BURGLARY X ZOUK

Haiiiiiiiiii girls~~

Who's in need of unique accessories but can't find them at reasonable price? 
If you don't already know, I'm a very accessories kinda girl. Okay fine, bag and shoes too... SO I was thrilled when the owner of Burglary approached me for an advertorial. I don't think you would want to miss this advertorial so don't leave my blog yet!


BURGLARY is born out of wedlock by Astrid and her love for cult jewelry. Designer by day and jewelry aficionado by night, Astrid believes that accessories maketh the outfit thus founding this online boutique. At BURGLARY, they curate statement pieces with a dash of quirkiness. Every single piece of jewelry is handpicked for its unique detailing and eclectic style.


These are the gorgeous accessories they sent me and I'm wearing them to death, especially the skull bracelets. If you could sniff some difference in this advertorial, I'm feeling a 40s glam rock for Burglary!
I even tonged my fringe and put a different kinda make up for this advert(no eyeliner and strong lips)




This spike hair tie adds a tinge of character to the look!



UNICORN LOVERS LOOK OUT!!! 
Gold-plated finish and bullet clutch fastening! It's so different from my usual pearl ear studs. I'm definitely wearing these unicorns out more often (:


And my super worn to death claw ring!!! I have way too many loud rings so this is a perfect one to tone my finger swag down a little. Not forgetting "We are golden" necklace which goes extremely well with my white shirt. 


These skull bangles are by far THE BEST bangles to match with my chunky wrist accessories. 
I kid you not, BUT I LOVE ALL THE ACCESSORIES THEY SENT ME!!!

The craziest mind-blasting thing is that...ALL THE ACCESSORIES I FEATURED HERE IS LESS THAN $10 EACH!
How is that even possible that it's so nice, decent quality, and so cheap?!

Heh how can I not camwhore a bit with such nice *ahem self proclaimed* nice hair!
If you're already following me on instagram/twitter, you would know that I am giving my room a new look.
Revamp is probably an overstatement since I'm just making minor changes, but I got to say I'm in love with my room now!

I'll be doing a room tour post VERY soon so you gotta stay tune to this space! Promise you it's gonna be saucy! :D 
Hint : the advert photos are taken in my room!

Lastly, here some some #TGIW visuals.








Koped this from Kalyn's ig!

And this was on Friday.




Wahah check out my nails.




That's all I have today (:
Will update again soon

Have You Met MUA?

Hi everyone,

I hope you guys are doing well and had a nice Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I spent my Black Friday in bed going through loops at Coastal Scents website. Two hours later and I could not even fit in my order. Que horrible! In the end, a friend came to my rescue and CP the things I wanted for me, phew!


Lately, I have been obsessed with this new find: Makeup Academy, have you heard of it? Apparently, it's like a better version of Eyes Lips Face (ELF) in U.K with products ranging from 1-5 pounds! I read the reviews, saw the swatches and then decided it's worth my salt. On top of that, once in a while, they offer a discount with free shipping!

After doing a lot of research, I found these items receive lots of rave from the internet. In case you want to make a haul from MUA, here is the short list:

  • Palettes: Heaven and Earth and Undressed. At 4 pounds a pop, these palettes are perfect dupes of Urban Decay Naked and Naked 2 palettes for a fraction of the price. They go even cheaper when purchased in a sale event.
  • Lipsticks: 16 shades, a pound a pop, pigmented but not dried out? Srsly, this is a makeup addict's dream came true. Even when you buy all 16 shades, they're still cheaper than a high-end lipstick.
  • Blushers: they have a couple of options when it comes to blushes but I found the 1-pound blushers to be just as good.
  • Brushes: they just came out with makeup brushes and from the look, I can tell these brushes are similar to ELF Studio but (probably) with better quality. Also, they have a stippling brush that looks like MAC 188.
It's hard not to go crazy when you browse MUA Store website. The products look good and from the internet searches, they also have good quality. On top of that, MUA has international shipping at reasonable price. This is something ELF no longer does and as much as I love ELF, I can no longer support it. But MUA is a different story. I have never heard a complaint of tardy shipping ever. And did I say their products are good? Seriously, British people, what are you doing? Why do you make us love you so?

Since I found out about Makeup Academy, I've had a big relief. Now, I can buy makeup at reasonable prices and have them ship to me as well. All I need is a new credit card and a lot of restraint to stop me from wiping out the whole store!

How about you? Have you met MUA?

With love,
Dao xoxo

[AD] SALON VIM X THE VAUNT CLOSET

My hair was very dry and a bit damaged due to all the chemical services I did for the past one month so I had to go back to my favorite hair salon : SALON VIM to fix it!

Not very obvious in this picture, but my hair's super hard to manage and the ends were very dry!


Quite bad right?

When I walked into Salon Vim, I literally whined to my hair stylist Fiona 
"Please help me my hair is soooooooo dry!!!!!"

She's like OKAY NO DYEING OR PERMING YOUR HAIR TODAY!!! I'll only help you trim and do treatment.

She's like my hair's mama, take care of my hair all and ensure I don't damage it further <3


So after she trimmed my hair, we proceeded to the usual Redken treatment which I blogged about here! This is the first step (:

This time she used 3 shots which target my dry ends! It's my 3rd time doing this treatment so far and I'm still loving it. It really helps to soften my hair and makes it more manageable.


Waiting for the first step treatment to set in before hair wash. Did I mention I love the head massage there????
I secretly didn't want my hair wash to end cos the head massage is really relaxing. I've got a stiff neck due to all the late nights I have with my laptop so I'm always looking forward to massages!


Fiona mixing my cocktail treatment (:

And here's the final result....


My hair is a lot more manageable, more bouncy and lighter! Fiona always does an amazing job to my hair and I always leave Salon Vim feeling SUPER satisfied. 

UH HUH OH YEAH *FLIPS HAIR*


Fiona was also very kind to let me take home Redken hairspray to use when I tong my hair (:


So glad that my hair is healthier-looking and lighter now!!!

☆GC WEEKEND☆

BONJOUR~~

I had a really great weekend last week! So to kick start my "TGIF", Mich and I went to Marriot Hotel for high-tea buffet!

And here's her trying to get more tea I think, DRAMA QUEEN TITLE GIVE YOU OKAY.
Hahah look at the caucasian behind. He's totally like...OHLAWDY what's this girl doing?!



The spread was good! Mich and I love it. There were teochew porridge section, a small section of seafood and not forgetting salmon, small jap section and a few asian counters which include Singapore cuisine and Hong Kong cuisine! The dessert section was pretty damn insane, I LOVE!!!

I didn't go to the counters to take pictures cos personally I think it looks a bit rude. Like people trying to scoop food to their plate and you're there taking photos. ALSO I JUST WANT TO WHACK ALREADY LUH. Buffet eh, the food is like screaming "EAT ME NOW BITCHHHHH!!!"


There was even a Rojak counter whereby you have to DIY!!! They have all the ingredients in small bowls and you just gotta pick what you want mix it altogether with the sauces. Makes me feel likka pro, not kidding!

MM AHEM I THINK MY ROJAK IS HAWKER STALL WORTHY
*Strikes a smug*
It's damn good okay, I couldn't stop eating and I kept telling Michelle I'm gonna open a rojak stall already!!


Tq for taking time out to lunch with me despite having exam next week. All the best if you see this 
I think Mich and I are pretty similar, like our thinking and our relationships so we can hit off very well. She's a very cute/cartoon character as well, so it's really fun being with her!!


DESSERT TIME OOOLALA~~~~
The tea is freaking awesome too!

If there was one thing in the world I can't live without, that would be desserts!

Headed off to Gushcloud office at night for Thanksgiving dinner/drinks (:


Priddy Donzy and Freda...and my sticky wet fringe. Thanks ah rain.


Gushcloud holds a mini gathering aka "GCweekend" on the 3rd Friday of every month where they convert the backyard into a bar, and that was actually my first time joining them after being with Gushcloud for close to half a year.

Thank you Carmen for inviting me, it was really fun <3 Can't wait for the next GCweekend already!!


Even got special dance performance by Narpal which we all couldn't stop laughing!

Last minute decision to club cos Donna wanted to and I promised her I would if she wants to go. Hence, the flats, HATE CLUBBING WITH FLATS. I don't like feeling short with everyone towering over me. I don't even mind wearing maxi dress or what, just no flats!!


All the colourful heads again! They make me look like a boring Jane :( Hahah I wish I had the balls to go pink or something but nope... balls too small. And I care too much about having damaged hair. 


Aaron!
My TJM fashion show model, remember???? The one at Zouk! Handsome right? But sorry, attached to my friend Gerri Berri already ^^


Daryl!! 
First time meeting him and I like his character already! Super cute and fun, plus damn easy to talk to! (: People like him kill the inner autistic side in me lol, good good!


Jiawei and Tammy!


Hahah #siaoliao this girl.
Didn't get to see Sofie and the rest but at least the night ended on a very good note (: yeah except for that sticky wet fringe of mine -.-

Went over to Daniel's the next day *YAYYER YAY*


Wanted my complexion and feet to rest so it was a dress down Saturday!
Thank God for good hair day and Iphone filter ^^ Only had concealer, blusher, and lipbalm on but still look ok! 
FINE I ADMIT I THINK IT'S GOOD LUH, NOT OK. Hahahaha


Went to buy christmas deco and christmas tree for his house! And I bought back two new friends.
Brown is called Hippowoods, have yet to name the white one. Polarwoods?

Mm the name is actually inspired by Daniel.

Daniel : "EH, I THINK I STILL GOT MY GOLFING SKILLS" *playing golf in his room with his imaginary golf club*

Me : "Wah you think you tigerwoods ah? More like hippowoods"

I just bought Hippo kinderbueno so I anyhow bomb one.

Me : "OKAY I'M GONNA NAME MY TEDDY BEAR AFTER YOU, YOU AND HIM ARE NOW HIPPOWOODS "

Random right? But better than him giving lame names to my bears like... BABA -.- That's what he named my panda from Hongkong
Polarwoods and Hippowoods got first class seats ^^

So anyways, we went for dinner at La Petite then headed back to set up the christmas tree FROM SCRATCH. It was a lot of effort but the satisfaction you get after seeing a beautiful tall tree is...unbelievable. 


NICE RIGHT? Feeling the christmas season already!


Some clay mask before sleeping (:

Woke up at 8am to accompany Daniel's brother for his band photoshoot and yes, this is my get-ready-in-10-mins-face.

Washed up, changed up, concealer and pam... gone in 10 minutes. LIKE A PRO! Hahah.

Really love this weekend though it was pretty simple (:
I've learnt something and that's not to keep your expectations too high and you'll learn to be contented with a lot of things! 

I hope your weekend was great! 

JUICE 77 {DIAMONDS IN THE SKY} IS LAUNCHED!
