AOTD #1

Accessories of the day!

Now theres something different for you guys! =P So today is actually a very normal day and I was actually at work for most of it, however I did have the inspiration to dress a little less bleh and more yay so heres a few bits and pieces I came up with.  The outfit itself was very boring i.e A navy blue batwing shirt with vest top underneath and a pair of grey jeggins and black ankle boots.  Nothing special.  Heres where the magic happens...

My hair was screaming BORING! So I added a headband (which i normally actually wear as a necklace) to vamp it up a bit.  The ring was from Primark, a lovely armour ring that wasnt ridiculously overprices *cough* Topshop *cough*.  Lastly was just some collar tips so I could get away without wearing a necklace (not practical for working).

So all in all I was actually quite happy with my outfit today and would probably wear this out to somewhere a bit more special soon , ya know give it some loving and less chop suey smelling! Haha those of you that are chinese and work in a takeaway will know exactly what I mean.

OOTD ft double denim

Just got inspiration to do a quick outfit of the day as todays weather was so AWESOME!
This outfit is nothing special but it is the first time I have sported double denim and also a bright pink lip to bring the whole outfit to life a little bit more.  I think the pink lips just adds a pop of colour to an otherwise quite bland colour palette im wearing. Enjoy!

 

My Yesstyle Boots <3

 Nail of the day! Inspired by the movie 'Up'.  The blue sky and balloons in the air.

 

Tried to add a close up picture in to get a closer look of the bright lip I was sporting. 

Will be wearing this lip colour all through spring/summer now!

P.S Just wanted to say sorry for the rigid/stiff posing I am not a natural when it comes to full length photographs and as I do more of these OOTD posts I will hopefully get better! 

Hope everyones had a chance to enjoy the amazing sunshine today! The sun always puts me in a good mood and now I have to go back to doing essay work =[ tempted to take a cider into the back garden and 'work' there!

One for the boys and girls.

Product Rave

Hallo guys! Its been a while since I last posted and I don't really know why lol, just lost motivation and I am currently procastinating TTM! Hope everyones been well and I hope I start finish this god damn essay soon!

Anyways moving onto the main point of this blog post (other than letting people know I am still alive) I have a new found shower lover and wipe those dirty thought outta your minds because this thing is the furthest from dirty you could get. Literally. 

Voila!

Boots Expert build up removal shampoo. 

Seriously guys and girls this stuff is what you need in your life if you:
- Regularly use product in hair i.e hair wax, gel , clay, hairspray, mousse etc
- Feel like your hair is never fully clean
- Have hair that feels weighed down even after you have washed it
- Want squeaky clean, weightless hair!

Now I would recommend using a silicone free conditioner if you normally put conditioner all over your head (i.e roots and ends and everything inbetween), if you just condition the ends of your hair then you can keep using your normal conditioner and if your a guy I dont even think you need conditioner after using this as my boyfriend used this and his hair was super soft without conditioner (his hair is normal-dry I would say).

I know my boyfriend loves this shampoo because it really makes it feel super clean after using hair product every day and also from working.  I would only recommend using this product once a week in order to get maximum results from this ( I also assume that it can be quite drying on the hair and it strips your hair from all the extra silicones that some conditioners leave in your hair).

Even though I dont use much hair products in my own hair I still see amazing results from this shampoo as my hair (and most asian hair) is quite fine and can get weighed down pretty easily by heavy/rich shampoo and conditioners.

TRY IT!

Picture diary from Chinese New Year!

Just a quick update, feeling like crap atm >___< blame hormones, the X chromosome, the Y chromosome species also and that time of the month. Actually tried so many painkillers (even taking lots at the same time - obviously only those which can be taken together) and its failed to budge this stupid sore tummy!  I mean what else can it want? I give it like day long massages everyday and it doesnt even show any grattitude! Whats that all about?! Hmmpppphhh ...

Anyways before I get too carried away and start a blog post long ramble about how I am a crabbit crab atm I shall shut up and get on with the point of this post, just some quick pictures taken during cny!

TAG: 7 Deadly Beauty Sins

GREED - What is your most inexpensive beauty product? What is your most expensive?
- My most inexpensive beauty product which I use everyday/regularly would be my eyebrow pencil from Sasa in HK costs about £2.
- My most expensive beauty related product would have to be my straightners that were around £100.  GHD's the blue limited edition ones when they came out with four colours, fair enough I didnt purchase these myself as it was a birthday present but still is the most expensive beauty product I have.. i think..


WRATH - What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What has been hardest to find?
- I have a love/hate relationship with primer, like face primers because they always seem like a good idea and I always want to use one but then on the skin it always seems to make my makeup feel really cakey and I dont like the way it sits, it just really annoys me :/
- I dont really have a product which I found hardest to find, probably my Dr Jart BB cream that I had to search like 6 sasa stores to find (ironically the one closest to me all along had it) or this YSL lipstick which I literally went to like 4 counters before they had the one I wanted in stock.  I do really want this Laura Mercier highlighting illuminator though which is proving very hard to find (at a reasonable price).


GLUTTONY - What are your most delicious beauty products?
- Delicious? :S thats a bit weird haha I dont normally eat my products... lol but probably the product which tastes the best would be my clarins lipstick, its really weird, doesnt actually taste like anything but on the smells because of the way it smells it smells soo good haha it smells like grapes :)


SLOTH - What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?
- Again this could be face primer and also sometimes I only take my makeup off with face wipes and dont like use a face wash, which I know isnt good for the skin but I get a bit lazy sometimes :P


PRIDE - What beauty product gives you more confidence?
- I would have to say some sort of face product such as my bb cream, foundation or concealer.. or mascara.


LUST - What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
- Not sure if this means physical attributes or more like personality things, but tbh I think someone is attractive to you if their personality also attractive.  I think when guys are caring and like notice smaller things is very attractive, they have to be gentle-manly and well mannered also. Nothings a bigger turnoff than a rude person :/ even if they were the best looking guy ive ever seen.


ENVY - What item would you most like to receive as a gift?
- Im quite easy going when it comes to gifts, Id love to recieve the Laura Mercier powder ive been wanting for ages, but id also be happy with a bunch of balloons as a gift =] Im just a little  bit weird like that ;)

Happy New Year! + Wishlist + 10 pan over!!!!!!!!!!

H A P P Y    N E W   Y E A R   ! =]
Hope all my fellow yellow friends and family are having a great time doing allsorts of family things and celebrations, eating losts of yummy food or getting very drunk on wine/drinks!

This year it actually feels more like new years to me, not sure if its because of the fact that my parents aren't working atm and they are spending their full time with us to celebrate, or the fact that I have recieved more lucky money than usual :P haha.  I had a lovely family dinner/get together in Fife on Sunday night and today I've just had dinner with my close immediate family.  With plenty more celebration plans ahead in the next few days im really in this festive mood! (is festive even appropriate to describe cny? :/ ) Anyway hope all of you whom care to spend some time here are also happy and I wish you all the best for the upcoming year!




Thought I would quickly add in my wishlist at the moment as I will probably get some of these items with my new years money !

In no particular order ... (well actually I lie, this first one I want the most lol)

- Laura Mercier Rose Rendezvous illuminator : ahhh yes the limited edition highlighter that was sold out all over the world in the matter of days! Ofcourse I want this, who doesn't want it? :o However due to popular demand (this sentence sounds like something out an essay soz) its only availible on Ebay for like triple the orginal price which was £31 for those that are interested.  The cheapest I've found online is for £59. 

- Two Faced Naked Eye Eyeshadow Palette : My friend has this and I really want it for like two particular colours haha, because of that I have delayed buying it for so long! Can't justify £22 for two eyeshadows.. right?

- Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette : tbh I am just waiting for this to be availible in Boots before I get it, as I get a discount on it :P

- Benefit They're Real Mascara : It is the mascara i have been using for a while, but over my 10 pan project time its dried up and obviously I couldnt buy another :P Pretty sure this will be one of the first things I pick up :) although swithering if I should go back to some drugstore favourites as they last longer and with a few extra coats (and less time in bed :@) I can get the same results


Also , IM FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Project 10 Pan finally done! So happy and so glad I done it, once i treat myself to a few beauty products I shall be on another, as I still have too much makeup for my own good!

For those that want to know what I finished up ...
- Dr Jart BB Cream
- Garnier Pure 3 in 1 face wash (friends and family that have oily/acne prone skin.. GET THIS)


Thanks for reading ! =]

YANO - Jan '12

YAAAAAY

- Shellac/gel nail , nothing more annoying than chipping nail polish and having to reapply every few days! Say yes to proper industrial (almost) nails that last upto 2 weeks.
- Chinese New Year ! Spending time with family, days of eating good food and recieving lucky money! :P Whats not to like? NOTHING.
- 20% off student discount shopping atm, girls get shopping this weekend before it ends, the shops that I know are doing this atm are Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge.


NAAAAAY!

- When somethings limited edition and no longer availible apart from on ebay for 3 times the original price. Not cool.
- Even worse when im still contemplating buying it... (must not! must not! must not!)
- Overly foamy toothpastes, I mean whats with that? It feels weird in the mouth and not cool if your brushing your teeth infront of your partner/friends/family.  Looking like some sort of rabies infected creature was only mildly attractive/amusing when we were in nursery!
- Nautical trend.  I mean seriously? This trend comes back every year without fail for spring/summer gets really old and repetitive. (Dont hold this against me when im sporting a nautical themed number in the summer please haha).  I think actually this only annoys me because its like forcing summer upon us even though its still winter jacket + wellies weather, just rub it in our faces that we cant prance around in short shorts and sailor hats! (not that I own a sailer hat...)
