28. grooming and make-up

Nowadays I'm leaning more towards clothes that covers my aurat ("skin"/"flesh"). It's nice to wear baju kurung (Malaysia's traditional outfit) especially to work. It's easy to wear and doesn't require much effort on my part.

I find myself making more of an effort now going out, such as curling my hair, putting on make-up, etc.   It's amazing what a little foundation, powder, smudge of eyeliner,  and lipstick can do for you.

I never really liked putting on lipstick until I finally found the perfect shade for me, which is Maybelline's Color Sensation lipstick in coral crush. Now that I've found the perfect shade, I think I always look bland and "just-got-out-of-bed" if I decide to forego it. 

Here's a few looks of me with the lipstick. Now I'm on the hunt for more great lipsticks and eyeliners. Revlon's eyeliners, no matter how self-proclaimed it claims to be "smudgeproof" and "stays on forever"always tends to wear off after a few hours of wear. I love their foundation and primer though.

What lipstick colors would you recommend for a dark, Asian tone for me? :D Here's a picture of my cat, Max, being scared of my pink hairdryer just for fun.

Ridiculous things.

BUSY BUSY BUSSSYY BEE. There's 3 weeks of uni left (this sem) so we have a lot of final presentations, reports, and generally useless paperworks to submit. 28 credit hour, I tell you! Never again.

I did not have time to take any pictures, but I promise you tomorrow night there will be spectacular shots of me and the boyfriend. We're going a date, finally, after so long. Usually we'll be with other people but yay. I have no idea what to do. I was thinking of KLCC, the Petronas Towers. In all it's glory and beauty. Hundreds of fluroscent alighted behind me. The famous water fountain swooshing in the background.

I was re-watching Gossip Girl and first I was actually irked by Blake Lively's slurring words. But I grew fond of her. She is adorable. And her fantastic body! Damn. Girl if I had that body I would not even bother wearing clothes. Penn Badgley is a lucky guy. I made a quick collage of her:



In my opinion, she looks best in the rich blue dresses she wears. It suits her skin tone, accentuates her ahem. In fact blue suits everyone. I find that when I wear blue my skin tends to pop out more and my face glows. Everybody should have blue staples in their wardrobe. Especially electric blue! Suits everyone. Even blue eyeshadow makes Asians's brown eyes pops out.



Think I will go and get me some blue eyeshadow, shimmer powder and new blush mousse! I really like Eva's eyes. Rich electric blue and lots of eyeliner makes eyes look amazing! Need a part time job badly =(
