Wedding Dinner's FOTDs

I attended two weddings over the weekend. Very exhausting I would say, but it was fun prettying up yourself for dinner :)

For the first wedding, the colour code for the guests were black, white or pink. Well, I wore a black floral dress that sort of fits into the theme. Anyways, I matched the blacked dress with dark greyish smokey eyes. The wedding reception was small and the venue was a romantic setting with ribbons and cupcakes. Lovely!



That's me at home still in my tees...XP



Items used are as listed below:

MAC Assemblage Quad

So, for the next wedding, with no theme, I just paired my eye makeup with whichever dress I wear for the dinner. I selected a cute baby doll lacey purple dress and went with a purple smokey makeup.

Hauls of New Year

New Year usually marks new beginning for most people. Well, New Year means purchasing new stuffs to start the new year afresh for Chinese(that's for Chinese New Year though, and it applies to cosmetics too!). Some of my friend's new year resolution is to become prettier, change hair style, change fashion style and anything that applies to becoming a better self, hehe...

Back to my hauls, I have been wanting to show off my new Urban Decay Book of Shadows II for the longest time. Brought back from US just a few days ago, I have been admiring it endlessly. The colours are all wearable and very pigmented, there are a wide variety of colours; from neutrals to smokey, warm tones to cool tones...most of all they come with two mini 24/7 eyeliners in zero and bourbon! The travel size UDPP is a plus. The large mirror comes in handy too :)

The ultra Urban Decay haul. You must be wondering why I buy so many UDPPs. Well, they're for my friends XP

FOTDs coming soon with this palette. I can smell it! :D

Just want to compare the new and old UDPP package, the new one is so much nicer!


Warm & Cozy just hit Penang shores recently. I was disappointed to know that there are many missing items on the counter. The tinted lip conditioners which I wanted badly was not there. But the must have from the collection is 2N lipglass, a repromote from the previous N collection. I'm still thinking of whether to get myself Siss and Warm Me Up lippies. They're are so lovely!
