i can sing this song without looking at the lyrics. /:

i dont think ive ever mentioned this on my blog or anywhere publicly before, so today im going to share with all you loyal readers my holy grail - the reason why i never get pimples anymore.

the only time i get them is due to hormonal changes, the extra oily skin when your period is nearing. you know it when youre about to get a full blown massive in your face pimple the night before. that part of your skin feels slightly swollen and painful, but you dont see the ugly red bump till the next morning right? i stop them from popping out with this:

ettusais pre-acne care sheet. (50 sheets in a box)

it comes in a patch with slits that fits nicely on your chin, nose, basically anywhere where zits are capable of rearing their ugly heads in. i use then diligently at the first sign of a pimple (about twice daily) and it will flatten without peeling/redness/scars like how a conventional pimple cream does. this prevents the pimple from coming out instead of drying it out when it's already a catastrophe on your face.

i also dab on some of this ettusais pimple gel after i remove the patch for added protection/healing (helps when sometimes the pimple is faster than an unsuspecting you) i really like this since it does not cause extreme peeling since red peeling skin is hard to conceal with a concealer.


these are definitely my fave ettusais products (sherry knows it the best since i rave about them to her when i collect them every month. heh.) give them a try too, who knows, you might be pimple-free too! (:
stay pimple-free HERE.

ps-no wednesday liberations today. SO BUSY!

a week back jayne and i went to get our nails done, courtesy of WINK NAILS@ALT and ettusais. WINK NAILS are the first in Singapore all the way from Japan, offering soft gel nails that lasts 3-4 weeks instead of the conventional 2-3 weeks. also, the soak off time is only a mere 5-10mins with zero nail damage.

here's everyone including yuko my nail artist chipping in suggestions for my nais! i love how helpful and meticulous their service is.

jayne and i with founder of Wink Nail, Shino Iwasaki. She's super cute!

here's the result! i did a light pink colour gradient, with peacock design on alternate nails, together with stones and hologram for a blinged up effect.

i love how glossy it looks, and best of all, sturdy. ive had chicken wings twice and my nails do not chip and neither will the stones fall!

they also feel natural so it doesnt hinder my daily chores. love them! thanks ettusais and WINK NAIL.

do check them out at heeren ALT level 3! price list available there.

oh, i just realised i totally forgot to post last wednesday's liberation up, they were saved as draft sitting nicely waiting to see the glow of the internet's rays.

I will not stop buying accessories, all sorts. in fact i think i spend most of my money on them.
(but they can get a little tricky since ive got tiny wrists and fingers)




am currently loving these lolcats all over again.




i want to get a nicely fitted leather jacket after finding as awesomely cut one the other day but i'll be insane to wear it in Singapore's weather. (but but but, its the rainy season now, perhaps...)




wednesdays of love, will and want.

one of the greatest true blue american books of all times for me.
rumors has it that a movie for this book is going to be made. with kristen stewart as mary lou and kristen dunst as camille. please dont fuck this up for me hollywood.

it's friday night and im stuck at home with a fever.i have since guzzled down 2 cans of 100plus and am on the verge of trying my friend's tried and tested remedy of beer with two pinches of salt. anyone else has home remedies you swear by? i might try it if it doesnt sound too dodgy and gross (like a blended happy meal set). anyway, i have to show you this cute bag i just received courtesy of a blog reader. it's from her shop,
herssincerely
i love the intense shade of blue tons! it was extremely sweet of her to also send me this top. i love comfy soft shirts! (if you read of one my wednesday liberations) its an obsession, one can never have enough sheer white shirts.

i think these items are already sold out but you have to check back weekly, she has new goodies up every weekend!

oh, i also have awesome looking gel nails right now which i want to flaunt but because i think my fever has burnt up certain parts of my brain, i shall save it for another day. here's a sneak peek:

okay, going to twiddle my thumbs till i fall asleep now, bye!

i have my winners for the ettusais giveaway! but i must first say, everyone deserves to win because i honestly loved reading all your inventions and hopefully ONE DAY, one of you will make your creative beauty product come true! i will be your number 1 fan. (:

okay, so the winner is....

AMANDA, 22

her invention:
A Molemizer - to shrink and conceal/fade moles.

why i liked it: if it can shrink and fade moles imagine the wonders it will work on pimples and eye bags??

my two other winners of the cutest answers:

AILEEN, 25

her invention:
eye shadow palettes that would change colour in different lightings.

why i liked it: transition eyeshadows! think smokey eyes in the night and sweetheart in daylight! perfect for the friday after work drinks!

MEITING, 23

her invention:
porefect vanishing pen - a wand that vacuums out blackheads and simultaneously sprays an essence to close the pores.

why i liked it: who doesnt have blackheads? it's tedious to extract blackheads (or vacuum it out, there's one blackhead vacuum by philips) and then cleanse and apply your serums. an all-in-one will save me much time!

i will be contacting you girls soon via email (hopefully by tonight). (:

oh, i also have 2 makeover vouchers by ettusais to give away, so i'll randomly pick 2 girls who submitted their inventions. will be emailing you lovelies hopefully by tonight too!

i have a lot of other stuff such as my new bag and my super cute manicure to show all of you but im busy! i know i missed out my wednesday liberations yesterday too. ): i gtg do my work now, but I WILL BE BACK.

sometimes, i feel like this.

thanks for submitting all your super cute and creative answers for the giveaway girls! it's SO hard to choose the 3 winners. if i could i'd let all of you win, all your answers are golden. anyway, will be contacting the lucky winners by thursday night, check your mailboxes! (:
