How To : Tie a Tie

This post is specially dedicated to my dearest friend, Merlyn that is getting married this Sunday. 

I hope the step by step guide will be of some help on the big day!!

The lines on the tie is a good indicator to know where to place
 the tie. It should rest nicely between your neck and chest bone

1. The shorter / thinner side of the tie
2. The longer / thicker side of the tie

Pull 1 and 3 at the same time to tighten the tie

Bring down the collar, adjust accordingly and
voila, you are done.

There is a normally a hole at the back of the tie

Remember to place the thinner side of the tie inside it, so it wont be flapping out 

This is one of the easiest and fastest way to tie a tie, hope this helps!!

Review : Kate reflect mirror eyes

For those of you who likes the 'light' make up look, this is something you might want to try.

The colours are more shimmery than pigmented. It gives you the glittery look with a hinch of goldish-brown tone which I really like.

KATE - reflect mirror eyes BR-1

I generally like this eyeshadow, but you cant really use it by itself for an everyday use as it is very very shimmery. With that being said, if u were to use a matt eyeshadow and dap a little of these colours on top of it, it will give you the right amount of pop you need for your eyes to sparkle.

Watsons are equally dangerous as Sephora

I love visiting drugstores like Watsons. Not only do they carry a whole load of different brands like Revlon, Loreal, Maybelline, ZA but they started bringing in Japanese brands like Dolly Wink and Canmake (which i totally love). Prices are also much more affordable.

Last Wednesday, Watsons are having a promotion for cardmembers (20%+10%+6% cash rebate) - Yes, thats a whole lots of discount. So while I was having my break, I went to watsons to get few stuff.

Loreal - Super Liner

Canmake - Cream Cheek 

Kate - Reflect mirror eyeshadow

Silkygirl - Double intense gel eyeliner

Canmake - Crack Lac nail polish

Revlon - colorburst lipstick

Dolly Wink lashes

Will defintely do a review on these products soon! 

Nail Of The Week - Garden Theme

I figured I would do another nail tutorial which is quite easy and fun.

Garden Themed nails

OPI Nail polish - Passion NL H19

Apply 2 coats over it to get a very nice base colour

CANMAKE - Nail glitter 02 (Gold)

Apply it on the top of your nails - Using soft stroke the 1st time round,
focusing more on the tip on the 2nd coat

You can get this "wax" looking tube on any nail shop $1.90ea 

Use a nail glue / clear nail polish to place where you want the design to be. 

Apply top coat over it to finish the whole look.

I hope you guys enjoyed this!

An Evening with Rob Schneider

Yesterday while I was queuing to purchase Lion King - the musical ticket, I happen to notice that Rob Schneider is performing in Singapore !! I knew i have to get hold of those ticket as he is only performing for one day. Unfortunately, all of the good seats are sold out and I can only get hold of those with restricted view.

I love every minute of it. Seeing Rob Schneider in person is fortunate enough, let alone watching him perform a stand up comedy. It was AMAZING.

Nail Of The Week - Heart theme

Its Valentine's day tomorrow and thus I decided to do a "heart" themed nails !

What  you need :

1. 2 different shades of pink nail polish (one skin based colour like those used when you are doing french manicure, and the other a brighter shade of pink)

2. Some glitter

Steps:

1. Put on 2 layers of the nude-pink nail polish.

2. Use the brighter shade of pink nail polish to draw the out-line of heart shape of your choice, then fill in the colours ( It does not have to be in perfect shape)

3. Use glitter and outline the shape of the heart (this will further define the shape of the heart and cover any flaws of the heart drawn earlier) 

4. Put additional glitter to any place you like

Hope you'll love this and wishing everyone a Happy Valentines Day =)
