Of babies and pink hair

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Audrey

This post is super cheat one cos it’s just gonna be a carbon copy of Qiu’s Qweekly. *looks around furtively

I was in Singapore the past couple of days to visit Wendy and her baby, and Qiu asked me and Cheesie if she could feature the both of us in her new blogzine, Qweekly. Qiu ask cannot say no one!

Some more she started her email with “I am the editor of Qweekly” LOLOL this kind of persuasive skill how to reject you tell me.

Mad love this set of photos! Thank you Josh for taking such cute pictures of us (where we actually look like our normal selves but with maximum cuteness hahaha) and Qiu for doing our makeup and hair (and photoshopping my baby bump away wtf I am nowhere this skinny in real life now )

Haha Cheesie damn cute here.

We are both wearing two piece checkered suits from Foruchizu! Shop here.

My Alien Cat shirt and Cheesie’s whole outfit (except ladybug hat which is Qiu’s lol) also from Foruchizu.

I am still very amazed that Qiuqiu erased my entire belly cannot see at all!

Another look at Cheesie’s outfit.

A bit speechless when I saw the bottom left picture hahaha what came over me wtf.

Got another photo of us and Qiu but she didn’t wear makeup I don’t know if she let me post wtf Qiu if you are ok you tell me please hahaha.

Ok la so as to not let this blog post be all stolen pictures from Qiu, here’s the main reason why we went to Singapore!

Hello Wendy and Dash! (also visited my brother and sister in law who also had a baby 3 weeks before! It was Educational Baby Trip for me and Fatty)

So surreal that Wendy is a mommy now! Everything she does now is for the good of the baby leh. This is what motherhood does to you! I’m quite touched and in awe cos I sometimes wonder at my future mothering capabilities. >_>

HAHAHAHAH I think this is the best photo I’ve ever taken in my life. Wendy just fed baby Dash and she was trying to burp him so he wouldn’t vomit later. He was all grumpy and falling asleep and end up his face become like this hahahahahaha. Give the mommy such a dirty look hahahaha.

(this is the correct way to burp a baby, damn annoying all those prepubescent idiots on Instagram slamming her for torturing her baby. Siao.)

In other news…

Attended Naddy’s wedding recently! She married the man of her dreams and I wish them all the happiness.

Fatty got me a new watch! I never had a Baby G even though I wanted one badly in school. Instead my cousin pacified me with a fake Baby G in shitty green wtf.

In more baby news, the other day I excitedly thought I already had a bump! I took a photo and whatsapped it to godmother Angela.

Then next day the bump disappeared WTF. So I think I effectively sent a picture of poop in my stomach to Angela FHL.

Oh and Hikky (Instagram @hikimoto_hikky) gave me a new hair color! Beige brown and pink on the bottom.

Looks like I’m wearing pink tassel earrings hor! <3

<3 burn

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Audrey

written on 20 Feb

So yeah the reason I’ve been complaining so much about heartburn is because I’m pregnant obviously. Hahaha.

I’ve been suffering from heartburn for the past few nights which is very very tiresome because as far as I know, I haven’t been doing anything to aggravate it!

I’ve gotten heartburn once or twice before (before pregnancy) and I’m not even sure why. Maybe because I used to laugh at a friend who regularly got heartburn and even called him Heartburn (until don’t even remember his name now FHL) so maybe god is punishing me for that wtf.

(Heartburn during pregnancy is caused by the relaxation of muscles due to the pregnancy hormones or something which can also relax the esophagus muscles which is why stomach acid keeps coming up and you get heartburn.)

I googled extensively for causes of heartburn to see how I could avoid it. I didn’t want to take any pills or medicine because… I hate medicine la wtf. And I don’t know what kind of effects it could have on the baby so I’m not taking chances wtf.

So the list of causes include eating spicy food, fatty food, lying down after eating, eating too big meals…. all of which I have been avoiding lo!

Spicy food is unfortunately one of the things that I feel ok eating and I have to stay away from it leh! And I’m not eating any of Fatty’s food what LOLOL ok joke. I make sure I’m upright at all times after eating also; I’ve taken to sleeping on two pillows which causes stiff neck in the morning fml. So maybe the only thing I’m doing wrong is eating too much.

I don’t know how much is too much! Before I was pregnant the amount of food I ate a meal was already a lot by other people’s standards so maybe even though I think I’m eating less now it’s still too much haih. Maybe I should reduce my portions even more and eat more frequently… but I hate feeling hungry….

Anyway back to bad heartburn. I had it for days in a row and I was so troubled by it I even felt like sticking my finger down my throat so EVERYTHING would come up and quit bothering me going up and down my esophagus.

Then last night I had heartburn AND a big wave of nausea, just as I was fluffing up my two pillows to sleep. I sprang up, ran to the bathroom only to have the nausea pass as quickly as it came.

I climbed back into bed (with my throat hurting from heartburn) and feeling very sorry for myself wtf. Fatty turned over to pat me on the head and hug me…

And I burst into tears.

Damn hormones.

I sobbed for like five minutes while Fatty went “why why? why you cry? is it the hormones? it’s the hormones isn’t it?” and rubbed my shoulders.

And after five minutes, I was done crying. Fatty asked “why did you cry?”

I said, “I don’t know. I don’t know what I was even sad about.”

The story of how we found out

Posted on April 7, 2013 by Audrey

This post was written some time ago! Now only can publish. Up to you to figure out how long I am now wtf. This is the story of how we found out I was pregnant.

My period had been late two weeks but I still didn’t really think I could be pregnant. I was under the assumption that if you’re pregnant you start throwing up right away wtf.

So I just bought the test to ascertain I wasn’t so I could tell the doctor wtf. In fact, I was so sure I wasn’t that when I was buying the test I also bought an ovulation kit for the fun of it to check if I really ovulated wtf. (due to my condition, PCOS)

I peed on the stick and waited for the windows to absorb the pee.

Saw the line appear on the first window and thought, ‘well that’s that.” And turned away to get toilet paper wtf.

Got my toilet paper, looked back at the stick and saw… TWO LINES.

My first reaction was to shake the stick and see if the lines would move WTF. And the first thing I said was exactly the same thing I said when Fatty proposed: “REAL ONE OR NOT?”

HAHAHA.

So. My hand started shaking wtf. I called Fatty to bring the box into the bathroom so I could check what two lines meant. Fatty handed me the box and I stared at the instructions.

“Fatty I think I’m pregnant.”

“No la cannot be.”

“No really you see what the box says.”

“Are you sure those are two lines? Not a watermark or something?”

Then when it sank into him, he silently went to his computer and googled pregnancy symptoms. And didn’t talk much for like half an hour hahahahaha.

Why like this! I’m the mommy why is he more in shock than me lolol.

We called our respective parents and told them the (tentative) good news and Fatty’s mom started going on about how this tree in her garden never bloomed but it suddenly bloomed a few days ago so she thought it was a good omen of things to come WTF.

Both sides are very happy of course but I think the Oois were in a bit of shock lol.

So how has the first trimester been so far?

First week actually, I think I’m only about 5 weeks in so far.

1. No morning sickness yet, although I do get horribly nauseous most of the time. I have no idea if this is morning sickness! I’m not throwing up (thankfully) but I’m hungry and gassy all the time so it could just be the gas making me nauseous. The second (literally) I open my eyes in the morning – usually because I have to pee – I feel a wave of nausea over me and I’m terrified I’ll puke. I have to force myself to eat something right away, and then the nausea abates a bit but it never quite goes away. I don’t feel like I will really puke but my stomach is still queasy and churning all the time.

2. Hungry all the time. Oh my god I feel like a fucking whale. I get hungry every 2-3 hours regardless of what I eat. At the same time, I feel sick thinking of most foods and the only thing I feel like taking is liquids… and spicy foods wtf. BODY Y U SO STUPID.

Since I wrote this, I still get hungry but only because I seem to have lost all appetite. I mostly eat to not be hungry now so I eat teeny portions just to be full, then get hungry soon after. I don’t really have food cravings, but I got lots of food aversions! I can’t stand Japanese food now, especially the thought of sashimi (shocker cos it used to be my favorite food in the world) and keep wanting to drink clear Chinese style soup, and eat veggies and fruits hahaha super healthy. I can’t stand the smell of meat and fish though so I’m like on a semi vegetarian diet now. And water makes me nauseous fts so I’m existing on 100 plus, milk …and water tinged with Ribena. The upside to this is that Fatty lets me pick what to eat nearly every meal now HAHAHA.

3. Peeing a lot. Not sure why, but feel thirstier now more than ever. And every time I take a glass of water I have to go to the toilet TWICE. Very horrible cos unless I drank a lot of water and didn’t go before bed I don’t wake up in the middle of the night to pee. Now I wake up without fail every night, and when I go, it’s usually only a half full bladder wtf. Very not worth it. It’s like having a UTI but at least without the pain and fever.

4. Boobs are damn big. HAHAHAHA. Ok la not Pamela Anderson big but shocking enough wtf. I always wanted bigger boobs but now that I have em… I think they make me look fat wtf. Cannot make up my mind.

(blog cut short need to eat again WTF)

Nobody puts Baby in the corner

Posted on April 5, 2013 by Audrey

Yesterday I posted this on Instagram:

It’s an epidemic!! Hahaha.

I was super nervous before, debating if I should post this, but I’m glad I did because of all the 100% positive comments we received. <3 I know Mumsy Ooi was worried (don’t worry mummy!) but with all the love and well wishes pouring in, this can only be a good time.

Me & Fatty (and our families) are very excited about this! Blog more later!

P/S: congratulations and lotsa love to Wendy and Mike on the arrival of Baby Dash!!

Foruchizu Spring Style contest!

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Audrey

A few weeks ago I blogged about our Foruchizu and Shu Uemura photoshoot remember?

This April, Shu Uemura is launching a new range called ob for shu uemura.

It’s a complete range including the cleansing oil, assorted cosmetics and fake lashes! Ya super dreamy and pretty hor! The range comes in four different colors/princess themes – Sakura Princess (pink), Moon Princess (yellow), Ocean Princess (blue) and Forest Princess (green).

In our photoshoot we did our best to recreate the four Princesses according to Foruchizu’s interpretation!

Cheesie is Forest Princess. Hence the green dress and wildflowers in her hair.

I was Sakura Princess. To be honest, we had a little trouble with this look – the outfit we originally planned on didn’t turn out so good so we had to a last minute switch!

Pink and white outfit of fabric that reminds us of flower petals. And pink flowers in the hair! Btw we are restocking the Rose Hair Wreath everyone loves sometime this week. ^^

Crazy love for this outfit. Cheesie is Ocean Princess. Cue the Ariel-esque hair, starfish clips in her hair (made of real starfish btw!), and long flowy blue dress. And my favorite bit – a necklace made of bubblessssssss (actually made of glass la, very fragile)

Let me be Part of Your World Cheesie!!!!! wtf

The moon represents my heart wtf.

Moon Princess! We struggled with this a bit also hahaha cos while Moon is supposed to be yellow, we decided to make the Foruchizu interpretation more black.

Dress has a cat motif on the front and I’m wearing a cat hat! (both were available at Foruchizu but now sold out) Why black cat is because black cats are often associated with mystery and night = moon wtf. And the pastel rainbow hair also went well we thought, cos the moon evokes thoughts of shimmery light colors (or so I think wtf hahaha)

Anyway straight to the point! It’s our first time collaborating with a makeup brand (especially a Nihon one!) so we’re very excited. ^^

To show our support for Shu Uemura, we put together four sets of coordinates, one for each Princess. And our (ahem) Foruchizu styled princesses are on display at the Shu Uemura roadshow, for ob for Shu Uemura!!!!

Taken while still setting up so nothing much yet. Yup one of the outfits is the mermaid one Cheesie wore! :D

This is the finalized version for Moon Princess. We decided it needs more yellow but we’re still staying true to the cat theme.

Ok la my pictures suck plus it wasn’t set up properly yet but really the outfits look a lot nicer in person la hahaha. Can go to the Shu Uemura roadshow in 1Utama to see (from now to 8 April, then Midvalley Megamall from 8-14 April)! They are running a simple contest to give away ALL the Princess looks (which includes not just dresses, but accessories – rings, necklaces, hats hair pieces, stoles, etc – and even iPhone cases… and wigs!) so go find out more!

For every purchase of Shu Uemura worth RM200, the first 50 customers will receive a RM20 cash voucher for any items available at Foruchizu.com ^^

And in return……… here’s what Foruchizu is doing!

Foruchizu Spring Style contest. :3

Shu Uemura was very generous and gave us loads of ob for Shu Uemura products so we wanna give them away to our customers to thank you for your support!

Obviously all our customers super love fashion (or else why would they shop at Foruchizu wtf) so we’re having a styling contest in conjunction with the super pretty spring-themed ob collection for Shu.

All you have to do is pick at least ONE Foruchizu item that you wanna style, and style it in a whole coordinate according to one of the FOUR themes – Sakura, Forest, Moon or Ocean.

It could be an item you already own, and think it would fit perfectly into one of the themes, or it could be an item you’re planning to buy (ahem) but the whole point is creating a kickass Spring Princess coordinate for us to see

Eg. you decide to use this pair of bunny earrings as part of a Moon Princess coordinate (cos bunnies live on the moon right).

If you already own it, just create a Moon Princess inspired outfit and wear it with our earrings and take a photo and post it on Facebook. Remember to tag Foruchizu so we can see it!

Something like this la.

If you don’t own anything anything suitable from Foruchizu (and you don’t wanna buy wtf in that case I am giving you crazy eyes), you can still join the styling contest. Just create a collage of pictures of items you wanna wear together (but need at least one item from Foruchizu ok!) like this:

And post it on Facebook and tag us too!

Simple enough right?

We will try to give consideration to people who actually style the outfit and wear it themselves (cos we wanna support our customers in return) but when it boils down to it, judging criteria will be:

creativity (how creatively you interpret the Princess look)
style (how well you put the outfit together, so consider doing your hair and makeup and accessorize!) and
photo quality (must be clear and bright enough to see)

This is what we will be giving away…

4 complete sets of ob for Shu Uemura makeup range! (one for each color)

Each set includes: 1 Cleansing Oil +1 Compact Case (for foundation) +1 Custom case, duo (for eyeshadow) + 2 Pressed Eye Shadows +1 set of Fake Eye Lashes +1 Rouge Unlimited lip color +1 UVUB Mousse. Total worth about RM800 each!

We will pick 4 grand winners to give these to – doesn’t matter which color princess you go for – we may even pick 2 Sakura princesses for example if they’re really the best styled. For the same reason, the four colors will be given out randomly to be fair!

We also have consolation prizes! 5 consolation winners will win an Express makeover voucher from Shu Uemura Iconic Services worth RM100 each. So you get a free makeover done by Shu. ^^

Contest runs 2-30 April. All the best and we can’t wait to see your entries on Facebook!

Foruchizu Facebook page.

P/S: The prizes are redeemable in Malaysia only (cos we can’t send liquids overseas) so this contest is only open for Malaysian residents. But hopefully our next venture we’ll be able to do something for our international customers too!

PP/S: We also have Shu Uemura cash vouchers to give away! From 3 April onwards, we are giving away RM2o cash vouchers from Shu Uemura (for their products) to the first 50 Foruchizu customers who spend RM80 and above in a single purchase (only applicable for Malaysian residents also, sorry!)

PPP/S: Phew that was a long entry. Very excited to hear from you all!

Baby elephant

Posted on March 31, 2013 by Audrey

Hmph wanted to blog about this but Fatty stole my content. >:(

Anyway I’ve been having loads of very vivid dreams lately. The other day I had an extremely long and realistic dream in which Fat Her and Mummy Ooi were getting a divorce WTF. I guess all my childhood fears are still deeply entrenched in me cos I woke up from the dream in tears. ಠ_ಠ But I also vaguely remember thinking in the dream that maybe if I cried enough they wouldn’t go through with it hahahahaha.

Don’t wanna elaborate too much cos it makes me feel sad wtf.

But then a few days ago I had a dream that made up for it! This is the conversation I had with Fatty about it.

*Fatty comes home from work and comes into our room

Me: *waking up from an afternoon nap* Fatty!

Fatty: Wah good life huh! Sleeping while your husband works to put food on the table huh!

Me: *ignores* I just had one of the best dreams ever!

Fatty: What what?

Me: I dreamed that I was at my (parents’) house. And my house wasn’t renovated yet, so it had like this shallow wet area to wash clothes and do wet work in. And I had a small pet elephant!!!

Fatty: …

Me: And the elephant is damn cute! It’s damn small and round but quite heavy. It had a pink ribbon tied around its neck some more. Then the backside is like a basketball like that. In the dream I was carrying it but I accidentally dropped it into a bucket of water and when it fell you can see the big round ass sticking up. I thought it was hurt but then it happily splashed around in the water. Apparently it likes taking baths. AHAHAH damn cute.

Fatty: Okay…

Me: Such a nice dream such a nice dream….

10 minutes later…

Fatty: Do you know that our neighbors have a cat?

Me: When did you go to our neighbors house?

Fatty: When you were sleeping.

Me: WOW SO MUCH HAPPENED WHEN I WAS SLEEPING. I had an elephant, the neighbor had a cat….

New Olay Regenerist

Posted on March 29, 2013 by Audrey

Last year, I blogged about the Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing Cream.

This year, Olay has introduced a new & upgraded innovation under their Regenerist range.

This is the Olay Regenerist Micro-sculpting Cream Moisturizer.

The cream is off white in color and looks very smooth and er creamy. Hahaha. It has a slight fragrance too, quite subtle but sweet.

The new micro-sculpting cream comes with 20% more anti aging ingredients and more amino-peptide and new ingredients like Olivem and Lyslastine which can boost collagen and make the product works faster and penetrate deeper within skin layers.

Took a couple of dabs to test it on my hand. Texture is very smooth and fine! The cream absorbed very quickly into my skin as well, and actually left my skin feeling a little bit wet, as opposed to thick or sticky.

Besides that, there’s also this video that shows a water dispersion test on the new Olay Regenerist.

This is what the video description states.

So I put their claim to the test.

First I filled up two containers with equal amounts of water (125ml each).

In one, I scooped some Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream.

The other I squeezed some generic Brand X moisturizer. Lol.

Gave them both a good shake.

This is what the Olay looks like. I tried to hold it up to the light so I could see if there’s any residue.

And this is Brand X.

Huge difference huh!

I’m very interested in learning more about the science behind the test and why is it that an effective skin product should be more easily water-dispersed. That’s why I’m going for the Olay Regenerist Stay Youthful beauty workshop! Cleo (the magazine) and Olay is having this workshop for 30 Cleo readers on 6 April! Every attendee will receive a door gift worth RM100.

And Olay Regenerist also ran a Facebook Offer for RM20 off this month! Like Olay Malaysia Facebook page now so that you don’t miss any offer!

Haven’t done an AudEveryday post for some time hor!

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Audrey

A bit missed it actually since my memory is horrifyingly getting even worse. I don’t even remember saying things I said to my friends a few weeks ago anymore WTF. Most of the time when they say “remember you said…” I just lie and say “ya ya what about it” wtf.

So here’s an Everyday post!

Fatty’s sister in law (which is also my sister in law wheee) recently had a baby girl! And combined with Wendy’s soon-to-be-born Dash, this gave me the perfect excuse to shop for baby clothes.

I’ve always been massively uninterested in babies so this was the first time I ever stepped into a baby store.

I didn’t realize baby clothes were so cute!!!!!!!!! Cute until I feel like ripping them to pieces!!!!!!! *goes on rampage

Went a bit nuts in the store wtf. People faster give birth more so I can shop again thank you.

Lunch the other day! Usually Fatty comes to pick me up for lunch or I drive out to meet him but this was one of the days he wasn’t free so…. tah dah simple lunch!

Rice with furikake on top and stir fried chopped up beans and kiam chye and minced pork. Called Mummy Ooi like seven times to ask her how to do it (also because my memory is so bad I kept forgetting the next step wtf).

An even lazier lunch. Lazy + didn’t feel like eating anything oily because I keep getting heartburn fml so I just boiled some soba and added it into a bottle of soba soup base from Isetan Damn healthy.

Then half an hour later hungry again fts.

Corgi pictures that Huiwen sent me HAHAHAHAHA because we realized we’re mutually obsessed with corgis.

Corgi!! You really float my boat wtf.

I’m not even sure what’s going on in this picture hahahahahahah.

Some outfit pics! Super floral and demure these days.

Skirt is from Foruchizu. Comes with the inner lace shorts peeking out.

Dress also Foruchizu.

Face is from makeup wtf.

Aztec maxi also Foruchizu. This is what I wore the other day for my facial at DrX.

Jammie was the one who first introduced me to DRx, an aesthetics clinic in Plaza Damas cos she knows the resident doctor there.

My skin is very uneven toned, which is not visible in pictures and after makeup but bugs me to no end. Every beautician or dermatologist who I’ve come across sure tell me that my skin is very dull one. T____T

So Dr Jason (the doctor at DRx) put me on a special skin regime.

Here’s my new skincare routine ahem.

First tone face. I’m using Kose’s Sekkisei toner now. Then apply Comedone Formula on my T zone. Comedone Formula is to get rid of whiteheads and blackheads and it is freaking fantastic!

I used to have lots of whiteheads on my chin which would pop out whenever I put my tongue between my lower lip and my teeth and push out wtf. Damn gross one look like worms WTF.

But after a few weeks of using the CF, my T zone is totally smooth. Super love. Persistent blackheads are still there but whiteheads (the precursor to blackheads) are gone!

After CF, I apply the Clinique Dark Spot Corrector I mentioned a few posts ago on my dark spots.

Then I apply Max C which is actually Vitamin C, meant to brighten skin, followed by Vit-A Gel (Vitamin A) also to make skin glowy.

The Acne Spot Solution I only use when I get zits. Very effective at drying out and stunting zit growth I feel, more than tea tree oil which I normally use.

Then sunblock! No moisturizer, unless I feel that my skin is super tight or dry. The idea is to let the skin be a bit dry to regenerate faster.

I’ve been on this regime for about three months already and at first I didn’t notice a difference which is why I didn’t blog about it for so long. But in the past two weeks I think my skin looks a bit more even now! Not as dull also, even Mumsy Ooi commented that my skin looks brighter and finer! (and she’s usually quite critical of skin and beauty hahaha)

The other day I went back for a facial too. The one I did is called Essential Facial which essentially uses an ultrasound device (ya like the pregnancy thing) to clear your face of dirt, oil and blackheads, and then to push nutrients into your skin D: (including Vit A & C) and finishes off with a marine-derived ingredient mask.

Totally no makeup after facial.

Ok so DRx said they would give my readers a 50% discount off the first trial for the Essential Facial! All you have to do is quote my name when you book your appointment. You try for yourself and see ah.

Springing it on you

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Audrey

Three things to post today! All related to Foruchizu hahaha.

First, here’s a look at Foruchizu behind the scenes!

Foruchizu behind the scenes of a shoot

When we first started, we planned on using mannequins to model our stuff… because we thought it would look more uniform la.

But when we looked at our site, nothing looked very appetizing on mannequins. :X

One of the first things we learned was that… humans still look better no matter what wtf. So this round, we enlisted the help of Bobo to model for us! Reasons: cos she pretty la what else wtf. And also because she’s taller so normal people don’t need to worry about being able to fit into the stuff I wear hahahaha.

(she’s about 5 ft 5 if you want to measure yourself against the clothes she’s wearing)

We did our shoot at One Way Studio, which is a studio owned by Kim In Pink. She did my blog layout as well as our prewedding photoshoot. I’ve always loved working with her so it was an obvious choice.

This is the latest endeavour from her – a studio that specializes in product shooting (although she probably also does indoor wedding shoots here) so if you’re selling something, you can always look for her! Prices as below:

First 5 readers from Fourfeetnine or Cheeserland who mention the promo code onewayforuchizu will get 10% off. Contact One Way Studio here.

Besides product shooting, that day we also did a concept shoot for April. Since it’s April, the theme was obviously spring.

Our makeup for that day was all done by Shu Uemura. Even these super cute lashes above! Super spring feel right, got teeny sakura blossoms at the ends.

How it looks on.

Being very awkward during shoot. I don’t know why I kid myself that I can pose. Lolol.

This look is called Sakura princess.

Wearing Sakura Ruffle top and white tutu skirt from Foruchizu! (obviously wtf). The skirt is already up while the top will be launched on Monday. Rose wreath is currently out of stock but we’re restocking and should be up again within the next two weeks!

Hair was done by Amy from 76style! 76style opened a new branch in Bangsar so you can go look for her there.

Second look was Moon Princess. Hair is a wig not done by Amy wtf.

Cheesie was Ocean Princess! Hence the Ariel-colored hair lolol. Her outfit details damn nice – bubble necklace and starfish hair acccessories.

Moon and Ocean Princesses!

Actually a lot of things to do but still got time to be stupid. -_- Mickey /Lady Gaga glasses are also available at Foruchizu.

And and… bunny scarf! Hahahaha not sure how many people will buy this la but the bunny is super soft and fuzzy when worn around the neck and much cuter than you would think hahaha. Launching in April.

With Cheesie and Bobo!

Mercedes Benz Grand Prix Fashion Week

Feeling extremely awkward around the other guests who were decked to the nines in flashing jewelry and evening gowns aside, the launch to the fashion week was quite interesting!

Never been to one of these events before but Shu Uemura was the makeup sponsor and they kindly extended us invites.

Wore again the cat dress (and cat hat) that was part of the Moon Princess coordinate.

With Fatty! Got miss his face or not wtf.

Shu Uemura makeup artist doing her thang.

Cheesie <3 We both came in black and headgear hahaha.

Self promo time wtf

Ok time to show newest Foruchizu releases! Spring is coming so our newer stuff are more lighter-colored and have a cuter more playful vibe.

We call this the Candy Crush denim jacket. Cos it has Candy Crush elements! The cherry… the word Candy… uhhh plus the eyeball… *keeps quiet.

Aztec (?) print two piece maxi!

You’ll always have Paris… (or Tokyo)… in your hair wtf.

The neko hat comes in beige too! Ears are pale pink satin.

(Super love this picture of Bobo)

Matches our scalloped bow skirt! The skirt fits UK8-10 best I think.

Reason why I mentioned Shu Uemura so many times

Foruchizu is doing a collabo with Shu Uemura (Malaysia) in April!!!!!

Now cocktease you first, next post only tell you what it’s about HAHAHA.

(Cheesie is Forest Princess here)

End with a picture of myself wtf. I think I still like side swept bangs on myself best. >_>

Spot the difference!

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Audrey

It’s not visible on my blog but remember last year when I went to the US twice?

The first time I went to Vegas, which is a desert and where the sun was INSANE.

Yea it was very hot and bright, but I didn’t give it much thought because c’mon what could be worse than the hot tropical sun we have here.

Obviously the answer is desert sun.

I applied my sunblock in the morning as usual, and as usual, didn’t supplement it during the day and just frolicked around shopping and touring the Strip. I was also horribly misled by the cool breeze and wrongly thought that the sun there wasn’t as bad as it is at home. How wrong I was.

I came home… to this.

LOOK AT THAT PATCH OF PIGMENTATION. T__________T

It used to be a freckle, but after Vegas, freckle morphed into a frightening dark spot. It looks like it’ll shape up to be Australia soon enough.

(please ignore the capillaries and redness they’re not the point here -_-)

Under the dark spot, I also have some acne scars T_____T Together with my mole, they might as well form the Bermuda triangle la.

I never used to have dark spots from acne! In fact I never had acne. But when I stopped my birth control pills, my hormones went crazy for a while and I started breaking out! So these are the bitter reminders of it.

And sadly, the older I am the longer my skin takes to regenerate and for scars to go away. T______T I’ve been living with these spots for months now haih.

I recently learned about skin hyperpigmentation when I attended a mini briefing by Clinique.

Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of skin caused by increased production of melanin. Hyperpigmentation happens due to a lot of factors. Like for me it was related to sun exposure and to zits healing, but for Redmummy (who was also there) it was caused by pregnancy sucks to be her.

Other causes can also be scarring from skin wounds or rashes, or even if you use a product which irritates your skin. Super suay one. Skin, Y U SO SENSITIVE!?

Clinique introduced us to to their Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector (next to it is Even Better foundation which is part of the same range).

The dark spot corrector isn’t new on the market (Redmummy said she already bought two bottles of it lol) but it’s a product worth trying!

Hyperpigmentation doesn’t just appear overnight; for stuff like sun spots especially, it takes years of sun exposure to build up and pile on the melanin. So in the same way, it will take a long time to lighten the spots too.

But Clinique’s studies have shown that there will be a 58% difference in skin tone in 12 weeks, although I do think this will differ from person to person.

Us at Clinique. The lady with us is from Clinique and she has super gorgeous skin and she’s already in her forties! Hope she doesn’t kill me for revealing her age.
