  • This past weekend, I had the opportunity to help do "makeup" for one of my good friend, a pageant winner for another pageant she was attending =) When she had asked me, I couldn't help but laugh really hard (ironic isn't it?)and told her that I wasn't good enough yet to do makeup for anyone, but myself. Well, I think I can do decently with foundation, blush, a bit of contour, some eyebrow grooming, but the eyes, the eye shadows are so difficult! Hence, I was not confident at all, but in the end, with the help of a friend, a fellow lover of makeup and beauty, and after a long time, my friend looks pretty good! =)

    • Moral of the story: My eyeshadow skills are horrible, it's 1 thing to be able to do it on myself, my eye shapes, but it's another to do the same thing to another individual. I will practice, practice, blend, blend, and not apply so much color at once!

  • I recently discovered Bloglovin through Nancy's blog and I really like it! Before, I used to read all the updates of the blogs that I followed with the google reader or through the blog updates from blogger, but I like the layout of Bloglovin more. It's a great way to organize your favorite blogs, follow them, like them, and it's good to be expose to other blogs in other categories, not to mention daily popular posts/blogs =)

  • Through Bloglovin, I was able to find some really awesome, super wonderful makeup blogs that have super high quality photos of eyeshadows! I love playing with eye shadows because the colors are so pretty and you don't know the amazing end results after playing with so many different colors! I also followed foreign bloggers, unfortunately the posts are not in English, but there's always Google Translator!





Gorgeous!

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.

It's been x days of running

This was me roughly 3 weeks ago when I first embarked on my journey to run everyday for 100 days. Before this project, it was difficult for me to complete a 1 mile run or jog, without huffing and puffing, but after 3 weeks, I can make it to 1 mile without wanting to give up. I used to be quite jealous of people who sweat a lot at the gym because I did not have the perseverance to run to the point where I would sweat, I just gave up too easily. People say if you fully commit yourself to something for 100 days, you'll blown yourself away, you might even be really good at it. To be honest, I have not run everyday since I have started, but I have done the best I can within the last 3 weeks. I should be up to 5 miles/run now, but this is the breaking point. I've jogged up to 4 miles (with a walking break after every mile), but my mentality hasn't been there recently. I run at our local community center and I would watch The Big Bang Theory  or Modern Family  as...
