This reminds me of a flag.

This reminds me a little of the Czech flag. Not so much because of the colors, but because of the placing.

All eyeshadows are by Glamour Doll. I used Bare Naked, Summer Skies and Island Chic.



Bare Naked in the inner corner and Island Chic no the rest half of the lid and crease. Summer Skies is placed directly on Island Chic in the crease. Island Chic is very purple, like on the lower lash line if you can see, but on Island Chic it looks quite blueish.


Now continuing to watch the Olympics.

Lift Your Soul & Heal My Hurt



自從他們分手后,

不知怎麼的這位前女友&前前女友竟然因為那個莫名的謠言而成了好朋友。

這絕對是我萬萬想不到的事。

畢竟,還跟他在一起的時侯總是會對他的舊情人們有些心結。

況且,我也很膚淺的覺得,舊情人們之間,

關係再怎麼微妙也不可能會是成為好朋友的關係。

然而在一陣突如其來的變化中,我們倆真的變成了那無法被我自己認同的關係。

她居然有那麼一天會到我家過夜一起聊心事,居然還可以無所不談。

原來他曾經愛過的兩個她都很像,在很多事情上有一種無法言語的默契,

比如說,我們誰也不曾在誰的面前提起過他。

畫面忽然帶到了我正在漫無目的的跟鼠標一起在她的手提電腦上晃著晃著。

夢快要醒了,當我點擊進入那一個相冊文件夾。

怎麼會是這樣?!怎麼可以是這樣?!

還記得那天,那個偶然從別人口中聽到的傳言,讓我慌神了一整天。

“聽說他們兩個好像複合了。”

“啊?是真的嗎?你確定嗎?”

“嗯,我是聽可靠消息得知的。好像從那場聖誕節前夕的旅行就複合了啊。”

“不對啊...那時候我跟運都還沒有分手耶!”

“聖誕節你有跟他在一起嗎?”

“有啊!我們一起去了教堂耶。”

“那...聖誕節前夕呢?大概是前一個星期吧。”

“嗯...那時沒有...那個時候他回去家鄉了啊。那時候他的學校正在放假呢。”

“那場複合之旅好像就是在那個時候哦。”

“是嗎...可是她有把旅行的照片放上面子書啊,我都沒有看到任何他們的合照或是他也有同行的痕跡啊...”

“都說那時候你們還沒有分手了,又怎麼可能把有他的照片放上去啊?!”

接下來的一整天我的思緒都陷入一片混亂中,心想:不可能。

我和他之間的戀情會結束,絕對不會是因為他跟舊情人複合了。

不,不會的。

直到回到家就一股腦的登入面子書,然後按下了右下角的聊天室對話欄。

我不知道這是我跟她友情的開始、讓我寬心了的真相的破解、抑或是夢魘的開始?

“不好意思...你在嗎?我有些問題想問你...”

“??”

“是這樣的...我想問你...你面子書里的那個旅行照片...運也有同行嗎?”

心跳指數在打完這句后急速飆升,感覺臉頰都通紅了起來。

“怎麼可能?!我跟他已經很久很久沒有聯絡了啦@@”

“哦~謝謝你。不好意思,我好像問了愚蠢的問題...你知道,謠言本來就很可怕...”

“沒關係...你跟他怎樣了?”

“哦...我們剛分手了..."

“啊,對不起@@”

“沒關係 =)”

這時我才憶起了全部全部,原來這些我一直以為的真相才是真正的謊言...

除非在我眼前這一張一張他們的合照,都只是一場夢...

她又忽然出現在畫面中了。她忽然走進了我的房間。

“朵朵,你在看什麽?”

“這些照片是什麽?爲什麽那時你對我否認你們其實在一起了?”

“啊,你看到了?好吧,沒關係,對啊,我們是在一起了,到現在也是,又怎樣?你大概管不著吧,你又能做什麽?哈哈,不如想想你自己現在到底是什麽身份吧!”

我忽然覺得一陣昏眩,那股難以言喻的窒息感只讓我飚著眼淚的衝進了洗手間...

用手擦掉了眼角的淚水,原來,真的都只是一場夢啊...

“幸好,幸好。”

昨天的午夜三點四十分,在鏡子前,我哭著對自己說。

Spring Festival - Let's Get Together

I changed my blog to a very EMO tune with the OST of this japanese movie.
"Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu". (Mandarin title : 借着雨点说爱你 / 现在,很想见你)

When two souls find one anoter , nothing can tear them apart.



This movie simply made me cry! Believe me, it is a must watch movie! You will find that you just can't keep your tears in with the heart-warming acting & also the story line. Well if you're interested with this movie you can also request it from me. *winks*

I spent my chinese new year eve & the very first day with Dad at my hometown. I couldn't follow my Mum to visit my aunt at Singapore as I forgot to bring my passport back from Malacca. Why am I always being so muddle-headed? Facebook, taiwan drama Autumn's Concerto & snacks accompanied me with those two days. NO steamboat & NO red packets from my paternal relatives (Since it have not reached 1 year from my grandmum's death. - It's Chinese custom.) My chinese new year celebration sounds so pathetic right? ="(

But it is only for those two days as my Mum came back from SG on the second day of CNY. We went to visit my Sis at JB. What I could do there is EAT EAT and EAT and made myself more puffed up =( Also, I enjoyed spending the time with my dearest family =)

And of course, the annual gathering with my hometown besties =D

MingHui & me @ his house.

EK : eh why you looked so far away from me in this photo?

Me : Okay lar let's take another closer one.
(Long time no see very embarassing mah! XD)


Me. Gyvinne.

With AhToi & her cousin.

Try to act a stern face like CK but I failed.

Wonder why CK's face looked so puffy that day, hahaha


They are having a long-distance relationship. Can you see that? XD

Sometimes I can't smile naturally when taking photos, like what you have seen in this photo. I just realised that this is my first ever photo with WeiQuan lar!!!

SinJu & me.

KarOnn insisted to grab the mandarin oranges while taking photos with everyone.

This photo looks so funny lar. Don't think too much I was just wanted to see the iPhone lar wei!

A candid snapshot.

I love this photo which taken by EK.

Wish you all have a real fun CNY!

About 3 Mascaras... review part 3 - Lumene Natural Code Eye Dramatizer Volumizing Mascara

This is the third part of a three-part mascara review. This review is about the Lumene Natural Code Eye Dramatizer Volumizing mascara. First part of the review series can be found here. Second part can be found here.

I am reviewing three mascaras and the first two pictures of each mascara are taken when I have applied 2-3 coats of mascara. The last two pictures are then when I have applied several coats of that mascara.

These three I am reviewing. First one is the Maybelline Volum' Express (in black) that's in the middle of the picture. Second mascara will be Max Factor's False Lash Effect (in black, not waterproof), and the last one is Lumene Natural Code Eye Dramatizer Volumizing Mascara (in blackest black).

The brush for this mascara is large. I had trouble using it at first because I just kept making a mess. It gets easier eventually. There are a lot of bristles, they're long and most importantly they are soft. This mascara does not smell at all like some other mascaras.

From these first two pictures you can see the result after 2-3 coats. The lashes are very separated and appear a little longer, or then it is just wishful thinking. I however, don't see any addition in volume. In the lower picture is looks kind of like I wouldn't have any mascara on. So it seems to give a very natural result, but not a very volumous result.


The color of this mascara is Blackest black. I'm not really seeing that, at least not in the picture directly above this sentence.

In the last two pictures I have applied several, several coats and now I am liking the result. I still don't think it really gives me the volume that I want, but I'd say this is a good daily mascara. And now my lashes look dark too. I curl my lashes before applying mascara and I feel like this holds the curl well. Other mascaras only hold for about half and hour, and then my lashes are very slightly curly, but this seems to hold the curl a little longer. I have issues with curling my lashes or my hair, the curls just wont hold, so I don't have big expectations about a mascara holding the curls.


This is applied by the zic-zag-motion.

There is 8 ml of product.

I don't have the receipt left anymore, but I believe this cost something like 7-9 euros. It was not more than 10 euros for sure.

I could buy this again, unlike the Max Factor one. This one does not smell and the bristles are very soft. The brush is slightly big for me, but nothing that can't be fixed. I'm still going to stick with the Maybelline Volum' Express.



Were these reviews useful for you?

Tutorial - Recreation of MissChievous' Dark Androgynous look

This look is a recreation of this look. It's by a youtube makeup guru MissChievous.

Final result. Not an everyday makeup look for sure! But great still.


And this is how you do it:


I used NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Black bean as a base. I put some MAC Delft paint pot on top of that. Don't worry, it looks like a mess, but it will end up looking great. :D


Dusk by Glamour Doll in the crease using like a windshield wiper motion, like so.

If you can, add some black base to your lower lash line and some eyeshadow you wish to use in the crease. I'm not using the exact same products as Julia/MissChievous because I don't have them, so you can replase all the products by what you have of course.

Take a soft black liner pencil and put that on your lid, not just a small thin line, but on your entire lid up to the crease. Pat it down with a finger and blend the line a little with the eyeshadow in the crease. Then I put some matte black eyeshadow by Grimas on top of the black liner.

If you feel like you didn't put enough of eyeshadow in the crease feel free to add some. I did.

Line your lower lash line and lower water line with a black pencil liner, add some matte black eyeshadow to set it. I have some Dusk and NYX's Black bean in there as well.

Take a skin colored eyeshadow to clean up and blend the outlines and possible mess you made! I sure did.

Make sure your eyebrows are strong and clean looking. Add a highlight of choice below your brows. I used Grimas' matte offwhite.

Add some mascara to both upper and lower lashes.

Listen to My Heart

沒有考慮太多 踏上巴士的這一刻 心情完全是很離譜的平靜

我心裡想的只有站在他宿舍門口的時候,該怎麼知會他我來了

我想,就敲敲他房間窗戶的玻璃吧

還記得他幫我從那扇窗遞過早餐的那一個早晨

現在想起來突然很害怕待會兒看見的只會是一雙冷冷的眼神

巴士終於開了 而我的心情也不自覺的有點害怕

到那裡大概已經是晚上十點多了吧

此刻,我想我愛瘋了 可是儘管如此又如何?

別問我值不值得 至少我刻骨銘心的愛過 傷過 痛過 畏畏縮縮的就不會是我

因為你,我有過最真實的付出,謝謝你

那天,會是我這個十八歲最難忘的一天。

那個炎熱的下午在我離開以前 我們在麥當勞咀嚼的不只是薯條和漢堡

而是多了我們始終沒有厘清的問題 還有你跟她們之間的種種所引起的我的不安

而最後我還是沒有辦法接受你給的答案

我們又可以像從前那樣 因為我真的的這麼以為著

聽著你的一句一句 我像個聆聽著最後審訊的犯人

死死的咬著吸管 垂著頭讓眼淚可以一行一行的順著臉頰滑落

你碰了碰我的下巴 讓淚水沾濕了你的手腕 硬生生說了句:別哭了。

然後站起來就拉著我離開要去車站 我還是很倔強的

我倔強的推開你 不願意讓你跟著我 也可以說是不願意再讓你看到這樣的我

可是你還是硬尾隨著我到了車站 我真的很氣你

爲什麽都說要離開了還硬是要跟著我

我不想讓你看到我在你面前掉下不捨得的眼淚 我知道這樣子的我顯得很弱

在那個跟這座城市格格不入的老舊車站 我用滿是淚水的眼睛直直的望著你

那一刻好想就這樣瞬間靜止所有一切 至少我還可以從你的瞳孔看見我自己的臉龐

仿佛可以矇騙得過自己的心,這就是我還在你的心裡的證據。

不管你在我離去的最後十五分鐘前許下的那些承諾

是出於你的同理心,還是你的真心,我全部都相信,真的。

我會等的,等那一天實現。

就算接下來只有我一個人必須堅強的跟思念你的日子對抗著。

我說過了,在踏上歸途前,你最後的的擁抱對我而言就是莫大的力量。

謝謝你現在還是願意給我一點點你的時間。儘管只是一點點。

明天是情人節

我反復地聽著這首歌倒數著時間。

從那一天 原諒你的瞬間
我不過情人節 我和未來不再相戀
愛斷了線 於是我每天都過想你的離人節
不再見面 不代表我不再對你想念
你是曾經的永遠 會永遠在我身邊

我愛你。

About 3 Mascaras... review part 2 - Max Factor False Lash Effect

This is the second part of a three-part mascara review. This review is about the Max Factor False Lash Effect. First part of the review series can ban be found here.

I am reviewing three mascaras and the first two pictures of each mascara are taken when I have applied 2-3 coats of mascara. The last two pictures are then when I have applied several coats of that mascara.

These three I am reviewing. First one is the Maybelline Volum' Express (in black) that's in the middle of the picture. Second mascara will be Max Factor's False Lash Effect (in black, not waterproof), and the last one is Lumene Natural Code Eye Dramatizer Volumizing Mascara (in blackest black).


As you can see the Max Factor mascara wand looks different from the Maybelline one. This one is thinner from one end and the bristle length varies and they are quite dense in the end. The bristles are made of rubber. I hear it is very common for a volumizing mascara to have this type of a wand. The bristles are dense and have a lot of product in them so that should create the volume.

The Max Factor False Lash Effect is supposed to double the volume of your lashes and make it seem like you'd be wearing false lashes. The pictures above and below have 2-3 coats of mascara.

I read online somewhere that when you use this mascara the 'traditional' method of doing zic-zac-motion in the base of your lashes and then bringing the wand up towards the tips of your lashes wouldn't give you the results you want. It didn't.

I read about another way of applying this mascara. You kind of roll the mascara wand slowly up and away from you, the way you would use a rolling pin kind of, and then moving the brush up towards the tips of your lashes. 2-3 coats should be enough to give you your wished look. Well did it work? Look at the pictures above and see for yourself. (edit. this is where I read about the other method of applying. Blog is in Finnish only.)

The two pictures below have several coats of mascara, applied on by using both of the methods, the rolling method and the zic-zac method.



If you wear contact lenses you can use this mascara. It is ophthalmologically tested.

There is 13.1 ml of product. It cost 16.70€ ($22.85).

The bristles are really hard. I apply mascara to the very bottom of my lashes and when I do that the bristles do touch the upper (and lower) waterline, and the bristles made the waterline a little red because they were so hard.

This mascara is supposed to be fragrance free. It smells really strong, like paint. I don't like that. It's a very strong smell.

This is not the waterproof version. It can be easily removed with makeup remover. It did not smudge when I walked in rain, so it does stay on your lashes, but I haven't tested it in the swimming pool so can't say anything about how much water it can stand.

I had heard a lot of good things about this mascara so I was expecting great results. I am not that pleased. It gives me basically the same results as the Maybelline mascara I reviewed earlier, the only difference is that this one smells really bad and the bristles are really hard. I'm going to stick with the Maybelline mascara and just use this up and not buy this one again.

I hear this Max Factor False Lash Effect is the sister mascara for the CoverGirl Lash Blast. The tubes look the same and the wands and bristles, just different colors. I mean that CoverGirl LB is sold in the US but Max Factor FLE in Europe? Max Factor and CoverGirl are both owned by Procter & Gamble so go figure.


Do you have a completely different opinion of this mascara than I do? Let's hear it.
