Singapore Flyer's Auspicious Trail to "HUAT" big time this Lunar New Year

And right after my 2011 "To do" list, here's a awesomely Auspicious post!

Come on! it's the Lunar New Year guys! get over your jingle bells gift opening mood already!!

Time for Mahjong, Good food, Red packets and Yu Sheng!!

For those that do not know what is Yu Sheng, Its actually raw fish with shredded vegetables, topped with sour plum sauce in short raw fish salad. Sounds "yucky" but it's taste extremely good and it's even better when its the only dish "i think" that brings friends and family together to do the tossing or mixing of the ingredients. It is usually served during the Lunar New year as it symbolizes good luck for the new year.

And this Lunar new year, Singapore Flyer is giving Prosperity and Good fortune for all with a brand new experience! Collaborating with Feng Shi Master Vincent Koh, Singapore Flyer 's Auspicious trail promises to harness the right "chi" (positive energy) that guarantees prosperity, good fortune and longevity.

Visitors will receive Heaven Chi ( 天气) when their capsule is at the peak of 165 metres. After the 30 minutes flight, visitors will get Earth Chi ( 地气) at the Wishing Well. To complete the auspicious trail, visitors have to toss coins and sound the Lucky Gong to improve Human Chi ( 人气).

And here's some photos of the Yu Sheng Flight experience:

And when we reach the perk, we toss!

Tossing aftermath: Yummy Yu Sheng!

After the Yu Sheng and Heaven Chi, Its Earth Chi and Human Chi:

Wishing Well

Make a wish and toss the coin to improve your Human Chi

And before i go..... here is a short clip of the Yu Sheng Experience:

Singapore Flyer will also be having a whole list of events this lunar new year. Do check out their website for more details.

Recap 2010 and 2011 To do list

It's the new year..and here is my 19 days late new year resolution post!!

ok recap 2010..

Let's first start with checking how many 2010 new year resolution have i fulfill.

2010's resolution

Finish my degree in march - Outcome: I fucked one of the papers so! i'm still struck with my degree till i'm pass that paper....

Save up for my make up course and start my make up course by dec 2010 - Outcome: Check out my Certificates!!

Yes!I've saved enough money for Fashion and Bridal make up in MakeUpForever Academy! The courses and the tools sure cost me a bomb but i'll say it's all worth the money! I've get the sweetest, prettiest, most talented and the most encouraging trainer anyone could ever ask for! She answers to all my dumb ass questions whether or not it's within what she needs to teach!

After my courses i'm lucky enough to have the chance to work with photographers and models and here are some pictures.

May not be the bestest you have ever seen, but still i've tried my best and most importantly i'm still learning PLUS improving!

Blog MORE and Attend more events - Outcome: Yes i've blogged more! 2009, i've got 110 posts and 2010, i've got 132 posts... counting the number sounds very retarded cause it's really quality over quantity but i dare say my 2010 posts are better than 2009!!! so yah..

Last item on my 2010 resolution list, Do more MU tutorials!!- Outcome: Fail!!! why, cause i seriously cannot overcome the fact that i have to stare into the mirror to do my make up so.. yah if you dun understand try putting a camera infront of you, stare into the mirror, do your makeup and try to stay in view.

Apart of my 2010 resolutions, some of the other achievements are

1st: i've successfully downsize myself from uk size 12 to now uk size 8!!!!!Yayness!!!

how i do it??? it's really diet disciple.. example: once i had a friend asking me how i slim down, i told her i "quit" eating rice. She replied "i've quit eating rice for more than 5 years but i'm still this "big" *she is really not very big*. During lunch, i realized the reason: she had beef and i had beef too no difference BUT! i had cranberry juice and she had latte! so yah reason is pretty obvious.

2nd: I've took part in several blogging challenge this year and fortunately for me i've won 2 of them. 1st is the most recent Vichy Normderm Anti imperfection contest and 2nd is the Bioessence Celebrity's choice Inch Loss series blogger challenge. And, i own these to all my supportive friends and readers cause all the rallying for votes and all is seriously turning irritating!

So in general 2010 was a pretty good year.

NOW it's the big 2011 "To Do" list!!!

1st: take up hair styling course! coz without knowing how to style hair, i feel like i broke an arm.

2nd: Be more hardworking! i need to go back to the academy more for practice!

3rd: MOST importantly! pass my last paper and get my ass off that school!!!

4th: BE A HAPPIER PERSON =D

ok i wish everyone well and till next time.....

Blings with Wink Up Eye Color Wand

Apply a light shimmery eyeshadow at the inner corners of your eyes to give the illusion of bigger brighter eyes...Quoted from many many youtube gurus...

And having sparkly inner eye corners seem to be the trend on the streets of Singapore now. But i'm pretty sure that light shimmer eyeshadow requires you to touch up every few hours even with the best eyeshadow primer and to have even the tiniest additional item in that overly populated make up pouch is a serious pain in the ass plus apart from the eyeshadow you need a brush or any applicator *dun tell me i can use my fingers! unless you have small and pointy finger*

Eternity Inter-Trade (Singapore) Pte Ltd had included this little Wink up eye color wand in their parcel to me for review. *i know i take forever!*

But nonetheless, it's here!!!

Wink up Eye color Wand in Gorgeous Gold!

Its kind of like an "automatic" sponge tip applicator. The gold shimmer is actually found on the lower part of the stick where you screw it on the applicator as a cap or cover. So as you screw your Shiny eye color wand out for use, the shimmers are already on the applicator and if the shimmer runs out simply place your eye color wand back in to the cap and give it 2 gentle tap.

Pointed tip for easy application

I'm liking this product cause i have got really sensitive eyes, even the tiniest fall out from the eyeshadow could cause redness in my eyes. And, i need to keep my eyes open for me to get my inner eye corner done. So with the Wink up Eye color wand, there are no fall outs and the applicator tip is pointed! giving me better access to the " hard to reach" areas.

Next, the gold shimmer from the Eye color wand is super intensive! It is actually seen as grey or silver on the sponge tip and in the cap. But once applied, the color turns into shimmery gold! Not only that the color super intensive, the color glides on to the eyes easily and stays there through out the day no smudge no boobooz..

I even had some of that shimmer just below my eyebrows as highlight!

All is good for this product, but like all sponge tips, the applicator is able to catch foundation or whatever you have on before using it. To avoid that, simply make sure that you have enough products on your applicator and apply with a gentle hand...

Intensive gold to brighten lazyass make up!

Elishacoy first tea party, product review and mini giveaway.

The last tea party of the year for me BUT to Elishacoy it's their first tea party! I was invited to their little tea party hold in dressing area at ALT@ Heeren by Kiyora the PR person of Lush Beauty and fellow blogger Sharon.

Elishacoy, a Korean cosmetic brand that uses only natural botanical extracts with high technological production methods. Elishacoy is a highly dignified organic skin care that maximizes the skin self-survival ability since its products are mainly made of herb extracts called 'the essence of botanical healing' and it only contains natural aroma extracted from 100% natural essential oil.

Here a range of BB creams by Elishacoy but the STARS at the tea party was the Diamond Shiny Pearl BB cream, Softfinish Mineral Powder and The Style BB cream for Men

Different BB creams by Elishacoy

Stars of the day:
Left, Diamond Shiny Pearl BB cream
Center, Softfinish Mineral Powder
Right, The Style Platinum BB cream for Men

Elishacoy Soft finish Mineral Powder

No swatch for the Elishacoy Soft finish Mineral Powder as the powder was so light that to me it seem alittle translucent. The Soft finish Mineral powder feels really fine and it is easily glides on to your skin when applied. This powder is best paired with the Diamond Shiny Pearl BB.

Elishacoy Diamond Shiny Pearl BB cream with SPF 27 PA++

Known for it's 2 in 1 function, the Elishacoy Diamond Shiny Pearl BB cream contains 7 different jewelry complex (namely, Amethyst, Pearl, Coral, Tourmaline, Jade, Diamond and Amber) which gives skin that very nice sparkly effect. I could literally see shimmers on my face and even on my fingers after applying the Diamond Shiny Pearl BB cream on my face!

And as you are thinking that this bb cream is the common "able to give you shiny but not coverage" bb cream. Think again! This 2 in 1 make up is able to give you that alluring shiny pearl base + 3D pint-based makeup and it also helps to cover slight blemishes.

Apart from Jewelry complex, it also contains natural Phyto Therapy which is the extract of 6 fruit flower that helps to reinforce moisture and Centella asiatica which is a plant found in Africa that helps soothes irritation and increases the self- nurturing ability of skin.

Heavy Swatch of Elishacoy Diamond Shiny Pearl BB cream

Left pic, spread alittle
Right pic, Can you see the sparkles?

The swatch of the Diamond Shiny Pearl BB cream may seem heavy and thick. However, it is just creamy and after applying it evenly over my face, it's just like a tinted moisturizer. If you are not the biggest fan of sparklers or afraid that even the slightest glow may turn you face into a disco ball then simply just set the BB cream with powder. I would say this bb cream is good for evening makeup cause it actually gives you that sparkly glamorous look but for day make up what i do was to mix the Diamond Shiny Pearl BB cream with another normal bb cream. This will tone down the shimmers alittle but still able to get that shiny look. The only complain i have with this bb cream is that it only comes in the small tube shown in the picture! Major sadness!

Next, BB cream for Men! yes, nowadays woman need to work harder cause men are trying to look better then us. But then again girls, who doesn't like a pleasant looking person...

I didn't manage to get a photo of the style platinum bb cream but it can be seen in the 2nd picture of this post. It comes in a brown tube with silver and orange wordings so no excuse for your boyfriend to say its girly!

And like all bb creams, The style Platinum is also multi functional. It not only covers blemishes and even out your man's skintone. It contains Nano Platinum technology to help with wrinkle improvement, Eucalyptus extract to restore damaged skin, Ivy extract to help with pore cleansing pores and also it controls skin balance between oil and moisture, etc.

The texture of this bb cream is similar to the emulsions in japanese skincare. It alittle watery and very very lightweight. So your boyfriend can now have good skin and not feel cakey. And, it has also got SPF 30 PA++ if your boyfriend loves hanging out...under the SUN!!!
