Hot looks for fall.

1. Cheeks

Layer blush over your bronzer.

It creates a 3D effect and gives off a glow on your face.

First apply the bronzer in a large 3 shape, and layer cream blusher on the cheeks.

Nars Bronzing Powder

Nars Cream Blush

2. Lips

Create an illusion of fuller lips by applying a lighter softer shade in the centre over a slightly darker tone.

Use color in the same family, and should blend in well.

Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick in Ardent Red

Nars Lipstick in Flair

3. Eyeshadow

Two-tone contrasting colors make a look that’s not too dramatic but is very wearable.

Use colors that complement each other.

Copper and purple.

Green and blue.

Silver and black.

Moisturizing

is important everywhere. It helps retain elasticity and prevent chapping and cracking.

Especially in Singapore, because of our hot temperatures daily.

We hide out in air-conditioned places every single time.

Our offices and shopping malls are so cold, it’s best to bring a sweater out every time.

Thus, because of all the air-conditioning.

It tends to dry our skin out easily.

And it’s wise to use some moisturizer.

For the wallet friendly.

Lips: Palmer’s Lip Butter

Screw open the cap and you can immediately smell the rich chocolate smell.

It’s very thin upon application, and doesn’t last very long and need constant application.

Rather moisturizing and healing for only SGD$4.

Palmer’s

Hands & Body: Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

Really good for overall moisturizing.

Just slather it all over your body and wear leg warmers and gloves.

You’ll wake up with gorgeously smooth skin.

Costs about SGD$9 for a big bottle.

Totally worth it, except for the mess.

Vaseline

If you’re willing to splurge:

Lips: La Mer The Lip Balm

It’s great upon application.

Has a great smell and non-greasy smell.

Works really good and sort of regenerate your lips.

And your fine lines on your skin seems to lessen.

SGD$80, if you have the money, GET IT!

La Mer

Hands: Jurlique Hand Cream in Rose

Been using this for years, it comes in 2 different sizes with 3 different smells.

I bring the tube everywhere I go.

Really helps in keeping my skin moisturized.

Non-greasy and has a wonderful smell.

What else is great s that it contains no  parabens, PEGs, artificial colours, artificial fragrances or sodium lauryl sulfate.

Costing only SGD$44 for a small tube, totally worth the price!

Jurlique

Body: Kiehl’s Creme De Corps

Really lightweight and moisturizing.

It takes quite a while to absorb into the skin.

What’s great is that it’s not tested on animals and doesn’t irritate sensitive skin.

Cost about USD$70.

Kiehl’s

Important! Don’t forget or neglect to moisturize, you won’t want wrinkles to form when you’re 25.

In some places

You see people dressing down just for comfort.
They don’t see the need in making themselves all pretty and looking fabulous when they are out shopping.
They come in shorts and t-shirts, flopping around in slippers. It’s as though they are taking a trip to the fish market.

I admit I was one such person when I was younger. But, why bring down the image of us when we can do better.

Dress up! You won’t know who you’ll meet on the streets.
It could be the guy that dumped you because you looked ugly.
It could be your future mother-in-law.
It could be your boss?
Maybe your one true love! Hahaha.
Don’t be afraid of dressing up. Do what you can and show your feathers off.
We as women are smart, strong and confident people. And shouldn’t let all the things around us affect us in any way, but that does not mean we can compromise in style and fabulous-ness.

Quick tip! Take a photo of yourself before leaving the house just to check on how you look. It’s no fail, you’ll be able to see if the prints clash or if the colors don’t match.

Last but not least!!

Ideal bodies of most supermodels.

You have a lean athletic body.

So sorry

for the lack of updates.

If you’ve read twitter, I have been really sick.

Anyways, back to shape of the day!

Today is the wondrous

HOURGLASS!

Hourglass

Features:

• Symmetrical Shoulders and Hip
• Great looking chest
• Defined waist
• Broad hips with proportion to shoulders
• Gorgeous legs

What to wear?

Because of your great figure, you’ll look wonderful in most clothes.

What we normally do is to balance out your figure, but there is no need to balance out your proportionate figure.

Just steer clear from clothes that do not emphasis on your figure, clothes that make you look frumpy.

Stay away from large prints, that hide your curves, and make you look larger and totally our of proportion.

Frumpy

AMAZING

there’s this new nail service available, it’s SHELLAC!!!

I’m totally crazy over it.

It lasts for 14 days with no chip.

And what’s more amazing is that it has no drying time, so you’ll be able to do everything immediately, no complains anymore.

You can fish around in your bag for eveything you need with no worries.

Shellac

Ain’t it amazing?

Can’t wait till it arrives in Singapore.

It’ll save so much time at the same time.

The whole process takes 30 mins only.
