BEST Blackheads and whiteheads removal cream!! White: Gel Hut Mun

I HAD TO SHARE THIS!!!

So this morning my friend told me that she sent me a pic of her black and whiteheads on a white sheet and there were soooo many! Funny thing is the night before I was using my Daiso Nose Pack and it didn't really work. So I asked her what is she using.

                                                 

She told me she bought it (White: Gel Hut Mun) [ read reviews] from Qoo10 at $4 for 2 bottles! Cheap right! I asked if she could sell me one and she said okay.

Went home and tried it immediately. You're suppose to take a thin layer of the cream on your nose, then paste a piece of paper they've provided over it, wait 10-15mins for it to dry and peel it off.,

BEHOLD! It's freaking gross.

 SO MUCH RIGHT !! EWWWW! But so oddly satisfying! And my nose felt so smooth afterwards! 

Happy with the results, I tried it on my cheeks. 

Check. It. Out.

Worked so well and I'm sooo happy with it. Oh, and it smells good too!
Gonna throw my Daiso one away liao!

New house progress

Since I'm at aunt's house with wifi, I want to blog about the current status of our Fajar Hill flat. Renovations started in early November, only our toilet is done so far.

The following are the pictures drawn by our Interior Designer, Felix.

Above is the shoe cabinet my mom wanted and Felix designed. Mummy wanted a huge shoe cabinet that can fit all our shoes, I wanted the small corner to sit and wear our shoes. The colours were close to what we wanted, hopefully it turned out exactly like that.

I don't really care for the living room, but the picture looks good. The only thing we decided was the material for the TV console so far.

And the kitchen looks good too. We just chose the material of the kitchen cabinet. 

Now this is the part that I'm excited about. My Bed!

Bedroom's furniture positioning according to FengShui person. I'm not really superstitious but whatever. 

I really liked this bed I saw at the expo, but since my bed had to be positioned a certain way, this wouldn't fit.

It was a tie between this white royalty-like bed. 

And this platform bed. And I got the best of both worlds, I was told I could customize my own bed!

So i chose this colour.

This mattress. It's super comfy, It's very soft and gives the feeling of someone hugging you.

Tadaah~ Out of anticipation, I went home that day and sketch this picture out. My bed should look something like this. White headboard with diamonds, with white and black platform. Looking forward to seeing the actual thing.

Now for Curtains and Blinds! 

Saw this kind of roller blinds at Marina square and I fell in love. You can choose the amount of light you want in by using a simple roller mechanism. But at Marina square, they were selling it at $300+ per blind. 

My mom was super smart though, she found the same thing on Qoo10 ! We bought 3 sets of it for $300+ !  Woot woot ! Quarter of the price! 

So I chose this Basic black colour to match my room's black and white theme.

The curtain guy came this morning to measure our living room windows and we're doing the top purplish-grey colour for our curtains. 

Toilets

The only work reno that's in progress is the toilet right now. 

This is what our will look like if we were not to not do anything to it. Which is simple EXCEPT for the horrendous pattern beside the shower, What the hell HDB!

I think our toilet looks really good! My uncle picked out this resort-ish tile and my bro and I loved it! This is only one small corner, Will take a better picture next time. Can't wait!

Fake eyelashes

                                  

Fake eyelashes

                                     

^The first eyelashes I ever used was this False eyelashes C from daiso, it has a very comfortable transparent lash band. It's all used and gross now. I like it, but over time I got greedy and I wanted moreee, the lashes here was no longer thick enough for me. 

^So I went back to daiso and found this. 

^ But this False eyelash C glamorous is not so comfortable, the lash bone too thick for my liking and not as easy to manipulate to my eyeshape. The feel is plastic-y and looks unnatural, but does give you the full dramatic glamorous effect, showing up very nicely on pictures. Personally I prefer more natural lashes, so I don't like this, in fact, I'm throwing this away.

^ Then I found this on Taobao. The lashes looks natural with the same transparent band that I like, and the reviews were good, so I got it. 

$2.70 with shipping (w/o agent fee), 5 pairs.

^ You can tell the lashes is shorter on one side and longer on the other.

^ I like this alot, it's very comfortable, bend-y, looks natural, like I've done eyelash extensions aaand its so cheap. I'm definitely getting more. The only thing I don't like that much is the dotted effect of the eyelash band, but I guess I could just put eyeliner to solve the problem.

^ Side by side for comparison. See what I mean by the daiso one looking really good but fake.
