How I ‘kinda’ put on my makeup

I actually filmed this makeup-related video last week…thinking that this suggestion from an Italian friend I met from roleplaying isn’t all that bad, let’s call her Kyo-chan okie?

So what took me this long to upload?

I edited in one day. I know, “simple editing and you took one day?!” I’m sorry for being so new and horrible with Sony Vegas D:

but the main reason was Face problem.

okay and guts problem.

but in the end, I told myself something I would’ve never pictured myself saying.

yolo.

you only live once.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah so whatever la. So here it is. Tips from all the makeup pro big senpais(seniors) out there are highly appreciated and if anyone out there reading / watching that video and knows of any super amazing nose contouring tutorials that can hopefully reduce the size of my nose by 10x, contact me.

I’m so up for contouring challenges hahaha

So for the video, seeing that I have no idea what were the colors I used, I won’t call this a tutorial. More like a ‘how I apply my makeup’ video? Lilac-lavender themed. But if anyone is interested, here are the products I’ve used.

Benefit cosmetics Oxygen wow liquid foundation in Ivory, Chanel translucent loose powder, Empro triangular brow pencil, 88 color eyeshadow palette, Nyx round lipstick in Snow white, Nyx pencil lip liner in Deep red, Nyx Blush and Bronzer combo, Burt’s Bees Beeswax lipbalm, Nyx pencil liner in black brown, eyelash glue and false lashes I got from taobao.

I guess that’s all and for your information, you know what? if you just want to look good on the net, don’t bother getting makeup or plastic surgeries or fillers or whatsoever.

Just get photoshop.

Or for my case, GIMP. :s

Decided to end it with a random oh-oh-tee-dee

To those wondering what I meant by ‘kinda’, it’s well sometimes I use concealer, sometimes I don’t, sometimes I use mascara sometimes I don’t and usually I’ll either use an eyeshadow primer/eyeshadow base before applying eyeshadow and well I was so busy staring at the eye shadows palette for 10 minutes that in the end, I forgot ALOT of things. T_T

Enjoy! >< Ciao ciao and Rachael if you’re reading this, Happy sweet sweet sweet sweet 16! I hope you like the edit I made for you and honestly I am surprised that I was able to jumble up an edit for you in 1hr and 30 minutes time and actually liking it. Have fun drowning in the smexiness of Japanese…and Italian 2D men!

Favorite wanton mee

Wanton mee had been absolutely the one type of food that well, in my mind can never go wrong. Of course there are still some places’ wanton mee that doesn’t taste good but I just wanted to sit down and type about my favorite place to savor wanton mee. So far, out of all the places I’ve had wanton mee, including all the fancy chinese restaurants and even all the way to Hong Kong, there are these two places where I’ll be more than glad to eat their wanton mee three meals a day, consecutively for I don’t know a month[s]..? and still not get bored. Also, both places are located in the same area! Uptown Damansara Utama.

Because of the different style of cooking, I can’t decide who ranks first in my heart so in no particular order, the two shops are Koon Kee Wanton mee and Annie 1’s.

I don’t have any pics of Koon Kee’s wanton mee but I’ve been loving their wanton mee since the first time I’ve tasted it, probably 9 years ago? I don’t know, I mean, I’m not THAT old so you can’t expect me to say decades ago, right?

For Annie 1, it’s been quite some time since I’ve had their food, mainly since getting a parking over at Damansara Utama’s pretty tough, especially lunch but we found one the other day (well, my mommy did.). I remembered the first time I stepped into the shop it was still newly opened so it wasn’t that packed and I didn’t fancy the menu but after trying their food, I think their food tastes really good, mainly their dry wanton mee! Through time, they even purchased the shop lot next door to expand their business and I think that’s something good seeing that even with two shop lots, the crowd is still crazy. C’mon admit it, everyone loves good food!

As always, I settled in to please my craving for wanton mee with curry chicken /insert_drooling_emoji

Honestly, I am very very picky with food, I know, not good >< But I am even more picky with my curry. In my family because I’ve never bothered to eat anything spicy, I am branded as “the one that doesn’t cannot eat spicy food” like really, if the curry tastes good, okay, I’ll eat, if not, I’d rather not eat, if its overly spicy, I’ll take a little if its good if not, no. But one thing I like best in curry are curry potatoes! Okay so this was probably my forth time having this curry chicken wanton mee from Annie 1’s, its just amazing! Also I actually prefer chicken thigh/drumstick over any other part of the chicken since it seems to be the softest and smoothest hahaha so *cheers* that I got chicken thigh that day /// w ///

here’s one of their all day breakfast selections which is a sunny side up with toast and pork sausage.

The last main we had was the Curry Laksa with chicken and prawn. Personally, this wasn’t really my cup of tea seeing that I did not enjoy curry laksa at many other places but because I’m such a “wai sek mao” (someone that craves{?} wants to eat everything{?} ) I still took a bite. One thing disappointing about this is that we only managed to find one tiny prawn inside haha.

As for drinks, standard lo, Milo ‘ping’ and Teh ‘ping’

If the Milo was made from the normal powder type (not the ready to serve boxed ones) then I think its pretty good, not too sweet which I think is good seeing that almost everywhere’s Milo tasted way too sweet. However for the teh ice, I’ll prefer it sweeter.

Honestly, I think it would’ve been a wiser choice to show you my ticket instead of the promo poster. Who knows later got 5 year old stumble across my blog then get nightmares?

The other day while waiting for my other friends to arrive, me and the bestie decided to watch Insidious 2, we had been waiting for weeeeeeeeeks! And still have not gotten the opportunity to watch it, really, blame finals and showtimes. -.- GSC no luck, we went to TGV and no luck, just when we were about to leave we stumbled across Carrie’s promo poster and it felt somewhat familiar to me. I’m sure I’ve stumbled across the trailer on youtube some time ago and said I wanted to watch it, then I concluded that the show was probably not available in Malaysia. hahahaha. Well we gave each other “the look” yeah, the ‘am I thinking what you’re thinking’ look haha and literally went to check the earliest screening. Perfect, miss 20 minutes also never mind we told ourselves.

Fast fast we go buy tickets la, I have to admit, I guess watching a movie could make you temporarily forget about your hunger (I had been complaining hungry before we even stepped foot into TGV). Since we didn’t want to miss out more we skipped popcorn and ran for the hall only to come into a pitch black hall with lighted white faces seated scattered over the hall. (humans playing with their smartphone in the dark, scary hor?) . We got to our seats and waited….then waited..I half-expected some ghost to come flying out when I was walking to my seat then ok, maybe we went into the wrong hall, went out and checked, correct ah. Later on I’ve concluded that the show hasn’t even started!

People must be very very lazy and has a lot of time to spare, otherwise, how could they possibly sit there for 35 minutes looking at their smartphones not bothering to get up and check with the staff working to see whats wrong. Like seriously! When me and my bestie reached the hall, we were already 20 minutes late, wait for 10 minutes also beh tahan already. When we found a staff, the person even went “huh? havent start?” o_o So nobody checked la.

Nevermind soon later the movie started.

Throughout the movie, I thought there would be scenes where its going to get super bloody and there’s going to be some sort of bad spirits involved, surprisingly no. Twice when I thought bad spirits were involved, turns out 1- the woman was giving birth ._. 2- the child didn’t know about periods. The story from my understanding should be a demon/devil-free movie, its more like Carrie having supernatural powers. Definitely not possession.

Overall, apart from the psycho-loss of mind control-parts(which involves ALOT of gore), the movie has pretty good moral values. Like, for the people that were nice to Carrie, they didn’t die. They might have been albeit injured but at least they lived.

So moral of the story, don’t bully people. Even a normal person under constant stress would break.

On the side note, I got selected as one of Comic fiesta’s official bloggers! ; w ; Can’t wait for the event and I think I need to go borrow perhaps my aunt’s battery pack and…maybe even her prime lens…and and…maybe I could just pinjam her camera body as well. Obviously impossible la since my aunt’s zoom lens is already with me.

Another lens review

Wanted to blog this earlier but I had no idea what was wrong with my laptop, it just wouldn’t connect to the internet.

That aside, the other day I opened up a new pair of Rainbow Color contact lens, this time its the color Storm Grey.

As usual, got it from Tokyoninki.com

121113-1

 

without flash with natural sunlight from side window.

121113-2

With flash in a room with bad lighting

121113-3

freaking comparison with flash.

I had to attend a charity-school-concert sort of thing during the night and remembered that I had no lens to wear so I opened it a few hours before the event and soaked it in lens solution (usually I soak it overnight) surprisingly it did not sting my eyes when I wore it so thumbsup. The event hall had air condition so I think this lens was pretty good seeing that it did not threaten to fall off my eyes.

Wore it for approximately 5hours and yup, pretty comfortable I’d say but of course like I previously mentioned, no lens will be more comfortable compared to Acuvue’s daily disposable lenses!

Tweezing hurts more than waxing

Hello blog-san. No, I did not come up with a surname for my blog, just felt like adding a Japanese honorific to it. Weaboo? Okay.jpg. First time typing a blogpost on my phone. Honestly, I had no idea that the WordPress app is even compatible for self hosted blogs haha, so I’m really surprised here. Looks like I can blog on the go too! Well it’s not like I’ll be going anywhere this year. T.T Really, seeing all my friends overseas, I want to travel too!

Ok enough of that, just an hour ago I went to Benefit and got my brow waxed. Yes, pretty..uh…how to describe? Syok? No. Painful? No…and I’m pretty sure that I’m no masochist either. So what is that feeling? Well it feels like your skin came off. What?!

Yeah, I actually asked the very nice lady…beautician(?) whether my skin is still intact. I know funny and stupid question, but really curiosity kills the cat and moreover, that feel was there and the surprising bit is that, it didn’t hurt.

I enquired about the brow waxing services few days ago, me being me was obviously too chickened to try it out. So you ask me what gave me the courage? Eye shadows. I was experimenting with makeup looks again and I felt so frustrated that I don’t have enough canvas to play with. Which leads to my current decision, “go back to benefit on the weekend and get my brows done!”

Ok so before I went for this, people told me to try plucking. Then I told them to pluck for me. Yes. I super lazy plus I tried and tweezing hurt like…like…yeah. You get the picture. Pull one strand already so pain some more got so much more to pull, tears all pouring already.

So overall, waxing the brow was a thumbsup option for me. Not sure why it looked fuller now, probably the wonder brow’s magic so I’ll go home and figure it out later. Currently I have to admit, I can’t feel my brows, it’s like numb haha.

Ok that’s all. Ciao ciao! and let me continue drinking my cup of caramel macchiato while waiting for my mom.
