Thank you girls for the vote of mixture in my blog. Am gonna work on that. For now, this short post is basically a video on how I do my usual makeup for work, or when I'm in a rush when I'm going out. Basic makeup is important to me, because it make me look more presentable.

And I have lots of friends who did not really believe that I took approximately (well, plus minus) five minutes to get it done. So since I was in a rush the other day, I thought I might as well filmed it down and probably show you what exactly I do. This video is definitely not a tutorial!! So if there's any part that you disagree, just keep it to yourself. =)

Hope you like it girls!

Take care,

Bianca

Shall do the tag first. Saffy is so sweet to create it and tag me. Thanks hun!

1) What are your makeup items must have(s)?
Ans: Eyeliner, of course!

2) Who was the first makeup guru you watched on youtube?
Ans: Ricebunny

3) From the answer above, how did you stumble upon the person's channel?
Ans: My sweet colleague intro her to me. But at that point in time, I'm really not into much makeup yet.

4) How did you discover onsugar?
Ans: 1 of my friend intro-ed me an onsugar site, and I pretty much like the format, thus I joined into this community. No regrets!

5) Who was the first onsugar blogger you followed
Ans: I'm sorry to say this, but I really can't remember. Haha...

6) Did you ever buy a makeup item/tool which you end up not using or regretted buying?
Ans: Experienced it uncountable times! I don't wanna list, because if I were to do that, my post will be long enough for you to read a year. (ok, that's exaggerating, but you got my point.)

7) What do you usually carry in your makeup bag?
Ans: compact powder and eyelash glue

8) If you found your holy grail product, would you stick with it throughout or are you willing to try on other products which might end up not suitable for you?
Ans: I will definitely stick to my holy grail products, duh.

9) In your opinion which is more important, or rather, which comes first, product quality or application technique?
Ans: I would definitely go for application technique. Once you master the right application, no matter what products come into your hands, things are going to turn out well.

10) On a scale of 5, how 'important' is makeup to you?
Ans: To me, its probably 3.

I'm tagging this to anyone that's interested in doing. Its pretty fun seriously!

Ok, moving on. Over the weekend, I went to Pink room academy seminar. Neh, that one that I post about previously. Met up with Eka (Reyenal) who accompanied me there. Felt really bad for her, because the whole seminar was in Mandarin, and that poor girl can't understand. I seriously didn't know its not going to be English. But thank God she still enjoyed it. And guess what? I signed up for that course too. Shall update on that in the near future.

Didn't manage to take any photo in that seminar because its not allowed. Anyway, the nail art was really pretty. Gosh! I'm excited!

Anyhoo, right after that, Eka and I went to McDonald to have a chat and swapped our items. Given her bubbly character, we clicked at that every instance! Seriously! It was so fun hanging out with her. =)

Yes, short is the new long. My hair has been chopped!

Gonna end my post here while I excuse myself to do a tutorial. My last picture of the 2 of us, though blurry, but I heart the effect of the photo.

Red lips is so cute! Haha... Can't wait for Eka to arrange a mass meet up! Wanna be the rest of the onsugarettes!

Love,

Bianca

Went to the party on Sunday and its my very first time attending it. Filled with anticipation, only to realise that the crowd was really small. But hey, that seems to be good because I do not have to experience long queue and jostle around with others.

Excited to know what exactly are my hauls? Continue reading then.

However, don't expect too much photos of what's happening inside the party because I was too busy being obsessed with all the goodies in there. I was lucky to be there to catch hold on a little talk by MUA Aileen and DJ Pei Fen. The MUA was giving out lots of makeup tips but mostly they are basic stuffs. Above: Shu Umera booth

So anyway, my haul of the day was

A set of mask and lotion from Kose for mummy

and

Something from

DERMALOGICA

I have a friend who insisted that I should try out this brand because its really good. That's quoting from her. And I know I can only purchase it from Leonard Drake and some other facial salon. So I thought since they are having a booth here, I might as well purchase it. I have no idea what to get, or whichever product is good for my skin, so the sales assistant introduced me to this set.

According to her, people who had never use Dermalogica before, should use this set, as its suitable for dry and sensitive skin. So I bought this set at $84 (if I didn't remember wrongly) and I got a tinted moisturizer free.

This set is inclusive of a cleanser, a toner, a moisturizer, an exfoliant and a lip balm.

And your eyes are definitely not playing a trick on you. The tinted moisturizer that they threw in as a free gift worth $70 plus is a retail size moisturizer. Not sample size. I love the deal!!!! I save lots of money. heez...

So what's with all these bags?

When you first register yourself, you already get a free goodie bag. Inside the bag, there are mostly brochures and samples in sachet. And for every $100 you spent, you get a free goodie bag as well. As for me, that goodie bag was split into 2 bags.

The above picture illustrate it all. And this time round, the goodies in there are mostly retail size. So many of it will come useful in time. Imagine the moo lah I save.

Overall, I had my share of fun at the party, and if you are wondering about the rest who attend, you can see their comments here.

Would you all like a review on the Dermalogica products? Update me ya?

With love,

Bianca

P.S. Reyenal, I've booked the nail art slot already! See ya!

While I was at the Holy Grail party, I saw Pink Room int'l at one of those booth, and was delighted to know that they are holding a FREE NAIL ART DEMO SESSION. I love nail art designs, and am really interested to know how those wonderful manicurist does their job. My job restricts me from having fanciful nails, and since I'm having annual leave that week, I thought it would be a good idea to head down.

What do you girls think? Anyone else interested? I so wanna go.

From Cozycot Holy Grail Party 2009 and this is what I had in return. Curious? Read up on my next post ok?

And I'm so glad I made Fats happy. Read her blog here. I just love surprises. Be it giving or receiving. When I was told that she couldn't find L'Officiel magazine, I couldn't help but to get one when I chance upon it, and sent it to her. Though the craze of L'Officiel is over, I thought the surprise come at the right time. At least she wasn't expecting this. Right? heez... Anyhoo, I'm so glad to have a reader like you girl!

Ok, short short post here. For now, kindly excuse me while I blog about the above picture ok? Gonna be back soon.

Love,

Bianca

P.S. Er, my name is Bianca. Not Cheryl. I don't mean to sound rude, but ya, gotta clarify. I have lots of readers calling me Cheryl. heez... Having said that, I'm really used to it, and don't mind if people call me that. So if you are used to, to calling me Cheryl, go ahead, I will still respond. No worries! =)

If any of you girls are heading down for the Cozycot Holy Grail party this weekend?

Which day are you all going? Any meetup?

-Bianca

Its interesting to be able to do a makeup that is totally different from what I usually does for models. With this theme in mind, I got to push myself forward and allow my creative juice to flow. It was really fun working with Solange, as she's friendly and really open to ideas too.

And I really give her my utmost respect for being able to dress and take such wonderful shots in the busy Orchard Road. I know it wasn't easy, but its worth it because those photos were taken professionally.

Here are some shots for my portfolio.

For more pictures, you can go to my portfolio to view. Click here.

My next post is gonna be something about health. Though not makeup related, but I reckon, its good to share.

Hope you girls have a good week ahead!

Love,

Bianca

How do you does that?

Out in the busy and hectic world, where time is running past you so quickly and everywhere around you are so urban. Its hard for one to really escape the hustle. Some prefer shopping therapy, some prefer lazing at home while others choose to (s)pacify themselves.

After doing all my homework on which spa I should spent my weekend at, I finally decided to pick................................................

*Drum roll*

Spa Vintage

There were so many reasons why I chose this among the rest.

Ambience [x]

Price- [x]

Good service [x]

Their professional services impressed me loads. When I entered, I was greeted with warm smile and a cup of ginger tea. Then I was brought to a room for a full body scrub.

I felt extremely comfortable once I stepped into the room. Its quiet, peaceful and the dim lighting made me feel as though I'm on a paradise. And what I like best about the room is that there is a little jacuzzi corner.

Looks like some kind of volcano that's gonna erupt. This jacuzzi changes colours every now and then. And that's exactly where I soaked myself in for a good 30 minutes after my body scrub.

I looked so silly in that shower cap. Don't laugh ok?

There is always a problem taking photos in dark places, so I'm left with no choice, I used my flash instead, which of course failed to show you exactly how romantic that place is. But if you want to have a look, here it is.

Feeling very excited to get in. And after 30 minutes is up, I'm treated to a full body massage which loosen every knots in my body. It was so good that I almost slept. Wishing that this will go on forever, it stopped.

But no, that's not all. They proceeded to give me a facial and then a little scalp massage.

I was totally recharged after the whole experience, and am yearning to go back again for another session.

The next time round, I'm going to try another treatment from them.

Hope this helps!

Love,

Bianca

Make a guess what these are?

Its pretty obvious ain't it?

I love it to the MAX.

Shall talk about it soon!

See you girls!

Love,

Bianca

Girls,

I'm currently editing a video tutorial right now, and you are going to see a difference as compared to previous tutorial. I'm so excited and happy about it. The colours and images are much more sharper than before. And guess what look I'm doing? Shall upload that very soon.

For now, I need your opinion girls. As a freelance makeup artist (yes, I'm certified), a portfolio is important. Currently, I'm still building it up slowly. Got to bear with it because of my shift work, its really difficult for me to accept assignments, but I'm still trying hard.

Anyway, after such a long time, I've decided to place all my previous works into a site for easier viewing. There were supposed to be more photos, for example, bride makeup, but I thought perhaps I will put that into another folder in future. So girls, please take some of your precious time to drop by here and tell me how you feel about it ok?

In the future, just click on the button "View my portfolio" at the left side and it will direct you there. =)

Hope to hear from you girls soon. Thank you in advance babes!

Love,
