Tutorial - Pink Punk

This is the second tutorial for this blog. A great look for going out with your friends.

I only used a white shimmery eye shadow, a black eye shadow and a hot pink eye shadow that has some blueish and purplish in it.

The pink I used looks better when applied with a moist brush. I concentrated the pink to the outer and inner corners, but I put a little in the middle of the eye lid. I also extended the pink over the crease. With a blending brush I added the white shimmery eye shadow. I blended them together so that there would not be any harsh lines. I added a tiny, tiny amount of the shimmery white to the middle of the lid on top of the pink. Remember to blend it in as well.

Take any liquid/gel/cake eye liner you have in black and apply that only to the top lid. Make sure the line is really thin in the inner corner and then more wide in the outer corner. A winged line works as well.

Apply some black eye shadow to the outer corner of your eye and then blend it out to the crease. As you can see from the picture above, I extended the black eye shadow on the lid to touch the eye liner a bit more. It creates like a C that is being pulled horizontally. I think that's like the best explanation I can give you. :D If you want you can add some of the black eye shadow the the lower lash line, about 2/3 from the outer corner to the inner corner.

This does look a little different than my profile picture. However I think this is a better version than the previous one. The first might look better from that angle, but this slightly modified version looks better from the front point of view. Small difference, but still big enough to notice, well I noticed a difference...

Finalize the look by adding some black mascara.

Voíla, you are done with the look. :D

Possible eye shadows you can use for this look:

Pinks:
- Passionate by MAC
- 279 purple pink (duocrome) by Artdeco
- Cheerleader by Makeup Store

White shimmer:
- Satin by Makeup Store
- White Frost by MAC
Basically any white shimmery eye shadow that works as a highlight

Black:
- Black tied or Carbon by MAC
Any black eye shadow with or without shimmer is fine.

Tutorial - Emerald Eyes

Emerald Eyes will be my first tutorial.

I have thought about how I would do these tutorials and I decided that I will not write which products I have used. I will only describe the colors, shades and application if application differs a lot from "the usual". I will be posting examples by MAC, NYX, Ben Nye, Joe Blasco, Artdeco and possibly some others and then you will be able to see the shades, compare them and continue from there with your own makeup, or then use one of the example shadows I mention.

The reason behind this is that I know not everyone has the same products. If I just give examples of suitable eye shadows then everyone can use what they have or go buy one that they feel is a better shade for them.

First I put some eye shadow primer on my eye lids and under my brows. I also shaped and filled in my brows. There are so many out there. Use what you have and what works for you. Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC painterly paint pot, foundations, Artdeco Eye Shadow Base and the list can go on and on.

After the primer I put some matte, medium brown eye shadow on the whole lid.

Then I took the green eye shadow with metallic shimmer and put it on most of my lid. I left the outmost corner without the green because I will put some matte brown there and in the crease and I wanted that part to have as little metallic shimmer as possible.

These are good possible eye shadows shades for this look:
-MAC: Greensmoke and Humid mix
-Artdeco: 40 pearly medium pine green, 250 late spring green (duocrome), 49 shiny moss green, 50 deep grey olive, 51 grass green, 52 green jewel (49-52 are Eye Designers)
-NYX: ES30A Hunter green (metallic), ES28 Green tea (frosty)

So go check out the colors and use one which you think looks best.

I took the same matt medium brown and used that in my outer corner and in the crease. I used a shimmery white as my highlight. Also I added some of the green eye shadow on my lower lashline, about 2/3 from the outer corner towards the inner corner. I put the same white shimmer to the inner corner by my lower lashes.

Any black eye liner pencil works for this. Add some black mascara and then the look is done.

Remember to blend all green and brown together on the lid and crease. Especially remember to blend the green line in the inner part of your eye lid. I did not do it in these pictures so there is a harsh line as you can see in the pictures above and below. I did it after I took these pictures so no worries! :D

I hope you like this look!

Any questions?

Hair success and celebration

Until last Saturday I only had had hair dryers. Then I went and bought a hair curler. For long I had been looking at different flat irons and curling irons but I was not sure which one I should get. My first plan was to get a hair curler that opens up as a flat iron when wanted. I could not find one which would not cost too much money and still be of good quality.

I started having second thoughts when I really thought about my hair and how easily it curls or does not curl. My hair is naturally completely straight. If I have had my hair up in a bun for several hours then my hair gets slightly, and only slightly wavy. Honestly, I don't need a flat iron. It would be a waste of money for me to get something that I will never use.

After this realization I started looking at curling irons. To my surprise, or not, I picked one that matches my toaster. It is made by the same brand and dark red just happens to be my favorite color. Plus it was somewhat cheap.

My hair is not thick and after reading the instructions I decided that the lowest temperature would be good for my hair. The two lowest temperatures are for thin and dyed hair. I have not dyed my hair in ages (since 2005), but it is quite thin.

I started curling my hair and all the curls would immediately disappear after I separated my hair from the curling iron. I decided to try the iron some other time and with a higher temperature.

Today was my brother's graduation and I decided to doll up a little, which means that I would actually do something with my hair. I increased the temperature to the middle temperature, (because it has 5 temperatures) which is for normal hair. Still nothing. Well, that's not exactly true. I got the curls. But I had decided to put hair spray on my curled hair after I had curled all of my hair. That was a mistake. Once I was done curling all of my hair all the curls had disappeared, again. So I went to my brother's graduation with straight hair.

Then after the graduation party I came home and decided to try to curl my hair the second time during the same day. I could not give up this easily, but I was utterly frustrated with my hair to begin with and had started to think about a good price that I could ask when I sell this curling iron.

This time I kept the same temperature but right after I had done one curl I sprayed it with hair spray and now I succeeded! I was so excited! I finally got curls in my hair. And now 1.5h later when I am writing this, my hair is still curly!

The curled hair!

I did not try to make it all clean curls or anything. The curls in that picture are not perfect. I only wanted to get my hair curly, without worrying how neat it looks. I will learn that later. My goal for today was to just get my hair to curl!

Because it was my brother's graduation party today, I wanted to do a reasonably clean makeup. That means no crazy colors!

First I put on a primer that I got yesterday. I had not used that primer before and I can say I will buy it again.

Then I put some pearly lemonlike yellow on the lid. Then I used a burgundy color in the outer corner and in the crease.

I love my black cake eye liner. It is the kind you mix with water. After the eyeliner I put black mascara on my top and bottom lashes. I lined my lower lash line with a dark brown eyeshadow, about 2/3 from the outer corner towards the inner corner.

This is one of my everyday makeup looks and because of the burgundy, my green eyes really pop out and the green is enhanced.

Searching For Jenny

I went out wit HuiKuen & her housemates yesterday night.

HuiKuen suddenly passed me her phone halfway through the movie

then i saw this : "Where are you now?! Ur mum is looking for you!"

i saw the sender number afterwards, it's from Mr.Shuai
(i wondered how he knew my classmate's phone number)

I started to feel quite worried as my phone was out of battery

it was already around twelve o'clock,
and my mum had never called me at midnite

after the movie another classmate of mine, XiaoHui, called HuiKuen,told me that my mum was looking for me

then HuiKuen said there was missed calls from CaiYu also

so i called my mum immediately, asked her why she was finding me so urgently

then she said: "I called to ur hostel then your housemates said u haven't back from school yet, so i called to ur handphone but i couldn't get you. Nothing urgent, just want to ask you where are you. I am going to bed... *yawn*... "

Speechless.

I asked ZhiQi & called Mr.Shuai when i got home.

The thing happened like this, ZhiQi felt a bit worry as I was not home yet by eight o' clock, so she called to ah shuai. Then Mr.Shuai smsed to all my classmates and asked them my whereabout. (our phone contacts were accidentally exchanged as i inserted my sim card into his phone last time, that was why he got all my classmates contact number) Then ZhiQi even went to school library to search for me bcoz i told ah shuai i was at the library in the afternoon, while Mr.Shuai bombed my phone with "numerous" messages & missed calls = =''

Even AiLing also asked what happened to me last nite. OMG

I am extremely sorry and I want to apologize here as I should tell ZhiQi earlier that i wil be late to be home b4 my phone run out of battery... But i has never expected that you all will searching high and low for me as I am just... ermmmm *a bit late* for going home. LOL

Sorry to my classmates too.

I assure that i will "try my best" not to bring a low battery phone and go out again,not even once =X

Mascara guard

I do not understand my luck. This is just plain weird. I have taken part in three giveaways, I mean blog giveaways, and I have won each time. I took part in a giveaway a while ago and guess what. I won! :D It's so exciting! It was Nea/Fashioned in Finland's giveaway.

I got a mascara guard. It looks like this. She got it from Hong Kong, as you can see from the picture all the text is in Chinese.. I do not know how to read it, but I don't really need to.

Thank you for the mascara guard!

If you get mascara on your lids when you are about to apply it, you just put this close to your lashes (upper or lower depending where you want to apply it) and then put on mascara. Simple. And that way no mascara gets on your eye lids and your eye shadow wont get messed up. ;)

I have found one mascara which has a brush that I really can work with, some brushes are too small and some are too big so they get messy. This is very useful when used with that kind of mascaras.

It also has the lash separator-things on the other end as you can see from the picture.

I don't know where you can get these. From Hong Kong of course, but where else I don't know.

Other tricks to avoid getting mascara on your lids is using a business card or your finger close to your lashes, so then the excess mascara will go on the business card or your finger.

Agitated

煩啊。我也不知道我怎麼突然那麼煩躁。

最近一直被人問：你跟你男朋友分手了啊？

是因為上一篇的COMMENT嗎？

甚至連俊光都傳簡訊問我說：你又分手了啊？

是怎樣，我們沒有分手啊 = =

應該是我家MR. SHUAI的comment讓人大誤了吧，對不起~

有哪對情侶不吵架啊...我們只是吵架吵到他推我撞牆，我推他下樓，

然後瀕臨分手而已【啥？！】

不過現在沒事了~哇哈哈哈~

甚至連他MEETOTO的朋友都說：我聽說你跟你女朋友前天分手了...

後來他澄清了沒有之後，那個朋友居然說：哎呀，我還以為我可以乘虛而入了...

^^凸，我們做人，最重要就是要有宗旨

什麽鬼！是怎樣！要的話統統都打包走啦！乘什麽虛，入你個死人頭啦！

不要罵人了。我要祝人家生日快樂了啦！

彭伶敏，生日快樂啦~~~ 【大愛】

我真的很希望你總有一天會來MMU陪我~~~！！！IT IS TRUE！！！



曾馨儀，生日快樂啦~~~【大心】

我真的很希望...希望...嗯，我對你沒有什麽期望。唉. . . . . .



好啦，我去睡了~ 【累】

【突兀】

17:53 ❤ 煩悶的下午做的閃圖。

剛才看到了茱陪的MSN名字....【小陸*大米說：要小心男人。】 PS：贊同。



四個小時過去了。

爲什麽你還是一樣不曾理會過我的感受？

大概凌晨一點多 ❤ 和他在MSN偶遇

我們都快失聯將近四個月了說。

剛洗好澡，查看MSN好友名單的時候卻看見他上線了

於是我NUDGE了他，然後有一句沒一句的聊了起來。

*click on it to enlarge*

這啥？他說可以是人的身體，也可以是動物。
PS: babei in cantonese = 囂張

現在看到還是覺得很爆笑【噗】 哈哈哈哈哈哈

他所謂的恐龍啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈


你還是很容易就能夠讓我笑了 =)

Crying Like A Child

今天我一個人 哭了好久好久

長途巴士總是讓人覺得好安靜

因為我們不過是抱著不一樣的心事,

碰巧來到同一個目的地的一群陌生人，僅此而已

我坐的位子是單人座位 所以我把臉別向窗的方向

然後開始哭了起來 久久不能自己

儘管整個巴士靜得我只聽得見我的啜泣聲 亦沒有人發現我哭了

“就算以後沒有你爸爸了，
我們三個還是要開開心心的過下去. . .
再辛苦都要過下去”

“你是我的女友啊...不是小孩...成熟點可以嗎？
不要讓我覺得那麼累可以嗎？！”

“你的爸爸已經不是以前的那個他了，
以前的那個他找不回來了，我已經看開了. . .”

“朵朵...你有沒有想過...這個世界不是因為你而轉的，
不是所有的東西都要順你的意的。”

這幾天我經歷的事情，你們很難想像。

我被逼著長大，我必須要學著很多事情，我總是一個人面對。

因為我是長女。因為我是這個家的長女。

我毫無在別人面前哭的勇氣，只可以在他們爭吵后的凌晨三四點關上房門放聲大哭，

直到天亮了，沉沉的睡去，然後明天繼續。

儘管我還是很想像孩子般真心的大笑，然後因為一些小事就可以滿足一整天。

然而我還是很無能為力，像孩子般做不了什麽，只能像現在這樣子對著屏幕哭泣。

Mid Autumn Festival

中秋節快樂啊各位~願你們在剛過去的中秋節都好。

話說在中秋節當天中午~
我莫名其妙的接到了一通電話然後莫名其妙的上了一艘賊船？！



哎呀。不是啦~我是上了明輝的小MYVI啦...

然後一車5人就浩浩蕩蕩來到了PASIR GUDANG的港口，看到了. . . . . .

鏘鏘鏘鏘~ MV DOULOS.忠仆號。

這艘已經在各大洋橫行了95年的老船據說會到各個國家航行，
直到它年屆100歲為止。

船上所有的工作人員都是義務在船上工作的。

不管是船員，到餐廳的廚師，到負責清理的員工，一概都是不受分毫隨著這艘老船航行到各個國家去，就是爲了在它航行100年以前可以讓不同國家的人們見識到它的英姿啦~！

話說回來，這次怎麼會有5個人同行呢？

me & YenJou at the entrance of MV DOULOS

YenJou and HaoTing 神父！( ⊙ o ⊙ )！

Weee Weee~~~MingHui & camera-shy QiWen

*never camera-shy* me XD

the book exhibition

HaoTing greeted with a crew member enthusiastically

沒錯！這次的忠仆號之行讓我見到了久仰大名的神父a.k.a豪庭《--不知是不是這樣寫

我是在相處了差不多1小時后才驚覺原來他就是他們口中的神父。
結論是他果然是神父。

在回程的時候我們有一句沒一句的聊了起來。

我：你生氣的時候會罵粗話嗎？

豪庭：不會啊。因為如果你生氣的時候罵粗話，其實也是沒有幫上什麽的。而且其實罵粗話是用情理處理事情的一種作法。

我：哦~那應該要用“什麽”來處理事情咧？

豪庭：要用真理。

我：【驚+退後】HUH？！ 【小小聲】晏柔，我們要遠離他~ ~ ~

明輝：不是什麽事情都可以用真理的嗎~nah take it as example huh,如果你看到你的女朋友在跟另外一個boy boy kiss,你會怎樣？

豪庭：我覺得我會悲傷大於憤怒咯。因為其實你生氣一個人，同時你也在讓你自己不好受。

我：可是除了悲傷你會怎樣處理這件事情咧？

豪庭：我會把事情弄清楚。就問那個女生是怎麼一回事啊。

我：如果她就講：我就是跟他KISS！你要怎樣！【其他人笑翻】

豪庭：【傻笑】. . . . . .

哈哈哈...好啦，其實豪庭是很虔誠的基督教徒。不要鬧他了 (╯□╰)

過後明輝就把我載到我大姐的新家了。我大姐的新家還真是很大呢~

the only food pic【as i was so busy eating them】

【staring at me】我二哥's兒子，夢揚

【glaring】that's why i said children are monster, for me.
especially when they cry ><

還是初生的BB比較可愛。二姐's兒子，小寶

【cuteeeeee】小寶，你這什麽表情？哈哈

因為二姐必須出席好友的婚禮的關係，
昨天在五福城的北京樓補請了一桌小寶的滿月酒

我姐說，那裡的喜酒或是新年的團圓飯席要從幾個月前就開始訂，不然通常都是FULL了的。【重點是那裡有至少四個專設擺喜酒的大廳，一間可以容納100桌】

像我們普通去吃飯都是用另外一個設來讓別人用餐的地方的。

昨天我們去吃飯的時候用餐的地方都滿了，
而且我姐訂的還是VIP廂房，都滿了 = =

看到帳單的時候有點傻眼. . . RM 548.40. . . . . . 囧

這餐就這樣吃掉了一些打工族半個月的薪水。

我只能說，新山有錢人真是多。我二姐也是。我要向她看齊！！！~ ~ ~

【不要發夢了。醒來吧！蕾夢娜！！！~ ~ ~】
