My Fluffy Life~

Since young, I always look younger than my age and I get many compliments about my look. Even today, at late twenties, I still have new acquaintance thinks I am only in my early twenties. It is happier to hear this than few years back, now that age matters!

But lately, when I look into the mirror I noticed fine lines around my eyes! Gosh, I am a little freak out by it! Although my skin still look young and elastic, the area around the eyes started to look a little aged!

Thus I bought some cucumber pads for my eyes, hoping to ease it down a little; short of getting a wrinkle filler! I believe that they are too dry and I have been using my eyes too much for computers and reading; and too much squinting too. I have been using eye serum faithfully (at least half of the times) but the lines are still firmly planted there.

Time to take more care of my eyes before age catches up with me! (>_<)”

How to care for your nails so that they don’t chip and becomes weak? It is certainly much easier with a few steps unlike taking care of contemporary furniture.Here are some steps in protecting your nails so that it is beautiful, healthy and strong.

-        Do not use it as staple remover, scraper or tool.

-        Don’t use nail to dial number on the phone.

-        Wear cotton lined gloves when doing house chores

-        Never cut your cuticles as it could leads to nail infection

-        Make sure it is always hydrated, so drink a lot of water and diets should be rich in omega 3 and 6. 

-        Moisturizing nails and visit salons whenever you can afford to.

Most women knows what is SPF, which stands for Sun Protection Factor. But what is it really means and how is it measured?

The number indicates how long it takes before sunburn occurs. According to  nuphedragen reviews, some volunteers are needed to do the experiments where they are exposed to light spectrum which mimic the noontime sun.

Some volunteers will wear sunscreen while others don’t.  The amount of light that induces redness in sunscreen-protected skin, divided by the amount of light that induces redness in unprotected skin is the SPF.  

So, a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 will delay the onset of a sunburn in a person who would otherwise burn in 10 minutes to burn in 150 minutes. The SPF 15 sunscreen allows a person to stay out in the sun 15 times longer. 

So, dab on your sunscreen before you go under the sun! Yes protect against skin aging, damage and cancer!

There is a part of my face which I think is very unimportant, or so I thought. Whenever I look into the mirror or when I see other people face, I never set my eyes on that feature. Which makes me think everyone thought the same.

Apparently not. Many said it is an important feature of the face and shape your whole face. I thought that people only work on alli weight loss but apparently some people would take extra care of the eyebrow too. Yeah, I mean the eyebrow! It is just some hairs on top of your eyes, for me at least. I always look at others see, nose or mouth, but never the brows!

But when I read the Cleo yesterday about the lady who was obsessed about her brow, I got up and took my tweezer and started to work on it! Yes, I plucked away the unkept hairs that is out of place. And I plucked and plucked. It is painful! But hmm.. Paris Hilton said :“You don’t have to be an heiress to look like one – if you act like one, then everyone will just presume you are one!”

Nah, I am not really that vain actually, just a little bored on Saturday night. And I like this lines very much too (extracted from Cleo ) :“We live in a capitalist society and beauty has become a kind of currency. But not everyone has the same currency to work with, because not everyone is born with the same level of beauty! You can’t blame people for wanting to master beauty technologies, because we live in a culture that is narcissistic and self-obsessed.” Quoted by Dr Susan Hopkins, sociology lecturer at University of Queensland.So, what’s your currency?

I am not a makeup-person. I don’t even have a complete set of makeup kits to begin; only owning a few pieces of makeup from various brands (some really cheap brand) that I bought over the pharmacy now and then. I do not know how to apply nicely and normally after applying, it doesn’t last long.  �

Except for curling my eye lashes and a dab of Vaseline + lipstick (that would vanish soon after my breakfast) in the morning and occasionally some face powder, I set off to work.

Today after reading a pretty blogger blog, I am tempted to some proper makeup from Benefit! After much browsing in their website, I think I really like this one (Benefit 10 Palette) :

Product Description:This powder duo bronzes & highlights in one sexy sweep to give you sleek, sculpted cheekbones. We’ve chosen two seductive shades for lips & complimentary shades for your eyes. We like to call it “sexy to the max.” Limited edition.


Will try to search it in KLCC Parkson at lunch time~  ^.^
 
 

One of the quickest to spot sign of aging is your skin. There will be fine lines and not as firm as it used to be. Thus it is important to take care of your skin so it doesn’t age before its’ time.

Few factors that could speed up your aging skin are :

The sun : The uv rays could damage our skin and accelerates aging! Some of the changes due to sun exposure includes freckles, age spots, rough skins and wrinkles! It is called ‘photoaging” and thus we should limit our exposure and protect our skin from the sun!Facial

Expression: believe it or not, how you mimic your face could lead to more wrinkles! Repetitive facial movements could cause to fine lines and wrinkles.

Gravity : I think we can’t help much of this. Other factors including Sleeping Position and smoking and balanced diet! So live a healthier lifestyle, at least for you skin!

The last time I went to my hairstylist, he gave me some useful advices when he saw that I am starting to have hair loss problem at such young age. It probably due to the way I shampoo my hair, using those drugstore shampoo which is too strong for my scalp.  

Here are some steps to a wonderfully washed hair :

1.      Don’t lather on dry hair, put more water and make sure it is totally wet! 

2.      Apply shampoo only on the scalp and lather. Not the hair ends.

3.      Do NOT scratch your scalp when you lather, but massage gently with the pad of your fingers.

4.      Buy shampoo that is good and nourishing for your hair (not because of the shampoo scent is nice).Well, hope I can have healthier scalp and healthier and lustrous hair! You too!

As I was walking home from work, I was thinking how unfair it is that some people just look so beautiful and others are ugly. And don’t you tell me that appearance is not important at all, what matters is the heart. All of us know that to a certain level, appearance does matters, in fact a lot in this materialistic world.

So I was thinking that if everyone looks equally beautiful or equally ugly, then the world is not going to be interesting at all, right? And yeah, I got a point there, or so I thought.But hey, if you are the ugly one, how interesting could the world be? It would only be interesting if you are the pretty one and get more attention than others, no? 

So, conclusion is, the world is unfair after all. Some people are born with silver spoons in their mouth, the others? Not even a spoon?

Over the weekend, I went shopping with both of my two best friends, looking for tinted moisturiser. I went to many counters like Estee Lauder, Shiseido, Clinique, Stilla, Bobby Browns and some others. Only three has tinted moisturiser and I had the promoter tried the for me. 

It is the first time I see it and I felt that it is not up to my expectation. I mean I suppose it will works well but somehow I felt that it is almost same like foundation but perhaps more moisturising. And I have to apply loose powder on it as well and remove with make up remover. 

Which makes me think why do I want to have it at the first place? Why don’t I use my existing foundation? Well I guess I am just lazy and I thought tinted moisturiser is a way out. Apparently not. And I have not buy it yet. Maybe I would. Maybe not. =)

A kissable lip?

Here’s a little advice to keep your lip soft, pretty and healthy! For girls and guys too!

1. Before you go to sleep, dab a generous amount of lip balm on your lip. Optionally, you can also use Vaseline.

2. In the morning, exfoliate your lip with your tooth brush softly before brushing your teeth. Yes, lip needs exfoliating too!

3. Before applying your lippie, dab a little lip balm on the lips, preferable with SPF to protect against UV. Apply lippie. It’ll look soft and smooth, kissable lip!

4. Occasionally use lip mask to pamper your lip!
