Talk about beauty : Windows to My Soul
Beauty is never effortless for me. Furthermore, I am a real lazy bone. Ever since I started working full time, there is only this much me time I can have for myself. Because of my lazy nature, I stopped taking care of my skin, stopped taking care of my tresses, stopped dolling up, and as time goes by, I stopped pampering myself entirely.
Then reality snapped. Running a Sales & Marketing department, I need to look good. Or at least, presentable. But the lazy bones in me is not willing to sacrifice time off my sleep to make up in the morning. The most I will do to my face in the morning is sunblock, and that's it, and when I report for work my colleagues would ask me if I am sick cause my eyes simply look so dead.
People often say our eyes are the windows to our soul. Like many other Asian females, I am born with relatively short and sparse lashes. In order to achieve sparkly and fluttery eyes, I need to curl my lashes and apply layers and layers of mascara which is extremely time consuming, especially during the morning rush hours. My saviour to this woes is, JEANE from COVO.

Before I start my session, I was asked to fill up some forms and I proceeded to the consultation with Jeane. I was totally spoilt for choice with the various curl types and lengths to choose from. There was also different styles of extensions. All in all, there were so many combinations for me to choose from I can't even decide so I trusted Jeane to customise what she think would be most suitable for me - C curl, with varying thickness for a more natural look.
The magical room where I fell asleep and woke up with gorgeous eyes
During the process
It has been slightly more than a week since I did my lashes and although some are falling off, but most of them are still standing strong. What I love about lash extensions is that are already curled so you don't have to curl them or put on any mascara. It literally saves me all the time from having to do any eye makeup. Well, you still can put on eye makeup if you want, but why bother to waste your time when you can have instant gorgeous eyes ?!
Why should you try eyelash extensions ?
It's time saving ! For lazy bones like me, who doesn't put makeup regularly, you will definitely look more presentable or at least look more awake. Once you start, you probably cannot stop. Can't wait for my next visit to COVO for my touchup. For those who are interested,

MY SURPRISE PROPOSAL
Sunday, December 29, 2013
It has been slightly past a week since I got proposed to and to be very honest, everything still feels very much like a dream to me. Although I already knew that the ring was ready long ago, like early this year, I never thought that he would pull such an early (and AMAZING one) on me. Yes, you read it right. I was aware of the ring’s existence. I can’t remember when we started discussing the idea of getting a ring together, but JS decided to let me choose my own stone cause it’s something that will follow me through my entire life and he wants me to like it, while he chooses the setting (so that I can still have that surprise element) but somehow it ended up with both of us choosing the entire ring together (:
Event : Bobbi Brown x Holiday 2013 Collection Preview
Monday, October 21, 2013
Two weeks ago, I was invited to a media event for Bobbi Brown's Holiday 2013 Collection Preview and I brought my Mom as my +1. It started with a catwalk featuring matured models (aged 35 and above) from a reality TV series "Models Reinvented" and all the ladies wore Bobbi Brown makeup.
Didn't take alot of photos of the runway show cause I was way in awe how young and amazing these ladies look.
You wouldn't believe that these ladies are all 35 and above. Moral of the story ? With Bobbi Brown's Holiday 2013 collection, you can achieve that glamour red carpet look effortlessly whether you are fifteen or fifty.
There was also a make up demonstration by Bobbi Brown's makeup trainer Sophian Loh.
Now let's see what Bobbi Brown has to offer this season. Holiday 2013 is all about Old Hollywood and Gift Giving. Old Hollywood gives you the red carpet glam and you can party all day and night in style with shimmery glosses and glittery nails.
