stalking Melissa ... and fantasizing about her!

For the past months, I've been watching Melissa up close. Before you judge me and take me for an obsessive stalker, I'm talking about the one you can find at ZALORA Singapore . I'm the type of online shopper that keep tabs on my wishlist and thinks many times over before buying something that usually don't go on sale. This is the case with me about Melissa shoes. A few years ago, I only found out about Melissa through other bloggers posting about this supposedly comfortable yet trendy shoes. At the time I find it unattractive, as the designs available seemed more appropriate for a child. Don't shoot me - that's how I felt before. However, as time passed by, I noticed their line evolved into what I would definitely buy. And now, I want to share with you my wishlist and why each has a soft spot in my heel - oh wait, it should be my heart hehe! Gold is the selling point of this shoe. I'm a sucker for gem-colored shoes and if it's gold- or silver-...

food - no, wait - "shoes" for thought?

I know this blog is dedicated to makeup but in the recent months, I can't help but be obsessed with shoes like never before. I'm the type of gal that can live on two pairs of shoes - one for work and another for going out. But lately, I've purchased boots, wedges and flats. I guess I'm a late bloomer when it comes to discovering my taste in fashion. Or perhaps am reinventing myself. Whatever it may be, my feet are pretty happy. Although, as always, my wallet isn't. LOL I'm not sure what it is that attracts me specifically to a certain type of shoe yet but I know I'm staying true to myself with my choices. Take for example these: Usual thing that comes to my mind when it comes to buying shoes is, "Can I use it for work?" No surprises there. But I must say, I'm tired of wearing black shoes all the time. Bright colored footwear is a very good topic to break the ice with a colleague you bumped in the hallway. (^_~) And if you know me, I ...

Get ready for the BF!

Yes, it's that day of the year again waited upon by eager shoppers -- Black Friday. I think it's one of the best times of the year to hoard for almost anything and everything, especially if you're based in the US. Why? Across all kinds, brands and range of products and items there are just so much variety to choose from at highly discounted prices. This "shopping holiday" is strategically practiced just a few days shy from the Christmas gift-giving season so shopping for yourself and loved ones (and may be for your enemies too!) just got a lot more convenient, timely and cost-effective. Good news for Singapore-based gals like us, Black Friday has definitely rubbed off on some local companies who's merrily jumping onto the sales bandwagon. Nowadays, this is even sweeter as the deals are not only available at our favorite or popular department stores and boutiques but available dominantly in online shopping! I'm a busy momma -- what with my crazy workload...

Luxola: A Wonderful Surprise

few years ago, i got really addicted with online shopping. from discovering my HG MMU foundation by Joppa Minerals to hoarding cheap brushes from Coastal Scents , i was on a high. but the long waiting (usually more than 2 weeks since they come from US by the cheapest shipping method) turned me off and made me gave it up. recently though, my online shopping activity was revived. why? because i met Luxola . i chanced upon this site when i was browsing Sephora Singapore facebook page. a member mentioned their website and i thought of checking it out. wow, i didn't realized i was in for a treat! they have a selective but very interesting product lineup - Face Atelier, Becca Cosmetics, Sleek Makeup and what caught my eye, Deborah Lippmann nail polishes! i quickly ordered three shades: Bad Romance, Across the Universe and Ruby Red Slippers (which i gave to Nikki when we met last Thursday).  my order came in a chic paper bag with their identity - i was impressed! accurate order - ch...
