Got this while at Robinson’s last weekend! It was on 20% so why not. :P About $14 after discount.
This is shade #02 Baby Pink. #01 is called nude something… it’s a more peachy shade.
Just tried it on a couple of seconds ago… the effect isn’t as glorious as what is shown on the packaging (obviously), but I think to a certain extent it neutralises my original lip colour, albeit to a slightly ashy tone.
It’s good as a base too, to prevent my lips from discolouring from dark lipsticks, so I guess it’ll serve some purpose.
Dropped by Sunset Way over the weekend cos we’re cool like that. Was hungry and my criterion were 1) Air-con (non-compromisable) and 2) Cheap (compromisable).
Thankfully we ended up somewhere that fit both criterion! And thankful-ler, they were actually still serving breakfast at 12pm! Tee hee. :)
We ordered:
- Breakfast Set B: German sausage with omelette, toast and salad, with a cup of tea. ($9.50)
- Slice of chicken pie ($4.50)
Honestly, the omelette wasn’t all that tasty and the slice of garlic bread was hard & chewy, and a bit unnecessary. Unfortunately, the tea also belongs to this paragraph, being diluted and bland, and obviously Lipton. Not that I have anything against Lipton because it can taste decent if brewed properly.
However, I loved the salad! Loved loved loved! The balsamic vinaigrette dressing, which is made by the owner herself (actually I’m not sure if she’s the owner or not), was awesome. It complemented the vegetables so well. Wish they just sold the salad by itself!
The chicken pie was also a good treat! First, it was a fantastic surprise that the $4.50 portion was actually a quarter of a chicken pie! I expected a normal 1/6 or 1/8 portion but we got a gigantic slice. :D
It was hugely satisfying (pun intended) and I would imagine it goes well with some blankets and a TV in front of me.
Location: 109 Clementi Street 11 (Sunset Way), #01-07
Price: $7/pax
There was a promotion going on at Somerset 313… the above thingaming was selling for only $4.90! Compared to the usual fare of cai peng which is also $4.90, this was a major steal.
Unfortunately udon is my least favourite Japanese food so it was a relative challenge to fully enjoy it, but the fact that it’s $4.90 and not from a food court is comfort in itself.
Good for quick value-for-$ meals in town!
Taste wise, it was a pretty average bowl of udon overall; the soup was quite nice though.
Location: Somerset 313 L5 (near the escalator)
Spent: $5/pax (during promotion)
There has been a dearth of posts over the past month because my iPhone decided that the front USB port apparently isn’t powerful enough for its awesome self. MEH.
Zzz. I couldn’t transfer any photos at all and no photos = no posts. And it was only until today that I realised that plugging the USB into the back USB port works. Zzz.
Anyway this is my long overdue shopping haul post from ASOS back when they were having a massive sale in… uh… April methinks? And now obviously I have no more gushing enthusiasm remaining after an entire month.
All that I still want to say is that they were quite nice, cutting was good. The striped dress made me look pregnant.
And… thazall.
I bought this in Jan 2011, hoping that it will lighten the fugly scars on the back of my thighs (caused by some allergic reaction to dunno what at Botanic Gardens).
This is my review 4½ months later. Long story short, this does not work. Period.
Smell: Distinct, doughnut-like scent (really).
Colour: Bright orangey yellow. Will stain clothes if you do not wait for oil to be absorbed before getting dressed.
Effectiveness: Nonexistent. With all the online articles waxing lyrical about the benefits of rose hip oil, I really expected more than this. I don’t like the oily texture, and afterwards my skin doesn’t feel as soft as it does after I apply body lotion. What gives? It didn’t help with lightening my scars either.
