My long lost friend: ebay
Shop shop | 1 Comment
Hello hello. As always, life has been hectic. But I need to make a random post to keep myself sane. I’m still here, still around, and once things settle… I’ll blog more 
.
It’s been a while since I’ve gone on ebay sprees. But it has never failed me in the past. Especially when I longed for that one thing that was totally out of my budget, or that one thing that was totally sold out. So here to ebay! I’d rather browse through 50+ pages of items than rummage through sale racks at the mall.
The latest purchases?
Target #1: The lesportsac yoga tote that I see weekly, worn by my lovely sunday yoga instructor. Sold out in stores. Even the outlets. $$$ from other online retailers. 30-40% below retail on ebay! *rah rah rah*
Target #2: The Perfect Little Black Dress. Spotted recently on the fabulous Michelle Phan (in orchid). Way out of my price range… I even cried a little. On ebay… more than 50% off retail *scores* 
.
That is my happy ebay story. Maybe I’ll be hooked again… hmm what else do I want? *ehem* I mean “need”.

Asher Brook | Someone to Watch Over Me
I’m back from Mexico! My sister’s wedding was simple and unrehearsed, but yet still very perfect and beautiful. Watching those wedding make-up tutorials totally came to the rescue! I came prepared with my make-up palettes, brushes, lashes, hair curler… only to end up rushing my own make-up/hair in 10 mins before the wedding ceremony. I pretty much put my dress on 2 minutes before running out the door.
My sister had a wedding make-up demo the day before the wedding. When she came back to show us her make-up, it was not good 
. We all didn’t want to say anything mean, but the make-up was extremely heavy and very dark (even though the make-up artist said it was her “natural” look). So we tried to comfort her, saying “oh maybe it needs to be more dramatic for the photos… for it to show up right?” But $100+ for that make-up was no good. It wasn’t till that night that we all confessed to her that it didn’t look good (her brave fiance talked to her first).
So I volunteered! I ended up doing the make-up for my sister, her other bridesmaid and myself. I only brought one pair of falsies, so she got dibs of course! Boo, to my small eyes . It was my first time doing make-up for anyone else and I was definitely nervous. But it wouldn’t have been a good time to mess up haha.
I’ll upload more pictures soon. I just wanted to show the make-up . And no I can’t do wonders to people’s skin with make-up. This was my first time airbrushing a photo lol.. maybe a little over done, but look how flawless it looks!!!
To Curl or to Straighten
Hair, Make-up | 5 CommentsThis Saturday, I’ll be off to Mexico for my sister’s destination wedding . She is finally getting married! Though I’ve always considered her married already anyhow. The bridesmaid dress is a flowy, greek inspired dress. It was custom made! However, when we sent off the design, we decided on a “pool” blue. When it came back, I was pretty disappointed to pull out a periwinkle-ish purple dress 
. But, I guess it’s not my wedding… so no complaining 
.
I’m planning right now, what make-up/hair tools I should pack. I followed a “wedding make-up” video on youtube!! And it turned out pretty nice!! I really hope I can duplicate it again… though I might forget what colours I used. Eyes: Light pink all over, many different browns for outer v, pearly white for inner corner + gel liner + mascara + falsies. Lips: light pink lip stain + gloss. Cheeks: bronzer and blush
As for the hair. I’m totally stumped. I cut myself some blunt bangs last night *yey*. But I can’t decided between leaving my hair straight or curly. I’ll for sure have my hair down… because I want to cover my shoulders. So what do you guys think? (Just put your hand over half of the picture lol) Haha yes, I’m sitting here right now with half of my head in curls…

Stay Just a Little | Kina Grannis
I heard it in your voice when your love died
On a telephone connection stretching miles and miles of wire
You said it was over and then cried and cried
You were gone before I said goodbye…
…Would you stay just a little, my love?
Would you sway just a little my love?
Because the hole in the middle of my heart needs filling up
If you stay just a little, that’s enough…
It has been a while. Reading the photo project book my sister got for me, I’m reminded of my love for photography. I’m not so photogenic anymore, and I still can’t edit and take pictures as well as others can… but I have always believed that I had an eye for a great photo. I have ideas, I know angles, I see the details… and I wish I could portray that in my own photos, but it’s not so easy when taking self-portraits (requires too much trial and error). If only I could clone a version of myself lol. After watching countless eps of America’s Next Top Model, I realized something… maybe I’d be a good photo director. Now, who wants to be my photographer, and who wants to be my model?
