TOPSHOP Spring Lookbook 2011

TOPSHOP Spring 2011 Collections are now in stores and they have new arrivals almost everyday! One of the trends in stores is Swedish Summer.

Nars

I dreamt of this last night !!! So Nars Super Orgasm, what are you tryna say? This is super tempting.

NARS amps up their legendary NARS Orgasm to bring you Super Orgasm - the universally flattering shimmering peachy pink blush with an extra dose of golden sparkle. The super sexy pink flush gives the effect of an ultimate super,uh hum, afterglow.

Nars Super Orgasm is a sheer-pressed powder blush with golden speckles.Take note : Golden speckles. That explain why it's different from the normal Nars Orgasm.

What & how to use : The blush contains a universally flattering peachy-pink undertone and can be worn alone or layered together for more depth.

Reviewers are all giving 4.5 out of 5.There are few here and there that gave 2 out of 5 due to the Golden Sparkle. It seems that these Sparkles can be all over the face, hair, dress or even their partner's face. I'm still comtemplating on buying Orgasm or Super Orgasm.

Contour & Highlight

You've seen the celebrities and wonder why they look so good. It's all about using a contour and highlight technique. I wonder why didn't mommy taught me this step when i was young. It helps my face to look brighter and slimmer!

After watching several youtube videos and reading about it online, i should try it too but not now. I'm not in the mood to do so especially with a broken ankle. What's more, i hardly put on my eyeliner on my face when i'm out with love or family. Maybe when i'm able to stand up without any support or cast, definitely i'm excited to try! One out of the many reasons why my ankle should recover faster! Oh, did i mention that love doesn't like me applying makeup? He love my face to be bare with only eyeliner. He hates lipstick and lipgloss. That's not fair :(

Contouring you face with cosmetics will give the illusion of a perfect, symmetrical face. There are many ways to contour your face; you can use foundations or powders and bronzers. Foundations will give the best and natural effect. However, using powders and bronzers will be easier. If you have an oval face, you really do not need to contour your face unless you want to add depth.

One simple look and exmple

Using Foundation
Tools you will need: 3 shades of foundation (your true shade, one shade lighter and one shade darker, sponges and foundation brush, powder.

Using Powders
Tools you will need: Your true shade foundation and powder, one shade lighter powder, and a bronzer. Make sure your bronzer has no shimmer to it. If you do not have a bronzer, you can use a powder two shades darker.

Application Steps
Contour and Highlight

1. Wash your face and apply your skin care system. You want to have smooth, soft skin.

2. After your skin care is dry, apply your makeup primer and let it dry for a few seconds.

3. Apply your cream concealer that is 2 shades lighter than your foundation to the bridge of your nose (very thin line) to the middle of your forehead, and the middle of your chin.

4. Apply your cream concealer that is 1 shade lighter than your foundation to your under eye area.

5. Apply your dark contour (powder or cream) to your outside temples, under your cheekbones, under your chin and jaw and both sides of your nose as close to the light concealer line as you can get.

6. Apply your Foundation. Pat it on with your fingers or foundation brush, then blend. Take a sponge and blot off any extra and blend if needed.

7. Apply a yellow based loose face powder to set your concealer and foundation. If you have dry or aging skin, just set your concealer and leave other areas of your face alone.

To take note : Not everyone needs to contour- if you feel that your cheekbones are prominent or that your face is thin, it is best not to contour as you may appear too “chiseled”. It takes practice getting the contour technique down as each face is different, so don’t give up!

If you're to ask me what would i use for Contour & Highlight,i would strongly recommend NYX Highlight & Contour Set.

After all,i'm a Nyx fan.

Aircast

Some might have known.I'm on Aircast right now for another 1 month.It's a type of walking cast.The great thing is i'm able to climb up the stairs on my own.When are the government planning to build lift for every level of the hdb block i'm leaving at?My dad gonna vote later on.If they get about 75% positive votes,they will proceed with the plan or else they will just abort it.I pity wheelchair users.I can feel the pain and tiredness of going up and down the stairs.

Yesterday evening,i followed love and his family for Thaipusam.We brought along few chairs,drinks and snacks.I would say this year Thaipusam was really a boring one.The drum beats are all gone!I dont feel the firework of the beats anymore.

I need more of them.

Lomography

I'm thinking if i should get myself a Sprocket Rocket or Spinner!You can rewind the film for Sprocket Rocket and take a shot again and you'll get 2 different images in one photo.It can capture wide images!As for Spinner,what do ya think?It spins and capture everything that's 360 degree!That's heaven yeah!

Images for Sprocket Rocket

And images for Spinner

Awesome!

The best thing is that both doesn't require any batteries and any normal 35mm film works perfectly fine!Maybe i shall stick to spinner?But spinner is a lil expensive compared to Sprocket Rocket.It's weird to mention Sprocket with the Rocket at the back again.

The tragedy 191110

It's so tempting for me to blog each day but i wasn't in the mood to do so.I wish i can walk,run and snap more photos!Ok,lets talk about the accident i had on 19 Nov 2010.

What can i say?I'm lucky that love and i are still alive.It happened along Ayer Rajah Expressway,at about 12.35pm.Love and i were on our way to this private medical centre for my medical appointment which M1 has set for me.I was told to go for a check-up before i can start working there.(I'm still with Comfort Delgro)

As usual,when i'm on a bike with love,i will look left or right instead of looking front.I love to look at buildings,houses and the sceneries.He was going at the speed of 80km/h and there were lotsa vehicles.Well,everything was going smoothly until the next thing i know i was rolling 3 times forward on the road.I can only remember this.I dont know how i fly out but according to love,the distance between me and the accident spot is a little far.Ok,not that far but from the entrance of my house to the another end corner of my house.That's long ok!

When i was rolling,my heart was saying this,"oh-oh,i think this is an accident!". I was too scared to wake up,hoping that no vehicle will run over me.I was lying in between of lane 1 and 2,more to lane 1.

Then,love come over and asked if im ok.That's when i opened my eyes saying that i'm alright.He said we are involved in an accident.Love honey,i know that but i've got no idea why i said "really uh?" as a response back to him.At this point,i woke myself up just to put my top properly as it was exposing my back body with a huge bruise covered with blood!Trust me,i still haven't feel the pain at this point of time.Love hold my hand asking me to stand as i was blocking the road.None of the vehicle was moving ya!When i stand,i realise it was too hard for me to take any step.That's when i droped.I saw my left leg being too swollen.There were few who helped us.One of the malay man,around early 30 told love to carry me.I was moves to the shoulder of the road.I remember sitting with my legs spreading to the front.That is when i saw all the bruises i had at my both legs.Thank god i wasn't wearing legging!I though of wearing it but decided to put on a black jeans instead.

My left nail at the toe was sticking out!I can start to feel a little pain this time.I try to remove the sandle slowly without hitting my toe nail and snap!It hit ~ouch ouch ouch!F.pain ok!I manage to take out the sandle.When i move on to the right leg to do the same,i realise my sandle wasn't there.Haha!But yucks,i felt dizzy after seeing the abrasion i had on my right bottom leg,including my feet!I started to feel thirsty and i ask love for water knowing that he didn't have any!He asked one of the passer by and he was so kind to offer me an unopen bottle mineral water.I drank half of he bottle and i just lay flat there,closing my eyes.I kept on saying softly that i wanna go home and sleep!Haha,how unlucky can i be!That's when i also reliase that love was also badly hurt.He got abrasion all over his hands,shoulder,leg and feet!I can see his white meat!I asked him where's the bike and what are we waiting for.He told me not to worry for the bike and an ambulance will pick us up.

When i got into the ambulance,the paramedic told me that i got a broken ankle and i thought i was going to die!My blood pressure was super low at that point!I was being brought to Alexandra Hospital and that's when i was seperated from love.I just lay down at the bed waiting for someone to approach me!Two nurse and a female doctor approached and said i need to be change!They cut my jeans :(

They injected me with pain killer.I was asking for a drink again and they said they are not able to give because they think i might need a mini surgery!Damn,at this point i wish that im at home sleeping soundly.I'm scared of blood,pain and sharp objects!The nurse went off and i start to look around hoping that i'm able to see love.He's no where in sight and i start to break down ; _ ;

They took me to the x-ray room and do the relavant things they were suppose to do.Alexandra hospital sure do have lotsa intern students and foreign nurses!Results out and tadah,i've got a broken ankle and they told me to get ready for the surgery tonight.I kept mum,not able to say anything eventhough my heart keep on saying "open your f.mouth and say you dont need a surgery"!

I searched for my phone in my bag and i saw many msges and calls!My mother was crying at the phone when i called her!The nurses there sure do their job faster than i thought.I had to make my mommy understand that i'm okey and nothing happened.

They told me i had to be admitted there but hell no.I prefer Nuh over Ae.I asked for a transfer immediately and it seems there was a minor problem about transferring.At the ambulance itself,i stated that i wanna go to Nuh instead of Ae however due to traffic jams,they brought love and me over to Ae. The doc put a full cast on my left ankle before transfering me out.When my skin was in contact with the cement,i started to feel uneasy!The thing was damn hot and i feel like my skin was burning!We got an ambulance and to cut short,i was already at the Nuh observing room.Love and his family drove to Nuh too.Oh,love was discharged from Ae as he only suffered from abrasion. ( I was told that if a bike is to involved in an accident,the pillion will suffer more injuries or even fatal death compared to the rider and yeah,i was prepared for that )Love did another check-up at Nuh,since it's free for him as he was serving the nation anyway.A while later,i got a bed at ward 52,bed no.19!

Now this is strange!Was up with 19? 19 happened to be the date that the accident took place,the date when love confessed his love 2 years ++ ago and i became we :) ! Now,my bed number is 19 too.

I told my parents to go home as i need some good night sleep as they will take x-ray in the later early morning.When i was about to sleep and before my parents left,love and his family came over.The number of people came,it's like i am throwing a party.Love family was there,including his aunty and granny.His younger brother brought 3-4 friends along.Love and his elder brother friends were there too!A while later,a family friend of them came over too!Yes,lets celebrate i guess!

The best part was my dad happen to know love's dad!What a coincident!They were from jurong west and used to "lepak" at the coffee shop together.Ok great,i got no tension and worries introducing those adults to one another now!

At around 1am++,everyone went back home.Love gave me a good night kiss,assuring nothing will happen to me before he left.I was just waiting for the x-ray and it only happened at 5.00am.I also did notice that my right toe nail is turing into a darker color.Will it drop down too like my left toe nail?At around 8am,3 professionals enter in and told me that i dont need a surgery!Fireworks all over my stomach man!BOOM BOOM BOOM EVEN BRIGHTER THAN THE MOON MOON MOON :) However they need to do a mini surgery for my toe nail that was sticking out.It need to be removed and the nurse warn me that it will be painful!!!Priya was there with me. (She work there as a nurse and luckily her shift ended in the morning itself)

I thought they will do it in the afternoon so that i've got time to prepare by consoling myself that everything will be alright however the procedure took place just after the doctors left.The nurse gave me few injections at my right arm,right thigh and 2 at my left toe!The toe injections was damn pain.I was screaming,yelling and crying in pain.Yes,i was crying like a baby!Very pain ok!After the injections,my toe started to feel numb and that's when they removed the nail.Ok,that part is not pain at all.Moving to my right leg,they clean all the wounds.(Very pain too as they dapped this cotton with pink liquids that will kill the bacteria at my wounds.) I had a mini therapy teaching me how to walk with my clutches,going up and down the stairs.Oh forgot to metion that on my left leg,they place a full heavy weight leg cast.Now i've got 3 legs.Right leg, and 2 clutches!

Cut short again,day 3 at around 12pm,i was discharged!

Honestly,i learnt a lot from the accident and it was an eye opener!I started not to take my love ones for granted,especially my family members!I was taken care like a princess!

Doc says i will probably be on full leg cast for 8-12 weeks and fully 6 months for me to run like normal.Ok,my school how?My job?Will be fire me?My contract will ends on Dec.What if they didn't renew my contract with comfort delgro cause of my broken ankle?Sigh,all these thoughts were running through my head. (Few days later,they call in to say that my contract was renew!No need to worry!) I was given 42 days of hospital leave and the next appointment will be on the 15 dec.

So when 15 dec came,i was taken to do a x-ray with hopes that they will remove my cast and i can walk again on the spot.However it was shattered when i was told that i will be on cast,however light weight this time.When they cut open the cast,omg,my ankle was badly swollen! My ankle looked fat and blue-black!Doc says i still have to elevate my leg by a pillow higher when sleeping.

Next appointment will be on the 19 of January! Again,whatsssup with 19?My hospital leave was extended till January 24.Now that's another 1 week time!

Well,the question is will i go up on bike again?

Yes!!!Well,no one can escape death!One day,everyone will go back to god.Sooner or later.I don't wanna die regretting not doing things that i love.But i gotta say,Allah gave me the chance again for a second life.Love told me that after i fly off from the seat and landed at the between of lane 1 and 2 of the road,a lorry would have run over me had the driver didn't stop on time.Just wondering what will happen had i wore legging instead of black jeans.

Eeery pictures time!!!

A proper update soon!Sitting at home made me watch videos about make-up!Now i love Make-ups!

Cause baby you're a firework

Hello 2011!

Ps : Will be back soon.Having a broken ankle is tough.
