Hello Beauties!

Ah.. Dark Vampy lips are so hot right now but I didn’t want to splurge on a super dark lippy just to chuck it aside after the trend fizzes out. For you girls who want to spot this super groovy lip trend, try a deep purple lip pencil instead. The one I chose is by NYX 808 Deep Purple and why I love it is because it’s good quality, affordable, easy to use and the color is very wearable.

I’ve tried sharpening the pencil to test for any broken bits and so far so good. Also, you can get a darker shade if you pencil over quite a few times and a lighter berry shade if you go over just once. In the first picture, I used it twice over, with an itsy bitsy bit of clear lip gloss over.

The one downside of the NYX Lip Liners are that they aren’t as creamy as MAC’s Lip Pencils but that’s good for darker shades because it reduces the risk of bleeding lip lines.

Hope I helped you save some money while still staying on trend

Hi Beauties!  Halloween is fast approaching and you tube land is flooding with super exciting Halloween Inspired Makeup Videos! Since I am a yummy mommy and time is always short for mums like me, I decided to show you guys how to do a Back Alley Tabby Cat Look. It will definitely look more CAT LIKE if you add  some spots on your cheeks and some whiskers as well. Either way, I hope to provide some makeup inspiration ( but you can always add your own touch! As cat makeovers are the easiest and cutest IMHO,you can easily find a matching outfit in your wardrobe and all the makeup you need is most likely within reach!

Let’s get into the spirit of Halloween shall we?

BACK ALLEY TABBY CAT

1) Messy hair ( I have some orangey highlights so it suits this look pretty well)

2) Whiskers & some black spots on cheek

3) Cute Cat outfit

4) Fake Lashes

5) Catty Attitude ( not bitchy *)

BACK ALLEY TABBY CAT MAKEUP TUTORIAL

1) BOO! Cover & Conceal

2) Apply Eye Primer &  Shiny White Eye Shadow color all over lid.

I adore Esprique Precious Dual Gradation Eyes D2

3) Shading & Contouring

Our aim is for a slimmer cattier face contour

I love LA COLORS (Storm\Cocoa Duo) for shading. It’s an eye shadow duo but since it isn’t super pigmented I started using it for shading purposes and it’s amazing. I use Storm as a highlighter and Cocoa Shade as a slimming contour shade. I use this in almost all current Ulzzang or Korean Inspired Looks.

I love MAC SUSHI FLOWER on my cheeks. I probably mentioned before but I can’t use blushers. They break me out or clog my pores for some reason and since then I’ve been cracking my head as how to wear colors on my cheeks. Then I looked through my makeup case and found MAC sushi flower untouched, lonely and I decided, I’m gonna use it as a blusher! Yes, it works pretty well! So I recommend this approach if you are wary of blushers like me. But always knock off the excess from your brush and use a very light hand.

4) Eye Shadow

After applying the shiny base eye shadow over lids, use any black or any dark eye shadow on the outer corners. You should create a steep inverted V Shape to mimic the cat eye shape and blend it out well.

5)  Eye Liner and Brows

Just fill in brows with a super light skin color and the best part about the Back Alley Tabby Cat or Cat look is that the makeup doesn’t really have to be perfect or precise. Cats are always on the move and it’s more realistic to have a little smudges here and there and not be all perfect and un cat like … but the level of perfection you want to take it to is completely up to you!

Do try to rim the eyes as black as possible. You can use your eyeliner in the inner corners to draw a sharp V too. I had to do this last because I have very teary eyes that always threatens to ruin my eye makeup!

6) Sexy Kitty Lashes

I used Dolly Wink No 2. Sweet Girly. Sexy Stuff! hahaha

7) Black Upper Lips

Fill upper lip only using a black eye liner or eyeshadow or dark vampy lipstick. Try to tilt the outer corners upwards for a more cat like lip.

8) Adjust makeup + Add Cat Accessories

Reapply your highlighter and shader, touch up your blusher, eyeliner… draw on a cute black catty nose if you like. I’m stopping here but you can definitely go all out with your cat accessories like whiskers, cute collar, cat ears. Back alley tabby cats have all the excuse in the world to look disheveled and sexy still !

Okay! I hope you enjoyed this Halloween Back Alley Tabby Cat inspired look! It’s not meant to be perfect and perfect for time starved mommies!

Happy Halloween Beauties,

Hi guys! I’m back. I haven’t been on a holiday or any sort of vacation and I definitely haven’t been slacking off. I’ve simply been helping my parents out this past week or so and I finally have some time to myself again. I promised you guys a post on Korean eyebrows because it’s the epitome of Korean Beauty and although I don’t consider myself a Korean makeup expert, I’ll share with you guys on how I like to achieve those full structured looking Korean eyebrows.

About a month ago,  I was kindly offered a hair makeover at a trendy Japanese Hair Salon called I*CON Shunji Matsuo by Lily Xu. Those of you who are Singaporeans probably already know this established brand by now, so I was actually super excited to leave my hair to the Japanese Styling Experts and my hair experience at Shunji Matuo this past Wednesday was my best hair experience thus far! Yes, it was generously sponsored but I’ve neither been forced or paid to give a glowing review so I guess I’ll dive straight into my entire hair makeover experience at I*CON Shunji Matsuo by Lily Xu :)

My hair before the hair makeover. Seriously black, flat and completely out of shape. A little hair history for you guys, I did dye my hair black a few months ago and I regret it terribly now… shall explain later why!

I guess I’ve said this one too many times but I’m totally frustrated with my hair. I think my hubby has heard this a gazillion times and he simply cringes everytime I  mention the word “ hair” now… hahaha

I thought I would look okay with darker hair when I first dyed it black but I realized after some months that I feel lighter, happier, younger and so much better with lighter hair. That’s why I just can’t contain my excitement and had to share with you guys that this Thursday (oops) Wednesday, I’m going for a sponsored hair makeover at a really hip Japanese Hair Salon in Town! I CANNOT WAIT TO CORRECT MY HAIR COLOR & get a good hair cut.

All mommies need pampering so I’ll do my best and enjoy my upcoming hair makeover session.. shall blog about it by the weekend so stay tuned girlies!

Hope you are having a fantabulous mid week!
