Day 4 > 30 day post challenge (beauty & end of the year edition)

BEAUTY
Day 04 — Your favorite foundation

This has got to be the best foundation I have ever used. For me it's like the holy grail of all foundations! It's unbelievable and kinda gives you like an airbrush finished. It's from Valmont and it's called L'Elixir Des Glaciers Teint Precieux Poly Active Cellular Foundation. Shade I am using is the darkest one which is Amber Beige in Florence. This is my second bottle, it can last upto 6 months or more if you use it everyday. Read the benefits of this foundation here. If you're from UAE, you can get online.

 

END OF THE YEAR
Day 04 — Your favorite book

I only read one book last year, so this is a no brainer. It's inspiring and I wish to apply everything I read in this, let's see if I can this year :)

Day 03 — Your favorite brush

It's got to be this kabuki brush from Red Earth, I love the feel of soft fluffy brush all over my face when I use it with my loose powder.

Day 02 — Your favorite movie

Okay, this one's hard. Seen a lot of movies that I liked last year. Below are some of the movies that left me feeling satisfied after watching it in the big screen.

Fast Five
Hangover Part 2
Thor
Limitless
Kung Fu Panda 2
Brides Maids
Hall Pass
Arthur
The Adjustment Bureau
Moneyball
The Immortals

But my fave has to be Breaking Dawn. I know, I know! it's a stupid movie but I'm in love with Edward Cullen, what you gonna do :D - In fact, I'm not looking forward to watching part two, cos I don't want the story to end :(

 

HNY > Day 1 > 30 day post challenge (beauty & end of the year edition)

HELLO 2012!


Either you partied out till wee hours in the morning or just had a quiet nice dinner at home with the familia (like me), I hope everyone had a great time welcoming the new year.

Another year...another chapter...it's a new beginning...just like a new diary...the pages are empty...lets all start fresh with nice, positive, wonderful and happy thoughts...

My first post of this year...I thought I would give that "30 day post challenges" a go and what's better way than to start "day 1" on the first day of the year :D

look at me now

couldn't sleep on the eve of new year's eve...it's one of those many nights that i've been experiencing a lot recently...had to go to work today...it was already 7am so i decided to get up and make myself a cup of coffee, do my usual morning stuffs...but i did something else...tried to rap while ironing slash combing my hair :D

i got so sick of this song after listening to it gazillion times when i was trying to memorise it...


had this youtube account since 2006 and i used to upload some vids of me singing but i took them down cos i was like..."what the eff was i doing" ha ha...and then i did it again!

perfect mousse

needed to put my hair back to life...i didn't want another cut...i swore i would grow my hair longer...and if i don't wanna cut, my only other option is COLOUR! (*sigh* if only i can afford hair extensions :D)

i used to believe that L'oreal was the best...next is Wella, so i was skeptical to try any other brand until someone (who often colour her hair) mentioned this brand was good so i decided the next time i'm getting an at home hair colour kit i would get Schwarzkopf (i can't even pronounce it :D) - i found one without amonia and its a moussey type thing that you pump out of the bottle, which turned out to be purdy good...much easier to apply than the creamy liquid ones...

DIY || ball of lilies

2nd DIY

and this was accidental...cos i never planned on doing this...i just found these amazing stuffs while i was walking around in Karama where i went the other night to buy a razor comb...the materials are so cheap and so easy to make :D

* foam ball *

* bunches of fake lilies *

 * cute heart pins *

i didn't need any other tools...just my hands...the flowers detach from the stems easily...so i just put the pin in the middle of the flowers and pin them on the foam ball and voila! my little monsters can do this...but i wanted to enjoy it all by myself :D

a little disappointment is that i didn't get to cover the whole ball cos i ran out of flowers...if they weren't so damn hard to get from all the stacks of flowers at the store i could've gotten more...but in any case i love the outcome...

i'm thinking of putting this in the bathroom where i currently have these sunflowers...hmmm
