Her World Beauty Awards - Vichy, ZA and Kate reviews

As you might already have known, my Goddess is a total beauty junkie who puts on like at least 8 lotions/creams on her face before she goes to sleep - and hence her 10 minutes ritual every night and morning; and she tries to do up different styles of makeup if the occasion calls for it.

And so today was the annual Her World Beauty Awards. Guess my Goddess is kinda on the right track. She's got 3 of the items that the Editors of Her World voted for!

 CATEGORY:

Oil Control Moisturiser

READERS' CHOICE:

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-free Gel Cream

EDITORS' CHOICE:

Vichy Normaderm Tri-activ Anti imperfection Hydrating Care Day Moisturiser

My Goddess has been using this for a few years already. Not sure if it's cos she's past the puberty age, but her face was visibly less oily - which means less clogged pores!

Next, some thing that she has recommended before.

The Horny Devil's 30th Bird-day

The Horny Devil recently celebrated his 30th birthday. 30 was a big thing to them as it is the big 3-0, whereby you are supposed to hit certain milestones as a full-grown adult already.

The Horny Devil had big expectations for my Goddess, especially after he planned a surprise V-day dinner for her. Furthermore, he has the perception that my Goddess would be so busy with her own things that she would do a lousy celebration for him.

Stress and wanting to do a good and memorable birthday celebration for him, she thought of letting him spend his big day to people who matter to him most - herself (of course!), his family and his friends.

Thanks to their tidy and comprehensive guest list, she got down the numbers of his friends and contacted them. She also went around searching for value-for-money hotels that fulfill the criteria:

1. Doesn't cost a bomb
2. Look luxurious and not cheapskate
3. Have a roof-top dining area that opens to late

Through her research, she realised there are so many cool boutique hotels in Singapore! Maybe they should start doing staycations more often to boost the Singapore economy!

Anyway, here's a recap of what happened over the weekend.

First, my Goddess told the Horny Devil that they are going out for a nice dinner on Sat night to celebrate his birthday.

And so, she borrowed her family's car and went to check in at the hotel first.

My Goddess' Twin Wedding

My Goddess' twin, her best friend since JC days, recently got married last Sunday. It was the very first time that my Goddess and the Horny Devil were invited to and attended a Malay wedding, and was certainly an eye-opener for them. My Goddess was also happy to be around the whole process, as she could truly experience and appreciate the Malay culture and traditions.

My Goddess went as early as 8.30am to her Twin's brother house as the mosque and the CC where she held her wedding was just a stone's throw away. My Goddess' mission then was to double check on the MUA to make sure she does a good and not overly dramatic job. Thankfully the MUA didn't let her Twin down. Imagine previously her Twin was so worried about this bridal shop - that they had majority tacky wedding gowns, they can't use her selected material for the MTM gown, and that they had really thick makeup for other brides.

Here's a summary of the event:

First, the bride and groom meets at the mosque for their solemnisation and prayers. The whole process took about an hour.

The ladies need to be all covered up when in the mosque - hence the head scarf shawl

All covered and ready to enter the mosque!

JPO - Johor Premium Outlet

Before I moved on to something more recent and exciting, let me finish covering the last event that has been in the draft folder for some time - My Goddess and the Horny Devil's JPO outing.
It was the second day of CNY then, and my Goddess was pretty bored with the long holidays since her parents were away and there was no visiting too on the Horny Devil's side of family.

So thinking that most people will be busy visiting instead of going into JB to shop, they decided to make their maiden trip to JPO.

They left their house bright and early in the morning at 7.30am. The road into JB was super clear as planned. The bus reached the checkpoint at 8am - faster than her place to Orchard!

Makeup is an art-gic

Makeup is an art plus magic. The more you practice, the better you get, and the more styles you will experiment. It is magic too because it can hide your flaws and bring out things that you don't have like better complexion, bigger eyes, sharper nose etc. this is why my Goddess likes to doll herself up.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Review

Remember in my last post not too long ago, my Goddess complained that her eyeshadow doesn't stay and she wished for a Urban Decay Eyeshadow primer for her birthday? Knowing that no one would actually get for her, she decided to get one for herself.

And the packaging of the primer has changed - it's no longer the stick tube which other users reviewed that they can't get the last bit of the primer out. It's now in tube form, which means you can squeeze every single drop out now! No more wastage, more value-for-money!

As it is supposedly a magic potion, it comes in a cute potion like tube. Even the packaging is in velvet and royal purple.

Let's hope that it can really work magic too!
