FINALLY! I bought the long awaited BOBBI BROWN brushes!
The set includes a lip brush, foundation brush (much needed) and a eye shadow brush. A cosmetic bag also came in the box.
These brushes should be the basics, if you don't want to invest in too much brushes. I usually apply my foundation with just my fingers, because it warms the foundation a little, making it easier to blend. However, I find the coverage uneven sometimes, so I thought I would apply with a brush first and then dab with fingers.
The set retails for around £60. BUT, I bought it for £30!! There's a amazing shop called the cosmetic company which sells Bobbi Brown, MAC, Clinique, Estee Lauder etc and everything is at a reduced price. Makeups from seasons past can be bought here, as well as skincare and perfume. If you live near one of the stores , why not give them a visit. You don't know what you will find.
Welcome to my crazy documentary of beauty, fashion and food. Expect to find very random and surprising posts!! Making the world a more colourful place one smartie at a time!

Shoes obsession - Take 2
I don't know if it's just me, but I have a tendcy to get millions of
blisters after walking. Most of the shoes I tried are just so painful to
wear. As a university student walking around is essential. So I first
decided to invest in some casual walking shoes.
After many hours of research/thinking ( I'm very indecisive) I decided to purchase TOMS. I bought the pink!
They are very well known due to their policy of donating a pair of shoes to those in need when you purchase one.
They only came in the mail yesterday so I have yet to walk around in them. The thing is they start off very snug, but I think with wear they stretch out a little.
Wish these are comfy!

Shoes obesession
I have a sudden shoes fever! Some of my heels I wear for clubbing are unfortunately near the end of their life. There is a tendency for crazy drunk people to pour alcohol all over the floor and all over the person next to them. Luckily, only my shoes so far have taken the hit. Sometimes they an rescued with the almighty makeup wipe ( a trick I learnt at uni, makeup wipes can clean everything....usually) but the messy stains and sticky grunge on the sole can't be ignored further.
I am now in major need of new shoes!! I do have a amazing backup pair from china but these feel ultra painful after 10 minutes of wear. I think these are only good forr looking at!
At the moment I have my eyes on Jeffery Campbells. Their extravagant, original designs and fairly reasonable price are favourites amongst the fashion pack.
Two I really have taken a interest in :
Add a little colour into your summer wardrobe. They can be paired with anything from jeans, skirt, shorts etc. And wedges are usually more comfy.

Another I quite like is
Spikes are so edgy, although potentially dangerous if you accidentally back into someone. I guess no pain no gain!

Thinking Corner- 亲人
家长应该是世界上最不自私的人。
他们可以为了孩子付出一切
无论有什么事,他们会永远支持你。
父母是一生最重要的人,虽然会做错事,但一定不是坏心。
都知道父母是没有代价爱自己的孩子的
所以有时间,要记住跟爸妈说声谢谢。
为他们做些什么事

Thinking Corner- you are not alone
Everyone has their story, everyone wears masks. Sometimes it's difficult to let those close to you see the real you. It may be you don't want them to worry, or that you think they will see you differently. I know I for one use another persona to cover the real problems. Of course its always better to let it out.
But- what if you can't? Sometimes the problem can be very severe, or difficult to understand.
Joining a community/forum which deals with the specific issue helps because these are people experiencing the same problems as you. Believe me, talking to people will always make you feel better.
If you just want to discuss something, anything , feel free to comment here anonymously or message me :)
GUYS it's time to turn that frown upside down!!

'PSY-GANGNAM STYLE' REVIEW
I've been having a tough time recently, but this video reaalllyyy made me laugh. PSY is a comedy genius! His compilation of poker straight face, lyrics and hilarious dance moves makes the MV very enjoyable to watch. This is the first time I've seen a PSY MV but I can tell why he's such a famous artist now. The guy who can bring the laughter- Carry on the good work!
Keeping Moving Forward
Life is often compared to a roller coaster, you experience the thrilling blissful highs as well as the depressive pessimistic lows.
One low roller coaster bend happened to me recently. And it only made me realise how I shouldn't taken everything for granted. Yes the this 'dip' was life changing. I honestly don't think I'm the same person anymore. I feel more grown up and more aware.
Now, I am so much more determined to make most of life and this mysterious roller coaster ride. After all, what is there to be afraid of? The seat harness will never let you fall. So don't be afraid to become the person you've always wanted to be. Let your light shine!
Good Luck!!
