Post No. 88

So I'll be back home in exactly two weeks time, and I am really excited of what to do with my hair.
yeah. so I only get to visit my hairdresser almost once every year, as I do not really like the hairdressers down here. bloody expensive I'd say.


I'm kinda bored with my hair now, sticking to the same mediocre long layered look. I need a change, something drastically different. No I am not gonna shave my head if that's what you are suggesting.

I never colored or dyed my hair before, still got virgin hair lolxx. I've always got intimidated by the idea that if you start coloring you hair, you can never stop. For a good dye job, a visit to the salon is a must, not to mention the cost that come along with it. DIY kits is an option, but it just never really look as good in terms of color. And I also hate roots showing between dye jobs. They are just plain ugly. Not to mention, some coloring jobs will turn brassy because hair just get to damaged.

Still, having said that, I'm still looking for coloring techniques that is fuss-free. the one I'm thinking of doing is Ombre hair, seen on likes of Camila Alves, Alexa Chung, and Rachel Bilson. *(I feel like I am contradicting myself cuz ombre hair does look like hair between dye jobs. But done properly I'm sure it'll look good)
Good no?

I'm wondering if ombre hair goes well with short bobs.

hello and hello.


So a month ago I did a haul from Cherry Culture after Miss Chaigyaru posted her youtube video of NYX cosmetic haul. And a month later the parcel arrived!



 the packaging good enough to prevent anything from breaking and kept everything tidy.


 I got this eyeshadow palette for my December trip back home. This palette got every color that I will possibly use and it also kinda resembles Urban Decay's Naked palette minus the price. It comes in a good size so it will save me alot luggage space for other stuff. I have not done swatches for this palette, but it does look quite pigmented. Majority of my palettes are of natural hues like brown and bronze, so I don't really use much of other colors, so this one fits me well.
 When I did a swatch for this color, well, I wasn't please. It looked pretty natural on the swatch of the website, and I assumed it will look natural on skin. the lip gloss is very pigmented and it carries a strong gold hint. when I tried it on it looked like I ran out of a circus or a dressed up party. Maybe I'll save this one for other occasions.
 I love this lipstick! I was skeptical when I received this, cuz it looks a lil too bright for my liking. but boy, was I surprised when I tried this one. It definitely gave me a change. One thing that worries me is how long lasting it will be when I go out with this. But I'll definitely purchase this again.
 In the midst of fixing my brow. so I got this Amuse Brow dual powder. I don't thing the tone suits me too well, because it carries a reddish hint. it doesn't show on the palette, but it will when you put in on. I'm pn the fence for this one cuz my eyebrows aren't properly done yet, so I might not what it will possibly look like. but for only $3, it won't do too much of damage to my purse. I can always double this as an eyeshadow or something.
 I got these because they are on sale and are the cheapest thing ever. these two cost me no more than $5. I'm not too sure of the price. I got the gold for this holiday season, gold works well during Christmas. It's not pigmented, so I will layer this on top of my usual black liner. The onyx liner also has simmers in it. Not the best liner that I owned, not sure if it is waterproof or long lasting. the consistency is kinda runny, so I have to layer it to get a darker shade.
Lastly, I got these concealers for my under eye circles. it smells like baby powder and also have this matte finish, unlike some other concealers that has a greasy finish. the coverage is pretty good. works wonders for my under eye circles, but I have problems using this for my acne scars. Probably cuz I'm not good at covering the scars.

Post No. 84

I have quite the fetish with bags and shoes. Especially designer's ones. Being a student and only started on my part time job, it's really difficult for me to actually afford the real deal. unless I have some crazy savings habit. or rich ass parents who have no problems splashing thousands of dollars for me to just get a bag. or shoes.

nevertheless, it still does not stop me from actually admiring these beauties and stay alert with the latest trend.
so today. I'll be sharing the bags that I'll definitely get if I got the moolah for it.

#Balenciaga's Part Time bag

It is one of the hottest bag in among celebrities and I find this bag works well with almost everything. at first I was not so keen on this design, because it just does not have the classic feel that normally appeals to me. but after while seeing the countless possibilities of matching your outfits with this bag, I was sold. what I also love about it is that you will not look too overdone when carrying this bag.

#Chanel Coco 2.55

this is hailed one of the most classic bag of all times. First launched# in the 1950's by Coco Chanel, this bag is still one the classic icon of Chanel and is still going strong after 60 years. No person with the right mind will not get this bag if they are capable. The thing I love about this bag is also the chain straps. From what I've seen so far, you can get three different looks with this bag. Definitely one of the tops on my list.

#Mulberry Alexa Bag

I fell in love with this one here the moment I laid eyes on them. Recently, I have quite taken the fancy to Alexa Chung's style, just the right amount of femininity with loads of attitude. I also love the fact that her looks are chic, yet effortless and approachable. and they way she works with this bag, is just love.

#Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag

Rebecca Minkoff's bag are on the rise. This bag is absolutely stunning with studs and is one of the most versatile and spacious bags. It can be carry two ways, on shoulder or on arm. I love bags that can be carries on arms. It also packs attitude, especially this studded version. The price I also find quite reasonable, for under $800.

#Miu Miu Matelasse large tote

A sister brand of Prada, Miu Miu has been going strong for the past couple of years. To be honest, I have no idea on how to elaborate on this bag. I just know that I fucking love it.

#Hermes Birkin Bag


Like the Chanel bag, Hermes Birkin is also an iconic classic bag that will never ever goes out of trend. Birkin's are normally price above $10000. very expensive are slightly unattainable for the regular you and me. I prefer the lighter coloured versions for myself because the darker versions looks beyond my age. Delicate colours like whites and creams also requires extra caution and care, which I am happy to give for the price I pay for a bag like this.
