Why're you dressed so scary?
Nothing beats creepy like a foggy night on Halloween. Even though it's late, I'm going to share my makeup and last minute costume for Halloween that hopefully might be of help next time.
For makeup I used what I already had at home because well when else will you use blood and white pastey face paint right? Might as well save up for a burger - so much more worth it.
List of make up used:
1. Sweet recipe - baby choux base
2. Laneige snow BB soothing cushion in no .13 true beige
3. Black eye shadow
4. Sleek flushed 935 blush
5. Topshop matte lip bullet in get me bodied
6. Mistine Super black fixed eyeliner
7. Makeup forever Fared à Paupières eye shadow
8. Fake eyelashes
9. Marykayatplay shadow & liner crayon iced lilac
10. Red food colouring
TIP:
Mixed the lip bullet, blush and eyeshadows to create the flesh-like effect. Basically follow the natural shadows around your collar bones. I hunched and tensed to get my collarbones more defined and get the shadows in there. Used the base to highlight the bones.
For the eyes, I used the eyeshadows and blush. Creating a gradient from black to burgundy. Lined the bottom of my eyes with marykay's eyeliner and drew in the bottom with black liquid eyeliner. And stuck on fake lashes.
Killer smile: lip bullet smudged out and tapped black shadow on the inner parts of my lip. Black eyeliner to draw stitches (smile like a killer and follow the curve of your smile) and go over with blush as though blood is oozing from the stitches.
Added red food colouring on TOP of the makeup because my skin is so sensitive and it still itched some parts of the night (cries) at least I looked scary.
Totally in love with burgundy and purple shades - perfect for autumn and the best shade for flesh and blood and bruises.

Gone with the Blues this summer
In an attempt to salvage my hair, my cousins recommended Salon Vim. It being pretty popular, I've heard about it a couple of times but never really got to try it. Over some talks about hair, the cousins decided to have a hair date and so I got my hair did! (Fabulous hair flips)
We made an appointment under Sham. He's really good with advising what is good for your hair and the amount of languages he can speak - really damn zai (pro) also, he's super gentle with your hair (none of that tugging and pulling- which is awesome because I already have close to none to pull). I really had no idea how to salvage my hair, which was dry and bleached in patches. Even though I was skeptical and afraid I couldn't pull it off, I think it turned out really great and I'm glad I left my hair in his hands. He recommended that I dye my hair in cool tones and I love it. It's a mix of blue, turquoise and grey - which is so much more interesting and dimensional than just having it in one flat colour. Now my hair is no longer patchy and the blue will kill the yellow from the bleach. Yay because it's not going to fade and leave my hair looking like Maggi Mee. I also did a treatment for my hair and it hasn't felt so gloriously smooth in a really long while (yep, all that bleaching ain't good yo). But no pain no gain right? ;)

(opposite Bugis Junction, along Bugis Street Market)
Getting the blue in there (I was honestly quite scared about how it would turn out)
UFO treatment
healthy hair goddess
bouncy curls that felt air light (so great to beat the heat)
I don't have silky soft tresses, but here's how I manage my hair:
1. Shampoo and wash with warm water and conditioner wash with cold water
2. When my hair starts to feel like hay, I use hair mask in place of conditioner and let it sit while I do other stuff (like wash my face, brush my teeth)
3. I use The Body Shop's Bilberry colour protect detangler spray and Tangle Teezer comb (start from the bottom and work your way to the top so your hair doesn't get pulled out as much)
4. Apply leave in conditioner. I use Aveda's colour protect serum after baths and Moroccan oil on top of it if it's still dry.
5. Let your stylist know not to use the thinning scissors (the ones with the comb edge on one side) when getting a hair cut because I find that its really bad on the ends of your hair
6. Leave it to dry naturally (avoid the heat from hair dryers and hair styling tools as much as possible)
7. Aloe Vera gel or organic coconut oil works great for fine or thinning hair (natural but long-term)
8. Tie up your hair when the wind is really strong to prevent split ends
9. But don't tie it too tight
10. Snack on superfoods for hair (tomatoes, blueberries, walnuts)
Never have i known that boobs needed so much care until Michelle suggested we try out for the gift promotion that Tokyo Bust is having. I have always thought that if things like that do work, everyone would be perfect. But i'm so happy that I actually gave it a shot (better with a friend along to laugh off your problems). The staff are all so friendly and helpful in finding the solutions for your concerns and giving tips along the way to care for the health of your bust (yeh, they're like little friends you have to care for too). The treatments were non-invasive and natural, and fully explained beforehand. The award winning Detox-Me massage was definitely worth the title. The difference was significant and immediate (to my surprise).
Go win a free gift pack worth $288:
(Kit comes with firming serum, bust-care serum and a 200 cash voucher)
If you are looking to sign on for more treatments, they have a special student program (50% off full price), which might only be for this month (i think). How else better than to leave the care of your little friends to professionals? Problems stemming from size, shape, and even pesky armpit flab (the one that makes you look like you have 4 boobs) can be solved, of course the earlier the better.
Looking forward to spending more time with my girl and going for treatments. More updates after the next few treatments, but honestly feeling the difference already.
x, Amelia
