Nail Art is Not for me!

I tried Nail Art for the first time in Singapore. I was shopping all day and I wanted to just sit down somewhere and just get pampered. So I popped into the first nail spa I saw. The lady next to me was doing something glittery so I just told the girl to do the same thing- I was too exhausted to think! They gave me a drinks menu with lots of tea options- my favourite! I chose a green tea and put my head back to enjoy my pampering session.

The end result was kind of ewwww...ahhaah don't know what I was thinking. Maybe it's because my hands are gross- I have stubby hands and fingers and really bad nails to start off with! This nail art did not do my hands any favours!

I couldn't wait to peel off those diamond studs- they felt like pimples on my finger nails- so yuk!

Anyway, I have been trying this new new lipstick by Bloop. I bought it at the Singapore Airport. It's an invisible lipstick which reacts to heat on your lips and changes to a bright pink colour! How fun!

It is very very pink- just something fun to do! The formula is oily and feels like lipgloss. The smell is not my cup of tea either! Like expired lollies? But otherwise its a very good moisturising lipstick.

Hooray! I am Back Online!

I have been offline for the last month- anyone using iiNet? It's a pain for sure- especially when you are trying to plan a wedding overseas and they keep disconnecting you all because we moved houses!

Anyway onto more happier things! Thank you for all your comments on our wedding- it really made me so happy:) Here are some happy pics from our marriage ceremony (this was before the actual wedding day!) We did a simple ceremony at the registration office. I was so nervous!

Yay! It's official!

Don't know what I was doing with my dress! ahahha I think I was nervous and had nothing else to do. There was a lot of waiting around.

Straight after was my dreaded Hen's Night. My sister was organising it and she is a much more outgoing person than me and I was scared she was going to do the usual strippers, lots of drinking and the typical things we do at Hen's Nights!

So I was pleasantly surprised when she did exactly what I wanted- a tea dinner party with no strippers or anything of the sort! Phew! I didn't have to wear a veil or anything sparkly and humiliating- just a big bow headband! The closest thing to a phallic symbol was this cute strawberries dipped in chocolate! ahahha Thanks Tash! They were yummy!

More yummy finger foods courtesy of Natasha- so talented!

Here was a surprise for me- there were drawing stands outside....

What are we drawing??

A naked man! ahah I knew my sister will think of something raunchy- but ummm it was an older man. She requested for someone young and good looking but oh well....it was interesting!

Had a teacher showing us the ropes of Chalk drawing. I really enjoyed it!

Afterwards we had a dinner- my sister managed to get a good looking chef to cook for us! He should have been the one posing for us for our chalk drawing lesson! ahha

I love the decor- she made it a "Shelley in Wonderland theme" and I honestly think it rivalled my wedding day!

Chef making the desserts- looking great!

I can never get sick of chocolate dessserts and this one was really delicious.

Thank you to the girls who organised it! It was a real fun night and great catching up with everyone:)

I'm Finally Married!

I am back! It's been a very busy holiday + wedding:) I had a real blast with all my friends and family. Just want to say thank you to everyone that was there and those who couldn't make it- thank you for all your support and for being there in spirit:)

Just want to share a few photos- the first two are awesome photos taken by Louis Pang. He is quite the genius and I am loving what I see so far and can't wait to see the rest!

Good thing we had good weather that day. Previous two days was pouring down with rain!

Thanks to all for being there!

"Take Me"??? haha that was funny:)

.......and we lived happily after! (Hopefully!)

Update: No Internet again! :(

Sorry for the lack of posts lately! My internet provider accidentally cancelled my connection:( Must be from moving houses and they got confused and cancelled our account. So annoying- I have to wait another 3 weeks to get connected again! By that time I will be in Malaysia and getting married- I can't believe I will be married in two weeks time!

My wedding dress didn't fit last week when I tried it on so I have been on a super slimming program of eating nothing more than a fist size portion of food each meal time. I tell ya now it is the hardest thing for me to do! Especially when I will be in Singapore next week! So sad- I love the food in Singapore! I manage to lose one kilo which may be enough- just so I can breathe in my dress! haha:P

Just want to wish everyone a very very merry xmas and a happy happy new year!

Will post more after the holidays and there will be wedding pics and lots more posts next year!

Happy hoildays!

I wish I could enjoy a snowing Christmas one day instead of a hot one!

My Head is Full Of Alice!

Right now, everything in my life is just weddings wedding weddings. I will be so glad when it is all over. I know it sounds really bad- it isn't really haha but I am tired of planning. I just want the day to come quickly because I am excited and can't wait to get married now. I think a year of planning is wayyy too long.

I am dreaming about Alice in Wonderland nearly every night! It's crazy! ahha I even watched the cartoon just get ideas for my stationery and cupcakes etc etc. No wonder! :P

Alice in Wonderland movie is coming out next year and it looks very different from the Disney version! Tim Burton style! I think it might be a bit scary? ahha for kids anyway. I was scared when I first watched the cartoon- yeah I know....I am a wuss:)

The characters look great- although I am not sure why is there a White Queen and a Red Queen? Isn't there only supposed to be a Queen of Hearts? Maybe I didn't do enough reseach!! haha No thanks- I am Aliced out!

Off topic- I used my French & Fabulous Palette again. This time I used the "Poodle Puff Raisin & Poodle Puff Pink". Love the names! hehe

Also tried the Revlon Colourstay Liquid Liner instead of the usual BBrown Gel Liner. I must say- the black is very intense and the little ink pot is easy to use and not messy at all. I am using the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation which is too light for me. I thought I picked up my Laura Mercier Foundation- they look very similar!

Something I've been snacking on- it's a Korean version of "Hello Panda" but not as tasty!

Yummy sushi from Yoshiya in Perth! It's my fave Japanese restaurant at the moment. Everything tasted yummy!

I know majority of the people who commented on the Lash Injection Vs Smoky Lash (previous post) have picked the Lash Injection as the preferred mascara. But....I am still in love with my MUFE Smoky Lash? I soooooo miss it! It's too bad they don't sell it here in Perth. :(

Here is what Fatinexx had to say about it- she loves it too:)

Lash Injection Mascara Vs Smoky Lash

Ok, here is a comparison of two similar mascaras (they both claim to be lengthening & volumising)

  Makeup Forever Smoky Lash ......

Too Faced Lash Injection......

Please let me know what you think? Which one is better? Sorry the lighting is so yellow! I have to remember to change my globe!

I finally got to use my French & Fabulous Palette- I used the top two colours for my eyes (Totally Toasted Brown and Beige) and also the Pink Leopard Bronzer........

  Can't wait to try the rest:)
