So glad that he bought extras, will last for a few months for me... Let's see what's in my beauty loots: 1.

Bought this loose blush compact in Taiwan recently. I just couldn't resist the cute princess look of Jill Stuart cosmetics. The powder is very fine. There is also a very light flora scent. Check out the swatches below. Shimmering Colours.... A super soft brush that picks up the fine powder and brushes onto your cheek for a soft look. My Reviews: I've always love the shimmering pink blushes from Jill Stuart. The princess packages are so hard to resist too. It's a pity that they are not available in Singapore.  What's your favorite product from Jill Stuart? Share with me...

Dine at Tonkotsu King @ Tangjong Pagar weeks ago.... It's a small place located at Orchid Hotel at Tangjong Pagar.  If I remembered correctly, I thinks there's only about 10 tables inside, able to seat maximum 30 plus people only. It's best to arrive early or to go for a late dinner as the queue could get quite long. The tables are very small, with lots of things placed on the tables. Settings and condiments. Pickled bean sprouts. Complementary boiled eggs to start your meal. Grind your own sesame seeds and add it into your ramen for a touch of sesame fragrance. I try the Green Tea Cola. Tasted like a fizzy green tea. You can creat your own ramen flavor according to your taste. But of course I will recommend you to try the original soup base for the real authentic taste.  The noodles are done al dente to the bite, and the thick pork bone stock coated the noodles nicely. As the place is really sma...
