When I was growing up, I always wish for a straight hair. Sleek, shiny and very long straight hair.
Then come my teenage years, my mom brought me to this salon who tried their very best to straighten all my natural and very virgin curls. They succeeded but it lasted for only 3 months so it became customary for me to have my hair straighten at least twice a year for the whole of my teenage life till early years of my working life. more…
Here I am drooling over these and thinking where I can pull out extra budget for these eye-candies. Yay! Probably because I have already reached my shopping quota for the whole year in terms of purses, shoes and clothes that I have began looking at Make-up again tee hee.
But who wouldn’t drool over these new NARS A Beautiful Life Palettes.
Very very nice addition to my work purses, they look like the perfect mini-briefcases for those complete everyday make-up palettes.

I initially planned on looking for rfid blocking wallets but guess what, I was lead to Kate Spade online sale page hee hee.
These Kate Spade vanity kits are so cute and the size is perfect for your cosmetics. And since, most of these are patent, they can easily be cleaned if not washed. Happy shopping, they are running some huge clearance sale and free shipping for this month.
Credit Card and Loan companies these days hire a 3rd party Debt Collection Agency who will do the collection for them. more…
I was checking new page at ProFlowers when I chanced upon this. Whee, time to buy those hair care products. I go to Ulta solely for my bedhead products and other haircare products. It’s about time I replace my almost empty haircare products bottle.
Everything 20% off Your Purchase at Ulta Starting tomorrow through July 31. All you need to do is use coupon code 51194.
I missed yet another important wedding, a wedding of one of my closest friends. M used to be my colleague, shuttlemate, neighbor, eating buddy etc… etc… and of course more than anything else, my son’s godmother. I was just super happy that before she got married, we had the chance to spend time together in NYC.
I was looking at her wedding photos earlier this morning and she was radiant and stunning. I bet she followed my advice to use the best under eye cream weeks before her big day. I am simply happy for her and G. Speaking of weddings, let me share this great entry I chanced upon in one of my favorite beauty blogs.
1. Avoid using products that contain SPF
2. Go light on the shimmer
3. Wax three days before the wedding
4. Skip lip gloss if you’re wearing a veil that comes down over your face
5. Don’t stray too far from your usual look
6. Bring oil blotting sheets with you
7. Use a foundation and eye primer
8. Consider using false lashes
9. Use waterproof mascara
10. Set your foundation with loose powder
I guess this is the Urban Decay pallette I have been waiting for. I missed out on the Alice in Wonderland pallette and this Vegan Pallette is another limited edition tsk tsk. Oh well, I should have written my article on acne scar removal instead of doing some online window-shopping! Happy weekend everyone!
Vegan Palette
Six of our best-selling shades also just happen to be vegan. Herbivore or carnivore, you’ll swoon for this palette!Sure, everything at Urban Decay is cruelty-free (meaning we don’t test on animals… ever!), but this palette is dedicated to our fervent vegan fans – those who “just say no” to using animal by-products of any kind. We have tons of vegan shades – over half our cosmetic line is vegan, but this is the first time we’ve created a palette using exclusively vegan Eyeshadows. Enjoy!
Throw away any misconceptions that a vegan palette would include ho-hum shades of drab shadows… NOT FROM US. Check out these vibrant teal and a silvery money-green eyeshadows, in addition to four rich neutrals. We’ve even included travel-sizes of Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin and 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero.
A closer look reveals intricate artwork of our favorite creatures big and small, all printed with soy-based inks on recycled packaging.
Fill Weight: Eyeshadows: 6 x 0.9 g e 6 x 0.03 US oz; Eyeshadow Primer Potion: 3.7ml e 0.13 US fl oz; 24/7 Eye Pencil: 0.8g e 0.03 US ozIngredients
Price: $34.00
Okay before you freak out.
Nope Lady Gaga turned Hello Kitty is not my Inspiration Look for the Week hee hee. I just had to share these photos (grabbed from Hello Kitty official FB Page) because the photos are amazing. Her make-up (special mention to those falsies) is excellent! AND her body yes, her body is perfect!!! I wonder how many belly fat burner pills she popped or is that a reflection of fitness discipline???
Now on to my Inspiration Look for the Week. Peaches and cream look. I want nothing but fresh this coming week as the weather is getting hotter and hotter each day!
