I never got around to blogging about these so here goes!

Nic bought me make up- yes she knows what I love- during her trip to the US last year and these eyeshadows from VS have not left my make-up pouch since!


From left: Glamerald, Gold Rush

She got me four colours- Glamerald (jade green as above), Plum Crazy (deep rich purple), Smokin' (glittery grey) and Fade to Black (glittery intense black). The soft pearl shadow delivers buildable color with subtle shimmer. The best thing? These are be applied dry, or wet, for added intensity. No guesses for what I always choose to do.

Smokin':


I use Smokin' and Fade to Black AS AN EYELINER almost daily, wet, applied with an angled, slanted tip, liner brush. Something like this:



The brush doesnt have to be from big brands like MAC. I have one by MAC, one from The Body Shop, one from Sephora and another from SASA. The one that works the best? The Body Shop, anytime. I am absolutely in love with their brushes! Big brush for loose powder, a medium sized one for blusher, a round tip one for regular eyeshadow, a slanted angled tip for wet eyeliner.. I have them all from The Body Shop. A post on that later.

The liner brush has short bristles that are cut on a slant, and somewhat flat. This provides a clean thin line to the area applied. To use, I wet it with tap water, then dip it into my choice of eyeshadow, then draw, draw, draw in a straight line, working from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. Wet it somemore if you need, then dip it back to the eyeshadow pan to pick up more colour, and then draw again. This gives me super results everytime!

Being an eyeshadow, the definition isnt so harsh, but with incredible ingredients, the pigmentation is as comparable, if not better, than any good quality eyeliner. Drawing your eyeliner on with an angled brush gives you more control as compared to using an eyeliner pen. I have my favourite eyeliner pens though, I love eyeliners! Then again, a post on that later. :)

I am contemplating their new baked eyeshadow (PUPA also has excellent baked eyeshadows):



Ultimate adrenalin RUSH, I tell you. For those not in the know, I palpitate when I see make up.

Time to pay the Victoria's Secret store a visit, I think!

Three months! I've been so busy and bogged down by work the past months into my new role, I was in constant mood swings (poor cute kid) but Im glad to report that I am fine and happy now!

Three things were always on my mind: 1. House problem 2.WORK 3. Holiday

How to be stressed over my HOLIDAY? You definitely can be, when you have tickets to Frankfurt BUT that's the only thing you have booked, and your HOLIDAY is a month away. The girls and I have been too busy to do anything else since Topdeck cancelled on us, but Im glad that Hui found Thomas (no, not her new flame), but Thomas from ToEurope, who is planning our trip for us (accommodation, train tickets and reservations). We were taking a chance when we emailed him for SOS, and were pleasantly surprised when he responded the next day and called me from Germany to find out our travelling needs (AND woes), and has been in constant contact over emails and phone in the past 2 weeks. We dont know how to say thank you, but err, "THANK YOU Lifesaver!!"

Their website address is http://www.toeurope.eu/

Visit them when you have an idea that you're going to Europe, but dont want to join conventional tours because thats just restrictive. Recommended for independent travellers who want to get logictics out of the way. Yes, thats exactly how I would describe them. Go to their website and the words and pictures scream Magic and Medieval, and you know how Im a sucker for these things. You can choose from the packages that they have, like the examples below, or add on, delete, and customise your tour, which was exactly what we did.



We chose this one:



We're going on the ROMANTIC ROAD southbound trip and CUSTOMISING it with trips to Regensburg, Prague, Salzburg and Vienna!!

How does it work? Look through the tour packages and decide which one you want. There are so many options ranging from three to ten days (of course you can add on as you wish!), so many destinations that take you from London, Paris, Rome, or to Switzerland, Rhine Valley, Frankfurt, Munich..

We were hesitant at first because we're going to be having them charge our cards and they're so far away, and so we clicked on the "Contact" button, half hoping that they wont even reply and we can do the safe thing by booking our own accommodation + Eurail tickets ourselves. So troublesome, but safer.

And so this was our first step!



Almost immediately we got an interim reply from Sylvia, who informed us that Thomas will get back to us on Monday.



And on Monday, he CALLED from Germany and asked more about our needs and expectations, and how we would like our trip to be because we're doing quite a lot of add ons. He even guided us in planning our itinerary instead of being accommodating all the time, and asked if we would take his suggestion, he would think it is nicer if we take another route or visit another place first.

And as of 11 May, we're going to have our train tickets and destinations all booked! In a matter of 10 days since our first enquiry email!

We are going on our holiday!! I'll be updating our destinations soon!!
