My current style inspiration! IU (Lee Ji Eun) in Pretty man/Bel Ami (yippeun namja / yebbeun namja)

Currently I find IU so so cute. Especially in short bob hairstyle which coincidentally enough, we are having almost the same hairstyle. Although mine has grown out A LOT and i ain't planning to cut it back short as I have so much styles i want to be styling myself in ever since I work in a hair salon. Having short hair is not helping as i have had so much inspiration to do so many hairstyles and my medium length does help just a little and having short hair just limiting my choice on hair styling. 


So on this very Merry Christmas Day, I decided to be inspired to recreate the look of Kim Bo Tong (IU) on myself as I really love how she look so cute in every scene and episode of Pretty Man! I just couldn't get over how attractively cute she is! So let me show you my recreated look of Kim Bo Tong! 



I did not edit it to let you see the real deal of the makeup and hair that I did! Overall I'm very happy with the results! And also currently i am really into korean makeup styles as I have asian eyes and kpop makeup is more suitable for my eye shape. 


Just a short update on my blog as it is quite dead! HAHAHA!

#NNWORKSHOP

I am a sleeping blogger but after going to the nuffnang first ever workshop, has totally motivated and inspired me so much to keep my blog updated as much as possible! Firstly i love blogging and just couldn't find the inner urge to blog about anything unless its worth sharing. After going to the workshop i've met amazing people and most of all amazing bloggers which gives great opinions and advice. Couldn't feel more productive than yesterday! It makes me think about ways to improve my blog and explore blogging at a more thorough degree. As it is not just a blog but it is a place where you can share posts that can help others in many ways and even help improving oneself in many ways to success in their own future career or finding oneself!
I was too immersed in the talk that i didn't really take a lot of pictures. :( But still i did manage to take a few which can give you a little insight of what it's like, the set up which was totally warm and comfortable and lastly great ambiance with great audience.It's held at Upstairs at the Ritzy, Brixton Oval, London which is the first event by Nuffnang UK and i am honored to be able to get the opportunity to be in it!
The talks were so inspirational and keep giving me ideas on how to improve and mostly give me more strength to try more diversion and varieties of thoughts that i have to improve this blog. Although i only managed to have a little networking with quite a few of the bloggers and even representatives who all of them are so sweet and great people with so much passion in them on their job!

I din manage to get a picture of Jen and Elizabeth :( 
Hopefully there will be a next event pretty soon and we can have amazing meet up like this again! 

After the #NNWorkshop we went to the crafty fox market which talented and skillful individuals selling their amazing and beautiful crafts! Although i din get to find any that interests me too much but it was totally worth browsing through and just realize that there is such talented people who are just selling their talent 
and skill with so much effort put into each piece of craft!

And now i have going through all the crafts that i browsed through i totally know where to find unique presents and gifts for any occasions!! :DD so happy that i dun have to worry about buying something from the retail which of course you might end up buying something which the one you will be giving the present to realize how much and where and most importantly which the higher possibility that most people have it! This workshop totally give me more choices and to buy from local talented people!

That is it for the first part of my DAY on last saturday on the 7th Dec 2013. :))

VASELINE!




I know I am very slow but I just recently found out a beauty remedy that will leave you amazed by how fast you can achieve the best results of soft and bouncy skin! 
All this come from the never gets old remedy by VASELINE petroleum jelly!
I used to think Vaseline is too oily and it never absorbs to the skin and makes you feel all oily and greasy but due to this cold and chilly and very much dry weather though there's always rain weather, i decided to use a small 1p size Vaseline and added to my all time favourite moisturizer (Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing gel) and just mixed it and just applied it all over my face and not surprisingly it was so so greasy and yucky feeling once i applied. 
I was testing it as an experiment whether it will either break me out real bad or it will turn out as oppose to my 1st conclusion, that is my skin will be baby-soft like as it is a very very moisturizing gel. I was not scared of risking my face, but i did numerous research on Vaseline and most of it wrote that it is not a good choice when it comes to using it as a moisturizer as it is too moisturizing and thick and will block the pores. 
So me being myself don't really trust all that until i see it for myself, PROVEDMERIGHT! 
BECAUSE it turns out TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! 
it was the best moisturizer EVER! (added to my usual moisturizer that is)
Because i have oily and combination skin and added Vaseline to it was the best choice i ever made and i will so do it for every night as a night time moisturizer! 
After i left the greasy and yucky feeling moisturizer on, in a few hours it was all absorbed to my face and the greasy feeling starts to fade and the next morning it does feel very oily on the nose but once I washed my face (with only water) and i can totally see the difference with one use! 
My face totally become softer and much more bouncier than before! 
SO after using it for a week, i decided to share it with my readers who follows up with my blog and help you readers to achieve better skin with a SO MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE BEAUTY REMEDY! 
Thank me later after you give it a try! :)

And not to forget to put it on your lips too before going to sleep and it will leave you with the softest lips and prepped you for the day with soft lips! No need to pay extra for lip mask or scrubs! 


Last but not least is a video of me being a retard! hahahhaa! i was trying ways to say hi like all the girls who do it on instagram but sadly i dun know how to convert my video to the format suitable for instagram with the same quality as i am using android. :(

HALLOWEEN READING

Have been thinking whether i should start a blog as a part time rant on things i find to be worth blogging. Stopped blogging ever since i was in Perth studying which is like 4 years ago. Hmmm.. How time passed and i guess blogging is a responsibility after all. HAHAHA! Apart from being super busy with studies as its my third year in Uni, i do have the urge to write my thoughts, guess should revive my inner talkative self :) I tend to get lost in my own world when i am in my room and browsing through websites and be in that state for a whole like 4 hours without realizing time passed. Yea i procrastinate like that when i get bored of studying.

Now i remember why i stop blogging... guess i am a boring person who just like to blabber about nonsense. Therefore let me reminisce on what i have to blog about, the things worth blogging will be my last minute trip to READING just to meet my cousin, Regina, to party for a night and yet have to come back on time for class and work. That was just straight up tensed situation i put myself in but managed to get everything under control (I guess... apart from having to catch up on my taxation seminar, still manage to go to work and for a 2 hours class on audit lecture in between work.. so yea...). It is all worth it as I have not been to Reading before and it is fun to be meeting new people in a new environment, although i can feel they are all mostly freshmen. How come i am so boring on my first year in Uni?!


Me and Regina after running in the rain here and there to take the taxi then decided to take the bus but at last ran back for the taxi! This is the after results after messing up the whole room to prepare the makeup for the desired halloween look! I was inspired by The Vampire Diaries casts not sure its perfect but I guess last minute preparation does work out fine. HAHAHA! And my dearest Regina girl kinda little tiny bit scared herself after she did her own makeup for Wednesday Addams and when i see her i was like YEA you are scary enough. Which we both cracked up like crazy while Regina keep staring to the mirror to admire her work on her face. I do admit she did a really good job ;)


In the club! There's always this friendly people who will help to take pictures when you try really hard to fit in 3 people by taking a selfie. Thanks friendly person! ;)

Thats it for today! :)
