Simple life-Part I

Monday, September 21, 2009

Do trust me, I did try very hard to do some cleaning and unpacking for this post. Unfortunately, jet lag is killing me.

So I decided to not show you my new condo all at once. Instead, I'll do it part by part which means less work at a time :p

It's just a very simple layout basically, 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Yet, it's not quite a loft nor a traditional condo to me. Guess this is the reason why we move in, it's just something that's in between these two categories.

We live here! (picture from internet)

Oh, it comes with an awesome balcony too. People call this area as patio here in U.S. but I think balcony is more appropriate.

This is where Miyaki and I usually have fun under the sun :)

Those photos were actually taken right before I went our for grocery.

A close-up of my look-of-the-day, natural make-up.

Lightweight make-up always give me a fresher, younger and healthier look. I do it most of the time when I go to school, grab for lunch, walk Miyaki, quick-shop at Walgreen and the list goes on.

Essential tools for natural make-up:
1) Powder or mouse foundation
2) Eyebrow pencil
3) Eyeshadow in neutral/earth color
4) Eyeliner (gel or pencil)
5) Eyelash curler and mascara
6) Bronzer in neutral-earth color
7) Lip balm or gloss

It's uncomplicated at all~~ And I bet most of you girls already have those tools with you :) Just let me know if you need more guidance on this.

Ok, the next thing I wanna talk about is my sweetest date ever on last Friday, we pushed it to Saturday actually. My bad, I overslept :p

So, I got up early on Saturday and dressed up and prepared myself for the mystery gift. I thought I would pick up my jewelry in the Tiffany&Co store, but Chean gave it to me, surprisingly.

(We did went to the store again for another surprise! Tell you some other time.)

Love the signature blue shade of Tiffany&Co's packaging.

I opened the blue box gracefully,
and this is what I've got!!!

Thank you, Chean!
A big kiss and many many hugs from me!!!

That was really a big day, I wanted to look more sophisticated, more feminine, more mature and most important, more like an effortless beauty (though I know, I still have a long way) to go with my newly owned charm bracelet.

My look-of-the-day, sophisticated.

How beautiful and classic~~ I mean, the bracelet.

Let's stray your focus from Tiff&Co bracelet for a while (you can always scroll up after this), anybody wanna know more about the sophisticated make-up?

Ok, you may put down your hands.

The simplest rule to glam up your look in seconds is to focus on your eyes. This is the golden rule.

Now let's see the photos again.

I'm not wearing any FreshKon Alluring Contact, it's plainly make up that I've put on

Amazingly done and proud. Love it? Now check out what are the tools you need.

Essential tools for sophisticated make-up:
1) Liquid foundation
2) concealer
3) Loose powder
4) Eyebrow pencil
5) Eyeshadow in neutral color (as base)
6) Three-toned eyeshadow (black brown tone)
7) Eyeliner (gel or pencil)
8) Falsie (Important!!!)
9) Eyelash curler and mascara
10) Light pink blusher
11) Bronzer in neutral/earth color
12) Lip balm or gloss

Of course, a more sophisticated look needs more works. But I assure you, you'll pleasantly in love with it as soon as you try it on (successfully). Especially for camwhoring.

Happy 8 Years Anniversary for you and Chean !!!!
Errr, that means you and chean started in secondary school lor? (sorry for asking too much)XD
so when are you going to tie the knot?@@

I never make up but i'll try once i kick off my college life =)

Unknown said...

我发觉到,美国人的屋子露台,大多数都空置着的。不像欧洲的,都很喜欢种满五颜六色的花朵。

妳的chean,真的是不可多得的好。
当然,妳也很疼惜他。
你们的全家福很温馨。

tiffany的charm necklace和bracelet是我多年前很想买的首饰。后来的一天,当我和他真的去到了柜台,就快买下的那一刻,不知道为什么,突然,打消了念头。。。那之后,我每次经过都会到里面看看,可是,就是没有要再买的念头。看吧。。。那一天,那种冲动又再来时。。。
