2014

"Start 2014 off with an empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen. On new years eve, empty it and see what awesome stuff happened that year. You'll be amazed."
I did this last year and I can assure you that it is definitely worth it.
All you need is a jar. 
Give it a try. 

♡ I'm doing it, are you? ♡

2013 Favourites

Favourite Beauty Products: 

Favourite Fragrance

Dreams Unlimited by The Body shop 
Description based on the website : This exhilarating fragrance features notes of citrus, green chilli, white flowers and cedarwood.
As for me, I would say it's something feminine and musky.


 Someday by Justin Bieber 
This is his firs
t perfume which I absolutely love. It has a sweet scent, very girly and dreamy. Just like how someday I'd get to meet him.




               

Favourite Nail Polish 

You're Such a Budapest (left) and Suzi's Hungry AGAIN (right)
I got them from the Euro Centrale Mini Dotticure set by OPI.
You're Such a Budapest is a lilac colour, which is one of my favourite colours! Suzi's Hungry AGAIN is more on the brighter side. These nail polishes are quite sheer, you definitely need two coats or more to get the exact colour as seen in the bottle! 

Favourite Lip Product 

From left ; Revlon - Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach / 245 ; Revlon - Colour Burst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart / 090 ; Maybeline - Colour Sensational in RP41 (it's showing up a little too bright in the picture) ; Maybeline - Baby Lips in Anti-Oxidant Berry. On bottom ;  Revlon - Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous / 040 

 

 Favourite Face/Eye/Skin Product

Photogenic Concealer by The Face Shop
I really like that this has a double side as I can choose if I to cover up my imperfection slightly more or less. On days where I didn't have a good night sleep, I'd use the liquid end. The stick concealer makes it super easy to apply and blend as well. 

Maybeline - The Falsies Volum' Express in Waterproof (top) ; The Face Shop - Freshian Volumizing Mascara (01 Curling) 

Duo Beurre Corporel Body Butter by The Body Shop
I love body butters and it's a bonus that this is a duo! There is a side for dry skin and another for normal skin. That is so convenient because you can use the dry skin side during the winter and you wouldn't have to spend extra money on a different one. Not to forget that it also has an amazing scent like flowers and berries. 

Random Favourites: 

I usually have a bar of this to kick start my day. It has a variety of nuts and some of my favourites like almond and hazelnut.

I always pamper myself with some hot lemon tea before sleep. I like to add a slice of lemon and a packet of sugar. 

 Songs/Album 

Lorde's  Pure Heroine album
Justin Bieber's Believe album (even though it was last year's)

Movies

The Hunger Games : Catching Fire
Now You See Me

 TV shows 

The Originals & The Carrie Diaries

Books 

The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks
One Day by David Nicholls
The Perks of being a Wallflower by Stephan Chbosky (It was out in 2012 but I reread it and loved it)

Gifts Idea for Her

Lack of gifts idea for your sisters, girlfriend and best friend? Here are some of the things that I think a girl would like to receive. Hopefully the girl you're shopping for, would like all these gifts as well! 

1. Naked 3 Palette 
Eye shadow girl? She will love this new palette by Urban Decay! This palette is a little more on the pinkish side compared to the Naked 1 and 2 palette. Have a look at how it looks like here! You can get it at Sephora!

2. Lorac Pro To Go
This would make a perfect gift for someone who is always travelling. This palette has almost everything you need. It comes with 6 eyeshadows, 2 blushes and a bronzer. There are 2 mini brushes and a mirror. The palette has a packaging that folds up to be travel-friendly. Have a look for yourself here!

3. Perfume / Body mists
I personally looooove perfumes and body mists. They just make me feel so happy. Here are some of my favourites :
body mists by Victoria Secret (RM80)
Includes : Love Spell, Coconut Passion, Pure Daydream, Mango Temptation and Pure Seduction. 60ml each. Get your hands on this if you can! It's an amazing deal!
Dreams Unlimited by The Body Shop
I personally have this and I love it!
- Our Moment by One Direction
Perfect for your Directioner girl!

4. Candles
A scented candles can absolutely change up the mood of a person. Lavender is my favourite scent, it helps me sleep better at night. You can get candles with decorations on the container like this from Ikea. They can be used as decor around the house.

5. Goody baskets 
You can put together some of her favourite things in a box for her. Buying gift sets are much cheaper as you can split up the items among a few person. Here are some ideas of what you can put in the basket :
- nail polishes
- lip products (lip balm / lipsticks)
- mini roller ball perfume
- eyeshadow quads
- cute pair of socks

6. Gift cards to their favourite place / store
When all fails, you can always get them a gift card to wherever they want. This, you won't even have to crack your head trying to figure out what they would like to receive. Starbucks, Forever 21, H&M, Cotton On and many others!

♡ Are these ideas any good? ♡

#OOTD : Wedding Dinner

The Peppermint Mocha Frap from Starbucks is amazing!
Hello there! Last week, I was invited to my cousin's wedding dinner and this is what I wore. So, I thought why not make a post about it right? The dress that I wore had a slightly see-through back so, I wore a black bandeau underneath. I accessorise my black lace dress with a lilac statement necklace and to add a pop of colour, I opted for a neon pink skinny belt. To tone things down a little, I paired my outfit with a grey sling bag that can also be used as a handbag and clutch as the straps are removable. To complete the look, I went with a pair of black wedges heel. 

Dress : Topshop Petite
Necklace : Forever 21 // Belt : Forever 21
Bag : Bonita // Heels : Summit
Sorry for the bad quality photos (it was taken at 12pm after the event)

♡ Yay or Nay for this outfit? ♡

Gifts Idea for Him

I know how hard it is to buy gifts for a guy, let it be your boyfriend or your brother. So, I've come up with a few gifts idea that hopefully can help you out! ☺ 

The music lover: 
If he is a music lover, a new set of earphones or earbuds would be the perfect gift for him! If you think he prefers headphones, I would recommend you to get him Beats By Dr. Dre. They also have earbuds if that's what you're looking for. For a cheaper alternative, you can also go for earbuds by Skull Candy. You can easily get your hands on them at any Quicksilver/Roxy store! There are also a huge selection of style and colours for you to choose from.

The clumsy guy w/ a phone: 
If he's got a phone but only has one phone case, you've already figured out what to get him! Yes, a new phone case! There are so many style, colour and texture to choose from (depending on the type of phone he uses) If he uses an iPhone, you can get phone cases basically anywhere! Keep an eye out for phone cases with his favourite colour and if you don't know his favourite colour (which you should), I would recommend to go for dark colours (blue & black)

The comfy one: 
Get him a hoodie! You can go crazy with the graphic ones or go classic with the plain ones. 'cause lets be honest, you're gonna be the one using it the most in the end (at least thats what I do) I would suggest you to get them from Uniqlo because my brother has one and he loves it. The prices aren't too bad as well. So, that's a win win situation! 

It's time for a new wallet:
There are many different types of wallet to choose from. But really, everything depends on your budget and the age group of the person you're shopping for. If he is still a kid, I'd suggest you to get him a wallet with his favourite colour and it'll be better if it is made out of material that can be washed. So you don't have to worry if it's dirty. For teens and adults, I think they would much prefer a wallet that is well made and can be used for a very long time. Leather would be a great option.

The gamer: 
A fan of PS3, PS4 or Xbox? Get him a new game that he's been eyeing for a long time. If you don't know what games he want, it's always great to have more controllers around. Get him the ones with a slightly different design. He will love it, trust me.

♡ Have a lovely day ahead! ♡

Nails Of The Week : Baby blue monster


Yesterday, my best friend treated me a free manicure. How could I possibly say no to that? But I did pay extra for the design thats on my ring fingers. As to why I chose a baby blue colour, I wanted a soft and sweet colour. The lady who did my nails said that my nails are like baby's! I love the feel of freshly painted nails, is it just me?   

Heres a closer look to the design : 

♡ Baby blue has got to be one of my favourite colours ♡
