Matte Red Lipstick Party Season


THE RED LIP LOOK YOU CAN WEAR TO nearly EVERY CHRISTMAS PARTY


Update a classic red lipstick look with a bold, matte hue this party season. There's definitely nothing more passionate than red. Below are some tips to modernising this makeup staple.


First, you want to smooth out the lips with simple sugar scrub (or your toothbrush in a pinch). This will remedy chapped lips for a seamless application.

Next, apply a fiery-red liner, like MAC Lip Pencil REDD in CLEARLY RED, on the entire mouth, followed by your lipstick. 




Use a NYX ; PURE RED ( MLS08) bright red-orange.

Since this look is matte, blot off any excess moisture with a tissue to set.




And to make your red lipstick pop even more, use a highlight on the Cupid's bow, for this highlight, use Make Up Store Eyepencil in Vanilla. You can also use a pencil that's about two shades lighter than your skin tone for a more wearable version. Finally, clean up any smudges with concealer. Pair this over-the-top lip with simply elegant makeup, including a bare face and perfectly groomed brows.

Top 5 Full Coverage Foundation Finishing Powder Combo



Full coverage foundation sounds a bit extreme, but what i mean is the foundation you would wear to someone's wedding or for a night out on the town with the girls — to any special event really. It's heavier than the foundation or tinted moisturizer you might wear to work, and it gives you a flawless, where-has-my-real-skin-gone look. You know the type when you have to wash your face like three times to get it off? That one! We've also got party season beauty front of mind, so there's no better time to talk full coverage. In order to get a heavier application to stay-put, the same beauty rules apply — you need to finish with... finishing powder

Clinique Perfectly Real Makeup

"Thick , blends in really well and has a super subtle shimmer so no need to mix in any illuminator. The oil-free formula is also perfect, awesome."


Clinique Superbalanced Makeup

 "A bit old fashioned, but when a big day that requires solid coverage should always go back to Clinique’s Superbalanced makeup. Love how I can layer it where I need more opacity, but leave it sheer where I don’t."

Mac Cosmetics Sheer/Loose



"Dust this puppy over t-zone for prevent shine and foundation from slipping off the face. It’s super fine, and not too chalky-feeling." 


Revlon ColorStay MakeUp for Normal/Dry Skin

"clear, evenly-toned skin for a big night out. Made for dry skin , doesn’t feel caked on and the colour matches skin tone perfectly. Best thing though, is that it really looks like the user has got a bare face!"



          YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat Foundation

" Thick without being cakey." 






ZARA DECLOOKBOOK

All year it's turned out collections that hone in on my favorite trends — and Zara's last looks of 2012 are just as awesome. Perfectly on-point for the party season — without any festive dressing clichés here — the December line-up is a mix of black and white stripes, sophisticated houndstooth blazers, sequined minis, a touch of plaid, and a hearty helping of leather. It may not be rife with the most obvious choices for party dressing, but a printed t-shirt, statement jewels, and a blazer might just be a cooler alternative to your average Christmas dress anyway . They're also the kind of pieces you'll keep in rotation long after your holiday party .











I totally DIG this. LOVE IT.

Neutral Ground x H&M x PANDORA




Fashion's strongest understatements: brushed khaki, embellished ivory, and textured taupe. Go ahead, get a tan.



Fine-knit cardigan in a soft mohair blend with knitted-in sequins, a V-neck, buttons at the front, and a slit in the sides. 

Chiffon blouse with ties at the top and pleats at the hem and back.

Mesh-knit jumper with glittery threads in the yarn, a round neck, and long sleeves. 

Fine-knit jumper in soft yarn containing some alpaca wool, with a sequined collar and button at the back of the neck.



OK, am color blind, wasn't neutral ground at all. All are PINK. =.= 

Now's a REALLY good month to rock sheer tights – a toasty knit cardigan and leg warmers beats the cold weather. Steer clear of an all-black ensemble – winter’s go-to – with a warm-colored palette of browns and reds and pink!

That's why i'm having such a LIKING for knit cardigan/jumper nowadays. All the H&M knit cardigan/jumper are so soft toned and warmed color. Who can resist them, like seriously.

Some PINK bracelet to go along ?

BRIDLE LOCK ; PANDORA

This item is discontinued. FML please.

20 Beauty tips that will rock the hell out.








My top 20 beauty tips that will rock your world.

1. Your foundation will look only as good as the skin underneath. To get an even, smooth look, cleanse and exfoliate regularly.

2. For a longer lasting foundation, try a product with silicone. The silicone creates a sweat-proof and smudge resistant second skin.

3. If you have sensitive skin and are prone to allergic reactions, make sure you test new cosmetics on a small patch either on the inside of your arm or your neck. If after 24 hours you don’t have a reaction, it is safe to use the product.

4. If you have acne or find you cannot use any skin care products without getting an allergic reaction or dry itchy skin, make an appointment with a dermatologist.

5. A powder bronzer under blush can really even out skin tone. I dab my brush in the bronzer, then into the blush and lightly cover my whole face.

6. For a new bronzer, use a foundation that is two to three shades darker than your skin tone and apply where you would use your bronzer.

7. Papaya mixed with plain yogurt into a paste makes a great exfoliating mask for all skin types!

8. Use an egg white mask for a quick fix for diminishing the appearance of pores.

9. Take care of the skin around your neck as well as your face by applying moisturizer. This is a delicate area which is quick to show wrinkles.

10. Use mascara sparingly. Using too much will make your eyelashes stick together and form into blobs. Dip your brush only once to do both eyes making sure you twist, not pump the brush.

11. No matter how tempting it might be to drop into bed after being out late, don’t do it. Your skin will thank you if you remove all traces of makeup and apply your skin care cream before going to bed.

12. For great looking eyes, make sure to use powder shadows for a natural look and a eyeliner pencil for drama at night. Make sure the liner has a smudge tip at one end to get that smoky eye look. Only line the top of the eye is you’re looking tired. You don’t want to bring more attention to dark circles under the eyes. Neutral tones with a hint of color are flattering on everybody.

13. For sheen on the eyelids, dab a bit of Vaseline for a pretty reflective quality, as well as moisture. Open up the eye with a gold/beige shimmery high lighter onto the brow bone.

14. Don’t throw away cash on an expensive eye makeup remover! Find a pretty glass bottle and fill it with baby shampoo.

15. If your cream eye shadow dries out, use a few drops of water or mineral oil to soften it up again.

16. Potatoes, like cucumbers, will reduce the appearance of dark, under-eye circles.

17. Use blush as a lipstick, then use clear gloss or lip balm over it. Longer staying power.

18. Natural ingredients have been used for centuries as makeup: apply beet juice to lips and cheeks as a stain,or mix it with melted bees wax to make your own lip balm! Cayenne pepper can plump the lips, but use with caution!

19. Use eye makeup remover to treat super dry, chapped lips. It’s a great nighttime lip treatment!

20. Cosmetics do not last forever and using old products can cause irritations. .
BYE!

Color on the Street: Getting Down to Earth Tones




Tokyo is far removed from nature. But this month its fashionistas are borrowing from this oldest source of beautiful colors. Seal Brown, Cedar Green, Oyster. Natural earthy tones are springing up like mushrooms

Bold and shocking colors have ruled almost all year long. But this month i read online that they are starting to see a wave of basic earth tones that feels very refreshing. Colors like Stone and Seal Brown; Cedar, Olive and Vineyard Green; Oyster; Bronze. Used in everything from hats to coats to shoes.
Tokyo is suddenly getting down to earth.
Elegant, cute and classic are the keywords for the new styling. And as a little extra twist, Tokyo’s trendsetters use their hair and make-up to add some bright colors to this reserved and modest look. Red Dahlia dyed hair, a Blue Atoll wig, or lips accented in Mars Red.
It’s a subtle but smart way to bring out the earth tones, and also adds zest and vivacity. Like wrapping a colorful obi around a quiet kimono.
So i brought myself this. :)

Chinese Chicken Fried Rice


The name says it all: One of the most nutritionally dubious white rice combined with the most treacherous technique , frying. For the Chinese people, rice is the staple food in everyday meals. They eat it as Westerners do with bread. Rice is cooked by boiling or steaming, till it absorbs as much water as it can.


1 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
4 scallions, greens and whites separated, chopped
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium zucchini, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 cups bite-size broccoli florets
2 cups mushrooms (preferably shiitake), stems removed, sliced
1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin bite-size pieces
4 cups cooked brown rice
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 eggs, lightly beaten


In a wok or a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is lightly smoking, add the scallion whites, ginger, and garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds. Add the zucchini, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, using a spatula to stir the vegetables throughout. Add the chicken and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, until the pieces are no longer pink.
Stir in the rice and soy sauce and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the rice to get crispy on the bottom. Create an empty space in the middle of the pan and add the eggs. Use a spoon or the spatula to quickly scramble the eggs until light and fluffy, then stir them into the rest of the ingredients. Serve garnished with the scallion greens.

Phewtick Gives You Money, Just for Meeting New People? Or Exploited?

Would like to share an interesting phone's apps which is named as "Phewtick".


Known as " The Meet-up Diary" to make recording everyday meet-ups easy and fun and it is founded by Kazuhiro Naya from Japan.

I do like the concept of this apps because they have the similar concept like Foursquare but this apps can help you make money through meeting your friends by scanning their QR Codes.
There is only 3 simple steps needed to do in order to make some easy money as every 1,000 points is equivalent to $1 which can be claimed via Paypal but there is a limit of $30,000 USD per year as shown picture below.


Basically how it works, you just scan the QR code of the software with your friend and both of you accumulate points. The point can be withdrawn as cash if you accumulate enough of balance of SGD 30.


however, i still can't find the payment proof of it but will give it a try to test whether is scam or not.

Phewtick is ranked 3rd in social networking category in Singapore app store and below was the screen shot of the apps.
Overall it is a combination of a lot of location-based service, matchmaking, gratification and mobile user interface that is totally useless.

Seems like this apps can be exploited  for cash.

Exploit would require a image capturing device beside your own phone, camera or another camera phone for photo taking purposes.

I assume all of you are using Samsung phone, download fake gps from play store. The theory of phewtick is that you need to be at the same location with the person you are scanning, with the fake gps, you can set the location of your friend and ask him/her to send the image over through whatsapp. 

use your extra camera/phone to take the photo and scan it once you changed your location using the fake gps. if it does work. hurray for you then.


Bye.

The struggle with weight, The pressure to be thin.




From high school to homemaker and through childhood to career, women across all ages and cultural boundaries are struggling with the same thing: trying to lose weight. While weight issues affect both men and women, in recent years it has been women who are at the center of the weight loss frenzy.A fitness website that i came across also says that most fashion models are thinner than 98 percent of American women.
While the motivation may be driven by either health or appearance, in recent years the definition of beauty has become synonymous with the definition of skinny..
When you turn on the television all you see are tiny little women showing off their money, power and celebrity. Of course every woman wants to be gorgeously thin because the media shows us that that's what it takes to make it. If you want to be somebody you've got to be skinny.

Women will go to great lengths to lose weight Society has set a standard that women think they have to follow to be beautiful. If that means surgery or starving yourself, if women want it, they do whatever it takes to achieve that perfect body. I am guilty myself of looking at someone and wishing that I was like her or was her size.
I myself also do have this lifelong obsession with fluctuating weight.
There was this period of time I was so obsessed about my weight in some sort of way all of my life, I weighed myself every day.

I've been chubby since about 14? , It was after I started Secondary school that I began to pack on the pounds. I figured it was the lack of exercise and unhealthy school lunches.
Emotions played a big part in my weight struggles . During my first year in ITE , I slimmed down to 46 kg. However, I gained over 10 kg from age 20 yo onwards after a bad breakup. Looking back, I think it was emotional eating and a defense mechanism to make sure I didn't get close to anyone else.
That yellow bitch is me, UGLY.

A lifestyle change is what finally made my weight loss journey a success 
After being overweight all through my teenage years, I finally took control of my weight and health issues, I stopped eating out and stopped making excuses to not go to the gym. I hear a lot of people say that they couldn't give up certain foods, or go to the gym because of whatever reason, but once you reach a certain level of self-loathing, you'll do whatever it takes.

I started working out, running.
After losing 5 kgs over the years, i believe diet and exercise is the healthiest way to lose weight.

With diet and exercise, you're giving yourself a complete lifestyle change that is going to help you maintain your weight and health over a long period of time, My life has changed so much now that I'm eating healthy and getting exercise.



There are a lot of female celebrities who say they lose the extra pounds by going on liquid diets and cleanses. And they are the 1 who influences others to follow.

Fasts and liquid diets are more harmful than they are helpful , i myself tried a fast several years ago. I remember being hungry and tired all of the time. I was hurting myself and I still can't believe I even tried it. It's really hard to believe that celebrities are doing these fasts and cleanses and they're influencing women out there to go to the extremes that they are to get the weight off.

Celebrity diets have brainwashed women into thinking that that's the best way to lose weight We all women want a quick fix. All the ladies want to believe that they can take a magic pill or go on a celebrity cleanse to get the weight off because they don't want to put the hard work into a healthy diet and exercise."
The reactions from other women who watched her lose the weight by diet and exercise was sometimes demoralizing . There was not much support from the women in my life. My co-workers were congratulating me, but I could see the jealous and evil looks they were giving me. None of the women in my life could understand what it was like for me. I not only went through a physical transformation, but a very emotional one as well. I am finally at a point in my life where I am confident and happier than I have ever been. It wasn't an easy journey, but it is one that I am glad that I went on.
Whether we all women lose the weight through diet and exercise or through fasts and appetite suppressant pills, the biggest part of weight loss is going to be the ability to maintain it.
When i first wanted to diet, i want to get the weight off as fast and as easy as i can, i was looking very unhealthy, feeling really tire almost all the time. 



But after losing weight the healthy way..

This is the results. i'm still working hard on getting the toned body shape.

Now i'm weighting 49 kg. :)
Look at my skinny leg that i have managed to maintain.


I know now that because of the hard work I have put into learning how to eat healthier and getting in the gym on a regular basis, I will be able to maintain my weight loss for the rest of my life. I don't worry about the scale going back up again. 


I am in control of my weight now.
