Thank you and I love it!

Say No to Fur

A pretty sight at TOPSHOP's Oxford Street flagship store is more than just a bold fashion statement. Topshop's cry of love for PETA - go Anti Fur, for the love of animals.

Their fact: 1 FUR COAT = 25 CATS… 17 DOGS… 8 SEALS… 15 BADGERS… 14 OTTERS… 15 FOXES… 35 RABBITS

We cannot tolerate any cruelty on animals in the name of fashion.
Fashion is more noble than that.

Kate Cosmetics

To most of you, Kate Cosmetics is kinda unknown. But I assure you Japanese know a quite bit on make up and colors too. (I like Shiseido Maquillage - Shiseido is another Jap brand). Well, Kate cosmetics is a sister brand of Kanebo, a reputable cosmetics and skincare line.

My 3 favourite thing I have got from them are - well, my fashion staple, blusher, mascara and eyeshadow/eyeliner.

This blusher comes with a mini brush. Completely use-able because of it thick fluffy hair. The color is great, 2/3 peachy and 1/3 dark pink. It gives a healthy glow and iridescent look.
As a mascara buff... this didn't fail me eventhough it's a bit tough to remove (I may have overload it on my lashes). The wand is without any bristles at all! ;O but it does give good coverage, and keeps curl in place. In the mixture it does not have fiber but......... *drum rolls* minute glitter. Fantastic for a night out. As I've said it is minute, hence, putting on the mascara doesn't give you the OTT look.
Lastly, eyeshadow cum eyeliner. 'Nuff said. You can select your choice of color and just buy the pencil holder and voila, 2 in one.

fashionable with a cause

GAP recently launched a new, limited collection in October - PRODUCT (RED) TM. A great partnership with PRODUCT (RED) to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.

PRODUCT (RED) TM collection was backed up by Gap’s predictable mega star studded campaign. It impressive, heroic even (to me) for these stars to help promote this campaign. Stars consist of Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Garner, Chris Rock, Penelope Cruz, Christy Turlington, Don Cheadle, Mary J. Blige, Dakota Fanning and Apolo Ohno.
My favourite goes to... Christy

It would be a great (small) step for us to give back to the society. Being fashionable, with a cause. Who can ever resist a simple tee that can change the world?

Can you ? Not me. I choose to be INSPI(RED) by these heroic individuals. shop Gap(RED) TM














ps : now it makes me wonder who will be the first celeb to be seen with a red Moto Razr, Lose the pink razr gold one already. get red here
