The Frivolous Haul

By retail_therapy · November 6, 2009 · 14 Comments · 142 Views

Hi,

Why frivolous?  Because these are stuff which are totally random, and totally unnecessary but oh so cute so I had to get 'em.

I spent more than 1 hour in a stationery store today.  (At Prologue, 4th floor, ION, if you are wondering).  I bought pencils, notebooks, stickers and stuff.  I am not one to use a diary, cos I stop planning my days, like maybe 3 or 4 days into the New Year, and then the poor diary gets neglected and forgotten.  I have shelves of notebooks from all over the place unused, sealed and brand new simply because I lurve collecting them.  I have 3 or 4 pencil cases filled to the brim with pens, pencils (I have a fetish for mechanical pencils).

So anyway, here are the little stuff I bought:  a black notebook, freebie hanger paper clip, pencil with ice cream motif from kikki.K at ION basement.

Because it is kind of plain, so my cousin got some alphabet stickers, and we started decorating away:

and I got carried away:

Yup.... I am silly like that.

And since we were at ION.  I decided to take the plunge and bought the Sephora brow gel thingy, though I had said it was too shimmery.  But what the heck. I got mine in the lighter shade.

To get a closer look at my fluffy hairy brows, and yes, I only applied (my new Givenchy) mascara to my lower lashes.  I am lazy that way.

See how the mascara is totally lengthening and volumising my non-existent lower lashes? NARS Laguna and Sin on the cheeks.  YSL RV No 1 on lips.

Whooo hooo to thick fluffy brows!!  This is so great when I am keeping the rest of my eyes and face quite natural and bare.

Do you like hairy brows??  :)  Share!

Thanks for reading.

Oh i liked it! And I think you look great with those "blonde" brows. Your hazelnut eye colour goes so well with those brows too!!..but it might be off when your hair is way darker..You second last pic, you almost looked like Sammi Cheng-my fav hong kong actress!!! haha! Do you have any option of going a shade lighter?

I like my hair jet black, but I like my brows pale... am I nuts? Haha. I like how clashing they are.... but I think I can't have too dark brows cos I am kind of fair, and I can't have colored hair cos my hair will look so limp and I will look too washed out. Hmmmm.... yea.. lotsa of 'logic' and reasoning going on. Haha. Actually my brows aren't usually so 'thick' when I go for my trim next week, the hairs will be shorter and the shape more defined, so I may not be able to pull off this look already.....
Sammi has really nice strong brows, hasn't she? I remember she having very red fierce brows, and she was my 'brow idol' during my school days.

you only put mascara on your lower lashes?! that's so cute!

I like my brows thick, i can't have it any other way! just doesn't suit my face. Or maybe its just me. I don't get them trimmed professionally anymore because I never like how they end up.

were the alphabet stickers from kikki too?

@peachesandsha stickers, notebook all from Prologue (actually it's just Popular poshed up)

Cos I can't be bothered to curl my upper lashes, and I would just throw on false lashes if I want big eyes or going for the full works, but I do want to try out my new mascara, hence applying them on only the lower lashes as a lazy way out.

You were at ION today? I was there too around the evening-night time, walked by Prologue as well. haha.
And the brows look great! I haven't checked out the Sephora brow gels, do they come in more shades as compared to the MAC ones? I like brow gels but MAC has so little shades it makes me scared to color my hair else I can't find a brow gel shade to match.

sara - the Sephora brow gels come in ONLY 2 shades! Sad I want to try Mink when MAC releases them again (thanks to cocomotion for the info!) cos it is non-shimmery. Hmmmm I was roaming around ION around 8 ish til about 10 before ending up at BK Liat Towers to do the stickers part.
