Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quad

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quad

These two Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quads were given to me by Ann as my birthday present. There’re two other products, will write about them some other time. Thanks girl!

Played around with them for sure. Here are the results even though the effects aren’t that obvious, tried hard to capture the colours but didn’t quite get them. The colours are much more obvious in real life.

This is Purple Haze Quad. Love the colours. Finally got dark shades for my eyeshadow collection.

For highlighting the brow bone, I used lilac(top left).

For the inner lid and over half of the upper lid, I used amethyst(bottom left). I applied more inner eyelid but less intense for the upper eyelid

For the overall upper lid, I swept some purple(top right) over the middle and blend it to both ends, so that it has fading effect. At the same time, also blended the edges of amethyst with purple so that it won’t look as if there’s obvious line that separate both colours.

I tried to line my upper lash line with black ice(bottom right) but failed, so I just smudge it to blend with amethyst. I managed to line my lower lash line. However, not long after that, the colour was gone. Better stick to eyeliner.

Next, this is the Romantic Quad. I love the colours too even though blue eyeshadow is something I don’t really like because when it’s on my skin, it looked quite dirty, doesn’t seem like blue but for this it’s not that bad.

For highlight, I used white gold(top left). I also applied a bit at the inner corner of my eye to make the eye brighter and open up.

I decided to use both minty(top right) and lagoon(bottom left) for inner and upper lid. Minty on the left, lagoon on the right. Blended both the colour in the middle.

I tried to line metal rose to the upper lash line but failed also so I just blended it in with minty and lagoon. I just lined the lower lash line with it to define the eye. The pink is surprising a very nice colour but again it’s gone not long after that.

The final result, no other make up on except eye shadows and a bit of mascara. Ignore my skin condition, having terrible skin these days. ARG!

Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.3: Beaches @ Sentosa

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.3: Beaches @ Sentosa

This is the last part of Sentosa. It’s all about the beaches. There were 3 beaches but we only went to 2 of them, Siloso and Palawan. Skipped Tanjong coz getting lazy and tired already.


Siloso beach… Camwhored quite a fair bit but I just looked horrible in most photos. I felt that I’m not comfortable in front of cameras anymore unless I’m the one taking my own photos. I guess it’s because gone are those days that I kept having cameras pointing all over me to take my photos and I would be so natural in responding to them. Now… I feel awkward. A sign of feeling old? OH NO! Hahaha…


At Siloso, you can play volleyball there.


Views of Siloso.


Rasa Sentosa Resort.


Then we went to the Beach Station and caught another ride to Palawan Beach. The purple vehicle is one of the rides that send you to those beaches.


There’s a suspension bridge that links beach-goers to the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia (and also Asia’s closest point to the Equator). AIKS! I only know now after checking out Sentosa official website! If I knew back then I would have cross it! Was too lazy to walk that time and thought it was nothing special but a bridge.


Having great time at the beach with the family. Actually this is just a section of the actual photo. This is the bottom part of the photo.

Here…

This is the top part of the photo. After seeing this kind of view from both beaches, I some how started to appreciate our beaches here better. You don’t get this kind of view at our beaches here.

Honestly, I don’t want my children to grow up seeing or playing at beach with such view. Sorry if I offended some people as to me, a beach should be a place that you see the sea and sky join together with no other objects obstructing it except islands or some small boats.


Love beers? Wanna chill out? Bora Bora Beach Bar is the place you can do so. I fell on my knee here. Bruised my knee and cut my right foot when I lost my balance stepping on the section between the real sand and hard surface covered with sand. Mind you, these seats here are only for customers of the bar, you will get to sit here if you order something here. It’s not for the public. I would have take my time chilling out here if I’m with my darling and on a no fuss and relaxing trip but nuh-uh… That’s not the case.

Next… You can have the option of clicking on to read more or skip it. Let me warn you first, I’m not responsible if you loss your appetite

27th

Posted on By sweet surrender 14 Comments on 27th

27 this year! Age is never my secret. Maybe it’s not the time yet for me to conceal my age hahaha…

Time really flies… It’s his yesterday, it’s mine today. Just one day apart but we are miles apart. Hopefully one day we can spend our days together.

Looking around, at this age, many of my friends already got married or getting married, some with kids or expecting, some busy climbing the corporate ladder but me? I’m no where near all these. Worst still, most things have gone down hill this year and I have to rediscover everything from scratch. However, I’m thankful for some good things that happened even though not many. The bad ones overshadowed the good ones.

I’m glad I have a supportive family and bunch of great friends.

What’s my birthday wish this year? I had none all these years! *LOL* However, this year I do have some. They are:

  • Money falling down from the sky(hahaha… Everyone wants this ;p I’m so money oriented nowadays, what to do… My income drops more than 70%, CRAZY!)
  • Be closer to him and take a step further.
  • Rediscover my life and potential.
  • Plans to work well but I have no plans yet coz I’m not in the mood and still in the process of discovering my paths and options. I don’t want the shit I’m experiencing this year! All plans fall apart due to some selfish idiots!
  • Travel more, see more.

That’s all for my birthday post for this year. Thanks for reading ;p

By the way, photo was taken by Allen few months back.

Me in Breeze

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Me in Breeze

Didn’t even know that I’m featured in the 17th issue (June 2009) of Breeze Mag until someone added me in Facebook asking me to add her because she saw me in Breeze Mag. No wonder out of sudden I got so many requests in Facebook this month especially from Sabah. I have 70 in there that I haven’t approve and I can see more coming -.-” I knew I will be featured but I didn’t know when. Now I know ;p

Almost a month then I found out ;p Anybody has the hardcopy? It’s almost month end already, I don’t think I can easily find a copy out there.

Click to read…

The English in there is mine, horrible! I just realized I sent the wrong file to Breeze, the version with better English is in the other file. OMG! Then again, I thought they should fine tune it before publishing it. No? I thought that’s the basic that any publication house should do before publishing anything out as they have to maintain a certain quality in the content especially the language.

Anyway, if I don’t tell you it’s written by me, I think you might be thinking it’s Breeze that writes it. *LOL* Having such English published in the magazine is horrible -.-”

Think again… I shouldn’t tell you that it’s written by me hahaha… OH NO… ;p

You can also read Breeze Mag online, click here for the electronic issue of Breeze for this month.

My First Digital Scrapbooking

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on My First Digital Scrapbooking

I’ve seen many mommy bloggers doing digital scrapbooking for quite a while and I’ve been wondering how it’s done yet I never bother to find out.

Then last weekend I came across a link when I randomly blog hopped. It led me to a site related to digital scrapbooking. I thought there’s special software to do it but there wasn’t any. I read the tutorial and found out that all you need is Photoshop or other photo editing software.

ShabbyPrincess provides kits for digital scrapbooking for free(non-commercial use). You can download them, there are many types available.

It’s so easy to use. Basically the kit consists of various images/elements that you can place into the layers of Photoshop. Not rocket science at all hahaha… Silly me… Anyone that knows how to use Photoshop of photo editing software will not have problem doing it at all. The images/elements are in *.PNG

In fact you don’t have to download the kit if you know how to make your own designs. The kit is just to help make your life easier and for those that don’t know how to make their own designs.

I downloaded one kit called Harvest Spice that was released in October 2007 and here you go… I tried it out today. Took me 30 minutes coz I was doing some other things at the same time.

I know the photos are not suitable for this design ;p

Anyway, this gives me a gift idea for my friend’s wedding this year end. Since I’m invited to her wedding, I told her that I’m going to take lots of photos of her wedding ceremony and she said that she will pay me for it so I might as well do something nice for her.

I’m not so sure about the paying part, if she really pays me, then I’ll accept it. If she doesn’t then I don’t mind too. I told her I’ll just simply shoot, I’m just kaypo-ing, I’m just taking the photos for fun.

It will be my first time attending a church wedding. I’m not a pro photographer, far from that but she insisted to give me “ang pao” so I might as well do something better for her rather than only burn all the images(good and bad) for her.

Oh! This is not paid post!
