When I first heard about Hello Kitty coming out with their own cosmetics range, I was stunned! I just wanted to see it!!

Since a kid, coming from an Asian family, I’ve been gifted Hello Kitty plush toys and hello kitty this that, that this. It wasn’t until I grew up, that I knew almost every girl was all over Hello Kitty.. even when they are 20!!! I was so spoilt with my Hello Kittys!!

Anyhoo, so not to say I didn’t appreciate Hello Kitty, but when I heard about the range.. my first thought was..

“Childish… but I still want it! It’s cute!“

I laid my eyes on the range.. and woah, you can see for yourself.

It definitely does not look like the kid’s make up kits I used to play with when I was 5!!! Shame on me for even thinking that!!!

Hello Kitty compact mirror (limited edition), diamond lipgloss, pink and gold nail polish

Hello Kitty baked duo eyeshadows

And to prove that these are not just children’s makeup, check this out!

The pigmentation of the duo eyeshadows are mindblowing!

My comments on them?

• Very moisturising
• Not very transferrable – like the NYX round lipsticks which almost always transfers to your teeth
• On the more expensive side at RRP of AU$21.95
• A good range to choose from
• Quite opaque – much more fun than using lip balm
• Great packaging as you can find your shade through the transparent lid

The shades I chose:

• Cupcake – Medium Pink
• Cotton Candy – Sheer Pink
• Gumdrop – Lilac Pink

Lasting Power: ✰✰✰✰
Price: ✰✰
Packaging: ✰✰✰✰✰

Overall: ✰✰✰✰

 Revlon Lip Butters can be found at any leading Priceline, pharmacies or supermarkets. RRP AU$21.95

Ohai!

Can you believe it’s been 2 weeks already since I started my Dove Transformation?

Only 1-2 pumps per day…

And we’re going to see a difference…..

No more dry and unmanageable hair!! Smother the hair with the specially formulated coconut and sweet almond oil!

Before

Split ends/dull-looking/unfancy

After

Amazing product!!!

If you touch the ends of my hair, it will feel like I’ve never even dyed it before!!! Woohoo! Baby hair once again!

Time to grow my hair to my waist, and then “whip my hair back and forth”. ♩ ♪♫♬

Thank you Dove.. for making such an amazing product.

I’ve also announced the winners to my blog readers for the Dove competition already. Congratulations to all those who won the Dove pack and thanks to everyone who entered!

I’ve heard the rave.. and I’ve heard the obsession with the polishes, but I wanted to try it out for myself and see how it was really like.

1. Tarte with a Hart

Sheer gold polish with silver specks of glitter – very sheer but extremely pretty over a coat of gold polish.

2. The Dark Knight

My favourite one out of the lot – deep purple with specks of glitter. Again sheer, but over dark polish, looks amazing.

3. No more Waity Katy

A purple-grey with specks of purple glitter which I thought I would love… but didn’t end up being my favourite. A little flaky when applied but the base colour is gorgeous.

4. Muggins

I couldn’t capture a photo of this shade nicely – but it’s definitely a baby pastel purple. I really love it. 2-3 coats required for an event thick opaque look.

5. Knackered

a metallic,  galaxy-like polish which I’m not too sure about – but I will show you guys what it looks like later

Overall review:

Loved the range of the colours in these polishes, I love how they have “names” for each of the polishes!! The polishes are a little more on the expensive side (compared to your Essie, China Glaze, OPI), but I think they are worth it for the packaging, quality of the polishes. These polishes are also the first brand established to be toxic-free, hence they contain NO Formaldehyde, NO Toluene, NO DBP.

RRP $US14.00 from Skinstore (Free shipping to Australia)

For the past few years, I’ve always been told what to do and what not to do.. it’s the end of it now. I do whatever I want to do!

And that includes being a red head.

My hair is a little dry at the moment because I had to double process to get this colour, I think it’s all worth it. Dove should be able to repair my hair for me though (^__^)

I’m actually just about to step into the bathroom to dye my hair but thought I’d get a blog post up because I’ve been MIA for so long!! Horrible me.

About 3 weeks ago, I decided to jump onto the eyelash extensions bandwagon. BFF, Joanna, introduced me to mink/silk eyelashes and I’m honestly not going back to plastic ones.

I’ve had really bad experiences with plastic eyelash extensions in the past. They always seemed to pull and tug at my eyelashes and I never seemed to be able to pull them all off evenly!!! I swore never to ruin my eyelashes with eyelash extensions again.

But, that being said…. after trying the silk eyelash extensions, I’ve decided to that I want to have eyelash extensions for the rest of my life!! Except that it is actually more high maintenance than bleached hair!

Here are the amazing lashes from top view. I have one of the longest lengths possible – 12, 13mm.

I love that they look so natural! I’ve asked so many people and no one can tell that they are eyelash extensions!!!

On the side because I think they look so amazing from every angle. I don’t know what happened with the blurry hand by the way – I did not try to edit it. There was just a random  blurry patch.

The best thing about eyelash extensions is saving time. Being an office girl, I wake up at 7am every morning to shower, make up and change. These eyelash extensions has pushed my alarm back to 7.30am, and I have saved so much time getting ready!!! :D

Maintenance – extremely high
Cost – extremely high
Convenience – extremely convenient!

If you’re up for it, I highly highly recommend it!

I genuinely love the online store Lady Moss because they have an amazing range of eyelashes including Red Cherry, Miss Adoro and Eylure lashes!!

Red Cherry & Miss Adoro Demi-wispies

Very similar!! Both are just as wipsy but I think the Red Cherry ones are a tad longer in length. Both lashes are 100% human hair!

My favourite pair is the Eylure Naturalites in Double lashes
