Got some NYX off a cherryculture spree.




NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils - Milk & Black Bean



Thought I'll just try the white and black first. I would say it is an essential!
Melly, with Milk I can get the yellow to show on the lids!
Plus it's such a sticky base, my eyeshadows stay true to colour after an entire day of perspiration.


NYX Round Lipgloss - Real Nude & Pinky Natural





These are more pigmented than I had expected. Really quite nice. Haven't tried them on lips yet but think they should be quite good. :) The sweet fragrance doesn't really bother me much.


Tempted to buy more colours for both the Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil and the Round Lipgloss.

I didn't take a picture of my own magazine cos I had expected to buy more to get the other colours. But I've since decided that I'm going to leave it up to fate and not go chasing after eyeshadow colours round the island.

I would prefer to get my hands on the Blue, Black and Green but.. I only have the Rose Brown.
Oh well.





Eyeshadow pan on one side..


Mirror and applicators on the other.


The swatch.

It's quite an interesting colour I would say. Looks a little bit like my Penny shadestick.
Not a colour I would use often though cos sadly, this doesn't look very nice on me. Will find a way to make it work eventually.

Hmm.. Where is my magazine? I really ought to read it. Lol.

Crystal Jade Korean Restaurant.
(tempted by mel! lol)

I didn't check where the restaurant was until we got to Centrepoint. It's on the 3rd floor, opposite Anthony's Hair Boutique.
The lunch sets ($8/$10) are available from 11am to 3pm.
Pretty worth it cos I loved the side dishes!




It was even better since Hans doesn't eat veggies, it was all mine! Muahahah!
Well no, not really. He kept eating the potatoes from the salad dish and I thought it was only apples and raisins. Sheesh. I don't really like salad creams anyway.
I didn't care much for the celery dish either. Yucks.



Hans' Hot Pan Pork Collar at $10. Super yummy!
The meat was nice and tender and well-seasoned.




I had the $8 Saba Fish Rice, which turned out a little too salty for my liking. Also, I was a little disappointed when it came with the same sides as above. So boring.



Haha no. I'm not dating a married man.



I curled my hair!
I had done it once before, on one side, when Hans was over at my place and he said he preferred my hair straight.
But I risked meeting him late on this day (sorry dearie!) to flip my ends out and put some curls in my hair. Couldn't get an accurate pic of how it looks like but I really liked it!
To my surprise, Hans said he likes it too! Phew!
I thought I might have to pacify him cos I wasted time doing something ugly and ended up late again.



I found some long-forgotten eyeshadows that I had and again chose this day to swatch and try them out (I know..bad choice but I couldn't help it).
I love love this lilac and I paired it with this dirty dark brown/green, which I had hated when I first got it.
And I have NYX Circe lippie on.. I love!



The colours I used.. Not including highlight of course. :)
Both very pretty matte colours.




These are reaaaally old ets eyeshadows. The ones with the round grey containers were not even in counters when I first joined, so I can only imagine how old they really are. Surprisingly, I prefer the textures of these as compared to the ones that were sold when I first joined (the square containers) and also to the ones sold now (the super tiny rectangular pans).
I got these during the training day for the current range of makeup (iirc) when they dumped a whole stash of tester makeup for us girls to choose from. I think I have some lip stuff and eyeliners/mascaras from this clear-out also. Some nicer colours were picked up by the fastest fingers but I'm quite happy with what I got. Most of the ones I have are so new, that the ets brand can still be seen embossed on the eyeshadow.

I obviously don't have much money to buy new makeup and all that. So finding these makes me feel like I got more new stuff and that gets me excited. Can't wait to try them all out. Yay!
