Beauty 101: Don't Let the Sun Go Down On You

I want to name this blog post as Bronze Goddess but then again, I know I will only just deliver empty promises for those who wish to be one, ha! 


Anyway, if you go to youtube and pick up tips from the beauty gurus and if you pick up your local magazine, the 'in' thing now is to look right for summer. Yes of course Singapore doesn't have summer but currently in our hot weather, we are perpetually hot, even at night :S Who cares about not having the four seasons!


So back to topic. The hot beauty product right now is of course bronzer, that will give you the sun kissed look as though you have been standing under the hot summer weather. A bronzer can also help to contour your face shape especially around your cheekbone area, under your chin, the top of your forehead and along the side of your nose. Phewh...might as well apply it around your face and that's that, right? NO! You don't want to look unnaturally tanned...or uhm...dirty.


I have provided links below to help you along with the right application of a bronzer followed by some product recommendations. They have been proof watched and tried as well and so far, nobody has given me weird stares so I guess you can safely make use of their tips and adapt them accordingly to how you wish to apply the bronzer on your face.

Just a mini clarification, a bronzer can be easily confused with a contouring powder. A bronzer is of a darker shade which will give you that rather tanned look though it can still be used to contour different parts of your face to give it some definition. However, if you don't wish to have a darker shade, you can opt for contouring powder and it's pretty self explanatory. But both require precise application. One tip though, suck your cheeks in to get that cheekbone definition and just apply along the lines. You can view the video for it.

So here are the products. As this blog is also dedicated to girls who do not have deep pockets but wish to be beautiful, I try my best to recommend products that are wallet friendly.


Sephora Sculpting Disk. Three shades in one. Value for money.

Of course if you want better quality products because you believe beauty must equal to good quality which means pay more munneh, you can view the videos above and below (through the link provided) for more product recommendations. Some mentioned are also available on our local shores.


I would like to own one of these actually...


but it's not available in Singapore. What is available is this..






 

Bourjois Duo Effet Sculpteur (Bourjois Duo Effect Sculptor)

I would say if you want to invest without burning a holey moley in your pocket, get this instead. Currently Watson's stores are having a 20% product discount so you can get them at a special price. The colours are pretty intense and has a slight shimmer. I swatched it and it's beautiful. 


As I'm not a certified make up artist or a beauty junkie, perhaps a well written short article will be best for ya. Treat this as a starting point.

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
