the hopeless romantic quickie ;)

i've always liked the too faced quickie chronicles make-up palettes.
haven't had the interest to buy new make-up for a while... but "the hopeless romantic quickie" palette just looks so sweet, pretty and oh-so-romantic :)

this 2-layer palette comes with a sultry retro-illustration-cover, and features seductive hues of too faced quickie eye shadown, blush and lip gloss. best of all, the colours all look so wearable and pretty (subtle rosy pinks and neutral tones)!
guess i wouldn't mind adding this to my make-up collection ;) - US$29.50

too bad, not available in singapore...

*yoohoo* 8 long weekends in 2009...

yeah! good news! we've got EIGHT long weekends next year (2009)! check out the "just-released" 2009 singapore public holidays listing below, and plan ahead for your vacations ;)

(*following monday to be substituted as public holiday)

actually, looking at all the public holiday dates above, i'd say ALL 10 dates can each be extended into a long weekend. sweet :) now, time to "fight" other colleagues and submit your leave-application early!

FYI, this year we've only got 3 long weekends...

yay! congratulations, singapore!

m.a.c cosmetics with fafi

(pictures courtesy of www.temptalia.com)

i'm not a huge fan of m.a.c cosmetics but i'm always tempted by packaging... like this upcoming collaboration with grafitti artist - fafi. pretty interesting, erh? :)
i like the iridescent powder (topmost - right side) and the little purses...

i first heard of fafi in mid-2007 when she jointly launched a limited-collection line of bags and accessories with lesportsac - fafi for lesportsac. some friends find her drawings somewhat trashy or even "scary". i guess it's cuz fafi's girls are not the typical sweety-dolly type. still, i tend to get attracted by colourful illustrations like fafi's or my fav - jordi labanda. if m.a.c. ever ties up with jordi labanda, i'll definitely get my hands on them.. hehe.

check out more details on m.a.c fafi on temptalia.

ps: just read on cozycot forums that singapore is one of the locations (16 feb) for the official m.a.c. fafi world tour 2008 - for more details, check out ck tangs website.
