[Tried & Tested] Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure in Ka-Ching

Hi Huneybees,

Ever wanted those luscious, flirtatious lashes like those of Katy Perry's? No one can resist those eyes eh? Well, with the collaboration of Katy Perry and Eylure, comes an array of false lashes that will definitely get you to flirt your way through. :)

Eylure is a false eyelash company, and all their lashes are 100% natural and handmade.  They are reusable and suitable for those of us who wear contact lens.  Being around since 1947, their lashes were worn by several iconic gorgeous ladies - including Elizabeth Taylor!

I have come across Eylure lashes on my previous trip to Britain and these lashes under the Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure collection are full flushed lashes with a tinge of colour pop. The stylist pop singer has always been known for her bright hair colours and now these are just the right ones for the colour hugging ME! They are meant to pop out the colour of your eyes more by adding a little flash of subtle color to your lashes.

So, I was given the Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure in Ka-Ching to review and I brought them along to my trip in Penang. These lashes had a hidden hint of peacock green amidst the black lashes, and I liked that it is not the super dramatic coloured lashes.

The lashes come with Eylure's LashFix, an instruction booklet, and a sticker to go with it's pop styled packaging. I love the Roy Lichtenstein inspired-style of Katy Perry, it really shows so much of her personality! 

The packaging made it so easy to bring around and store back when done using, that's why I decided to bring it along on my trip. When I go overseas, I like to wear my false lashes as I find no matter how waterproof or resistant your mascara or eyeliner can be, there's bound to be certain level of smudges towards the end of the day.

This is how it looks with the lashes on. I matched them with a nude look and everyone was loving my lashes. Not only did they match my hair, it also "opened" up my eyes quite a bit and brought colours to a simple look of the day.

It was very comfortable to wear them for the whole day and I liked that the band is so easy to fit onto my eyes. However, the lashes were a little too long for my eyes and I had to trim the ends a little. But nonetheless, I still loved these lashes...

These lashes would be great for the everyday office look. You can look good and add a little pop of colour to your look without having to over dramatize your makeup!

The Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure false lashes comes in 3 different coloured strip lashes and one set of individual lashes. They are all named with the comic "sound effects" to go with the comic colour pop packaging.

[Get The Look] An Inspired British-Singapore Look For Digital Fashion Week 2013

Hi Huneybees,

When I was invited by Digital Fashion Week to participate in a challenge to create my very own British-Singapore-inspired look, I knew I had to do something in relation to the London Eye and our very own Singapore Flyer.

The London Eye.

The Singapore Flyer.

Both tourist attractions were captivating by night and the lighted up wheels against the sunset lights were always etched in my mind. Both being so magnificent and holding much significance to Britain and Singapore, I decided to do a look based on the 2 pictures shown above.

I chose to incorporate The Body Shop Colour Crush eyeshadow - "Blue Over You" to resemble the dusky blue sky and with hints of pink and soft orange to resemble the sunset sky. Of course, not forgetting silver accents to symbolise the blinking lights around both London Eye and Singapore Flyer when the sky turns dark!

And not to overpower the look, I chose to have the popular gradient lips to complement the eyeshadow, reflecting the surreal quietness when both attractions turn dark. They stand to light up the night, looking oh-so-lonely against the river bank...

Here's how to achieve the look.

Together with the make-up look, I have also chose to dress myself up in British labels -  a multi-coloured sequined dress by Topshop to go with silver floral kitten heels by Irregular Choice. The palette chosen here is none other than to reflect the night and the shimmering wheels in the night. 

So what do you think of the look?

Do you like it?

Lusting For Chalkboard Nails By Ciaté

Nails on chalkboard is such a painful process, but imagine having the chalkboard on your nails!

UK nail company Ciaté which is renowned in the beauty scene for a few years with the uber-popular caviar nail kit, is now launching a “Chalkboard Manicure” kit.

It’s a pretty clever concept that combines two nail trends: Matte nail polish and DIY nail art. The kit includes a matte black polish, four nail art pens that have a chalky finish, a matte top coat, and an inspirational look book.

Basically, you put on the black matte polish and let it dry completely. After the polish is dry, you can doodle to your heart’s content on the surface of your nails. But what makes this kit different from your standard nail art pen is that you can actually rinse off the designs with water if you’re not happy with them. Then once you get the designs exactly how you want them, you layer on the matte top coat and it stays put just like any other manicure.

Here's a how-to video to see the chalkboard mani in action.

I can't wait for it to be in stores in Sephora. Hopefully it won't be too ex?

Philip Kingsley Hair Treatment

I was recently at Philip Kingsley for a hair treatment. As many of you know I have been dye-ing my hair in different colours, so a part of the treatment was to treat my dry hair.

Another treatment I did was to soothen my itchy scalp. Due to my super late nights, I've been bugged by itchy scalp for almost 3 months and I was glad that I've got that problem solved. Of course, it requires more sessions to fully treat it, but after 1 session, my hair and scalp felt much better already.

With clinics in London, New York, Singapore and a client list that includes stars, celebrities, politicians and royalty, Philip Kingsley is widely recognized as a leading authority on his subject. 

Called “The Hair Doctor” by The Times and “The Hair Guru” by The New York Times, Philip Kingsley, born in London, has been a practising trichological consultant since 1957 and a Fellow and past Chairman of the Institue of Trichology. After being a consultant trichologist to a prestigious Mayfair hair salon, the first Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic opened in London in 1960. In response to demand for the service in America he founded the Philip Kingsley Trichological Centre in New York, which opened in 1977. The list of Kingsley’s clients reads like a world’s Who’s Who. He even created the product Elasticizer specifically for Audrey Hepburn, and has continued to develop a wide range of award-winning hair care products. Philip Kingsley regularly contributes expert advice to newspapers and magazines and has appeared on many television programmes, both in Britain and the United States. Philip Kingsley understands better than anyone the meaning of a 'bad hair day', after all he invented the term.

Philip Kingsley is located in Palais Renaissance #03-08/09 and the moment I stepped into the clinic, I was warmly welcomed by Aisha, the lady who was helping me with the treatment. She did an assessment on my scalp and asked what my concerns were, then she went on to prepare for the treament.

First, she applied a thick cream that consisted on tar. Tar will stop the itch and true enough, the moment she applied the cream, the itch stopped immediately. It was slightly cool and how I wish I have cream on all day. Hehehehehe....

Steam, steam, steam after wetting my hair and applying the treatment for dry hair. Aisha then gave me a massage to simulate blood circulation and prevent hair fall for the healthy hair....

Super futuristic with the Infrared machine....

Time to wash my hair! This amazing orange chair is in fact a massage chair! In Philip Kingsley, they believe in reliving stress for the customer and giving them the best treatment. Imagine getting you hair problems fixed and you can also feel relaxed at the same time. *Shiokness X Infinity!*

The last part was to apply the liquid formula that will further soothe my scalp and it was a leave in. Aisha then blew dry my hair and I was all refreshed and set for my next event! :)

Thank you Philip Kingsley for solving my hair problems!

XOXO,
