Opening My Wallet @ the Edward Bess Open House

At the Edward Bess Open House last week, I really wasn't intending to buy anything. I just wanted to pop down, take a look at the full range, play with some testers and leave before my credit card squirmed its way out of my purse.

Makeup display to some, minefield for others.

The simple display didn't take anything away from the quality of the products.

M.A.C Glamour Daze & Holidays~

Popped by the viewing of the Glamour Daze and Holiday range at M.A.C Robinsons Raffles City yesterday with Arissa, my first time at such events and got completely overwhelmed by the number of people squished in there!

Too...many.....people.....

Sorry to say but crowds really get to me. I'm very much a personal space kinda person, park me in a corner with a cup of tea and I'm happy. Yep, that kind.

But anyway, I must say that the holiday sets are really cute! They'd probably make very good gifts and those holders are just too adorable~

Pictured here: M.A.C 2012 Holiday Face, Eyes & Lip Palette, Face Palette, Eyeshadow Palatte.

But the thing that caught my attention was...=_=...I'm sorry to say it wasn't a product but...this:

Nope, not the Glamour Daze range (colours were totally not me though the packaging was super cute) but the Glamour Daze pin-up. Look at her nails! Aren't they cute!!! I want to do that! ^___^

Japanese and Korean Beauty How-Tos? (Part 1 - Diet)

You can't help but wonder if there's something special in the water in Japan and Korea. The beauty secrets of both nationalities have been a popular topic for women (and men) owing to the youthful looks and graceful aging demonstrated by both celebrities and regular people alike~

So what's the deal?

There's quite alot of material on this topic so I shall separate them into different posts for digestable reading~ ^_^ Today, we'll explore some common components in the Japanese / Korean diet~
