Happy Birthday To Me

Phewwww...
It's finally here, after working on this virtual present to myself for about 4 hours!

Right now, with a mix feeling of anxiety, excited and exhausted, I'm proud to present you the grand opening of Beverly's Voice!

Yup, you are going to H.E.A.R. me speak, just one click away! Warn you first, it's not in English, I'm serious.

I do speak Cantonese. Don't believe me? Try and see.

Enjoy (◕^^◕)

Happy Birthday to me :D

More Than Words

Wooo Hooo~~
Wooooo Hooooo~~

There was so much going on last week! I have been way too busy celebrating my oh-gosh-I'm-finally-26th birthday to bother blogging.

But I can't blog about my birthday celebration yet ^︵^

It was more than a typical birthday celebration; it was more than triple happiness (Birthday, CNY & Valentine's). It was a total bliss, something far beyond my imagination and more than words.

Ok, long story short. In order to covert it into a written form, I need more time :p

Maybe you don't even care but I wanna make it special. This is my online biography anyway 。◕‿◕。

Well, I don't mean that I don't care about you guys, k. I know the reasons behind every single click on my blog.

That's why I'm here to also feed you some of my juicy shopping goodies lately.

mtw_F21_bag
Yeah! Found this fab flap bag at F21 last week! ❤❤ Got it in pink at first, but changed my thought and exchanged for a black one.

Don't you think too much "pink" will spoil the look, sometimes? Remember my motto: less is more ❤❤

mtw_F21_hairclips
More hair clips from F21. It's just too cheap, I need to buy it.

I still have a bunch of newly bought items that I haven't bother to take picture with. I'm just too busy...

Hate the free RockBand iPhone app! Although there's only one song available for this free app, it's enough to steal all my precious time!

mtw_rb1
Tap on drum! I only play drum.

mtw_rb2
Select hard... I'm rocking my way to pro, k. See the score?

mtw_rb3
Tough or not?

It has become part of my quotidian thumbs exercise! It's free after all, why not?

Watch out, this app is extremely addictive!!!

Gong Xi Valentine's

Here come my favorite month of the year, February! There are so much to celebrate in this month.

Needless to say, 2010 lunar calender doubles up the happiness for our beautiful tradition, Chinese New Year (CNY), with romantic Valentine's Day on 14th of February.

Imagine, celebrating Valentine's Days with your grandparents rather than your significant half, it's speechlessly indescribable.

Congrats to those who are still single though, you don't need to scratch (or knock or drill) your head for a beautifully flawed excuses on V day. Just for this year though, sorry.

Good news for all the boyfriends and hubbies too, you can finally sit back, relax and save money (hopefully) on this Valentine's. What? Your girlfriend or wife is not working, it's CNY, hello... No one is going to cheer, admire or envy her thousand roses, just save it for next year.

I know, I know, I know how exciting it feels! I can't wait for it too! In fact, I did a special Gong Xi Valentine's edition for all of you!!!

Gongxi_me1_final
Gong Xi Fatt Cai!!! Can chocolate replace Ang Pao?

Gongxi_me2_final
Happy Valentine's Day too~~

Gongxi_me5_final
Heart my new makeup?

Gongxi_me6_final

Gongxi_me4_final

Gongxi_me8_final
It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Gongxi_me3_final
because love is in the air.

Gongxi_me7_final
Can you feel that yet? ❤❤

Among all these crazinesses, my craziest birthday falls on the 9th of this month too (drum roll, please)~~

Woo Hooo~~

This means triple happiness and triple gifts, I supposed :p

Chean hasn't show me any sign yet. Perhaps it'll be a pretty ordinary one this year since both of us are super busy. But I'm sure I'm going to have loads of fun!

I usually celebrate my birthday for a week.

Why? It's the D.O.B of a gorgeous angle! Isn't she glamor and holy enough to deserve a week celebration? In fact, I already started the celebration last Sat. Hehe... Don't worry, I'll blog about it for sure.

It's truly my ultimate wish to spread happiness to everyone, despite their ages, ethnics and genders. I truly believe happiness is "contagious" :p

Remember to love and be loved!



Gong Xi Gong Xi,
Bev ❤❤

Quickie

Just a quickie to prove that I'm still alive :p

Sorry girls... I've been busy with studies and assignments recently (the ultimate excuse that no one can complain :p).

Besides studying, I'm working hard to mix and match my old and new clothes, especially those stuffs I've bought long long time ago yet never wore. Gonna sort out some new creative ways to put them in use, again!

new
For example, the purple legging that I bought on last January.

I don't even realize I got this legging sleeping in my drawer for about a year until I clean up the room @.@ Super excited for the fact that I'm still able to wear it although it's quite last season :p

Anyway, the weekend is finally here and I know many of you might be busy shopping for CNY! How exciting!!!

Happy Shopping and have fun ^^

Dream a little dream of smoky

Your long-awaited request is finally granted. Everyone wants a piece of my Let It Smoke smoky eye makeup.

But you know what, you definitely won't see me wearing that in real life, unless on special occasions such as Halloween. I mean seriously, who will need that kind of heavy eye do everyday?

I did the Let It Smoke makeup simply for the sake of photo shooting. Ok, I admit, also to wow you guys about my makeup skill but personally, I prefer a sweet, and a little, just a little sexy look.

Dreamy_me1
Just like this ❤❤

What you are about to see is a "versatile" yet dreamy makeup that you can wear everyday to college, to work, to date, to shop or simply to make yourself feel good. It's easier, simpler and less smoky compare to Let It Smoke but it's sophisticated enough to catch others attention ;)

Important notes!!!

1) Always remember to start off with clean face, follow by toner, moisturizer, sunscreen or anything necessary.

2) When working on makeup that emphasize the eyes, opt for a good foundation and concealer. That will help give you a flawless touch, eventually it brings more attention to your eyes.

For this tutorial, I start off with Make Up Forever HD liquid foundation, Amazing Concealer and Laura Mercier Loose Powder.

dreamy_primer
Firstly, apply the eyeshadow primer to make the color last longer and to avoid it from smudging. I'm using Urban Decay Shadow Primer.

Dreamy_brow
Then, pick a light brown color to slightly define your brows. A little goes a long way. Do not overly define your brows because we want a dreamy look. I'm using Coastal Scent 88 Warm Palette.

Dreamy_browbone_base
Choose a champagne color to highlight the brow bones and lids. I'm using my all time favorite Mac eyeshadow, Jest.

** Pardon my weird expressions. It's really hard to take a real good picture while you were busy painting your eyes @.@ Just bare with me.

Dreamy_outercorner
Apply dark brown color on the outer corner. Do not attempt to create a "V" shape or bring it upward, simply follow the shape of your eyes.

Now, blend these two colors by bringing the champagne to the dark brown. It's easier to control the tone in that way.

Dreamy_shadowliner
By using the eyeliner brush, apply black color eyeshadow as eyeliner. For this tutorial, I try to use minimal amount of black. You can always put more if you prefer a smokier one.

Dreamy_eyeliner
Draw a thin eyeliner closer to your lash lines. Here I'm using Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner.

Dreamy_tearducts
Use a Q-tip (Yes, I got a pink one) and dab it with the Champagne color that we just used. Apply it on the tear ducts.

Dreamy_curler
Now, it's time to curl your lashes! I'm using Maybelline lash curler which I'll definitely NOT recommend. I'll grab a new one from Shu Eumura when I have time to shop.

** Yup, I put the kitty cellphone charm on my lash curler. Love the sound of the tiny bell every time I touch it ❤❤

Dreamy_falsie
Then, pick your falsies! I use the half-cut falsies, why? Always remind yourself about the magical word, D.R.E.A.M.Y~~

Dreamy_mascra
Apply mascara on the upper and lower lashes. I'm using Loreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara here.

Dreamy_blush
Create the never-go-out-of-style cheeks look by lightly brushing through your apple cheeks. Clinique blush, 108 cupid.

Last but definitely not least, apply lip balm or lip gloss and you are all set!

It's now your turn to wow everyone!

Happy Makeup-ing ❤❤
