Makeups and Facial Care for Beginner

Image
Hey daylings, today I am going to post all things makeup and facial care related for beginners. Starting to take extra care of your skin since high school is a very good way to maintain healthy and beautiful skin. Because you are starting at young age, you do not have to stock loads of beauty products. Before reviewing and listing my all time favourite beauty products for beginner, let's start with one or two (okay, four) things to know: White skin is not the definition of beautiful    This is a very common misconception (especially in Asia, half of the facial soaps slogan is: because beauty is white). You can rock every shade of your skin. All you need is the self confidence and self realisation: I am the definition of class, glam or whatever. I can see how this trend started, long ago, only the wealthiest are able to stay in home all day while the workers work under the sun leaving their skin darker in shade. Your face is all correct   Wh...

Crocheting

Image
Yay, summer has arrived, if anyone know what's that mean, NOT SWIMMING  or even anything beach related. I am never such an outgoing person, if there's a chance to not joining sports event, I'll be the first person to give away all my sports equipment, well,  give  not even sell. No matter how bad I am at crafting stuffs, craft is always something that I like. I'm a tad awful innit, but that's fine, I love it. Sport is another thing though, no matter how much I hate it, I just hate it. Yeah, hate, hate, hate, hate it. Many reasons why I hate sport, here are the top 3 why: outdoor, if not, groups/pals, and the last, too much to coordinate. That's why I prefer craft, craft in some way, is like a mini sport: you can do it outdoor if you want to (I prefer indoor, ha), alone or in group if you're chatty (I'm not), something to coordinate, but no peer pressure . I thought I was a boyish girl, that was until I met crochet. Crochet is like making a slipknot...

DIY : Crisp Leaves for Decoration

Image
You Need : Leaves (just snap it of off the tree) Papers (2 max each leaf) 2 - 4 heavy books (Yellow pages thick) Yo Do : (I) 1. Clean your leaf from dirt or any other objects you don't want to dried of with it. Use damp towel. Let it dry naturally. 2. Put one book on the base and a paper on top 3. Put the leaf on top of the paper and cover it with another paper. 4. Put another book(s) on top of the paper that cover the leaf. 5. Wait for few days. (II) 1. Clean your leaf using damp towel and let it dry naturally 2. Iron it. (I am not sure if the iron might turn green at the bottom if you use it at a very meaty/tender leaves. If you are afraid so, might as well cover the leaves with old/unused thin cloth. I used to have fun doing this and if you use (I) there might be a hideous smell came outside but it's easily removed by throwing away the paper. Have you ever done this? Or you just straightly buy it?

Nature's Acne Remover

Removing pimple doesn't need latest acne remover product, all you need to do is clean your face daily with face soap and garlic. Yes, garlic.  1. Take a peeled garlic and cut it into two. With the garlic flesh direction on your face, press it into your acne. Do this at night and don't wash your acne area after pressing and rubbing the garlic on your acne. 2. Left it smelly like that. The rest of the garlic you can keep it in a small bowl to use next time or the next day. So now you have a smelly acne. Just a smelly acne, not a smelly acne with half of garlic on top. You dab the garlic, not glueing it onto your face. 3. Now with your smelly face, you're off to your night activity, avoid outdoor. Stay in your house, watch some movies, surf the internet, stalk someone account, or whatever you do at night, after five or six minutes, wash your face with water and done. That's all you need to do. Then you can continue your night activities. 4. Repeat the...

As I said or promise before, I'm going to post this. I know that it's VERY late to post this, but what can I say? I really like my nail this time so I want to share you my happiness, I had a chance to post today, because there's no exam tomorrow. (: Without further ado : mind my fingers :P I know I didn't do it pretty tidy, but it was way much better than the first time I've tried. I am really hyper , so  after I put the nail polish on, I move around and ruin everything, in order to achieve the kind of result above, I need about 7 times, of course not in a day ( I would feel guilty for using so much nail polish in a day if I do that), it was on the third day I finally got the look.

Colour some nails in gold polish, I use 525 bubbly gold The gold colour is pretty, and better if you used dark colour for the base before applying it. I really like the colours...
