Membaca amalan kita. (?) - VERSUS

Saya baru lepas baca buku Versus by HLOVATE. Best. Bagi sesiapa yang nak berubah demi kebaikan,rajin rajin lah baca buku ni.

Cerita Versus by HLOVATE ni mengisahkan Minn Edina atau lebih dikenali sebagai Ed'Sassin of Warth yang juga skater tetapi terpaksa meninggalkan 'deck' nya demi wasiat datuknya actually ak x brapa reti nk buat ulasan. Then Minn jumpa lah Ashraff Omar atau dikenali sebagai AO of Bronx. Merangkap mentee Minn Edina. Kisah mereka bermula mulai detik mereka bergelar mentor-mentee.

Tapi serius saya cakap. Cerita ini bagus dan berkali kali lebih bagus dari novel yang ntah apa apa di pasaran yang lebih kepada fitnah n bla bla bla. Huh. Saya suka cerita ni. Dan aku nak sesiapa yang baca blog mesti saya ni,baca buku ni. Saya tak paksa pun actually. Mesti baca. Buku ni banyak ilmunya actually.. Dan buku ini telah membuatkan saya berubah. Membuatkan saya berfikiran lebih jauh dan mengingatkan saya yang saya merupakan seorang Islam @ Muslimah yang wajib melakukan apa yang diperintahkan Allah S.W.T. Dan bukan Islam di IC semata mata

Enjoy,eh. Love u guys

HQ Hair and Nars Bloggers Event

Blogging has be stunted due to moving house and losing internet access, so this post is a little behind the times. A week or so ago I braved the cold of London to pop along to the HQ Hair and Nars bloggers event, just off Regent Street.

We were given to opportunity to have our makeup done by Nars artist David, and this I seized, asking him if he could create an interesting day look. I wear makeup everyday, it is requisite for work and has now leaked into my weekends. I almost always apply something to my face before leaving the house, if not for vanity, then simply for enjoyment of the ritual. I have a table with draws full of products, yet it is the same basic components that I use every day. A swipe of foundation, bolded eyebrows, cover under eye bags (important), a slick of eyeliner and coat of mascara. Blush and lipstick optional. This I can do in my sleep, the entire routine takes little more than 5 minutes with my practiced hand. I asked David to give me an alternative that would be subtle enough for the office.

Removing my day-old eyeliner, he began with a sweep of golden creamy eyeshadow, upon which he built a myriad of dark shimmering browns and metallic greens. Black was avoided completely, leaving definition of the eye to a smoky purple which was patted around the eye line with a hard brush. Black mascara completed the look.

The result was surprisingly enhancing, and I especially loved the contouring and blending which always makes a professionally made-up face differ from that designed by an amateur. David confessed that blending is indeed the key, and suggested when you think you have blended your eye colour enough, continue for another five minutes! It will take me a little practice, but this is a look that could rival the vintage eyeliner flick.



The result

Thanks to fellow blogger Bianca for these pictures- love this airbrushing camera setting!

Please bear with me on the blogging front. I have pictures lined up for posts but my activity is limited to wi-fi cafes at the moment!

A Christmas Gem

All the fashion houses are churning out their gifty beauty stocking fillers at the moment. I have several such pieces from previous years, every single one beautifully packaged in richly decorated cases. However, they largely remain unused due to the colour palettes being not quite right, too gaudy and bright, too glittery or simply unpractical for everyday wear.

This is where this striking Lip Jewel compact from D&G differs. Crafted to look like a glossy oversized ruby it will delight every dressing table, yet it opens to reveal four wearable shades of the brand's cream lipsticks. I have never tried D&G products, but I want to, and I love the fact that each shade is quite distinct, as opposed to several variations of shimmering rouge.

It's £40, and such a typical 'gift' that it would feel wrong to buy it for myself. Perhaps so large hints will have to be dropped around my beloveds.

Chanel- Paradoxal Nail Polish

Chanel Paradoxal. The new purple must-have that was apparently everywhere at fashion weeks worldwide. A non-attendee of fashion week for the past few seasons I am obviously missing the greatness of this shade.

Above you can see a bottle shot and the polish inside appears to glimmer and glitter in the light. In a brightly lit department store it shone with all it's tempting mystical purpleness and I was taken. Paradoxal was purchased.

Unfortunately it seems that this polish is Paradoxal by name and by nature. Once applied to the nails the bright highlights completely disappear and it dries a dull murky grey/purple. I don't really understand the technology behind this, even under direct light only a hint of shimmer can be detected. The picture below is quite accurate in it's depiction of the shade- a metallic nondescript mauve. I don't mind a dark grungy painted finger, I often welcome it! However, paying £16 for a sparkling bottle I did not expect such a paradox.

In typical Chanel fashion, its longevity is very questionable! Morning-after manicure I was chipping. Chanel shades always bewitch me but I need to learn my lesson, save the pennies and step away from the counter next time.

Ren ClearCalm 3

Posting has been delayed by a frantic flat hunt, the London property market is not fruitful for letting at the moment and it has been an emotional and unproductive journey so far. At this rate we are going to end up living in the house with no oven and a washing machine in the garden (true story)!

Anyway, last week I went to Ren event where a new skin care range was revealed. Ren ClearCalm 3 has been specially formulated for blemishes and breakouts. Presented in a fresh green colour scheme the products claim to deep cleanse and purify without harshness. The range is pictured above, unfortunately by Blackberry.


This line is said to be extremely effective treatment for problem skin, and the Anti-Blemish Treatment Mask contains ingredients which are medically prescribed for acne in the US- an indication that this really will work.

I am admittedly a 'drug-store' skincare girl. In the past I have tried fancy Dr. this or thats, Cliniques etc. only to find that they make my skin worse! However, Ren is the one higher end brand that I have found to be compatible with my sensitive skin. It smells divine, contains natural products and actually improves the condition. My face is currently dry and chapped from the icy winds of recent, but this range will be a godsend for those with sensitive problem skin, in this case it may just be worth paying that little bit more for something that will make a real difference.

Raining Skulls

My penchant for Alexander McQueen accessories has accelerated. Daily musings upon the how greatly a silk skull scarf would enhance my life have been stifled with the discovery of this beyond amazing umbrella. When I saw a colleague stride in with this grand piece in all its glory and I stopped in my tracks; a ghostly glittering skull perched on top of a slim elegant umbrella...could there be anything that I want more?

It should be carried like a walking stick, tapped along the pavement to the beat of beautiful shoes. A macabre trident that Dorian Grey or Hamlet may have brandished in the heat of a rage! If this were mine I would celebrate dark skies that I once sighed at, I would be checking BBC weather and be hoping and praying for a downpour!

The Smock Debate

I love this dress from TBA. Lavish folds of sumptuous velvet in rich emerald, all complemented by a Victoriana crisp starched collar. Heavenly! This dress is so particularly suited to my tastes that one might question why I have not already purchased it, indeed I even own boots like above and could style it harmoniously!

The reason? This is a smock. Whilst the generous hanging fabric would conceal all manner of snack induced lumps and bumps, the sad fact is that too much fabric adds pounds. The lack of definition, lack of structure on this model above, only highlights her matchstick arms and legs; it is ironic- the fabric drapes off her bones leading us to deduce that her ribs are showing underneath. With a more robust thigh however, the loose cut would pose several questions, is it hiding a pregnancy and where on earth do those hips stop?!

I love this dress but I am wary. I am wary yet I can't resist. At least ASOS have free returns.

Selamat Menyambut Syawal

Masjid Kristal

Hari ini hari Selasa
Malam selasa. Dan saya tengah bosan.(Skemanya ayat aku.)
Selamat menyambut kehadiran Ramadhan (diucapkan pada akhir bulan?)
Selamat menyambut Syawal @ Aidil Fitri.

Guess what? I still couple with Ha**ff. Okay. Gelaklah. Aku tak kisah pun. Jap lagi kau jumpa aku. Aku nak bagi back-hand. Heh.
Empat hari lagi nak raya..Haha. Kenapa aku tak rasa macam nak sambut hari raya pun? Tak seronok langsung rasa.. Macam kurang sesuatu. And this is my first raya i'm in a relationship with someone. Huhu.

Jumaat lepas.. Banyak wat dosa eh.. Alya dating dengan Zul, Nik denga Irfan. Kat terowong antara dewan dan kelas 2Ehsan. Ramai penonton. Firdaus, Abu-Hurairah-the-paparazi man, AimanFirdaus-the-stalker,  Shasha-the-one-girl-without-boyfriend-by-her-side & ramai lagi pelajar 2Ehsan.
Bez larr Alya dating punyalah lama.. Sha ni tunang dia kena duduk sebelah dia jew. Huhu..

Cincin yang aku beli. Aku 

simpan dari dulu sampai sekarang. Mahal tauw.

Lawa tak? Hehe

I love Him so MucHh!! Hehe.. Aura gatal aku dah keluar. Nak tahu siapa Him tu? Kau dah tahu, so tak perlulah aku beritahu.

Dua hari lagi raya. Nak kena sakit jantung dah dengar bunyi mercun, cikgu meriam buluh, bunga api. Nasib tak innalillah. Kejap lagi Mr.K sampai la. Hehe. Harap2 dia ada bawak balik mercun or bunga api. I wanna play.

Lusa Mak Long and her family balik. Happy. Tapi Sha rasa raya tahun ni takkan begitu seronok. I don't know why.

Esok birthday Aiman Firdaus. Kalau kau tak tahu siapa dia bagi aku, dia merupakan ex boyfriend aku. Ngerti?

Kuih raya mak dah buat, tapi aku nak beli lagi. Hehe.

Apa lagi nak cakap?

I love him so much. Too love him.

 Jiwang kerek betul Shasha nie. Do I care? not.

Selamat menyambut hari raya Aidil Adha Aidil Fitri. I love you too. Maaf Zahir & batin. Enjoy you Syawal. May Allah bless.

PS.: Law tak puasa penuh tak boleh sambut raya. Wanita dikecualikan.

Summer/Autumn- Crossover footwear

19 degrees or 26 degrees, the temperature varies daily and small variations of paper require polar opposite wardrobes. To coat or not to coat, to tight or not to tight, it is necessary to check BBC weather before dressing in the morning to avoid ending up umbrella-less in a monsoon or wrapped in woolens during a heatwave.

At least footwear is a little more versatile. Ellie bought some beautiful Opening Ceremony wedges that look great with bare legs but will also shine with thick knitted tights. A season-less investment. Tan optional.

A 'Natural Look "

After congratulating myself on my particularly 'natural' makeup the other day, and duly taking a photo to demonstrate my look, I realised that I was a victim of a classic girls' misconception. Many moons ago I read a wise book (Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging) and can remember the main character (Georgina) writing in her diary that she was creating a natural look to meet her crush (Robbie). She then reels off a list of about 15 products that it took to create this bare faced look. I laughed at this when I read it but I confess I am no better.

To create my 'natural look' I used the following:

1. Bobby Brown tinted moisturiser in Albaster
2. Dior Show mascara
3. Dior skin flash under-eye pen
4. Laura Mercier blush in wild Bouquet
5. MAC lipstick in Creme D'Nude

All those products to create a fresh, inconspicuous facade! My idea of natural makeup is clearly not so natural at all. I should be contemplating a product strike and boldly stepping out with nothing but a smear of Olay upon the cheek, yet when I look at the above picture I can't help wishing that I had thought to use my Benefit Brow Zing- my eyebrows would take a more natural hue with a little powdered colour.

I want a Castle

I want a castle, or to be more precise, a chateau. After returning from Normandy I am quite adamant that the French life is for me. Coca Lite, bargain brie, cool clouded skies, rich expresso, hyper super super markets, history within stones, red wine, horse heads over a fence, strong hayfever remedies, ghostly sunny beaches, a jammy crepe, cider with real apples, a ricola sweet, time to turn pages...


I got back to London and opened a freshly graffitied door. Silver scrawl. Not remotely inspired.

But a BT Home Hub is comforting. Normal posting will resume after the sparodic service of recent.

Neon

This is annoying, blogger has altered the colours of the above photo- this pink is actually eye-wateringly neon, so bright in fact, that when I first applied it, I was shocked and hastily removed it before it dried! This Essie colour is amazing on toes, and will add a little spark to any sandal. It has been on my feet summer-long.

Accessorising ...

Everyone loves a new accessory. My camera is now the proud owner of a personal flash, a splendid top hat if ever there were one. I love this camera but have often been exasperated at the lack of flash, a feeling magnified tenfold realising that now (4 months later) there is a new model, at the same price, with a neat built-in flash. Oh well, I managed to find the Pen flash which has been specially designed for this camera and is reasonably compact. It is annoying to cart around a separate flash in a pouch but it gives a distinctly retro look to the camera which I like. Prepare for party pics in darkly lit places!

Lip Service for Nails

Whilst browsing the KG site for sandals, I was accosted with a pop-up add for their new sunglasses collection. The glasses actually look amazing, but it was the styling of the images that caught my eye. I adore the lip/nail colour combination used. The above features a molten high shine metal gold nail- a trend I spotted in the new SATC film on Samantha (probably the only admirable thing to appear on screen during the entire movie).



White lips! The next stage up from the nuder-than-nude foundation lip I am such a fan of! Where can I get white lipstick? It looks fantastic with this blue on the nails- OPI have a shade very similar to this.


Matching nails to lips has never looked so glamorous. Glossy on both finger and mouth, this shade is really pretty for summer. The glasses are also pretty darn cool!

A Particuliere Colour

If you'd told me a year ago that I would be painting my nails brown, I would have thought you were off your rocker, but this Chanel shade has become a firm favourite. 505 'Particuliere' was released awhile back and promptly sold out, so I was delighted to see it back on the counter last week and snapped it up immediately! It is a creamier beige than it looks in the photo (no natural light or flash) and has a smooth, fawny finish. Divine.

Apologies for the lack of recent posting, I've had a busy couple of weeks but will try to resume the regularity!

Summer at (a) Shoreditch House

The tube has regained its festering stench of human sweat, red sunburnt shoulder straps accessorize every girl's attire, beers are acceptable at mid-day, and nights extend with no coats required. Summer has hit London, by all account for 3 days only, but that is sufficient time for all of the above.

Londoners go crazy for outside space, to place their bodies into the direction of sunlight; parks, gardens, balconies, roof terraces...we will queue for these things and sit sandwiched like sardines, still believing that our spirits are extra high because we're outside and its summer! Becky, Katherine and I balanced ourselves on our 'balconette' for a bottle of wine and a vodka spritzer. Perhaps a little less glam that the barbecued lobsters of Boundary and the swimming pool of Shoreditch House...perhaps a little more chance of falling off a roof, but equally as pleasant for an evening.
