Howdy everyone !


Happy Monday morning to you ! Its been really cold here as the rain keeps pouring...
I decided to write a post on an interesting news. Yes, its none other than the "WAVES" lifestyle magazine that just entered Singapore recently.

"The FIRST all-English FREE monthly lifestyle magazine for young adults in Johor Bahru and Singapore. Look out for updates on what's hot in the region and get a new perspective on all things local and more! 'Your Lifestyle Consultant' and 'Ultimate Guide to JB'!"
Waves Lifestyle is endorsed by Johor Tourism and Tourism Malaysia.
(quoted from WAVES fb info section)
 
 One thing I liked about this magazine that is newly out is that it caters to JB and S'pore readers which means news from these two countries will be updated in the magazine. This is really interesting as you get to know what happens in our neighbouring country via this magazine!

I had an opportunity to meet the editor, Manisha to discuss on my ideas. It was my pleasure having her in person to share the ideas together. As she was planning on the February Issue for the magazine where there will be highlights on Valentines day, I shared with her about my uncle and aunty's interior-designed home. I also showed her photos of one of my makeup showcase photoshoots that I had in my Aunt's crib. Manisha definitely wanted to know more about how they designed their home on their own. It was a DIY method that my aunt and uncle used together. Manisha then thought that this would be a good idea to feature the couple in the February issue in lieu of Valentines day for their combined effort in the area of arts.

I went on to conduct an interview with my aunt and uncle and collected all the relevant information needed on their own designed classy home. I even took snap shots of really significant areas in which they invested their efforts to furnish their home. Also, I included a photo of a MAKEUP SHOWCASE photoshoot done by me in their beautiful home. Here's a collage version of my first contribution for the magazine.

Spring/Summer 2011 Hairstyle Trend Inspired ME!!

Have funky , cool and chic hairstyles always inspired you ??
I have always been an avid fan of cool hairstyles !
Braiding was always a fun hairstyle to learn , I thought. I was much inspired by a spring/summer hair trend that was totally popular in 2011 ~ Thats none other than the FISHTAIL BRAID! 

Here are some photos of what I meant by FISHTAIL BRAID.

I should say that they look somewhat like the tail of a fish and even adorable !

I have been learning this hairstyle for quite sometime and I just tried a very simple one when I was

in school two days back on my friend.

&&& here it is :

 Really loved the outcome as I did on both sides of her hair and pin-ed up 

a flower clip to hold her braids ! Uber cool aftermath ! (:

I hope to come up with more interesting hairstyles ...DO stay tuned !

If you do have any questions, do forward them to me at sync_vani@hotmail.sg(:

Back with an EXCITING REVIEW (:

Hello everyone ! I know its been pretty long.... oh yes that's definitely long !
Firstly, my humble apologies to you guys as I have been too packed with bookings, school and fashion shoot collaborations. Nevertheless, I have not forgotten all you guys who read my blog ! It's now February and that means I have many more updates coming up. Before i move on to all those stuffs I need to share with you lovelies, here's two products I really loved in the month of January : 

1. ELLE 18 KAJAL (with almonds)

2. Puff, Sponge and Miracle Brush Cleanser

1. ELLE 18 KAJAL ( with almonds )

 

Yes this is the KAJAL also known originally as Kohl ! I went for some shopping two weeks back and I found this new Kajal in Little India, Singapore. I was first sold for its packaging as it was really stylish ! They only had a limited stock in the shop. Everyone was rushing to try this kajal and somehow or rather, I was intrigued by it too!

If you guys were wondering what exactly this is, Kohl/Kajal is an ancient eye cosmetic. It was made by grinding 'galena' (lead sulfide) and other ingredients. It is widely used in South Asia and now in Singapore too., It is actually to darken the eyelids and also acts as mascara for the eyelashes. It is used mostly by women, but also some men and children. Kohl was originally used as protection against eye ailments. There was also a belief that darkening around the eyes would protect one from the harsh rays of the sun. If i clearly remember, some mothers in the early times in Singapores would apply kohl to their infants' eyes soon after birth. However, in modern days now, Kajal seems to like a really good eyeliner for waterline !

It looks like this : (see below!)

My thoughts : What i really liked about this Kajal apart from the previosu ones I purchased was that, it did NOT give my eyes the burning sensation which other Kajals gave. I am sure some of my readers here who are Indians would probably be able to relate to what I am saying. I used to hate this burning feeling and it made my eyes start to tear. As such, the kajal at my waterline would be smudged or would run off and create some mess under my eye area. This particular ELLE 18 KAJAL did wonders and it gave a very precise liner at my waterline not smudging even a little! ITS A MUST TRY ! head down to Little India (Jothi Store), SIngapore as it is only retailing at SGD 2.50 !  (: If i am not wrong you could also find it in Mustafa Centre in Little India Singapore !

2.  Puff, Sponge and Miracle Brush Cleanser

 THIS IS ONE AMAZING CLEANER THAT I USE FOR MY

MAKEUP BRUSHES ! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !

This is actually a product made in Japan and I came across this when I went for short retail therapy at DAISO, SINGAPORE. Daiso is a store where you can get anything and everything at just SGD 2 !!! They have awesome stuffs and why would anyone not love DAISO?!! Oh yes, I bought this immediately after I read a label that was on the bottle which said "KEEPS YOUR MAKEUP TOOLS CLEAN!" I just wanted to try and see if it does magic and well here's the result ! I tried this on one of my Real Technique Brushes from the PIXIWOO which was filled with foundation stains.

STEP 1. THE BRUSH

 STEP 2 : THE FOUNDATION STAINS ON THE BRUSH

 

STEP 3 : POUR SOME CLEANSER FROM THE BOTTLE TO THE BRUSH

                & SWIRL IT ON A TISSUE OR USE A SPONGE TO SPREAD THE CLEANSER

 

STEP 4 : RINSE IT WELL UNDER TAP WATER

 

STEP 5 : TADAAAAAHHHH !! LOOK AT IT ! ALL CLEAN!

 This experiment was tried and tested SOLELY by me. I really find this cleanser a value for money !

It is always 2 bucks but it does wonders ! IF you want to get your hands on this amazing cleanser, head down to any DAISO outlets in Singapore or anywhere else in the world right now ! (:

 I hope this review was useful to you people.

COMING UP : VALENTINES DAY CONTEST DETAILS...... stay tuned!
