Lo and Behold as we present Miss-Queenie’s shop;
A site that all babes should never miss!

Despite the apparels being effortlessly chic,
Miss-Queenie kept pricing low and affordable to outwit her competition.
She’s easily stood out from the other instock-sprees’ sites with her offer in excellent service and best deals!

Each displayed outfits were specially handpicked & exclusively imported by the owner herself.

With animal printing being the current trend and to quickly keep up on track,
Queenie has also listed a gorgeous leopard prints’ dress on the site for immediate patronization:

Dress code: “BETSY”

Here’s the mini dress that she’s sponsored me;
almost similar design with the above, just that mine’s without the sleeves :

Embrace your curves with this lovely dress of a flattering cut:
*Ps, I’m wearing shorts inside, thus there’s a ugly v-cut when I cross my leg
(which is why I actually blurred the bottom area, dress is 100% fine!).

Don it on, together with the highly raved biker chic jacket!

These jackets aren’t just suitable for a day or night out,
it keeps you warm from your lecture hall!
Toss those boring cardigans away, babies :DDDD

Jacket code: “Kimmy”

This jacket is of the best grade material and quality,
and it comes with two different colors; brown and black.

It’s absolutely impossible for you to get another jacket of such excellent leather
compared to any of those sold outside!!!

How the hell would anywhere sell such awesome jacket for FREAKING $22?!?!?!?!?!

Miss Queenie’s huge variety of clothes, ranges from edgy to sassy,
to hot, sweet, dainty, mature and the list goes on!

Here’s a twist of my usual appearance:
Really girly, but I like!

Isn’t it as beautiful as the name suggests???
It’s labeled as “Winnie”!!!! (:

To look even better than ever, it’s about choosing the right outfits:

Happy Lunar Chinese New Year! 

I’ve been continuously eating steam boat for 5 days already (only because I’m addicted to it and my parents had to replenish the ingredients for me to play with :X)

Currently busy with:
Watching Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model while I’m typing this delayed entry,
hoping that it’s not too late yet.

Schedule’s beyond hectic and thus, the lack of time for a manicure appointment.
Painted red and a little shimmery to match the season:

The biggest hit in town.
Forget about the other competing film (as seen from the reviews around),
this is totally worth the catch.

I haven’t been laughing that much from movies lately,
this comedy easily got me laughing from the beginning till the end.

As my darling had a small involvement in the show,
she invited us together with her for the movie premiere.

I’m proud of her! It’s her turn to invite us :DDD

Special appearance:

After we managed to get a glimpsed of Zhu Hou Ren, we scooted off into the cinema:

And we’ve found a replacement for Fann Wong! (kidding duhs!)

A month ago, I entered the room and was shocked by my BF’s doing.
He actually did this to my mini piggy bolster, only because he’s jealous
that I would be hugging it to sleep :(((

In the movie itself, there would be a scene of Christopher Lee tying all of
Fann’s soft toys on the ceilings. LOL, such coincidental.

I couldn’t stop laughing at the part whereby Christopher tore the lion’s head apart. Wahaha.

I think guys these days are damn sadistic :X

Reunion lunch was held at BF’s place.
Halfway through in helping to bring out the ingredients, I snapped a picture =P

Then we returned home together for my family’s reunion dinner:

With BF included! Self-timer shot:

Part of the ingredients:

Salivating at my Sukiyaki Beef
(Specially for me!
My mum and Winnie doesn’t consume beef =P):

Sis posing only! =P
I just realized that she’s using chopsticks whereas mine’s a fork (Not intended!). LOL.
No wonder she speaks more of Mandarin whereas I’m the opposite.

Before bidding you goodnight,
here’s another picture of my nude face with no editing
(even my brows were not drawn), only with lashes on (:

 

 

 

 

Off to bed for a better tomorrow! (:

Crystal Dollies’ Handmade Accessories

http://www.crystaldollies.com/
http://www.crystaldollies.com/
http://www.crystaldollies.com/

Let me first begin with a brief introduction of Kelly, the owner of Crystal Dollies.
Kelly’s my dearest avid reader and I’m especially privileged
to be her first choice to advertise with.

Through my conversations with her,
Kelly had insisted on customizing accessories for me; that are of my individual liking.
She would try her best to accommodate with my requests and preference,
purely hoping that the accessories would match me perfectly.
I believe that her sincerity and patience has to be the reason why she has the capability to work with accessories of such fine quality.

Needless to say, it would have to take a real experienced artist
with delicate skills
to fabricate the following crafty and exquisite accessories:

(D)’BeDazzling Choker

This choker necklace is exactly what I would love
to pair with my beautiful dresses, anytime!
With a little feel of Tiffany&Co and yet having it’s own distinctiveness.

Perhaps it’s just me, but that (D)-like logo on the chain just seems to signify Dowager somehow! :X

Kelly also mentioned that this starfish crystal charm would switch colors depending on the clothes that you wear!

I think it would be yellowish when paired with white outfits
and a gorgeous blueish color; as seen in the pictures, when it goes with black!

(D)’Devote thy’love bracelet:

With Valentine’s Day approaching,
are you guys already fretting on how to surprise your love ones?

Quit sulking!

Simply scroll down a little further to see the best gift that could easily win a girl’s heart!

Here’s my little suggestion to spice it up:

1) Buy a bouquet of her favorite flowers.

As for my instance, champagne roses (:
Pick another flower of a different color (eg. red or white rose) so that it stands out from the rest and would easily represent her from the crowd.

2) Hang the bracelet over that particular different flower (otherwise, you might want
to get a gift box and place it in the middle)
and ask her to spot for something that symbolizes your love for her!

Or you girls could also get this lovely bracelet for your bff(s) on Valentine’s Day!
Spread your love babies (:

(D)’Oriental Chic Earrings

Embrace this season of Spring!

Thankfully for Crystal Dollies,
I’d even got my accessories ready to match my Chinese New Year dresses!

This pair of earrings have got really amazing details!

I like how the clay flowers make i
t so outstanding:

And if you’ve realized, I’m going for the dainty look on this Chinese New Year!

For customized handmade accessories, visit crystal dollies today!
I’m sure that the accessories would certainly be great gifts
for anyone or even yourselves!
(:

Invited Event 

Before heading down to attend the grand opening party,
we visited Milly to get our hair done first!

Check out the miniature straightener that they are giving out for free*!

 

 

My super long and lustrous hair! Looking really natural, isn’t it?

Interested, please visit Milly at: http://milly-s.blogspot.com/

My beautiful twinnie got her hair extensions braided on as well!
The well-experienced hair stylist temporary permed her straight long extensions.

My new catch; hot gladiator heels, while roaming around Far East Plaza:

We then popped by at Ncore to meet up with Lee Teng & the rest to leave for Zirca together:

My companions of that night:

Gathered with Winnie and cliques outside the club:

Our girlfriends are equally lunatic
and attempted to destroy the Heng sisters’ beautiful image :(

The first performance began with a fire play, right outside the club:

After extinguishing the fire, the performer then advised:

“Do not try this at home! Only try this at your friend’s house.”
But I thought: “Only try this outside Zirca” :X

Polaroid shots taken by Billy!
Thanks for the lovely images, dude!

Me, posing as a professional photographer with a mega toy
that I would wish to claim as my own:

Time for me to get a DSLR! Nikon or Canon?

Picture time with the Host; Lee Teng:

And we met Shi Xin Hui as well:

Opening speech by the other shop’s owner (Think Tattoo),
who collaborated with Teng for this party:

Ncore’s Boss; Ah Teng’s turn:

Another artistic performance:

I could better appreciate this tactical dance.
The dancer would hang his hand with the rope and dance mid-air!

After snapping with Celestina; one of Winnie’s cliques that she brought along,
Teng came and brought us out for pictures with his group of Media friends:

Right after taking the group picture,
suddenly something white came flying in all directions.

My immediate reaction was to run away as quick as I could.
BUT my hair was already stained with disgusting foam!!!

ARRGGHHHHHHH! Even though its a wee bit :(

Time to spot the REAL victim:

Hahahahahha! Poor Pornsak, filled with foam from top to bottom!
It was his birthday surprise!

After cleaning up, we celebrated his birthday with 2 cakes:

Jia Xi told me a joke that PornSak once said to him.

PornSak: You know right, when celebrites become recognized or popular,
they will be called Ah Jie or Ah Ge right?

Jia Xi: Ya, like Jacky Ge or Hui Yu Jie.

PornSak: Hanor, so if I become popular, I will be called “Porn Sak Ge”!

Jia Xi: LOL. Sound damn wrong! “Porn Sucker!” Hahahahahaa.

With the twins, Chen Xi (Left) & Jia Xi (Right):

 

 

With Jeff Wang:

Finally with the well known Birthday Boy; Porn Sak Ge!
Hahahahahaha :X

Thanks Ah Teng for inviting us, it was fun!
Congrats for your new opening!

May you HUAT in this brand new year of 2009!

 

 

Now, can you differentiate them already?
I got a split headache when both of them spoke at the same time

.

Don’t you just adore this cutey with leopard printing?
It’s easily utilized, especially for straightening my fringe.
Thanks to Milly for this little sweet gift :D

 

Ncore’s Party @ Zirca!

Please kindly write in to: peggy.hpy@gmail.com to enquire on the rates and details.
Definitely reasonable and beneficial for any businesses that require traffic / publicity /
database or additional volume of customers.

The sponsored items from my dearest advertiser arrived at my doorsteps in a huge package:

I was thrilled like a little kid as I unwrapped the presents just like my Christmas gifts.
Additional items to my exquisite beauty collection (It’s took me much effort to hand-pick
these from the hundreds of equally fantastic facial products as seen on the site) :

Here’s my take on personal care products:

I’m sure you’ve seen enough of cosmetics’ reviews around the net!
But I might still do it someday, depending on my mood :X

1) Review on: Privacy Vivi Body Moisturizer Cream
http://www.winkiepinkieshop.com/2007/03/privacy.html

As young as the age of 13 or the stage of puberty,
it’s inevitable for girls to be taking care of their own body.
Hydration is already necessary before the age catches up on you.
Even if you might be born with natural good and tender skin,
it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Furthermore, it’s suitable for anybody and can be shared among the family; even MR BF!
I got him to try on this product first, since he had a bad sun burnt from his regular dragon boating session (Not because I’m treating him as a guinea pig ok! Sheesh :X)

He had since applied it every single day without fail.
But his efforts were paid off!
His skin was well moisturized and the burns were healed effectively.

In the past when I scratches myself, the lines would remain visible for quite awhile.
And I’ve got this weird fetish about drawing tic tac toes on myself. LOL.

Upon usage of this body moisturizer with a flowery aroma,
not only did people mistook me for applying perfume of a nice and natural scent,
my skin has apparently became much smoother and brighter than ever.
And of course, the lines of my scratches would easily disappear within seconds (no kidding! I’m scratching myself now to double confirm.
And within a blink of eyelids, its gone!)

It’s surprisingly quite a big tub for the price and worthiness; at 150g.

2) Review on Yanagiya hair essence 120ml
http://www.winkiepinkieshop.com/2008/05/yanagiya.html

Usage: leave on hair essence, apply after hair wash, before it dries

Highly recommended by Da S for shiny and healthy hair!

A head of lustrous and healthy hair is definitely an additional beauty factor.

Many people don’t realize that our hair, just like our skin, is susceptible to a multitude of different form of external stress. Air-conditioning, UV, pollution, perming, coloring, excessive blow-drying and tonging, etc.
They all take their toll on our crowning glory. -as quoted from Fancl

Not only would the hair essence make hair softer and more moisturized instantly - almost frizz-free, it’s extremely beneficial to the hair and would act as a treatment to strengthen and replenish the essential protein and vitamins lost.

I must be smelling GOOD from top to bottom now,
with the usage of all these fragrance products.
Even my hair essence has the scent of roses!

I hate the fact that most of the leave on hair conditioner / essence,
are of sticky white substance with a weird smell.
This essence resembles the usual milk-like moisturizer and upon application,
my hair became smo
other and even my extensions are now tangle-free! (:

3) Review on Niu Er Beauty DIY Red Wine Hydra Mask
http://winkiepinkieskincare.blogspot.com/

Highly raved and mega recommendation from Nu Ren Wo Zui Da!

With red wine extracts as the active ingredient, the Red Wine Mask also aids Vitamin
C absorption and prevents oxidation,
which is the main cause of most of the visible signs of aging in the skin.
It offers intense firming action and softens wrinkles and fine lines.

Red Wine Mask is the ideal solution for an instant lift - great before a night out!

• Helps to firm the skin and restore suppleness
• Prevents oxidation
• Anti-aging
• Promotes vitamin C absorption
• Enhances facial blood circulation
• Eliminates acne-causing bacteria
• Restores radiance and glow

The longevity of young and radiant skin now comes easy and affordable at http://www.winkiepinkieshop.com/

Visit “WinkiePinkie” now for the BEST & affordable imported beauty products!
There are many in stocks as well!
Otherwise, orders could be placed quickly and easily too (:

Maybelline Unstoppable Launch Party

This is a delayed entry dated a month back.
And I’ve also attended the Maybelline’s “Mineral Launch” just yesterday.

Rem. to stay tuned to my upcoming post,
Because……

I’ll be showering my dearest readers with
Maybelline GoodyBags!

**Hint: Pay extra attention to the details in this entry.

There was a mini contest being held and
the top ten best make up would win the gel eyeliner.
Hence, I had to remove my makeup and reapply it with the products provided.

After look:

I opted for a simple make up with my eyes as the main focus.
First, I applied my base with the pearly gold eye shadow from Maybelline’s color palette
and lined my eyes with the brown gel eyeliner.

Then I blended the liner for a softer and sweeter look.
I also further highlighted the look by lining the inner corners of my eyes
with the provided “Smooth Pencil Shadow” in gold.
With the no hassle application,
it could be easily glided across the eyes as eyeshadow on it’s own as well!

Carol from Maybelline announcing the results:

And one of the winner goes to…….

YOURS TRULY!!!

I won the #1 gel eyeliner in Japan!
Other than the known fact that it’s smudge and water proof,
the eyestudio creamy gel eyeliner’s soft gel texture could glide smoothly and
easily into the eyelids and provides excellent flexibility in thickness of line.

What’s more?
Not only is it retailing at an extremely low price of only $19.90,
accompanying it in the package for free is an exclusive calligraphy brush
which provides good control for application!


Expressing our joy:

My two other babes who had won respectively as well:

Both of us looking young and vibrant with light makeup:

With the gorgeous Carol! Maybelline works wonders, doesn’t it?

And the photographer that day a.k.a Mr Loreal:

Ending the party with a group photo of all the invited guests:

I stole a pink daisy from the decorations:

Check out those lashes!
Many had been asking me if I do stick faux lashes on the bottom.

Of course not, that’s gonna be way too exaggerating.

I’m a loyal of Maybelline’s mascara because it’s my trusty for full and long lashes
that are equivalent to faux lashes!
Of course, the new unstoppable curly extension mascara didn’t disappoint me either!

Here’s the immediate extension effects

The “Unstoppable Curly” lengthens lashes up to 45%
From here, you can also see the really thin lining that
I’ve easily applied with the recommendable brush:

Smudge-proof (like the rest of the Unstoppable family)

Build-able micro-fibers to achieve desired lash look

I think it has made my lashes even longer than faux lashes? =P

Curl-lock gel formula for 12 hr amazing curl keep


The Maybelline Unstoppable Extension Mascara is retailing at $17.90 only!
Embrace the natural look:

I’ve tried several eyeliners ranging from pencil to liquid and to gel,
from different brands before.
But this is honestly the best of the best that I’ve came across.
Lining the bottom rim of the eyes is never an easy task.
But Maybelline made it possible with the smoothness of the liner
and delicateness of the brush!
Go for it if you do not want smudging beneath your eyes after a day of shopping
(It’s proven credible and is currently my daily usage).

This time the goodie bag given to me, focuses on the eyes.
Hence, accompanying it is a natural shade water shine lipstick
(The highlight should be on either the eyes or lips only,
otherwise the look would appear overwhelming).

How to care for your hair

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

 

 

 

Simple and easy steps that I do daily

for the maintenance and care of my precious hair!

 

 

 

1st step:

 

After washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner,

I would towel it dry and leave it to air naturally while I do up my makeup.

Some of my girlfriends would dry their hair with the fan. Lol.

Whatever method you use, avoid blowing it with a hairdryer

as it’s pretty damaging for the hair.

 

Once it’s partially dry, I would then brush it carefully,

avoiding the braiding portion of my extensions.

It’s important to brush my hair to prevent my extensions from tangling.

 

 

Here’s basically how I would do it, brush it on the front first, then the back:

 

 IMG_3588 IMG_3595

 

 

 

 

2nd step:

 

Sometimes, I would straighten my hair during bad hair days; when it’s not that straight and frizz-free.

I’m quite a perfectionist and would pay attention to small minor details,

so it’s important to me that my hair is always well kempt.

 

However, before straightening your hair,

always remember to spray and comb through your damp hair

with L’OREAL studio HotStraight thermo straightening spray!

It straightens and protects you hair to provide silky result!

 

IMG_3548

 

 

 

 

Make sure that your hair is dry before you utilize the tongs.

 

IMG_3569

 

 

 

 

Finally:

 

To ensure the smoothness and the shine of my hair,

the application of leave on conditioner (Non-rinse hair treatment essence) is a MUST!

It repairs my hair and prevents knots and tangles in my hair while creating a beautiful straight hair!

 

Always apply from your hair roots and comb through your hair with the remaining essence. But please avoid the scalps!

 

IMG_3470 IMG_3540

 

 

 

 

Bonus tip:

 

Remember to do hair treatment every other week!

For me, I go with “D.I.Y” method.

I would apply moisture treatment mask every once a week to deeply repair

and straighten my hair. It also helps to prevent breakage and split ends!

 

IMG_3600

 

 

 

 

And I’m all ready to head out for a great day with my friends, are you? (:

Wait! Not before you vote for me!

 

Do vote for me! Thanks a plenty! <3

A day of Love and Berry

All prepared and ready to set off with my favorite pair of rocker acid wash jeans:

This has gotta be my favorite pair for the time being!
I had set my eyes on it immediately when I came across this exquisite piece.
Embarrassing enough, it is the most outstanding one in my cupboard for now.
Lets just say that I’m praying that it won’t get HOT in the market, any time soon :(

And I’m bringing along this little devil of mine to her kids’ heaven.

Take note: Her DS Lite

Enthusiastic? Hmms…

She’s always avoiding the camera when the focus is on her.
Yet she would pull all sort of funny antics when you’re cam-whoring away without her.

And yes there you go, the missy Joey Heng:

Journey to the East:

Impatient about the trip, baby temper:

Finally!

Parkway’s Arcade!

One of the card from her book of collection:

In order to satisfy her craze over this new game; originated from Japan,
I had a hard time surfing through the net for this DS Lite package (inclusive of the cartridge, card reader and 60 Japanese cards) - This game is not sold in SG yet!

Finally managed to get it for her at a fabulous price,
taking into consideration of the amount that we could easily save
from playing at the arcade.

Kids are just so fortunate these days, aren’t they?

That’s how I celebrated post-Xmas for my baby sister!
The actual Xmas party shall be updated in awhile (:


To be continued…
