			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life is totally full of surprises sometimes.</p>
<p>
Other than spending a fair share of time in front of the com, <br />
I spent quite an amount of time running about as well &ndash; some times studio, sometimes meetings, sometimes events etc. <br />
And lazy me usually do a quick lunch or so at wherever I&rsquo;m at, <br />
and usually it will be just that without fruits (Either cuz I don&rsquo;t have the routine habit to have fruits after meals or the place doesn&rsquo;t sell cut fruits). </p>
<p>So it&rsquo;s pretty much serves-me-right that I somehow have problems going to the loo (yeah constipation you may say &ndash; they said it&rsquo;s a girl thing? Is it?? <br />
And&hellip;.right, another of my secrets out. boooo!), and my aunt got me a box of Prune Plus Essence from BRAND&rsquo;S&reg; InnerShine&reg;&nbsp; to drink at night (best consume at night and that makes it very convenient at all times!), <br />
and it&rsquo;s rich in dietary fibre to aid in my bowel movement and it helped after a while! </p>
<p>In anycase, why did I mention that Life&rsquo;s full of surprise because being a satisfied consumer of BRAND&rsquo;S&reg; InnerShine&reg; already, <br />
I was more than happy, and immediately agreed to take on this review on their new formula -<br />
<span style="color:#800080;"><strong>BRAND&#39;S&reg; InnerShine&reg; Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract! </strong></span></p>
<p>And YAY, I received a set about a week ago to try! </p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/IMG_9585.jpg" /><br />
The surprise gift!</p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/IMG_9588.jpg" /></p>
<p>I&rsquo;m in the early twenties now but not that far away from being in mid-twenties (ahhh It feels like I just celebrated 21st not long ago!!), <br />
and It&rsquo;s pretty frightening to know that age catches up in a fast pace, and I have done my research &#8211; <br />
<span style="color:#f00;"><strong>Do you know that the body loses collagen at a rate of 1.5% per annum starting at age 25, leaving to wrinkles &amp; a duller complexion? </strong></span></p>
<p>Actually to me, I think it has started already!!&nbsp;<br />
I used to be delighted when people said I looked older than my age (but that&rsquo;s when I was 17, feels good that I wasn&rsquo;t looking more matured), <br />
but now it feels pretty boohoo when people think that the bf (who is in his early 30s) looks like 27, and I look about the same age as him!! *pouts* </p>
<p>Grrr not fair, we girls spent so much money &amp; time to go for facials, and buy good skin care products, <br />
whereas the guys don&rsquo;t &ndash; except for either using tap water to wash or just ONE product to wash the hair, body and face. <br />
And in the end, the common consensus is that guys look more charismatic &amp; attractive as they age (as a matter of fact, their wrinkles and lines = more manly)!!! <br />
What about us girls&hellip;&hellip;Trust me, I know how you feel! </p>
<p><span style="color:#f00;"><strong>So really, it&rsquo;s never too early for us girls to take care of our youth!!</strong></span></p>
<p>Truth to be told, no doubt facials &amp; early sleeping time etc help to maintain our complexion, <br />
<span style="color:#f00;"><strong>I personally feel it&rsquo;s also the food intake and what&rsquo;s within us that causes the dull complexion, breakouts and all in fact.</strong></span><br />
Hurhur always stops me from eating those fried food, saying that it&#39;s those that cause the breakouts and bumps,<br />
and somehow or rather, you can feel your skin reflects the unhealthiness in the body.</p>
<p>I&#39;ve friends who already started drinking collagen drinks or taking collagen powder, and<br />
thankfully this came now, it urges me to kick start my beauty regime that I have always wanted.</p>

<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/IMG_9599.jpg" /></p>
<p>I&rsquo;m very thankful for having the privilege to try out<strong> BRAND&#39;S&reg; InnerShine&reg; Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract, </strong><br />
because my days could get pretty busy and sometimes those late nights do take a toll on me too. </p>
<p>Amidst all the busyness, this is very convenient and an oral beauty drink to help meet our beauty needs by <span style="color:#f00;"><strong>nourishing our skin from within!</strong></span><br />
<span style="color:#800080;"><strong>LET&rsquo;S BRING IT ON THE YOUTHFUL GLOW!!</strong></span></p>
<p>Like this, just pop one into your bag easily!<br />

<p>
A lil more about BRAND&#39;S&reg; InnerShine&reg; Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract that you might want to know:</p>
<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Helps the skin to better retain moisture, preventing it from having lackluster &amp; sallow skin.<br />
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Helps to work towards a radiant complexion<br />
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Grape Seed Extract enhances skin elasticity to keep it firm. Powerful health supplement that fight free radical oxidation &amp; UV radiation.<br />
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Contains powerful antioxidants &amp; anthocyanins from 5 types of premium berries: Blueberry, blackcurrant, chokeberry, acai berry and cranberry. (btw it&rsquo;s imposible to get your own mix from the supermarket!!)<br />
5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A bit on the technical terms, it is fortified with Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin Complexes (OPCS), <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; an active ingredient from grape seed extract that helps to strengthen collagen in the skin while slowing down the depletion process, stabilize the capillary walls of the skin, bringing back vitality, vigor and glow. <br />
<strong>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Grape seed extract has 50 times more potent than vitamin E and 20 times more potent than vitamin C!!<br />
</strong><span style="color:#f00;"><br />
<strong>It has no artificial flavouring, colouring or preservatives</strong>,</span> and i am very convinced already!<br />
Cuz these facts don&#39;t lie, andI like the rich, sweet and smooth taste of this product, and it&rsquo;s so easy to drink! <br />
Well, it&rsquo;s like a fruity juice and I like it best when it&rsquo;s chilled!</p>
<p>You probably have seen it around already and<strong> Xiao S</strong> is the new ambassador for it. <br />
She has been the spokesperson of BRAND&#39;S&reg; InnerShine&reg; Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract for a few years in Taiwan now. <br />
<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/Xiao_S_Visual_IBGE.jpg" style="width: 591px; height: 721px;" /><br />
Pretty! </p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s me and my new found beauty drink! </p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/IMG_9793-640x4371.jpg" style="width: 898px; height: 613px;" /><br />
 Got inspired by Xiao S photo, decided to try googling for fun and found this site that adds sparkles for me on my picture! Geez, coolbeans! :p<br />
But apparently, it&#39;s a trial so the file size is pretty small, hence pardon the pixelated image, more pics below! <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

It&#39;s time to bring you more styles and here are some gorgeous pieces that I recently received! </p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/2102121IIMG_9583.jpg" /> <img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/2102121IIMG_9577.jpg" /><br />
1. you might have already seen this piece from my previous post, and yes!! I am madly in love with this maxi dress from <a href="http://frockettes.com/" target="_blank">Frockettes</a>!<br />
Love the prints, love the tube cut, and the design at the front. Simply gorgeous.</p>
<p>
<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/2102121IIMG_0562.jpg" />&nbsp;<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/2102121IMG_0557.jpg" /> <br />
2. Something different &amp; more unique, this shrug from<a href="http://frockettes.com/" target="_blank"> Frockettes</a> can be worn loose like a cardigan or tie like a kimono outer piece!<br />
I matched it with my own leggings, but i think it looks good with a pair of shorts too.</p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/2102121IIMG_0847.jpg" /> <img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/2102121IIMG_0837.jpg" /><br />
3. This pretty piece from <a href="http://yixiaodian.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">DOT</a> has a very japanese demure feel, especially the prints at the bottom part, looking elegant!<br />
I think the peach colour top really complements the prints, and yes, i bet you like the structured fit too. <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/2102121IIMG_0832.jpg" /> <img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/2102121IIMG_0816.jpg" /><br />
4. Summer summer summer, pleats are in fact in the trend if you realised,<br />
this sweet piece from<a href="http://yixiaodian.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> DOT</a> comes in many different colours but I like the yellow shade of this. Definitely a great pick for the weekends!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hooray Folks! Let&#39;s spread our hands out and welcome the weekends here again,<br />
and this time you might/might not be looking to head out for a good weekend brunch, <br />
but I&#39;ll still share a new place that I have recently explored nonetheless! teehee. :p</p>
<p>Last Sunday I was craving for an English breakfast brunch and decided to try Ardent&#39;s Cafe Bar @ Neil Road.<br />
Heard raves about it, even for their dinner sets, and seen quite a bit pictures of their brunch sets around in fact.<br />
Yay! Finally got to try it! I&#39;m in love with their rustic yet modernized shophouse area, somehow like a lil cottage in the woods.<br />
And you can pretty much locate it while driving/walking down the road.</p>
<p>For those who drive, there are parallel lots carpark opposite the cafe! <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>LOVE EGGS BENEDICT!<br />
Actually, most of the pictures i saw circulating were the eggs benedict,<br />
so i reckon it shall be the must-have there and both hurhur plus myself ordered two sets of different benedicts!</p>
<p>While waiting for our food..<br />
<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/1702121IMG_1556.jpg" /> <img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/1702121IMG_1561.jpg" /></p>

<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/1702121IMG_1587.jpg" /><br />
the old-school casio watches- we both agreed that they are our most lasting watches outta all!</p>

<p>We ordered the Eggs Montreal (smoked salmon) + Eggs Blackstone and swopped one each to try.<br />
Imma fan of Grilled Bacon &amp; Smoked Salmon but I have to say the Eggs Montreal has the better taste overall.<br />
The hollandaise sauce is a lil more towards the savoury side, so if you prefer that, you would have to try it! <br />
For fans of smoked salmon, you probably would like the Eggs Montreal as much as i do. <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>As for the Eggs Blackstone, the grilled bacon was really cripsy and grilled to perfection,<br />
but somehow it overpowers the overall egg taste for me, in which i could only taste the bacon.<br />
We also had a cuppa latte, and it was pretty good!<br />

I believe you have seen many pictures around on facebook or so on how each of us spent our Valentine&#39;s Day,<br />
and here&#39;s how I spent mine!</p>
<p>It was a simple affair this year but a special one because hurhur decided to whip up a good meal, a fushion cuisine &#8211; western with chinese. <br />
Was indeed an enjoyable and quiet night though we ate around 9pm cuz we both had stuff on for the day. <br />
Am thankful for that heart-warming and lovely meal, especially when he had a full day of work too. &lt;3</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was a face model last week filming for Loreal Paris Beauty Backstage Valentine&#39;s Series.<br />
Shoot started as early as 9am in the morning at the studio, and thanks to the hardworking team, they were there even earlier to prepare the set up!<br />
We started fimling shortly after I had some final touches done to the hair and base and this is a video that focuses on two Valentine&#39;s Day look, <br />
the day &amp; night look.<br />
In fact, these looks can be pretty useful for our normal days out so i think it might be helpful to share the vid with you guys!<br />
Besides that, I love the new range of colours &#8211; especially the eyeshadow of Loreal&#39;s too! </p>
<p>It&#39;s just a quick 5 minutes plus video but in fact, can you believe it that we took like 6 hours to film it?!! <br />
Kudos to the Loreal team and camwerks, they did a good job directing and editing the clip respectively,<br />
in which the vid has its make up methods &amp; pdts used shown precisely, definitely effortlessly easy to learn the looks! </p>
<p>
Pretty interesting one i must say, as I got to know the celebrity make-up artist Rick Yang, and he actually shared some tips and tricks in the Loreal Beauty Vid.<br />
Thanks to him, I also stole some useful tips from him on that actual day too! ;p</p>
<p>More peeks behind the scenes!<br />

The hair that was originally done up to use for the video, but it was pretty messy and inconvenient for the filming, <br />
so hair was changed and you can see it in the pics below or in the vid! <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lil backdated, but here&#39;s the Love Bonito gang at Rach&#39;s place for sukiyaki!<br />
How i love these house parties and of course, rach&#39;s love nest and the entire LB gang.</p>
<p>It&#39;s an immediate YES whenever Rach invites me to her place for Sukiyaki that her mom will prepare,<br />
cuz the homemade soup is as good as what you can get in Japanese restaurants and dipping the beef slices in the tasty soup + raw egg just completes the meal satisfyingly! <br />
i&#39;m so gonna learn to cook the soup base, it&#39;s my favourite outta all kinds of soup. heh.<br />
Please share with me if you have any good and recommended sukiyaki recipes!!</p>

<p>May you enjoy this special day be it with your partner, friends or family.<br />
Love is in the air &lt;3</p>
<p>
Recently I received some LOVE by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/BakedbyLace" target="_blank">Baked by Lace</a>, and I got hold of a box of pretty cupcakes during one weekend.<br />
I must say Lace (the passionate &amp; friendly owner) gets me yearning for more every time and this time, lucky me got to try out more different flavours,<br />
and my bet would be on the Salted Caramel &amp; Red Velvet. Simply heavenly and she definitely makes <strong>one of the best cupcakes</strong> around!</p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1812IMG_1316.jpg" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1812IMG_1324.jpg" /> <br />
Da boom! Sea Salt Caramel cuppy cakes!</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: rgb(238, 130, 238);"><span class="st">&hearts;<br />
</span></span></span><br />
I met up with the girls to pass them the Pink Love Boxes during the past week, and I hope you ladies love it!<br />
Didn&#39;t manage to take photos of all 8 ladies, but thanks for the support nonetheless! <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> <br />
Will try to share more goodies with you all!</p>

<p>I had a belated CNY steamboat with the poly gang at dear Sharon&#39;s place, <br />
and thanks to her great hospitality and for opening up her place, we had a feast &amp; rounds of Ban-Luck which I got my first set of &quot;A,A&quot; for this entire CNY. heh,<br />
Celebrated her birthday as well, and silly me got mistaken that she loves banana, and got her one of the best banana chocolate tasting cakes in my opinion- from Old School Delights @ Upper Thomson Road,<br />
and in the end banana turns out to her her least favourite food of all. heh <br />
Sorry Sharon! Will get you one of the bestest chocolate strawberry cakes next time! ;p</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The past week has been pretty eventful and fulfilling in fact, and like I always feel &amp; say, it&#39;s good to be busy!<br />
Had a flea at NUS, two full days of shoot, and another was a lunch meeting with the Nuffies &amp; Ming, who brought us to SICC (Island) for a late lunch.<br />
Too bad I had a lunch prior to that, and was too full to try anything at the club, but it seemed like SICC has pretty good food there!<br />
<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/IMG_1393.jpg" /><br />
Jayne, Gabby, Nicole, myself, Ming &amp; Vel.</p>
<p>Thanks to Jayne &amp; Gabby, as well as Amanda, Mel, Clara for being such good managers to us, and for being patience to me too, couldn&#39;t ask for more! <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

<p>Explored a new Japanese restaurant over the past week at Liang Court basement. Yayoiken, and their main specialty would probably be the fried stuff,<br />
such as the Tonkatsu related dishes. We ordered different sets each and had a taste of each of our sets, and I think the Tonkatsu &amp; Karaage were probably the best outta the lot!</p>

<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/IMG_1237.jpg" /><br />
Tried the Karaage (Japanese fried chicken) and was pretty satisfied with it, would give it a 7/10 apples! <br />

Did the styling for the shoot, as well as editing the photos, designing the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/shopklarra" target="_blank">previews</a>. Spent a long while doing all of those up, and i&#39;m soo glad of my work!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
&nbsp;Today I&rsquo;m gonna introduce to you something that I&rsquo;ve been hooked on recently, and it&rsquo;s sooo addictive! <br />
It&rsquo;s called FEECHA.&nbsp;  (Yeah, it&rsquo;s like &ldquo;Featured&rdquo; pronounced in a slang!!)</p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121feechamain1.jpg" style="width: 797px; height: 544px;" /></p>
<p>If you have never heard about it, you are totally missing out on all the fun! <br />
It&rsquo;s like the next IN thing on the social media platforms and I didn&rsquo;t know I was missing out on all those until someone introduced it to me a few days ago.<br />
But better late than never, I already got in on my phone since then, and no wonder my batt goes dead even faster for the past few days!<br />
Facebooker, twitterers, google plusers, instagramers, (Right, I&rsquo;m one of those who has an account with these four!!), <br />
or even peeps who wants to jump on the bandwagon and move right in front, you might want to get the ball rolling with Feecha because you can simply get <br />
a combination of these four social platforms and even more! Bet you will get addicted to it as well! :p </p>
<p>So to strangers of Feecha, READ ON! <br />
<span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="color: rgb(221, 160, 221);"><strong></p>
<p>1. WHAT IS FEECHA?</strong></span></span><br />
<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121feechamain5.jpg" style="width: 844px; height: 576px;" /><br />
 Feecha is basically this geo-blogging app for Iphones (Yay!! Iphone rocks!, but&hellip;fret not, android version is coming soon so I&rsquo;ve heard). <br />
<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>You just have to download from app store, sign up an account in the app within like 10 seconds, and that&rsquo;s it, you are good to do some postings! </strong></span></span><br />
What&rsquo;s special is that each and every posting will be pinned to a location on the map, and it creates a better chance for interaction with peeps who are out of your social circle even.<br />
What I like about it is that it allows us to post photos or even Videos too! </p>
<p> After exploring the app for these few days, though Feecha is pretty new, <span style="color:#f00;"><strong> yet it&rsquo;s a very powerful social interactive platform! </strong></span><br />
Will tell you more below and you might not want to read on cuz you don&rsquo;t wanna miss out an awesome piece of news in this post too.. Geez!</p>
<p><span style="font-size:24px;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(221, 160, 221);"><br />
2.&nbsp; FOLLOW PEEPS &amp; FOLLOW&hellip;&hellip;..INTERESTS</span></strong></span><br />
Well, similar to the social platforms, one of the main ways why Feecha is fun is that &#8211; You can start following people you want (friends, family, relatives or <span style="color:#f00;"><strong>peeps you admire/have a crush on</strong></span>), <br />
or allowing people to follow you, and be <span style="color:#f00;"><strong>instantly</strong></span> updated with their doings via the news feeds!!</p>
<p>Apart from following people, you can follow INTERESTS! <br />
<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121IMG_8794.jpg" style="width: 832px; height: 568px;" /></p>
<p>The picture says it all and yes, this is how it will look like in your account in the app:<br />
<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121feecha_screens_01copy.jpg" style="width: 351px; height: 571px;" /> <img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121photo.jpg" style="width: 372px; height: 556px;" /></p>
<p>  You can see three fills, and Feecha makes sure you don&rsquo;t fill lonely at first looking at no feeds cuz you are new, and had already included feecha_admin &amp; some default interest categories! (<br />
I know what you are thinking!! <br />
Must be thinking how come I&rsquo;m typing word of interests like Chio, fail, etc when I don&rsquo;t really use/say them most of the time!!) I must say they configured a few interests that the majority likes&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;eg. Food, fashion, sale!! :p<br />
  So with the location aspect complimenting the the interest aspect, how it works is that &#8211; if you are following the interest &ldquo;SALE&rdquo;,&nbsp; Feecha will detect your location,<br />
and show you news feeds of random people who posted anything about &ldquo;SALE&rdquo; near your area!!!</p>
<p>How cool is that!! </p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: 24px;"><span style="color: rgb(221, 160, 221);"><strong>3. POSTING ONTO FEECHA!  <br />
</strong></span></span>How to work with feecha is simple! Here&rsquo;s one such example of mine over last weekend!<span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="color: rgb(221, 160, 221);"><strong><br />
</strong></span></span><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121feecha4copy.jpg" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#f00;"><strong><br />
I think it&rsquo;s really easy to meet/know friends at Feecha cuz of it&rsquo;s unique location feature! </strong></span><br />
Like this above feecha I posted, I saw another Feecha beside me posted by a user called Adeline, and I was totally updated with what&rsquo;s happening around the area! One word- Coolbeans.<br />
And oh yes, you can share/like the Feecha posts too.<br />
<strong><span style="color:#dda0dd;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"></p>
<p>4. WHY FEECHA?</span></span></strong><br />
<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121IMG_8798copy.jpg" style="width: 838px; height: 572px;" /><br />
<span style="color:#f00;"><strong><br />
  No doubts it&rsquo;s the location aspect of this app that is unique and awesome!    </p>
<p></strong></span><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121IMG_8156.jpg" style="width: 418px; height: 625px;" /></p>
<p>These orange icons are Feechas!<br />
So the bigger it is at that particular area, the more people are putting feechas at that area &ndash; which also means it must be an EXCITING AREA!! <br />
Definitely a good way to let us know where are the hot spots and what are happening at those spots!  Or why not we just use the above location &amp; interest &ldquo;SALE&rdquo; example&hellip;<br />
<span style="color:#0000cd;"><em>Imagine you are pissed off or girls having PMS and in need for some retail theraphy on a particular day, eg. The weekend. <br />
How awesome is that when you can get hold of instant news from random people if they post about &ldquo;SALE&rdquo; around your location!! Perfectttttttttt news!   <br />
PS.: You can also comment more on the person&rsquo;s post asking for more details, and in the end, make a new friend!!<strong> <br />
Or even&hellip; get to know your future partner through Feecha!! :p</strong>  </em></span><br />
<span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="color: rgb(221, 160, 221);"><strong><br />
5. ADD ME&hellip;&hellip; @BEATRICESAYS! </strong></span></span><br />

<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121fphoto.jpg" style="width: 363px; height: 545px;" />&nbsp; <a href="http://www.feecha.com/Beatricesays/989596" target="_blank"><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb1002121fphoto1.jpg" style="width: 363px; height: 542px;" /></a><br />
<span style="color:#000;">My feecha-feeds and the entered page.</span><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> If you can&#39;t see clearly, click on that shot to see!</span></strong></p>
<p>CRAZY &amp; CLASSIC! And I was with Caleen and all for dinner, and the car was parked at the last lot of the row (as i remembered when I stepped out of the car.)<br />
And we came back to get the car, we were so shocked to see one appearing beside us, parked at an interesting position overlooking all the cars.. #Likeaboss</p>
<p>if you are on Feecha with me, you will definitely know that this happened at Holland Village around 9pm yesterday!! (thanks to the location aspect!)</p>

and how I wished I had more sets to give away!! <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>Have sent an email to the 8 of you girls for details of the collection this week before Valentine&#39;s Day,<br />
so do check your emails ladies! <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>

<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb07121vdaydinnerbanner.jpg" style="width: 854px; height: 216px;" /></p>
<p>Today&#39;s post will introduce you the various products I used to create The Valentine&#39;s Dinner Look!<br />
I bet this occasion, be it celebrating it in advance, on the day or belated,<br />
a good dinner, unpretentious and enjoying special set menu (<em>yeah unfortunately, that&#39;s also when restaurants jack up prices!!</em>) is definitely how most of us will spend it!</p>
<p>I have gotten a set of make up from <a href="http://smoochiezz.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:16px;">Smoochiezz</span></a> to do up this entire look, and here&#39;re what I used:</p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/feb020212IMG_9565.jpg" /><br />
Love the extensive range of make up and its colours that they have, <br />
and these make up kits are affordable and easily purchased at their website!</p>
<p>From clockwise direction:<br />
1. NYX 10 Colour Eyeshadow Palette &#8211; The Runway Collection, ESP10C04 CATWALK Shade<br />
2. NYX Eyeshadow &#8211; Triple Eye Shadows for Sexy Eyes, TS11 ORANGE/GOLDEN ORANGE/PEACH Shade<br />
<span style="color:#dda0dd;"><em>Used a mixture of the above to blend in a natural shade of eyeshadow on the eye lids</em></span><br />
3. M.A.C Blusher &#8211; PEACHYKEEN Shade<br />
<span style="color:#dda0dd;"><em>For a natural colour on the cheeks!</em></span><br />
4. NYX Eyeshadow Base &#8211; ESB03<br />
<span style="color:#dda0dd;"><em>Love the smooth texture of this, apply before the eyeshadow for long lasting effect and can be used as concealer too!</em></span><br />
5. NYX Super Skinny Marker Eyeliner &#8211; SSEM01 CARBON BLACK Shade<br />
<span style="color:#dda0dd;"><em>Nuff said.</em></span><br />
6. NYX Shine Eyeliner &#8211; SL08 PLATINUM Shade<br />
<span style="color:#dda0dd;"><em>Lining the bottom of the eye, and especially the inner corner of the eyes, helps to widen out &amp; brighten up your eyes!</em></span><br />
7. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream &#8211; SMLC01 AMSTERDAM Shade<br />
<span style="color:#dda0dd;"><em>No Angeline Jolie&#39;s lips, but at least a stunning distinctive loud shade of colour to compliment the natural colours overall!<br />
Maybe it does call out for a passionate &quot;kiss me&quot; to your partner! teehee :p</em></span></p>
<p>
I don&#39;t exactly use Red lipstick though I really really love the look of it and how it creates a different kind of beauty feel after that.<br />
Cuz I think the red lip kinda have a stronger appeal, calls out for a lil more attention, in a positive way of course but mainly suitable for events or special occasions than usual daily look in my opinion.<br />
But Valentine&#39;s Day is supposed to be romantic and that&#39;s a PERFECT occasion to put on your red lippie!!</p>
<p>And <strong>here&#39;s the final look</strong>!! Love good hair days which the curls stay as well! <br />
Time to bring out the narcissism!! :p</p>

Glam it up with a necklave and heels and it&#39;s good for a corporate look,<br />
or wear it simple with pumps and minimal accessories for a casual weekend out! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a shoot two days ago and it&#39;s for a hair &amp; beauty magazine that is debuting next month, so exciting! <br />
Whenever there&#39;s hair that matters, you know Salon Vim is definitely one the trusted ones! <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So I had to report early to Salon Vim @ 313 somerset for hair,<br />
and thanks to Gary for these lovely curls which i can never do it myself!!<br />
<img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/020212IMG_1134.jpg" /><br />
Here&#39;s a bare-&amp;-looking-tired face at the Salon in the morning, and make up would be next.</p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/020212IMG_1136.jpg" /><br />
The two friendly girls from the magazine!</p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/020212IMG_1133.jpg" /> <img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/020212020212IMG_1150.jpg" /><br />
I&#39;m not really sure why Gary is holding the nescafe bottle, super hilarious. i think it was cuz he walked passed and was asked for a shot!<br />
That&#39;s the make up artist that beautified me on the right pic. <img src='http://www.beatricetan.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br />
Here&#39;s me feeling LIKE-A-BOSS!! :p</p>
<p><img src="http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss64/pppinkkk1/pics%20of%202012/020212IMG_1145.jpg" /></p>
<p>There were four locations for the shoot, together with four outfits, and it was pretty fun albeit the tiredness, <br />
but I had one awesome picnic scene which they prepared really pretty (and i heard very tasty) cupcakes from Maramalade Pantry,<br />
as well as lovely balloons on set! <br />
It was a pity I didn&#39;t manage to take any picture of that because we had to do it fast to miss the rain.<br />
More peeks below!</p>

My trusted stylist, John came with us on set too! <br />
He was put on this task pretty last minute and kinda wore the wrong outfit especially with clients involved, teehee,<br />
was uber hilarious when he told me about it (i didn&#39;t really notice it anyway).. what&#39;s with CREAMSODA?! </p>
