I was reading my favorite magazine, ViVi (July Edition) and read up and interesting segment on

Korean Cosmetics!

It seems like Korean Beauty Products/Cosmetics are a HUGE thing in Japan right now!

So they did a ranking of several products and a few items that they recommend!

What's great about this is... MOST OF THE PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE IN SINGAPORE!!

Brands such as...

TONYMOLY (Bugis Junction)

MISSHA (Bugis+)

INNISFREE (Sasa)

SKINFOOD (several places)

SKIN79 (Watsons)

ETUDE HOUSE (several places)

Heard of them before, right?

Well here's a few shots of the magazine with the products and I'll be translating the description!

...

Recommended UV Item TOP 3!

(Because it's summer in Japan!)

BUT IT'S ALWAYS SUMMER IN SINGAPORE!!!

1. TONYMOLY Intense Care Snail SUn Cream SPF47・PA+++

The texture is amazing to the point that I was in shock!

「This is perfect! It's like a moisturiser and feels like a skincare!

I'll definitely be using this one this year.」

2. TONYMOLY UV SUNSET SMARTOK! SUN POWDER SPF50+・PA+++

It's really easy to use and I recommend it to lazy girls! lol

「A finishing powder that's able to give you UV protection,

how great is that?!」

3.MISSHA all-around Safe Block Waterproof Sun Milk SPF50+・PA+++

It's a milk type and waterproof but it doesn't feel heavy at all!

「It spreads out really well and it feels like a milky lotion~♪」

A few weeks ago...

I WENT TO THE HARRY POTTER EXHIBITION!!

YAY!!!

*happy dance*

Our tickets!

*<(●´з`)ﾉ*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･Sponsored Review ･*:.｡. .｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･*ヽ(´ε`●)>*

Remember my instagram post I did about an upcoming review?

Well that time has finally come!!!

A few days ago,

I received a package from the generous people from Rachel K Cosmetics!

Oh my! A mask!! MY FAVORITE!!!

I heard they released this product in July and I was super excited to try this mask out!!!

This isn't like the ordinary cotton masks, this is a hydrogel mask!

I've tried a hydrogel mask before when Charlene gave me one mask that she got from Korea!

She told me this mask is SUPER HARD TO GET because it's not sold in stores

and it's the hottest thing in Korea !!

Problem is... you can only buy it online

=______=

So when I saw this mask... I WAS SUPER HAPPY!!!!!

You can get this is Singapore!!!

This is a simple DIY post about how to make your own buttons!!

If you're in Singapore, you can find this 'covered buttons' item in the crafts section @ DAISO!

They have all types of sizes and they sell a packet with just the buttons so you can make more!

This packet is the starter kit!!

PLEASE NOTE! The starter kit and the extension packet look EXACTLY ALIKE

It's just that the things they have are different.

Make sure you look at the package carefully before buying it!!

Oh and because it's from DAISO...

IT'S $2!!!!!

WHAT YOU NEED

included in the package:

1x green cap

1x top of the button

1x bottom of the button

1x clear cap

what you need to prepare:

1x scissors

small piece of cloth (for the button)

Oh also!!

I'll be making a 27mm button!

It's the biggest size they have if I'm correct.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the piece of cloth on top of the clear cap

(the bottom of the cap being downwards...

aka the cap is upside down)

2. Place the top of the button on top of the cloth

3. PUSH DOWN THE BUTTON!

*push push push*

Just a quick update!!!!!

I recently got a new phone!

It's because I didn't have a working visa in Singapore but... NOW I DO!

*happy dance*

So instead of going to the Samsung route...

I decided to stick with Apple!

I wasn't patient enough to wait for the next iPhone model so I got the iPhone 4s!

What color did I get?

WHITE!!!

Here's a pic of Tammy and my iPhone ❤❤❤❤

Twins!

...

I also got this shinny phone protect cover!!!

IT'S SO NIIIICE!!!

Now I just need to buy a nice cover for it! Hehe~

...

This marks another item off of my WISHLIST 2012!!!!

Gosh... I'm so blessed to be able to complete

so many of the things on my wishlist...

...

What phone do you use?

xoxo,

Kiyoko

Recently I received a really good inspirational quote from my friend...

so I decided I should share it with you guys!!

Here it is!

Promise Yourself

To be strong that nothing

can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness,

and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel

that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything

an make your optimism come true.

To think only the best,

to work only for the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others

as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past

and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times

and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself

that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large to worry, too noble for anger,

too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,

not in loud words but great deeds.

To live in faith that the whole world is on your side

so long as you are true to the best that is in you."

- Christian D. Larson

*quote from Christian D. Larson's website*

Back in December my friend Wengsun was talking how

she knows where the best tau hway in Singapore... so we ended up at Old Airport Road's

Lao Ban Soya Beancurd stall!

...

So this is my haul from Watsons and the *SCAPE flea market during the weekend!

My loot!!

Muwahahahahaha!!

So let's begin with my Watsons haul!

I love going to Watsons~

They always have so many Japanese make up

and I just love spending my free time there!

There's a new hang out spot that I MUST MUST MUST

SHARE WITH YOU GUYS!

(especially if you're a dog lover!!)

I admit I'm actually more of a cat person...

BUT I LOVE ALL ANIMALS EQUALLY!!

♥♥♥♥♥

。ﾟ+.ﾟヽ(●´ω｀●)ﾉ。

...

My friend was the one who brought me here and at first...
I had no clue where I was going.
I thought we were going to go get something to eat cuz I was kinda...
hungry.

lololololol...

So this is the place!!

But honestly when I first saw this sign...

I was like...

O_O

Then I saw the words underneath that said

'we're the furballs'

OOOOOH~

This is what the place looks like

It looks like your usual cute cute cafe right?

WELL YOU'RE WRONG!!

Because this cafe is...

A DOG PLAY HOUSE!!

*applause/jump for joy/happy dance*

It's a place for people who loves dogs!!

If you have your own dog,

you can also bring him/her to the playhouse too!!

...

BUT!!!!

Before we can enjoy the extreme cuteness of the puppies...

Here are the WTF CLASS RULES!!

(MAKE SURE YOU READ THROUGH THIS!!!!!)

...

On the weekend I went to the Shibuya Girl's Makeover Session @ Ngee Ann City's Watsons!!

I was also super shocked because my Sensei was Hana!!!!!

I was late for the meeting time but she was nice to wait for me >__<

I felt bad for Hana because my eyelids were being a complete meanie to her TAT

If you guys didn't know... my eyelids are so fat

that I have an extra layer covering my double eyelids!!!

OTL

But Hana taught me a few tips and tricks to get double eyelids and I'll try to master them by myself (hopefully!!)

I also tried on bottom falsies for the first time in my life!!

O_O

It wasn't as scary as I thought!!

So I think I'll try to put both top and bottom falsies from now on~!!!!

Being very blurblur on that day...

I forgot to camwhore...

OTL

But I promise to attempt recreating the look that Hana-Sensei taught me!!

So stay tuned~!

...

Hana-sensei is a makeup artist!!

She's really nice, cute, fashionable, and fun!!
>_____<

Check out Hana's blog here!

& Hana's FB fan page here!

Also!

If you want to release your inner Gyaru

...

After the event I went to Daiso and got this

super cute falsies case!!

Cute right?!

...

It has 2 sections so you can put

your top and bottom falsies!!

A few weeks ago I went to my first play/show!!

I was super excited because it was also my first time to watch a play at the Esplanade!!

Previously I watched the Musical 'Wicked' at Marina Bay Sands

AND IT WAS AWESOME!!

Tammy and I will be planning to go watch Annie too!!

Shall blog about it after we go~!

So I didn't know what the play was about...

I was just asked to go by my friend with his other church mates so I thought, why not!

So this is on the day of the show!

Chilling outside the entrance~

Then I saw this poster near the entrance

Then I realized this play a comedy show!!

AND IT HAD SO MANY FAMOUS LOCAL COMEDIANS!!!

O________________O

*shock*

Even though I'm Japanese I grew up in Singapore,

SO I KNOW MOST OF THESE PEOPLE!!!

*I'm a super huge fan of Michelle Chong, Gurmit Singh,

and KUMAR!!!*

Who doesn't love Kumar?!?!?

Here's a better view of all the people in the show!!

Super awesome line up right?!?!

Recently I went to Watsons and I saw a new product

being displayed at the Maybelline counter!

*image from Golden Tan's website*

BB STICK?!?!

O_o?

I heard of BB cream and BB balm...

but not stick!!!

So I decided to get my hands on this BB stick!

Notice that I got it for $14.30 when it was on discount...

THAT'S THE AZN WAY TO DO IT! *thumbs up*

I'll be doing a review on it real soon!!!!

So stay tuned!

...

I didn't want you guys to get bored from just reading my haul x news

about the new BB stick...

SO!!!!!

Here's some videos and news that I found about the new BB stick!!!

Here's the commercial of the BB stick!!

Looks super promising right?

(especially the shine free part!!!)

...

So Maybelline Singapore decided to take a different approach

to advertise their new product!!!!

CHECK IT OUT!!

It's Michelle Chong!

(as Golden Tan lol)

I finally got to catch up with Tammy!!

She's been in Melbourne for uni!!!
NOW SHE'S BACK!!

So we decided to go where we LOVED to eat!!!
BASILICO!!!

@ The Regent Hotel!

I love love their buffet there!
It's a must go~

Tammy and I LOVE THEIR APPETIZERS
AND DESSERTS!!!

Our table PACKED with food!

They have all types of spreads available and it's just so yum!!!

...

Before lunch Tammy told me to close my eyes!

So I did as I was told...
and when I opened my eyes...

This was in front of me.

I was like

o_O?

So I started to open it and I was like....

What can it be?
(FYI this is my birthday present)

So as I started to open it....
