Running to the Lord

Recently, I decided to do some sport. At least I must move my body, so I chose to jog. It really caused me a wallet damage, as I don't have a proper running shoes and running attire. Horrible, huh? 

On one-fine-day, I and Juju (my housemate) went to Queensway Plaza to look some shoes, I wasn't really interested in the beginning to buy shoes cos it didn't cross my mind to pick up jogging. The main reason we went there actually to hunt New Balance shoes. She really want to get New Balance shoes badly. End up on that day, I was the one who bought shoes! 

So here's the item that I purchased :) 

Nike LunarFly4

Recently I have a pink addiction. It's more to like to pink tangerine (not sure what's this!). I think it's kinda sweet, cool and has the feminine yet strong look. At first, I have chosen the blue with orange color, but after looking at this, I really fell in love! So decided to buy and it cost me about SGD 128 (If I'm not mistaken or even lesser). 

Here's on my foot :) 

Running Pants & Sports Bra

I think the sports bra is the coolest thing ever! I could run freely without having pain of wearing the bra. It's really comfortable. :) 

So within this month, I ran about 5 times, didn't record 2 times :(. 

Why is the title "Running to the Lord"? It's one of the activity from the church, I'm not really sure how's the whole story, but as I know every cellgroup have to achieve the target to run within certain km and compete with other zone. We don't make any schedule who must run but we just run based on our will. Happy to be part of it! Here are some pics to show off, for a person who doesn't really do much exercise like me! :p 

2nd day

3rd day

5th day. Ok not sure why the date is wrong. Because I ran 3km last night which is on the 27th! *Weird* 

I didn't record the first one though, but it should be 2.89km too, because I ran the same track. 

The 4th day I went to Bishan Park and ran with Jill. It's more to leisure jog and for fun! Here are some pics! 

Our Nike shoes! 

Me and Jill :)

Pink Obsession of the day

*peace* 

Brunch at Canopy Bar at Bishan Park

I have a week stop of jogging due to health. I had this migrain for a week like non-stop, seriously non-stop it's really bugging me at first until it didn't bug me at all. So I went to pharmacy and the pharmacist was really nice, he listened all my complains and gave me some medicine and it works! Happy me. :) 

While I was running, I always play all the praise and worship songs. It just somehow excite and motivate me. I really love it. Especially when the song "Running" is playing. I started to enjoy running because I can have a "me-time" with God, I could pray and talk everything to Him. While running, I also thanking God for everything. Even there wasn't anything can't be thought of, I just say "Thank God". 

"Thank God that He didn't forgot to give me breathe in the morning"

"Thank God that I'm alive"

"Thank God that I'm healthy"

"Thank God that I'm who I am today"

"Thank God for everything that You have given to me"

"Thank God...." 

Never stops thanking God even though there's nothing to be thank of! Just say "Thank God!" 

XOXO,

[Review] Bourjois Touche Healthy Mix Brush Concealer

As I have promised in my previous post. Now I'm sharing the item that I loved recently!

Concealer

Based on Wikipedia, concealer is..

A type of cosmetic that is used to mask dark circles, age spots, large pores and other small blemishes visible on the skin. It is similar to foundation but thicker and used to hide different pigments by blending the imperfection into the surrounding skin tone. It is normally applied after primer, but before foundation and used on the face

Liquid based Concealer

Ok. Even though I like the liquid concealer, but not all are good. Quite struggling to find the right one. I tried from various brand (again) from Etude House and Maybelline. At first, it was fine, everything seems alright, but after few hours.. I experienced the same thing and you know what's that. My horror nightmare, caking.

I wasn't in full confidence when I purchased Bourjois, I thought it would be end up like the other concealers. Which actually it's not! So, here are the highlight that I would like to share with you all! :)

Bourjois Touche Healthy Mix Brush Concealer: a light formula, enriched with light reflecting pigments to help illuminate dark areas and conceal imperfections and a brush tip pen for a precise application.

Bourjois Touche Healthy Mix Brush Concealer

What I like:

- It doesn't "cake" when I put powder on the top of it

- Illuminates my dark circle well

- It brings the more radiant look and it makes my face looks fresher

- Brush tip pen
- Easy to apply and blends well with fingers
- Absorbs to my skin very well 

What I dislike:

- Pricing, it costs SGD 19.90 for each, but I've checked on asos.com the price is only about SGD 14++

- The amount in the tube is very less, only 1.5ml. And this is my 2nd tube within less than 2 months

- Only available in certain places, I get it from Watsons NEX
- Low coverage for those who has very dark circles 

Brush Tip Pen

Am I willing to buy the third and so on tube?

Yes I am. As long as it covers my dark circles well, I will definitely purchase it on regular basis. For me personally, it's quite hard to find the right concealer. I tried Bobbi Brown, Etude House, Maybelline, Benefit, it didn't work at all. Even I can't finish the whole thing. After few times of usage, I just simply didn't like it and stop using it. I used to be quite harsh with my eyes area, because of dark circles and some concealer, so the effects show now which it creates lot of fine lines despite of my young age! :( I should take care my eye area more intensively.

My experience exploring the right concealer, it wasn't easy, it involves money, effort, and of course your own eyes as the guinea pig. :) So, love your eye area girls!

Here are some tips:

- Make sure to moist your face with moisturizer or eye cream, make it as your base

- Use your ring finger to apply it. Why? Because ring finger has the least strength

- Or if you are using brush, make sure you are not giving too much pressure.

- Be gentle!

!!! Update:
As recently I've been playing with concealer again. I find this trick to have better coverage on your under eye area. As my dark circles is quite dark, 1 tone color can't afford to cover it. Hence I tried with darker color as the first coverage; to cover the very dark circle and followed by second coverage with Bourjois Concealer. It conceals my dark circle quite awesome, doesn't cake and it looks really natural. Here's my look of the day! Notice my dark circles? :)

I was using Sephora Concealer for the first coverage with medium tone, I will give another review too for this product! I fell in love with this product :)

XOXO,

Jess

Wanted

Recently, this song keeps playing on the radio that I listen everyday in my office. Enjoy this guys!! 

You know I'd fall apart without you

I don't know how you do what you do

'Cause everything that don't make sense about me

Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl, I need you

But it's more than one and one makes two

Put aside the math and the logic of it

You gotta know you're wanted too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever

And never let you forget it

Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah

And you get that all the time, I know you do

But your beauty's deeper than the make-up

And I wanna show you what I see tonight...

When I wrap you up

When I kiss your lips.

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever

And never let you forget it

'Cause, baby, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel

I wanna make you feel better

Better than your fairy tales

Better than your best dreams

You're more than everything I need

You're all I ever wanted

All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever

And never let you forget it

Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

You'll always be wanted

July Timeline

Forgive me for not updating the blog for a month! I didn't realize that July went that fast!! It just like I snapped my finger and it's passed. Too fast. :( 

During this long weekend, I'm not going anywhere due to work commitment. Hence, on weekend I ended up in office.. But God is good!! At least I'm not just staying at home doing nothing. 

Anyway, this time I'm just going to post the pictures for the month of July :) Keep the memories! 

On 5th July, which was my 23rd birthday, me and my friends went for dinner at Watami, all the girls at first, later on Erick joined for drinking session. Actually we went 2 times, 1st one at Malones in Somerset and the other one at Harry's in Dempsey Hill. I prefer Harry's actually, the bar is more alive, the live music is so much better!! I ordered cocktail, but seems the cocktail in Harry's too much ice until I can't taste the alcohol taste.. 

Birthday girl (me) and Wenda 

Pretty ladies with the most handsome guy! 

Another shot

And we're back at H<3me!!! During my birthday it was the first weekend service in Suntec :) 

On that weekend too, my CG celebrated my birthday :') I'm so blessed to have them. Here's my birthday cake! 

Birthday Cup-Cake

Birthday Present

And on Tuesday night, we had dedication service and Ps Yonggi Cho sent the messages. And I met baby Daniel (Rayvin and Jie Ying's son - they are my leader!). He's so adorable, the cheeks is too tempting.. Awwww <3 You're so gonna be loved! 

And also, I met Ps Kevin Loo in CHCSG!! He remembers me! :') I'm so happy! So here's the snap Viry-Ps Kev-Me. 

The following week, my BFF, Remita came to Singapore! Her main purpose was for the career fair and of course CHCSG! 

When a friend come to pay a visit, obviously I'll become a tourist too! Hahahaha! We had this Mango Sagoo at Ah Chew Dessert House located in Bugis. I love this dessert house! 

Remita and Me :) 

I really forgot which weekend we had Farewell Dinner for Erick. He left Singapore after live in here for 7 nearly 8 years (I guess..). We had dinner at Long Beach Seafood in Dempsey Hill. 

The food is so-so, I couldn't say it's really nice and very pricey! But the most important is the moment :) 

After dinner we went for drinking session (as usual), we went to reddot. The bar beside the restaurant, their live music is good too! And we tried the "green beer" I have no idea what's the name, but the taste ain't that bad. It still acceptable for a person who has low tolerance of alcohol drinks. 

The long waited show!! I finally watch this show after purchased the ticket on May.. It was indeed a great show, but because my seating position wasn't that great, I couldn't see clearly and on some part I closed my eyes. =x 

Me :) 

The pretty girls 

Inside the Theatre

Watched at Marina Bay Sands Grand Theatre 

On the following week, I had the most tiring day ever!!! I had to woke up at 430AM!! AM!! Just to go to office.. I brought food, etc.. It was for AM Live Show that's in our office lounge! :) 

Sunrise at Seletar 

Another Sunrise pics (too awesome)

Another cute stuffs :D 

 Actually, on that AM Live show day, supposedly we should had a dinner for my late birthday celebration. However, because I was too tired, too sleepy and my bosses were being so nice, they decided to postponed it til the next day. 

We had our dinner at "Tambuah Mas" located in Tanglin Shopping Centre. I love the food here. It really has the Indonesian taste! :)
