LOOKBOOK: Because school is a bore.

Hey Muffins!

What a wet Sunday we're having! But I'm actually liking the coldness. Bring on the hoodies, coats, hosiery, boots yada yada yada! :D (In every bleak situation, no matter the degree of bleakness, there is ALWAYS a positive thing about it. I swear.)

Anyway, school has started for me and as usual, it's a bore. BUT my friend, Sya, and I decided to spice things up a little by having a dress-up day every Wednesday (NO ONE, NOT A SINGLE SOUL in my faculty dresses up.)!

Last Wednesday, we had to wear dresses (Okay, I do have a couple of dresses lying DEEP inside my cupboard, but they aren't really my thing. I'm usually in my American Eagles tees and denim Espirit shorts.)!

Click on the photos to get close-ups!

Say 'Hi!' to Sya! :D And also a big hello to one of the many loos in my school!

And yes, I'm usually in spects because when I wear my contacts, my head seems to be ten times bigger. HAHA. I know it's completely irrational but yeah... Haha.

F21's basic white tee
H81's plaid dress
Emilio Cavallini's Lace Knee High Socks

This is a photo of me a couple of years back. Yes, I was in my estate's loo (Gorgeously huge mirror!). And yes, I completely love checkered skirts and knee-length socks!

Topshop's black cropped top
Purple racerback
Espirit denim shorts
ASOS Black Over The Knee Stripe Tights

On Thursday, I woke up to a cold morning so I was like "Hey! I can wear my tights and boots!". But by the time I was done showering, the sun was high up in the sky, mocking at me. I wore my tights anyway, skipping the boots.

One of my friend said I looked like one of the Spice Girls. AHAHAHAHAHA. I hope it's Posh Spice. She was my favourite!



Anyway, I LOVE the tights so so SO much!



And here's another picture! Haha. Okay, yes. Obsessed with tights. Those shoes are usually what I wear if I'm dressing up and am not in boots. Comfort takes priority over fashion. Trust me, I wish I could wear those ridiculously high heels and boots. But the thought of having to endure any sort of discomfort, getting painful and ugly blisters and of me tripping and fracturing any of my body parts (High probability here. I trip even on flat ground.)... Nuh uh!

Alrighty. I now have to go battle monsters in the form of numbers.

Till the next entry,
xoxo.

REVIEW: Schwarzkopf's Gliss Hair Repair Shea Cashmere Shampoo and Conditioner

Edited with Instagram. Click on it to see the original photo.

*screams* I LOVE THESE!!! *jumps up and down*

Whoa, okay. Ummm...Chill! What is 'Schwarzkopf'? I have NEVER heard of it.
Schwarzkopf is a German hair cosmetic brand. According to its website, it is one of the top 3. I came across it when I was searching for a hair mask (Read the review of the Deep Repair 19 hair mask here.). You can find its products in neighborhood toiletries stores, Sasa, Mustafa (Mustafa has a FAR wider range and yes, prices are cheaper!) and very recently, Watsons (Watsons carries only the Gliss line; Total Repair, Color Shine & Protect and Shea Cashmere.).

Which type have you got?
Shea Cashmere (I love the way the word 'cashmere' rolls off my tongue! Cashmere, cashmere, cashmere...). :D

And what type of hair is this meant for?
Dry, drained hair.

What are the key ingredients?
Shea Butter and Cashmere-Protein. These 2 ingredients help keep your hair healthy and supple. "100% suppleness for hair like cashmere"!

So do these products work? Oh right. I forgot about your enthusiasm at the start. Umm... Why do you like it?
Both the shampoo and conditioner deliver their claims! My hair's originally of the rough texture and I was using Sunsilk and Tsubaki before this. Though both brands kept my hair smooth and relatively more tamed, they weighed down my hair. I think it's because it's too 'oily'. My hair became limp.

But these 2 spell a different story. My hair's tamed too but, it is supple!

Supple as in like the SK-II 'bo-ing bo-ing'?
Haha. YES! That's exactly it! There is like a 'spring' to my hair! Life!

Sounds fabulous...
It doesn't 'sound' fabulous! It IS!!!

(There goes the crazy enthusiasm again...) Umm... What prices will I be looking at?
Prices at Sasa and Watsons are around $13 (Watsons is currently having a 20% off.). At Mustafa, if I recall correctly, it's about $13 and they have got Schwarzkopf's other lines as well (Shampoos and conditioners with flavors like smoothie and chocolate!).

Sounds good...
It doesn't 'sound' good! It IS!!!

Okay, thanks and bye.
IT IS GOOD. TRUST ME!!!

UPDATES: My Vanity Area (Part 2)

Hey Muffins!

I'm back with the 2nd installment of my vanity area! Sorry that I'm a tad late. School ends pretty late for me (Seriously, what's with NTU and its afternoon classes?!? You would think that I'm doing a part-time degree. Grrr...).



This is quite possibly the part of my vanity area which I am most proud of.



The letterings were hell to cut because the outlines had gaps and weren't smooth at all. The string was bought from Paper Market. I wanted to make friendship bracelets out of it many moons ago, but well, procrastination totally threw that idea into the bin.



My favourite design out of the 3! These charms are actually Juicy Couture ones! Since I can't afford the real McCoy... Haha!



I was a little stuck for ideas for the last drawer and then, I was like "Why don't I pay homage to Sunbathing Muffins?!?". The initial plan was to outline a muffin with the string but ummm... It seemed like an impossible task in my head so I decided to do polka dots (My previous obsession.). Ribbons were put in because well, I'm into lace, pearls and ribbons now!

Now let's take a peak into the drawers...



CUBBY HOLES!!! :D :D :D I remember very clearly loving cubby holes in kindergarten. They were like little homes for our school bags! *squeals* Okay, ignore me. But I do love cubby holes. Really. Haha.

This was an idea from our previous carpenter. He did it for Mum's accessories in our previous apartment. Mum loves it and so she had these cubby holes done for the 3 ladies in the house! (:



This is a rough layout of my cubby holes. Notice that Urban Decay, M.A.C. and NARS have their own cubbies? Hehe. XD





Close-ups! Do you spot toilet rolls? Haha! I use them to house my eyeliners so that my eyeliners won't be lying flat on the floors of the cubby holes. It's really annoying to get them out when that happens.





The upper tier contains my accessories. Most of them are from Accessorize, my to-go shop for accessories!



There are more cubby holes at the back (The top tier can be moved.). That's where I keep new items and some samples.



In the second drawer, I keep my palettes, new makeup items (They are in the Converse shoebox.) and umm... Yes, my MacDonald's miniatures and Singapore Airlines Barbie Doll. Haha. I wanted to decorate my vanity area with the former but well, there isn't really much space left.

The Singapore Girl was a gift from my Dad when I was in primary school. It's the only Barbie doll which I didn't rip out from her box the moment I got it. It was just too special. (: Dad travels a lot.



The last drawer has my Babyliss curlers, new haircare and skincare products and samples. Yes, I can open up my own store. Need hairspray? Not a problem! Body scrub? Got that! Sunscreen? Yep, that too. Haha. Mum got a shock when she saw this drawer. But I daresay that you guys have more stuff than me, no? XD

Alrighty. Here ends the little 'tour' of my vanity area! Thanks for reading! (:
