DIVA AIZ

I am drawn to red items recently. Among these, my NYX Red Lipstick has been in my "Be Fierce" arsenal in the last 2 months.

I'll never be the type to use Red. I've always preferred light pink stains (and yeah I always end up with embarassing stains on my teeth too) or just balm (to avoid those stains)

It's only recently that I've invested in Matte Lipsticks. NYX was my first, in Deep Red,

In this look, I tried being Geisha for a Night.. no I'm kidding I just placed emphasis on the red lips.


Price and Availability. I think some online sellers, such as Cherry Culture, still have it but its no longer available at most drugstores and in the NYX main website. I bought it for SGD 10.

Shade. It is a richly pigmented red. Better applied with a lip brush to make it more natural.

I continued playing with makeup right after my earlier review of the Chanel CC Cream. I had a Makeup Haul last weekend so I used all of them in this playtime. 

Makeup Used: Chanel CC Cream (Primer), Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation, Loreal SuperLiner (Eyeliner), Maybelline Lashionista Mascara, SilkyGirl Precision Brow Liner

I might do separate reviews on the above

Marina Bay Sands deserves a special visit.. so I dared to wear RED LIPSTICK (Matte by Nyx Cosmetics) for the FIRST TIME. I love how it instantly brightened up my face, giving an illusion of a flawless and fresh face. Okay I cheated, I applied very little makeup as compared to my usual full-on coz I wanted the Red Lipstick to be the highlight. Only the best right? so I tried Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation in 40 too for the first time. I might post reviews for both soon.

What I Wore: Bandage Skirt from Cotton On, Thrifted Black Sheer Pearl-Collared Top

That photo was taken on a recent visit at the Marina Bay Sands. The most recent iconic spot in Singapore :) They were on their soft opening when I last visited on October 2010, only a few shops were open then, some of the floors were not yet tiled and the canal for the Sampan ride is still empty.

On the bucket list is a one-night stay in Marina Bay Sands and experience the Sky Sandspark. Oh that magnificent view of the city.

I am soooooo amazed at the beauty and retail (window shopping) therapy it now offers. There is a relaxed and elegant feel as you walk along, it must be the music, small crowd or the architecture that allows natural lighting. And from the bridgeway alone (parallel to the DNA bridge for those who are walking, oh yeah confusing), I felt like entering a different world as compared to the whole Singapore city. The mall is really upscale catering mostly designer brands like Gucci, YSL, Prada, and Louis Vuitton Island! Its the best or only LV gallery in Asia I guess. I am also awaiting Victoria's Secret's store opening.

Now moving on to food :) If you want to splurge on one meal, I think Pizzeria Mozza by Chef Mario Batali, is the least expensive choice from among other celebrity chef restaus in Marina Bay Sands.




Aside from hosting Iron Chef America, Mario Batali is one of the most recognized and respected chefs working today with his restaus and cookbooks.
