now that the year is coming to an end, i have come up with a list of all the NEW beauty items i have tried in the whole of 2010.

my favourite:

cosmetic item - ettusais duo foundation
this is honestly a dream come true for me cus i tend to get shiny around the T-zone quite easily. the ettusais duo foundation has 1/3 shine prevention powder, 2/3 foundation. the shine prevention powder is used first around your T-zone, under the foundation, the colourless powder helps to mattify and absorb excess sebum.



skincare item - ettusais lip essence deep moist
okay, i cheat, this is not exactly a skincare item but i havent been really adventurous with my skincare since ive got sensitive skin and i cant change products so often. all of you know that the ettusais lip essence is one of my favourite ettusais products ever, but this limited edition version is much more moisturising. i love!



hair product - prosynergy shampoo
frizzy hair woes? not only does the sun damage your hair, the process of glycation ages the hair and cause those frizzies too. this is the only product in the market that stops the aging of hair right from the root and it smell absolutely DIVINE.



hair styling product: redken velvet gelatine
ever since i cut my hair, i havent touched it since and it has been growing out, from a bob to a long bob now. it's sort of in a limbo between long and short, aka the most annoying hair length ever. i use this before blowdrying and it gives my hair a nice poofy boost and it instantly saves the day.



look - red lips
i love a red lippie! it dresses up your whole look easily without even trying. i wear this look a lot with my short do, its a fab combi. the key to a nice red pout is to line your lips (the whole lip) first, with a lip liner before applying your lippie. lipstick bleeding is a major make-up faux pas. remember, the less emollient, the longer your lip colour is going to stay.
i like ettusais lip liner in red and lipstick in RD1, it lip liner glides on easily and the lippie does not dry out my lips.





let me know the favourite items you have tried this year! (:

just so you know:
It takes 7 seconds for food to pass from mouth to stomach.
A human hair can hold 3kg.
The length of a penis is 3 times the length of the thumb.
The femur is as hard as concrete.
A woman's heart beats faster then a man's.
Women blink 2x as much as men.
We use 300 muscles just to keep our balance when we stand.
The woman has read this entire text. The man is still looking at his thumb.

my mom is watching some never-ending taiwan drama on the telly and im so amused by the dramatic sound effects after someone says something mildly "threatening". there's about 5 orchestrated drum rolls per minute of dialogue.

also, i think ive found what makes never-ending dramas, never-ending. first, revive someone from the "dead" and cast her as the twin sister. second, throw someone between the lines of rich and poor a few times for some drama. third, let someone who's supposed to die, miraculously live for a long time. what drama? this is as good as a soap opera.

hope yours was fabulous too! (:

i just realised that i havent done my wednesday liberations for a quite a while ever since i got swamped with work. i cant even think of a wednesday want right now actually. i have nothing on my christmas wishlist. zero, nada, zilch.

im probably the only one who feels this way, but im not looking forward to christmas this year actually. everyone is leaving and it just doesnt feel the same anymore. in fact, i wish that 2010 could last for as long as possible. we have all slipped into such a comfortable routine and now everything has got to change. i hate change.

weekend bliss

ive been sleeping like a regular person these days. 1am is regular to me considering i can only fall asleep after 3am usually. it must be the heaping amount of work i have that's forcing me to retire to bed earlier. (which also means i have to wake up earlier) i no longer have my plate full, its practically overflowing and sometimes i forget that im not a robot. which can get quite upsetting because i go crazy when my to-do list passes the 10th undone item mark and i feel that there is so much more i can do/ how much faster i can actually work if i skipped eating/sleeping/going to the toilet altogether. i plan to complete all my stories by friday and i pray for speedy email replies. amen.

when i was younger, i wanted to be so many things. a superstar, a magician, an author, a gypsy (because i wanted to live in a caravan), a singer, a princess, and the list goes on. now, i just want to be younger. to dream all the big things i want to be, and not have the world tell me i can never be.

current choon on replay:

something about the way they speak these words out loud. like reading a prose from an old beaten book, on a hammock by the porch beneath the blazing sun.
close your eyes, do you see it like i do?

listen to the wind, it's howling in your head.
i got scared thinking about missing you.
there in the dark, i couldnt make out the words.
diamond dreams in crystal cases.
i was told by a million voices.
but i only trust you.

thanks for your responses guys!keep them coming! im excited to share with all of you all the nice stuff i have lined up. this few weeks have been supremely busy i dont even have time for my wednesday liberations. ): anyway, here's something random my colleague sent:

im a dinosaur all the way.

hi guys, i have some exciting news for advertisers. as you all know, i hardly take up advertorials because im really busy with work and have no time to do up posts. of course unless you catch me at a good time! (; i'll be doing a blog revamp and having another sidebar for sponsors and advertisers. and the best part? it's specially for shops wanting to reach out to an international audience! i'll be leaving (most prob to sydney) early part of next year so im taking in advertorial slots only for next year 2011 jan onwards. limited slots available per month, and i will only pick those that i really like and extra plus points if you can offer something to my readers so that it's a win-win situation for all! i would love to hear about the goodies you have for all of us here at ccchristine. feel free to drop me an email if you'd like to schedule something for next year! xx (:

ps - the holiday spirit is getting to me and i have decided to hold a major christmas giveaway (including those who live outside of singapore). keep my name on your address bar, more details soon!

okay, so i have narrowed my options to wordpress, typepad or posterous. so far im leaning towards wordpress cus of it's anti-spam comments powered by akismet. i have also set up an account with wordpress already because im kiasu like that. i wanted to pick the blog address i have always wanted before i had ccchristine.blogspot. my first choice had and has always been, christineyeo.host TAKEN, christineee.host ALSO TAKEN, so i settled for ccchristine. and now over at wordpress, it's the same game all over again. oh well.

im thinking of moving. blogger will be the death of me.

i love this oldspice spoof:

i will save up for this pair of chanel shades:



wednesdays of love,will, want.
