 What's happenin' cupcakes?

Hope you had a lovely weekend! 

It flew pass way too quickly before I was able to finish spelling M-O-N-D-A-Y. And the counting down to Friday starts right about now... Le sigh. 

Moonday usually means instagram/ recap post and I shall start this week's recap post with some food porn and proceed to more FOTD, OOTD and NOTD shots.

PHOTOLOG: Of #MBFWA and #CAStudyBreak

Howdy everybody! Another gorgeous day in Sydney - it seems like we have been getting the summer days we never had with the abundance of sunshine lately. Shame I don't have much of a chance to enjoy Mr. Sunshine.  

If you have been following me on twitter or instagram (@ThroughBeautyEyes), you would have probably came across alot of #CARelatedTweets. Yes, it's that time of the year again where yours truly become a hermit in the name of CA (Chartered Accountant Program) and does nothing but sexing my notes and eating non-stop with zero exercise. 

It has been a while since I last updated - #badblogger so just a couple of snippets from the past 2 weeks to keep you posted re my mundane life. But fret not, ThroughBeautyEyes.Com will resume in full force post 8 May 2012 once I take Taxation paper down #likeaboss. 

(gotta stop speaking #twitter language!)

4.Backstage for Bowie, #MBFWA

5. Mr. Bowie Wong himself at #MBFWA, who's SUPER down-to-earth may I add.

6. Studying @Darling Quarter as I was being unproductive at home. 

7. Corn chips with HOT salsa dip for some brain stimulation. 

8. My food "haul" from the Korean grocer near my place (that's barely 1/3 of the shit I bought in the past week GG ADELINE).

9. Homemade peri-peri chicken salad! Tasted freakin delicious, if I may say so myself. 

10. Surprise package from MUKUCHU - and they are toric lenses! :) 

11. Coffee @ wine o'clock on Friday - WHO AM I? 

12. Planning for post exams outings keeps me sane. 

13. Home made microwaved-egg-in-pan with spinach and feta cheese. NOMS. 

14. Frozen yogurt cravings satisfied with a serving of Moochi Parfait. 

15. Madame Flavour Pear Jasmine Green Tea - absolutely divine! Something "healthier" to wash away some of the junks I consumed over the past few days. 

Hope you ladies and gents (if any) have a lovely weekend! 

ENJOY THE SUNSHINE WHILE ITS OUT!

I will be back tomorrow with a quick offer for you readers for the upcoming Fashion Weekend! :P

Back to the damn books! #FML

XOXO,

PHOTOLOG: Sneak Peek of Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism Collection, Outfit of the Day, Good Friday Eve!

10:30am on a Monday and I was still lazing in bed. 

11:40am on a Monday morning, I am now blogging with a cup of English Breakfast Tea.

#LongWeekend is bliss. 

As the cliche goes - pictures speak a thousand words. 

Here's another photolog-post to highlight the memorable events last week, leading up to the Easter long weekend. :) 

Blazer: Dotti/ Singlet: SUPRE/ High-wasties: PaperScissors/ Loafers: RUBI

My casual outfit of the day when I attended a full day study session for Taxation *yawns* last Wednesday. Lovin' the colours blocking!

Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism Launch @TailorMaidCommunications

I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch of Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism Collection - perfect end to the day after a long day filled with boring tax laws. 

Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism Collection

Sneak peek into the Human Fundamentalism Collection - more deets to come along with swatches and review!! Stay tune for that! :)

At the mean time, if you would like to snag some goodies for yourself, MYER is having 20% off its entire range between 4th and 29th April 2012.  Head to your nearest Illamasqua counter now before its too late! :D

Illamasqua Acopalips Lipstick

Top & Skirt from Papers Scissors

Outfit of the day that goes from work to play. :)

That pretty much sums up my week leading up to Easter Weekend. Part 2 on my long weekend will be coming up in the next post. :)

Here's a preview of my day trip down to the South Coast. :D

Riding the Cannon @ The Light House, Wollongong

Hope you guys had an awesome Long Weekend! 

Dreading work tomorrow, who's with me here? :(

XOXO,

UPDATES & INSTAGRAM-ED V2

It's the ever dreadful Monday again - my most favourite day of the week, NOT. 

But instead of whinging like a little kid, I am trying (keyword: TRYING) to be more positive and have a quick "picture reflection" of the past week or so. 

As you can see, ThroughBeautyEyes.Com has undergone a "minor operation" over the weekend - it looks much simpler now than before than far from what I have in mind! But those changes are going to gradual as I have heaps of tweaking to do! So, please bear with the current one for the time being. :D

DO YOU LIKEY THE NEW LAYOUT? ;)

WARNING: There might be quite *a few* #foodporn photos as you scroll down, please do that at your own risk. I will not be responsible for any hunger caused. =P

 Yours truly posing with her "vicarious" shopping from HK - MAC Watch Me Shimmer Lipstick ( I LOVE) and Revlon Lip Butter in Macaron.

(Huge thanks to BFF - Miss Wendy and Co) 

 Sneak peak of my FOTD rockin' my new fav - MAC Watch Me Shimmer Lippie <3

Stay tune!

 My current obsession - Banana, Mango & Passionfruit smoothie from Top Juice!

LOVES the smoothie and juices from Top Juice as they use pure fruits with no added sugar, except they are pretty exy $$$!

$12 Steak + Shoestring Chips @ Bar Luca

BEST STEAK & CHIPS EVER, nuff said!  

Although Bar Luca is situated at the other side of my "hood" - towards Wynyard - Circular Quay area, I am considering making a weekly visit just because their steak and chips are SO.WORTH.IT.

One of my "beasty" brekkie - Teriyaki Chicken Sushi and Smoked Salmon Salad Roll

Jurlique's New Rose Moisture Plus with Antioxidant Complex Range!!!

I have heard so many good reviews about Jurlique products - can't wait to try these babies out! May I add that these products smell absolutely divine? 

 

Packages that make my otherwise mundane day at work slightly better :)

And this time, it's all about Sample Boxes! I was sent a few sample boxes over the past few months, so I will be doing a more detailed post on what I think about sample boxes soon rather than just showcasing the products as you have probably seen it around other blogs already. :)

Hump Day FOTD - green smokey eyes using my fav Stardust eyeshadow from Sisley Mystic Harmony Collection (Reviewed & Swatched HERE) just because I felt like it. :)

Team Lunch @BonaFides

Grilled prawn salad with extra haloumi on the side. SUPER NOMS! 

Lunch with the girlies @ Bonafides

Fettucini with ricotta, chilli lime dressing and grilled prawns with extra chilli on the side. 

I am pretty sure the picture itself illustrates HOW DELISH it was! 

Yes, I did go to Bonafides on Thursday and Friday - simply because it is just down the road from where I work and they serve pretty decent food! Anything with grilled prawn is yums - their steak on the other hand was just mediocre! 

Weekend NOTD - A holographic polish I got from Morning Glory a LONG time ago! And I forgotten how gorgeous this shade is! :)

 Saturday readings - Rae Morris Timeless MakeUp & CLEO Mag! 

Brunch @Robocog, Surry Hills

Grilled Haloumi with salsa on rosemary sourdough with extra churizo & scrambled eggs on the side. 

SUPER YUMS - albeit I felt like I was 2 months preggos after demolishing everything on the plate! 

 Our first photo shoot sesh together @ a quiet laneway in Surry Hills! Stay tune :D

That pretty much sums up what's been happenin for the past week and what I got up to over the weekend. Nothing interesting as you can tell, it always involves food & make up. =.="

NOTE TO SELF: Stop drafting post with FOOD in midnight, especially when your stomach is grumping, yearning for a good scrumptious supper. It is quite torturous. 

What did you lovelies get up to over the weekend?

Anything interesting and/or fun? Do share. :)

Have a great week ahead!! <3

XOXO,

A
