December December!

December, as always, is an exciting month, cos' there are so many things happening all at the same time.

I wonder how do I find time to blog with this list of "to-do"s:

- Photoshoot on Sunday evening (rushing because dear Jess is going away for December :()
- Community work next Sunday
- Appreciation Dinner with fellow workers following Sunday
- Candlelight service and JB retreat! following Sunday
- Christmas weekend!

On top of these, I am planning:

- 2 launches in December (oh yay but how do I manage?)
- dozens of Christmas pressies to get (how do I get to town when weekends are fully lined up ahead?)

I need superman capability = supernatural ability = supernatural grace!

Collection 14: Bascially Pretty

I have been burying myself all Sunday in the final editing of our next collection and am happy to announce that Collection 14: Basically Pretty is launched :)

Happy shopping ladies! Click anywhere on the picture to shop!

Christmas Wishlist Out Early!

I've drafted up a Christmas wishlist, cos' I splurged TOO MUCH on blogshopping and need them no more, for now. Even if you find me thick-skinned, with all the Christmas exchanges coming up, it's all in good timing. Plus, I am so super practical I think it's no point trying to guess what someone likes. Teehee.

And guess what, it's all......makeup-related!

~ Sunscreen cum moisturizer (untinted kind) - horrifying to find out that my moisturizer does not come with SPF protection!
~ Illuminating makeup base - something you apply before foundation. I love those that has pearlish ingredients to add to the face a natural glow
~  Concealer - trust me, all my life I have never needed one. I never have dark eye rings, oh blessed complexion! But I should have one to cover zit marks.
~ Black eyeliner pencil - a variation to my liquid liner
~ Soft angled brush - for tricky lower eyelids application
~ Nude lip gloss - the best lip accessory for most makeup colours

The best Christmas gifts I received last year were hand creams from 3 different ladies. The creams served me so well as I have these perpetually dry hands, and I'm only currently into the 3rd tube! And I loved the brands they chose, Kiehl's and Crabtree & Evelyn. Now what did I say about practical gifts? It saved me a whole year of buying hand moisturizers! You gals are thoughtful and I love you for it ♥♥

Sweet Hints

I just picked up the phone to this message:

Dar: "You are wanted tomorrow at 2.30pm."

Me: "Oh why? What's up?"

Dar: "I've booked Harry Potter special preview"

Ain't he sweet? I am looking forward to the holiday already. =D

Prelude to Monday

I had a good whole of 4 days' rest - loaded up on sleep and quality time with Dar, friends and family.

Stacy just arrived! Finally, since I placed an order for it in early September. Think I wrote countless emails to bother the gals at AE. I'm still your loyal fan, please put up with me!

And the cooling rainy weather outside is bliss...

Gonna work on the editng for Collection 14 - but I'll start tomorrow. There's this beautiful bag that I wanna share with you! I can't wait! ♥♥
It has gotten stares and comments when I breezed past the ladies.
"Her bag is cute!"
"Nice colour!"
So I try and hold off my excitement a little.

Back to Ikea and Utilitarian

Finally tried the raved about chicken wings at Ikea - not bad! Slurp!
