I have been away too long

To my dear friends who read this often,
yes I have been away too long.
I have felt uninspired to work on this website as I search around again for who I am.
But i realise I do enjoy educating people about the benefits of real makeup and not some scam. Also the real beneftis of good skincare and not some scam.
i will be back.
Meanwhile enjoy this video.
LEARN FROM IT...
We've always been too selfish for Earth and for all that is living on it.

so darnest cuties.. once again MAc has win hands down to work together with Sanrio to create Hello Kitty related MAC makeup!!! Beautiful!!!

Interview with James Gager
Creative Director, M·A·C Worldwide

Why M·A·C and Hello Kitty? What is the connection?

First of all, both M·A·C and Hello Kitty are globally loved. There are Hello Kitty-obsessed fans and M·A·C addicts, and both represent high-end as well as street fashion, inexpensive items and couture. Each brand represents a pop culture phenomenon. M·A·C’s incredibly coveted limited edition collections coupled with the public’s 30 plus-year addiction to all things Hello Kitty makes the partnership a no-brainer.

When you first encountered the project, what was your inspiration?

SANRIO didn’t come to us. We went after them! We simply felt that there was a great synergy that existed between us. Of course, we considered the idea that for all of the interesting partnerships they’ve participated in they had never done makeup before, and I was certain that all those women who already own a bit of Hello Kitty would also want to own branded makeup. Hello Kitty is completely universal: Millions of people are in love with her and they can’t get enough.

Who is the M·A·C Hello Kitty girl?

She is absolutely our customer, and she’s unusual in that she could be 14 or 75 years old. Within that broad range of women (and even men I should say), you’ll find an individual that loves to play with makeup in an offbeat, original way.

The Hello Kitty beauty visuals shot by Nick Knight are stunning. Can you tell us about the two images?

The more ethereal image is of the blonde holding a black vinyl Hello Kitty doll that we’ll sell as part of the accessory line.
We were imagining this wonderful, almost Alice in Wonderland - like character with a definite M·A·C edge, standing there looking at this doll and wondering what she encompasses. If you look at the other visual, it’s more of a dominatrix, va va voom, fetish kind of creature; and each of these two characters is wondering what it might be like to transform into the other, which is how we show that makeup can be incredibly transformative. Overall, it’s an Alice in Wonderland meets Wizard of Oz fairy tale narrative.

There are a lot of fun accessories that will accompany the M·A·C Hello Kitty Colour Collection. How did you come up with the packaging and concepts?

The accessories collection is both cool and affordable. Additionally, we have created Hello Kitty Kouture, a very exclusive, limited edition luxe line done with Swarovski crystals. We worked very closely with Hello Kitty’s parent company, SANRIO, to develop the accessories and the idea behind the line. We have something for everyone! Personally, I love the adorable Hello Kitty Plush Doll, and there’s also a black bracelet with three charms, makeup mirrors, a brush holder, makeup bags, and a tote that’s printed in a Pucci-esque pattern among other items. And that brings me to the packaging of the entire M·A·C Hello Kitty collection: It’s very graphic and fashion-forward. In fact, all of the makeup colours in the collection have come from runway trends for spring and the collection connotes a very glamourous vibe that plays up the more fashionable aspects of a woman. It’s fun, too. Most importantly, we are certain that this collaboration will put a smile on people’s faces!

SHU UEMURA Spring Collection 2009

MY FAVOURITE DEODRANT! BEST FIND!

The most amazing thing I have used since I started puberty (which is a long time ago!!).

This deodorant WIPE is required to be used only once every 5 to 9 days.
It works by inhibiting the bacteria that causes the smell. Lesser bacteria, less/no smell!

How to use it properly.
1) Shower clean.
2) Pat dry your arm pit areas.
3) Take the individual moisten sheet out
4) Wipe it on the pit area
5) Will suggest wiping it vertically and horizontally systematically.
6) Why? To make sure the solution is rub on every possible area under the armpit.
7) Trim if auxiliary hair is too long, or make sure the auxiliary hair is also coated by the solution.

I have tried it and it IS AMAZING. No smell from one full day of outdoor shoot, no smell after one week of showering with anti-bacterial body wash, no smell from running around. Nothing at all. Amazing!

Now available in Watson's Singapore for $3.90 for 3 wipes.
1 wipe lasting about 1 week.

Great subtle gifts for those loved ones who have an odour problem! :)
