This is amazing. I feel like I’m out in the ocean floating without any cares in the world. I promise, it’ll be worth your time.

Happy Halloween! It’s a pity how that tradition of trick’ o treating isn’t very much practiced around here. I’d love to dress up and get candy!
Hope all of you are having a great day.
I can’t wait for Christmas to arrive, I’ll be posting a collective haul around that time!
Oh and, I’ve been singing Christmas carols already.
Hayley Williams (Neutral)
I’ve been looking through many different hairstyles because I want to dye my hair but just not too sure what color. Red was what I settled on, but as we all know, there are many shades of red out there, one most popular shade would belong to Hayley Williams!
I googled her and got so inspired to do a makeup tutorial that’s similar to what she has. There are those days where she goes for a pop of color, but I’m not going to do that, thus it’s the “neutral” edition.
Hayley has youthful looking skin and the makeup she has allows her freckles to show through, making the look more natural.
{ FOUNDATION }
A foundation with medium coverage and a dewy finish is ideal because you want to look natural and glowing at the same time. An option would be mixing CoverGirl Smoothers All Day Hydrating Make-up together with CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup.
However, if you don’t have both, it’ll be a hassle to buy 2 different products just for this look, so another alternative would be Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup. This foundation is lightweight and leaves the skin looking young and youthful!
If you have anymore redness or dark circles, use your everyday concealer to cover it up!
{ EYEBROWS }
She has very defined eyebrows so filling them in (if it’s sparse and messy) is essential! Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil
is a good choice because the pencil itself is quite thin, giving you better precision in filling them. Be sure to use light feathery strokes for a more natural effect!
{ EYES }
She has very neutral eyeshadow along with long lashes and some eyeliner.
Her eyeshadows do very as they can lean towards the orange-y side and they can be the neutral browns as well.
For the neutral browns : L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Bottomless Java. It can be quite dark so be sure to blend it out a lot for it to appear sheer and less pigmented, or you can blend it with the same eyeshadow in Iced Latte.
Another color similar would be Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Half Baked.
For her orange-y browns : L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Amber Rush a huge fan of this color! Really shimmery and gorgeous.
I think that Wet n Wild Fergie Shimmer Palette in Rose Golden Goddess is another great choice with a mix of brown and peach and pink. Beautiful!
Since Hayley has pretty bright eyes, be sure to use a light color and apply it in the inner corner of your eyes. L’Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Endless Pearl is pretty shimmery and a great choice!
Before applying mascara, be sure to curl them first so you can achieve the desired look of really long lashes, but without them looking fake.
Look at her lashes, they’re really long!
But before you apply mascara, line your eyes. Nothing too fancy such as a winged or cat-eye effect, just the normal stroke across the lash line. This will give an illusion of thicker lashes!
Revlon ColorStay Creme Gel Eye Liner comes with a brush and is pretty handy! Plus the color payoff is amazing and is easy to apply. Just draw a line along the lash line without extending out too far.
Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Flared Mascara suits this job perfectly because it makes the biggest difference to your lashes, making them appear much thicker and longer.
Benefit’s They’re Real Mascara is another mascara that makes a lot of difference to your lashes, so here are 2 options for you to choose from!
{ CHEEKS }
Since Hayley does not contour her cheeks, we’ll just be using a blush. I happened to chance upon CoverGirl Classic Color Blush in Soft Mink and I think that it’s a perfect color for this look.
The packaging looks so chic and classy, a little like Jouer if you ask me!
{ LIPS }
Her lips aren’t anything too funky or bold, either a pink lip or a nude pink lip. Very natural, like!
Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie seems to be the exact shade she was using in the first picture. You can always apply a few dots here and there before blending it to sheer it out for a more natural look!
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pango Peach also seems to be something that she’d use on her lips because it’s very natural and gives your lips a “better than it is” look.
There you have it! Hayley’s neutral look. Super easy and natural, flirty and fun as well!
I’ve been considering dyeing my hair the color that she has, perhaps when I do I’ll use this makeup look! Honestly, this is suitable for an everyday look. You can wear it to work, school, the beach and it’ll look so amazing.
I hope you’ve enjoyed and benefitted from this post, stay tuned for more!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q33YUxnGvwE Here’s a little song by Michael Buble in which he did with Blake Shelton. Loving it so much, makes me feel so calm.
Christmas Wish List!
It’s only the 28th of October, too early to plan for Christmas? No. Never.
Christmas is my favorite time of the year and throughout random phases of the year, you can hear me playing Christmas carols. It’s just so uplifting and makes me feel so cheery.
I honestly wish Santa was real (who doesn’t?) and could send me gifts on my wishlist. But with everyone’s wishlist, Santa would be broke.
But anyways, if a random soul decided to be Santa and give me a few gifts for Christmas, here’s my list and feel free to be generous.
(Click on the pictures to see where you can get these babies from!)
BATH AND BODY :
Laura Mercier Creme Brûlée Sugar Scrub.
Seriously, how much more luxurious can this get? I absolutely love body scrubs because they make me feel so fresh, new and soft, and to smell like a dessert? Yes please!
Philosophy Peppermint Stick Shower Gel & Bubble Bath.
Yum yum, peppermint. Peppermint is the ultimate Christmas-y seal. To smell like Christmas whenever I want? Hell yeah! Thus I’m loving the Andes Peppermint Crunch Thins. Addictive.
Fresh SugarBath Lemon Bath Cubes.
Fresh has one of the cutest products ever. The mini lip polish and the wide array of lip treatments! It’ll be so amazing to have these bath cubes to ignite the whole bathtub and have the toilet smelling like lemons.
SKIN CARE :
L’Occitant Ultra Rich Face Scrub with Shea Butter.
I’m in need of a facial scrub that has the right amount of abrasiveness for me! My face has a lot of dead skin at the moment and I’m desperate to get rid of them because it’s so rough and awful, not chic at all!
Bobbi Brown Buffing Grains for Face.
Aesthetic wise, it isn’t the most appealing thing to me. But from what I read, it leaves the skin soft, smooth and glowing. Now, who won’t want that?
Korres Pomegranate Toner.
I just love the smell of pomegranates, so this should be pretty amazing for me!
Honestly, I have no idea how to differentiate between “good” and “bad” toners, I mean, aren’t they all toners?
Caudalie Moisturizing Toner.
I’ve always had that impression that Caudalie is an amazing high end skin care brand and I’ll look shining and glowing once I’ve used their product. Now, moisturizing toner? That’s a first.
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Milk.
This takes makeup off (which is amazing, I don’t have to use another product!) and leaves the face soft and comfortable (that’s what it said.) so yeah, amazing!
MAKEUP :
Now this is going to be one hell of a list, just because there is a ton of products to try!
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.
I have never gone around to purchase this product just because of its price here. $70 for a tinted moisturiser? I might pass, since I’m not earning a lot of money and I might have to forgo half a year of drugstore makeup shopping. I should start saving though.
Diorskin Nude BB Cream.
I’ve been wanting this ever since I saw essiebutton use it. I was blown away by the coverage it gives and how easy it blends into the skin!
There’s so many tinted moisturizers and BB creams out there, I seem to want to get everything! But there 2 are the ones I want the most.
Nars Sheer Matte Foundation.
I’m not exactly a huge fan of foundation, because I personally feel I can get away with concealer and powder. But there are those days where I have pretty ugly and blotchy skin, so I would need some cover up. This has just the right amount of coverage and shade!
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Concealer.
This has been highly raved by fleurdeforce and I trust her taste! The packaging is so classy and elegant, I would be honored to own one of them.
Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer.
I’m in need of a good concealer because the current one I have creases under my eyes and that isn’t good looking at all! This is a full coverage concealer, so I have quite a lot of hope in it!
NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection Limited Edition One Night Stand Cheek Palette.
How pretty! They didn’t scrimp on the amount of product and I have a choice of so many colors, perfect for travelling or doing makeup for others.
Diorskin Shimmer Star.
It’s like a highlighter and blush mixed together as one. The shades are gorgeous with peach, pink and coral, also, the packaging and product both look so luxurious and classy. Love!
Stila Convertible Color in Petunia.
I absolutely adore the texture and color payoff of this product. Plus the packaging is so cute!
There are so many blushes out there that I would love to try. My faith has been regained ever since I got my hands on NARS’s Orgasm, I was using NYX before that and I always looked like a clown after application.
Benefit Cosmetics Hoola.
I’ve always wanted to try a bronzer, and this is on top of my list! Benefit has been my favorite brand of cosmetics for a very long time now. Ever since I was… 10.
Benefit Cosmetics High Beam.
I think a highlighter would do well in my makeup bag because I’ve been dying to give my nose a bit of a lift, as well as my cheekbones!
Laura Mercier Artist’s Palette for Eyes.
The colors are so neutral and gorgeous! I’m not into bright colors, so this is so amazing. The perfect eyeshadow palette.
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil.
I never fancied lip products that gave a distinct glossy finish so matte would be amazing for me. I feel that this pencil, accompanied with a layer of lip balm on top would look beautiful!
Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy Glossy Balm.
I love that this is sheer, it requires less maintenance compared to full on lipsticks! Plus this smells gorgeous, W-A-N-T.
Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain.
Gorgeous color!!! Plus it’s a stain, I don’t have to use a lot of it. Adorable packaging.
After sitting in front of the computer for about 2 hours, I’ve finally shrinked my list into these few items, yay me! Everything on the Sephora website seemed to be calling out to me, I was overwhelmed.
I can’t wait to go for Christmas shopping and maybe then, I’ll pick a few items up for myself.
Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright.
Fall makeup!
I personally don’t live in a country with 4 different seasons so I won’t quite be using this makeup style, but personally, it’ll be something I’ll wear if it was fall here!
Your foundation routine should be the same because that’s the base, it won’t affect the Fall-ness of the whole makeup.
CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder
Next, you can either choose a bright lip with a neutral eye, or, a bright eye with a neutral lip.
Bright lip and neutral eye :
Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Walking On Eggshells.
I like this trio a lot because the colors are really neutral and natural, which is perfect for the current look. Just follow the instructions as shown on the shadows and you’re good!
You might want to practice a little on blending (crease) because it can be quite tricky and ends up making you look odd, really odd.
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso.
(credits to thesundaygirl.com )
This blush has the reputation of being a dupe for NARS’s Orgasm. I recently bought Orgasm and I have to say, it’s a madly amazing blush, however the price tag isn’t that amazing, so this would do great!
Lightly apply it all over the apples of your cheeks.
Fall tends to have the burgundy and a dark plum color feel, so the next few options for the lips would lean more towards those shades!
Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Color Balm in Grandest Grape.
This is such a deep berry, it’ll be amazing for fall. The color payoff also depends on the color of your lips, so do take note.
Another amazing dark berry color! Something about fall that makes all these types of color popular.
YSL Glossy Stain in number 26, Violine Surrealiste.
No words needed. Amazing product, deep berry color.
That’s it! If you want to use eyeliner, be light on it, don’t overdo it as it can be too much for the whole look. Just a thin line would do perfect, nothing too fancy. Use your normal mascara and fill in your eyebrows the way you always do!
Bright eyes with neutral lip :
Same foundation routine.
L’Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Amber Rush.
This reminds me a little bit of MAC’s woodwinked because of the amount of shimmer, but it’s all good. We need a bright eye, right? This can be used in the crease while Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk is used as the base. I personally fancy the color combination a lot, shimmer overload, a little, but both colors complement each other nicely, especially for this time of the year!
Wet n Wild Color Icon Collection Eyeshadow Trio in Knock On Wood.
This is the perfect fall color, with the deep berry and burgundy. I personally like the Wet n Wild eyeshadow trios a lot, because of the number of shades to choose from and the pigmentation.
Chanel Les 4 Ombres in Seduction.
Isn’t this such a beautiful eyeshadow quad for fall? The colors totally suit the season and reminds me a little of the leaves that fall. Use the top right corner to highlight the browbone and for the inner corners of the eye. Bottom left would be used as the base with top left in the crease. Use the bottom right as definition for the upper lash tine and a little below the eyes!
Since this is a bright eye and neutral lip look, you can just apply a clear gloss over your lips, or a tinted lip balm.
Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Precious is a pretty good choice because it’s nude and natural, without washing you out.
Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brûlée is another great choice because it’s a nude shade that allows your eyes to pop while moisturising your lips at the same time!
I hope your fall has been great so far, and that this post isn’t too late for you! I honestly can’t wait for Christmas, I’ll definitely do a Christmas / Winter look soon.
Stay tuned!
My Top 20 hottest guys.
I could not make up my fickle mind, thus there are 20 guys. A long list, but who knows if one of them will catch your eyes and let you find a new eye candy? This also isn’t the typical Ryan Reynolds kind of thing. It’s my taste for guys and might not be appealing to you, but hey, as the title states, my top 20 hottest guys.
1) CRAIG OLEJNIK
Oh my mama, those blue eyes pierce through my weak soul.
I was watching The Listener the other day and I swore I was just looking at him the whole time and wasn’t quite interested in the show itself, it was good though.
He just looks so loveable and gorgeous. I’m dying.
2) KELLAN LUTZ.
Okay, it isn’t that I’m a Twihard or anything like that. His bad boy looks and muscles just spoke to me. Not forgetting to mention those amazing blue eyes.
I have a thing for blue eyes. You would have guessed that. Dimples on guys? A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E
3) RYAN FOLLESE (HCR)
This handsome young man is from Hot Chelle Rae and has an absolutely amazing voice. Good looks, clothes and pretty jaw? Melts.
Oh yes, love the tattoo across his chest.
4) KELLIN QUINN.
Maybe you can say I’m the kind that leans towards post-hardcore genre when it comes to music and I inevitably developed a strong liking for him. And the rest of the band!
His voice can reach so high it’s almost unreal. Especially in Alone, wow.
Those eyes? Oh and, he’s taken off the market! Happily married with a cute little baby girl that’s so adorable, I almost want her as my own.
5) CHRIS PINE.
Again, blue eyes, hot body. You get my gist.
I first saw him in This Means War with Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon and I squealed throughout the whole show. Second was in Star Trek, my heart melted.
6) WILLIAM RYAN KEY (YELLOWCARD)
Because I’m bias and Yellowcard happens to be my favorite band, I had to add him in. Along with Josh Portman.
He has so many tattoos and I lover them all. Especially the one with Star Wars on it! Sadly, he’s off the market too. Alyona Alekhina is the lucky girl!
7) KYLE PATRICK.
His dimples, amazing voice and adorable nose blew me away.
I managed to catch him once, when he was in Singapore for the recording of MTV Sessions. Amazing experience and I can’t wait to watch him again!
8) TYLER OAKLEY.
Well, sorry Tyler, but he isn’t the hottest, however, his humor has managed to earn him a spot on my list. (Not like that matter, but still.) He is so hilarious, check out his YouTube channel!
He’s so sassy and funny, it’s pure joy watching his videos.
Don’t you just like that hair?
9) MATT BOMER.
No surprise, he’s one of the most mentioned on twitter. In my timeline, at least.
Yes, blue eyes, again. Also, the fact that he can pull of suits so flawlessly just amped up his sexiness level.
His jaw too, so strong and defined.
10) TYLER WARD.
Maybe I like Tyler’s? But this dude is so hot, body wise, and the fact that he can sing so amazingly well just makes me croon.
I’m just left speechless when it comes to him. One of the few YouTube artists that I can actually sit down and listen to, for the whole video.
11) RYAN HIGA.
He has an acceptable body and absolutely humorous so he belongs here.
What’s Ryan without funny pictures?
12) CHESTER SEE.
Had this crush on him since I was 13, his voice is so incredibly sexy and his body is delicious. What’s more to want?
13) LUKE KLEINTANK.
I saw this dude on Bones (not 90210!) and he was so gorgeous. Tall and good looking, along with that accent. I was falling, hard!
You have to watch him on TV to see his true beauty, somehow pictures on google doesn’t do him any justice!
14) JONATHAN TOGO.
Yeah, maybe I’m a little bias and have been brought up watching CSI, so of course, one of my first “likes” was from that show.
I saw him on CSI Miami with Horatio and I was like “mmm mmm, yummy.” of course, that was when I was older, not when I was 8. (Which was the age at which I watched CSI for the first time.)
That laugh.
15) SIMON BAKER.
The Mentalist, anyone? I was blown away by the way he acted and how cool his character was.
You have to watch at least one episode. At least.
16) CHRISTIAN KANE.
Leverage, anyone? I was so taken aback by the way he fought. Yes, I know it was all scripted, but it totally inspired me to pick up some fighting sport.
Just look past that hair.
17) JOEY GRACEFFA.
Humor, hair and teeth. There’s nothing else to say!
I hope I get to meet him one day, one day. Along with Tyler!
18) SONNY BILL WILLIAMS.
All Blacks! My favorite sports team. Well, maybe he’s not on that team anymore, but that was where I found him and I was obsessed.
Delicious. Sadly though, taken.
Muscles, muscles everywhere.
19) BRUNO PUCCI.
He’s a fighter, chanced upon him while browsing through the instructors on Evolve. It’ll be pretty cool if I managed to be taught by him.
He has that baby face, don’t you think so?
Delicious body, again. He looks a little like Eminem.
20) Since I can’t think of the last… All A&F models!
This goes without saying.
Post Workout Activities!
I’ve been pretty interested in fitness stuff recently because I’m trying to lead a healthier lifestyle and get the body that I’ve always wanted, just in time for the New Year! Thus this will explain the lifestyle related posts.
So I just had my workout, and personally, I have a tendency to binge after a workout because I feel like I have the “right” to do so since I’ve burnt those calories off in the gym.
BUT NO. That’s something you shouldn’t do because all the hard work in the gym will be wasted.
FOR PECKERS :
So if you’re feeling a little peckish, opt for fruits. They’re nutritious and low in calories, safe!
Perhaps half an apple with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, tastes a little like apple pie, without the calories of course.
A fruit salad is an excellent choice, don’t go crazy on the amount of fruits though! Berry salad is super – rich in antioxidants and low in calories.
A small cup of fruit smoothie will do the job as well.
•100g of banana, diced.
•100g of strawberries, sliced
•the juice of 1 quarter of a lemon (for a citrus taste, optional.)
Throw everything into a blender and voila!
If you’re not into food and just want to be clean :
Pamper yourself! What I love to do is take a long cold shower. I’ll clear my mind and just make sure I’m pristine from top to toe.
Exfoliate! Your face and body, get rid of all the sweat, dirt and dead skin that is clinging on so stubbornly. You’ll feel amazing after this, fresh and anew!
Take your time and I’ll assure you, you’ll feel amazing. Clean and refreshed, so pumped to carry on with the rest of the day.
So here’s what I tend to do after a workout and perhaps you can do the same too, hope you’ve enjoyed this post!
Healthy Omelette!
Those days where you don’t know what to eat, you don’t feel like making something elaborate. But at the same time, simple items aren’t that tasty, right? Wrong!
Here’s a recipe for something super simple and easy to cook. It’ll take 15 minutes max for preparation and cooking!
Ingredients :
•One thin slice of honey baked ham, diced.
•A handful of white button mushroom, sliced.
•2 egg whites, beaten.
• a sprinkle of pepper.
•2 small cubes of cheese spread, diced. (optional)
•1 teaspoon of olive oil.
• 3 tablespoons of miso soup. (Or a seasoning of your choice)
Steps :
1) Mix the mushroom, ham, miso soup and egg together, mix it with a fork.
2) Heat a pan and add the olive oil. If you’re using a non-stick pan, skip this step!
3) once the oil has heated up, pour the egg mixture over the pan and wait till it bubbles before flipping it over. It’s alright if it tears, scrambled eggs it’ll be!
4) once fully cooked (there will be no more watery substance), transfer it onto a plate, sprinkle the pepper on top and add the cheese while it’s hot.
5) sit back and enjoy!
This is super simple and the ingredients can be substituted for tomatoes or capsicums. Best part? The total calories count is approximately 150!
Stay tuned for more posts x
Surprise Sunday!
Today was a fabulous day for me, I was out the whole day with a couple of friends to crash another friend’s house.
We went to her house, ate her birthday cake (yeah, it was her birthday!), played in the pool and went out for dinner. Here are some snippets of the day!
{ Dinner }
(^ try to read the fine print! Pretty hilarious. It was hung above a box of markers, just so you know.)
(^ ice-cream! Ballsy mint, cookies and cream, earl grey.)
Wasn’t a big fan of the earl grey though I was the one who bought it, tasted a lot like perfume!
I also received news from an archer friend of mine that the guy I think is hottest in archery, won a gold medal in a competition in China. Great job to Patrick!
Currently at the airport sending my mum off, pretty upset because she won’t be here for 13 days. (There’s a ton of good looking guys here, not bad!)
Hope your Sunday was as great as mine, or better!
Why?
I was just watching a fight on TV and it made me wonder – Why do they say that real men don’t hit women?
It’s such a feminist thing, that women can hit men but they can’t do the same.
Equality? Society keeps asking for it, yet doing otherwise. Ironic.
I think it’s cool if guys treated us like bros, not all of us are girly and get mad in an instant.
I’ll keep that thought in my mind.
