CamQueen of the Year

Advertorial

Hello!!!


I love camwhoring! Why not? Only young once so much take more, more, more photos! And if those photos are chio it's a great way to get attention online! After our online personality is more and more important nowadays so it's smart to put your best face forward :D

Obviously make up is a super important element in snapping super chio photos so today I'm gonna show ya all how I put on make up!

If you think it's excessive or whatever please, click this page away. You may not appreciate it but other people might, so why spoil the fun for others? It's like going to some vegetarian recipe webpage and posting "EWWW WHY NO MEAT ONE IT'S SO GROSS MOCK MEAT IS JUST FLOUR YOU ARE AN IDIOT OF A CHEF PLEASE POST A REAL RECIPE NEXT TIME."

Like what's your point? You wanna see meat recipes? Go to a relevant webpage. You wanna see simple, natural make up? THIS IS NOT THE URL FOR IT.

Back to the topic: I think the last time I did a make up post was back in 2005... Super long ago.


So this is my "no make-up" picture.

Fresh after a bath. As explained in the photo, I couldn't remove my lash extensions... And obviously it's photoshopped... But hey, I left my moles on!


Step 1: PUT IN CONTACTS! Uber important, do not neglect this step!

Step 2 is to apply 2-way cake foundation! I've been using ZA's foundation all my life. Another great brand is Revlon's colorstay liquid foundation with SoftFlex technology... Because of its LONGEVITY! It really really won't come off for the whole day! However, the colours are not that nice so I apply ZA on top of it.

Notice I put foundation on my lips. This is to conceal any inconsistency in lip colour before I apply lipstick. Important also!!


After drawing brows and putting on Bronzer!!

My brow pencil is dunno what brand from Japan and my bronzer is from Victoria's secret.

I'm in love with bronzer recently! It really gives you a healthy glow!

And I used my eyebrow pencil to shade my nose bridge also!

Sorry there are no photos of me actually doing the make up coz it's very hard to snap yourself doing make up... You ownself imagine lah hor.


This is after eye make up...

White highlighter eyeshadow all over, brown eyeshadow to enhance the double eyelids, and a thin line of liquid brown eyeliner (mine is $4.90 from Aries) to line the eyes.

At this point you make apply falsies if you don't have extensions like me.

Also, stuck on lower lashes, and put some MAC glitter on the inner eye corners! :D


And here's what I meant by brown eyeshadow to exhance the double eyelids.


After blusher, lipstick + gloss and a hair bow! Tadah!!

For blusher any pink toned blusher will do. Lipstick: Mac's "Honeylove" as a base, Chanel hot pink gloss on top.

More camwhoring shots!




LOL...


Wondering why I'm posting all these make up tips? Coz I'm very NICE ok! I'm trying to help you WIN AN AWESOME CONTEST!!!



Very simple one!! Participants just need to create a profile and upload two photos of themselves... One BEFORE photo and one AFTER photo!!

Before and after what? Make up, of course!

Just to illustrate, here's a video of one of the contestants...



Erm... She is quite... unique. But don't worry you don't need to take video, photo can already!




And the prizes... Oh so generous!


CamQueen of the Year will win $5,000!!!!


This will be chosen by a panel of judges.



There will another prize of $1,000 for the People's Choice Award... For the babe who manages to get the most people to "like" their picture!!


But of course, somebody generous must be sponsoring the prizes right!!? And that someone is YOU.C1000!!

I'm sure you have seen You.c1000 drinks in our local supermarket/convenience stores before. I love it! Even though it's in a smallish bottle, it is SUPER GAO (I have no idea how to translate this I suppose the closest is 'thick) and very very fizzy and the strong lemony flavour immediately perks you up!


And not only is it yummy, most importantly of all it's chockful of Vitamin C!! 1000mg in the bottle!

I suppose that's why it's called "C" 1000... Just in case you don't know how much vitamin C that is, our recommended intake of Vitamin C per day is 250mg to 4,000mg! Your body doesn't manufacture or store excess Vitamin C, so obviously it's better to get more Vitamin C goodness daily! And I've been reading reviews and loads of people said they felt better after drinking this when they are ill. :)

Plus Vitamin C is totally anti-aging!! Super important for me!!


Also comes in orange flavour and bigger bottles of isotonic drinks!



So back to the topic:

JOIN NOW!!





Good luck!!

p/s: There are already 350 participants before I even posted this blog entry... Wah it's getting so much traction!! Even got well-known bloggers taking part! Some of the before and after shots have really drastic differences so you can just go look-see even if you don't wanna take part. Very interesting!

Rice is the New Potato

Advertorial

I'm a night owl, so I normally wake up between 3-5pm. Then I'd wait for Mike to come home, and we'd go eat his dinner and my lunch (I skip breakfast).

Then every night, at about say 2am, I'd start to feel hungry again.


But more often than not, THERE IS NO FOOD AT HOME!! Well either no food or I'm too lazy to cook whatever is in the fridge.

And I'd start to do crazy things when I'm delirious with hunger.

For example...




Open and close the fridge door despite being disappointed 1,670 times.
The only thing that grew in the fridge is probably mold.

I'm sure many of you do this!!!


Then I'd try to convince myself that I'm not feeling hungry at all. And that the pangs and salivating just means I'm like cold or something.



Then, subconsciously, I'd start biting my nails.

I think that's coz my body thinks that eating bits of dead skin is better than eating nothing at all.

Unbeknownst to my body I'm actually eating bits of French gel, so that shouldn't be good at all.

Still I'd be hungry, so I'd try extreme methods to curb my hunger:



No, it doesn't work. Still hungry! Roar!!

Method 2: Distract myself by doing small-talk with myself




Ok that doesn't work either.

Method 3: Distract myself by pretending I'm a movie star



And belting out relevant soundtracks. AND ALL THAT JAZZ!!

I bet Catherine Zeta Jones never feels hungry!!




After a while more I'd start contemplating eating everything.

For example, would this stuffed rabbit taste nice sauteed lightly with butter and asparagus? Would about this boot? Maybe it would be ok-tasting if I boil it with some chicken stock.

After a while I'd realise that these household objects will not be yummy.

Then I would....

BITE MIKE!!!!!!!!!!


FHL hahahha!! But yummy as he is, he doesn't satisfy hungry coz my teeth are not sharp enough to eat him. How do cannibals do it??


But not to fret... Now I have a new and mega easy HUNGER SOLUTION!!!


Presenting...




Brand new Rice Crisps by Mister Potato!!

Made with a secret combination of potatoes and rice for a light crispy snack that will satisfy any hunger cravings!

YUMMEH!!



Being Asian, I obviously LOVE rice. And now I can haz rice with my potato chips, making it even healthier!

I was totally surprised when I bit into the chip... It tastes almost exactly like normal potato chips but just that little something is different. Like the aftertaste is sweeter or stronger or something. My favourite is the Sour Cream and Onion!!

Actually I got given 4 canisters of these chips but within 2 days 2 cans are finished already by my friends who came over for mahjong -_- They said it's really nice.

But it's ok to munch on these chips, coz the Rice Crisps have/are:

No Added MSG

No artificial colouring

Cholestrol and trans fat free

20% less fat than conventional fried potato chips yet taste just as delicious

First of its kind in Singapore

And an awesome alternative to other snacks!


Comes in four flavours too!!

And even can eat it on the go since it comes with these handy aluminium canisters. :D

Mike loves me


For those of you less familiar with Kpop, this chick's name is Taeyeon from Girls' Generation (or SNSD?). They (SNSD) are a singing pop group of NINE girls.

For the longest time people have been leaving comments saying that my post-photoshop self looks like her and I've always brushed it off.

 
Really meh???

Not that I'm chioer than her (far from it) but really don't look like what!! She looks so... clean. And my face is cluttered with silicon and falsies.

I can see a closer resemblance with Sun Ho (truly fml) than with Taeyeon. Or even Coco Lee. Once again is people one ah not I being buay paiseh!!

But then a few weeks ago, when I was in Simlim buying my new computer with Mike, something happened!!

While waiting for my computer to be set up, one of the monitors was playing a SNSD video clip.

And there stood Mike, looking entranced at the screen. I swear he even drooled. Normally whenever he sees like some girlish video, especially an mtv, he totally would not even bother looking but there he was, totally focused.

He told me he was in love with the one in yellow. She was dancing somewhere at the back. Out of 9 girls, he picked her immediately. Never in our history of being together for almost 5 years has he ever picked out a celebrity like that and told me he likes her.

And the one in yellow, ladies and gentlemen, is Taeyeon.

I am hereby convinced he likes her coz he loves me. Or girls who look like me. Whatever. Totally had a fuzzy heartwarming feeling right there at a grimy computer store. I swear I almost teared.

I personally find girl 5 or 6 (from left) the chioest. Too bad they look almost exactly alike. Most unchio is second from right. Haha


*****************************


UPDATE:

Speaking of people who look like me (whether or not I agree), some blog reader sent me a link to this mtv eons ago, telling me the female lead looks like me.



AND I REALLY THINK SHE DOES!!!!!!!!!! OBVIOUSLY she is much slimmer with a fabulous body and prettier face (so you can stop insulting me omg why I am so defensive it's all because of you cb mean people) but I really think got resemblance!! FHL lol... Actually when I saw the video I was like "WTF???", you know that feeling you get when you suddenly see a photo of yourself or something??

Wah lau I wish I was chio enough to be in an MTV lor with 2 hot guys fighting over me ccb.
