Twilove

I actually didn't know the word "Twilove" actually exsisted. Well, not dictionary-existed but existed in a sense that people already came up with the word and made it foundable in Google. (Nvm if u dun get wad i am saying >_<.)
So, I just thought of the word Twilove because I wanna say I am in love with Twilight. Hence, Twilove. And, I Googled it, and theres this website that also says Twilove created by people who feel the love for Twilight, like me. :D
I am now half way through Eclipse and am totally loving the feeling of holding it in my hands and digging deep into imagining every scene in the book. It's even easier to imagine since Edward, Bella and Jacob now  has faces. I mean, because of the movies, they help even more in the imaginating-when-reading-thing. You know? (which brings down Edward because ahem Pattinson isn't exactly huge-buff-too-hot [to me] >_<. sorry edward fans) Anyway, the author, Stephenie Meyer is just an awesome writer. Even my little brother enjoys the Twilight books. The way she writes the books is just, so interesting, simple, understandable.
Anyway, why I suddenly talk about this is because the other day, I was waiting for Twilight on Astro and so I info-ed it seeing how they would describe the movie. This was it:
That's all!??!?! I mean... That's ALL!?!??!! T.T For a story so so so perfect, so interesting, so romantic, so popular,... they described it in just one sentence?! "A teenage girl risks everything when she falls in love with a vampire". Sounds so...... sad. T.T
Sorry, not Astro's fault. Just, am too in love with the whole Twilight saga thing. The stories are really interesting. 
Neways, I am a Jacob Black supporter! Boo Edward, whom sometimes is kinda charming also. Ok, no boo Edward. I'm now half way in Eclipse so I dunno where the story is going yet. But I really like Jacob's warmth, friendiness. And he always holding Bella.. eee.. so sweet. >_<. And in the first quarter of the book, Edwards seems like a control-freak which made Jacob even better. But Edward's getting better now.. aahhh.. stop it. I sound like a sixteen year old.
Will talk about Eclipse more after I finish it. Till then, tata.

Pink n white ❤

Love my new nails :D Just because it's light. I really love light colours very much. I wanted to do a whitish design but did pink instead. It's a nearly similar design to the previous dark purple one but these have flowers on instead :D
How I did the whole thing:
1.) Paint 3/4 of my nail in pink. Left 1/4 of the lower triangle blank without nail polish.
2.) Use nail art Silver nail polish and drew 2 lines to smooth out the pink edge.
3.) Dot 5 white dots in a circle. 
4.) When white dots are semi dry, use toothpick to pull lines between the dots, facing inwards. Hence, shape of flower is formed.
5.) Dot middle of flower with silver.
6.) Coat whole nail with a transparentlayer.
The End. :D
Neat and simple.
Just watched a video on using powder to do acrylic nail art. Can't wait to buy some and try to make a flower :D
Nights now. xoxo

School boos

Here I am, back again, with a random update of my current life.
As we all know, mid sem break is over and today, it's back to school. And as far as I know, all my friends in degree dreads the thought of waking up early to get to 830am class this morning. But life must go on as time does. Sigh. I had to literally draaag my body outta bed this morning. It was painful. Classes were worse. I could have just pass out on my chair if my iPhone hadn't kept me entertained.
Why do I despise starting classes again? BecAuse:
1.) Early mornings.
2.) School time starts running which brings deadlines. It's like tick tock tick tock the dynamite's gonna blow. T.T
3.) Pressure because of assignmnet deadlines.
4.) Waste of brain juice because of assignments.
5.) No dilly dallying, doing what I want when I want where I want because I have responsibilities of being a good student.
6.) Pressure for not scoring well from assignmnets.
7.) Exams.
8.) Assignment group work. Seriously, I find it sooo stressful when doing group work because for one, I feel the need to be prepared and extremely knowledgeable about our group work before hand if not, paiseh swt. Secondly, getting along with people is never an easy task, cos no one will think and do things exactly the way you would or want them to. Thirdly, u gotta keep up with each other, which is tiring. Taking our own time is defenitely more enjoyable.
9.) Individual assingmnets. These waste the most brain juice and is prone to last minute completion.
10.) Early mornings.

Sigh, 8.30 class tomorrow morning again. Nights now.
*pass out*

Viva Glam

Got myself the Viva Glam Gaga and Viva Glam Cyndi last week. And I am totally loving them! Look at the packaging, it's toootally cool, with their signatures one em ❤!!!
One lipstick costs RM63. I bought both shades but didn't feel totally guilty :p Why? Because, It's like for a good cause ya know >_<.
What good cause? "Every cent of the selling price of VIVA GLAM Lipstick and Lipglass is donated to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS." More information can be found at M.A.C's website. Therefore girls, don't feel too guilty getting these. It's like, you did something good, and get something absolutely gorgeous in return :p 
The Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper lipstick only lasts for 12 months, so, don't be waiting too long ;)
Neway, lets focus on the packaging. Like all of M.A.C's limited edition stuff, their packaging are different in someways. The Viva Glam collection's ring is red instead of silver.
On both sides are the Viva Glam version and the middle is the normal one.
The most pretty part is under the bullet-shaped casing, There is Lady Gaga's signature on the Viva Glam Gaga packageand Cyndi Lauper's signature on the Viva Glam Cyndi. And both signatures end with a cute symbol of a star and a peace.
Gaga is this light electric Pink colour.
And Cyndi is this bright reddish colour that has a tiny hint of orangey I think.
This is Cyndi's colour.It's a sexy red that I think makes one look more mature. Suitable for work , play, or formal functions.
This is Gaga's colour. It totally brightens up your face. Gives you a young lively feel. Suitable for play or casual. Light colour makeup suits this colour a lot I think. Huge black and smokey eyes too I guess. Can try out Gaga's makeup herself. Oh wait, there are suggested looks for these 2 Viva Glam colours in M.A.C's website as well, here. :D
In conclusion, I love them colours MUCH. Now I have M.A.C's Viva Glam Gaga, Myself and Viva Glam Cyndi. Loving all these colours alot. Oh yeah, they all have a Lustre finish. I think it's the end look, like a crystal like shine or something. ❤!!!!
Go get your Viva Glams soon girls! Raise the awareness of AIDS/HIV!!! :))
Nights fer now ❤

Eyeshadow Blending Brush and some mono eyelid makeup tips

Recently got this: The Body Shop Eye Shadow Blending Brush. Got The Body Shop again because I had their Powder Brush for some time already and it is pretty good. The brush hair is soft and even and after so many washes, it's still perfect. Very good investment indeed, as Sharon would say :p. Another reason why I chose The Body Shop's brushes is because it's cheaper than those big cosmetic brand's brushes and have erm, similar quality? But probably different technology. Eg, MAC's stippling (which I still couldn't bring myself to get.) T.T
So, since I'm learning more about eye shadow and seeing how important eye shadow is in every look, I got myself the blending brush.
This is how the blending brush's brush tip look like:
What I realised from using a proper brush instead of the tiny brushes and sponge tips that comes free with your eye shadow is that, 
Firstly, the application is way easier. Just a few strokes can cover your entire eye with the eye shadow. 
Secondly, blending is sooooo easy and much more smoother and natural looking. 
Thirdly, it really helps you save your product. I realised that when I use the tiny brush, I'm like constantly rubbing my eye shadow colour out to make sure enough is on the brush. But with a proper eye shadow brush, a stroke or a few dabs is enough. 
So, I definitely recommend you girls out there to get an eye shadow brush, preferably, the blending brush :D

Next, some knowledge I shall share for  girls who have mono/ single eye lids out there, from my humble makeup experimenting experiences. 
So yeah, some of us Asians have, well, smaller, flatter and rather sleepy looking eyes. But, simple makeup can really do wonders :D You just gotta keep experimenting.
As you can see, I have true mono lids. No double line above my eye. It isn't a bad thing, but it does make me look sleepy and bored most of the time, says some of my friends when I was younger haha. My last Indonesian maid liked it though, said it was special.
Anyway, see how much difference one can make with just a few simple makeup steps.
Firstly, eyeshadow. Mono eyelids tend to happen to most people with buldging eyes, therefore, to make the eyes look a little bit deeper, highlight the brow bone, and darken the lid. Blend well. Not much elaboration  on eye shadow cos Youtube is full of it. The picture doesn't really show my eye shadow because it was bright and also because I only applied a thin layer.
Next, eye liner is the SAVIOUR. You can shape your eye to anything you like it to be! Even if one side is bigger than the other. Haha. Just takes practice. For mono lids, we gotta apply a really thick layer of eyeliner. As in, approximately 0.5cm from lash line. Then, only when you open your eyes, will you see your black liner. However, DO NOT line your lower lash with black liner all the way. It will look WEIRD. Because your upper eye is already thin, having an equal thickness on the lower of your eye just looks wrong. ONLY line the bottom outter corner of the eye. That would be enough to open the eye.
Finally, mascara. Mascara always help open up your eyes. If you have droopy lashes like mine, a few clips with the lash curler and some strong mascara will def help. Lower lash can be mascara-ed too. I'm using Majolica Majorca mascara because it can last like the entire day without getting smudged or drop or anything. Neat stuff!
And if you're aiming for extra brightness and larger eyes, fake lashes are the BOMB! They not only enhance your mascara and eyeliner, they also give you, DOUBLE EYE LIDS! Kinda serves the same function as the double-eyelid tape. I usually stick my fake lashes around 0.2 or 0.3cm higher up from my lash line because the lid is gonna fold in anyway. The higher it is, the larger the fold, hence, double lids!

That's all for now. Hope that helped someone out there and hope you can get what I actually meant. Haha. You may comment or email if there are doubts.
Nites now.
