A New Journey

I am back! Excuse my absence for the past week or so, I miss you guys so very much!!! I have been super busy with packing and relocating back to Asia. My new journey has started for 4 days already yet I still feel lost in time and direction. Yesterday I finally have time to prepare a look that I long to try and that is pop art makeup look! Pop art have always been a source of inspiration for me, if you check out my looksoup page (here), you will see how many pop art I've collected. For this look, I use a small round tube from an eyeliner to create the outline of the round dots and I use the white cream color from Make Up For Ever Flash Palette to fill in the dots. I purposely enlarge my lips and eyes with a black outline to make myself look more comical. Hope you like it!


What I am wearing:
Leather Jacket - Unknown
Plaid Shirt - Abercrombie & Fitch
Shorts - American Eagle
Men's belt - Urban Behavior
Shoes - Forever 21 

Diesel Bag - Diesel

Swan


All of your kind comments are like this beautiful sunset to me and I have nothing to say but THANK YOU! 

Enough with the serious talk! I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend because I sure am as you can see from my inactivity in the last few days :b I have brought to you two more tutorials of how to achieve beautiful bright red lips as well as black cherry lips, both colors are one of the biggest fall lip trend. If you are one of my facebook likers,  you have probably seen this but I have also include full details of the tutorial. Enjoy!

 Before you start, please always apply lip balm to moisturize your lips! As you can see from this tutorial, I totally forgot to do so and my lips are dry as potato chips! For better moisturizing effect, I would recommend to apply lip balm the night before as I find my lips are extra moisturize the follow day! A great lip balm that I would recommend is definitely Clinique's superbalm lip treatment.

1. Once you done the lip care step, we can start by using a lip liner (NYX 09 Ruby retractable lip liner) and outline your lips

2. Apply bright red lipstick (Wet n' Wild 909D lipstick) within the areas of your lip outline

3. To make my lips a little plump, I always like to add a little bit of lip gloss in the center of my lips with a lip liner brush. I rarely do lip gloss to my entire lips because I find it looks too sugary and another problem I always encounter is on windy days, my hair love to stick to my glossy lips!

 1. Since I can't find a black cherry lip liner, I used a lip liner brush to outline my lips with the same black cherry lipstick (Wet n' Wild 522A lipstick) instead

2. Apply the black cherry lipstick all over your lips

3. Gloss it up but only at the center of your lips to create the lip plump effect and you're done!

Hope you like my tutorial! Enjoy!


I also brought you a new look of mine. This new look is inspired by my white fur vest. Let me know what you guys think :)

False eyelashes - bought from eBay, repainted my black falsies to a white one with Make Up For Ever Color Cream

Triple Eyes

I find I have been blogging a little too much of makeup so today I switched back to the fashionista side of me and brought you a new look! This makeup look is inspired by a childhood anime. Although I cannot recall its name, I do remember vividly that the main character has three eyes. 

Weird inspiration but here it is:

Guess in my world, everyday is Halloween!

 What I am wearing:
Leather jacket - Gifted
Plaid shirt - American Apparel
Sweater - H&M
Shorts - Forever 21
Leggings - Unknown
Shoes - Aldo
 




As I mentioned earlier, I will be a full time blogger for the next couple of weeks which also mean that I am free to do whatever I want including to my hair. So, I turned it into ombre color! How do you like my new hair color?


Thank you all for the sweet comment! 

Have a wonderful evening!

Choosing the right wedding dress



Advertisement


Congratulations, you’re getting hitched! This ceremonial and joyous time is usually kicked off with one major task - finding the right dress.

Finding the right dress can be time consuming, stressful and troubling which is why Berkertex and other brands stock a range of dresses suitable for all occasions, making them a great first port of call for deciding what type of wedding dress you want – although there are plenty of other things to take into account too.  

Consider the shape that would compliment your features most and give thought to what works best for you. Finding the right shape to flatter your figure is essential and should be one of the fundamental considerations for a bride to be.  

Hourglass Shape

Hourglass shaped ladies are balanced in proportion across the top and bottom. Women with hourglass figures might want to consider a fishtail dress, which hugs both the top and bottom elements of your body. The key to dressing an hourglass figure is to pick a dress that accentuates your waist, showing off your best assets.

A two-piece gown could be ideal for women with this figure. It could be worth avoiding any extravagant embellishments on the chest or hips as they are already balanced and this could end up interfering with this.

 Triangle Shapes

Triangle shaped ladies are wider across the top than the bottom. This means that your hips could be narrower than your shoulders. One way to avoid looking like a triangle would be to add a sweeping neckline. This look works well to cover up wider shoulders.

Puffed sleeves should be avoided as this will draw attention to your shoulders. Halternecks will also help to reduce the look of broad shoulders so dresses with this neckline could be a good option.

Detailing around the neckline and lapels will accentuate your shoulders, enhancing the triangle shape. Such embellishments should therefore be avoided.

Apple Shapes

Apple shapes are top heavy and tend to have less emphasis on the bottom half of their body. Empire line dresses are great at hiding a bit of a tummy and give your waist a slimmer look. 

Ball gown shapes work well for those with apple figures as they create a statement hour glass look that exudes elegance and sophistication.

My Very First Features!!!!!

I am thrilled to share with you all my very first features! I have no intention in showing off, but simply wanted to share my joy with my readers along to my friends who read my blog and here they are:

I was featured in Fashion Space, it is a social publishing platforms that allows you to style your own looks and also get inspirations from looks that others created. Awhile ago, I received an invitation from Qin of Qin at the Disco to be one of the style contributors of Fashion Space. Since then, I have started creating outfit looks. Recently, I received an email from Qin telling me that they have featured my look on both their website and facebook page :) Thank you Qin!

By random chances, I was also featured in VancityBuzz, a very famous blog for the Vancouverites to get inside scoop of what's happening in Vancouver. The other day I was heading to meet my boyfriend in downtown, a girl came up to me and introduce herself as one of the photographers from VancityBuzz and would like to take a picture of my outfit of the day. So, here I was randomly featured on their blog. I know I look extremely retarded with my awkward smile on but please bare with me as I was a bit excited mix with a bit nervousness at that time.

 Oh and remember how I said I forgot a piece of very important statement bracelet for my neon madness post here, this is the spike bracelet I was going to wear for that look but forgot to wear it! Boo me!

Enough with my features, today I feel like seeing myself in blonde hair so I came up with this blonde look. I always have a thing for blonde hair and blue eyes since I was very little. I even bleached my hair to blonde colour few years back and wear blue contacts everyday. How I love those days! I quit bleaching or dying my hair now since I am losing so much hair and I don't want to see myself turn into a bald woman! I have to say though, one good thing about having little hair like me is my hair grows back super quick!


 What I am wearing:
Plaid shirt - Abercrombie & Fitch (bought it on sale for less than $15!)
Colour block skirt - Forever 21
Necklace - Forever 21
Nude pumps - BCBG
Jacket - Random shop in Taipei



My latest favourite necklace!



 I can't thank enough for the kind comments! By the way, my hives are gone! Thank you kindly for the heart warming comments.

Have a fun-filled evening, everyone!
