At the cash register

Can the type of payment help you safe money?

Trap:
Credit card-swipe and pay later.
#1-you overspend because you worry about it later. thinking you will just return it. (reality: it ends up being too much effort)
#2-the money accumulates and end of the month, what?!??! $7689!

Best to use:
Cash-pay now.
Why it's the best? The fact that you reach for the bills and count them one by one will make you realize mentally how much you're giving out for the purchase. Oops, $20 gone. another $20 gone. $10 gone. two $5 gone. How many bills are left?

Try one month of just using cash.
Try one month of just using credit card.

Compare and you be the judge.

zebra love!

ELF eyeshadow primer ($3)-placed all over bare lid before any eye steps
Urban decay baked palette-2nd gold from the left padded all over lid (blended a lil above the crease, but not too much so it keeps it neutral)
-1st brown from the left blended into the outer corner 
ELf pan eyeshadow (ivory)-inner 1/4 of the lid and inner corner
Jordana retractable eyeliner (black)-just from the mid-lid to the outer corner

Macy's zebra one piece dress-the high wasted skirt style. 
-added a red belt to it or else it's too plain with just black and white. 
Put this look with zebra flats.

going simple



as long as i have the eyeliner color that matches the outfit, i'll do it! eyeliner, top it off with the same toned shadow to smudge it upward or to enhance the color of the eyeliner. Mac paintpot (rubenesque)-barely shown because it's blended out all over the lid
Jordana retractable eyeliner-
elf palette (blue eyeshadow)-

how-to (simple): 
1. place paintpot all over the lid, blending it with the finger upward, fading. tip: don't put too much because although it's crease preventing, too much will speed up the creasing process!
2. Use jordana eyeliner closest to the eyelashes, creating a thin line. wing it out if you like
3. to pigmentize and smooth out the eyeliner, use a similar color of eyeshadow and press on top of the eyeliner. (blend upward to create a smokey effect if you desired)
You can't go wrong with a simple outfit: regular t and dark skinny jeans.

beach dress for school?





temptation: eyeliner color and clothe color matching 
another day of high 80s. if it stays this hot, i'm running out of things to wear! 
no flash-regular room light washes color out like crazy! (but my skin looks nice lol) sacrifice 
now w/out the light but w/ camera flash, this is the result :(this is why i don't make tutorials too often.
what is dramatic shows up as neutral. what is neutral shows up as no makeup. 
what lighting is the best? sunlight?
 lamp? eh hmmm -.-

oh that side ways glance. oooo new lip love: Stila lip stick in gingerbread
I never wear anything on my lip bcs lip products aren't moisturizing and lip balm is just ehhhh. but hey, stila lip stick (looks like a nyx jumbo eye pencil) moisturizing and like a lipstick with pigmentation and color
that's the outfit for 5/26/10! very beachy eh? told ya! 
with flash? w/out flash? can't decide so there you go. both for the hell of it. 

another temptation: photo taking my outfits. i gotta stop this! this will not go on forever or else imma run out of things to wear! (honestly lol)

What's up: 5/26/10: picnic at a reservoir for class. chillin' on the grass. cards: president and BS. intense piano playing for the ABRSM grade 8 exam-few days after graduation- (yikes!) how much does that suck? 2 days after graduation-baam! piano exam. ewwwhhhh=eww ehhhh

a sunny day=dress

Wore this look with dangling earrings. Keeping it simple and casual and neutral and ...and... yea

Purple is the color for today. purple dress with purple eyeliner. brown eyeshadow is my to-go eyeshadow and below is it.....







The singing body heat of the sun pressed on everyone's bare skin. Unbearable, yet grateful for a 86 degrees day like today. 
A one piece dress. The back is the same string like shown the front but crossed in the back. Topped it off with a white braided belt. 

Time to get the dresses out! I'm not a big summer's clothes type of person since in the past, my summers have been spent in China and I don't usually bring my clothes back, I just try to buy stuff there to wear so less luggage to bring there and back. 

In the unbearable extreme weathers.....
Would you rather choose extremely dying hot or extremely icy freezing cold?

I prefer hot

epilator: emjoi emagine demo and review!

This is for all of you interested! yes yes keeping it real with how it works and showing you guys so you get a feel for the experience. Don't be fooled though! because the armpit hurts the least! and it's very very true! (but that might also be bcs i have a low pain tolerance lol) 

Enjoy! I'm glad that after my hair removal blog post, I kept more ppl informed and alert about the alternatives to just shaving and waxing. 

There are always choices in life, you just have to learn and explore them !
