Maybelline BABY LIPS Part 2

Oh yes! I just couldn't resist! I did buy the other two that I said I would buy...


I bought the Hydrate and Peach Kiss. (I even have the Hydrate on me now as we speak.)


I bought these in Tesco 2 for £5 at the moment.

Now I have all the BABY LIPS that I want!



L-R: Pink Punch, Cherry Me, Peach Kiss & Hydrate.

If I have to choose which one is my favourite, I would go for Cherry Me. I use it almost everyday! It's got that natural red blush colour that enhances the colour of my lips. But now that I have Hydrate, I might use this one more often. I use Pink Punch when I go out. As for Peach Kiss, I'm not so sure if the colour comes out too much when applied on, but I still love the subtle orange-y colour. I have very red lips naturally and it's sometimes hard to put on lighter coloured lipstick on them without putting a bit of concealer first. 


Swatches. L-R: Pink Punch, Hydrate, Peach Kiss & Cherry Me.

I would definitely buy these again (more particularly Cherry Me & Hydrate) as they really work for me as a lip balm in general. The only other lip balm that has worked for me and have used over and over again is Chaptstick's Green Apple but that wasn't tinted so these Baby Lips collection is truly a cherry on top of the ice cream.

(K-POP) EXO Growl


Just want to say that I am so addicted to EXO's song Growl! It's been playing in my head all week! "NA URURONG URURONG URURONG DE! NA URURONG URURONG URURONG DE! NA URURONG URURONG URURONG DE!" Even when I woke up this morning it's the first thing that was playing in my head! I even have the bloody addictive song on repeat right now, as I'm writing this blog!

The song is so upbeat and catchy! I'm not really a fan of EXO but I've been keeping my eye on them for a while now. I'm more of a YG Stan (lol) but I like other Korean artists from here and there like B.A.P. I know they debuted ages ago but I have to say... EXO is growing on me! They have good harmony and all of them are good at singing and dancing. Not only that they are really packed full of talents! I'm looking forward to my future fangirling with these boys. For now, Growl is the only song that stood out for me from them. As for EXO biases I have two! Lay and Chanyeol! Cuteness overload! Haha!

"NA URURONG URURONG URURONG DE! NA URURONG URURONG URURONG DE! NA URURONG URURONG URURONG DE!"

A/W13 TREND ALERT! OVERSIZED JACKETS & COATS

This season's trends are now set and I have to say, some are my kind of style. I have always been a fan of oversized clothing and actually own a few (okay, maybe a lot!) oversized clothing that I have collected over time. Some from vintage stores, some are hand-me-downs from elders and some I bought from high street shops. Here are some of the Oversized Pieces that I love from the catwalk. (catwalk photos grabbed from style.com)

I love this Dolce and Gabbana coat!  The tartan/paisley print is also on trend this season. I would've loved this better if it was in red though.

 Furrrr... I super LOVE this Saint Laurent fur coat! It just looks so warm and soft. Not to mention that it screams LUXURY all over it! I also adore the old-ish pastel colour which adds in a chic style to the coat.

 Girly, neat and smart. Simone Rocha's coat is perfect for everyday stylish corporate ladies out there. The pastel pink colour has a nice tone to it, sure will attract positive attention! Perfect for 'afternoon tea' days out too! Plus, how nice are those matching boots?!

Now that I have shown my designer picks, I'll show you some high street/online pieces that I have come across and particularly like whilst browsing online and window shopping!

LOVE ASOS! I always do my shopping on this site! Hence, my ASOS Premier membership! I'm recently fond of boucle and this oversized blazer just ticks all the boxes for the current trends. It's oversized, grungy and punk looking. I actually have a jacket similar to this but in a different colour. So, definitely something I would wear in a day to day basis.

H&M Short Coat. Oversized, fur, contrasting trims - Need I say more?

Another choice from H&M. I love the sheepskin look. And I just love wearing beige/natural colours!

Oversized blazer from Bershka (£29.99). I love the pastel colour! I would probably wear this with rolled-up sleeves and a buttoned up shirt. The trendy office-girl look.

This coat is from Mango (£119.99). Another coat that I would wear everyday! It's also wool-blend, which makes it warm during the cold, freezing days of winter. Can match with oversized scarf too, anyone?

GEO Grang Grang (Big) CHOCO Circle Lens Review

I was woken up by a knock on the door one morning... A parcel came from the post coming from Hong Kong. I only ordered one thing that will be coming from Hong Kong, that is my circle lenses! I bought the GEO GRANG GRANG (BIG) CHOCO CIRCLE LENSES from Eye Candy's. I bought my very first circle lenses from them and I have been a very satisfied customer since. So I decided to buy a second one!

Here's what's inside!


The circle lenses are inside a  cute little pouch bag and came in a bottle unlike other usual contact lenses that are in plastic disposable containers. The package came with a Wear & Care guide which is very useful and helpful for first time users and remind those who are already using them for a time. The contact card also serves as a little note card for you to write on to remind you of when your circle lenses are going to expire. Pretty Good right? However I didn't expect to get a free lens case! And to add to that, they are so cute!


I got an adorable Mio Friends Character Lens Case that also came with lens tweezers.



These circle lenses are soft lenses and made in South Korea. I ordered these particular contact lenses because they can be ordered with your eye prescription rate. I'm a little blind so I have to be able to see when I put these contacts on. It would be so pointless to wear glasses on top of the circle lenses right?

Here's what I look like when I put them on... (sorry excuse my face. lol)


I've put the lenses on for more than 8 hours, they were very comfortable and did not dry at all. They look very natural with my brown eyes and barely noticeable unless looking closely. I initially thought they would be too big and obvious but once I've put them on they look great. I love the fact that it's very subtle but gives out the doll look very nicely.

Overall, I love this circle lenses! Anything that is comfortable for my eyes is a plus! You can wear these for everyday but I don't normally wear contacts on a daily basis so I would definitely wear these when I go out.
