Best OOTD September Week Three PART ONE!

Good evening!

P.S: If you like this blog, don't forget to follow me and spread the words to your friends :) Thanks! 

I thought i shall post the first half of the best OOTD of this third week of the month :) 

First off, I started with my favorite blouse of the month: dark blue vintage-inspired with cute collar. Then I matched this blouse with simple pair of black shorts. It's just too hot to go for denim jeans out here >.< Also I accessorized it with this new heart pendant from Stradivarius so it's less plain and simple hehe 

Top and Bottom: CPS (Chaps)

Necklace: Stradivarius

Next day I went more for something more comfortable and casual again. Because my white shirt and a high waist pant look too plain, I matched it with colorful scarf. I also tied up really high my hair half way for a clean look and so was my eye makeup :) 

White shirt: H&M 

High waist pant: Lyn Around

Scarf: Zara

Finally today I wanted to go back to my usual gyaru-inspired. I thought this was another simple outfit since i'm wearing this white plain t-shirt to match my favorite green polka dot :) A nice gold necklace can be perfect for the entire outfit. Also, i finally got to buy my curling iron with a nice discount!! So I get to curled my hair nicely like those models from PopSister XD I felt so happy and very girly :)) Plus I get to wear those very nice Dolly Wink top and lower lashes as well. So lovely to wear! ^^ 

Polka dots skirt: CPS 

Necklace & white-shirt: I didn't buy them, I got them from friends and family :) sorry I don't know where they bought them :(

A customer at the M.A.C counter complimented my lip color today. She really liked it so I showed her the lipstick and lipgloss I used for today. So I shall share with you gals too. 

Lipstick: Natural Collection (can be found at Boots) Moisture Shine in Pink Mallow

Lipgloss: M.A.C Cremesheen Glass in Fashion Whim (limited edition), an ALTERNATIVE is: Drive Thru (it's the closest color of the limited one)

I just want to end this post with these nice ALDO shoes!!! They are just gorgeouss!! But the heels are a bit annoying. It's a bit difficult to walk hhahahahaha but worth it!! Just a nice purchase today ^^b

I will post my second half of Best OOTD of this week by the end of the week or next week :)

I hope you enjoy it! 

By the way a friend asked my hair color reference. So I guess I'm going to share it with everyone else :) 

This is the box snapshot I took just before I dyed my hair. 

Reference: L'Oreal Clear Macaron no.72

This is the result after I dyed it. I'm thinking of dying it again so I get it more lighter. 

FYI: the more you dye of the same color the lighter it will get. HOWEVER, please dye after 6 month or your hair will get very dry and damaged :(

I would like to end this entry with another giveaway hosted by my favorite lovely Eki chan :) Her interests and mine are just almost similar. I love reading her blog and read her reviews on my favorite Japanese brand products :) So I shall share it because I care <3

Alright everyone, until next time,

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Best OOTD September Week Two!

Hello again!

A double post once more!! Aaaah- you guys are  so lucky XD

Here are collages of my BEST OOTD including best hair & makeup of the week!

OOTD#1:

These two items were most recently purchased at CPS or Chaps. FYI: It's a Thai brand. I'm in LOVE with this long vintage in green with polka dots! and that blue blouse is just cute :))

OOTD#2:

Next day, I went for more casual and loose. Thank gosh I wore that because I walked outdoor all day longgg! >.<

OOTD#3:

Yesterday, I didn't like what I wore so I didn't photograph it. But I LOVED my hair and make up inspirations! Hair inspiration from PopSister magazine and eye makeup from Michelle Phan most famous double winged eyeliner :)

Below are examples of what I mean by double winged eyeliner by Michelle Phan. Thank you Michelle! :)

These snapshots are from her 4 eyeliners styles video tutorial on her channel. 

Feel free to check her channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/MichellePhan?blend=1&ob=5

OOTD#4:

Lastly, today! For such an early visit to the dentist, I went back to my favorite high-waist floral skirt with cute ruffles on each side. Then incorporated with simple black tank top and my newest H&M white shirt :))

As for my hair and makeup, I went for simple and innocent but still cute and pretty. Because my hair were already curled up, I wanted to tie it up neatly as a ponytail. My eye makeup is usually heavy with brown colors, but today, I wanted this innocent and cute pink color :) 

Nail Art of the Month! I like to go back and browse old magazine to look for inspirations when I don't know how to start the day. This snapshot is from the Popteen May 2010 issue. And because my thumb nail broke, so I had to go to the nail salon right away and this is the outcome :)

Believe it or not, I spent 3 hours there without eating TT^TT

Alright, this is it! I hope you guys enjoyed reading! 

Take care until next time :)

BEST OOTD September Week One!

As I have 3 days off a week, I take this chance to dress up as stylish, in trend, colorful and girly as possible :) When Monday comes back, I always miss my wardrobe full of pretty clothes waiting for me to use them when Friday comes :] 

Well, I have to say that I would already start looking through at my wardrobe since Thursday because my professor doesn't really mind us to wear casual to class XD 

My classmates always ask me why I dress up so nice to even come to uni. You want to know why? I had this quote in mind ( now i don't remember the exact words ) but basically, you should think that every time you step out of your house, you should dress up as pretty as you can to get ready for the unexpected! 

Trust me, if someday in your life, you're that lazy person, wearing that PJ pant with a huge cartoon face t-shirt to go to the nearby supermarket and this hot tall guy is there "single" LOL I think you would have wished that you would have dressed up better than that, right? XD 

Ok, on a serious scenario, running into your "future" boss?? XD -one of the most embarrassing moment- 

Here are OOTD on first week of this month: 

OOTD#1:

Below is when i was inspired by vintage colors and style. I also find an excuse to wear my favorite green polka dots skirt. I have to agree with Chriselle (Blog: http://chriselleinc.com/blog/) that a white shirt is one of the essential items to have in your closet. Also, I love wearing rings here and there but notice that my most favorite ring style is roses :)

OOTD#2:

I like to go extreme, "out of my comfort zone" to express my true self in public. But there are times I feel that Thailand society judge you very quickly and wrongly. Once they see something very unusual, they will call you "weird" or "crazy" or "insane". They don't know that fashionista just love to dress up and be in trend. So what i'm saying here is that: there will be a few times, I would wear something "safe" and minimalist. 

OOTD#3:

My love for floral patterns never ends. I love when Spring and Summer come so I can wear floral patterns almost everyday. Yes, I can do that in Thailand all year round but it isn't fun if you don't follow the season elsewhere right? lol 

Also, I try to have a "No Makeup Day" at least once a week and most of the time that would be on Sundays. 

OOTD#4:

Lastly, I wore this cute floral green vintage-inspired dress on one of my class day. I have to say that the length of this dress is a bit "too" short but I still love it! The material of this dress is just soft and flowy :D To complete this look for a more girly look is those adorable creamy floral pair of socks <3

NOTICE: I wear a lot of GREEN lately :D

I also changed the nail color of my nails. I matched it according to those nail art :)
I didn't realize how long my nails were until I removed the nail polish /o/

Believe it or not, I played Thai boxing with these long nails TT^TT
Eventually, I broke my thumb one so I had to go to nail salon right away !!

I will be posting this week OOTD very shortly! Don't forget to stop by again for more inspiration :)

Love,
Rosie

☆*August favorite products*☆ PART TWO!

The second part of my August favorites will cover the best makeup and hair care products.

MAKEUP FAVORITES OF THE MONTH

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 Sunscreen in Light

In comparison with the BB cream from SKIN79, this product is much better in terms of coverage, texture and anti-acne prone. I also heard in the past that tinted moisturizer is frequently recommended by experts because the texture of it is much lighter and there is a large range of shades to suit any skin color. The most recognized tinted moisturizer I heard was from Laura Mercier. It seems to be the all-times best seller in terms of best tinted moisturizer along the base makeup. I tested on my hand the Laura Mercier product few month ago but I never dared to buy it because I used to dislike using any foundation because of acne problems.

To point out about this product is that I haven't got a lot of pimples since I've been using it for a month now. So I'm grateful and enjoying this product a lot.

Although this product also contains sunscreen, the texture does not feel thick or heavy on my face. There is no "cakey" feeling compared to the SKIN79 BB cream in pink. Also, oil-control all day long is really effective.

Product rating: 9/10

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Warm Ivory with Pale Yellow Sheer Finish Loose Powder

FIY: the main reason I'm using this product is because my sister doesn't use it and it's not right color. So I have to use for the sake of money lol

Besides, this concealer is great because it also provided a tiny powder underneath the concealer to set it afterwards. I love this product because it really does conceal my dark circles well. Sometimes, I also use it to conceal some blemishes and acne but I tend to not try doing that because it can cause more inflammation to my acne.

It very convenient and portable, so I guess that's why there is powder provided...why not give a tiny brush applicator too? lol

Unfortunately, I don't think this type of packaging for concealer is available at any Bobbi Brown counter anymore. They are promoting strongly on that new duo creamy concealer kit. Also, another downside about Bobbi Brown's makeup products, they can be a bit too pricey but I guess worth it? This is just my thoughts.

Product rating: 8.5/10

Maybe this color is just too bright for my skin tone :/

Melliesh Blush in Pink 01

I may have reviewed or rated as my favorites before but IT IS a good blush! It's definitely a "dolly-like" blush!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE... XD nothing else I can say.

It has a bit of glitter in it but it doesn't really bother me much. It's very pink though if you aren't too careful when applying it.

Looking where to buy it? I can suggest a couple website for you guys :)

Sasa.com

Pinkyparadise.com

Product rating: 9/10

A bit hard to rate a blush for me XD

Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheeks in Pink 301

Again this another favorite product I already mentioned before. I just love Japanese blushes XD I guess they suit more for Asian? I have to say that this color is more orange than pink (on the label it says "pink"). This blush can be found at any Watson stores in Thailand. The price is reasonable too :)

I like to mix orange and pink color as it goes well with my skin tone. Sometimes I like to use them for natural look or dolly-like look. It's just fun to mix color together :)

Unlike the previous blush, this doesn't have glitter. It's more a matte finish.

Product rating: 8.5/10

HAIR CARE FAVORITE OF THE MONTH

Essential Damage-Care Rich Premier with Shea Butter

Please note that this product is the conditioner one and not the hair mask. The hair mask contains an additional ingredient: honey.

This particular hair conditioner has been acknowledged by several makeup and beauty gurus already, including Eki chan, Xiaxue, Bubzbeauty, Suzi of StyleSuzi and Jen of fromheadtotoe. And now myself have to personally say that i love it too :)

It definitely nourishes starting from the root of hair to give and maintain a healthy glow, smooth and radiance to your hair. In comparison to the pink line, this orange line's products are much more richer. It's great and more recommended for those who have dyed, permed or damaged hair. I also love the smell of this product :)

What really made me fall in love with this product more ? Thanks to Jen's new hair care routine video on her YT channel, my hair has gone from very dry to smooth, manageable and healthier hair! Jen said that she likes to cover up her hair, after applying the conditioner, with a shower cap for deeper-conditioning. Well, I tried that a few times and it REALLY work!!! Thanks Jen!! :D So now, I have to HAVE this little orange friend in my shower!! XD

Product rating: 9/10

L'Oreal Nutri-Gloss Light Shine Conditioner

This is another favorite conditioner I have in my shower. Yes! Believe it or not, I have 2 conditioners, 1 hair mask and a shampoo in my bathroom XD I just like to switch around from time to time. Not too often, obviously ^^

What's good about this product?

Definitely gives shine to my hair! And my hair feels much LIGHTER after each use compared to the Essential Rich Premier one! I LOVE the smell too!! :) And it really helps manage and smooth my hair. Good, good! d( ^ ^o)

Product rating: 9/10

Skin Mates Fruit Bio Treatment with Bergamot and Peach

Anyone knows what's a bergamot? I'm guessing it's a fruit? The smell is just wonderful!!! This is a great hair mask!

Skin Mates is, I think, a Thai brand. This product was introduced to me by a friend of mine and I think her parents are the owner of the company. This is my second time I purchased this hair mask from her. It's very affordable as well => 120 baht.

Before I used the two hair conditioners I mentioned above, I used this hair mask every week. This product really helped my hair in a healthy way. It has a similar purpose as the Essential Rich Premier one which is the deep conditioning.

Product rating: 8/10

FIY: I added the shower cap next to it just because it has a good purpose for this deep-conditioning treatment LOL

OK!......

This is FINALLY the end of my August favorite of the month! I hope you enjoy reading it ^^

Feel free to comment in the section below for any suggestions on improvement of my blog or anything you want :)

Take care!!

Love,

Rosie

☆*August favorite products*☆ PART ONE!

I finally picked my favorite products of the month! I categorized them into skincare, makeup and hair care for you dollz :) But I think I will divide my posts into 2-3 parts as I give a lot of details XD sorry....!

These three products were mainly picked for this month because they showed great results in acne and oil control of my skin.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cleanser

I've been using this cleanser all summer. This product was recommended by my best friend and i'm very grateful for the advice but the price in HK is just too overrated.... I can get way cheaper in Thailand!!

What's good about this product?

• It contains a great formula of Essential Soy and Vitamin C
• It reaches deeps into skin pores to remove dirt, dead cells and oil without drying your skin
• It brightens and improve your skin
• Suit for all skin types including sensitive and acne prone types

My thoughts?

It does the job that what the description says above. There is a trick in this process that I've been doing all summer long, several additional steps I do before I use this product and there is an extra ingredient I mix it up with. But before I get into the trick, this cleanser has definitely brightened up my skin and improve the clarity of it. Also, it helped control and get rid of dirt into my pores so I have less pimples. I would definitely recommend to those who have similar skin types as me: extra-sensitive, acne prone, combination to oily skin type.

My Trick Skin Care Routine?

To be honest, even though I've been doing this routine all summer, my skin isn't perfect. I still have acne popping here and there but at least it's becoming controllable compared to months ago.

I basically use the best makeup remover by Shu Uemuera. I use the green one because it has this gentle feeling on my skin and removes my makeup really well. This is a preference but everybody has different skin type so you need to find out which color suit you best. I would massage it for about 60 seconds. Next, I wash the remover off with water and use my Dermalogica gel cleanser to make sure that my remover got rid off all my makeup. Then finally, I finish off with this Neutrogena cleanser and add a little bit of fresh eatable oatmeal in your palm. After 10 sec under water, the oatmeal is supposed to be wet and softer so you can gently massage it on your face and I end up doing a homemade yogurt mask every. single. night....and voila!

I know this is a lot to do on my poor face but after doing this for a few month now, I'm happy and satisfied. Up until today, my skin isn't dry anymore and less blemishes too.

These tricks are taken by this famous makeup and beauty guru on youtube, Bubzbeauty, if some of you don't know her. You should definitely check out her channel on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/bubzbeauty and her website: http://www.bubzbeauty.com

Thanks to her, I'm no more ashamed of my face!!! XD

Overall:

8.5/ 10

The reason is because I'm a bit scared that this cleanser might still be too rough for my skin. So I think i have to find an alternative to switch around. But if i can't find then I will continue with this one until I find a new one.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Micro Serum

I've been using this product for a month or so and it's been a great serum compared to my other ones. This serum texture is white and a bit thicker than any serums I know of. But the great thing about this one is that it deeply hydrates my skin very well!

I would give this product: 8.5/10

Kiehl's Blue Herbal Moisturizer

I used this moisturizer the same time as the serum one. These two products are a great deep hydration and acne-prone combo. This product is great for those looking to prevent acne.

What's good about this product?

• oil-free moisturizer
• Absorb quickly and penetrates pores to eliminate most acne blemishes and allows skin to heal
• an additional balancing effect allows the formula to mattify skin, reducing the appearance of pores and leaving skin with a matte, hydrated appearance and texture
• non-comedogenic formulation helps prevent new acne blemishes from forming

My thoughts?

I LOVE IT! This is one of my favorite moisturizer ever !! Plus, it gives a fresh, minty feeling after application. It's just a nice feeling and rewarding after all the procedures I do every night XD It definitely does help control my acne from forming again but to be honest, I still have acne...just less than before :)) My face is also not dry anymore. It just looks healthier and brightened up! :D

This product will be rated 8.5/10!

These skin care products are just great and will be my BEST FRIEND for many years coming up :)

Now to end my post, I would like to share new stuff I just bought yesterday :) So vintage-inspired right?? XD Well I think I'm that kind of "gyaru" I'm sooooo in LOVE with that green polka dots skirt. And these two cute bows will be my friends. Great cutie accessories :)

Finally!!! I'm entering this giveaway by one of my favorite Japanese blogger, Eki chan! She's such a cute, adorable and sweet blog ever! And I just had to share with you guys because she does a lot of giveaways. Plus I heard from many makeup gurus that the Sigma brushes are one of the best makeup brushes !

Here is the link to eki chan's blog with the giveaway details: http://www.ekiblog.com/2011/08/visit-to-sigma-beauty-giveaway.html

This is finally the end of this entry! Phew!!!

I will continue my favorites tomorrow! XD
