Yummy Raspberry Truffle from NUBAR

I wish I can have that…again it's all about nail polish not food. It has been quite some time I did not apply nail polish on my own most of the time my colleague will offer me their help. Today I am on duty at our nail bar at Shanri-La Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa, I have no appointment for today plus I am ALONE there.

Again I feel wanna get dirty again…on my nails, I want to go dark shade.

It's always fun to discover a favorite nail polish from time to time. I found this Raspberry Truffle from NUBAR!

Raspberry Truffle – rich brown with deep red shimmer.

On my nails...sexay!

Since I am ALONE and no appointment so what I did is cam whore. Pale look cuz I am sick – flu again!

This is our Nail Bar at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa

Lil Jo turns 3!

He's is 3 years old boy now! He is getting notty and notty every day. We celebrate his birthday a week earlier as I going to be away during his birthday and hubby away to Singapore as well.

Nothing much we do for him as we think birthday partay is not necessary as he dunno the real meaning of birthday yet so we bought his favorite chocolate cake from Sweet Daily to celebrate it after we had our usual dinner at home.

Heart Shape Choc cake

These are some photos I took for Lil Jo before we send him to school few days ago.

I asked him to pose for me….turn out with this look! LOL

Makeup Mondays With Mario: Nose Job

Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.

Hello Mario!

I have a roman nose with the classic bump on the bridge. I've been searching on how to minimize this problem, but can only find tips on how to minimize a wide or long nose. I understand that dark recedes and light makes things more pronounced. I got so frustrated with my lack of contouring skills that I decided to cancel out my whole nose and just shade the whole thing. Boy was that a mistake - haha. For some reason my nose was even more pronounced! Can you offer a some kind of makeup suggestion for this beak of mine? Thank you so much, and I love your work!

xoxo,
Susan

Hi Susan,

I’m no stranger to the beak, especially being of Albanian decent! My mother and father both actually have "the roman nose," as do so many men and women in eastern Europe. Unfortunately, makeup will not make such a big difference in decreasing the bump on the bridge. You will see best results in a photo once contoured properly rather than in person. Here's how to give your self a mini nose job...

You were right about dark shades receding and lighter shades emphasizing and bringing things out. Keep that in mind and with a small shadow brush, apply your lighter shade below and above the bump in the center. Make sure the bump is matte and with the darker, matte shade, very lightly sweep over it. There should be no harsh lines visible. Again, using the darker shade, you're now going to apply it to the tip of the nose that hangs downward so when you're looking straight at yourself in the mirror it should appear as if your nose ends where the dark shadow on the tip begins. Contouring takes a lot of practice so I advise that you try this out many times before you go out. Good luck!

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!

Mario

What I have been doing for my KL Trip?

Go there work? It is not a business trip (I don't think I would use that work for my current job, too formal) but I went there to work for my ex-employer (although I only work for her for a week last year). Suppose to go there with my boss my I can't book a same flight with her so I flew to KL half day earlier than my boss. Lonely…..but I always enjoy the trip even though I am alone.

I am staying at a nice department of my boss. Like it to the max, I am the earliest one to check-in to the service apartment so I got the opportunity to pick my room except master room. For the first night I can't sleep well cuz missing lil Jo and I miss my bed back to KK so I end up woke up early and then did some housekeeping.

All white interior, I liking the light!

Bed room I have picked. Ignore my belonging. J

The "Jagung" view…at the night.

I went KL for this – BeautyExpo 10 @ Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Took these before I head to the convention centre on the first day of the expo…glowing skin cuz of good night sleep!

I am surprised that there are readers say "hi" to me when they visited my company exhibition booth! Happy happy me.

Love,

Joey

What’s On My Bed Side

BODY LOTION

&

HANDS CRÈME

Yes, the above two items must be place on my bed side table. Of course you can see there are story book for lil Jo there as well.

My customer always told me that, it is so "ma fan" (mean troublesome) to put on lotion before bed time and I will always tell them to place the body lotion and hands lotion on the bed side table hence you always see it then you will never forget to apply the lotion loooooo…

I am using Johnson 24 Hours Lasting Moisture Body Lotion and L'occitane Cherry BlossomHand Creme.

Love,

Joey

FFK

Where I have been to lately? No update at all?
I am trying my very best to record my diary but I have been too busy for the past one week. I went to Kuala Lumpur to work for Beauty Expo 10 held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Too busy with family and work! The day before I fly to KL, lil Jo was sick and Hubby was not around (he at Singapore), I have to sent lil jo to clinic and waited for his turn to see the doc at 10am, I only manage to pack my luggage in the mid night before my travelling day. I am so o lucky have Ah Bing to send me to the airport when Hubby not around.

I booked evening flight, by the time I touch down KLIA, it was 8pm! Tired…and my friend cancels the date alst minute! FFK (fong fei kei) is not fun! But I know you gals tried your best to make it happen, after all it is quite tiring to go out till late during working days. :D

Ehm…waiting alone in the airport is not fun at all……….

Fortunately, Mr. Ooi able to pick me up from the airport and buy me teh tarik and roti bom at Nasi Kandar Kayu nearby SS2 before he send me to the palce I stay for the past one week. J

Love,

Joey

MAC Venomous Villains

 

'Member back in May when I scooped y'all about MAC Cosmetics' clever collabo with Disney? Well, Venomous Villains is almost here and Spoiled Pretty has a sneak peek at the collection.

A potion to poison, an apple to bite, a spell to cast…bad never looked so good. A crystal ball of color created from your favorite Disney Venomous Villains, inspired by the three most infamously frosty, fabulous and formidable of Disney's Dark Ladies…and one dastardly Dr. Facilier. Don’t you love it? A MAC and Disney collaboration to celebrate the dark side in every one of us, in a glamorous sort of way. Who’s the fairest one of all? Four separate mini-collections, in haute animated couture. The incomparable Cruella de Vil and Snow White's Evil Queen, each featured on one ultra primary displayer Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent and The Princess and the Frog's Dr. Facilier are both up to no good on their own. Uniquely designed iconic packaging you will kill for, cunning characters and bedeviled beauties that are so alluring, you can’t help but wonder: what would it be like to be one?
