Hair color change

I dyed my hair at the end of October with Palty Bitter Cappucino and it faded quickly away to the blonde/brown. I really like this color except for the fact that there are still black roots at the back of my head lol ><



Online shopping Arrives~!!!! Or rather..arrived....>_>

Another late post where I post about things that happen a week AFTER it occurs harhar...

I went online shopping a few weeks ago and it seemed liked FOREVER for the items to arrive to my house, but really it was just like 4-5 weeks LOL

The first shopping parcel came through was from pinkyparadise!!!
My order only contained the Candy Doll concealer in 01 and cheek color in Strawberry Pink.


The concealer was securely wrapped in this pink foam thing but the blush was just as it is O_o

I also got a Velcro fringe thingy as a freebie from Pinkyparadise. I've wondered how they work and how they can really hold your hair back up but amazingly it does!!! xD

I gotta say this Candy Doll blush is amazing!!! I read a lot of reviews before purchasing it and thought the reviewers were exaggerating when they said the color was intense! Just one swipe and so pigmented! I used a medium-sized powder brush to brush it on and it works well for me =)


The second parcel was from pretty&cute
This was the one that was I was most keen on and again took a while to arrive. I ordered on 31st of October and arrived 2nd of December.
It arrived in a small box and delivered straight to my door by a courier but he left it on the wrong side of the house >< Thankfully I was home to pick it up. When I first opened it I couldn't seen anything except that white stuff. The items were at the bottom.


So I ordered the Dr. Jart's Blue Label Dew Drop BB Cream and Lioele Waterdop Sleeping Pack. Based on a video review by S2Janie in one of her videos, she mentioned that the Lioele sleeping pack is good for help tightening the skin and pores (or something like that) and to help the skin more youthful ~~

One thing that took me by surprise was that both bottles were sealed. I can't remember the last time I purchased something that had a seal on it like this >< So that made me feel secure knowing I got what I paid for!


I read reviews (again!) that the Dr. Jart's BB cream is good for combo-oily skin but then that what's I also read about the BB cream I'm currently using lol -the Skin79 pink one. I still find that I get oily on my t-zone even with powder on top. I did like that the Skin79 made my complexion whiter but it also had a downside.I wore it to work and had a customer say I look a bit sickly =____= which is why I went and bought blush! I want to use my Skin79 BB cream first before I start using the new one.

And finally from eBay! Telephone wire hair ties! Ever since my friend told me these type of hair ties won't leave kinks in your hair I've been really interested in them! Just looking at the design I thought it would but I suppose because it's made out of plastic that it doesn't...? It's been great tying my hair up and then just pulling it out without having to worry about that ugly kink. I bought a pack of 10 for $1.30 from a HK seller. Again took over a month ><


I'm really finally glad to have received ALL my items but I don't think I'll be ordering from pinkyparadise or pretty&cute anytime soon! I did, however, just make a purchase two nights ago on ebay for a Christmas present for someone lol ~~ fingers crossed it comes before christmas >< even a few days after christmas I wouldn't mind!

[REVIEW] 59 Seconds Floral Dress

Ok so waaaaay back in September I did a Yesstyle order and they came the following week but I never actually reviewed the items lol
I'm still way too lazy to review ALL the items (despite the fact I'm on uni holidays now) so here's one for now.

Being the fourth day of holidays I decided to catch up with an old high school friend. We just had a simple lunch together then headed off the museum, which practically had nothing and no one in it because they were renovating for the next show. I took this opportunity to wear one of the dresses I've been dying to wear but just didn't have time, the right occasion, or the right weather.


Brand Name: 59 Seconds
Floral Print Chiffon Dress

Link HERE





True to stock image! The material is chiffon and there is a satin layer underneath so the dress feels very smooth to the skin when worn =)

I originally disliked this one because I thought I looked like something out of Peter Pan with that collar/flappy thingy >__> But after wearing it today, I changed my mind. I love this dress!!! You can see on the website image the dress is very short and on me, it is no exception. It just covers my bum lol I was going to wear heels (like the stock image) but I though that would make my dress ride up even more >< That's probably my own complaint. If I was shorter it would probably be the perfect length. But I don't mind the length too much since it's so hot here now ~~ There is a green version also available.

And just a few more self-vain photos xD





My mom said I looked like a 15 year child while my friend said my dress reminded me of her grandmother's quilt and the wallpaper LOL
