My First Groupon Singapore Purchase

OK, I know I has a blog talking about purchasing sites here in Singapore. I was so excited about those sites that I was not able to purchase anything yet, until now.

My first purchase was a threading session with Browhaus.

I've been waiting for this type of deal for ages! Good thing I saw it today. My voucher hasn't arrived yet but I am so excited already! At least I will have tame and nicely arced brows for my birthday. Hooray!

Loving ZA Cosmetics

I've been searching for the right make-up for me for as long as I can remember. I wanted a make-up that is not too pricey and right for my skin type. Good thing I saw the blog post of Makeup Stash about ZA Cosmetics.

After reading the blog post, I was convinced to buy ZA products already. So after work, I went straight to Watson's to check if the products that I wanted were available.

At first, I didn't see True White Plus Instant Brightener in the shelves but with the proper "rummaging" I saw it at the side.

I bought the primer/brightener, foundation and case and blush vibrante. I love the effect of the ZA products to my face. It has a matte finish that made me look fresh and flawless (chos!). Even Doms loved it. He said the make-up blended well in my skin tone (Doms: Ayus yung make-up hindi mashadong halata pero ok).

Here are some of my pictures using the ZA products that I bought.

OK, I know I don't know how to put make-up but this is the best that I can do. Next time, I will be buying the eye shadow and the mascara to complete my set.

Make-Up Wish List

I've never been a fan of make-up. I don't know how to apply make-up on my face. But seriously, I want to learn. In my free time at home, I usually search for make-up application videos just to give me an idea how to put the "thing" on my face. Yeah, LAME, right?!? But I wasn't really gifted with the talent of applying make-up.

But, don't get me wrong. I have tons of tubs and creams and powders in my bag. I even have a "make-up pouch" where I put them all. But, I don't know how to use them!

I started to use them make-up sets that I have just recently. I am not sure if I am doing it right but I really don't see it.

So, part of my "great transformation" plan, that I am not that aware of, is to buy these products. I mean, I'm not saying I will buy them all. These are just my wish list.

I know I need a complete set of make-up. So, I'm starting of with Shu Uemura's Face Base Mousse. It's like a primer in a form of a mouse for easy skin absorption. I like the pink one because it will give the skin a pinkish finish. A face base or a primer is the first step in applying make-up.

Shu Uemura's Face Base Mousse Costs 79sgd, bigat!

Next stop will be the face foundation. I wanted the one from MAC. I really think that MAC has a wide range of colors and palettes and I think I can have a foundation suitable to my skin tone.

Next, will be the blush. I haven't found the right blush yet but most probably I'll get the MAC Wonder Woman blush mates. I love the color range and the price seems reasonable.

So, I really hope that I can get the following make-up products. I a really excited already!

Addicted to Lip Balm

Last Saturday, Doms and I went to Marina Bay Sands to eat before going to the ArtScience Museum. The last time I was in MBS was in January when my family was here in Singapore. I know there were stores open already but Sephora was still closed.

I mentioned Sephora because it's the only store I know that sells Burt's Bees products. Ever since my Ate Bern introduced me to Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm, I was on a hunt to find a store that sells that here in SG.

Burt's Bees products range from lip care, to face creams, hair care and body washes. Their products are all made from natural ingredients. Even the coloring and scent that they use are all natural. I bought Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm and the Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer. I love them so much!

I am really not sure how my addiction to soft lips started. I just found my self buying different kinds of lip balms here in Singapore and applying them so often. I love how lip balms leave my lips subtle and moist. I hate it when I experience chapped lips because it really stings!

I just found out now that I have 5 types of Lip Balms inside my bag.

Clockwise from left: Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm, Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer, Nivea Cherry Lip Balm, an Unknown lip balm that my mom gave me but I assume it's Nivea too and Body Shop's Cherry Lip Balm Gloss

Truly, I am a lip balm addict!
