Thank you, CIBA VISION!

I went to meet Shelby today to collect my lens. I can't wait to share with you my upcoming entry!

I received ColorBlend lens (dailies) from Shelby. As for the Illuminate lens, my sister won all that in one of the freshlook's giveaway she participated on their facebook page. When I was selected as one of the 30 freshlook ambassadors, I received a similar amount of Illuminate lenses but, now, stocks are massively running low! Now that I have these colors (above), I can totally doll up my eyes according to my mood! Side-track bit: You know, sometimes, I'm glad that my hard work and innate interest in blogging (despite my crazy schedules) is somewhat recognized and rewarded.

Thank you so much, Ciba Vision!

I chose dailies because I have terribly sensitive pair of eyes. I remembered one time when I was down with conjunctivitis ... It was ghastly. I bet Medusa has more gorgeous looking pair of eyes! Since then, I swore never to wear lenses again after using it once. I will discard it. Oh, I didn't use Freshlook before. I bought some cheap no brand lenses and I can't believe that I re-used it for like a month plus or two. If you're plano, like me, i advise using daily disposable contact lenses!

I cannot wait to dress up my eyes!

Sponsored/Advertorial Post: Henna Lens Party!

My first cousin in my big family got married more than 2 weeks ago and the day before her marriage, we had a henna party! I had such an enjoyable time.. Meet the woman who did all them beautiful designs. She came with her sister!

She's the owner of SyraSkins.

The condition of this party was ... All the girls must have henna on any parts of their bodies! 

I did them on my arms and both of my hands! Thank you, cousin for paying for these pretty artsy fartsy decorations on my beautiful hands! The arm decoration was $10 and my fiance paid for it!

I love it when henna decorations have glitters and swarovski crystals on them.
Like this one on my cousin's hand. So pretty!

 Below are so much more of her creative henna decorations. Henna are not only meant for hands. In fact she's so creative to do it using other drawing tools, other than henna itself. Very cool!

Now, with all these beautiful artwork on you, time to match them with your eyes!

Let's not forget the three colors, that has been around for quite some time, adding to the existing family above..

If you have read my previous monthly entries, you should have known by now that I'm an official Freshlook Illuminate fan, which totally explains why I am a freshlook illuminate ambassador! 

I was told that I will be receiving my color lenses, real soon. Although there's no specific date, I'm very excited for it. I gotta say through, when you're henna has beautiful decorations on them, you can consider daring color lenses like blue, turquoise and green. Personally for me, I will stick to either honey, brown, pure hazel or my all-time favorite "big eye" lens, freshlook illuminate! My fiance kept telling me that I look like an alien whenever I wear peculiar color lenses. He said, "If you're wearing green on that day, you probably fit with those green lenses on but try to stick to normal colors, dear." What can I say. He knows what looks good on me and what doesn't and I'm glad to hear it from someone close to me rather than people I do not know.

Which color lens will you wear (Play safe or be daring?) if you have a henna decoration on you?

Extracted from Straits Times: Bacteria in counterfeit CIBA Vision contact lenses.

I saw this news on 5, yesterday and I felt the need to make it clear that I'm not apart of this.

"The Health Sciences Authority confiscated over 100 boxes of counterfeit coloured contact lenses after raiding five optical shops across the island. More than 10 people are also being questioned in connection to the case.

This is the first case of counterfeited health products being sold by legitimate suppliers such as licensed optical shops. Previous cases had always been restricted to the black market.

The counterfeits were fraudulently labelled as "FreshLook ColorBlends" Contact Lenses from CIBA VISION and found to be unsafe and of poor quality --- for instance, the solution in which the lenses are packed were tested and determined to have been contaminated with a harmful bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is known to cause serious eye infections. HSA was alerted to the distribution of counterfeits by CIBA in mid June this year, and is stepping up its surveillance activities in optical shops. No action has been taken against any of the shops as of now as HSA says it will wait for the conclusion of the investigation.

Investigations are still ongoing but HSA is issuing a warning advisory to customers as these contact lenses are still in circulation, and the packaging for the counterfeit is very similar to the actual thing. Consumers are advised to look out for spelling errors in packaging, and to report any discomfort to their doctors and optometrists. Any persons found supplying counterfeit medical devices such as contact lenses are liable to a penalty of $100,000 and/or a jail term of up to 3 years if convicted."

Story extracted  from The Straits Times.

If you're a frequent lens user please take the necessary precautions. Check for the authenticity of the packaging and ensure that you visit CIBA Vision's official site and check how the 'real' packaging looks like. I'm with freshlook and CIBA Vision for nearly a year plus, so I just wanna make this clear that I am not apart of promoting the counterfeit CIBA Vision contact lenses. If you find any discrepancy in any of CIBA Vision's packaging in a shop that you're visiting, please do not hesitate to contact HSA's Enforcement Branch at 68663485.

I got my eye on Lindsay Lohan ever since my sister keeps raving about her. Let me make this clear that I'm not crazy about her but my sister is. She has Lindsay Lohan on her iPhone in both 'home' and 'lock' screen! Anyway, I'm seriously diggin' her 6126 collection. Especially her leggings! Just to let you all know something about me, I do not like wearing leggings with slippers. I prefer it with sandals or shoes.. I know Lindsay had and still have a bewildering lifestyle but let's not see that depressing side of her. She looks amazing in fashion shoot and modeling. I don't know if she workouts or frequently goes to the beach but she got that seriously amazing tan, thanks to her Sevin Nyne products! You can get it in Sephora, if you're interested to get Lindsay Lohan's amazing tan.

 Anyway, check out her 6126 collection below! Apparently, she's now selling more than just leggings.

But for now, green up your eyes and be inspired by Lindsay!

Sponsored/Advertorial Post: Floral Green in May for Virgo!

Now, although I do not believe in horoscopes, its kinda interesting to know how people are actually predicting life way ahead of what they are going through right now. I love to not expect anything about my life. I love being unprepared. But, it doesn’t hurt to check out what ‘predictors’ (I call them) are saying about people who are born as ‘Virgo’ ... “How’s life for the month of May, ay?”

So after reading my life ‘predictions’, I’m feeling all floral and green with envy. Anyway, this dress was a gift from my two very close friends, on my birthday, last year. Thank you girls!

If you've been reading my blog, you will know that I’m a big fan of the ‘natural’ big dewy eye look. So, I really adore Freshlook illuminate lenses! Here's me wearing it with a mixture of black eyeliner and gold on three quarter of the lower eyelid.

Here's a pictorial share on what I'm using on this eye (Credits linked):

        Everyday Minerals Eyebrow Powder                   The Face Shop Highlighter

 L'oreal Waterproof Gel Eyeliner        L'oreal Chrome Pencil Eyeliner

 MAC Zoom Lash                         Urban Decay Skyscrapper

Last but not least, Freshlook Illuminate Lens, my favorite!

But I wanna introduce you a lens color that I will be receiving from CIBA VISION real soon ... Freshlook Colorblends in green.

I can’t wait to try it! If I want to add much more colors to what I’m wearing now, this is the color of my choice! Many of my current friends know that I’m a big fan of the color gold. But, when I was younger, green was my most favorite! I can feel the love coming back as I am writing ... I love green ... 

But gold (and recently, bronze) suits me better now..

What's your favorite freshlook colorblend lenses? 

Who’s a HUGE fan of big beautiful ‘natural’ looking eyes (just like me)?

Sponsored/Advertorial Post: Virgo's Favorites.

In March I was looking up on my holistic predictions. I’m not a horoscope believer but I think, for a change, it will be really fun if I can actually change the colour of my eyes according to the prediction of my horoscope. Based on an article I searched online, here’s what my March horoscope prediction was (all other Virgons can relate!):

Virgo’s Love & Relationships Horoscope In March 2011

"March could be the most active month of 2011 sentimentally speaking. The Sun and Mars will lend energy to your house of couples, which will become an area of challenges, victories, passion. You'll have sentimental initiative, you can beat your shyness and reserve, and you'll be able to stimulate your partner. You'll attract events, you'll make things happen. Be careful, though! The relational area will be hot, highly excitable, and its tumult can very well overflow in a passionate or conflicting direction."

I chose brilliant blue lenses from Freshlook ColorBlends. I feel that blue eyes exude a daring, controlling and strong vibe to conquer my challenges, victories and passion. It will definitely be a turn-on for my partner since brilliant blue has this wild look on me. If things do get overboard, I’ll just go back to my all-time favourite, Brown or tone it down with Freshlook Illuminate lens. Dewy big, bright eyes will magically tame the moment.

Virgo’s Money & Career Horoscope In March 2011


"March will support the financial area, especially the section that deals with money from other people (inheritance, sponsorship, gifts, scholarships), other people's money (your life partner's or your associates') or many people's money (relationships with banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions). You might make investments, you might even start a business. Anyway, you'll start changing your financial vision. Particularly active will also be the area of partnerships, and this can take the form of collaborations and teamwork or it can bring a period marked by rivalry, competitions, disputes or trials."

Whenever money and career comes into the picture, Freshlook illuminate lens is the best wear. The enhancement and bright-look effect that has the ability to ‘popped’ your eyes out, gives the other party more enthusiasm to help me organize my life financially and plot my career path on its right track. Need I say more?

Virgo’s Health & Fitness Horoscope In March 2011


"In a rather hectic period, you'll manage to maintain your equilibrium and inner peace, all this due to Venus' presence in your house of health. The equilibrium won't be very stable, though, and you'll convince yourself when you try tipping one of the scales."

I prefer to go without contact lens during workouts but if I really have to choose one, I prefer natural-looking lenses. Freshlook ColorBlends in brown colour. My ultimate favourite!

Freshlook ColorBlends comes in monthlies and dailies!

Unfortunately, Freshlook Illuminate only comes in dailies, for now and they only have one color/design.

Advice for Virgo In March 2011


"It's not recommendable to split hairs. If you don't stop on time, you might worry about imaginary problems."

I’m a very simple person on my normal days but I enjoy/love the silent exquisite, classy and posh. Better yet, any occasional dressing up for events and looking good, I’m all for it. I love to look my pictures of myself in my best moments and tell myself that I’m good-looking too. I sound insecure, right? The thing is, that’s how my confidence builds up and it works for me. Being able to change my eye colour without having to got through nasty surgeries adds a touch of ‘mix-blood look’ to complete any glamorous outfit. That’s why I chose Freshlook ColorBlends in Brown and Freshlook Illuminate as my ultimate favourites. It is natural looking and yet adds an impeccable glam to whatever I’m wearing. Be it on regular outings or special occasions.

CozyCot's IWD Awarding of the 100 Most Inspiring Women

I was at Orchard Central yesterday, accompanied by my two good friends. I was there to receive my certificate for being one of 100 most inspiring real women in commemoration for 100 years celebrating International Women's Day (IWD), worldwide. 

I was truly inspired by Nicole's welcome speech yesterday. She said something along the line of, (and this is not a direct quote from her) being an inspiring women has to be able to multi-task while reaching towards her goal(s) and ensure that regardless whatever obstacles she may face, she still stays healthy and fit. 

Without a doubt, being a woman is one helluva roller coaster ride. You gotta manage your inevitable mood-swings, with special thanks to god's gift called the menstrual cycle, taking care and be filial to ONLY one man, (to those with more than one, I respect you. Because, I honestly cannot handle more than one, in my life. Showering love and sharing joy to your kids, (if you have one) being the best daughter to your parents (never neglect your elderly, no matter how irritating they can be) and maintaining your beauty from aging/exercise to the best of your ability.

I was directed to seat 77 (I got a feeling the seatings were based on the number of likes...) and my two friends had to stand for more than an hour or so, just to watch me go up that stage to receive my award. I felt really bad because they have not had lunch (Touche!) and had to stand throughout the introduction. Saturday was jam-packed with back-to-back events that I had to attend. I was so busy and it felt so good because I have not been busy since I last worked in 2009. But, it did some damage on me as I had to survive on this (below) for the whole day:

I know, I know its bad for my stomach. But I swear it was unintentional. I was truly occupied! I should have a hearty breakfast before the event started. My bad. Actually, I was so damn confident that they will be serving light refreshments. But I was wrong. I deserve it for expecting free food..-_-

Anyway, I was so honored to receive this note. I felt really special. I call it an admirer's note. One, to me, is a very special word. It might seem selfish but its a flattering word to hear/read, because no one else is one but me!

Thank you Cozycot for allowing me to inspire you. I'm really glad that you found me inspring enough to be apart of the 100. There are many other women out there who achieve greater heights than I do and I'm deeply honored to be apart of the known 100.

Other inspiring women I got to made friends and interacted with, Tara Rushton, Sylvia Fogoly, Sim Siew Noi and Fay Hokulani. After receiving the award, smiling and all the photo taking, I accompanied my friends to collect their goodie bag and had to rush off to another event. I thought I the time to eat but unfortunately, not.

Eye for Beauty Makeover Challenge!

Immelia and I were excited to be among the 100 selected participants for this Beauty Challenge. I found out about this challenge when I received an email from Freshlook. I blogged about the competition and participated at the same time. Come on, who doesn't want to go to Paris? I sure, as hell, want to. I sure hope my dad allow me to go, if I win. Anyway, I met Immelia at Paragon and we went to Make Up Store to collect our lenses! We both decided on Pure Hazel and I have this strange feeling that Immelia actually plan what to apply on both our eyes before the start of the challenge. Efficient much? We both met during the Freshlook Ambassadors cum Make Up Store workshop. We followed each other on Twitter to keep in contact and have been friends ever since.


Side-track bit: Little did I know I will making/meeting more girlfriends online than off because when I was younger, I felt that getting to know someone and having to meet them is terrifying but its all good now. I love my girlfriends online! (those whom I have chatted/met with)

We had to use assigned colors according to our color lens, pure hazel. This was what we picked. I followed Immelia's choice of eye colors. She chose different shades of purple on top of the eyelids with a thin line of dark eyeliner. We added glitter below our eye and mascara to complete our look. We only have 10 minutes to complete all that.

Bowling with Family

I reached home at 1800hrs. I met my partner and we had dinner at Swenson's before bowling. This was inclusive of my breakfast and lunch. All day long, I haven't had a proper meal and I ordered, my favorite baked mussels and mega burger. I was left stoked! This picture below was taken during the New Year's Eve. I didn't take any pictures that day.

After that, we head on down and chill at a nearby Mac Donald's till 0100hrs. It was a helluva long day for me. I created this entry since Sunday afternoon and only manage to publish this today. I was down with slight fever and flu and only just recovered. Weekends are always packed for me. But, I hope I will be able to blog about a few inspired topic lingering in my mind. Anyway, this marks my last week of holidays, I will be on school attachment for 4 weeks after this. Hopefully, I will have the time to blog.
