- Makeup item hitting the pan: My Red Earth foundation compact powder just hit the pan! I started it in May, use it every alternate day, so it's a 6 months lifespan. It's abit thin, don't you think?
- Last purchase: Natio brush pouch with zipper $5! I bought it not because I need a pouch or it's cheap. I wanted the pencil sharpener that comes with it! Now it means I can spend more on eyebrow pencils, liners, etc. Also, it comes with Natio eyecream, mascara and pencil black eyeliner! Not bad for $5 yeah!
- What's on youtube..: As I just got my little pug Dory, I have been obsessed on the youtube looking at pugs! I find that pugs tilt their heads all da time, it's like their DNA is imprint to do it, at the sound of human voice. It's just sooo supa adorable! Watch 3 pugs tilting their heads here!
- Just realised I don't need..: 2 drawes for my makeup but 3 drawers! This is seriously a very contradicted phrase. I need more space for my makeup stuffs, but honestly I don't use all of them! Do you gals have this problem? When did it get so much? I'm planning for a trip away, end of month, and I'm panicking what to take and what not. Argh..
- Makeup/Skincare brand beginning with 'A': Australis Cosmetics is very affordable. I own a palette of it for 5 years! Well, that was during my early years of not into makeup. The palette comes in 18 eyeshadow colours, with 4 blush tones and even lippies. It's so convenient for me at that time, to carry only ONE palette. Then, the unfortunate thing happen. My sisters saw it and told me to chuck it in the bin! Not sure if I did the right thing, since I splurge so much on makeup nowadays tee hee~ That action also introduced me to 'credit card' LoL

Awesome Girl Award
Oct 6, 2009
Freshelle tag me with this I Think You're An Awesome Girl Award! She is from Toronto, Canada. Isn't the internet wonderful, to connect strangers from far off places and be friends? I totally dig the internet and honestly, can't live without it (how am I gonna google for MU reviews???)
So with this I Think You're An Awesome Girl Award I have to tell you luvly readers 10 facts about me and then tag 10 blogs I love to read, so that the world will know about them! I have did a similar facts about moi here, so I'll add more! okidoki, let's get started:
- Crazy over chocolate. I must have some cocoa a day, to keep the smile on my face.
- I reside in Australia & Malaysia. As a financial planner, I work in both countries to oversea my clients and businesses.
- I have pets in both homes. It's really tough as I dream to have all my pets with me together and see how we all live together. Although I work hard for my career, I also use my babies as a motivator to earn more and keep them happy with lots of treats and toys! This kind of encouragement made my work more enjoyable, so I guess you know who is the boss now tee hee~
- I'm an Aries. But I only half believe in horoscope. I'm quite patience despite what they say about Aries being hot headed. I can be very angry but hardly as my tolerence level is quite high. So occasionaly I do have those volcanic emotion explosions lol
- I'm shoe size 8. It's so common that it is so hard to get my size! Most of the time when I inquire for size 8, it is always out of stock!
- I have kelloids 3 years ago. This is one of the main reason I am so into skincare and makeup now. I never was really into skincare and makeup (eventhough I do not have flawless skin) but when I developed some kelloids around my back and chest, I started to pay more attention to my appearance. Kelloids take ages to fade away and it always comes back, due to the body over produce collagen. I am using a sillicone gel Dermatix daily on my kelloids. My dermatologist suggest that I take steroid jabs! But I say no as I don't believe in shortcuts and it may harm me in the long run.
- I <3 Supernatural atm. I was following Heroes but then it gets too complicated for my simple mind. So now I am the Winchester boys follower!
- Huge fans of Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad. I got their dvd box sets to proove!
- My first concert is to Alanis Morissette in 1998 and my most recent concert I attended is Nickleback in 2006. I don't really go to concerts because I enjoy them more at home while doing house chores tee hee~
- I click on ads. Yup I am those people got suckered by clicking on ads, I can't help it! That's why I can spend many many long hours online without feeling bored because I just click and click.
Have a good week everyone! xoxo elleXOXO Anna Labels: about me, awards, tag | 21 kisses & hugs | Email This BlogThis! Share to X Share to Facebook

Elle's entourage
Oct 3, 2009
I tried to gather my pets together for a family potrait, but you know, moving animals, they are just so excited all the time, jumping up and down, it's truly hard to get them sit quietly together! So, I've managed to get my cat, Chiko, to pose for me (well, not really pose, coz he just luvs napping!).
He is 4 years old now, he is abit tad overweight, I reckon at 4kg. My 2 little chihuahuas are much smaller than the cat tee hee~ Chiko luvs his cat milk. I need to warm the milk for 12secs in the m/w as I keep it in the fridge. Chiko will wait at the m/w and when he hears the beep (indicate that it's done), he'll start meowing me to take it out from the microwave! He got a stripey tail and I got a 'hello kitty' bell for his collar. I need to give him a loud bell (not because I need to hear where he is) but so that he doesn't kill the birds. Chiko had brought me presents before (dead sparrows and pigeons on my kitchen floor)! Therefore, the bell is for the birds safety!
Chiko is a cross between Russian Blue & British Shorthair, so he got kinda a flat face and tends to overweight himself with dry food. I found out he is fond of chicken liver and detest any fish. He likes the dog's wet food, and the dogs like his cat food. Weird I know! I don't sleep with him, coz he purrs too loudly (like a motor prrrrrr) and my SO is allergic to cats >.< So I keep Chiko away from the bedroom.
Here is my other entourage:
Leo, is my 4 year old Chihuahua. I got him around the same time as Chiko. He is dark chocolate in colour, with medium coat.His favourite toy is this pink doll (bottom right). He has a defect, longish tougue, which he can't keep it inside his jaw, but he is so adorable! The vet said it will grow longer as he aged sob sob. Leo sometime thinks he is a cat, as he grew up together with Chiko. Leo will rub against my legs if he wants some luving tee hee~ and he got 2 eyebrows above his eyes aww~
Sandy, is my 1 year old Chihuahua. She is Leo's SO! She is fawn in colour, with black marking on her back. She luvs her yellow bumble bee toy! Sandy luvs Chiko and they are best pals!
Oscar is old, about 10+ years. He is an Australian Kelpie, so he is huge. He is a pussy, as he lets the tiny Leo and Sandy and Chiko to climb all over him. Don't get too close to Oscar, because the wag of his tail is painful! He is afraid of thunder and fireworks, so he got to come into the kitchen and hide himself under my dining table.
I keep them outside most of the time, but they can come inside all the time, especially during winter or when it's raining. It's alot of work to keep them, with feeding and cleaning and training. But it sure makes me happy to see them when I reach home and all of them waiting for me at the gate! Well, not waiting for me, but it's dinner time.
Let's welcome the latest member of my family, Dory the 2 months female pauppy pug!
My SO have always been a fan of boston terriers and pugs. So this is his little darling atm (not me >.<) and she just peed on the couch! I just joined http://www.pugslife.org/ to find out more about pugs and hope to meet other pugs lover! Come here, Dory!
ps: we named her after the fish in 'Finding Nemo' coz Dory got big eyes and look so adorable!

Swap and Haul
Oct 2, 2009
I met up with an MUA member whom I have been frequently corresponding over the last month, just yak about makeup and skincare. Ning was telling me how expensive mascaras were to her, as a student, and their lifespan is so short as well. Which I totally agreed because mine dries up extremely fast too, regardless how expensive or cheap they are. Therefore, I never say pass to sample mascaras from Lancome or Estee Lauder or Clinique, or any counters. Since I am always thick face to ask for samples, I have a few Hynose and DiorShow mascara samples, and decided to ask her to 'adopt' them, together with my old issues of Australian Bazaar magazines. I have already told her not to return me anything, but she is such a sweet gal to make it a swap!
So now I'm a proud owner of a new Coffret D'or lip gloss and a AHA BHA cleanser! It is so difficult to get these Asian brands in Australia (Ning is from Singapore).
Since I'm already in the CBD, I went to meet up with a dear friend who just came back from Japan. She ain't into skincare or makeup, but she knows I am soo into it. Tobbie gave me a lil parcel with Juju Aquamoist Essense (HG!) and Kose Hyaluronic Acid 22 sheet masks, direct from Japan!
I just don't have the heart to just take from friends, so I return my appreciation with a lunch and $30 (Yen1808) for her. It is truly a great bargain haul for me, considering that JUJU is selling $50 and Kose Masks is selling $35 here! Why everthing is overprice in Australia? Even our Ikea Sweedish meatballs cost much more, comparing to what cushycottage mentioned in her blog! I guess I'm just so far away from everywhere >.<XOXO Anna Labels: cleanser, haul, juju, kose, lip gloss, swap | 9 kisses & hugs | Email This BlogThis! Share to X Share to Facebook
