LOOKBOOK: Because girls wear their hearts on their skirts.



Today's theme was 'Outrageous'. The initial plan was to wear a black asymmetrical skirt with inner mesh lining that sticks out, a white tee and an awesome black, gothic flower necklace. But the innate desire to blend into the crowd binned that idea.

Still, I stuck out. Of course.



F21's black lace tank top
Topshop's black cropped top
ASOS PETITE Knitted Heart Print Skirt
Random black knee-high socks




I think I looked like a Londoner. Or at least, I felt like one. I think it's the whole knitted skirt thing and long sleeves. (Think: Wet, gloomy London weather. Except that I'm in SG and the weather was nothing like that.)

REVIEW: Cure Water Treatment



Cure Natural Aqua Gel is big in Japan, having been ranked among the crème de la crème of skincare products on the popular Cosme website for a couple of years. The Cure staff has to deal with the opening of cartons of Cure Natural Aqua Gel everyday and as a result, suffer from dry hands. Not surprising, definitely. But what's surprising is that when the management found out, they came up with Cure Water Treatment *points above* for the staff!



I have been using mine for a while now, so it's probably left with its last couple of breaths. :\ Anyway, the Cure Water Treatment gives me the smoothest skin possible! I bring it to school whenever I remember to because the colder-than-Arctic lecture theatres dry up my skin so bad it gives me hands of a 60-year-old. ): I just need to squeeze a small drop from the tube, spread it over my hands and voilà! Hands that a 22-year-old should have! *BIG SMILE*

One thing to note though is that this product contains paraben as preservative and silicon. I definitely would not recommend it to be used on the face but I have heard of people who have done so.

This product is also unfortunately not available for sale (Because it really is meant for the Cure staff.). )': BUT BUT BUT it is given out during Cure roadshows for free!

(I'm not sure when the next roadshow will be held but the Cure fanpage does keep you in the loop of their happenings. (: What I do know is that Cure will be doing gondola displays at the end of March in 32 Watsons outlet so you may want to keep your eyes peeled them for any promotions and of course, the Cure Water Treatment. I know I will!)

P.S.: Just in case you're interested in the ingredients, here they are:

Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Dimethicone/ Peg-10/ 15Crosspolymer, Sodium Chloride, Methylparaben, Sodium Citrate, Glycosyl Trehalose, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate

UPDATES: What's up with Sunbathing Muffins?

Hey Muffins!

I just want to share 2 pieces of fabulous news with you!

First up, I won the Best StyleMyself Blogpost of the Month! Click here to read my post!





You can now see my banners *points above* on StyleMyself for a month! It's the first time Sunbathing Muffins has an advertisement so I'm really excited! Thank you Jenny, from Oasis Interactive, and StyleMyself!

The next piece of news is this...



Regina told me about this last week and as soon as I got the chance, I went down to Tampines 1's Sasa and snapped a picture! Yes, it's in Sasa! I'm not sure if other outlets have this as well but YAY!!! *jumps up and down* Haha. It really means a lot to me, even if it's just a small feature. At least, I know that my work is appreciated and knowing that's better than a massive makeup haul! XD

Anyway, I'm into the 4th week of school and the load's already the size of a mammoth so I'm back to working on Sunbathing Muffins once a week. Should you need to reach me, just drop me an email (Email address to your right!) or tweet me! :D

Lots of love,
Charlene J.
