Fashion & Makeup for Friend's Wedding Dinner

29.12.12 ~ 是一位很恨嫁的旧同事的婚宴。
(但这个blog entry的主角不是她。嘿嘿~)
 
为此我已想好了要穿什么,也稍微研究了要化什么妆。
哈哈! 因已好久没化眼妆了...
 
What I was wearing:
Dress made in Korea and bought from Ashton Ashton @ De Garden, Ipoh 
Belt bought from a boutique in Sunway Pyramid
Nine West wedges in black
Zara hair band
 
Tada~ 好像通常女生都是在晚宴穿无袖的,我却穿起长袖来了。因为没什么机会穿这件妈妈买给我的洋装, 所以只好在这种场合穿了。

 
这张侧身照我蛮喜欢。因为有点像韩国明星河智苑的说。(羞)
 

 
Zara hair band at RM49.90


 
坦白说,这张自拍照真的真的很不像我在镜子中看见的我。没办法,iPhone4的相机效果真的不好。(bleh~)
这眼妆是韩国模特Park Sora inspired makeup。最主要是她的signature eyeliner。很抱歉这张照片看不清楚。而且是自拍,所以反方向了,左分界发线变右分界了。
 

这就是Park Sora的signature look。就是她的上眼线细细长长的,在眼尾沿下再画长一些。比较起最近较流行的winged eyeliner,这个look蛮特别,可以一试。
当然要声明一下:本人没有她十分之一的美,只是想学她的眼妆而已。

Big Bad Wolf 2012


These are the books I've bought at Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2012 at The Mines Convention Centre. A total of 10 titles at RM100 only (one title was taken away by my sister though)!!! Those who have missed the sale will have to wait for next year.

Except for "The Concise Encyclopedia of Fishing" which is for my hubby, you will notice that all are of non-fiction genres. It's either about business, marketing, or self-help/self-enrichment.

Haha! Fictions are just not my cuppa! I read because I want to gain or learn something from the books. For me, reading is not for fun/enjoyment only. Of course I enjoy reading non-fiction books if it's interesting.

Since mid Nov, I've finished reading 4 books, and now into the 5th book.

Wow! I feel so accomplished and enlightening! I hope this habit will continue.

I'll probably share the 5 books that I've read in my next blog entry. Till then...

More Obsessions from Sigma Beauty


 
 
Yes, I'm buying beauty stuff from Luxola.com again, which is based in Singapore. This time, the prices are higher than before, probably after they have brought in new stocks from the US.
 
This time I've bought a brush cup holder and Dry 'n Shape, both from Sigma Beauty. Both costs me around RM165, which is still cheaper than if I were to buy from US, since Luxola is giving me a RM25 discount voucher. So happened that they have these 2 items as new arrivals which are already in my wish list.
 
Dry 'n Shape, as the name suggests, is for drying while shaping your brushes. It claims to allow drying in 4-6 hours! Normally I'll leave my brushes overnight to dry, especially those thick ones like face/foundation brushes. I haven't tried this Dry'n Shape though but am definitely looking forward to this "patented-pending" method of drying brushes. Do you really need this aid?! For me, I want the "shaping" effect as sometimes, brushes tend to be frizzy and may go out of shape after contact with water.
 
Haha! I do appear like a professional for having to use all these tools but seriously, I'm not. Perhaps I just like to buy stuff and try out new things. I hardly put heavy makeup.
 
I do read from an article that applying makeup with brushes do give better effect. I did try the contour brush for applying blusher and somehow, it does give a better contouring effect than using normal brush. So give it a try!
