Two months ago, If you had asked me which website I would go to shop for clothes, I probably couldn't give you a specific answer. There are so many factors that we have to take into considerations before we decide to buy anything, especially on a budge. well, I mean me. I like to do research before I do everything :) I like minimal style, and to be practical, I would like the clothes I purchased can be at least match 3 outfits in my closet. But now I can tell you the most frequent online shopping site I go to is Abercrombie Fitch. What?! Yes, Abercrombie returns. Fitch returns with new look, new pricing, and new size.
Sure, there are so many cute trendy high fashion online store that sell clothes for cheap. But I had a sweater dress split into half second time I wore it.
In case you don't know about this brand, let me fill you in with some history. A&F is one of the american brand with a long history and is also one of the american most hated brand. This used to be the cool brand got sued so many times for its "look policy". It means that they have a good looking policy to their employees, trying to represent this image like " we only sell clothes to beautiful people". when they say beautiful, i think they mean skinny. Here is my real experience. About 10 years ago, I went to their store to buy a pair of jean shorts. The light in the whole shop is dim, and there are shirtless men walking around (models). So I picked a size 26 trying to get out of there as soon as possible. The cashier looked at the size and looked at me with the look like 26? you shouldn't shop here. So I spent $70 just to buy a pair of jean shorts and was marked as FAT. That is my first time and my last time to walk in the a&f store. Two month ago, one of my friends in china asked me if there are some sales going on for abercrombie. I was like "are you living in the past or are you living in the future? I thought they were closed a long time ago. The truth is : neither. I was living in the past. The look:effortless looking, oversized laid back feeling, good cut and fit. So I went online and checked their website. Wow, this is the second time I thought I was hallucinating. If you know what they used to look like, you would understand the feeling. I feel in love with the clean and minimal design and those pale skin models' effortless looks. lavender cashmere sweater, retro plaid shirt, turtle neck top, velvet top. They almost include all the trendy stuffs in 2018. nowadays, logos and brands seem to be less important while keeping in touch with trends are essential. moose logo is not everywhere anymore, hoodies are getting less and less. instead, i see trendy, high quality pieces. Quality: supreme material. soft, light and comfy. Now, lets talk about the quality. Just by looking at the details of the model pictures and the ingredient, their quality is supreme. And of course I always check online store reviews. almost all of their products get at least 4.5 star. Now, I am at ease. I especially love their jeans. If you are like me, like comfy stretchy skinny jeans, like topshop style, i recommend take a look at their jeans. high waist ed, low waist ed, those jeans are fitting and feels like second skin. Price: so much cheaper than before and compared to other brands with similar quality and look. When I told my friends, she was shocked and so did I. So of course the best way to know is to buy right? Those are what I got. I am beyond being satisfied. Here are some outfits I bought:) Then why not many people noticed this. We all know that now social media is everything. The retails that are winning loyalties are those who utilize social media successfully. Free people for example , successfully use Instagram to expand their business. Abercrombie? I don't see advertisement anywhere, they definitely don't have affiliate program. Trust me,I only speak truly from my heart. So next time, when you think about going online shopping, maybe take a look at their site, maybe you will find something that can be both trendy and high quality.
Want a simple natural and glowing look that you can wear daily? tired of getting up early just to do makeup? Natural look makeup doestn have to be time consuming. And doesn’t have to look the same
e Makeup is like art, you have full control over however you want to look like. That is way I like to do creative makeup that I can also wear daily. I like to do everything in the most efficient way. So here is my 5 minute natural glam makeup beauty hacks! No brushes needed!
1. RULE 1. NO POWDER. Base is the most important thing when it comes to natural look makeup. You want to fool people you just wake up from 12 hours beauty sleep. So thin base with good coverage. But powder destroyed everything. So first I use this etude house face blur primer. Only a little bit of this products can instantly refine your skin. The cream texture is smooth minimize pores and brighten complexion. For foundation, I like to use Korean air cushion foundation. Only one layer can cover basically everything. Some people complain the color is too light , so here is my secrets. I used it as a highlighter. Only apply to the area that i want to highlight. 2. RULE 2. Use Eye shadow stick. For eye primer? Here is my another secret weapon. Recently I bought this london butter serum shadow. This unique fluid serum containing high performance pigments transforms into a light powder providing a crease-free natural wash of color. You can either use it as a eye primer or a shadow itself. It’s a perfect no makeup makeup products. It got really good reviews. The color I used is mauve ombre. Eye shadow stick is one of my favorites when it comes to applying eye shadow. This julep eye shadow stick is highly pigmented. Long lasting and no crease. It is perfect on the go. No brushes needed. Compared to Terry eyeshadow stick, I prefer this one. The texture is creamy and silky. And the shimmery color is just too pretty. 3. Rule 3. Choose warm colored blush. I used blush dough. The holika holika blush dough is awesome. The air cushion size is specifically made for blush size. It is easy to apply and keep your face hydrated. I really love korean cosmetics. They are cheap and super easy to use. Last but not least, my pop of color. Natural makeup is nice,but I want something to reflect my mood today. Today? I feel pink makeup is not just about looking good its about feeling good, right? So I added this hot pink on the outer coer of my eyes. Remember I mentioned no powder? I used my lipstick. I love this lipstick color. So I decide to use it as part of my eye shadow. You can also check out my youtube tutorial I actually kept the pink tie sleeve cashmere sweater. Even though I will never buy this kind of style for myself. But it is cute, right? Part of the reasons that we want other people pick outfit for us is to try different ideas and maybe develop a new style. As far as the cardigan, it is warm to put on. But I can't imagine have that burgundy color to cover most of my body. I love burgundy color. Most of my bags are burgundy color. But it is very dangerous to use a lot on your body especially for asians. And the actual cardigan doesn't have pockets like the image, no cutting on the side. It is a very dark red long cardigan. When I first looked at the shoes, i didn't realize it is start Weizmann. Patent shoes always look cheap to me. Also, can I wear this in winter? how many outfit I have to match this pair of shoes. I am very practical. I will go through all of this thinking process before I buy anything. So I said sorry and went to the same store with him and picked up some outfit myself. Those are what I picked. A burgundy leather jacket, Stuart Weizmann suede tassel loafers, and a grey cashmere tie bell sleeve sweater. All three pieces have sort of neutral color, so it is easy to match most of my outfit. The pink cashmere tie sleeve sweater is cute, but it is just not practical. My arms are freezing. It feels like I didn't wear anything at all.
I know there is always different opinions about fashion and style, especially when it comes to 2 different genders, and 2 different culture. I forgot to mention that he is Caucasian, I am Asian. well, at least he choose the right size. Let me know if you have ran into same problems like these. Tired of wearing contacts every day? Luckily, we live in a world that there are so many cute and chic glasses available. Applying makeup that compliments the glasses can make you look even better. I recently got this cutie from firmoo. They have so many chic glasses at affordable prices. Makeup for glasses can be totally different than makeup without it.Are u ready to make your eyes look awesome behind the glasses? Here are my top tips.
First, applying foundation. I used Giorgio Armani liquid foundation to set the base. You want to make sure your face is brighten up since glasses draw lots of attention Then Apply concealer under your eyes. glasses magnify the dark circles and make them more obvious. Lightly dab it into the area under your eyes using a brush or your ring finger. When applying eyeshadow, my rule is try to make it match the frame color of the glasses. And avoid vibrant eyeshadow colors. Since my glasses frame is pretty thick and bold, I make my eyeliner thicker too. It can help make my eyes look more profound. Make the line thicker as you get towards the outer corner of your eye. I used the shimmery light grey color for my lower waterline. It not only matches my glasses colors, also make the eyes bigger
I love to play with colors. They have so many potentials and such an interesting subject. My major in college is technical communication, which means I write instruction such as : how to install TV. Graphic design is also part of my major. My previous jobs are all about graphic design. I realized that the thing that interests me the most is color matching. From outfit styling, to makeup, they are all closely related to color choices.
As far as guideline? I wish I could summarize everything in one article but I can't. Especially, there is no strict guideline. each individual is unique. Same as how to choose your personal style, you have to know yourself first when it comes to choosing makeup colors. But there is one rule that I can tell you, which is COORDINATION. Having a balanced look will make you look elegant no matter what color you use. So when it comes to choosing the right colors, you really need to take consideration of the occasions you are going to attend, your underskin tone color, your eye color, eye shape, lip shape and face shape. 1. When choosing eye shadow colors, try to choose the complimentary color of your eyes (contrasting colors). It will help your eyes pop. For example, if you have blue eyes, burgundy,orange, gold eye shadows will make your eyes really pop. However if you have dark brown eyes, go for deep colors that will highlight your eyes, such as deep brown, deep plum or navy blue. Your should avoid pastel colors such as light pink. They will make you look washed out. You should also try eyeshadows that contain metallics, like gold, silver, copper, or bronze, to add some light to your dark eyes you also have to take your eye shape into consideration. if your eyes are already popped, try to avoid applying metallic eyeshadow in huge area. 2. When choosing lipstick colors, you really have to know your underskin tone first. It is easy. Pull your sleeve up, look at your vein under the sunlight. If the veins on your wrist appear blue, you are cool toned. If the veins on your wrist appear yellow, green, you are warm toned. If your veins appear blue and green, you are neutral toned, so you can wear both cool and warm tones. Here is a color wheel.
From runway to Tv ads, we all know that purple is the trendy color next year. I personally love purple, but as far as wearing it, i am not quite sure. i am warm undertone color, and skin color is medium, i know that violet color especially blue violet will not work on me. maybe a bag but thats it. For makeups, I would like to try mauve pinks or maybe mauves and add some warm brown into it.
i know that the best way to find out which color works best for me is not reading 10 books about colors, its about trying it out myself. It is the same as finding your personal style. You can't just find it within a day. it takes time to learn, to try. The more you see, the more you think, the more you will learn. No one can tell you what fits you best but yourself. because at the end of the day, if you are happy and confident, you are the most beautiful woman. The new 14k Gold chain necklace I bought one week ago broke... I was told that I will have to take it to the nearest store to have it fixed for extra $40. $40 ?? NO. I am a sucker for handcrafting. Not to mention soldering. So I came up with 2 super easy way to fix it under one minute. you can also watch my youtube for that.

Having been using double eyelids glue, I consider myself as a glue expert. I prefer glue rather than tape. I think part of the reason is that I started using glue since middle school. At that time, we are not allowed to have makeups on when going to school. Tape is so easy to tell without eye shadow. So I went for the glue. I have tried so many different brands, and the one I like most is called eye talk. It is made specifically for asian double eyelids.
