Christmas Favourites

Merry Christmas! It's that special time of the year again. Today I am here to share some of my favourite items this Christmas !

As the weather gets colder, it is important to keep your lips well protected and moisturized. Here are a couple of my favourite lip products.

 Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose from Watsons

I am a huge fan of anything scented, and this smells amazing. We've all experienced those products that smell nothing like the description, however, this Nivea Lip Butter smells exactly like raspberry and roses.



Aside from that, it also does a good job at keeping my lip moisturized. A downside to this lip butter is that it creates a white tint on my lips. To counter this effect, I like to apply a bright lip colour over it. For this festive season, I like to use this really pretty bright pink lipstick from Etude House.

 Princess Etoinette Lipstick from Etude House

Doesn't this lipstick have the prettiest packaging?? I have to admit I was drawn to this partly because of the packaging, I feel like a princess when I'm using it.

Moving on to the product itself, it gives really good colour pay-off. And it lasts well, there is no need for constant re-application. And that is what I look out for in lipsticks.

The next item is a recent purchase. I have been on the hunt for Bath And Body Works candles for the longest time. Here in Singapore, we don't have a Bath And Body Works outlet, which makes it exceptionally difficult for me to get a hold of their products. I finally manage to find a store at SCAPE (level 1) selling their candles. Needless to say, I went into the store like a maniac, and pretty much freaked out. However, the candles are extremely pricey. This one I bought cost $24 SGD. Which is a lot more expensive compared to Bath And Body Works candle pricings for the US.

 Pumpkin Caramel Latte candle from Bath And Body Works

This smells like Starbucks. You know that amazing scent there is when you walk into a Starbucks outlet, and it gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling. And it makes you think of the most delicious frappes and lattes? I can't describe what it is, I can only try to paint a picture using the feeling it invokes. Ahh, you HAVE to smell this candle. (And even my friends agree it smells like Starbucks)

Up next, is some tea I found recently. Just the other day, I was at Sushi Express with my friend, and we decided to get some of their tea.

In this cold season, nothing feels better than a warm cup of tea. I like to drink my tea with added milk, as well as on its own.

 Light Oolong Tea from Sushi Express 313 Somerset

These taste really good, and they're inexpensive too. One box costs $1.50 which is an amazing deal. And you know me, I'm always on the lookout for good deals.



 Pink Peach Hand Essence from Korea

If you read my Korea Trip Beauty Haul, you might recall me talking about this hand cream.

Besides keeping your lips well moisturized this cold season, it is essential that your hands are well protected as well. Moisturized hands lead to pretty hands, leading to simple marvellous nail photos on Instagram, haha.

 Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Eau De Parfum from Sephora

Another item I've talked about before in a previous post. This is the Taylor Swift Wonderstruck perfume I am absolutely in love with. It seems perfect for this Christmas season because it smells like magic in a bottle. And don't you agree Christmas is the perfect time for all things magical?

To read my thoughts and opinions about this perfume, you can check out this post here: http://www.allforcyan.blogspot.sg/2013/04/secret-scenta-review-on-taylor-swifts.html

Okay, that was the last of my Christmas Favourites, thank you for reading !

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays !

Blogmas Day 2: Hot Chocolate + Gossip Girl !

Good morning everyone !

It's 8.00AM and I decided to do some blogging for Blogmas Day 2 before I head off to school. I just made a cup of hot chocolate because it's the best thing to wake me up and give me some energy before the day starts, and I really, really love hot chocolate. On Mondays, school starts at 12.00noon so I don't have to be up by 8.00AM like the rest of the days. I hate waking up early. Am I the only one who feels that the bed feels extremely comfy and warm in the mornings, when you have to get up super duper early but you just want to keep on lying there until the world ends? (Just kidding. But honestly, if you are a student too, I bet my lifetime's supply of hot chocolate that you feel exactly the same way too.)

Oh, and I recently starting watching Gossip Girl again. I like how the characters have really great style and impeccable taste and I just want everything in Serena van der Woodsens' closet.

Sadly, today's post ends here, I have to get ready for school now. 

Thank you for reading and I will be back tomorrow for Blogmas Day 3 !

Love, Cyan

Blogmas Day 1: What's In My Bag

Happy Holidays everyone ! Welcome to DAY 1 of Blogmas. Today I will be showing you what I keep inside my bag on a daily basis. This bag is my absolute favorite, it holds just the right amount of things I need.

Notice this fluffy ball on my bag? It's an adorable keychain I got while I was in Korea. It's a very common accessory which is why I am sure you will be able to find it at Korean accessories or Korean gift-shops where you live. I like to attach it as a personal touch for my bags.

This bag consists of a front pocket, and a large main component. I like the magnetic closures, as well as the large zip in the main component as it keeps my things very secure, and prevents my things from falling out when I'm rushing from places to places.

Starting with the items in the front compartment. These are the things I like to have easy access to, so I won't have to dig within the dark abyss that is the large compartment when I need these things urgently.

 Coach miniature pouch (similar here and here )

I've been using this Coach pouch for a very long time, the material is very durable, but as you can see the silver design is already fading off with many years of use.

 Hair bow from Daiso

I've always kept a hair accessory in my bag because I like to keep my hair out of my face when I'm eating. And look ! The hair bow perfectly matches the colour of my bag.

That is everything I keep for easy accessibility in the front pocket. Let's move on to the large main compartment.

 Clean & Clear Oil Control Film

Another bag essential, I like to keep my face oil-free throughout the day. These are the pink guava scented films from Clean & Clear, they smell amazing !

 Coach wallet, old collection (similar here)

Something everyone has in their bags, the every-important wallet. This is the wallet I've used for the past 2 years, it's big enough to hold notes as well as receipts. I like to keep store receipts in here for about 2 weeks, in case I need to return anything.

2013 Weekly Planner from Smiggle (similar here)

Keeping things organized is the key to my personal success, I also like to note down important dates as well as assignment submissions so I don't miss out on anything.

 Hand Sanitizer from Bath And Body Works

This smells so delicious, and keeps the germs away ! There is nothing I love more than the smell of  sweet, yummy cupcakes and icing.

 Maybelline Baby Lips, New York Fashion Week'13 Limited Edition

As I've mentioned previously, my lips have the tendency to crack because I always forget to consume enough water, which is why I like to keep this in my bag, in case my lips need some repair through the day.

The standard tissue packet, just in case. I really like the flowers on this, as well as the sweet packaging.

When I'm alone either during shopping trips, or long bus rides, I like to listen to music or watch YouTube videos. This is something I can't live without, the lilac colour is another reason why I love using it.

Perfume from Rituelle (from here)

I also like to bring around a miniature perfume. This sweet Cotton Candy scent makes me feel extremely girly. As you can probably tell, I am a huge fan of scents of sweet threats like cupcakes and cotton candy.

And that is all there is in my bag ! I hope you enjoyed this post for Blogmas Day 1 !

Thank you for reading, happy holidays.

Love, Cyan

Blogmas 2013

As a special Christmas celebration, as well as a countdown to December 25th, I will be doing something called "Blogmas". What is Blogmas ? It's an idea I took from "Vlogmas" created by the youtubers. They do a vlog every single day from the start of December until Christmas, but instead of doing vlogs, I will be doing blog posts every single day till Christmas, which is why I named this series Blogmas instead of vlogmas. Sounds interesting doesn't it? So get ready for AllForCyan's Blogmas 2013, starting tomorrow December 1st to December 25th ! New blog posts everyday. Happy holidays !

Love, Cyan

Hey guys, I'm back !!

I've been gone for about 2 months? Wow, that is such a horribly long time.

I've just been so busy rushing assignments and focusing on school-work. However, my projects are almost done, so I will have more time for blogging. And I've already started planning some cool and fun new posts that I can do ! As well as some other posts I said I was going to do but never uploaded them (so so sorry), I will have new posts every week, for a sneak peek take a look at my blogging schedule below!

• What's In My Purse

That is all for this post ! I will be back very soon, thank you for reading !

September/October Collective Haul

I'm Going To FIDe Fashion Week + New Loves !

Hi guys !! I'm starting this post by sharing some items I have been obsessing over these days, they're recent purchases and I felt that it would be fun to share with you guys what I've been loving recently !

1. Mint green Balenciaga dupe from TWISTPOLKA

This is a gorgeous new addition to my handbag collection, I fell in love with the bright colour and knew it would be perfect for adding a pop of colour to my outfits. Although most people are not fans of designer dupes, I feel that it's okay to get a designer dupe as it is a lot more affordable compared to the actual brand.

2. IPad Mini case from TYPO

I absolutely had to get this case as it's one of my favourite quotes, and it's a really unique and pretty design.

For the next part of my post I have a huge announcement to make ! (You probably already know from the title, but let's just pretend for a moment :) )

I'M GOING TO FIDE FASHION WEEK !!

I got an invite to the show from the wonderful Willabelle from Pale Division. I am so happy and thankful for this wonderful opportunity, I never imagined that I, Cyan Chng, would ever be able to attend Fashion Week. It's going to be a huge event and there's gonna be so many designers, and I am so honoured to be able to go and be a part of it. And I will definitely be sharing my whole Fashion Week experience here on my blog, so please keep a lookout for that.

School Supplies Haul

Hi everyone ! Happy weekends !

Today I will be doing a haul of all the new items I got for school. On my Facebook, I said I was going to do one whole post on everything school-related, my school supplies haul, organization tips and study tips, but I realised that was a bit too much to be put into one post. So I decided to split things up, I will be doing separate posts for organization tips, study tips and more school-related things. Today, we are starting things off with my School Supplies Haul, I hope you enjoy this haul and I hope you find this useful !

Let's get started !

Sticky notes are essential for school, they are great for taking down short memos and for marking important details you have to take note of. I got all of these from Daiso for $2 per packet.

These are the standard plain design sticky notes that you can get anywhere, I like to get the ones with bright colours because they are super outstanding, whenever I flip a page they always catch my eye because they're so bright ! So I won't miss out on anything important !

If you feel that the simple coloured sticky notes are a little bit too plain and boring, you can get these patterned ones with floral, checkered, and polka dots. I think they're super unique, and very girly. I like to stick them in my notes to make them look more interesting and cute.

This one with the cute little porcupines is my favourite, don't they look adorable? You can find more sticky notes like these at Daiso, they have so many designs and I'm sure you'll find something that you'll love !

Because I don't like my things lying everywhere, I got this box from Daiso to store all the sticky notes. This makes my desk a whole lot neater. Organization tip: You can get a box like this to store your sticky notes, it adds a sweet touch to your desk. And because sticky notes are so small, you tend to lose them easily. Keeping them in a box makes it easy for you to locate them.

Highlighters are another study essential. They really help when you're studying because you can highlight any important details, and then when you're doing your revision you know what are the areas to focus on. I've always loved scented highlighters because they smell so good !
This pack has 4 different scents: orange, strawberry, banana and pineapple. 
The pack of scented markers are from Daiso !

A fun fact to share with you guys ! When I saw these "scented markers" at Daiso, I didn't know they were highlighters, I thought they were whiteboard markers. But when I got home I opened the packet and found out that they are actually highlighters, so that was pretty awesome !

And you all know that we gotta have these things for school, pencil cases ! I got these ones from Daiso too ! Practically all the things I got in this haul are from Daiso. I got myself a pink pencil case with polka dots, and a fluffy light blue one. They are so cute and I can't wait to use them.

I just keep my stationery in these, the usual pens, pencils and highlighters ! Daiso always has cute pencil cases so I like to go there when I need a new one.

The next items in my haul are these notebooks. I find that in school I always need to take down notes, so I decided to get these cute notebooks from Typo. They were super inexpensive, only about $2-$3, and are in the a5 size so they're really handy to carry around.

I also got 2 more notebooks and these are from Daiso. You all know how much I love polka dots, floral and mint green. These were super inexpensive too, $2 each.

These 2 notebooks are in the a4 size. As a size comparison I brought in one of the previous a5 notebooks.

Then I saw these at Typo, and of course I had to get them. They look awesome and I know I would be needing these because I have so many classes, and I need to write a lot of notes.

These notebooks have these pockets where you can put in your sticky notes or memo cards, awesome !

Next I got some clear folders so I can put in any important notes and lecture material that my teacher gives me. I also like to keep my homework in here. These 2 folders are from Daiso.

I also got some binders so that I can keep all my papers organized. Which makes it easier for me to look through all the papers and study material when I'm revising for my exams.

This is the end of my very long School Supplies Haul ! I hope you found some of the tips useful, I will also be doing a separate post where I will have MORE study tips and organization tips !
I will talk to you guys soon ! Have a wonderful wonderful day !
