Oh and apparently Singapore have already launched MAC new collection Quite Cute at Tangs. I'm definately gonna call up and check if other outlets have the stock as well. But I'm definately puzzled as I know that the U.S. is launching this collection on the 7th of April, so why is Singapore faster this time? So unusual ...

Eyebrows

eyebrows are the most important part as i feel it frames a person's features.

i guess most people wonder about achieving the perfectly drawn brows. be it eyebrow pencils or brow powder, the few key point to it is:-

• NEVER start filling in right from the start ( nearest to your nose bridge ) of your brows.
• only fill in at area(s) that are more sparse.
• start filling in from about 1/3 of the start of the brows with very light short stroke ( IMO ).
• slowly build the intensity as you don't want to over do and end up with "cockroach feelers".
• don't line the "perimeter" of your brows.

if you like to spend more time with your brows, u can use 2 shades of brow powder, the lighter one for the upper ( horizontally ) half, and the slightly darker one for the lower half. and i always fill in my brows before any eye makeup so that i can to take a look at it after spending time focusing on other areas, somehow its easier to spot which part of the brows needs to touch up to make them more symmetrical.
oh another trick that i love is to place the bottom of my palm slightly to one side of my chin to act as a pivot point and repeat the step on the other side. i feel that that why it's easier to make the more or less symmetrical too!

personally i use the ZA Ever Brows as i've pretty oily skin and so far it's the only pencil that doesn't turns "creamy" for a full day wear.

knowing the Unknowns ..

went to watch Unknown today with my boyfriend and his mom. the movie was okay and kinda predictable, not as good as Taken.

after the movie we went to buy pressies for my boyfriend's aunt as her birthday is around the corner. and of course, needless to say, gifts =  COSMETICS !! we bought her a Shu Uemura Lash Curler and MAC Haute and Naughty Lash.
Love love love Shu's curler as i've very stubborn lashes and so far Shu's curler is the only one that managed to curl my lashes.

also, i've tried the Benefit BAD gal lash. it was so-so. kinda expected the drug store mscara effect as i've read tons of review about how average the mascara is. seems like Lancome's Hypnose mascara is still THE best, my one and only fave! =D

p/s: swatches on BAD Gal Lash ^.^

bye bye squatting days ^.^

in case you are wondering what's up with the title, i used to squat while doing my makeup [ LOL !! ].
so my boyfriend and i went to ikea yesterday and bought a desk [ yuppie ^.^ ]. i've also bought a small-esque tin pot for my brushes cause it's too troublesome and taking too much space using two glasses to contain all my brushes.

yup! that's my charming boyfriend in the mirror reflection [ lol .. ]
