Farewell 2013!

This year has been a roller coaster year! I've had my fair share of ups and downs but I think it's one of the most memorable year as I learnt and experienced much.

I only made a few resolutions this year and I'm so glad I achieved all of it =))

I did many things I never thought I could do and I am also thankful for all these experiences. Embarking into adulthood is no kidding but sometimes you've just got to suck it up and be strong. That's my 2014 resolution! To be strong and independent.

Hopefully 2014 will be a better year =) That's in a few hours time.

Are you excited for 2014? hehe
Happy New Year 2014 dear readers! Here's to a better year ahead!

Christmas 2013

Wow, the year's coming to an end and Christmas is tomorrow :o
Time really flies! This Christmas is definitely different from the rest of the years. Ever since I started being really busy, there was no time for any preparation. I didn't have much time for Christmas shopping, so everything was done last minute and the Christmas spirit haven't even sink into me yet >.<

Perhaps tomorrow when I go for church and the family gets together, the true spirit of Christmas will come alive. The opening of presents still makes me giddy =p Looking forward to that and to all the food that I'm gona wallop!! Anyhow, wishing all you readers a Blessed Christmas and to those not celebrating, Happy Holidays!!

Nail it with Bloop

This is the continuation from the previous post. In the Hishop package, there is also a nail strip by Bloop!




Simple instructions given at the back.


Just put it on and file the edges of your nail and..


Wa-la! Colourful finger nails.


Right hand.

Left hand.

Bloop nail stickers are abit too colourful and are not consistent in their patterns. In one package you'll have many patterns for two hands. Some may like it, some may like consistency in patterns in all ten fingers. But different people has different taste I guess and it really depends on what kind of patterns you like.

If you're the kind that loves experimenting, get on with Bloop nail strips and have fun with all the colourful patterns =)

This is a collaboration with Hishop so you can get your Bloop nail strips in Hishop for RM38 for three packs of nail strips.

Start experimenting with nails today especially during the festive season!

HiShop x Bloop

I know I haven't been updating frequently as of late >.< I've been super duper busy ever since I started working. Christmas is around the corner and I haven't had the time to pamper myself. But, look what arrived for me when I came back home one day...


Bear Bear presented my HiShop gift box hehe


Can't wait to see what's inside.


Yay! Now I can pamper my nails for Christmas with Bloop nail stickers and nail polish!


I have never done toe stickers before so I'm giving it a try.
I have been used to finger nails stickers but toes are a bit tricky because they are short and small.


Just follow the steps shown behind.


The colourful designs and a nail file.


Ta-dah!! I fumbled a bit because my toe nails are short and therefore there was a lot of cutting and measuring to do before I can stick it on and file it.


But not bad lah for a first timer hehe.
As you can see, there are different designs on the toes because they don't have a standard type.
So, if you're not into colourful, you may want to choose a different design.


Next up, is the nail polish from Bloop as well.

Carefully wrapped with bubble wrap so that it will not be damaged during delivery.


It's gona be pink nails for Christmas =)


-Quick Dry
-Ultra Glossy
-Long Lasting


Colour number H124 from the Pink Me Up series.


Not watery and can easily glide on nails.


The end result. Very impressed with this polish.
Glossy pink nails.


It only took 10 seconds to dry up and after that I could continue doing my work.
I don't even have to put a top coat because it's already glossy looking.
Loving my nails <3

Natta Cosme Charity Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund

As you guys know, Typhoon Haiyan was the strongest typhoon ever recorded in history with a maximum wind speed at 315km/h that blasted Philippines, washing away thousands of valuable lives, half-a-million of the Filipinos’ homes and affecting more than ten million of Filipinos.

In Natta Cosme, they strongly believe that absolute beauty does not stem solely from the external perfect skin, the internal beauty expressed through various kind acts is equally crucial to show your unique gorgeousness as well. Natta Cosme has been committing to the meaningful line; life gives to the giver and takes from the taker. The less valuable things you are having may mean the world to others; by contributing to others tiny things you have, you will be rewarded in some other ways.




Natta Cosme came up with a Charity Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund.
They are two ways where you can contribute:


By purchasing any of these selected products where 100% of the payment will go to the charity fund.
If you choose this option, you will get Natta Cosme Chinese New Year angpau packets for free.

OR

By simply donating RM10 without any purchase of products.
If this is your preferred option, for every donation, you will get a free gift.


All of the donations collected from you will be transferred to FoGuang Shan Malaysia on February 2014 after it is calculated and compiled and FoGuang Shan will transfer the fund to the Philippines. To prove the sincerity and honesty of Natta Cosme in organizing this event, they will publish the receipt of donation from FoGuang Shan Malaysia on their Facebook page.


It's as easy as that and all for the sake of charity.
Very kind of Natta Cosme to come up with this charity fund and thanks to the Butterfly Project for spreading the news!
Do good and chip in to the fund =)

Long Sleeve gown fever

I wrote about the long sleeve trend on the red carpet sometime last year.

Somehow, the long sleeve fever is still in and haven't died down. Celebrities are still donning this style.

Nicole Richie in Naeem Khan.


Naomi Watts in Zac Posen.


Eva Longoria in Emilio Pucci.


Emmy Rossum in Zuhair Murad.


Inspired by them, I wanted to have a try at a long sleeve gown as well.
For a dinner and dance night, I decided to don my very own black sleeved dress.

#outfitofthenight aka #ootn
Since it was plain, the slit was the highlight of the dress that added a little 'X' factor to it.
You know what? Covered as it may, I really like the fitting of the dress and a sleeved dress can be sexy as well =)

Hopefully, this trend will continue to live!!

Paul Walker died??

Oh no!! Another tragic celebrity's death ='(

This time it's the handsome Fast and Furious star, Paul Walker. So sad to hear that he died in a car crash today.

RIP Paul Walker!


This goes to show how short life can be sometimes >.<
A constant reminder to all of us.
