruit extracts or ingredients, I guess we just all like to think that if it has something natural in it, it should be good for us! I have been trying out a couple different jelly 'peeling' face washes which are meant to help exfoliation of the top layer of dead skin cells without being rough on the skin. This was the first of a few I've tried so far.

Berry explosion look using Urban Decay Deluxe palette! (Fishnet, ransom, peace, scratch)

Berry explosion! For some reason I can actually imagine a mix of berry jams of purples, blues and reds exploding on someone's face when I thought of the name for this look! However my look is nowhere that abstract or artistic! I was in the mood for something light, bright and pretty. I wanted to someone use a few of the purples in my Urban Decay deluxe palette and this is what I came up with!

Rave Review: Heavy Rotation Perfect Liquid Eyeliner in Deep Black 01!

Perfect liquid eyeliner? I've tried now at least 5 Asian brands of liquid eyeliner and all of them have been great in different ways but my favorite type has to be the ones with a soft nylon fiber tip. Those eyeliners are the ones that are the easiest to draw a smooth line without any drag, pull or effort at all. I'm not a fan of felt tips or pencil eyeliners for the upper lash line.

I have repurchased my favorite Kiss me heroine eyeliner already 4 times and after trying a K-palette eyeliner and being disappointed by how it performed after a few months I was ready to try a new brand of eyeliner! Isn't it funny how so many brands of asian eyeliners have the word "perfect" in their names?

Pink and brown brightening eyes with purple lips! (1028 Brownie Eyes palette)

Brownie eyes and purple lips! Yes, yes....I know I suck with coming up with names for looks, I am not creative in that sense at all! This was something I made when getting ready for a casual date evening with my boyfriend! I wanted to dig into my new 1028 Brownie neutral palette and then I wanted a hot pop of color on my lips!

Purple lips has something I've been interested in, as long as it's berry or pink based I'm quite happy with this sort of wearable purplish lip color! NYX Butter Gloss came to my calling!

Home made Lasagna and lemon butter cake with glaze!

Dinner and Dessert! How many of you ladies cook home made meals at home? Well, I hope I'm not the only one! Besides having been trained to cook in school and having worked in a few kitchens I've always cooked at home or helped out with cooking. In the last year I've made so many yummy dishes at home by myself or with my boyfriend who also loves food and making it.

I decided I wanted a traditional lasagna with bechamel and lots of cheese and a tasty meat ragout inside! That I left to my boyfriend to take care of, while I made a lemon butter cake I saw on a blog!
