On the webby, it said that it is recommend to size one size up cos the cutting runs small.  Thank goodness I can still fit into it, Whew!

Uncheck me pls!

Afterfeel of watching the musical “CATS”

Went with a couple of friends to the musical today.  We got the tickets a while ago via piority booking.

Lazy me didn’t bother to do my homework before going into the show.  So for the 1st half of the musical, I totally didn’t know what was going on.

Why the cats are gathered together, who is who, why are all of them singing an individual song per cat.

It is only during intermission when I read my friend’s programme that I managed to snatch a bit of the plot.

Well, all I can say is if you are going to watch something, you had better be diligent and read up on your show.  Cos even after reading the plot, I still can’t hear/understand what they actors/actresses were singing. 

My friend says that is to be expected cos they are only singing out the vowels and not enunciating the words. 

I much prefer the old Kallang Theatre where they have a electronic billboard on top of the stage whereby you can see subtitles (both English and Chinese being flashed throughout the show)  I wonder why the state-of-the-art Esplanade doesn’t have this facility.

The show does try to invoke alot of audience participation, the Cats will come down the stage and make/poke fun at the audiences, steal a bag or two away etc. 

Up close, you can see how skin tight their leotards really are (heehee)

Since I am not a connoisseur, for this musical, I can only appreciate the choreography of the dances, the pirouettes done, the acrobatics of the dances;)  Not even the song “Memory” can make me change my mind.

I would watch Miss Saigon, Le Miserables and Phantom again but prolly not Cats.  Sorry.

P.Ss My friend mentioned that alot of the audiences came out of the hall commenting that they’d much preferred Phantom of the Opera over Cats.

Follow up on the Etude House Volumising Mascara

The actual name of the mascara is “66 Big Eye Vitcara No. 1 Volumising & Lift” Mascara

The SA told me that it is supposed to be waterproof and volumising.  Costing RM 36.90, the applicator of the mascara is bi-combed such that you can use the small one on the other side of the comb to get into hard to reach area such as the corners of the eye.

Today, combined with the use of the Mascara Topcoat, I can say that it last me throughout the half a day that I was out.

JB haul

Today is one of my short getaway trip to JB for a short shopping trip.  I had plan to get some items from Marjolica at Watsons and Etude house.  Also I am intent to spend my Padini vouchers before I totally forget about it.

Well, all I can say is that I had overspent (not really but if I include in my pharmacy buys than I had OS!)

IT WAS MAYHAM!!  In City Square at least.  It looks like Causeway Point, Jurong Point etc (you get my drift) and Singaporeans are all abound!  Well, Malaysians too.  The Etude SA told me that’s cos there is a IT fair being held nearby. There are alot of people strolling but very little people in the shops buying anything.

I first got a small cup of Baskin Robbins to up my sugar level (its sooo crowded at all the food joints that I had to make do with ice cream first) and then went off to SASA to find my elusive fringe clip (can I find it??)

I was led into SASA by the sale sign hanging outside for Kate Dual Karat eyeshadow at RM 29.90.  Of course, you all know that normally that is the least that you are going to buy from the shop.  I ended up with a LE brown eye palette from Kate and a graduating blush from Kate (discounted) as well as 2 fringe clips!

I was inspired by this makeup tutorial for Taylor Swift’s Love Story Look and so I went to Etude House to get an eyeshadow that I saw the other time. 

Eye Secret in Dazzling Beige

Since Singapore does not have any Etude House, it would seem sinful if I just walk out with one eyeshadow.  I got a newly released

volumising mascara,

mascara remover and

a mascara topcoat.

By this time, I had almost run out of my shopping budget.  But how could I leave out Watsons??

JB Watsons stock MM and Rimmel.  They are having a promotion right now till 26th(?) April.  Majolook palettes cost RM 49.90 and the new mascara cost RM 39.90.  And you get a free honey lip gloss if you spend RM 50.

I was really struggling!  To buy or not to buy!  In the end I resisted!  Cos I fell for a Youngblood Pressed MMU just before I went back to Watsons again LOL!  The shop is called Shins and they only stock 4 colors for pressed MMU.  I can’t even confirm that the color that I got is 100% my shade.  But for RM129, I just cannot resist!

And just before leaving, I HAD to stop by FOS.  I couldn’t find anything that I really like and the place was pretty messy. But as my eyes was scanning through the last time, I spied a promising piece, jutting out of the many hangers like a sore thumb.

And lo and behold!  What did I find?  But a tunic by Sarah Jessica Parker’s Bitten line!  How can I pass up such a good buy at RM 27!  After paying for the last item, I started on my way home much poorer than I started ;P

FOS

Oh and I didn’t spend my Padini vouchers cos I don’t really find anything that I desperately like;)

The best travel/retractable blusher brush goes to:

The Kesalan Patharan Colorful Brush.  It is shaped like a lippie and so so easy to bring around for touchups!

The dyed hairs means that those who are iffy about getting color on their white bristles can use it for a longer time before they finally get it to wash;)

Too bad they pulled out of Singapore some time ago.  I really love their brushes!

Me:  This Thurs.  In fact, the whole mall will open with 100% occupancy rate this thurs.

Sup:  So what is good from there?

Me:  I’m looking at the Skinnies, maybe thinking of getting one.

Sup:  Why do they call Skinny Jeans skinny jeans.

Me:  Oh, cos the jeans is so tight that when you wear it you cannot eat so you become skinny lor?!

Sup:  Is it??

Me:  “Doi”
