Holaaaa!!! FINALLY ITS HERE!
Okay before you guys start judging and hatin' on me for my horrible bare face, you gotta know that this post is highly requested by many of you and for those who really don't wish to see my face or amateur make up skills, you can exit now :)
Hahaha before its too late and you start freaking out!
Nah im just kidding.
Anyway many of you have requested me to do a few looks and they are mainly the looks I always wear to my outdoor photoshoots or special events and occasions.
If you want to find out how I did my make up for this look, then continue to read and watch the video towards the end!
Haiiiyooooo~~~
I'm back again guys! Today with a Make up VIDEO TOO! So read on if you want to know what's this all about :)
So a few weeks back, I was contacted by the OFES Magazine team, for a feature in their magazine!
But hold up! This is not your normal magazine interview, but they've made the usual boring ones more interesting by adding a surprise element to it. Every issue, they will send a mystery gift to whichever blogger they are featuring, asking them to pair/style the mystery gift however they want. I thought it was such a great idea, made me look forward to it so much more :)
Helloooooo guys!
Here's my everyday make up Video post as promised.
The same thing applies, I am not teaching anything in this video, so feel free to close it if you cannot stand my horrible no-make up face HAHA.
I'm sorry i couldnt upload it to Youtube because of the music I used in the video, some copyright issue :/
Unfortunately because of this, the video can only be viewed via the computer:(
So... Enjoy and here's it for all of you out there that has been asking me how I usually do my make up everyday:)
Products used are pretty similar to the previous video I posted up, except for these few items:
1) Maybelline Brow Pencil in Grey
2) NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny
3) MAC Powdered Blush in Mocha
4) Sephora Powdered Blush in Apricot Sheen no.2
5) NYX Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul
Have a great weekend everyone! YAYYYY ITS THE WEEKENDSSSSS ~
Stay tuned for another entry tonight introducing a new store!

Hello guys!! I'm back with a piece of good news hehehe :)
I finalllllllyyyy got my new camera wheeee, also back with a huge hole in my pocket D:
So yay to more and better quality pictures, hurray!
So here's a quick update on the past two days,
Did a shoot with AWE for their second summer lookbook at a super gorgeous place.
Always loved working with super fun and caring owners like Charlotte (below) because she just doesnt make me feel like i'm "working" at all!
Met the other model, Sipei for the first time too and she's soooo gorgeous *fangirl mode on*
And my first ever OOTD taken with a tripod and a self-timer hehe. Not too bad right?
Check out my instagram for more (@mongabong)
So recently I've been heading down to town to look for Matty to have lunch with him during his lunch hour.
Best girlfriend award goes to ... Hahaha JUZZZ KIDDING.
So what do you guys think of the photos?:)
I'd say matt's ootd taking skills have improved tremendously over the past few months. Hahaahhaa yay to nicer OOTD photos in the future as well *throws confetti*
Also, i'd like to thank all of you guys who bothered to watch my silly video in my previous blog post, and not judge me for it!
Haha it took me quite a while to muster up the courage to do something like that, and even though it's still far from perfect (my face and the video editing skills), I hope to be able to improve on them for my future videos!
Hahaha I agree that i sounded pretty bimbz in there.. but arghhhh sorry guys I have no idea why filming just makes my voice sound more high-pitch.
And it was absolutely not scripted or anything so I was pretty nervous LOL.
Yes, nervous while shooting myself do my own make up at home. Sounds ridiculous but trust me, it's not easy! I wonder how those Youtube Gurus do it all the time.. Hahaha
Give me some ideas on what you guys want to see in my future videos at my Ask.fm okay! It'll be greatly appreciated.
Oh yes! That having said, my Everyday Make Up routine video is currently on the way! So yes guys stay tuned to those of you who requested that EONs ago. Hahaha
I need to stop being lazy hur.
Have a great week ahead guys! Love you all xo

Hola guys!
Since I'm so free now (gotta stay indoors due to the haze), I have FINALLY gotten my ass down to edit the video I shot for you guys.
In fact I have more than one video I'm waiting to blog about but because I'm such a noob at using iMovie, I take 1 million years to edit one vid-.-

I laughed so hard to myself when I heard how everything sounded like whenever I fast-forwarded the clips. BUTTTTT, i don't have a choice!:(
The video was about 20 mins altogether! hahaha I'm pretty sure you guys will get bored of seeing my face for so long.. trying to blend out my foundation/blusher, doing the same motions over and over again. HAHA

Hola guys!
I just shared my workout routine & diet tips with you guys recently and I'm so glad so many of you enjoyed it:) Hopefully my humble knowledge was useful enough!
So today, since i'm not feeling too restless for bed yet, I shall do another blogpost on all the products I use, ranging from skincare to makeup etc :)
So if you're interested, continue reading!
Disclaimer : I have a super annoying skin type. Combination/oily around my t-zone, dry around the sides of my mouth and chin. PLUS, my skin is really really sensitive and many products will cause me to breakout !:(
After many years of trial and errors (at the expense of my skin), I've found the products that are suitable for my skin and have stuck with them ever since.
Firstly, my skin care routine is no other than the usual - cleanse, tone and moisturize. And about twice a week, I'll exfoliate it with a super gentle facial scrub.
 |
| The Loreal Hydrafresh cleanser A really light and refreshing gel cleanser for everyday use |
 |
| Clearskin Oil Balancing Exfoliating Wash by Simple This is one of the most gentle exfoliating washes I've come across over the years |
 |
| Toner by Simple |
 |
| Light Moisturizer by Simple Really lightweight and it's fragrance free! (my skin cant take too much of those) |
On other days when I feel like my skin needs more protection / salvation, I'll use these!
 |
| Moisturizer from Dior's Hydralife series |
 |
| Eye Cream by Dior |
 |
| Facial masks from My Beauty Diary Been using them since a young age and I love how they are good and cheap! I would recommend the Strawberry/ aloe/ Apricot ones:) |
So yes! That's all for skincare that is. Please bear in mind that the things I recommend are solely based on the results shown on my skin. And everyone have different skin types which will react differently to the products!
Next up, Make up! WOOHOO
My everyday make up consists of : Concealor - Loose powder - Brows - Blush - Bronzer - Lip Balm - Basic eye shadow - Mascara - occasionally eye liner.
So here are the make up products I use + would recommend to you guys :
 |
| Pore Putty Face Powder in Tanslucent This powder gives the look of smaller pores and it does not have any colour |
.jpeg) |
| Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder Highly recommend this! It keeps my face SUPER MATTE |
 |
| Loreal Open Eyes Pro Quad I am currently using the one in the old packaging. Affordable and pigmented. Been using it for almost 2 years! |
 |
| Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette Im sure this needs no description as well right? It's a staple that can create a thousand different looks |
 |
| Babylips by maybelline I think this needs no description right? Everyone knows how good and moisturizing this is. Currently using the one in Anti-Oxidant Berry flavour :) YUM |
 |
| Maybelline's Master Liner in Black / Brown This liner has the consistency of somewhere in between a pencil and a gel liner A little water and smudge proof, with the effect a eyeliner pencil would bring. Major love. Im into my 3rd one already! |
I alternate in between about 6 blushes but these are the ones used more often!
 |
| Revlon Photoready cream blush in Flsuhed Super smooth and blendable. Don't be fooled by the crazy bright colors! They are really sheer when applied on the cheeks |
.jpg) |
| Powdered blush in the colour Apricot Sheen 02 by Sephora I love the little gold glitter in there! Acts as a highlighting blush, IMO |
 |
| Mocha by MAC A deep, plum/brown colour Highly-pigmented |
 |
| Maybelline's Magnum Volum Mascara |
 |
| Brow pencil by Maybelline in Grey |
 |
| Maybelline Mineral Concealor in the shade 02 Super smooth and blendable Gives middle coverage |
Oh! And I almost forgot.. Foundation! Hehe although I only put on foundation when I do photo shoots and remove them immediately after. I dont really like how foundation feels on my skin, they feel like they clog my pores up :(
I was using the Elianto's Liquid foundation for a few years (Yeah I know.. A little goes a long long way. Besides I dont use foundation usually!)
 |
| Elianto's Liquid foundation |
However when Elianto stopped selling their products in Singapore, I switched to using Loreal after hearing sooo many good reviews on their liquid foundation.
 |
| Loreal True Match Liquid Foundation in G3 Medium-Full coverage Highly blendable and buildable |
And I'm definitely impressed! I literally use 1.5 drops for my full face make up when I head for shoots. 1.5 drops! Each drop is only probably about 1cm in diameter, im not even kidding.
Although I have shoots so often now, I think this one bottle is gonna last me for about 2 years LOL.
The only downside to this foundation is that I'll tend to get a little oily after say.. 1 hour or so after application? However this isn't a problem for me because I know I have oily skin by natural so I would say that it's pretty normal!
Just make sure to always have a pack of blotting sheets in your purse ALL THE TIME, and it will do the trick :)
So yes! This is all for all the make up products I use.
As for hair.. you guys won't even believe me haha! I don't use any product for my tresses at all!
I switch around shampoos and conditioners too often to recommend you guys any, and I dont really mask my hair anymore either.. Too time consuming to just sit in the shower for the products to set in :P
& That's it guys! This post is dedicated to all the girls out there who's been asking me about the products I use. I've listed them all out, specially for you! :)
I hope this post was an informative one, once again, feel free to drop me a question on www.ask.fm/mongabong anytime XOXO

Now for some short updates!
I'm a really happy girl tonight because the shoot I did with TheTinselRack has finally launched! I shouldn't go into details about how I was feeling so starstruck when I was told I was gonna model alongside their model.
Of course i'd say i'm far from the modelling standards of their exclusive models because they are so much more experienced than I am, but altogether, I'm just really grateful to be able to work with one of the most established blogshops in Singapore :)
The ttr team was so nice and caring, which made shoots really fun and interesting.
I just wanna share the joy with you guys! WHEEEEE~
#happygirl93
Don't you guys just love their thumbnails in GIFs? I love them! Haha
Check out their new collection if you haven't :) All credits to The Tinsel Rack.
That's all for the week guys! It's gonna be monday tomorrow and it might be boring and mundane for some of you. Stay strong and hang in there! X
I'll be back real soon, missed you guys :*
P.S I'll be going away for a little while with my family, will be back real soon. Please stay with Smilelikeidiots lovelies ∞❤

Hello dear readers! How are your weekends coming along? Mine's been a real busy one:(
Waking up everyday with a body ache is no joking matter. I guess, my body is really getting a little too exhausted.
What can I do about this? Does anyone know any tips for over-exhausted bodies? Lol D:
I do sleep for more than 6 hours everyday, I hardly even party or drink these days, I drink honey water every morning (what I was told by my parents), but nothing is working ! >:(
Anyhow, this few weeks are gonna be hell and it will only get worse as all the assignments and project deadlines approach.
We can only persevere and pray that our bodies don't fail during this crucial period *fingers crossed*
As promised, I said I would show you guys once I finish re-decorating my area in my study/room:
My stationery drawer which I emptied and cleaned, turned it into my makeup storage hehe
Cupcake stand that I used to store all my shades and arm candies that I wear often.
As for the ones I don't wear that often, I kept them in my boxes collected from MakiSan that I placed in another drawer.
My perfumes
Some of my favourite quotes and photos
A closer picture of my Peace Jewelry hook that tested my construction skills. Hahaha
The parcel was missing the hooks at the back, and I was too lazy to complain and send it back to ask for a new one so I improvised it with a little help from my parents.
Tied it up with fishing lines and drilled a hole at the top of my wardrobe to hang it like a picture frame :)
Kudos to my newly-discovered talent ^^v.
Sunflower that have been with me since Valentines Day in 2007.
As for my fairy lights on my bed, I'm sure you guys have seen it. Yay that's it! Work done finally. hehe super happy and satisfied with myself this time round :)
♡♡♡♡♡
Moving on,
I was recently sponsored this dress by Twotimesdreams.
Their Libson Skater dress in Black
Love how it's super high-quality and comfy! It's superrrrr stretchable too and the fit is WHOAH.
+1000000000 points
It's very difficult for me to find clothes that can actually fit me because of my weird body size, and once I find something that can fit me well, 99% i'll get it. Such a sucker for those kinda things :/
Oh well! Do check out their newest collection if you haven't :)
♡♡♡♡♡
Now for all the random things,
Have you guys checked out 8tracks yet? Its awesomezzzzz (Y)
One of my new favorite playlist.
Random baby photos on my desk. Heh
Went for Lena's with bay and Gid for their 20th month anniversary. Awww :')
OOTD
My impulsive buy yesterday while walking alone in NEX trying to kill time. I swear, I need to stop buying things whenever I'm alone. Hahaha not too good really :(
Anyway I'm such a sucker for clothes that fit, so yep explains why I got this pair of acid wash denim jeans. Haha
IM GONNA MAKE SURE I WEAR IT. YES MONG YOU WILL WEAR IT.
Have a great week ahead everyone!
