Shopping @ Bugis

Met up with Liting for dinner & shopping yesterday at Bugis. Both of us wanted to go there as we kinda miss Bugis Street, heee... It's getting more and more happening there i felt - as in more shops and stuff.

So we went for our dinner first and started our shopping spree from Bugis Juction then moved on to Bugis Street. Oh ya, M-phosis is doing sales now and the discounts they offer is quite good, from 50% - 70%.. Can pop by to one if happen to pass by.

At Bugis Street, basically i went there to buy falsies, heee... i bought 6 pairs in total yesterday! This shop offers lots of fake eyelashes at great prices and i think i'm really 'addicted' to falsies now, geeezz... :)

Place: Bugis Street Level 2

Price: SGD 2.90 - 4.90 a pair (Buy 2 pairs & get 1 pair free, so practically you pay around SGD 2 bucks for a pair!)

Handmade fakes available there too :)

Yeah.. 6 pairs here!

My dearest friend -- Liting :p

Eye "Tattoo" Review

Did my eyebrow embroidery and liner tattoo last night... It was pain... but well, it's already over!

I decided to give it a shot after 3 of my friends did theirs at No. 1 Salon at Bishan, which apparently is pretty well-known for eyebrow embroidery. FYI, you need to wait at least 2 to 3 months for your appointment!! It's really a loooooong wait and yeaps, it's tat POPULAR.

My appointment time was at 9.30pm and by time i finish, it was close to 10.45pm. Actually the 'tattoo' part was pretty fast and it took like only 20 mins to complete both my liner and brow.

When i reach there, i mean at that hour - 9.30pm, there were still like 6 person waiting for their turn. It was like a little clinic i thought - Sitting at the waiting area, fill up your particulars and wait for them to call your name so you can go into the "doctor's room", hee....

I was actually quite scared as it was my first time doing both the eyebrow embroidery and liner tattoo... Wondering how will the pain be like and if i could take it :( My heart was pounding fast as she started the first tattoo on my eye... I was tearing... But the beautician Amy was really nice, she pacified me and told me it's 'normal' and ask me to take 'deep breaths' - which really helps!

For the brow, i would say the pain is quite minimal.. or maybe becos i went through the tough one which i felt embroidery is like, hmm... "ants bitting" feel, hee... Well, for the results, i think it's worth the pain i went through! :)

Price
SGD 150 for eyebrow embroidery
SGD 120 for eye liner tattoo + Pain

Bye... Eyelash Extensions

2 days back, i just went to remove my eyelash extensions after 7 weeks. Suddenly felt my eyes were soooo 'bare' & empty.

Alright, extensions are really convenient as you can skip the eye make up part, save on mascaras, cut down the time on drawing eyeliner & forgo eyelash curler. There are, however, 'side effects' for these beautiful lashes.

The 'after' effect: My lashes are now shorter... cos they need to cut some ends while removing as they're sticking with e extensions.

Sounds bad right? If you ask me if i've regretted trying the eyelash extensions.. My answer will be No, heee... Yeap, despite the side effects as i believe they'll re-grow very soon (that's why Meanie calls me 'botak' gal now, arrghhh....)

But I must warn that eyelash extensions are pretty 'addictive' if you fall in love with it. And i would ONLY recommend to friends to go for it IF they are prepared to have shorter lashes for a few weeks & have difficulties putting on falsies.

So now, i am trying out other alternatives like putting on fakes instead as they are not so 'streesful' to the lashes & it's also a cheaper maintenance :)

Few new pairs of Falsies :)

How are these 'fakes' doing?

1st: Dodo Club, SGD 4 for two pairs: Good & cheap! Sticks 'em up easily

2nd: Star Lash, SGD 12 for a pair: Not bad.. but for the price i would prefer to get ProLash from iNuovi (it's really good)

3rd: The Face Shop - SGD 4.90 for a pair: Not too bad, can buy that as 'practice'

Eyelash Extension Review

Yesterday, i went for my first attempt to eye lash extension, heee... Pulled SH (aka Woman 3.0) along and she did her eye lash perm - Check out her blog.

The Procedure: During the process, the glue might sometimes gives a 'stinging' feel in your eyes & your eyelid gets kinda itchy at times.

*Arrghh... feel like scracthing it man! But if you want to be pretty pretty, hee... Bear with it!*

"Strand-by-Strand" Method
(Photographer: SH)

Results: Thicker lashes & gives you the effect as if you've applied a good 'Volume' mascara. Ready eye liner too, save time on drawing it.

The End Results

Comfort Level: Not as bad as i thought but you really have to be very careful when you wash your face, cos you cannot rub your eyes.

+ Points: Looks natural & you can save time on putting on eye make up - Good for lazie people like me :)

- Points: Not 'wayang' (dolly) enough, hee...

Review: I'm pretty happy with this extension and it looks natural too. But i won't mind going for a more dramatic-effect eye lash extension the next round.

Price: SGD 58 nett

Can you see the eye lash extension effect??
