Makeup Look: Fall Makeup Look Using Purple And Gold

Purple & Goldxxxxxxxx

Playing in my makeup again!  Okay, so today I used the fall colors, purple and gold.  I like these two colors together and they look good on any skintone.  This look can be for day or night.  For night, I'd probably deepen the eye colors a bit by adding a deep purple to the crease.

What I'm wearing:

Eyes: 

Ruby Kisses Express Shadow Liner -  Gold and Purple (beauty supply brands. names rubbed off)

Hard Candy Metallic Shadow Stick - Soiree (this is a metallic brownish gold)

Maybeline Eyestudio Creme Liner - Black and Maybeline Falsies Mascara - Blackest Black

Cheeks:

MAC - Raisin (deep redish brown)

Lips:

MAC LipGlass - Wind Me Up (deep gold with flecks of pink)

For the eyes, I put the gold on my lids and lower lash line.  Soiree is in the crease. I added the Purple to my outer "V" and then lined my upper lash line and water line with black and added black mascara.

*Tip: If you're new to makeup, this diagram may help a little with application:

Pink = inner corner
Blue = upper lash line
Orange = crease
Green = water line
Red = lower lashline
White = outer V
Lavender = Brow Highlight

"Waist-deep in thought because

When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink

I'll think of you tonight

I'll think of you tonight"

Owl City's Vanilla Twilight played on in the background as I read Katie MacAlister's 'Up In Smoke' at the mall whilst waiting for Mr. C to be done with his shift, an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and homesickness just hit me and for a moment, just a teensy moment in a space of a few seconds, I felt extremely sad.

I don't know why and where it came from but it brought a certain someone to mind. Just like that, out of thin air. I thought I was over this- a trip down to that particular memory lane- and am moving on. Ironically, thinking of you amplifies the loneliness.

Now, a thousand and one thoughts assault my mind over and over without giving me a moment of respite. I can't help but feel like I am making a mistake. A mistake of sorts.

And I can't help but wonder where did any of those thoughts popped out from.

Challenge: Day 26 - Day 30

Day 26 – Your fears

Fear of making the wrong choices.

Fear of not fulfilling ANY of my dreams.

Fear of marrying and childbirth.

Fear that I will make a naggy and terrible wife and mother.

Fear of my children turning out funny.

Fear of never finding me and who I really am.

Fear is a powerful emotion. It can paralyse you and leave you weak, that's if you let it. To fear is a rational feeling that is common. But to fear something and NOT do anything about it is a no, no. So, I am to forge on and take each fear by fear and overcome it instead of letting those fears define me.

Day 27 – Your favorite place

My bed especially with a cosy comforter- to sleep in and get all cozied with a novel in hand.

Day 28 – Something that you miss

I miss and mourn the innocence I've lost leading to the now me that is disillusioned and somewhat jaded.

I miss my childhood minus traumatising school years in my primary Chinese School and at home.

I miss running and playing in the rain, cycling with the wind and having no worries for tomorrow.

I miss Patches.

I miss Korean lessons.

I miss movie and karaoke sessions.

I miss driving my manual Edward.

I miss earning my own income and having money to spend.

I miss my freedom to call out my friends anytime for a drink, for a chat.

How do I name something I miss when there is an endless list? But once again, I should live in the present and learn to look forward to the future. As bleak as it looks right now, I believe, in due time and with God by our side, things will work out for the better and I will not have a thing to miss.

Day 29 – Your aspirations

This is what Kathlynn wrote in her blog to this challege...

I aspire to touch as many lives as possible as long as I am in this world.

As cliché as it may sound, it is true. I know that I am no where close there, but I hope that one day, at my eulogy, as least a person or two would come up and say “She made a difference to my life…”

and it's so uncanny because THIS is what I aspire to. My legacy. At my funeral, I wonder what people say and I, too really hope that people would come up and say how much I've touched their lives and how I made a difference.

Day 30 – One last moment

Funny thing is I can't remember the last time I saw you. That would be the last time I ever see you and yet, the memory of it escapes me. Perhaps, it is for the better.

And now, this is the end of the 30day challenge. I will miss it as it has given me some frame to work on. To reveal a little more of myself. To be real and not just be another bimbotic blog out there. =p Then again, I think, sometimes people DO want to read or see bimbo blogs posting bimbo photos of themselves.

Oh well. It's a dog eat dog world. I hope you had as much fun reading as I had blogging the response.

Rocklea Markets weekend jaunt

Last Saturday, Mr. C and I woke up early and headed to Rocklea Markets which is located at Brisbane Markets area. The markets were buzzing with activities. Families and couples, young and old throng the place.

There are plenty of stalls ranging from those that sold fruits to vegetables to flowers and plants to breakfast stalls and the list just goes on. It is to navigate around the stalls as they're mostly arranged neatly in rows. Definitely easier to breathe than Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, Thailand. Then again, that one is more of a flea market with all kinds of trinkets.

I was a little bit disappointed despite going there with no expectations. I guess I was hoping to see more interesting and quaint stalls like those at Eumundi Market previously blogged HERE, but Mr. C said they usually have those at the flea markets and bazaars where else Rocklea Market caters more to the community who are there for the reasonably priced food.

And we definitely had value for our money. We spent approximately AUD5 for two pears, two apples, a half cabbage and a lobak (radish)! Probably saved half of what we would have spent at Woolies or IGA.

There were several stalls that served food such as the above. AUD7.50 for two eggs, two bacon, onions and a flat tasting sausage. Pay extra AUD2 and you'll get orange juice.

Mr. C, however was craving for some German sausages and I must say they tasted pretty good. The smell assaulted our sense even before we passed the stall! His sausages were pricey but definitely worth it- juicy, cheesy, tasty and succulent! I gave him my eggs and bread whilst he offered me several servings of his oh-so-delicious sausages.

The market was mostly made up of fruits and vegetable stalls.

Look at how HUGE the mushrooms were as compared to the average sized lemons.

Plants were sold as the above.

You can buy them and plant your own vegetable farm!

I was amused by this display of doggie treats.

The market was packed with adults and kids alike.

It's currently mango season here in Brisbane but even then, it can be rather pricy. This is the cheapest I've seen so far but the mangoes have to be consumed within a day or two as they're soft and fully ripe.

Aussies seem to fancy this sweets. Just looking at it gives me diabetes.

Ok. I exagerate. =p

GUESS WHAT??!!! In Malaysia, I get my eyebrows threaded for ONLY RM5 at an Indian shop in Bangsar. When I first came to Australia, as I walked the malls and saw that waxing or threading the brows cost AUD35, I had heart palpitations.

But fret not, for now, whenever my bushy eyebrows grow out of shape despite my terrible maintaining skills, I know where to go. I'll just head over to Rocklea Markets for my grocery shopping AND get my brows threaded and for ONLY AUD5!!

Only thing missing is my eyebrow-threading-companion, Camz. Wonder how is she getting hers done in the land of the Merlion!

Mr. C and I were parched after our hearty breakfast and had a cup of orange juice. As we walked the market, our tongues were feeling dry and we bought our second cup from the above shop. This shop's orange juice is better! It feels fresher and sweeter as opposed to the other shop that had some weird taste.

Flowers on our way out...

Pay AUD for entrance fee.

So, see you Rocklea Market in a month's time when my brows are in dire need of upkeeping!

Market is open every Saturday, 6am - 12pm.

It is AT Brisbane MarketPlace, 250 Sherwood Road, Rocklea.

Fashion Crave: Leather Jackets Are On The Radar

     

Leather jackets have been my latest crave!  I especially have my eyes on the biker styled jackets.  If it's bright colored, that's even better.  These jackets are not your typical leather jackets.  They are funky, fun and super stylish.  If you have the cash to splash, or even if you just want to window shop and drool like me, go to Luisaviaroma.com to check out more CRazy designs and fun items.  

Challenge: Day 21 - Day 25

Day 21 – Another moment

Picture taken from HERE.

I wonder how I let that moment happened and I do wonder if it meant to you anything at all. Or if it meant to you even a smidgen bit what it meant to me. It messed everything up and yet made everything all right. Not the most ideal of situations but the moment just happened. Most importantly, for some insane reasons, we let it happened. I wish to erase it but it is always there. Perhaps in time, it will fade.

Day 22 – Something that upsets you

When some one says one thing but means something else.

When some one uses another person.

When a good person is taken advantage of.

When I plan to do things but I procrastinate and never get them done.

When people are insincere and fake.

When people stick their nosy heads into your butt.

When people are condescending and patronising.

When people are inconsiderate of other people's feelings, time and everything!

When a person is wrong and refuses to admit his/her shortcomings.

When an asshole driver cuts out suddenly without warning.

Or when he decides to be 'courteous' and signal LAST minutely.

Or when a stupid driver decides to jam the whole frigging roundabout by not giving way.

Or when an annoying driver stops in a yellow box restricting others access.

Tell me WHAT doesn't annoy me, man... =p

Day 23 – Something that makes you feel better

Tim tams.

Bubble tea.

Arnott's custard cream biscuits.

Hehe. Besides that, I have to say that HUGS mean a lot. Hugs are really a big thing to me. Kisses and all I can live without IF I really had to choose but hugs... definitely can't live without it. It warms the cockles of my heart. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's as if everything will be alright even though if everything's going wrong just right then, all at the same time.

Taken from HERE.

It makes a world of difference when you're down- upset about life, work, relationships- and someone hugs you, saying that everything is going to work out somehow. And right then, you do feel that somehow, things will really be alright.

Day 24 – Something that makes you cry

When I've stubbed my toe or smacked my hand somewhere.

Or when I banged my hips or legs and it hurts like crazy.

Picture taken from HERE.

Or when I had to say goodbye to Mr. C when he first left in 2006 to Brisbane for his studies.

Or the time when I was a little girl and had to get my tooth extracted.

Or when we exchange harsh and hurtful words.

Or when the Beast "died" in Beauty and the Beast.

Or when I had to leave everyone behind...

The list is endless.

Day 25 – A first

Picture taken from HERE.

A first kiss.

A first 'hello'.

A first time travelling overseas on my own.

A first time going on a trip with friends.

A first time driving illegally with a certain pothead.

A first driving up and down Genting Highlands in my manual Edward.

and hopefully what's to come...

A first marriage and hopefully the ONLY one. =p

A first child. Preferbly a boy.

A first job here in Brisbane.

A first car.

I would love a BMW M3 but I would be practical,

and settle for a Honda Civic perhaps.

A first house.

Which will be filled with two doggies- both retriever-

one labrador, the other golden.
