white on white

white - the colour of everything

“Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.” 

― Coco Chanel

In this extremely hot summer that has creeped up to 40+ deg Celsius on most days, white separates and dresses have become items that I reach out for the most, and of course, tons of sunscreen. How do you keep cool on hot days?

the rich color of white

create a beautiful life today.

EOS Ice Green Circle Lenses

the green apple of my eye

"I am not young but I feel young. The day I feel old, I will go to bed and stay there. 

J'aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing."

-Coco Chanel

Have always loved changing up the color of my eyes since the late teenage days. Since they say the eyes are the window to the soul, I guess I must like my soul to be colorful - and in particular, green and blue.

However, to try to choose the correct color that I imagine to be, is often a challenge. Especially when the myriad of colors and designs available on honeycolor.com are so plentiful. So, i thought it'll be great to share how eos ice green looks like on my soul windows, and reduce your research time if you are looking to get some green eyes!

Origin: South Korea/ Diameter: 14.8mm/ Base Curve: 8.8mm/ Water Content: 38%/ 

Life Span: Yearly Package

My thoughts on these lenses:
These lenses are wearable and comfortable, and is the most natural looking pair of green contact lenses I've donned so far. I especially love the dark emerald hue, as compared to others that sometimes turn out more olive green/yellow than a true green. Will definitely repurchase these if I'm looking for a natural green again.

forever young and free.

DIOR CHERIE BOW 002 - pretty pink please

paradise in pink

Was gifted this pretty Dior Cherie Bow set since last Christmas, but just never had the time to explore and break into it! And also partly because it was so pretty, I didn't have the heart to impose any imperfections to its pristine glory.

 Cute little design that snaps into a purse like compact.

From left to right, it comes complete with a beautiful iridescent shimmery white eye shadow, pink eye shadow, rose pink eye shadow, gel liner and a natural peach lip gloss. It also comes complete with a little eyeliner/shadow brush, and a lip brush that are not shown in this photo.

Matching pinkie items to create a look!

from left to right: Nyx pencil sharperner, Etude House Face designing Brightener, Marjolica Lash King Mascara , Versace Bright Crystal Eau De Parfum, Random lash curler, Love Alpha Lash fibres and transplanting gel.

Well, frankly I'm not quite the beauty expert. And most of the time I think less is more, since it also saves more time. This is also the first time I've ever used a gel eyeliner! Interesting and it really is quite easy to apply with an eyeliner brush.

So I simply pat the light pink shade sparingly over my lids - add some rose pink shade to the middle of the lids - line the inner corner and bottom eye line with the shimmery white shadow - use a brown shade from the urban decay naked palette to line the outer parts of the eye - draw a little line with the gel eyeliner - add some mascara - even out the brows with a pencil - and dab on some pink lipstick!

Wow, who knew beauty stuff can be so much fun! no wonder the existence of so many beauty youtubers! Have some fun painting on your eyes today before you head out that door!

NO HEAT CURLS and a Red Lip

 the magic of buns 

"Our appearance is merely an extension of our personality.”

Curling hair is really that easy. Simply tie slightly damp hair with leave in conditioner into a bun like this:

And awake to luscious curls like this:

 Keep things simple, and add a satin-finish red lip for an extra happy day. 

Every woman should try a red lip to add some sparkle to their day! 

the magic of simple things.
