APRIL IN PIXELS

Hey there,

I am currently in high spirits, because today morning.. – I BOUGHT MY BIG BANG “MADE” WORLD TOUR CONCERT TICKETS!

And this time i decided to not go on a budget and buy Cat 1 seats. There’s also a more expensive VIP Category, but the price is a hefty ~$400 and I cannot part with that amount because I am going on vacation! But i’m feeling quite regretful right now, because with addition $100 I could have gotten additional VIP pass to view their sound check. Maybe not this year. Time to earn more money and set aside $400 so I can go for the VIP category next year! Excited to go to the concert with Huiru! Hehe

Money just fly away so easily, I swear. I feel it strongly because there’s so much things I have to spend on within these 2 months – Vacation, 21st Party & Bigbang. I’m currently considering starting my work term earlier so I can earn more.

Ok that aside. I was fooling around with my camera that day and found the “Toy Camera” effect setting. I love how the pictures look, but they come out a bit darker than what I see in my camera’s screen. Which means I have to go through the trouble to edit them. I don’t get why though, I even pre-set the exposure to +0.7. And now that I look at it, “Toy Camera” just seem like additional vignetting. Can someone halp? Haha

Anyway, after all the edits, i realized I did not take much pictures in April! Probably because me and the boyfriend were pretty busy during this month.

Taken in some park opposite AMK if i’m not wrong. The sun was setting and there were some soccer guys judging me from behind but… who cares? Haha!

We finally drove to town! It was so hard to find a parking lot..

We look so stubby HAHAHA

Fave shot!

Cutie on da loose!

Rafaello sauce all day err-day!

I have been looking so hard for them – Tuchineko! Even had to trouble Huisan to look out for me when she’s in JP. But in the end, I found 1 of them in Taka’s Kinokuniya! I was soooo happy but I didn’t buy it that day, and regretted immediately.

Look who I met up with!!! It’s AH SAN <333

It’s always a fun time with my bestie! We headed to IMM for adidas sales, and I came out with a new pair of kicks (sigh lol). Picture of it is below!

San’s nom! That orangey thing is heavenly!

I’m not usually a udon person. I don’t like tempura either, but i just felt like trying. While eating, i told San that this is not a place with food I’d want to come back to again. But guess what? The next day I immediately craved this udon and tempura TT

Sooooo awesome.

Pretty babe ❤

Pretty or what? Many many thanks to San for bringing me there and giving me additional staff discount hehe

Went to Miam Miam in bugis with the boyfriend on one of the weekends!

We were comparing whose nose looks taller LOL apparently he’s is better!

They took a really long time just to serve us our parfait, which means it’s camwhore opportunity!

Phat

And it finally came. Well, the price was a little steep for a parfait, but who enjoyed the cheesecake in the middle.

And… I BOUGHT BY 1ST TUCHINEKO IN BUGIS KINOKUNIYA!

My fave cat behavior which me and my bf call – LOAFING. Mukmuk is so fluffy!!

We headed to Shaw Plaza to catch Cinderella which was phasing out. This place is soooooo old I can’t even..

Loving my shorts!

Cinderella was pretty good! She’s sooo pretty. But I was quite uncomfortable in the old theater because I kept imagining bugs on the seats and stuff LOL

Dragged the boyfriend to the LKY exhibition, which he grumpily went -.-

There was a crowd there and we had to queue up to enter the small exhibition.

Time flies. 

His watch!

This was pretty cool!

He was soooo young!

Thank you again and again, Mr Lee.

There were some extra exhibitions there too. 

Old soldier’s shoe.

I really wanted to sit this but the kids won’t get up. 😦Old Teeveeeeee.

This tuchineko looks a little different than the one before, no? It’s because I got myself a 2nd one! Had to reserve because they were running out of stock everywhere, and finally traveled to Liang Court to get Mekmek!

Well, so it’s been quite a tuchineko month for me. 🙂 But they are too cute I cannot resist.

That’s it for now! I’m about to head out and I have a feeling I will be late LOL. #whatsnew

XOXO,

Iris

MARCH IN PIXELS

Hey there,

I’ve moved from weebly to wordpress! I can no longer stand the slow weebly editor, hence I decided to go through the hassle and shift my blog over to wordpress. In addition, i cannot believe the weebly app on android does not allow you to blog on the go. I really wanted to use my tablet to blog when I have nothing to do, and not having to power  up the laptop is a lot more convenient! But weebly decided to invent an app that does not function, which leaves me no choice but to hop over to wordpress because at least they have a functional app that works on my tablet.

In addition, if you click on the widget icon in the top right hand corner, there are direct previews of my instagram updates as well as my archives etc. Awesome!

I know I am a little behind on my march post, can’t help it because life got in the way!

March was a very different month, because of how hectic life was followed by the leaving of Mr LKY. He has always held a place in my family, because we respect him greatly.

Finally met up with Meipeng! And we both happened to be in navy blue!

Ate ramen nomnom

Went on a cafe hop date with my Uni mates!

Marcus’s portrait! He’s available guys hint hint AHAHAHAH

Thanks Marcus for the awesome icecream waffles treat!

FEB IN PIXELS X BRACES UPDATE

Hey there,

Feb finally came to an end!! So many things happened this past month, but I’m glad they are all over now.
This past month, what’s really tormenting is that each time i gave my explanation, I felt like i’m just finding excuse for myself. I guess i don’t deserve to scratch off that line in my resolution. Oh well..
I guess the thought and anticipation for CNY really did tide me through this period. However, to my disappointment, CNY was really dull this year. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I was too excited for it, but nonetheless, it felt awesome to be able to get a breather and gather with the family!

“Month in pixels” take me quite awhile to post because of the weebly image system. I wish they’d put a QTY bar below the “image” widget, and allow me to type the amount of “image” widgets i need so that the system can auto pop them into the post instead of having me drag the widget one by one. It’s so tedious, laggy, and troublesome!

Okay, as usual, photo spam coming up!

P.s. random but.. I’M IN LOVE WITH MY SONY A5000! It feels like the best splurge everrr.

I bought many onigiri molds online so i can make some to surprise the boyfriend on Vday. However, our Vday did not include a picnic, so I had to put my equipment to work earlier than Feb 14.

Here’s the full panda ones! We have a thang for pandas ❤

They were fairly easy to make. I just hate the cleaning up part though.

I need to learn more recipes to see this smile again.

I think my hair has grown significantly longer! Please tell me they did…

And Mr. Muk (our kite) took flight in less than 10 seconds, I’m not even kidding. The wind was so strong, he soar towards the sky, slicing some rose petals off a bride’s bouquet on his way up. I thought we were going to appear on a murder news report.

Feb was a celebratory month for me. I had Vday, Ernest’s birthday and CNY to keep me focus ahead before I go crazy over all that stress. On the boy’s birthday, I allowed myself to unwind and treated him to SuFood!

My charming birthday boy 😀

Waiting for the food! Did not know what to expect but I decided to come because I remember Jitwoon recommending this place to me.

The appetizer was pretty awesome! I especially liked the middle one.

But the cider tasted like cough syrup to me. I squeezed my eyes shut with every sip. We were told that it’s supposed to cleanse your palate.

THE SALAD WAS DA BOMB!! I’D GO BACK ANY DAY JUST TO EAT THIS SALAD!

I have been craving for these Rosemary bread sticks since that day! They have quite an addicting taste.

Birthday boy busying food-stagraming too.

I chose the pumpkin soup and it was mehh… Not enough flavor.

On the other hand, the soup my bf chose was delicious!! I guess their food standard is pretty inconsistent.

We were quite puzzled when they served us a calzone. Not because we’ve never eaten one (i ate some during my time in Ice Edge Cafe), but because we did not recall ordering a calzone. Nonetheless we dug in and…

When we were almost done, the waitress approached us with an apology and replaced the calzone with the potato pizza. Turns out we were served the wrong dish, but I was surprised they did not even ask if we would like a replacement or to continue with the calzone, and instead just swiftly replaced the dish. I’m not complaining though, we got to try an additional main dish thanks to them!

I thought my bf’s seaweed star pizza was the best out of the 3 pizzas because there was more flavor. The bf did not quite like it because of the wasabi.

Potato pizza is HUGEEE!

I continued the bf’s celebration by bringing him to “The Company of Cats”!

This fluffy cannot stop meowing to the workers on the other side of the door.

My fave furball of the night, and I’m sure you guys can see why!

SO FREAKING CUTE (FAT), NO?

I think my phobia for tamed cats have thoroughly cured! I went to a cat cafe in a DRESS. Can you believe it?!

I think i chose the wrong time to go (8pm) because half of the cats were asleep or getting ready to sleep. But i remember the other time at Neko no Niwa that the cats were more active at night! Hmm..

Awww

This one is hyperactive!

The calm kitty i stuck to most of the time. It didn’t want to come out, but it didn’t mind my stroking. 🙂

Slurp slurp

For some reason this feels like a reenaction of Rapunzel.

Cat towers overload!

I didn’t feel very comfortable being in the confined space with strangers who acted a little “know-it-all”.

Yes?

Loafing under da table lika boss.

Busy with the cat toys hahahah

They seem to only like the blue string one

Doorkeeper

Loafing 2

Too cute

I was pretty nervous being in there without long pants but I warmed up to these fluffies eventually.

Go go!

I can’t decide who had a better workout, my boyfriend or da cats.

Sweet face

Crazy playtime!

I’m just busy selfie-ing away.

With fat & lazy Bella.

2 of the cats were in a tense fight and despite all the commotion, this one didn’t even blink!

And finally… Bella woke up. After we left… -.-

Secretly ordered a Oreo Cheesecake from Cat & the Fiddle, and had them deliver it straight to his house because I didn’t have time to buy a cake after school. Much thanks for his sister & Mom for helping to receive the cake and not revealing the surprise!

I was a little too happy, which explains the shaky hands hahahahaha

Happy 23rd Birthday, Baby! ❤

The cake was AWESOME!! I read up on the reviews and was a little skeptical & worried at first, but the cheesecake was creamy and rich, totally my cup of tea. I got to bring a few slices home for my parents to try, and both of them were obsessed!

Hope you had a good birthday, darling!

2 days later it was Vday with my boy! My fave red roses in pink wrapping 🙂

Went to feast at Greendot Payalebar Square Mall!

Waiting for our food!

We ordered the tom yum hot pot for 2. Super tasty I keep craving for more!

Love the salad!

With my Valentine ❤

Boyfriend surprised me with something i completely didn’t expect…

JOE LABERO MAGIC SHOW! (gasp)

Super duper excited!

There were these dark “shadows” lurking around the waiting area, spooking me out.

Very vintage, I like.

There were clips of old magic tricks playing on the screens, and when the show started we were not allowed to use the camera. The show had a pretty dark & intense feeling, but its my first true magic show and i didn’t really know what to expect. Until today I’m still trying to get myself to believe that Joe Labero actually disappeared before my eyes and appeared behind me in last than 5 seconds. I really don’t get it..

A far shot of the magician himself. A little shaky because he caught me snapping and asked me to go forward and take a proper picture with him (which i didn’t because I was shy and slightly afraid LOL).

And my sweet, literally sweet, Valentine gift. Thanks baby, love them!!

Red roses x Peony & Blush Suede. Too much love!

And 5 days later, it was CNY day 1! Been looking forward to CNY for so long, finally, this day has arrived!! Out to bainian at grandma’s house with my family 🙂

Yiyi & me!

2 of the most influencing women in my life.

CNY day 1 #ootd

And CNY day 2 at bf’s house!

Did some acrylic roses on my nails for cny!

CNY day 4! Went movie date with da boy.

Home boy 17!

Hoping for a better year!

And more $$$$!

And a week later, it’s grandma’s 80th birthday celebration!

All the ladies 🙂

Jiejie & me!

Shark fin

Meh fish~

The 21st century Common Interest.

Complete!

Happy birthday Po po!

I know it’s been long since i last updated my braces, but that’s because there wasn’t much of a difference after all my problematic teeth have been fixed. Its been basically power bands on straight teeth to pull them even closer together.

Looking back, it’s been a year since I first gotten braces! After one year, on Feb 2015, my dentist decided it was time to introduce me to “ELASTIC”.

This small bands have been giving me the worse headaches ever!! In addition, they kept snapping everytime I eat, and prevented me from opening my mouth wide enough to consume food. Sigh..

My current smile 😀

Do you see the elastics?

Better view of it. Its main purpose is to shift the top row backwards to reduce the overbite.

I look lika vampire when I open my mouth,,,

I have a bad feeling I will have to keep wearing these elastics in different combinations for the remaining months. Sigh..
Oh well…That’s it for now!

XOXO,
Iris

JAN IN PIXELS

Hey there,

Like I’ve expected… 2015 sucks already.

This was how i started the 1st draft of this post, but whatever I typed after that line were honestly quite impulsive and harsh, such that I decided to delete the entire chunk and pretend all that anger never existed. To those kind people who know why life sucks so badly for me right now, thank you so much for the comforting words and encouragement. I will hang in there for Feb, and hopefully it will be the end of my misery.

Because the past month had been really unbearable, every thing pleasant that occurred seemed to be magnified and played a huge part in keeping me going. When I feel like I can take this shit no more, I plugged myself in to Ed Sheeren’s “Photograph” and look back at those happy moments, and I feel contented with my situation and don’t feel as pathetic anymore.

I think for the month of Jan, the pictures below held meanings of a whole new level to me.

These smiles aren’t just a facade, but they cannot deny the existence of misery.

(Most photos are unedited because.. I’m lazy. HAHAHA)

Started off the 1st week of Jan at Marina Barrage for a picnic 🙂

Food that the dear boy prepared!

And Mr Muk’s 1st successful instant take-off. I think we’ve mastered it!

With my new found love. 😛

Same same but different

BA-BA-BAMMM!

❤

First time witnessing the filming of an advertisement. Seems like hard work!

But i thought it’d be common sense to avoid filming in these kind of places during weekends because it will definitely be quite packed, no?

Random sweet treat from the boy! My fave would be the black one – caramel!

Went to MBS during mid month.

Wearing the shirt i gifted him 🙂

The wind was so big I think this was the only picture that my hair was tamed.

Unglam candid :3

And very fail jump shots hahahaha

The thing about handing your boyfriend the camera.. 😛

Boyfriend brought me to S.A.M. on our monthsary! The exhibitions were really cool this time.

They look like fleas surrounding the carcass. These stuffs are activated via movement, and they will start to wiggle while the carcass expand and shrink as if its breathing.

The stupid guard decided to stand right in the middle of the exhibit, and everyone could not get a proper picture of it…

Don’t rain on my parade

Feels like a grand library

Can you spot the difference?

These coffin-liked objects are actually thick books spread open.

I’m examining the exhibit of old dirt.

Probably one of the most impactful pieces there.

The paint actually still looked wet on the floor.

Fight fight fight

“Eh Uncle, OI!”

THIS.

People were shooting me strange looks hahaha

He composed music to match with the letters he received.

Mandatory #OOTD.

I was so happy when I came across this!

*Sobs*

Never knew a white piece of fabric can look so..

Another piece that left a deep impression. I wonder how long he took to complete this.

Excuse me !!

Er.. Just naked women floating in water.

Very embarrassing and fail jumpshot. HAHAHAH

My IG’s: Unobtainable.

Ended the month with a short gathering. These girls never fail to make me happy!

Can’t wait to see ya’ll on 27th for our reunion dinner! :3

Davina’s

Ah San’s

Guess whose?

SHIOK MAKI!!!

Nat’s

It seems like blogging becomes a lot more tedious when I accumulate a month’s worth of photos and post them all at a go. Furthermore Weebly isn’t very user-friendly when it comes to uploading images. I’m currently considering using the gallery option, or slideshow. But i still like the format of a normal post with long list of pictures. Oh well..

That’s it for now, will post my Jan Favorites soon!

XOXO,
Iris

DEC FAVOURITES

Hey there,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It’s time for December favorites already?!

That only means one thing – School is resuming, a.k.a. FML.

December has been quite an eventful month for me, but rushing around means I haven’t had much time experimenting or trying new stuff, which explains this really simple favorites list which you will be seeing below. I’ve been into multipurpose or convenient products that can help speed up my preparation time in addition to reducing the weight and size of my makeup bag.

1. Tarte airbuki bamboo powder foundation brush

Like it’s name suggest, this is a dense Kabuki brush which I use to buff on my TFS ME:EX Angel Skin Powder Pact, as mentioned in my AUGSEPTOCT favorites post.

I like that it gives an airbrush, flawless finish without looking cakey. I really cannot stand the sight of girls who pat on thick layers of powder foundation unevenly on top of their dry skin which creates a cakey, flakey finish. Especially those who use the puff given inside the compact – STAPH!! Time to ask for a kabuki brush this Christmas, babes!!

2. Tarte the slenderizer bamboo contouring brush

I was really hesitant to get this brush because it is double-ended. Double-ended brushes are so hard to store, because you cannot let it stand on one end, and if it lies around in my makeup drawers, the bristles will definitely go out of shape. But someone came to my rescue and gave me 2 brush guards to protect the bristles! I never really got about trying brush guards because they remind me so much of those nettings used to wrap apples or pears, and I didn’t want to be bothered with the inconvenience of having to remove them each time i use the brush.

Let me tell you, THEY ARE THE SAVIOR OF ALL DOUBLE-ENDED BRUSHES!!

They kept the bristles in shape so I can just leave my brush rolling with the eyeliners, mascaras etc. without worrying that it will be ruined. It really isn’t as much of a hassle to put them back onto the brush because the guard is very stretchy which makes it easy to tuck over the brush. I’m a true believer of brush guards now, and have proceeded to purchase a few sets of them for my brush collection.

Brush guards aside, this brush works perfectly for applying concealer and liquid foundation. I know its meant for contouring, but the denser side is really good at buffing and layering concealer evenly, while the angled side spreads liquid foundation thinly and seamlessly onto the skin. This brush is super handy on the days where I’m lazy to go wet my beauty blender sponge, which is most of the days actually.

3. Benefit Lollitint
I have a strong feeling I’ve mentioned this before in one of my past favorites post, but this product deserves a second mention because I kept reaching for it during my staycation. I forgot to bring my blusher during staycation, but I was not worried because I have my trusty Lollitint! I’ve learnt my lesson after so many occasions whereby I dabbed the product directly onto my cheeks and ended up with a purplish dot on my face for the whole day. This thing dries so fast, it only looks natural when dabbed on using a sponge. It lasts all day and looks natural! In addition, it doubles as a liptint which means I can forget about bringing my lipsticks along with me when I’m out!

4. Wet n Wild Icon Collection Eyeshadow Trio in I’m getting Sunburned

Actually, I usually reach for my other Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Silent Treatment more than this because I find the colors on Silent Treatment more wearable. However, as I left Silent Treatment in my hostel, I had to make do with I’m Getting Sunburned which I have at home. Like I said earlier, I’ve been in quite a rush most of the days foe December, and I just couldn’t find time to slowly experiment with my bigger eyeshadow palettes. Small palettes like this comes with colors that are meant to go together. This makes putting on eye makeup so much easier, especially with such obvious instructions such as the color for “BROWBONE”, “CREASE”, “EYELID”.

I find myself falling in love with the colors as well, for the pigmentation is great! However, I notice more fallout from the darker brown “CREASE” color than the other shades, which can be quite troublesome to remove from the skin.

5. SUKI Cosmetics Taiwan Tom Girl Eyebrow Kit

In the past I never understood why my Mom would always take such a long time drawing her brows, but now that I’ve learnt to put on makeup, I fight the same battle as her. For some reason, I always find it hard to find the right brow pencil shade to match my hair color, but with this brow kit I can mix the colors to my heart content. The shade on the left is actually a eyebrow gel which I don’t use in fear of making my brows to bold, and if i’m not wrong, the gel has probably dried up by now. That’s the thing about gels.. I prefer brow powders to brow pencils because they give a more natural look!

6. ELF Flawless Eyeshadow in Golden Goddess

I feel like I’ve mentioned this product before too. Hmm..

Anyway, another idiot-proof eyeshadow palette for the days where I choose not to use my brain. I love to create a natural look with this palette, but I usually leave out the first/brightest shade because of the amount of fallout. They’re a little crumbly, especially so for the first shade. But the palette was pretty cheap so I have no complains!

The packaging feels like it is about to crack anytime though..

XOXO,

Iris

WEEKS IN PIXELS

Hey there,

I’m loving December because of the festive moods, but it’s coming to an end and that’s depressing. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying myself this past 2 weeks, forgetting that stressful school semester will be coming up in 2 weeks time.
Here’s a photo summary of my wonderful time with love ones for the past 2 weeks taken with my Sony A5000 (mostly unedited)!

UPDATES X AUGSEPTOCT FAVOURITES

Hey guys! It’s been so long since I’ve updated this blog because University is taking its toll on me (what’s new?), and I have been opting for a less formal/more convenient way of micro-blogging via “Dayre” app. Dayre is definitely filled with more ramblings and random complains, which is something I have been quite hesitant to do on this blog because I like to have all my posts planned out properly. Nonetheless, now you know I’m still alive, yeah?

University has been different in every ways I had expected it to be. That’s definitely a negative factor to me because I don’t like to be thrown off-guard. In addition, workload is so overwhelming, but that will hopefully cease after October ends, since we have finals for Nov.

In addition, I made it into 14’s dance team and got my dusty bones moving!! Woot! But now I have a problem, because I can’t do stunts for nuts. Sigh..

Finally met up with my OBC girls yesterday and I suddenly feel a lot better again. Friendship is a beautiful thing, ain’t it? I really wished we could have stayed on longer, but I’m sure we more gatherings coming up. For all the girls who are having a hard time in their own ways, i hope you gained strength from yesterday’s meetup, and know that OBC will always be here for ya! 🙂

---

Moving on, here’s a very late months-accumulated favourites post! (guilty)
I finally got about doing it after being reminded by Bri yesterday. I will make this a short and quick one!

Favourites!!

2. Cover Girl outlast stay fabulous 3 in 1 foundation in Classic ivory Next up is the Cover Girl outlast stay fabulous 3 in 1 foundation in Classic ivory, which I’ve had for quite some time. As you can see from my previous post, I’m all about the Korean brands, so I use my cushion foundations more often. However, i saw this bottle sitting around in my cupboard and decided that i should stop spending money on foundations unless I finish up all that I have. I used to apply this with my hands and i didn’t really like the finish, but now that I have a beauty blender, this foundation applies flawless and natural on my face! I don’t even need to powder my face because this foundation sets pretty matte.

1. Nakedglory Watch Got my petite watch from Nakedglory after feeling extra stressed out during a lecture. Whenever I’m stress, i shop on impulse, but this is definitely one of my satisfied impulse buys. It’s sooooo beautiful, I love the “diamonds” and blue reflective face of the watch. The only problem I have with it is that I don’t really know how to read this kind of watches, and the strap has started to look a little worn out. I will probably get a new strap soon.

3. L.A. Colors Cover Up Pro Concealer Stick

I bought this on impulse too, but it works super well for my undereyes! I got this in yellow because apparently its a shade to cover up the darkness under the eyes. This concealer stick blends sooooo well, and does not settle into creases. In hall, i try not to waste time putting on too much makeup, so usually I just slap this on with my cushion foundation and a lipstick, then I’m out of the door. I need to get to another watsons’ pop up store to stock up on this, it’s seriously holy grail worthy! 4. YSL Rouge Volupte in #33 & #13

Beautiful or what?! I got my hands on these babies finally, after thinking for very long (the price…). They smell like mango, and I love the #33 (left) more than #13 (right) because it goes on smoother. #13 tends to settle into fine lines, and the air is very bad in my hall room so I get chapped lips all the time which is not pretty under #13. But the shades are sooooo pretty and they stain the lips in a beautiful way! Definitely worth the splurge!

5. Etude House Color Pop Shiny Tint in #2 Sunny Pop

http://b.lnwfile.com/_/b/_raw/78/6t/fz.jpg

Got this during on of Etude house’s silent sales, at about $8, cheaper than online. The tint is super glossy but not sticky at all, and it’s crazily pigmented. I love the way it stains my lips and last the whole day, so low maintenance and awesome!

6. The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Angel Skin Powder Pact

I’ve had this for a longgggg time too, but shelved it because i kept buying new compacts. I tried using the beauty blender on this, and it looks flawless and the finish is soft but not flat. It also helps preventing the base makeup from sinking into fine lines.

7. MISSHA The Style 4D Mascara

Bought this because I was sharing a cart with some friends from Koreadepart.com, and I saw this mascara going at about $4USD. Cheap or what? And it turns out to have received numerous awesome reviews online. The formula is awesome, natural but super lengthening, and does not smudge/flake/smear! It’s also waterproof, and the wand is square-shaped, which is damn cool and good at curling.

8. VDL Xpert Color Lip Cube Moisture SPF 10 #105 Pink Positive

I saw this recommended on one of the Get It Beauty 2014 episodes, and love the way the cubic shape allows precise cupid’s bow application. I don’t have a very prominent cupid’s bow, but this lipstick helps to accentuate it. It’s super moisturizing as well, as the color payoff is really good. Pretty long lasting just that it’s prone to transference. It’s also quite pricey too for a brand like VDL that’s not very famous in SG, at almost $30USD. Got this during the Koreadepart share cart.

That’s it for now, I will post again soon! Hopefully i get time to edit my braces pictures and do a post on it. (OPS!)

XOXO,
Iris
