How to make your face looks slimmer

The golden rule to a thinner looking face – the exposed areas of your face should be more to an angular shape, near to diamond shape. That is the summary from various articles and also personal experience.
Some key tricks to make your face look thinner, these are also my usual practice:





1. Contouring your cheeks with a combination of blush and bronzer. Sweep bronzer along your cheekbones and then blend in pink shade blush below the bronzer. This can create contrast which will reduce the roundness of your face.


2. ALWAYS choose a foundation or powder that is 1 or 2 shades darker than your skin. It does not mean you no longer need your normal foundation or powder. Apply your normal foundation and only blend in the darker shades afterwards; darker shades are used for shaping your jaw line to create a more angular effect. But you have to ensure you do not overdo, else your face will appear two tones like trying to cover up some bruises. It takes some time to master the contour technique!


3. The third trick is a hair technique. Try the eyebrow-skimming bangs rather than keeping your hair one length. It will make your face appears narrower.

More than just an essence mask

I'm pretty sure that most of the ladies are consuming essence mask sheet as part of their beauty rituals. So am I. Nice scent and easy-to-use, and furthermore, no washing required! That's the best part of it.

I super love essence mask~ My weekly usage is about 2 pieces in average. What more can an essence mask supply to you besides the nutrients for your face? Have you think about it? Paying around RM6-RM30 for more than a 15-minute temptation on your face... =)

This is what I usually do after putting on the essence pulp onto my face.

Yogurt for your skin

Preface: I was offered a sponsorship on cosmetics by Korea Cosmetics recently. Thus from now onward I will make regular make-up tips once a week along with the sponsorship schedule. Babes please stay tune as there will be new released cosmetic products review from time to time. Perhaps... free giveaways for the readers too.

Yogurt... lassi, yogurt ice-cream, yogurt bar, yogurt drink, yogurt cheese cake....everything that goes with yogurt is irresistable! And oh...I lost 5kg last time with just a daily dose of 2 cups of yogurt in 2 months without exercise.... I tell you Yogurt is pretty kick-ass!

So why yogurt? Because it is natural, because it is easy to get, and the most important thing - because it is budget-friendly! Yogurt is good as a natural remedy for skin problems such as acne , dry skin, dullness or excessive oiliness. It cleanses and moisturizes at the same time, and also prevents premature aging.

A pampering treat at Araminth Spa Bali

This was back when my hair was still black. We were in Lovina, Bali, at the Kalibukbuk area. After days of travelling around and highly exposed to the sun, I decided to pamper myself a bit before going home on the next day. If you've been to Lovina, you'll understand how rural it is compare to Ubud, or worse, compare to Kuta. So I asked our driver to suggest where we should go for spa, and he recommended Araminth Spa.

In a lush tropical garden within the ancient Balinese palace grounds of Puri Ayudhya, in the heart of Lovina, reposes a haven for well-being: Araminth Spa.

The Spa offers four treatment rooms, spacious oval bath tubs for Mandi Lulur / tropical flower baths.
A relaxing garden-Gazebo, Lounge, and leisure rooms invite you to rest and enjoy complementary fruit drinks and health juices.
Araminth Spa is in walking distance from the Lovina Beach, in a small road (Jalan Mawar) leading to the beach. Tugged away from traffic, but yet close to main road Lovina and the main junction (traffic light Lovina).

“Aruna Centre”, 1 km from Araminth Spa on a hill plateau overlooking Lovina Bay is your garden Eden for your “Wellness Week”.

At the reception. We booked quite last minute and they've run out of masseurs for the day... But in order to not turn us down, the staff called for additional masseurs off duty on that day to serve us. How thoughtful.. However we waited for an hour though, as the fresh flowers for flower bath were also used out.




Spa products and scrubs! How I love them!




I bought some home, couldn't resist the scent of the chocolate scrub and coffee scrub. :P




Wide range of aroma therapeutic oil.




Stone sculpture, very common in Bali.




Combination of flowers and scented oil. This made me feel so soothed...




While waiting for our masseurs to arrive, I checked out the products that they use, almost all on the reception desk. What to do, they smell so damn good. If I could bring them all home, I would... just the matter of over sized baggage... and $$$$$$....




Feel free to check out the massage & treatment programs available before you go. This may help a lot in decision making as everything looks so "intensive" at a glance. To be frank, I almost didn't know how to choose if I need to decide on the spot. Luckily I had some time before our masseurs attended to us.

我为 Betty Boop 而疯狂

爸妈送给我的圣诞节礼物。一整袋哦！（不知道何时才能提完呢？）
从来不知道自己也会喜欢Ｂｅｔｔｙ　Ｂｏｏｐ，直到现在。
我的好友就真的是Ｂｅｔｔｙ　Ｂｏｏｐ粉丝啦。（若她看到一定很大反应哦）
突然觉得有时候拥有一系列的品牌ｃｏｌｌｅｃｔｉｏｎ，是一种满足感。
是种奢侈。。不过，这是爸妈纯粹因为他们这偏爱收集卡通品牌和熊公仔的公主，而送上的圣诞祝福。

好幸福哦！！






































自己也觉得有点夸张～　嘿嘿。。我爸妈也是相当“潮”的啦。。　

～公主幸福也～




MERRY X-MAS !!!

New look! 哈韩国色的染发

昨天染发了，皆因两个礼拜后我将有个超重要任务在身 -- 伴娘！
选了个很韩国look的颜色，有点带金的颜色。
我的发型师说，不是每个人都敢染这种颜色的，因为有可能会好像生锈一样。。
但我却感觉年轻了很多。。好像很韩国娃娃的感觉。

本来想染滨崎步的颜色的，但由于工作关系，好像太过'in'了。

染发前。。tone本来是这样的。

但是几个月后就变成这样了。黑铜参半。。颜色也越渐偏黄了。


染发后。。朝气多了吧！这是没化妆的样子，喝了3个月collagen的效果还不错吧。离题了，要focus的是头发啦。光线不足，所以发色看不出来。待下次拍了outdoor像再update分享。

公主和你分享 - 脚部护理

现在要讲的脚部护理是关于健康的，所谓健康开步走，我们的两脚就是全身的支柱，顾不好，双脚的皮肤和指甲再美也是无济于事。

昨天去买鞋子，就到SCHOLL走一趟，有些非名牌皮鞋，动不动都已经上几百元，倒不如花在有护脚功能的鞋子上。经过昨天的一番了解，基本上我们的脚板可分为三种：normal arch，flatfoot，和 high arch。High arch 的算是不幸的一族，就我咯。。^_^||

店员阿嫂很热情的给我介绍SCHOLL的鞋子，然后就谈到以上我所说的三种脚板了。说真的，很多人都会患了脚痛过后才忙着寻找适合的鞋子，阿嫂讲的，通常患脚痛的人都会想到SCHOLL，因为SCHOLL的确是护脚专家。但是等到脚痛才来护理，未免太迟了吧！要顾就趁早，还没患疾就该了解该如何避免啊~ Prevention is better than cure，大家都该懂吧。

言归正传，要如何知道自己的脚是属于哪一种类型的呢？可以参考以下的图像：

High arch 一族比较容易患上背痛、脚跟痛等等，因为全身的重量没有被平衡的分布于脚板，如果站立姿势不对，或者鞋板太扁（不够志诚），久而久之，脚痛的问题就会来了。。High arch 一族不能长期穿高跟鞋，或者平底鞋(很矛盾。。），鞋子最好有软厚的鞋垫，以便可以支撑身体重量。所以现在开始我就必须多注意鞋子的穿着了，而且也要避免肥胖，多花点心思护理脚步，不然以后成孕妇时可惨啦。。

今天起验证一下你的脚吧！不要惊奇，如果你的脚不是 normal arch，因为有70%的人，都拥有稍有问题的脚。到海边走一趟，沙滩上呈现出来的脚板形状将会告诉你，你属于哪一类。

公主的护肤论 - 蜜糖

护肤跟照顾健康一样的，有病就要吃药，但不是长期吃着，然后突然间停止服用，哪有人没事天天吃感冒药的，那是吸毒吧，戒毒时不痛苦是假的。护肤品就像维他命和保健品（supplements），可以用，但是只需使用你真正需要的分量，缺什么就补什么，也一样有人虚不受补哦。不过还是一句，同“肤”不同命。

很多时候我们真的要跟我们的皮肤好好沟通，至少了解它的“性格”到底是怎么样的，然后才能掌握应有的美容方式。我就是那么一个例子，我不上美容院的，因为太贵的，我还去不起，半途而废可能更糟；中等级的，可能产品不适合（亚洲人皮肤多数不能承受欧美产品的。。）；便宜的，我不想拿我的脸蛋给他当试验品。所以唯一可以符合我的原则，就是自己动手。

我偏爱用天然物品来护肤，最爱的就是蜜糖！蜜糖其实是很神奇的，不只治标还可以治本，又可以内服外敷，很棒！不过，要用的话，就用MANUKA蜜糖，高品质的才可以担保没有其他不适蜜糖的糖分在内。小龙女也只靠蜂蜜来续命，我想那是蛮有根据的，它也是我的灵药。

个人经验：我有个同事脸上长了一些斑点，就去找医生诊治，医生开了一瓶药膏给她，过了两天，不但没好转，反而恶化了。。不只脱皮、红肿，还好像灼伤一样。过后他就去找中医，中医说没大碍，只要停止涂药膏，只用清水洗脸，就会好了。两天后，我看她脸上笑容都没了，红肿紧绷着的皮肤。。看了都心寒。。

又过了两天我终于忍不住问她“你不痛的吗？！”

“痛！痛到我快疯掉啦！”

我就跟她说“相信我吗？你放工后去买瓶MANUKA蜜糖，然后回家用清水洗脸，轻拍掉脸上的水分后，把一茶匙的分量向整个脸涂一遍，15-20分钟后洗掉，你就会明白什么是舒缓痛楚的感觉了。”

周末后回来，我终于看到她的脸上有回笑容了，问她“怎么样？拯救成功了吧？”

“是噢，真的很神奇！连我的侄女都吓呆了。一涂下去的时候痛得真要命！不过很快的脸上就有点凉凉的感觉，好像很滋润。”

“消毒着哪有不痛的嘛。不消毒的话，你就严重了。”

“是咯。皮肤好像还润过之前也。。神奇。。”


分享到此，下回再接。。希望你喜欢我的文章。

（有什么问题也可以留言我的FB粉丝page啦~ 我也想知道大家对我文章的回应）

爱美无罪。。我不是败家啦

公主购物录。。。对了，上两个星期我又去shopping啦~ 我发觉我真的很少买鞋子哦。o.O|| 这次一口气添了3双！（2双高跟的，和1双平底的）喜酒喝多了，不能总是穿来穿去都是同样的那几双高跟鞋啊。。 今年喝喜酒喝到我怕。。 穷弊了！




奇怪吗？女人不买鞋子。。我好像是家里唯一一个女的不疯鞋子的，连我阿妈的鞋子都比我多。。（所以阿妈时不时就会“念”我，说我总是对鞋子爱理不理）。我是这样的啦，鞋子两双好像就够了，但是洋装好像多多都不能满足我的欲望！我超爱穿洋装的，可能我个子比较小，又不高，所以飘逸的花裙子可以让我看起来比较修长吧。很多人都说我比较适合穿花裙，而且我也很喜欢鲜色参杂的效果，人看起来都精神得多。不要以为黑白配很单调，其实不是的。（看看我过去的照片吧，我旅行时都会带碎花洋装）

后来，我在想，其实我不满意我的照片，大多数都是因为脸肿肿的，哎。。。baby fat ><|| 没办法，年龄还没过30，自然消肿无效。。（女王说的）所以呢。。我真的花了很大的功夫来瘦脸。发觉美国人都有这个问题，不然的话，我的瘦脸文章读者统计数字就不会那么多数来自美国的了。。当然我这个没有人气的“作家”有900-1000个人读你的文章，已经算很安慰了吧。

我还是不死心，我要V型脸！！一定要在半年里丢掉我至少一半的baby fat，再去拍婚纱照。结果口袋又“穿洞”了咯，买了Clarins Shaping Facial Lift瘦脸霜，算是我用过的脸霜最贵的一次。还好，两天后就有点效果了，朋友有feedback说我的脸好像有紧肤了的感觉。。嘿嘿。。 （暗自高兴，钱给了至少还有些回报）要脸蛋消肿的美眉也可以一试无妨。小盒的是柜台小姐给的试用样本，所以我没拿出来。




再来。。买了含24K金箔的眼霜，蛮受欢迎的牌子Bio-Essence。把金涂在脸上好像有点奇怪，不过既然黄金可以抗氧化、防潮湿、耐腐蚀、防变霉、防虫咬、防辐射。。。那么就必涂无疑！等过了一个月后眼袋有没有消失一半。




女人不保养，真的很容易残的，所以我还是继续喝我的胶原蛋白质，继续每天做脸部按摩，尽量保持素颜（最多拍一拍松粉和画眼眉），护肤是重要过化妆的！不要吝啬投资自己，让自己耀眼起来；天生条件不好并不是什么大件事，凡事都有补救方法啊，只要肯踏出那一步，你就可以发亮。我就是那么一个例子，真不敢相信竟然还会被羡慕皮肤好。。（我还不是被痘痘缠了好多年，现在时不时还要倒回来作“同病相怜”的人的顾问，还好，算是有救了他们的脸蛋）

抛开靠Photoshop的宿命， 姐妹们大家一起来猪扒变女神（我可喜欢猪猪的哦，虽然我比较偏爱熊熊），让那些批评你的男人大掉眼镜！最好连眼睛都掉出来。爱美无罪，谁说爱美会败家呢！

我不是要变花瓶，我只是对自己的样貌尽最大的责任而已。每当起床后照镜子，人都会开心一点，心情好，一整天就自然会自信满满啦！我常对自己说，我不需要名牌，我自己当名牌就好了。欢迎美眉们齐来交换心得。

Do you drink collagen too?

Collagen drink is really getting hot now. And if you ask me if I'm consuming collagen too, I'll say... of course lah! There are so many brands in the market, and if you go to Watson's or Guardian, you can easily find 3 to 4. I've been comparing the ingredients of a few brands to optimize my ROI (return on investment). If you know me better, you would have known that I've spent a lot of effort on my skin until I've become an expert (almost...haha).

Normal amount of collagen that you can find in the collagen drink range from 5000mg - 9000mg, so you need to spend a little time to calculate which brand is more worthwhile with the same frequency x amount of consumption. I was about to buy Fabula weeks ago because it's one of the highly recommended brand, then I came across GNC's brochure on Taut® Collagen Drink. I just remembered that my family members have GNC membership (I'm really stupid...overlooked and missed out the good), and I can get a discount up to 35%. Cool~

Taut® is a liquid collagen drink which is quickly absorbed by the body to dramatically and intensively improve skin elasticity, density and hydration to the skin. What's good is that it tastes like orange.

Amount Per 50ml vial
RDS® Premium Collagen 13000mg
Shark Cartilage Extract 52mg
Collagen Albino Protein 9mg
Vitamin C 300mg
Vitamin E (Natural) 25mg
Vitamin B1 10mg
Vitamin B2 5mg
Vitamin B6 5mg
Ceramide (from Corn Extract) 1mg
Hyaluronic Acid 10mg
Aqueous Coenzyme Q10 10mg
Beta-carotene 0.5mg
This product contains no pork or pork derivatives, no artificial flavouring or artificial colouring.

Some facts on "How does it work"
(adapted from Taut®)

There are a number of components found in the deeper layers of the skin that are essential for maintaining the quality, structure and appearance of the skin. By replenishing these components that naturally decrease with age, Taut® assists in improving the skin’s elasticity, density and hydration.

RDS® (Rapid Delivery System) Collagen is a premium, low molecular weight marine collagen. Collagen, the main protein found in connective tissue is crucial for the skin’s strength and elasticity. The degradation of collagen that accompanies ageing leads to loss of elasticity and skin density causing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Supplementing with low-molecular weight collagen peptides has been shown in studies to improve collagen formation in the dermis of the skin resulting in smoother and firmer skin.

Shark Cartilage Extract is a natural source of collagen as well as glycosaminoglycans such as glucosamine and chondroitin. Glycosaminoglycans are present in the dermal layer of the skin where they provide structure to the skin and facilitate hydration. Age related reduction of Glycosaminoglycans is associated with a reduction in the skin’s elasticity, density and hydration. Replenishing these components enhances the skin’s firmness and luminosity.

Hyaluronic Acid is a glycosaminoglycan found naturally in food and occurring naturally in the dermal layer of the skin, where it provides structure to the skin and facilitates hydration. The decrease in Hyaluronic Acid throughout the ageing process contributes to a decrease in the elasticity, density and hydration of the skin. Supplementing with Hyaluronic acid replenishes what is naturally lost to restore skin moisture and radiance.

Ceramide, derived from Corn Extract, is a glycolipid naturally occurring in foods and is also natural component of the epidermal layer of the skin. Ceramides play an essential role in skin barrier function, help the skin retain moisture and enables the skin to retain its elasticity. As Ceramides decrease with age, supplementation assists hydration and prevents moisture loss, restoring luminous and glowing skin.

Antioxidant nutrients such as Beta Carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10 provide overall defense from the free radical damage that contributes to skin damage and premature ageing.

Vitamins B1, B2 and B6, essential for skin renewal and regeneration processes, are also important for offsetting the effects of stress on the health of the skin.

Contraindications& Drug Interactions

• This product contains ingredients derived from seafood. People who are allergic to seafood should exercise extreme caution and consult with their physician prior to taking this product.
• Not suitable for use during pregnancy or lactation.
• Warfarin – may increase the risk of bleeding.
• Best taken 2 hours away from prescribed drugs.

My investment:
RM199 RM139 per month (GNC member, I get 30% discount of every 2 boxes purchased)
Amount of collagen 13000mg x 8 = 104000mg
(my personal opinion does not represent the media)

If you have stories on the other brands of collagen drink to share, you're at most welcome to comment. Sharing beauty knowledge is fun! Stay gorgeous~
