Yup! We are launching a manufactured collection and we thought we should experiment with an outdoor shoot. Heh.

We were torn between Pluck and MyFatLady. After checking out the 2 places, we decided on the latter as there wasn’t a good seating at Pluck.

Heard pretty much good reviews about MyFatLady and we selected 4 cupcakes to be our props for the shoot – Lemon, Red Velvet, Cookies&Cream, Sticky Date.

To our disappointment, none of us liked the cupcakes. They are not as rich in flavours as I expected them to be. Lemon tasted like a normal butter cake. Red Velvet was lack in moisture and taste. Sticky Date was bad (maybe becos’ I was craving for marmalade pantry’s). Cookies&Cream fair just alright without the buttery cream.

I find the cakes were lack in sugar. Or is that what’s good about them? Or probably they weren’t up to standard that particular day?

Anyway, I gotta give them credits for the cutesy icing decorations! Really creative and pretty. Though they taste hard and non-sweet at all. bleh.

Back to the shoot! As it was an impromptu (meaning lack of planning) and having Amy as the photographer, we tried our very best to make something out from it.

We even tried the feeding pose, which looks kinda weird? hahahaa.. 

cam-whoring pose!

here’s the picture we took while we ‘cam-whored’.

We tried walking poses too~

And here’s the selected shot for our cover! You can check out the rest that made it to our album at oh! poupée FB Page. 

Speaking of tomorrow’s collection, we are so soooooo egg-cited about it! Took us more than a month to get this collection ready. (:

This is a piece inspired by Topshop! When I whatsapp the girls my original piece, we went, “We gotta make this!”. So here’s 4 colors for you to choose from~ I have to emphasize that the material of this piece is very similar to the original Topshop one! We were so happy when our supplier showed us this fabric. (: Let us know what you think about the fabric? We plan to use this fabric on other designs.

Inspired by this season’s trend, we came up with this lovely skater pleat skirt! The cutting of the skirt is so flattering and it was better than what we expected. Amy always wanted a skater skirt but the ones out there makes her hips look bigger. But when she tried on this skirt, she fell in love with it immediately! The thick waistband kinda creates a slimming effect and the sewing of the pleats are done in a way that it doesn’t puff up too much~

This has gotta be our most comfy cardigan till date! The cotton fabric is so soft, smooth and stretchy. We are loving the seashell buttons along the sleeves, as inspired by ZARA. There’s 5 colors to choose from! And get it at only 1/3 of ZARA’s retail price~

Last item in this collection: Striped Pleat Midi Skirt. I can’t decide which color(s) to keep! The silky polyester fabric is imported from Japan! Hehe. Midi skirts that end just right below knee tend to make the legs look short and stumpy. So we like it to end just above the knees as we know most girls are conscious of the proportions.

Getting tempted!? This collection will be launched tomorrow at 9pm~

Here’s another piece of good news too! We are giving free normal postage and get $3 off if you’re getting 4 manufactured pieces. Heh. Great excuse to shop!

See you babes at www.ohpoupee.com tomorrow~

do we look alike? haha…
I have received so many comments previously when we both appeared on FF.

in actual fact, we look very different! maybe it’s the smile?

if you find christine familiar, you must have seen her super coffee mix advertisement with the cute animated ants! it’s been on air heavily on tv everyday!

hur hur, so gorgeous!

It’s been quite a while since I appeared at Frenchfleurs. With me bloating up like nobody’s business and the recent bad breakout, I ought to hide behind the cameras.

My preparations before the shoot starts:
Introducing the new addition to the Ettusais family: AC Pore Smooth Concealer!

It was also one of the products that were launched at the previous Ettusais Party together with the Dual Effect products.

Make the pores disappear!

Concealing the pores on my nose! Enlarged pores has larger exposed surface – when light hits on the pores, a shadow is cast plus the excess oil sebum, they make the enlarged pores look visible to our eyes.

The AC Pore Smooth Concealer contains mineral powder that prevents inflammation and the AC control oil retains moisture in the skin. As well, it helps to disperse light – reducing the look of enlarged pores.

It doesn’t clog pores and no sticky feeling! I applied it over my makeup, as the last step.

Besides the AC Pore Smooth Concealer, I applied the Whitening UV EX as my pre-makeup base plus sunblock. It has sunscreen protection of SPF 24 PA++, anti-bacterial effect, treats acne, prevents further breakouts and evens out skin tone.

It comes in Dry Block and Oil Block formulas.

Dry Block is suitable for dry and dehydrated skin. It is formulated with AC Control Oil that hydrates the skin and prevents shine.

Oil Block is suitable for oily and combination skin. It is oil-free and moisturizing, helps to absorb excess sebum and keeps your skin free and matte.

My dry block is squeezed out, got myself a new tube! I’m using the oil block for my forehead while dry block for the rest. I’ve got oily forehead and dry cheeks.

Follow on after the base; it’s the Zero Pore Pact. The first plate has lasted me for 6 months! Well, I use minimally every day. It has antibacterial properties too, as well sunscreen properties of SPF 12 PA++. I’m using the Dry Block – it has a moisturizing texture that hydrates the skin with AC control and prevents skin from flaking.

Did I mention that the sponge for Oil block and Dry block is different!? The sponges are designed to help better application of its respective pact.

And there, for a smooth flawless complexion…

the half-blood prince disappointed me.

i prefer this one much better.

i am balloon-ing…. *dreads*

I started to realise I actually like myself for my long face. Though i used to grumble about it and getting mock at for a “horse” face, I do like it afterall.

Get rid of my chubby cheeks, s’il vous plait.

i’m so so so so so darn worried, after what WT said at the end of the shoot.

i just can’t help but to think and feel that I will be eliminated.

————————–

Kelvin picked me up after the shoot and drove down to Central Mall…

He still knows me the best. Food cheers me up!

We missed out on the pork cheeks meat the last time.

Thankfully, we were early today!

the meat was succulent and tasty. ahhh, im drooling again…

I love the flavoured egg too. The yolk was awesome!

Our set up at Fort Canning Park…

we reckon it looks like for some spa or nature advert… haha…

check this out! i’m streeetched~ lol..

Ooooppps. Caught in action! Haha.. what am I spraying on my legs!?

Collected the Ettusais products before heading for the shoot and wanted to try them out immediately!! Hahah..

It’s Acne Body Whitening Mist from Ettusais!

It helps to keep the skin moisturized and fair! It also lightens and clears the blemishes on our body! At the same time, preventing acne formation on our body.

I had pimples popping out on my back previously. Now, this whitening mist and the Acne Aroma Body Wash are gonna be my best friends!

I was told that the body wash has a floral fruity scent. Couldn’t wait to bath time, so I opened it and gave a good sniff! Smells really citrus and floral…. Rose, Jasmine, Apple, Pear, Peach.. So yummy! And the aroma seems to take the stress away, it smells really refreshing!

It has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that remove excess oil and impurities, keeping our body skin blemish-free. But it’s also gentle and keeps the skin moisturized!

When I went to change into my 2nd outfit, I took the body wash along, squeezing a little out, foaming it up.. haha.. I didn’t bath in the toilet. Was merely using the aroma to freshen myself up! Was really tempted to take a bath though. The weather was so humid!

Of course I did use it when I got home. Loved the refreshing feeling. (:

The 2nd look for the shoot. Some sort Emo…

played with the light effects…

this was for the shadow effect…

haha.. my constraint space attempt.. failed!

Can’t wait to see the final photos… We’ve got a couple of good shots and interesting ones!

And oh yes! How can I leave this out:

*my fat ass and thighs*

Fashion shoot for  a NAFA fashion student, Pink.

Luckily, I had Michelle with me for the shoot!

heart this girl!

Love her shots… She’s great at it!

Ginger, the makeup artist. She’s really good at it!!!

Tuck fooling around.. lol…

The team for the day!

It was a tiring shoot. 6 freaking hours under the humid condition.

plus the scary ants! we did a shot just right beside the ant hole!!! and i started whacking myself after 5 mins. it was horrible~

But it’s a good experience. My 1st fashion shoot…. (:

had my hair and makeup done..

for the photoshoot!

a look that i’ve never attempt before. I didn’t even look like this in secondary school. lol..

I hope the after-proccessing of the photos will turn out good.

I doubt any of my friends will recognise me on the first glance. lol..

*Votes do not count into the results*

I hate signing up for unnecessary accounts. But after knowing that they are not giving us the copies of the photoshoot, I finally spend 5 minutes creating a NS portal account.

Quite disappointing, the pictures were like thumbnail size. boo.

Alright, let me do a formal introduction of the finalists!

last night, we had a speech training session. And we were told to try on the bikinis and shawls. plus photo-taking.

It just had to happen when I had light makeup and did not put on fake eyelashes!

—————————————-

I’m feeling kinda dishearted after last night’s session. I have been with different group of people for the past week and it influenced my concept of self. I’m feeling lost.

everything seems to be a fluff and nothing more.

*sya, im having the same thoughts as you.*
