Shop with me!~

 

Hi Beauties!

Retail therapy is my kind of thing. Everytime I get stressed up at work, I feel a need to do some shopping. I usually try on stuff at H&M, Forever21 and Cotton On ( but CO stuff is getting really lousy). I am no skinny girl so I hope this helps all you girls with similar body type to mine :) bTw, those are my new forever21 shoes that I LOVE. The grip and cut is amazing and it cost me around 39 bucks only!

I was trying out this collared mint shirt thingy from H&M and I don’t think it flatters my body one bit. It makes me look fat and my arms just look super fleshy. It’s a pass!

Then I popped by forever21 to look for a dress for my good friend’s wedding engagement next month. I remembered seeing this dress in one of DulceCandy recent haul videos but it really looked cheap on me. Plus it made my top half look so huge! hahaha… well.. I’m fleshy but this dress kinda puts things out of proportion. I couldn’t find any other cute dresses at Forever21—sad!

Tried on this striped black and white top. Very boring.. Pass.

I love this cute coral top. Very easy to mix and match with jeans or pants. I really live in pants. Got this and actually the front looks sheer but when you wear it on, isn’t that see through. I wanted the ocean blue shade too! Got this!

I have a love for nude tops. Seriously love this silky nude blouse. I can see myself wearing this with pants everyday. haha..

Ok, my little one is adapting to school after 3 tiring weeks and I’ve finally been able to take some time out for myself. I wanted to get a few items from Zara but I was thinking that one Zara top can usually get me 2-3 items from Forever21 or H&M. I bought a few bras from H&M and I really love the cutting but I shall not show it cause it’s way too personal.

Great midweek!

ES A613 Glamour Big Eyes Lashes

*Sponsored Review*

What’s with the recent slew of eyelashes reviews you might think. Well, I’ve got more falsies review coming up but I’ve been really impressed with the new lashes that kkcenterhk has stocked up on lately. They look like the expensive Japanese dolly eyelashes and the quality is always reliable as I’ve reviewed their products before.

Just by looking at the eyelash above, you would not be able to tell I’ve worn and washed it twice already *with no special handling *  and it has not lost it’s shape, the lash band is still firm but bendable and the lashes have not lost their curl. I can wear these lashes for hours on ends and I do not have a problem with them irritating my eyes.

ES A613 glamour big eyes type lashes really enlarge the eye and make them look so dreamy and doll like. I think my eyes would look even more dolly with some bottom lashes but I’ll save that for my other lashes review.

Not saying good things because these were sent free. I swear by the dolly effect and the durability of these lashes. Go try it!

Just love these lashes!

Skin Overhaul ~

 

Truth is I look pretty tired when my skin is not looking 100%. I rarely wear any foundation therefore I tend to rely heavily on the natural state of my skin. The only place I slap on concealor is usually under my eye and angry red spots. However with all the commitments I have on my plate right now & the daily running around in the burning hot weather, I’ve noticed my skin looking more tired and more uneven. I’ve found new pigmentation spots, darkening of existing freckles and a more dull skin quality. Also, I cut down on my exfoliation for the past month to allow my skin to regenerate and found that my skin was getting more oily as a side effect.

Well, I couldn’t take my dull, tired looking skin any longer and decided to embark on helping my skin get glowy and looking more alive. I took out my Clarisonic Mia which I stopped using because the last time round, my skin was pretty dry and sensitive ( skin condition always changes so you have to be more aware of your skin’s current situation). I’ve found the Clarisonic Mia to work wonders in just 1 week of daily usage. My skin is looking more fresh and vibrant and my facial products feel like they are sinking into my skin instead of just forming a layer on top of my dead skin cells.

I also use Kanebo Silk Peeling Powder for added exfoliation strength when I use my Clarisonic and I cannot rave about this wonderful product enough. It cleans the skin and leaves it so fresh afterwards with no allergic reaction.

Also I switched up my toner and am using an old favourite – LUSH Eau Roma Water. It’s so refreshing and light and makes my skin feel soothed and comforted. If you have very sensitive skin I highly highly recommend this as a toner or a facial mist. Your skin will love you for using it!

Lastly, I’m using my Avene 50+ Sunblock for added protection against the crazy UV rays. With all the exfoliating action going on and the hot hot weather, I better protect my skin or all my hard work will be for naught. I’ve started using hats again and I even bought a pair of sunglasses from Cotton On to protect my eye area.

Call me fanatical but I really think using the Clarisonic Mia once everyday along with the Kanebo Silk Peeling Powder ( 2-3 times ) a week along with daily usage of Lush’s toner and sunblock has brought back much needed radiance to my skin.

I think my skin is looking a lot softer after 2 weeks of my project skin overhaul but I will have to go easy on the exfoliation soon. Good to let my skin and new collagen grow too.I hope you have a good weekend and hope this entry will help those of you who need to bring back a glow to your face. Let me know how it goes!
