Korean make up style

I was not a fan of Korean make up until I met these two books.

They are from a Korean girl called Pony.  I was amazed that she is the one who truly 'created' them.  She was not only modelled and demonstrated all looks, but also the one who 'created' all these looks - she herself is a make up artist.

Pony provides many magic tips which I had never tried before, and the steps are very easy to follow.  For example, dabbing a thin layer of beige eyeshadow right below your lower eyelashes then you would look radiant and younger, or, applying blush as an inverted triangle on your cheeks can make your face look smaller.

What you need are several items in your fingertips (or already in your cosmetic bags, such as beige and brown eyeshadow, an eyeliner, a blush, a mascara, a lipstick, then you can also create 10 different daily/evening looks.

Highly recommend!!

My favourite foundation

I have used BB cream for several months. It is convenient but neither transparent nor radiant enough.  Therefore I switch back to foundation at weekdays, only use BB cream when I go out outdoor with mascara and lipgloss on my face.

I used Kanebo Lunasol foundation before, I love it's sheer effect.  Then I tried other brands but not as good as Lunasol, so I decide to give it a try again this season.

Lunasol launched 'Skin Modeling Liquid Foundation' this S/S.  Compares with the old tube I bought in winter several years ago, I feel its mattifying effect without compromising the smoothness. I feel very comfortable with it on my face.

Lovely!

Humid days

The weather in HK isn't really good recently, humid, lack of sun, the temperature fluctuates between 23 to even up to 27 Degree Celsius, but I try my best to enjoy everyday.

I walked up the hill this morning.  Yes, the atmosphere filled with tiny water droplets, which make people's skin sticky, but I could still enjoy some cool breezes.  The haze enveloped the city last two days starts to diminish, birds sing loudly at tree crowns.

Lucas performed in a drama after school yesterday.  He had done very good job.  I am really proud of him.

一根雪柳香

在這悠閒的早上，點一根從京都帶回來的雪柳香，心情安靜舒暢！

A healthy day

Jeff and I went for cycling at 9am something, right after we sent the kids to school.

We cycled for around 40 minutes.  The feeling was awesome and relaxing.  I then went straight home and practiced piano for one hour.

Isn't it a great day?

It would be a busy afternoon and evening coming up.

What a great day

Both of my boys resume school today.  The old solitude morning returns, welcome!

I'd practice piano for 45 minutes, followed with a walk to the hillside, then relaxed at home, read Cath Kidston - Tips for Vintage Style.

What a beautiful day.  Simple is truly beautiful.

Comedy sit-com freak

By the way, when I was in the flight from Osaka to HK, I watched 8 episodes of 3 comedy TV series, 4 from Anger Management, 3 from 2 Broke Girls, and 1 from The Office.

Jeff said I laughed crazily in my tiny flight seat, I believe I also drew someone's attention from the roll across the aisle, because I felt someone were peeking at what I was watching.

It is quite a good ways to kill three hours in a plane.

Living at the moment

Just came back from Japan, had stayed 7 days in Osaka, Nara and Kyoto for a sakura-seeing trip.  A beautiful journey.

Since we have stayed with the boys for a whole week, literally 24x7, Jeff and I gave ourselves a child-free break yesterday.  We went for a tea in a posh cafe, then we bought a bouquet of flowers back home.

Enjoy every moment, this is what we should do.
