Beauty for a Living

I am getting excited about the makeup/ beauty blogging world. I learnt so much from everyone and I love looking at all the makeup pics. It's just fantastic!

And guess what, there is even a contest to join. Here is the latest one from "Beauty for a Living". A Shu Makeup Brush Set to be worn. How generous and kind of the beauty writer!

Wish me luck! ^_^

Jarell's Montage for 2008

Goosh, I can't believe that it's already April 2009! I have not been updating my blog for the past 6 long months. Oh no, is this a problem faced by all mummies?

I was supposed to post Jarell's montage here 4 months ago when he was 1 year old.... (^_^;)

Now here is Jarell's recent picture taken at the Botanical Gardens. He loves to pick up leaves. I think he will make a good helper in the garden ;)

Ayumi Hamasaki with Wacoal

I am not a fan of Ayumi Hamasaki actually. I saw her adverts in a HK mag a few days back. Found the pictures very beautifully taken. Make her look very feminine in a subtle way. Not exactly sexy, but nice.

Makes me feel like buying the Wacoal lingerie now =D

MAC Holiday 2008: Passions of Red Collection

This is the Holiday 2008 collection from Mac. 4 lovely eyeshadow palettes in a lovely red jewel casing. But now wait a minute, how comes the smoky palette looks so familiar to the one I got last year?? Hmm.. Are they trying to recycle or what? Of the 4 palettes, the only one which interests me is the classic eye palette. Which is a real surprise, considering that this palette has a metallic green and a metallic blue in it. But the other 3 palettes are a bit boring this time round. So that's why i got the classic eye palette.

Dior Night Diamond Case

I love xmas. It's the time of the year when there are so many lovely things to look out for. This Dior Night Diamond Case is darling. A silky powder with shimmers for an all-over glow. How lovely! I love it!

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Nude palette

I have been waiting for this quite some time. Very happy that I managed to get it in town while I was out with my hubby. Going to town nowadays is a luxury. It's difficult to leave the house when you have a baby at home. =P

Anyway, I am into nude and natural colours. This is my 'dream palette' so to say. It costs me a whoopy $89, but well, Xmas is coming.... in 2 months? Make it a Xmas present.. er.. an early one then! =)
