I'm beginning to love floral print dresses now. Been to Miss Selfridge @ Mid Valey (Malaysia) and saw quite a few floral dresses BUT they don't fit me because they were too long and too expensive for my liking :(

Although, I found a cheaper alternative through one of the online boutiques in Malaysia called doublewoot.

And to my disappointment, it was sold out. Le sigh~

It just personalizes your style.

Especially when you have something that everyone else has.

Review: Clearasil Ultra Deep Pore Scrub

2009-05-11T00:23:00.006+10:00

(picture credit to http://embarrassmentfree.com/userimages/procart3.htm)

I bought this product from Woolworths a couple of months back. Was attracted with the size and also packaging of this product which claims that it would

"GETS* TO WORK INSTANTLY"
"VISIBLY CLEARER SKIN IN JUST 3 DAYS"

I mean, what is there to think about?
Visibly clearer skin in 3 days, and plus its a 'deep pore scrub' too!
*I always think that scrubby types of cleanser gives you the feel-good-factor that it makes you think that your face is free of all those dirt and oil*

Benefits.
According to their website @ http://www.clearasil.com.au/product_ultra.php, the benefits of using this cleanser is as follows

penetrates pores to deep cleanse and help prevent pimples!
removes excess oil, dead skin cells and pimple causing bacteria (yes yes!)
clinically-proven to give visibly clearer skin in just 3 days!

Instructions

Use twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.

How did I use this product?
I used this product for three days upon having a 3-in-a-shot outbreak on my face though I only use it at night. This is because:

Using the scrub twice a day would not only removes your face of excess oil, but it also removes essential facial oil that you need.
That said, since your face is 'dry' from the removal of those oil; your skin would tend to product more oil instead making your face more oily!
This then would be bad for those who put on concealer/foundation as your face will tend to get oily really fast.

The results
Honestly, this product did not work for me. I tried it for a week in fact and I already feel as if I scrubbed my face with sandpaper and the pimples are still stuck on my face like glue! I had to squeeze out the excess instead of it shrinking on its own just because I can't stand it being on my face. It looks hideous! *sorry about the description but its true!*

Even combining this product with my dad's T-Actin cream (which has never fail to impress me on its effectiveness. Have been using this for over 2 years already), those zits still persists on my face!

So I guess despite the attractive packaging, budget price and oh-so-convincing claims. This product is a no-no for me!

p/s: I tried this product again after a few weeks and it still didn't work for me :(

My top 10 tips from Eyes, Lips, Face (ELF)!

2009-05-08T23:42:00.005+10:00

Tip #1
Did you know that even your make up has an expiry date?
(a) lipstick: 1 year
(b) eye liner/ eye mascara: 3 months
(c) blusher : 6 months
(d) nail polish : 2 years (if stored properly)

Tip #2
How to sharpen that damned eyeliner pencil without it chipping off?
Place the pencil in the freezer for a good 10 minutes before sharpening it!

Tip #3
Cleaning your brushes
Pretty sure you guys heard about washing it with a lukewarm water and some facial soap but there's another alternative to it, the vacuum cleaner.
Yup, all you have to do it to hold it tight close to the open end of the vacuum hose and let it do the cleaning for ya'!

Tip #4
Brushing your hair too much?
Too much brushing or combing will stimulate glands to produce more oil!

Tip #5
Want smoother lips?
Use your toothbrush and gently brush your lips before bed.
Apparently it works.

Tip #6
Lip lines visible even after applying lip gloss?
Reduce crack appearance by applying the lip color/gloss vertically

Tip #7
Personalized lip color
Create your own lip color by using lip-gloss and mixing it with your favorite eyeshadow!

Tip #8
The perfect lash curler
Heat your lash curler with a blow-dryer for a few seconds.
The heat will lock in the lengthy curl.

Tip #9
Getting rid of those dark circles
The traditional way: Take 2 used teabags, put them in the freezer until they're cold (approx. 30 minutes). Then put them on your eyes.

Trick is, you'll have to do this daily to actually see the effects :(

Tip #10
Not enough time for a shower and you have oily hair?
Sprinkle a little baby powder on your roots and you're fixed!

Guys loves the camera too tsk tsk

2009-04-30T11:48:00.000+10:00

Was looking for styles on lookbook and I can't help but to click on pictures of guys who are actually posing for the camera and actually looking good while doing it. Very different from the guys I know who are USUALLY camera shy *tsk tsk*

t-shirt + cardigan + jeans + converse shoes
always a winner

skinny tie + suit
<3

These are the pictures where guys actually looks good in skinnies. The ones I've seen in Melbourne...well, you could just literally walk up to them and say "does it hurt wearing those jeans?"

*snickers*

p/s: This guy reminds me of my friend Dominic who's pretty good at posing as well :)

Shorts that are HAWT!

2009-04-29T22:16:00.000+10:00

My cousin told me sometime ago that she didn't 'understand' why people would wear shorts AND leggings at the same time.

Well, by looking at these pictures. Need I say more?

Not overdoing it.

2009-04-29T20:43:00.001+10:00

One word, simplicity.
Something that I would wear to university really.

Though all three photos have one thing in common, leggings!
Too bad I don't have the legs for it :(

WTH, fashion blog?

2009-04-29T18:34:00.000+10:00

"Halo? You ok ar? There are too many fashion blogs online and you need not add one more to the list okay?!"

uh huuuuh :)

I just have 'too' much time at hand and I have a recent addiction of browsing through e-shopping blogs, fashion blogs, e-baying (recently got a vest top from South Australia that I have yet to receive, stupid PayPal) and all those online fashion thingy that I sit and drool in front of the laptop at.

I know, 'why couldn't you just use one blog and post-lah! want to have so many blogs for what?!'.

I just thought that my main blog should be a place where I relief my stress and splurge my recent happiness on and not something which I'm oogling about and stuff.

So, what this blog will be about is the stuff which I find interesting (fashion-wise) and the stuff that I can have and CAN'T have.

I just need a space where I can criticize, complain, talk, swear, giggle, laugh, exclaim and fart? about fashion. So yeah.. :)

p/s: NO, I'm not opening an e-boutique >.>
