✈ Bangkok  To more adventures ahead... ๐Ÿ“Siam  Nearest BTS: Siam For all of my past trips to Bangkok, our home base never left Pratunam. Pratunam is a fabulous place to stay when your primary focus is for hardcore shopping at Platinum Fashion Mall, Krung Thong plaza and its morning market. A little fyi for y'all shopaholics, Glow & Centerpoint Pratunam are my top hotel choices for that area. For this trip, we made Siam Novotel our home base and boy oh boy do I love this location so damn much. There's so much to do, shop and eat without having to travel far. A great line-up of massage parlors across the hotel, the surrounding of shopping malls,  BTS station right at its door step, bustling night market and wide array of delicious Thai eateries & restaurants to taste. There just so much to see and do at Siam.  ๐Ÿ“ Three Wheels Tom Yam Noodle 414/18-19 Rama 1 road, Patumwan Ban gkok, Thailand 10330 A 2 minutes walk from Nov...

Boohoo + Styling thigh slit midi skirt

My fellow beautiful curvy ladies, we need to talk about Boohoo! You know, I've been shopping with ASOS for about what, 7 years now and it's time for a change. Thanks to them I get to know about another incredible brand - Boohoo, which is becoming my go-to online boutique. Although ASOS carries Boohoo on their site, it isn't in its entirety. Some things like celebrity collaborations are still exclusive to Boohoo's site.  Here are some thoughts I have as a paying customer of Boohoo and I thought you should too if you're planning to make your order.  Choosing your size Boohoo tends to run smaller in size when I compare with ASOS or Dorothy Perkins but they're still true to size according to their size guide. This means if I'm a UK 14 with ASOS, I'll have to size up with Boohoo. Do keep in mind that different companies has entirely different size guide, please make sure your measurements matches the size guide to avoid any disappointment from fit ...

Jumpsuits, The Things Nobody Told You.

The classy one piece that could be arguably the most effortless look anyone can pull off for a girls' night out or a formal work day. But what do we know about the miseries behind ladies who somehow still managed to keep it together till the end of the day in a snugly fitted jumpsuit? 1. How do you pee in this damn thing? Obviously there is no classy way to take a piss when you're in a jumpsuit. All of this happen in slow motion, it takes patience and a bunch of coordination to disrobe and hold up the pants dearly to avoid dragging it across the bathroom flooring. From my experience I can easily tell you that in a toilet emergency kind of situation, the entire process has to be sped up x4 but the actual feeling of disrobing to landing your butt on the toilet seat feels almost like a 110 metres hurdle race that you're about to lose. 2. Can I still pull off a jumpsuit if I'm lesser than a 1.8m? How about this, I stand at 1.65m and that's 5'5" whic...

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette

Image
As promised I'm here to deliver my review on my current go-to palette - Modern Renaissance by Anastasia Beverly Hills. Without further ado let's jump into the review! In this palette you will get a total of 14 gorgeous shades that consist of 11 mattes and 3 metallic shades. The colors are the perfect blend of neutral and berry tones which is comparable to Violet Voss' Holy Grail palette. I can't speak for the quality for Violet Voss' palette but if you're not about trashing your money in a beauty product ($120), this is a fabulous choice of quality at $75. Tempera : matte beige.  Golden Ochre : matte earthy-yellow matte Vermeer : metallic iridescent shell  Buon Fresco : antique lavender  Antique Bronze : metallic sable Love Letter : matte raspberry Cyprus Umber : matte dark coffee  Raw Sienna : matte neutral amber Burnt Orange : matte deep orange  Primavera : shimmery gold Red Ochre : matte sienna  Venetian Red : matte crimso...

LIME CRIME VENUS PALETTE PART II [#LOTD]

Image
As a follow-up post from my Lime Crime Venus palette review , below are 2 looks that I've created. Colors used: Divine, Rebirth, Shell & Aura  - Using my Zoeva 225 brush, pick up Divine and in a swiping motion apply it on the sockets of your eyes (above your crease). - Gently pat Shell using an eyeshadow brush onto the entire eyelid. - With my Zoeva 230 pencil brush, apply Rebirth on the outerV of my eye. - Using Aura as a highlight color, apply in the inner corners of the eyes and at the center of the eyelids.  - Draw your cat eye and wing it!  - Apply mascara or false lashes for extra glam.   Lip color: Laura Mercier Velour Lovers in Infatuation & Tarteist lip paint in So Fetch. TIP: Avoid using Rebirth above the crease if your goal is to look as natural as possible. A bright crease color may give you the effects of puffy eyes.  Colors used: Creation, Divine, Icon (3ce one ...

Lime Crime Venus Palette

Oops I didn't managed to get hold of the recent hyped palette - THE Too Faced Sweet Peach palette. Instead I'm gonna review a palette that was released two years ago! (still not too late to jump onto the Lime Crime bandwagon.)  Just like everyone else, I was beyond excited to hear that Too Faced is launching its first peachy toned palette. In fact I was 100% sure in getting it because my make-up collection is lacking in the orange department. But ever since its release in Singapore it has been out of stock at Sephora island-wide. Truth to be told, I've yet to see the palette in real life. Talk about legend. At first I was so bummed because I got to know that there will be no further restocks, but now that I've dedicated some time on researching the palette, I'm thankful that the shortage actually helped kill any chance for impulse buying that I initially had.  It's easy to go about finding dupes to the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette but most r...
