FOTD: BROWN

GOOD FRIDAY FOTD: Are we suppose to wear make up on Good Friday?

I originally planned to take my little one to Nottingham Castle to visit uncle Robin (yes, the one in tights ;)) (Hahahaha! Sis Nikki!) but its started raining soon as we stepped out the door. (Grrr!). So I took my little one for a quick lunch at Pizza Hut (it was a nightmare waiting to get served... it was packed!) hoping that it would stop as we finished eating but it didn't. I looked at my little one's disappointed face and I asked him if he would want to do something else since it wasn't a good idea to take him to the castle when it was raining but he just pouted :(... So, I had to think of something else and remembered they're showing Monster vs Alien in town on 3D so I asked him if he would want to watch indeed and his face instantly brightened up... bless his little heart :) Anyway, we both enjoyed the film but I had to stop him from squeeling as he was a little too loud. It wasn't only him who reacted that way, I must admit... the other kids were doing it too :).

Anyway, as I never dare leave my house without make up on, I've decided to wear somthing neutral and as I was deciding which make up and colours to wear, I saw my Versace lipstick and lipgloss in my train case and wore them. Here was I came up with...

Can I just say that as I was putting my make up on, I sort of revived my 90s when brown lipstick was 'IN'. Anyone in the Philippines would probably remember it... not unless you were about 8 at that time hahahaha! I'm that old as you can see hahahaha!

Again, my photos came out to be on the pale side... Grrr! When do I get it right?

This FOTD will probably get slated and I might end up regretting that I posted this but... hey ho!

For my eyes, I wore Too Faced Eye Shadow Dou in George and Wheezie

On my cheeks, I wore Too Faced Dou-Sided Blush Compact in Creme Brulee (Both from my last year's make up collection)

On my lips, I wore Estee Lauder lipliner in Mocha Writer, Versace Senusal Glam Lipstick, topped with Versace Wet Cream Lipgloss

FOTD: VERSACE MAKE UP

>>>FOTD: VERSACE MAKE UP + JEMMA KIDD PLUM WARDROBE REVISITED>>>

Hello everyone! Just another post on my make up trials. This time, I thought I'd post about my new Versace Foundation and Compact Powder. I won't be blabbing a lot this time :P as I don't want to bore you, people ;)

Enjoy browsing the photos below and I know that sis Nikki (askmewhat) will compare the quality of this make up to the previous ones ;)... Hello sis Nikki!

TTFN!!!

Armani Make Up: 2nd Trial

>>>FOTD: ARMANI MAKE UP (THE 2ND TRIAL)>>>

Sis Nikki (askmewhat) has been asking me to post a photo (yes, A PHOTO but I'm posting PHOTOS instead :P) of me wearing my Armani make up without looking like Morticia Adams. We have been chatting about my new make up on YM (yeah, although we tend to digress from that just like this morning... great thing about sis Nikki, we're both spontaneous... we can change our topic without warning each other and it all flow smoothly) so here I am doing exactly what I've been ASKED to do. Ha ha ha! Sis Nikki, it's a pleasure to grant your request... really! :)

I've used about a quarter of the amount of foundation I used on my Morticia Adams make up ;)

I think my trip to London has paid off as I'm loving all of the make up that I've grabbed ;)

Apologies for my outfit... it's absolutely freezing here hence the jumper and cardie :(

I've been having a few break out of random spots (as you can see on my cheek) but this foundation really has managed to hide those discolorations and uneven skin tone. Good buy indeed!

Versace Lipgloss

So, what do you think sis Nikki? Do you like it or not? Yes, it's a question and I demand an answer :P

MY HAPPY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

>>>I SHOPPED, HE DROPPED>>>

Hello guys! I'm back! Oh gosh... I've been so busy during our trip in London with shopping and shows. We didn't even had chance to visit some places that we planned to such as popping in to say 'hello' to the Queen ;) Well, it was really cold, dark and wet so it wasn't a great time to visit places. I very much prefer to stay indoors when it's freezing outside... hence shopping ***nudge nudge... wink wink***

The highlights of our recent London trip were shows, food and yeah, shopping! My boyfriend told me that it was my trip but next time would be his... meaning no shopping... doh! Never mind, I shouldn't be selfish really :)

Anyway, I've been so excited to share the things that I've picked up in London. Just be warned though as I must have over 80 photos below and might take you more than one visit to go through all them ha ha ha!

I hope you enjoy browsing through my new stuff :)

>>MAKE UP>>

My new found make up at Harvey Nichols. I've decided not to get anything I could get in Nottingham but I just couldn't resist new MAC stuff

MAC eye set. I've never tried any falsies as I haven't got the faintest idea how to use them but hey, there's always the first time for everything :)


I've had Versce make up ages ago and decided to have them again




Gorgeous packaging or what?














Would you believe this was a gift? For every purchase of 2 or more items, you get to pick a present of yourr choice including skin care and perfume. I picked this lipstick out of the lot!




Lovely lipgloss








I've always wanted Armani make up but they're not available where I live so I took the opportunity of grabbing a few



I'd recommend these eyelashes curlers. If you like Shu Uemera, I'm sure you'll love these too! The price is about the same

I've never heard of this product but I got intrigued with the demo so I grabbed a few to try as well. They're not cheap so I hope they'll pay off ha ha ha! The foundation was £40

Another product that I've never heard of but I like the pink lipstick as it seem to look perfect for the dress tha tI'm wearing on Friday :)

My new make up haul :)

Now... there was my element ha ha ha! Shoe shopping!

I intended to to buy 2 pairs of designer shoes but indeed up with 5 plus 2 from Office

Jimmy Choos were not on my list but I don't mind having them as my substitute with the Manolos that I wanted originally

Another pair of sky scaper ;)

Who doesn't want a pair of Christian Louboutin?

Hot hot hot!!!

Another pair that were not on my list

I love Ferragamo shoes as they are comfortable and durable. I had a pair in the past that lasted me about 10 years even when I wore them almost everyday at work

A pair of sensible shoes

I'm never a fan of Office shoes but I bought a pair of flat shoes whilst I was aways because I hurt my ankles (surprise surprise!) so I got desperate enough to nip in Poste Mistress and bought the hideous flat you could ever imagine. Overnight, I couldn't get myself to like them so I had to return them the next day only to find out that they didn't do refund. I was given an Office credit note instead so went in the shop on our way to Harrods and found 2 pairs.

Comfy walking shoes... not me at all :(

A few addition to my designer shoe collection :)

New pairs of shoes!

>>>THEATRE>>>

~~~oO~~~

During this trip, we went to see a couple of shows. We saw Chicago during our first night and Wicked on the second one. We didn't really enjoy Chicago and I thought it was a let down. I would never recommend this to anyone as I don't want to get blamed for it ;). I was hoping that it was Suzanne Shaw from Hearsay doing it but it wasn't. I thought it was going to be as good as the film (which I really enjoyed with Catherine Zeta Jones playing Velma Kelly and Renee Zelwegger as Roxy Hart), but it wasn't. Roxy Hart wasn't even blonde! The best thing about the show was Mama Morton played by Brenda Edwards from X-Factor 2005. I thought she was amazing and my boyfriend and I have agreed that she was the star of the show. I'd give the show 3 out of 10 only because I enjoyed Brenda Edwards' performance as Mama Morton. I must say, it was disappointing and didn't razzle dazzle me at... all...!

~~~oO~~~

On the other hand... Wicked was just... wicked! What can I say? Great show, great story, great characters, great artists, great songs, great perfomance... a perfect show indeed! If I was struggling to find good things about Chicago... I couldn't find anything I didn't like about Wicked. All of the effects, sounds, lights... everything was just amazing. I'd definitely recommend this show 100% and will definitely be seeing it again... next time with my baby Sam as I'm sure he'll love it!

~~~oOo~~~

Another show that I'd recommend is We Will Rock You... I saw this 2 years ago when my boyfriend and I went to London. We saw it being shown and there were still tickets available so my boyfriend took me as my birthday present... sweet!

Of course my Wicked souveniers!

Grabbed these from HMV Harrods

That was my shopping trip. Phew! No wonder I'm this exhausted ha ha ha!
