Victoria's Secret Bombshell Forever Review!! x Advert- Ellysage

What a Wednesday....
I had initially wanted to write about something really weird but personal today but I woke up really late. I'll save it for the next post since I don't have much time left today. Trust me, it took a lot of courage of me to finally decide to blog about it. hahaha. But i think it'll be pretty funny and interesting.

Anyway I have a really special news to share with you:) 
So excited! I can't wait.

Recently, i've received an email from Valiram Group, "Asia-Pacific's leading specialist retailer & brand builder in both downtown and travel retail environments" Basically, they're the one that brings in brands like TUMI, Charles & Keith, Dior, Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Sk-II and many more into Singapore.

Receiving an email from them with regards to sponsoring me an item from one of my favorite brands was like a dream. Can you guess what they've given me? hehehe

Victoria's Secret latest Bombshell Forever Perfume!!
Finally!!!! I've finally been contacted by Valiram regarding VS!! ARGHH! So happy I can die! I was literally jumping with joy after reading their email. My new VS product sits nicely with all my other collector's items. (missing my VS sandals and lipsticks)
The question pondering in your head must be, "Is Bombshell Forever the same as Bombshell?"
Well, they are! To some extend. The similarity between the two is that they're strongest at the beginning but becomes sweeter as it develops.

The only difference that I've noticed would be that Bombshell Forever seems to have fruiter notes to it. Which makes it a little easier on the nose for most people, especially those who didn't quite like how strong the original Bombshell smelled. Bombshell has more floral notes to it while Bombshell Forever is very fruity initially but mellows out into woodsy musk with hints of berries. 

So if you've always wanted to wear Bombshell but you're afraid that it may be a little too overpowering, Bombshell Forever will be perfect for you!! Both of which has scents that makes you think of a strong, sexy, confident women that we all would love to be!
My verdict? I personally prefer Bombshell Forever. The freshness of the fruitier notes in it suits my personality and lifestyle more. This is a huge statement for me to make since I've always been a fan of the original Bombshell. (it was my first and most fav VS perfume). Let's just say that I just think that Bombshell Forever is the PERFECT perfume for girls my age. The fruity berry notes in it keeps us feeling playful while the sensual hints reminds us of our transformation from girls to women. 

Even if you have never been a fan of perfumes with fruity hints, I think you should give this one a try. Its got this juicy, fruity, floral pop thats fresh and feminine but not overpowering. Really gives off a sophisticated pre-summer vibe. Definitely my favorite scent to wear for summer! hehehe

Also, the pink bottle looks really yummy don't you think?? Like this little pink candy gummy bear.
Once again, thank you Valiram for sponsoring me a bottle of my new found favorite perfume!! I don't have to worry about it getting sold out in stores! hehehehe. Oh yes and girls, trust me, newly released VS perfumes always get sold out fast in store. So you better get yours ASAP!!

Love doing this review. Especially for my all time favorite brand!! ARGHH!! SO HAPPY! :D

And that would be it for today!!
P.S. I recently visited Browhaus for Brow Resurrection!!! Can't wait to tell you how it goes! Why didn't I do it earlier? omg...

Till then, 
xoxo

Maybelline {ROCK THE ROCKET} x Mansion x Adverts- W.A.R, ilovecupcakes

It's been a crazy weekend for me guys. 
CRAZY, I have to emphasize. 

First for all, I need to clarify with everyone that Fai and I are alright now :) Up till today, I'm still getting lovely messages from all of you guys out there telling me to be strong and all. Thank you so much for that, it means a lot :) But, Fai and I are much better now. Every relationship goes through their own fair share of misunderstandings, arguments and doubts. We talked things out and he was really patient and kind to me. It would be a HUGE mistake if I let him go. 
I'm really really glad everything is alright now:) I LOVE YOU FAI <3 <3 <3 

And really, thank you to everyone who tried to make me feel better during the tough times. From my two beautiful Charlie Angels, to my Princess, to my GC family, to anyone and everyone who tried and including YOU! My readers <3

Anyway, here's what happened over the weekends :)

Friday, 26th July 2013
I haven't been able to do much photo shoots lately due to some prep for the filming which I can't talk about at all. So Im just gonna skip that part... Headed down to Zouk on Friday night for Maybelline's Rock The Rocket party!! It was for the launch of Maybelline's latest The Rocket Volume Express Mascara. 

It was my third time heading down for one of these launches. I clearly remember the very first one was for the Lashionista launch where I didn't have much knowledge of what Maybelline's vision was. It's almost a year and a half since that night and if someone were to ask me what Maybelline is like, I could tell him/her everything.

The opportunity to work for Maybelline as their ambassador was one of the best things that had happened to me. My blogging career kicked started perfectly with their aid since my very first assignment from Gushcloud was with regards to them. I can actually say that I am in love with this brand. I have always sworn by their mascaras and never allowed myself to try anything else even if a friend persuades me to. 

Thinking about how this partnership is gonna end soon really makes me sad. At the Rock The Rocket event, I was literally smiling like an idiot while a Maybelline video was playing. I was telling Fai how I think I embody the image that they were portraying in the video and was very proud indeed. hehehe.

I guess, I just wanna say.... 
Thank you Maybelline for picking me! 
For all the wonderful people that I've met along the way, for this amazing opportunity. I LOVE MAYBELLINE <3 <3 <3 

Let's get my pictures to do the talking ^^
At Maybelline's Rock The Rocket Party!!!!!
Wearing my favorite new top though it was pretty uncomfortable.
And I don't need no new plus one!!! I'VE GOT MY DEAR FAI <3
SHO CUTE!
Enjoyed the performances and the fashion show! And I absolutely LOVED the space theme.
Managed to bump into Lydia outside before Fai and I left for supper^^
And my OOTD for the night!!
Top: Editor's Market
Pants: H&M
Bag: Shesprees.com
Heels: Aldo
Earrings: Topshop
Headed all the way to town with Fai after to get my cravings satisfied: McWings all Wings!!!!!^^
That sums up my Friday night :)

Saturday, 27th July 2013
Did a shoot for Ellysage on Saturday afternoon and did some prep for the filming again!! After which, IT WAS PARTYYYYY TIME!!! WOOT WOOT!!
Charlie Angels (Jas and Raine) and I headed down to Mansion :)

We were talking about how crazy we used to get during the Helipad days. We would drink as much alcohol as we can even though we were high enough. But its all so different now... We would just drink about one or two glasses of Cranberry Vodka and that's it. And it isn't because our tummies can't take it anymore, we just choose not to. Well....... except this particular night. hahahaha
Well, being upset and all, I went a little overboard with the drinking and had more then what I would normally have. But I still know what I was doing of course. Really not the sort that ends-up-puking-at-the-side-of-the-road kinda girl. But it did make me end up camwhoring a hell lot. hahahahaha
Don't Jas look like an Angel here??? O.O
Wasn't pleased with something though... While Fai was djing, girls in obscene lingeries strutted out on stage!!!! YUP. I SAID GIRLS. Cause WOMEN wouldn't do something like these... I was like.... WTF is going on?!?! It was so gross.... Its funny how Fai and I had a convo about this just a few days ago too. How do girls actually find pleasure dressing and behaving in such inappropriate ways? This was so STOMP worthy. Had more pics but decided to be a little nicer and not expose the identity of the girls.
Oh and did you know?? Almost all of GC's bloggers were at Mansion too!!! Really happy to see so many familiar faces! Made the night even more enjoyable^^
ASYIHA <3 <3 <3
GC family!! Well, just a few here^^ Jian Hao, Asyiha, Kurt and Symone!!
My romper sponsored by the one and only http://www.ellysage.com/ <3
Another reason why I party where ever Fai goes to DJ is because....
No party actually feels like HOME without the PLUSH guys!!! (only managed to capture a shot of 2 of them, hahaha). Well basically, they probably share the same amount of connection to Helipad like I do since that's where I met them and got so used to seeing them around whenever I partied that going somewhere else like Zouk feels really foreign. From Helipad, to Avalon to Mansion, it just feels great having familiar faces around you.
Wayne and Daryl!
We left after a while to check Poptart out at Zouk.... And I am certain that I am no longer that Indie kid I used to think I was. hahahaha. I was really lost... everyone were singing and dancing happily but I just couldn't follow. hahaha. So we left after just a few minutes and went for SUPPER!!!!!^^
.
.
.
What else but Stingray of course?!?!?!
It was a crazy crazy night. Pretty emotional as well but everything ended off well, like REALLY SUPER WELL <3
So that's how I spent my weekend <3
Hope you had a good one too!!!

xoxo

Oh come on!!!! EVERYONE knows WeAreRubbish and their to-die-for apparels right?!?!

They're always the fastest in bringing you the latest trendiest items in town complete with absolutely tasteful styling. Feast on your eyes on their models too, they're gorgeous. hehehehe!! 

Here's what I picked out from their latest collection^^
Techno Vibrant Dress
I would be considered stupid if I didn't pick this gorgeous dress. It's such a unique piece that I highly doubt will be sold anywhere else. Whats so awesome about it is that its super versatile! I can see myself wearing this out on a brunch date, or even to a party at night.

Annabel Lace Insert Dress
The perfect cute little date dress awaits you!!! I love this ultra comfy aztec lace dress. It's baby-doll cutting is a must have this season. W.A.R suggests to pair it with a pair of sneakers and I couldn't agree more! 

Now Im gonna burst your bubble.
Unfortunately, the two dresses I've picked are all sold out!!! This shall teach you a lesson: Never ever delay your shopping with W.A.R! Their items get sold out fast! The best way to always be updated with their latest collections is to like and follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
Insta: @wearerubbish

Quick take a sneak peek at their next collection launching on Monday, 29th at 7PM!!
Afraid of shippings rates since you're sure to be getting loads of stuffs?? Well, W.A.R is kind enough is provide you with their flat shipping fee!!! More reasons to shop right? hehehe

I Love Cupcakes is definitely your one stop destination to finding anything and everything you can possibly think of!! They offer a HUGE range of apparels from pretty floral dresses and rompers to chic handbags and really cute Iphone covers too!! Its so difficult picking out my favorite items cause everything was so pretty and really tempting!! You're gonna be so spoilt for choice.

Here are my picks!^^
Navy Peplum Skirt
A dark colored peplum skirt will always comes in handy when mixing and matching your favorite apparels! This Navy Peplum Skirt is super versatile, it goes well with anything thus being a huge life saver for me!! Its perfect for school or even dinner dates or even for parties! Plus point? Its super stretchy and comfy^^

Mint Cardboard Tank 
This little crop top is one of the cutest things I've ever own! Firstly, I must compliment on its super pretty sea-foam/turquoise color! Ain't it pretty? The cut out details on the shoulders makes it even more unique! Looks great just the way i paired it with casual denim shorts. But it'll look way freaking awesome with a pair of flowly maxi skirt!

Tough Times X Ash <3 X 
SCHOOL OF MUSIC 

I thank everyone who's been tweeting to me and texting me about how to feel better and to stay strong and all. But it's so hard... I hardly have anything to say about how I feel now. I can't even find the right words. Im just questioning myself over and over again, "what did i do wrong?"... I think i was the best girlfriend that anyone could have asked for and I gave my all. I did everything I could to make him happy. Its not enough.. Im not saying he's all bad.. Just didn't treat me the way I should had been treated...

I feel so alone most of the time because I don't have time for anyone else but him. I don't have much friends. And even my most closest of friends are either attached or busy or just not with me all the time. I gave him so much but everything fell short and he only sees my flaws... Do i really deserve this at all? I've been taking it in for way too long and finally broke down tonight. Is it really time to finally be strong on my own once again or am I making a mistake...

Im so lost now cause I don't know who to talk to since he was the only one I ever had. I don't wanna make the wrong decision and go through it again... I've always believed in true love and relationships and stuff but now.... My heart has turned back into a stone. I don't know what to feel anymore. Even when I try, it hurts so much that I rather choose to just ignore and give up.

Why must this happen to me now? I thought I was the luckiest girl in world. I thought I was so happy that nothing can bring me down. Didn't expect the most important person in my life to crush it all. Im done waiting hours for you everyday. Im done waiting hours for you in a club alone. Im done going home pass 12midnight everyday just so I can spend more time with you. Im done spending so much money on cabs everyday. Im done. Im done. Im done. I feel so stupid now.. Why the fuck did i care so much? Why the hell did I put in so much effort. Why the hell did I bother to ignore every single guy that talks to me? Why did i bother to constantly make things easier for you whenever we meet?
.
.
.
My blog never felt so personal to me before. I realized that writing about how I truly feel does make me feel a hell lot better. Just letting everything out here.. And I guess it does keep my mind off stuffs too... So here's an update.

Met Ashleigh a few days back to catch up and stuff. Probably the last few times I'm smiling genuinely.
Oh yeah, I got a new cap and was told after that its actually some Zouk party night merch kinda thing so I basically wasted my money on something so "cheap" and readily available... 

Mandatory shot with the huge ass Minion. P.S. I don't find Minions cute at all. I don't get it. Maybe if it was pink and glittery and fluffy and furry, I'll go GAGA. But not when its the color of Ikea and lacks hair......So this was Ash's idea. hahahaha
Love you Ash :x Never fail to make me laugh.

And I just got back from School Of Music
It was such a honor to be invited over along with the other bloggers aka family for a dance class for this week's GCweekend!
Its the first ever ALL-IN-ONE music school! You wanna dance, play the drums or guitar or even be a DJ??? I really think SOM is the place to start. Who better to learn from then Singapore's very own award-winning recording artist and TV personality Sheikh Haikel?!?!?! Its his school and anything is possible there. Remember to dare to dream :) Be that one in a million that takes the risk to pursue what you want.
NOW.... gonna share the pics we took. Bare with me... there's a lot.

With my darlings, Tyler and Asyiha!
And Xavier of course! HAHAHA
Above 2 pics credit to http://www.tylerhikaru.com/ <3

Roseanne <3
Love love love Asyiha's new hair! She looks even more gorgeous!! NPNF did it right!!
GC family <3 <3 <3
Thank you Gushcloud for another great opportunity!!! 
AND SHEENA CAN REALLY DANCE.
Thank you to the one and only Sheikh Haikel for having us!!! It was such a pleasure! And yes guys, he's SUPER SUPER NICE AND HUMBLE AND SUPPORTIVE. All the more reasons to join School Of Music!!! I'm sure he'll gladly impart his skills and knowledge and experience to you! p.s. looks my my Vaunt pic. hahahahaha
My certificate!!! hehehehe
Also, thank you to the wonderful teacher/coach/choreographer, Hafeez Hassan. This guy really has the groove and can REALLY REALLY DANCE. We learnt a little bit of Lyrical Hip Hop from him and he was AMAZING. He's the Head of Dance, Faculty of Hip Hop. So keep an eye out for him at The School Of Music. Oh yes, I must add, he's super patient with us too!! Very important quality of a teacher.
And that's it!!! We will be back soon. Hopefully the other bloggers can join us next time too!! <3
