Nails Inc X Victoria Beckham in Singapore + Review


I still can't believe it I met Victoria Beckham! It was surreal! I remember I was at work when I saw the email from Sephora and I immediately typed an RSVP email to them. I was as fast as lightning. I didn't set my hopes high because I didn't think I can go because I have work. I think the invitation email only sent to black card members and the RSVP was on first come first serve basis and I was very lucky to get a reply from them! Guess I was fast enough! From the RSVP I got to bring one friend along with me. The event was held at Sephora ION at 11am, 19 May. I had to take a leave from work to see her. Doesn't matter. Saw VB.







Long story short, it was very crowded. I didn't get to see her from up close but I was able to take some pictures. I am such a bad blogger, I only used my phone camera. So you can see her pictures are all very blurry because I zoomed in too much :(. She was so charismatic! Her aura filled the room. And those cheekbones, can we talk about it? Are as sharp as blades. Her style is to die for and she is a mother of four? Hello. Doesn't make any sense. 

I had to buy her nail polish to get her sign. I've been eyeing Judo Red, the red one from the Nails Inc collection since a long time actually. I tried it before and I loved it. So I grabbed and purchased that one. It retails for $39. But when you can get her signature, the price is nothing. I was in front of the line I think I was the third person to get her sign. I went to her and damn, she was so cool, it was intimidating. I had to collect all my courage to say, can you write my name? She did not reply and there was a long pause as she sign my box, and then she said, spell that. And I was like YES MA'AM! Never I felt so nervous spelling my name. She's amazing tho. She has an empire. Who doesn't want to be in her shoes?

The nail polishes are gorgeous! The other color is Bamboo White, a bone color (that I might get soon because I can't stop thinking about it now!). The one that I have, Judo Red, is a red-orange sunset color. Very bright and fun. The pigmentation of the nail polish is amazing. One swipe and you're done. I'm not a big nail polish fan so I don't know how to talk about it. They stay on pretty well. Well, they should be! It dries fast and looks amazing on me. I don't know what else to say except, go get it now!

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick Review


Happy May everyone! I am such a bad beauty blogger. I never realized Stila has liquid lipsticks until only one month ago. I wanted to buy them at Sephora but they had no stock at all at that time. Like literally they didn't have a single stock. That made me want the lipsticks even more. Until two weeks ago I went to my Sephora and I found some nice colors on stock. I immediately grabbed them. You know I love my nudes. I got the color Dolce (only one left!) and Bellisima. Dolce is a brownish nude color while Bellisima is baby pink color. Each of them retails for $32 and they have 10 variations of colors.





These lipsticks dry to matte finish. The first thing I noticed was this lipstick is super creamy and the pigmentation is insane. One swipe you literally get the color in the bottle. It is too creamy even. Sometimes you can get a big lump of product. With one swipe I will have a very very thick layer of product and it is just too much. However, I feel like the formula for each color is different. Bellisima is thicker and creamier, I always get a super thick layer with one swipe, but not too much with Dolce surprisingly. But this lipstick doesn't make my lips flaky even though it dries to matte. And Stila was serious when they called this product Stay All Day because this lipstick stay all fucking day. It doesn't move a bit. It dries fairly quickly, I tried kissing my palm several times, no product transfer at all. I drink from a cup, no product transfer. This is by far the most long lasting lipstick I've ever tried. No joke. It is though smudges a little bit when I eat greasy food. Can't help it because oil dissolves makeup. Science, bitch. Anyway, 32$ I would say they worth the money considering the price is not so different to MAC lipsticks and because liquid lipstick is the it item of 2015, and since I cannot get my hands on ABH's.
