Bunny's suggestion: Lady Gaga; My Poodle hair

As usual, every once a while when common sense leaves me for a holiday, I do the stupidest things. This time, I permed my hair. I have permed my hair a couple of years ago and hated it, so what on earth made me think I'll like it this time? I have absolutely no idea.

Maybe I imagine that the hair will turn out looking something out of the latest Popteen magazine, instead it somewhat came off the dog grooming brochure. All said and done, I'll have to live with it till it straightens again. In about 3 months or so if I'm lucky.

Ohh how I cried...
Btw, I forgot to gel this, it's usually curlier

I guarantee you that my next hair style will be short, straight and black.

I needed ideas and suggestions for an EOTD and you gave them, Thank you Lisa, Bunny and Rola (just click on their names for the link) for the great ideas! Instead of picking one, I decided to try out all three as they were all interesting. Something I would not have picked or thought of myself.

So coming up soon will be:

• A Leah Dizon look
• A bridal look of Bella from Twilight Breaking Dawn

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... How about the lady gaga look? That will be really really interesting!! the one with the eyeliner under neaththe eye oneeee~!!! lol am i making sense??" ♥Bunny♥

Picture from good old Google

Bunny, I hope I picked the right picture cause I ended up google-ing Lady Gaga eyeliner under eyes and got this. LMAO

Lazy Ash hardly takes off her leftover make up for an EOTD. Left over of the day from office. Sir Terrible Memory was hogging my laptop so I wasn't able to take a good long look at Lady Gaga. Yeshu, I blame you, Sir TM!

Dug thru my make up box and whipped out a long forgotten liquid eyeliner from Elianto that was due to go for a long vacation via dustbin. Bottom liner took me nearly 7 tries before I was somewhat satisfied. One good or is it bad thing about the liquid eyeliner that I could easily rub it off with a wet wipe and do it all over again when I did a mistake.

Once I started looking like a slightly more prettier version of Ronald McDonald, I covered my eyebrows with concealer and add my foundation. I did a mistake of grabbing my 'usually saved for ghostly pale' foundation and slapped it on. I came off looking a little too pale for this look.

Add false eyelashes and draw a mole the size of Texas. It never meant to be Texas, my hand slipped *excuses excuses* and add on red lippies. Added Bourjois chocolate bronzer on cheeks, highlighted, clean up messy eyeliner and call it a day.

To be truthful, I wanted to add some gold and silver sparkling eyeliner for the lines. No way on earth am I gonna stick those rhinestones on one by one. It'll take me all year!

Lo and behold, my gold eyeliner has long caked up, clumped up and died. It went to the places where all eye liners go when they die - Dustbin.

Thus it put an end to my attempts.

So Bunny, here you go, a subtle Lady Gaga + Ronald McD look that you wanted but didn't turn out the way you envisioned.

Suggestions, suggestions

If there's any look that you saw in a magazine or even YouTube that you would like to see me attempt, please let me know. I've been wanting to do some EOTDs but brain is overworked, underpaid and has gone on strike!

Thanks!

P.s: Please note that the look will probably come out looking nothing like the picture/video/whatever. But it'll still be fun to see what I can come up with, right? Right?! RIGHT???

Poodle hairstyle; NOTD Music sheets; Elyn's gifts

Ahh, what is there to write? Except that I have a hair style that only Poodles would love. Like seriously. No, I'm not in the mood to post up pictures of my hair right now. Perhaps later. I wept sorrowfully on my bed upon returning from the hair dresser.

There was a serious miscommunication between me and my hair dresser with each of us having a different picture in our head. And to think, I endured and kept my hair to shoulder length to get this hair and now all I want to do is dunk my head in a tub till it straightens.

The words, 'I trust you' is now haunting me.

Work started since last Tuesday. I don't want to complain so I'll skip that part or 500 pages won't be enough for me. Elyn's package arrived! What a surprise. Came home from work and there it was, a HUGE parcel with my name written on it with a note to make me burst out laughing.

In it, there was a bag of sweets, filled with green tea sweets and delicious with sticky, chewy plum fillings. Elyn, you shame me. I sent you 2 sweets and you sent me a bag full T.T I was so ashamed!

There was also crackers, sweets, cookie shaped picks and a bottle of L'Occitane Fleur de Cerisier body lotion. Why must you send me such expensive gifts? Didn't I say I'll pay for the lotion? Stop being difficult and give meeeee your account numberrrr~

P.s: I've been trying for days to upload the pictures to no avail. Something wrong somewhere. Had to use photobucket o.O

NOTD - Music sheets

Well, I guess if there's one way to cheat during a music exam. If you're suppose to memorize the notes, just stamp them on your nails :P

But normally, they'll just make you play and tone deaf people like me won't go far even with the notes stamped on my nails.

NOTD; Lovely lens Contact lenses

It's going to be a while before I will be posting up any EOTD in good lighting. I'm starting work tomorrow and I'm nervous as hell. Its not excitement but pure nerves.

So with my last remaining hours slowly ticking away, I will be doing two short reviews and a NOTD

Impulse buy at the afternoon market in Straits Quay. It's a little like my Anna Sui's loose powder box. I thought it'll make a nice dressing table decor.

Out of curiosity but partly because I noted this was one of the cheapest make up removers in Watson, I decided to try it out. I compared it between our usual ZA oil make up remover and Biore but this one was cheaper and had more ml.

Of course, me being me, missed out the word, WATER. Perfect Cleansing WATER. Had a mini panic attack but done is done.

It takes me about two pumps to fully remove all make up. Using ZA or Biore only takes me half or one pump. So while it might be cheaper, this will be finishing faster.

What I like about it is the feeling of our skin being really clean after using the cleansing water. There is no oily residue or the feeling of anything on our skin. It also cleans pretty well for a 'water' type of remover (surprisingly)

Beware of the liquid getting in your eyes though. It's potent enough to render you to your knees while screaming, 'MY EYES, MY EYES! OH GOD, my eyes!' Yes, it's that good.

A while back, Sir Stingy and I went to the Tuesday night market at the Tanjung Bungah Market and while browsing around saw that they sold contact lenses. Instint and common sense tells us to buy it from a proper shop and not some dodgy night market.

Of course, I lack the usual common sense and bowed to temptation. Different stalls sells it at a different price but it's all the same thing. I bought mine at RM20. I didn't buy these for long term usage but mostly for EOTD and FOTD so I'm hoping they'll be okay.

I didn't dare to wear it till I did some research. The sellers all assure me it was made in Korea. Hah! That's exactly what they said about the fake MAC cosmetics as well. That it is made in Korea under license. Righto, I may occasionally lack common sense and lapse in good judgment but I do have an IQ higher than 20.

It would seem that where ever it came from, it was re-packed in Malaysia. I bought the lenses in gray but it's more black than gray. I forgot to check the diameter of the lenses and it was a 16.oMM. I don't have big eyes but at 16.0MM, it's enough to make me look Junon-ish in real life. My usual ones are only 13.8MM

NOTD -

Making use of the Konad I purchased. Trying out different colour combination to see what works and what doesn't.

Revisted: CoastalScents brushes

Back in 2008, I bought a couple of brushes from Coastal Scents. I got the Pink Kabuki brush, Pink Duo Fiber Powder Stippling, Angle Blush Brush and the Deluxe Buffer brush. Back then, there was a craze thanks to a few make up gurus on YouTube raving about them.

3 years later and owning more brushes now, I come to realize how much I hated those brushes.
I first got the Pink Kabuki brush, Pink Duo Fiber Powder Stippling in June of that year. They were very soft and I had good impression on them. I washed the brushes with some mild shampoo as usual and that's when the "fun" began.

The Pink Duo Fiber Powder Stippling brush bled like crazy, staining the entire white part permanently gray. Till now. I do not own another stippling brush thus I cannot compare how stippling brushes are suppose to work and the effects. Right now, I think this is junk.

I've always wanted a kabuki brush. The name itself sounds so cool. Nowadays, I use this to put on my mineral foundation. The colour never bled, thank God but just after a few washes, it started shedding like crazy.

Before people start pointing their finger at me thinking it's my funky washing skill or funky shampoo, please take note that I use either Daiso's brush cleaning detergent or Johnson and Johnson's baby shampoo. Also, I have no shedding problems with my other brushes, it's just these.

Every time I use this, I have to literally start spitting out hair from my mouth and then pick up the other scattered hair from my face.

Next batch

Left to Right: Angle Blush Brush, Flawless Face Chisel Blush Brush, The Deluxe Buffer Brush

In August 2008, I got the Angle Blush brush and the Deluxe Buffer brush. The hair on the brush is somewhat coarse and not as fine as the Kabuki brush. Out of all these brushes, the only one I still use is the Angle Blush brush which I use to contour my face on my non-lazy days. It's also my only angle Blush brush so I don't have much of a choice.

I really need to start getting more brushes and better ones. *sigh*

The deluxe buffer brush is a total FAIL! It's the first one I ditched. It sheds like no tomorrow and because the hair is fine, it gets into your eyes and when it sticks to your face, it really sticks and it's hard to pick it off. Hate hate hate!

Well, lesson learnt.
