Beauty 101: Affordable Gel Eyeliner (ELF)

I was at first really contemplating on buying the maybelline gel eyeliner after hearing raves about it and then I saw it on discount...but it's the brown colour one. I wanted the black one but it wasn't on discount. Shame on you Watson's! I could have gotten it..hrmph.

Anyway, on that day I wanted to check out the price, there happened to be sales by er..Watson's as well. They were selling NYX, Elf and Coastal Scents products for Smoochiezz which is a retail shop that is only of the one very few sellers of such products. They used to sell it online but now they only have a showroom and every now and then, they set up temp stores. 

So I managed to get my hand on a black gel liner after all and it's not maybelline. I actually did go to Watson's and asked the counter guy to help me check the price and it's $20+..er..I would have to give it a go lah since I need to standby money for emergency immediate payments like the most recent one where they terminate my internet..again..and I had to pay a second time round. So fast they disconnect. The minute you are overdue for slightly more than a month, they won't hesitate to disconnect you. So it's like payday, have no choice but to pay in full because you know I can't live without the internet.


Getting back on this, so I had to somehow try to save money and settled on the Elf black gel liner instead. I saw one youtube review on it and she seems to like it a lot. Plus it's cheaper. It cost only $9.90 even though I think if you were to go to the original seller and not through Watson's can even get it at $8.90 or something. At least they didn't jack up the price as much as the NYX products. Wow, the round lipsticks cost a lot more!


So here's the product!








It comes with a mini brush which I haven't used it but I think I will save it for other use. I don't know yet. I used an eyeliner pencil to use it as a tool because it's easier? I think I will struggle with the brush..haha.

My verdict? I'm liking it because it has a smooth application although it's a bit cakey but I think with practise, can apply a neat line across the lash line.

Plus it's the cheapest I can find so I can't complain. Gel eyeliners tend to dry quite fast so for someone who hardly use makeup, I don't think it's wise getting a more ex type. But it's essential if you wear eyeshadows because it helps to make your eyeshadows 'pop' a bit more.

Currently they are part of the Watson's sales at Compass Point and also at Plaza Singapura if you wanna check it out.

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

All in A Day's Work

It's funny how people get all flustered when people talk about them like speculating how they may have a crush on someone and they felt hey, these people have no business with me whatsoever so why don't they just shut their gap. But then when they talk about some other people's business like oh, you two should be together, and how's the progress, why don't you see her as someone special, blah blah blah...it's like they have every right to do so. Reality check. If you can talk about others in that manner and in their face like be some frigging matchmaker, why are you being so defensive when others talk about you especially when you air them in facebook? Doesn't make sense to me. If you don't want people to be nosey in your affair, stop airing them over in cyberspace and also don't be that nosey bugger as well coz you obviously hate it when people do that to you. Oh well. Anyway, I was just thinking to myself that at times, while I'm usual...
