Lynn: 2017

Debbie from Skin Lash SG kindly invited me down for a facial treatment + eyelash extensions the other day - just what I needed right after finals haha my skin has been breaking out and looking super dull + I've always wanted to go for eyelash extensions so I decided to go for it! She didn't ask for this blog post but I decided to still do it anyway because I had a really good experience and I thought I'd share + answer some commonly-asked questions from my friends! :-)

We first started off with a Hydro-Active intensive treatment (U.P. $180) which aims to provide intensive moisturising care to the skin which was what I needed! My skin looks super dull without make up and I found out from Debbie that it's because of the lack of moisture in my face (haha I blame my laziness....... and it's probably time i start using a proper moisturiser)

Then we moved on to my eyelash extensions! I wanted something natural so I chose the B-Curl, Signature Set (90 lashes/side) recommended by Debbie and ah I loved it!
P.s. You can choose the length/curl/kind of eyelashes you want

Before I got my eyelash extensions! As you can see, I have reaaally little eyelashes to begin with HAHA

And these are some gifs after I got my eyelash extensions done!

You can really see the difference :-)

And one week after..

I love how natural it looks! :-) Debbie is super nice and hospitable - and she made sure I was comfortable at all times which I really appreciate! Do note that she's more chinese-spoken but don't worry if you aren't because she can still converse in English pretty well :-)

A few of my friends pmed/dmed me asking me about my eyelash extensions and I thought I'll just compile some questions here!

Q: How much are the eyelash extensions?

A: There's a range from $70-$140 and mine costs $110! Good news because they're having a 40% opening sale (yes!! even for eyelash extensions!)

Q: Are the eyelash extensions uncomfortable? How to do they feel on the eyes?

A: Wasn't during application at all - I almost fell asleep! It felt a little odd at the start because I can see the eyelashes in my vision (I used to have botak eyelashes so you can't blame me hahaha i don't know how it's like to have long eyelashes) - but it's ok after a short while and I can barely feel that it's there after!!

Q: Is it a hassle to maintain the eyelash extensions?

A: I would admit that it is! haha I have this super bad habit of rubbing my eyes so there were so many times I had to stop myself from doing so. Debbie also told me to avoid oil-based products (esp make up remover) which I don't use usually so it's fine :-) But besides that, for the convenience, it's so worth it!!! I can basically wake up looking like I have eyeliner and mascara on HAHAHA and that's skipping 2 steps of make up!!

Feel free to ask me anything through my instagram dms/here if you're interested to get yours done too!! I have friends who just got theirs done too ;-)

Do check out them on their social media!

Y2S1 - Finding myself

Next Tuesday marks the end of yet another semester in Uni. The people around me would know that this semester has been, hm, how do I put it, special for me in the sense that it was a semester of me.. finding myself.

I am currently an Accountancy student - and why accounting? I was so lost after I got my A'level results, I didn't know what I wanted, I thought I had a passion for teaching so I applied for a teaching scholarship (and got it, but rejected it after) after considering about how I'll have to take Science in NUS.. (omg I can't imagine myself going down that path, it's so... not me).

Well after 1 year + 1 sem in Accounting, I'd have to admit that, well, Accounting is something that is definitely.. not me and not what I want to do. I chose it because it was a practical degree, a safe degree that will get me somewhere in the future but I never truly liked it. (This situation is so common amongst my friends haha sigh) I went ahead with choosing this degree because I'm someone who never dares to do something out of the norm, I like being safe. And this mindset caused me to struggle quite a bit in University. I know a lot of people are struggling too, but it was making me so unhappy and I really wanted to change that.

After talking to countless number of people (and well thank goodness, very supportive friends/family), I decided to make a decision to switch over to a Business degree specialising in Marketing next semester (I know, there's this certain stigma about a Marketing degree, I've heard more than enough!! haha) but I suppose I'll really enjoy myself a lot more in that degree and hopefully make a living out of it in the future. I also understand that I could continue on with my accounting degree (+ how useful this degree is) and switch to something else in the future but hey, why not start on something I like now then sticking to something that I know is obviously not for me? I really want to make the best out of my Uni life, I want to be doing something that I enjoy. I know I can't be 100% certain that I would do good in my new degree but hey, at least I'm following my heart for once, and I promised myself to give it my all.

I am scared, terrified actually. My closer friends would know how afraid I am and how much I doubt myself (doesn't help that I'm a super indecisive person) In fact, I still am. Taking this leap of faith and doing something out of my comfort zone really scares me, and I don't know what will happen in the future but I truly hope that I'll be happy :~)

I hope that when I look back at this post in a year's time I would be in a much happier place with no regrets :~) and p.s. hopefully at exchange too!! *fingers crossed*
