Beauty 101: Stila Light Up the World Eyeshadow Palette Review

I recently bought a Stila shimmer eyeshadow palette (yes, me and my make up 'conquests'). 


Anyway, look at this..it's so pretty!!







Okay, as pretty as the colours may be, it is a tad bit disappointing coz they don't really show through just like the swatch that I did on the back of my hand. When I tried to wear it, it wasn't as shimmery as I thought it should be.





The pictures that I took with my blackberry didn't do justice to the Stila eyeshadow palette. So I grab a screenshot of it from the website that I bought it from.





Why did I buy it? Coz my friend got one for her birthday gift but of course not this one. The colours are gorgeous though I didn't try the colours personally like doing a swatch coz basically, it's not mine.  It's the giogio armani ten eye shadow palette and the packaging is so snazzy though strangely, I can't find it on the net. Oh well.

I feel that it's not the end of the world because I don't to make it feel like I'm wasting money. What can be done then? I will use it with my NYX eyeshadow base in Pearl so that the shimmer will show through. I have yet to try that as I tried it with NYX eyeshadow base in Skin and the colours didn't really pop.

Anyhoo if you are still keen on getting the Stila eyeshadow palette, it is available on this local website:

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

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...

Our First Group Meeting After Graduation

It has been a long time coming since the last time we met was on Graduation Day although I did meet up with 3 of them quite recently for a birthday celebration. I somehow never seem to miss out on any of the gatherings including the time when we went to a coffee shop after our stressful Econs exam papers. Still don't know how we survived that miraculously..haha.. Anyway, I've always been a silent supporter to this friendly bunch of people who always make me feel inclusive knowing that I am a lady of few words, haha.  We went to this restaurant called PU3 and although the service staff should really write down orders so that we don't always have to remind them that two of our drinks had not arrived get our orders wrong. I mean it's for their customers' benefit and also their own so that they don' undercharge their customers. Just saying. They serve Nasi Ambeng served in a big dulang or tray that is meant to be eaten by 2, 4 or 6 people which is m...
