Falsies

My recent obsession is falsie eyelashes and nude lips look. Oh right, falsies were so yesterday news for some. As for me, my eyelashes are those that curl but am thinking of experimenting different look to keep my homeboy interested. That's serious hard work for women.

I like to experiment colors or looks esp on my eyes and am looking for nude colors for my lips apart from gloss. It started with buying those from Daiso and defunct Missha (I think) and over cut those. But didnt have the courage to apply the falsies coz I was afraid that I would my original eyelashes would be pulled off if I remove my falsies. Sounds funny but that was my feeling.

My gf encouraged me to look into tutorials on the net. Guess wat? I still think that the best way is to experiment by yourself coz you know your body parts well. Practise, practise, practise and it will definitely turn out perfect one fine day. I wouldnt say that I'm expert but I'm loving the looks that are created by these cuties. Had tried Daiso eyelash glue (bought in Taipei) and wouldnt recommend it coz it gives off an unpleasant smell.

As for the nude lippie, I used those that I've gotten as freebies. Loved the look especially my fav is smoky eyes.

Most of them were bought from Daiso, 1 pair from Missha, 3 pairs from some shop in Far East Plaza and the other was from Sasa. Didnt get those lashes that cost SGD 6.90 sold in shops in both Far East Plaza and Bugis Village coz the lash bones dun look stable to handle the glue. Most of these falsies are manufactured in China. My personal preferences are those with criss cross type of lashes as well dramatic lashes for drama rama effects.

The prices are as follow :-
- Daiso : SGD 2 per pair

- Missha : cant remember

- Far East Plaza / Bugis : SGD 1.90/ 2 per pair; Buy 3 cost SGD 5 type of promotions

- Sasa : SGD 4.95 for 6 pairs (I tink)

Here is my collection of falsies.

Bitter Rantings...I really hate myself sometimes

Right now, I've some rantings to be aired here. Being a impulse shopper, I'm like a kid in a candy shop. Sometimes, there is a voice in the head just keep telling you to buy that item. It seems like you are in a trance / high. Once the trance wears off, it's too late. Item is paid and you have no idea/ memory of why you bought it initially.

There are some wrong purchases made and if you wanted a refund in SG is difficult. Only some retailers allowed exchange and that's one of problems aside the bills.

There was a shop ~ Therapy ( i think) was located in a popular shopping haunt for the young located in Orchard Rd. Had bought a bag (inspired version) there and realised that the 'real' stuff had some additional details. This is a problem when buying inspired products. Hence, had decided to exchange and the difference of these 2 bags was SGD 10. However, I was not refund the difference as the SA mentioned the SGD 10 will be kept in credit till I bought another item from that same shop. This meant that I had to shop more in that shop (got no interest in doing that) and not seeing my SGD 10 ever be refunded. She added that this was the shop policy. When I went back there a couple of months later, this shop was gone! WTH! Argh! That's irritating!

Does anybody knows where are they located right now? I guess I may not see my SGD 10 ever again. Yes, it's a small amount but it's still money. There is a fierce competition among the retail shops there and there are selling similar items at the same price. Hence, the shop spaces are constantly changing. Argh!

Lost another SGD 10 on a deposit of a copy in a flea market and decided not to go back to re-collect it. I really didnt know what got into me to buy all these things. I'm always a impulsive shopper and always end up with 'unnecessary' items in my shopping bag.

I was looking for an envelope clutch at shop located at one of the newer cineplex in towns (not convenient to name the shop). The SA mentioned that it was from London. It's a leather clutch and cost approx SGD 270. I thought the price was reasonable (was working at that time). Bought it after staying in that shop for awhile. Reality set once I left the shop with my prize. Unsure of this feeling. I went to the nearest Internet connection so that I could check on this brand. Soon, realised that the brand was from Thailand and it's rather famous for leather. Decided to seek a refund and not keen in having that bag (I still like the bag). Felt cheating. In the end, I've got my refund and never visit the shop after this incident.

Here are some of my purchases out of folly. I really must learn to master self-control. Argh!
