BOO.


First of all, Merry Christmas! I have already celebrated my Christmas with my closest friends yesterday so today is just a relaxing holiday! So I'm taking this time to blog!

I'm going to Korea tomorrow night and I should be packing. But I'm procrastinating. Hahahaha. I not only procrastinate in my studies, I also procrastinate during holidays.

Anyways just wanna update a little bit of yesterday and my pre-X'mas preparation!

There's no gift exchange for us this year because most of us are broke. But I still decided to bake some cookies for my friends!


Looks and tastes nice and it's soft like the Subway cookies. But it was my first time baking so I accidentally baked them a little too big so my cousin and I ate them up.


BURNT! Need I explain more? LOL!


Finally got the size and texture (hardness/softness) right! But the photos seriously don't compliment my masterpieces -.-


Exactly the same as batch #3&4! This is a much better photo!

So we had steamboat at my house..


Presents!


Closeups:

Now it's time for dinner followed by some serious packing! Oh, I wanna edit the videos taken yesterday too!

BOO.


LOL. Okay kinda lame but I got them as gifts when my mother and I bought boots from Hush Puppies. The boots are for my Korea trip!

Anyways, I have so many blogs/platforms to update that I no longer know WHEN I should update WHICH with WHAT. So I've been thinking for awhile just now, and I came up with:

swytnightmares.blogspot (this): for all my makeup/skincare/haircare/hairstyle AKA beauty-related hauls/favourites/tips and whatnot. And maybe just a little part of my life :D

SwytRainbowFairy will officially become my life blog since I'll be updating there twice a week! VISIT THERE! It's gonna be so fun when we read these entries 5-10 years later, especially when there's not only gonna be about my life but my 2 girlfriends' too!

Tumblr is for super short updates and photos!

LiveJournal is still my emo blog. Go there if you're really interested but some entries cannot be seen by mortal eyes... LOL okay they're just either 'friends-only' or 'private'. If you want you can try your luck. HA!

And of course not forgetting Twitter! Live happenings of my life LOL!

Lalalalala~ Let's get on with "official" stuff.

Bought this when I went shopping with my cousin the other day.


Contains two types of hyaluronic acid which coats hair surface making it smooth, and quickly retains moisture in hair to straighten dry or bed head hair.
- Penetrating hyaluronic acid: works into hair to capture moisture
- Coating hyaluronic acid: coats hair surface to make it smooth
- Light fragrance (Green Floral Scent)

Hyaluronic acid effect
Instantly moisturizes hair and brings a rich moist finish from inside out without being sticky.

So obviously this is for straight hair, which is meant for me! My cousin got the other one for permed hair. Her's is a pink bottle!

Been using it for a few days now. I feel that it did do what it's supposed to do: 1) moisturize and 2) smooth my hair! And most importantly, it's really not sticky so I don't have to wash my hands even if I run them through my hair after spraying!

The green floral scent is refreshing! Although I still think that Liese's Hair Cocktail (sampled some on my hair while shopping that day) smells way nicer and stronger. Fruity. But it's a smaller bottle, more expensive, and Lucido-L was on sale :p

I don't know why but now I always smell a fruity-alcoholic smell whenever I open my room door. I wonder if it's this treatment water (it most probably is) because it's supposed to be floral instead of fruity! And where did the alcoholic smell come from?! The ingredients include alcohol LOL.

Next up!


2 words: it works.

Seriously, before I got my hands on this high-end eyelash curler I thought all curlers are the same as the cheap curler I bought from Sasa a long time ago: works on my left eye, fails on the right.

I've always thought it's my eyes' problem because my left eye has double lids and the lashes are naturally curled, while my right eye has mono lids and the lashes are pointed straight downwards!

But this Shiseido Eyelash Curler proved me wrong! It proved to me that my right eye's straight eyelashes can be curled too! ^^ Oh, and it STAYS! The curling power I mean!

Lastly~


Have always wanted to try using a bronzer, but bronzers are always so expensive! I knew that bronzers can be used to sculpt a smaller face so I wanted to get my hands on one before I go to Korea because I want to take nice photos! (I need time to master how to use it correctly too!)

After much online research, I decided to get one from TBS. This one received positive reviews and it's matte! (A bronzer's real mission is to give people a tanned glow but it can be used for shading too.) A matte one is better for shading. Shimmery ones will catch light and that's why it gives more of a dewy look!

Plus, I've got a $10 rebate from TBS! Haha!

Haven't got any chance to try this yet. Shall find a day to try it! Super excited!

That's all folks!

BOO.


Wowwwww. Haven't blog for like.. Almost a week. The last post was on my birthday! 11 more minutes (according to my clock as I look at it now, like right NOW) and I'm 20 years & 1 week old! LOL!

Exams are officially over for me! Let's not discuss too much about it. I don't want to recall my horrible experiences, especially with the Marketing paper. My favourite module became my ultimate killer. So much for paying attention LOL. I don't pay attention in the Accounting class because the lecturer is simply too fast. Most of the time I'm just blindly copying notes.. And the paper was the one I did best -____- talk about contradiction.

Or maybe... I have a thing for numbers..................... And money. HAHA! $__$

Anyways! Girls section now hahahaha (:

You know I've been very into make-up and stuff this year.. But make-up isn't make-up as a whole. There's different stages to it. And I'm currently in the Lips stage :D

Have been trying to find a light Pink lipstick and I found my Revlon Super Lustrous Matte Lipstick in 012 Sky Pink. It's a very nice Baby Pink that I'm in love with. BUT! There's a little con to it. I find it a little dry.

My lips are very dry because I seldom drink water. So when I apply the lippie it 'enhances' the cracks =/ Tried applying lip balm as a base. A little bit better, but it makes the color run ): So I decided to get a lip gloss instead. To seal the lip color and to 'cover up' the cracks!

Yes the main reason is that my lips are dry but the lipstick isn't too moisturizing too. I've read reviews saying that the matte lipstick is quite moisturizing but apparently it isn't for me ): I've compared it with a lip stick that I bought from Etude House a few months ago and that lipstick was much more moisturizing. Cracks weren't obvious as compared to when I applied the Sky Pink one.

Anyway, this was what I got:

Liquid Rouge with 70% moisturizing ingredient for lips that's feminine yet cute.

Dressier than gloss, lighter than lipstick. For lips that are a little grown up, yet remember what it's like to be cute.

That was from the website!

Wait! Let me explain. I didn't want all 3 of them. I only wanted the PK 211, because it fits my Sky Pink best. BUT! Watsons was having a Christmas Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale and Majolica was one of the participating brands! So I chose another lighter Pink and a clear (with glitter) one!

Costs SGD17.50 each but I only needed to pay $35 (U.P. $52.50) and I had $8 worth of points that could be deducted from my member card. So I only paid $27! Average $9 each!

I figured that I wouldn't be able to use so many of them since I only have one pair of lips. So I've decided to GIVE THEM AWAY!!! (To my 2 girlfriends! HAHA!)

Decided to take photos of myself with the lipstick/gloss so that I can compare them.


Thanks to my iPhone, the colors here look almost the same except whether it's glossy, or not. But I'm quite sure there's a difference between my original lip color, the Revlon Sky Pink and the Etude Shiny Pink Shower. The Etude one was supposed to be a hotter Pink!

I've learnt my lesson. I WILL use my digital camera to take these kinda comparison photos the next time round.

Lastly, just felt like showcasing my 'Lips Collection'. LOL!


All my lips-related products smell damn nice! Damn fruity. Except for the Maybelline fragrance free and my Revlon Sky Pink!

TEEHEE!

P.S. You know your nails are TOO LONG when you have trouble putting on and removing your contact lens. Time to remove my nail polish and cut my nails!!

P.P.S. Gonna head to town with my cousin tomorrow! Watching Twilight and eat and shop! Woots!

P.P.P.S. I'm having a massive headache right now. (It started as soon as I started typing this entry -.-)

P.P.P.P.S. Can someone please tell me what the hell is P.S.?! Yeah I don't know what it stands for but I'm still using it! TELL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
