Final haul for Dec 07?

Could this be my final haul for Dec 07? Not very sure as every day, there seem to be a sale here and there. But 1 thing for sure is these Milani Runway Eyes are definately beauties fo their own. I got them with the help of my makeup buddy who kindly let me hope onto their CP. Although 1 of them (the gold + green one) didn't seem to have managed the journey across the ocean well, I am still going to keep it for more admiration. *LOL* When my hubby goes over to US this coming Feb, will get him to replenish stocks for us!


These are the stuff which my makeup buddy helped me get on the 2nd day of the Prestige Warehouse Sale. Look at the gorgeous Paul and Joe stuff. Can't imagine how much they would cost if I have to pay full price for them in the stores. All credits must go back to my makeup buddy for her precious time and effort.

Baby's 3D scan

Today is a happy day as we finally get to see our little baby! It was a surprise as I didn't really want to go for the 3D scan as I was told by some that it will cost us a few hundred dollars. But today, my kind gynae actually offered to give me a 3D scan for free! All thanks to go this new 3D scan machine which they are evaluating in their clinic.

I am totally excited about this as it will mean that we might be able to see our little darling's face. But dear baby was not very cooperative during the scan and used his left fist to cover the left side of his face! *LOL* It looks as if he is deep in thoughts and doesn't want us to see his face too. The more the doc tried to take a better picture, the more he tried to hide away from us. Naughty baby. *LOL* But I am still very very happy with the scan. I can see that his ear takes after mine; the earlobe is fleshy, not like my hubby's. His chubby little fingers are so cute, and goosh, the knuckles. Guess that should take over his dad. Even his left shoulder looks ultra adorable to me. ;)

I am pretty excited now as I will popping next month. I wonder who will he look like more. Me or my hubby =P

Baby cot arrival!

The baby cot has arrived today! So excited. I ordered it about 3 weeks ago, and can't believe that it is finally here. I simply love the cot, although it took me forver to scout around for better prices/ discounts.

The teddy bear is given to my baby by my buddy. My buddy is very nice, she always think of others before herself.

The baby cot arrival also marks the final countdown to my delivery. I will be popping next month! How time flies. Simply can't believe it. As much as I look forward to holding my little baby in my arms, I also worry about everything under the sun now. I just hope that my baby will continue to stay in for a bit longer so that I have more time to prepare and clear my work before I go.

Prestige Warehouse Sale Nov07

It's the much awaited for Prestige Warehouse Sale! It was so crowded. Thank goodness my buddy and I arrived 5 mins just after they opened.

It was next to impossible to get near to the Paul & Joe counter throughout the whole sale, but at least we were able to grab some really good deals from Givenchy! Very happy with today's purchase. My favourite has to be the Paul & Joe makeup pouch 2007. It is $28, and the original price is more than $50 I was told. The Givenchy Crazy Pink Prism blush is another beauty. As it comes in a duo, I share the set with my buddy.

L'oreal Warehouse Sale Nov 07

Ok, I am pregnant so I can't afford to fight with other girls at the warehouse sale. So I took half day off yesterday to venture into the annual L'oreal warehouse sale at Expo. I arrived there at about 2:30pm, but was suprised to see that most of the items were already sold out. Didn't even see my favourite sheet masks, which I got so many last year!

The most interesting items I got are these Maybelline items (5 for $20). I like the dream mouuse, which I have one for eyeshadow and another one which is a blusher. Both perform really well. Anyway, there were really very limited quantity and colours at the sale, so I just grab what I feel I can use.

The cheeks duos are pretty cute, though a bit small in size. But at $4 each, can't complain.

I hope next year's sale will be more interesting. Will make it a point to go there first thing in the morning to get the best bargain! *wink*

Lunasol Party Coffret Set (Xmas 07)

This is the latest Lunasol Xmas 07 set which I got from Takashimaya yesterday. Lunasol makes really pretty (and worth getting) Xmas set every year.

This year, the set consists of 4 items (Lighting for eyes eyeshadow quad, Germinate Liner, Full Glamour Gloss and Shining Face colour). I wouldn't say the colours for the makeup is very outstanding, but at least they are easy to use colours for a natural look. In it goes into my Lunasol colletion right now!

Baby socks & hats

As I was saying, I took whole of friday off to R&R. I took the same time to meet up with my buddy in town for lunch. It was indeed great to be able to catch up with her. Bet that next time, I will have to carry my baby in my arms when I meet up with her during my maternity leave. *LOL*

After lunch, my buddy brought me to this wonderful shop called "Moo-Moo-Cow" at the Arcade. I actually found some really good buys there. Have been looking for baby socks forever! Found theses at $2/pair. Very sweet right?

I was told during my pre-natal class that babies need to wear hats to shelter them from UV rays and stuff. So I was really happy to find 2 hats (more like xmas hats) for my little darling. Only $3/each. I told KA that the red & white stripes hat will be worn during Chinese New Year. The snowman will be worn when he goes out. I am sure baby will be handsome in such lovely little hats. *wink wink*

MAC Finery Coral & Bobbi Pink Quartz

I took whole of friday off yesterday as I was pretty tired of my project and seriously needed a break. Since I needed to go for my checkup in the afternoon, I decided the spend the rest of the day R&R.

Just so happened my dear friend told me that MAC Finery sets are out. So I went the Isetan Scots counter to pick up my set in Coral. I would say that I am not a big fan of MAC, and I only started buying their stuff again last Xmas. But I am specially interested in this year's Antiquetease collection. I have already bought the warm palette and metallics palette about 2 weeks' back. This Finery set in Coral will be my last MAC item to be thrown into my Xmas shopping list.

Besides MAC, I also dropped by at Bobbi Brown to get my much lemmed after Pink Quartz Shimmerbrick. Oh, what a darling it is. So girlie and romantic! I was so excited about this release that I didn't even bother to try it on! *LOL* I was determined to try out the look on the cover girl in the Pink Quartz so in goes the Bronze Pink lipgloss into my shopping list.

Very happy with both purchases, although it's pretty scary to think that I bought all the above in less than 15mins' time! Women...

Bobbi Brown Pink Palette

This is another of my favourite, Bobbi Brown's Pink Palette & brush set. I got it from the airport duty with the help of a very kind friend. I love this palette a lot. The colours are very wearable and natural.

As you can see, I am a big fan of palettes. I think they are made to help save time when it comes to colour combination. But I also think that they are made for admiration too. *wink*

L'oreal collection

I realised I have lots of pics of my makeup collection. Might as well display them out all to enjoy the lovely colours.

This is my L'oreal collection. I got all of them during the end of the year L'oreal warehouse sale end of 2006. I think I got them pretty cheap at about 3 for $10 or about there.

IPSA warehouse sale 06 & 07

Part of my much-priced colletion. IPSA eyeshadow quads and lip palettes. I got them end of 2006 and early 2007 during the warehouse sale. Each quad only costs me $20 (original price is about $79/quad or palette).

I did try out the eyeshadow quad as I bought an extra one purely for use. The quality is really good and the powder is really fine. I would say $20 is really value for money. Too bad the warehouse sale seem to have stopped this year. *sad*

I have not managed to try the lip palettes yet. But they certainly look tempting. I doubt I will ever bear to use them.

Paul and Joe Summer Breeze

What caught my eyes at the very beginning is the name "Summer Breeze" and the adorable cut-out pic. My favourite colour is blue and I think it's pure luck that I came across it selling for only $10. This is from one of my favourite brands, Paul & Joe. I love it for its girly packaging and the lovely flower mortif on every compact. Summer Breeze is a very subtle blue colour eyeshadow. I doubt I will ever bear to use it, so I will keep it for pure admiration from time to time.

Found this Paul and Joe colour imagination card from my PC. Aren't they lovely?

Open Ceremony!

Open ceremony today!

I have decided to start a blog to talk about my baby and shopping after much delay. Been busy shopping and shopping for baby ever since I knew I was pregnant. But only left with 2 months and it's my due date. I thought I should hurry up and throw in all the big items which I didn't manage to get. A picture of the stuff which KA and I have bought for baby so far. A bit scary right? The baby Aprican Pram is the latest addition to the list of items which we got for him. I have been eyeing on it forever but didn't want to get it as it's quite expensive at $399. But after much thoughts and talk with KA, we have decided to get it since Aprica pram is so easy to fold and use.



Next item which we bought yesterday is this really cute Old Navy baby blanket and romper at Clementi Centre yesterday. Only cost me $10. The baby blanket is so soft, I bet baby will love it when I wrap him around with it.
