It may be impossible, but we shouldn't stop striving.

Milly's Eyelash Extensions

7/30/2016

 
You can read more about their services on their website. Pertaining to this post, the information about Milly's services are here:
Milly's Eyelash extensions

Outlet: Milly's Suntec City Mall
Date Visited: 30th July 2016 (Saturday, made the appointment on Friday)
Service: Single Lash - Royal Furlash
Lash Type (how they position/ glue the lashes): Cute (safest option according to them)
Length: 8mm and 10mm alternate
Total time: 1hr 40 mins (5pm - 6.40pm) 

Their website says single lashes take 60 to 75 minutes. I'll explain later.

So anyway. One very important thing to remember at ANY salon is that you need to be super sure about what you want. It's the third time I'm at Milly's for eyelash extension. Compared to the beauty salon SKiNN (Djitsun Mall) I was previously at, the lashes are much softer and comfortable. 

Don't be afraid to ask for suggestions if you need to, or if you have no idea what you want. After all, they see the products / services all the time. 

But also be equally unafraid of telling them no if it's NOT what you want. 
Picture
Pardon the lighting. The eyelash area in Milly's (suntec) is dimly lit, with the lamps your consultant (Milly calls them staff) shine on your face. So the photo has well, bad lighting. And i had to quickly and secretly snap the photo while lying down haha. 

​I chose the cute type of positioning the lashes because according to the staff at the counter, it's the safest option, and allows your eyes to look bigger :/ ​

Types of "patterns" - Much like how you would choose the patterns for falsies.
Picture
It pretty much depends on how you want to look, and some of these lash types means you need a certain length for your extensions. The longer it is, the more cumbersome to wear. Beauty requires effort and pain and money. 

Back to why this session lasted a good 30 mins more than their expected time. 
The second time i was at Milly's, i realised that the staff did something great - She didn't put the extensions for all my lashes, because the natural lashes closest to the insides of my eyes tend to point downwards. The previous times when all my lashes were extended, the ones on the inside of my eyes irritated my vision. Today i told Anna not to extend all the lashes. The photograph above shows how it looks the first time she finished. Your eyes are taped and all, so there wasn't a chance I could have found out before that I wasn't perfectly happy with it. 

She then had to add a few more lashes on the inside :) 
Picture
No full-on taping and all that the second time, and when I opened my eyes the top extension stuck to the bottom lash and she had to save the bottom lash from being pulled out. Sigh.
But generally much better. 

Photo from the lift lobby (again weird lights, Suntec lobby M). I am so bad with photos :(

At the end of your session you get this name-card sized card which you can use to redeem your complimentary touch up within 7 days. 

Actually at this point of writing (7 hours later), I've already lost one lash while washing my face. So if schedule permits, I try to go for the complimentary touch up. The first week after the extension your lashes fall off the quickest, so going for the touch up helps sustain the lifetime of your extension, and makes your buck count :) 

Final reminder, try not to go for these beauty sessions with make up on. Because they'll have to remove it for whichever area you're treating that day, and that you end up with weird uneven splotches on your face. I either do that, or if my appointment is after work, I make sure I go home after that. But it's up to you I guess. 

Love.

HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD.
Picture
For those of us who thought that our Harry Potter adventure has ended, that we are doomed to re-read over and over again, revising the words that have already been committed to memory, the release of the Cursed Child is like a glass of water in a never-ending desert. One glass that we know will only starve off the thirst for awhile, but we are nonetheless thankful for.

You can read more (and watch some videos) about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the following sites:

And then if you are shocked that Hermione Granger is not Emma Watson:

I assure you that the last link makes it easier to wrap your head around the idea. 

I'm personally extremely intrigued by Albus Potter and the "Expectations" that are put on him, more than the fact that Harry is a struggling overworked Ministry employee (Though we all can relate to that, not very magical). Remember at the previous ending where Albus asked Harry what if he were put into Slytherin, and Harry said that the Sorting Hat recognises your choice? In retrospect, that might been the hint about the darkness that many readers are interested about. That inner struggle of light and darkness that many of us face, because we're simply too cynical to believe in single-sided fairy tales anymore. 

Also, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy!!! 
Hyperion the book publishing company?? Or Hyperion in Greek Mythology? 
Wikipedia: In Greek mythology, Hyperion (/haɪˈpɪərɪən/; Greek: Ὑπερίων, "The High-One") was one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky or Heaven) who, led by Cronus, overthrew Uranus and were themselves later overthrown by the Olympians. With his sister, the Titaness Theia, Hyperion fathered Helios (Sun), Selene (Moon) and Eos (Dawn).[1]
Picture
Does Scorpius and Albus re-enact the childhood vendetta that their fathers have? 
Do they turn out to be friends?
Does Scorpius have his fathers' (albeit cowardly) goodness that is probably deep deep  inside, as well as his mother's take on magical life?
Astoria refused to raise her child in the belief that Muggles (and likely Muggle-borns, half-bloods and Squibs as well) were scum and, as a result, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy found her a somewhat disappointing daughter-in-law; family gatherings were, as a result, often fraught with tension. It is unknown what her husband Draco's reaction was to this, but given that he also was sobered by his own terrible experience during the Second Wizarding War, it is possible that he secretly approved of it.

I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON IT!

Collection starts on 31 July 2016 for those who have pre-booked. 
Price off shelf is around $39 I think, pre-book prices at Popular Bookstores are... Lemme check the receipt. $35.91 including $2.35 GST. 
Pre-orders are filling up fast if you're interested (save $5 and the queue?). I mentioned this book to my friend who has a Primary 4 daughter, and she says she tried to make a pre-order but they were full. Oh Wells. 

Love <3

We've finally gone physical! 
And honestly it's been an amazing experience so far (and yes, thankfully we opted to pay an extra $10 for the electricity access. So i can use my laptop, can allow people to pay using our website, can write a blog entry and we can charge our phones haha.) But so far people choose to go to an ATM to draw cash, so i need to use the laptop to do other things haha. 
​The event looks great!
Picture
Looks beautiful and sunny ^^ 
We're like directly in front of the organisers, close to the 45R on the right side, and we had this crisis earlier where they sun shone directly at us at 2pm >.< Our Japanese Hokkaido Melon Kit-Kat turned into this Wafer-in-the-middle-of-melon-sauce thing, and I was so afraid that my laptop was going to explode from the heat. 
If you're at the event for our giveaway or lucky draw, and you cant find us (Someone went to the organiser behind us to ask for the gift bag. Err, the gift bag is from us. Not Fleawhere.) ; we look like this:
Picture
 That's my Chanel brooch there. No it does not come with the Elle $48 dress that's selling at $42 these 2 days. 
Most of the people we met at the Maker's market have been nice. And we've been so happy meeting all the people who came to collect their gift bags.
To clarify, the gift bags are packed to have at least 5 items. The items inside are varied (other than the fact that each bag has a tank top inside). Some bags we added extra items to make them more equal in value, like if the earring is simpler we might throw in an additional hair accessory or facial products or something. So actually we won't allow people to ask for a change of the items inside nor pick and choose from different bags. Sigh. We need to be fair to everyone yeah? And it's free. You don't get to be choosy when it's free haha xD 
Partial batch of gift bag packing by us elves:

Is it OCD of me to notice that the bb cream on the extreme right of the picture is placed on the wrong side :/ Oh wells. It's going to be an awesome Saturday! <3
