Shadow Swatch: Tokidoki Sodashop Palette

I decided to head to Sephora on Tuesday to get a birthday present for my friend. At the formerly known Iluma (now known as Bugis+ but I still call it Iluma. Bugis+ is so meh), I saw this Tokidoki Palette going for $29! I had to get it cuz it was so cheap hahahaha (well technically my bf got it for me on the pretext of 'shitting'. I don't know why he was itching to buy something for me cuz everything I touched and wowed at he's like 'you like that? you want it??' and to throw him off his guard I pointed to everything in the mall and went 'ya ya ya get me this this this this this' bahaha) 
Was actually debating if I wanted to get any palettes, especially Naked 2, but these days I'm pretty lazy and am able to get out of the house with just mascara. And besides I have more eyeshadows than I have eyelid space so I didn't really saw the need to spend $80 on make up...
However when I saw that palette with the metal tin I was sucked into it hahahahaha and plus it's a good deal. Yes I'm a sucker for metal tins and cheap deals. 
The outside print of the tin, the inside with mirror, and a sheet of magnets for decoration. honestly the front is busy enough so no need to decorate already la.







comes with 12 eyeshadows, a liquid eyeliner and 2 nail files. I also like that the palette has a mix of browns and some purples cuz I LOVE PURPLE. 

 

Skull Donut, Potatino, Riposino
Ciccio, Mummetto, Mozarella
Tulipano, Nancy Rocks, Romeo
Ciotolino, Arrosto, Furbina 
Eyeliner is Arlecchino. Apparently they have different colours in different boxes, and just so happens I got the Blue one hurhur. I checked online there were several others that didn't look as good as the blue so I'm pretty contented.





I must say, I wasn't entirely impressed with the matte shades, namely Mummetto, Tulipano, Arrosto and Furbina cuz when swatched, they felt quite chalky. I had to swipe a few times to get that intensity on the arm so I imagine it won't stay long on the lids. The frosty shades turned out pretty alright though.

I can't wait to see what looks I can come up with!


So, did any shade(s) catch your eye?

Polish Swatch: OPI My Private Jet



I bought this from DYON. It's a scattered holo rather than linear, and the particles don't show too much.

Life: Eason Chan Concert

Brought the boyfriend along to watch Eason Chan concert at MBS 2 sundays back cuz I had free tickets. I must say even though I'm not a big fan (I think I only know 3 songs of his hahaha) I enjoyed it a lot! except for the dancers who had quirky costumes (think crash dummies) and they looked like they were randomly moving around, the entire show was spectacular! Eason Chan was also hyper and extremely funny. was slightly disappointed cuz the two songs that I know by heart he sang Chinese instead of Canto and vice versa :/


Also his avid fans from Hong Kong were behind me screaming 'Eason!!!! Eason!!! Encore!!!' which sound really like ‘医生! 医生 ! Ankle!!!' cuz um they pronounced encore wrongly. and then the boyfriend -whose humour should be questioned sometimes- started screaming "in pain" and called out 医生  too hahahahaha.
But I think he enjoyed the show more than me la, considering this is his first pop concert and there were pyrotechnics involved haha.
