Maybelline Feline Chic eyes contest

I took part in Maybelline's facebook group contest for the promotion of their new feline range of mascara.

What we had to do was: transform lovely eyes into gorgeous cat eyes...> Mascara, liners and all!

The prize? $80 hamper worth of Maybelline's products!!

Guess what?? I was one of the winners!!! SHIOKNESS.

Here are my entries for the contest:


Blue eyed kitten


Miss L-E-O-P-A-R-D


The Tigress.

How artistic of me to only draw stripes on one eye. I was lazy and used this as a convenient excuse! haha

The reason I took part was because I wanted the free hamper!! It's $80 worth of makeup that i sure could put to good use! Oh so attractive...

Besides, I have this thing for thinking out of the 'box'. So, combined with my wonderful makeup skills (HAHAHA), I got this 98% hunch that I'll win this contest.

Free stuff in times of recession! What better way to cut cost? Im being thrifty here. :D.

Imma Shopaholic?

I've the strongest urge to shop recently! After lying dormant for 2 months or so, the itch is back with a vengeance!

Just watched "Confessions of a Shopaholic" where mannequins actually 'talk' to Becky Bloomwood (female lead)

I think I might be experiencing mannequins talking to me soon.

ARGH!

Proud owner of a pair of limited edition white Onitsuka tiger pumps. My utmost FAVOURITE! $139

TADAH!


I brooded for about a week before I decided to add this 'limited' member to my already overflowing shoe collection. Click here.

It's not everyday you get to find white pumps like these ever!
right ??? Right?? RIGHT???

I bought makeup brushes (but I feel they are ultra worth it because they are so nice to use!)


From left:

This is the Kabuki brush (whatever that is) that allows even distribution of power on your face. I got it to use with my mineral powder foundation! Mineral foundation is really good! Especially combined with this wonderful Kabuki brush....
Light and flawless (well.. almost)

Next is the shadow contour brush, which I got, to contour my nose.

3rd from left: I lost my eyebrow groomer so this is actually a replacement. :D followed by the eyebrow brush.


I got eye shadow-SS

Got a BeautiFUL ZEBRA makeup pouch! So cheap! only $9.90 GOTTA have it!


I got dead skin scraper (callus removal tool) for the feet
(well, sales person says it lasts a lifetime and doesn't cut the foot as blades do and yet still effective...)
$22.90 cost divided by period of time=WORTH it

It's a wonder what this small tool can do to ugly dead skin! (top)

I have tweezer cum blackhead exfoliator (bottom). $9.90 (She claims it doesn't scar the face unlike the usual metal blackhead remover... Gotta have it too right?)

I got the Super effective eye makeup remover, especially good for removing the stubborn eyelash glue~

Fake eyelash clip to facilitate the sticking on of falsies...


I now own a pony tail wig to further decorate my hair.. I'm so into wigs right now...


Got a cheap version of a knitted bandana cap look alike. $3.50! Good deal! Similar design as the ones I saw in Forever 21 ages ago, selling for $20 + or so..
Just because, I like this girly look!
