Chinese New Years and Jewelry Haul

I've been lazy and avoided blogging! Actually I've been swamped with work so blogging has been on the back burner lately..... at least I am blogging once a week! =P

Anyway here is my haul from Steph of Julu Jewelry:

Always the immaculate wrapper!! I love all the candy she included, of which I gobbled all up the next day! SO YUMMY! Steph was also too kind and included the VS sparkling eyeshadow in Twinkled Pink for me to try! Unfortunately my plans to dress up for Vday and to test out the eyeshadow failed because I ended up staying at home for CNY (therefore I decided to slob it down for the day =P)

I ordered the Golden Bow Earrings with Hearts and the Star Bit Clusters necklace. When I first saw the golden bow earrings I just fell in love with them!! I knew I had to have them so I made sure Steph reserved them for me. To be honest, I also had the deep sea blue hearts earrings in the shopping cart as well, but Mr. W said I was too greedy and should let some other girl out there be lucky for once... (aka I need to exercise some self restraint -__-;;), so in the end I had to let the other pair go... but now I am kicking myself because it looks like it's been sold! I've been wearing these almost every day because they are 14K filled wires and have not had any allergic reactions.

 

(testing out my internal 1.3MP camera on GD580 /lollipop cellphone.....not bad quality!)

I've also been interchanging my star bit clusters necklace with the small heart necklace (also from Julu Jewelry) every day causing Mr. W to be quite miffed since I've been neglecting the heart necklace he got for me from Swarovski -haha!!. Thanks Steph! (Don't worry, I take full responsibility for the petty arguments between Mr.W and I :p)

 

This is the montage of all the meat I had on chinese new years. My mouth is watering right now writing this post!! 

Happy Friday!!

Taiwanese Makeup Artist 古小偉Book Is Out!

This is 古小偉老師's 3rd book out and inside are really good tips and tutorials on makeup. I NEED TO GET MY HANDS ON THIS!!! Original photos are from Ayaka's blog.

Below are some excerpts from his book (credits to Ayaka):

  

 

If you want translations for some of these, please let me know. I have yet to try these tips but from the looks of it, it looks pretty simple!  But 古小偉 usually does not create complex looks; even though the look is simple, it also turns out to be amazing.

I've received my small haul from Steph of Julu Jewelry!! Upcoming post will feature the goodies ^___^

Have a happy Wednesday! Hump day is over! 

P.S. I've changed my header! I lavvvv my Danbo ^^;;

Lolli-Lollipopppp

I've been lemming the icecream phone for the LONGEST time and then suddenly the Lollipop gets released! I just had to (well not had to but let's just say the resistance was futile) get my hands on one.

(source: various google photos)

From top to bottom, left to right (all LG phones): KF350 (ice cream), GD580 (Lollipop), GW300, BL20

Out of all these phones, I ended picking up today....

 The GD580 aka the Lollipop! (mhmm I guess it's not much of a given the post title... =__=;;).

I cannot give a detail review yet because I haven't used it... much. I've played around with it for a good 4 hours. I'll probably only post up any issues I have with the phone since there are plenty of specifications/features review and photos out there. I'm not sure how much I like LG phones because I know they're slower and not as reliable in terms of providing reception. As you can see my previous phones were ALL Sony Ericssons. My "current" phone prior to the GD580 was the G900 which I'm still going to use since it's a smart phone and so sleek and handy, but I couldn't resist the temptation of sporting such a cute pink phone!

I also love the LED lights and how if you want to mute your phone from a phonecall, simply flip the phone over! Surprising, the camera provides good quality photos (at least on the screen) for 3MP camera. The camera tends to take more yellow photos but nothing that the white balance function cannot fix. Even the 1.3MP internal camera appears to be of decent quality.

Here is a video of Big Bang playing with the selca function. I still cannot figure out how to set the function settings for the internal camera so that it changes the faces (kind of like Macbook's photo booth) as seen in the Big Bang video. Maybe it's only available on the Korean Cyon phone version? Does anyone with a Lollipop know how to use this function?

Are you currently thinking of switching to a different phone? If so, which one?
