birthday,
Viv's 21st
Waiting for this Natalie Lee and Iris Tan to meet me for brunch/lunch/tea at the National Museum and I'm wandering around aimlessly so I thought I'd update this space.
Last night, I went for Viv's 21st at Aloha Loyang.
Ohmahwerd that place is so difficult to get to! At first I alighted at Downtown East because I thought it was there.
WRONG!
Had to take the bus further and I ended up alighting at the wrong bus stop. I felt so sweaty and sticky by the time I arrived ):
Anyway, the chalet was pretty nice, clean and huge, in my opinion. Much better than those dirty ones at Changi.
Her party was Unicorn and Rainbow themed but I didn't have any colourful clothes so yeah, hehehehe.
It was fun watching Viv get drunk also. She went crayyyyy. I just can't describe it but she's a funny drunk.
Anyway, didn't wanna take a bus home so I shared a cab with Venetia because she was planning on leaving around the same time as me and her house is on the way to mine.
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, VIV! WE MUST MEET UP BEFORE YOU GO BACK TO THE UK!
(I realise every time we meet up, I have a different hair colour, LOL.)
HELLO! I know this is super late for a June Favourites post but oh well, here it is! (:
I've purchased a bit of makeup products because I wanted to try new stuff and had also run out of old stuff and . . . it's good to update my makeup routine.
1) MAKEUP FOREVER HD STARTER KIT
All I'm saying is, I would slap myself if this product didn't make it to my Favourites list, because I spent over $100 on it. This has been my biggest amount I've ever spent on a make up product. And I thought it was pretty worth it, firstly because it was Makeup Forever. Secondly, because it comes with a primer, foundation and powder. 3 products for that price seems pretty reasonable to me.
I bought it after a lot of contemplation and research and decided to get it because so many YouTubes have raved about it. I find that it has a medium coverage, which is pretty good in my opinion. If I'm lazy, I find that my skin actually looks pretty fine without using a concealer. I just use the primer, foundation and powder and I'm good to go.
For the foundation, I'm using the shade N125. I asked the Sephora Sales Assistant to help me because I am clueless about finding my shade. He said that my face had a pinkish tone and my neck was yellowish so he recommended me to get a yellowish tone so that it would match, I guess.

2) BENEFIT COSMETICS IT'S REAL! MASCARA
This is my new favourite mascara! I purchased a smaller sized one at Sephora because I wanted to test it out. It extends my lashes so much! And the best part is that it looks so natural!
I will definitely purchase the normal sized one once I finish my small tube.

3) STILA WATERPROOF LIQUID EYELINER
This is a pretty good eyeliner that creates precise lines on my eyes. I also love the intensity of the black and how easy it glides on my eyes.
My one complaint is that it is NOT waterproof. I used it to Adventure Cove and within an less than an hour of water activities, I looked like an escaped panda.
I was so disappointed. Especially since I believed the sales assistant when he told me he used it at the gym for 4 hours and it didn't budge. I wore it to the gym and it smudged within half an hour *rage*.
According to Nat though, Stila's Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner is indeed waterproof so I guess I'll have to try that out for myself.

4) DAISO EYEBROW PENCIL
Don't underestimate the power of a $2 product. Since I feel that eyebrows are the least of my worries, I've never had the urge to spend so much on a branded brow kit. And there definitely isn't such a thing as brow cancer right?
This is my 3rd Daiso eyebrow pencil so far and the 2nd for this specific one.
You can check out my new makeup video whereby I use the Makeup Forever HD Starter Kit, Benefit Cosmetics It's Real! Mascara, Stila Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner and Daiso Eyebrow Pencil.
Please be sure to give my video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel!
5) PANDORA
I've wanted a Pandora bracelet for quite some time but was never willing to buy one myself even when I had the money because I thought it would be more meaningful to receive it as a gift.
I finally received it for my 21st birthday with a lock and key charm from my aunt, uncle, cousin and her husband.
Then last month, Matt added 2 more charms for my bracelet. He added a Fairy and a Cupcake charm. So pretty!
Gonna buy some more charms though. My bracelet still feels extremely empty with only 3 charms /:

6) EXERCISE
I've exercised and gone to the gym quite a bit in the month of June. I mostly went for classes though. I only worked out with Matt sometimes, when he wasn't busy with work.
I've mostly attended Spin, Body Pump, Body Combat and Yoga classes.
Hope my fitness and health improves!
*fingers crossed*

7) SKINNYMINT
Finally finished my (failed) SkinnyMint journey. I did start liking it after awhile because I would drink before going to the gym, so that helped a bit. And it did make me lose a bit of tummy.
You can read about it here.

8) TFIOS MOVIE
I had won a pair of tickets to catch TFIOS premiere and I couldn't find anyone to go with me so I ended up going alone.
What I like about the movie is that they didn't stray far from the movie like most other movies based on books and I guess it helped that John Green was on set all the time.

Not sure if it's still showing in cinemas but go catch it if you can! Or buy the DVD when it comes out.
That's all for now. See you in my next post!

Anorexia
Anorexia and bulimia are words which I find very disgusting.
I've been skinny my whole life, been severely underweight ever since they started to check height and weight in Primary 1. I've followed the nurses' orders and drunk milk every single day without fail but, I still couldn't gain weight or have an acceptable weight. It's not even my fault. It's not like I eat very little either. I guess it's just in my genes and I have a high metabolism.
My family know about my problem with gaining weight. Heck, even my siblings have been underweight last time. So they don't comment about my being underweight. However, outsiders don't give a fuck.
I hate it when outsiders look at me and comment about how extremely thin I am. And some even say I'm anorexic. To me, that's an insult. I do not binge eat, throw up, exercise excessively nor starve myself, etc.
And by the way, I really am not that skinny anymore. Ever since I left secondary school, I've stopped exercising and hence, I've grown a tummy (which you can see in my SkinnyMint post). I've also joined a gym in my effort to be healthy because I have not exercised since I was 16 years old. It's not that I gym to lose weight or anything. I join to improve my cardiovascular system, to be healthy so that I stop falling sick so easily and I really want to get toned and gain muscles. I mostly go for Spin class, various types of yoga, Body Combat (I need to learn to defend myself, man) and Body Pump (which I really love and am starting to see the effects on my arms).
I am not so hardcore whereby I hit the gym every single day, every single week. I try to go at least 3-4 times a week, so that I do not waste my money.
So yeah, I really hope people watch their mouth. Just because a person is naturally skinny, it does not mean they are anorexic or bulimic. Please learn to educate yourself.
Thanks.
