Chronicle of Las Vegas Trip w/ Girl Friends!!

Day 1: 4/11/09 (to be continued)

Four of us girls dropped off by our beloved DHs and kids at San Jose airport around 12:30 PM, there we began our eagerly and self-awarded journey to Las Vegas.

In fact, there was one moment when I waved bye to my 3 children and husband, I felt melancholy leaving them all alone w/o taking them w/ me. But not long after I saw my 3 mommy friends, the sorrowful mood was all gone. I know we are going to rock ourselves in Las Vegas!!!!

It is so funny that four of us don't look like we are going at the same trip to Vegas!!!! lol We laughed at each other and commented on how did each of us look so differently!!! I have the most intact make-ups on but feel that I might pick up the wrong hat lol. Pei didn't have any make-ups since she hardly felt asleep the night before, Irene had only foundation on when she is already the most pale one among us four. Cathy also did full make-ups like me except for her purple-pink lip gloss makes her look like she is in pain or something.lol

I am not so sure about the HAT w/ the look. Maybe I am just being self-conscious!!


Of course we are all confident w/ our nature beauty so none of us really cared how we looked at that moment. To us,
family is our proud other than a job or a pretty look.

But wait and see after we had what we call "
Magical transformation" for clubbing at night in Vegas.


We are waiting for the plane!!


............ 1 Hr 20 Min. later !!! Here we are at 3:10 PM in Vegas!! ............

Me and Cathy at Venetian hotel's lobby!


OMG, you can't imagine how excited we are!!


We 4 girls stayed in a suite w/ double queen beds.


We girls unpack our luggage, get dressed and put make-ups on!!!!!


I am bored while waiting for my gals, so I did self-timing shooting for my ODJ.


We had to run some errands before we are ready for tonight's big crash!!! It is hilarious that Cathy brought almost everything w/ her including her dryer, flat ironing and even curl ironing but her tooth brush. She is so worried that she is unable to brush her teeth at first night in Vegas. hah......I guess it has been a while since the last time she had a real vacation!!!!!! :P Irene has to return something in Zara while Pei has to check out couple things in JCrew. See!! It is so convenient traveling within USA!! Me? Nothing specifically, I always pick up something while shopping w/ my girls. lol Therefore, we went to
Fashion Show Mall for our first stop in Vegas!!!

Irene carries her Chanel jersey flap this trip while I carry my matte white reissue 227 w/ me.


We are flat twins...TOD'S!!


The weather is so nice in Vegas. We all think there are less people visiting Vegas compared to before. Economic recession????!!


First night, we booked our dinner at Picasso French restaurant at Bellagio Hotel whose chef received AAA Five Diamond Award. We girls took a cab from Venetian Hotel to Bellagio Hotel since it is only $10 w/ tips total.

This is my dinner and clubbing outfit.

1. TOP: 3.1 Phillip lim sequins halter style top
2. Bottom: Orange Boss white mini jean skirt
3. Shoes: Jimmy Choo water snakeskin boots
4. Chanel mini caviar flap w/ silver HW
5. Chanel 09 pink camellia earrings w/ pearl drop



I love Cathy's sexy leggings and Manolo heels.


Everyone is looking fabulous!!!



The dinner is reserved for us about 7:30 PM but when we arrived in restaurant it is already 8:30 PM. They didn't cancel our reservation as most people would prefer to dine at buffet restaurant when visiting Vegas. I also assume there is no other people waiting for a table at that time. We can pick from Chef's special 4 courses meal or prefix 3 courses meal.

The setting inside the restaurant is very nice. The waiters are so friendly and professional. There are so many fresh, beautiful flowers surrounding the whole restaurant and I think that's one of the attraction in Bellagio Hotel.

Wish there are beautiful flowers in my house everyday too.



We girls were starving so we asked the waiter to bring some bread over first. They have french baguette, raisin walnut (sweet), onion bacon, and another kind of walnut bread which is salty flavor. We are actually half way full after 2nd courses and too much tasty breads, but we know we can't skip our delicious entree'.

This is my main course, lamp chop!! Yum!!


First dinner was wonderful and memorable!!



We took pic. w/ the Chef after dinner and each of us got a treat-homemade cookies from the restaurant!!!

The chef is so passionate!!


Irene is so sexy w/ shorts and L.A.M.B. heels while Pei looks so adorable w/ yellow dress and green beads necklace.


They even let me grab a stem of hydrangea home.



Before we head to
Tao club in our Venetian Hotel, we stopped by Chanel boutique. I got something small for myself. It, in fact, is a pair of hosiery!! My girls want me to return it since hosiery are easily to be snagged but I just can't resist the Chanel logo CC at one side of the stocking!!!!!! lol

A treat from Picasso restaurant and a glamorous souvenir from Chanel.


We went to Tao around 12 AM!! We are in guest list since we are also hotel guests. I would say we are quite "mature" in age compared to the majority guests in Tao. But no one would ask your age in a night club, right?!!! :P We girls danced and drank till 4 AM. I think I danced quite obvious w/ my sequins top and "restless"-- non-stop, as someone gave me 6 complimentary drink passes!!!!!!!!!!! lol That was only the first night in Vegas!!

Haul: MAC Double Dazzle

Hi Beauties,

I happened to be around a MAC today (ahemm...yeah right!) and I tested some of the new Dazzleglasses. The colors are sooo gorgeous! I really don't need more lipgloss but I just couldn't resist. I bought 2 since I want to start practicing MAC-self-control.

So here they are: I don't have a swatch of the Utterly Posh color because I didn't think I was going to post this.




Have you picked up any yet? What do you think about them?

XOXO,
Awilda

Glitterati

With my love of anything sparkly I was excited to try out Sleek's (available in Superdrug) newest product- Glitter Dip It liners, please check out their website here.

These come in 5 different shades and at £3.42 each are quite the bargain! The brush applicator is thin enough to draw a precise line, which is important as it gives you enough control. The formulation itself is clear and is infused with small glitter particles with light-reflective pigments. Once these babies dry they do not smear or transfer, which is very good news!

I find these very similar to Urban Decay's heavy metal liners, but these are of course a fraction of the price and have smaller glitter particles (UD always lets us down with the chunky monkey glitter, especially in their e/s, but that is another story!).

Swatches without and with flash (note: these are very generous!).
From Left to Right:
Ice (Silver), Steel (Charcoal), Caribbean (Blue), Gem (Purple) and Diablo (Pink).

My favourite way to wear these to brighten up a look is just along the upper or lowerlashline to add subtle sparkle :).

Sugarsweet


Straight after the Body Shop event I am sure you have all heard a lot about I rushed to MAC to purchase the sugarsweet collection. Unfortunately as I have been away in the countryside, sans my beloved laptop and reliable internet connection, I was unable to post these photos.

I am sorry these are so late, but here is my take on the collection ie. NOT inspired by the horrible promo image.. really MAC, you should know better!
Cheeks:
Perfect topping MSF
Well dressed blush

Eyes:
Aquavert all over lid
Club in crease
Stars'N'Rockets on lower lashline
L'Oreal Voluminous mascara

Lips: Bubbles and Saint Germain
