Taylor Swift - Straight Hair & Bangs

Hair plays an important part not only to girls but to guys as well. Here is an obvious example. Taylor Swift has been spotted with a new hairdo, I believe everyone would think the same. *MY GOSH, I COULD BARELY RECOGNIZE HER* I could not agree more that Taylor looks hawt with curly or straight hair. Time for a NEW HAIR this NEW YEAR.

Food For Thought.

"I do not like when one speaks of the Chanel fashion. Chanel is above all a style. Fashion passes, style remains."

Different kinds of eyelashes give different kinds of results. For example eyelashes with different length like the ones above creates a special look in the eyes. Eyelash above is from SASA. As you can see, falsies opens your eyes and gives you the extra touch of beauty.

Potatoes For Your Eyes.

Slice fried potatoes are not only for snacking but the raw ones can reduce puffiness if placed on the eyelids.

Pit Stop At Bobbi Brown.

Metallic Eye Shadow in Bash 5, last collection from Bobbi Brown. Fell in love with the color and it was out of stock had to wait for a few weeks before I finally acquired it. This color is suitable for day or night use, and its easy to match with. I had a short demonstration of the cleansing oil by the SA and was amazed by the result. It makes my skin soft and not oily after trying it. The SA told me it's due to the ingredient that they used, Olive and Jojoba Oils. It conditions the skin and leaves it feeling soft and supple. Besides that, another main ingredient which is Ginger Root Extract soothes and calms the skin. I shall be demonstrating a make over on the eye shadow soon.

Food For Thought.

*Everyone wants to obtain good looks, don't get too stressed over it. Remember that love for yourself is more important than anything else, because it's what moves you to achieve things.*

The Downsides Of Hot Showers.

Hot showers can damage your skin by drying it out. Try taking a warm shower, and eventually turning the water down to cool. This will help to close your pores after the warm shower. Remember to moisturize your skin after shower with a good skin moisturizer.

Laneige Snow Crystal Dual Base SPF22 PA++

Bought this at Laneige warehouse sales at MidValley. The texture of the makeup base is so light and it gives a glossy finish with SPF22. If you want to look fairer with dewy finishing, this is definately the product you would want to try. Brightener is in cream type and makes it easy to apply and good for highlighting the areas that you want to enhance. I love the smell and the texture of this product. Definatly a good buy I would say.!

My First Shopping Experience In Warehouse Sales.

Woke up at 7.30 and eagerly awaited for the time of shopping to arrive. It was the Loreal Warehouse Sales at Park Royal Hotel, Kuala Lumpur (opposite Sg. Wang) 10am- 7pm and words could not describe how excited I was as it was going to be my first experience.

I can't say that I was shocked to see tones of people waiting in line to head in. Fortunately I manage to get in at 9 and be the first crowd to ransack the place. Shu Eumura counter was pack with people and I was having a hard time to squeeze in and not to mention been step a few times while waiting for my turn to look at the products. Couldn't get any shu brushes *sigh* one of my main product that I wanted to buy. Maybe better luck next time.

All in all I had fun and I can't wait for the next one to come around again.

Time Saver In The Morning.

Have you ever gone through the experience where you had to wait for your girlfriend, your mom, aunt or any women in general before you could leave the house? It seems to be a mystery to most men, but women in general takes longer time to get prepared.

Everyone wants to look their best before they leave the house, but time may not permit it when you're rushing off to work or heading off to an important function. So how do you look good while taking the least time possible?

Here's a few tips which might be able to help you :

Ensure You Do Not Skip Blush

If you have time to apply only one makeup item, choose blush. It instantly makes your complexion lively and healthy.

Pre-Dry Your Hair

You can try these following steps by cutting down on blow drying time:

Step 1: Squeeze excess water out of your hair after showering.
Step 2: Apply the styling products you normally use.
Step 3: Part your hair the way you want to wear it then comb through your strands.
Step 4: Let hair air dry while you do your makeup, drink coffee, dress the kids, etc.
Step 5: Now blow dry -- it should take about half the time.

Prefer Multi-Use Products

You can save a step by using foundation with skin-benefiting ingredients or sunscreen. Apply it with your fingers (make sure they're clean) to blend it in quickly. Bonus tip: "If you can't blend [foundation or concealer] into your skin quickly, it's not the right color.

Make Use Of Your Time Wisely

This is a bit tricky part, try to think about the things that concern you most andI know every part does have its concerns but do enhance more on the eyes area -- do you have lashes that look non-existent without mascara? Or do your barely-there brows make you look unpolished? When time is not on your side, pick one issue to address and spend time on that. You'll be good to go in 30 seconds or less.

Keep a Multi Function Palette Handy

A palette that contains eye, lip, cheek and face products save you lots time instead of using it separately. Another upside it takes the thought out of which products to apply and it will likely fit into your purse or even your back pocket for easy on-the-go touch ups.

Saviour for Acne.

Problem with acne? Worry no more, try this remedy at home. Mash together 1/4 cup fresh strawberries with 1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt, spread on clean skin, let sit for 15 minutes, and then rinse well. Strawberries are a natural source of salicylic acid (the same stuff found in acne products).

Food For Thought.

*True beauty comes from within! Maintain positive thoughts about yourself and others. Be positive inside and you will glow on the outside.*

Laura Mercier - Tinted Moisturizer

I've seen and read about females raving for Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, a very light weight and sheer product with SPF 20. I must say I feel in love with it after trying for almost a week. It is super easy to blend, soft on the skin and very moisturizing without adding grease. It stays on and looks fresh all day. The result is super natural, just like real skin with a subtle glow.
