The look I'll be rocking on holiday in Sicily...

When I'm looking at celeb make-up looks that I want to try out, I always try to look towards the ones that have similar colouring to me (blonde hair, blue eyes, slightly tanned skin) as then I can always be sure that what looks great on them will most probably suit me too. Don't get me wrong, I ain't saying I look like Charlize Theron! I just have same hair/eye colour.

This really flattering look below is often sported by Charlize Theron and in my opinion, she is one of the most naturally beautiful and elegant women in Hollywood. She generally goes for really lovely sun-kissed looks that enhance her natural beauty and look really chic and effortless. The look below is so gorgeous and would be perfect for a holiday look as it wouldn't take much time to do in the mornings. If you were going out at night, all you would have to do is add a bit of smudgey black or dark brown/bronze eyeliner and you could transform it into something more dramatic.


I checked into what products the make-up artist used to create this look:

• Dior Forever Extremewear Flawless Make-up
• Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer
• Dior Bronze Collagen-Activ Smooth Protection Bronzer
• Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Wild Bouquet
• MAC Satin Taupe Eyeshadow
• Sephora Brand Shimmer Pot in White
• DiorShow Unlimited Mascara in Black (I personally don't like this product so i would swap it for something like YSL Faux Cils)
• NARS lipstick in Viva Las Vegas

OOOh and I got my MAC haul today. I will get around to postings pics tomorrow. Have a good Friday and hope the sun is shining where you are!

Day 5, New Hair Bang!!!

This morning, I gathered my guts to have a hair cut for wanting a "BANG" for the longest time. After 1 hr. of massage, hair blow dry and including actual hair cut time after talking to the hair designer, Oh La La~~ there I have my perfect, desirable bang.

I am changing to my new harem pants after got home. I love this whole new look of myself and especially this pair of black patent Stella Luna heels. This heels will be good w/ me all the way to this f/w.

We are going to the airport to pick up DH later this evening.

My afternoon ODJ.
1. TOP:

• ZARA pink tank
• J Crew distressed Gold tank
• Plastic Island black long blazer
  

2. BOTTOM: United Color of Benetton steel gray harem pants
3. HEELS: Stella Luna gladiator heels
4. Accessory:

• Sonia Rykiel Sworavski crystals owl brooch made as necklace
• Zara brass disc belt
• Balenciaga Violet part time bag
• Chanel 09 s/s scarf decorated on straw hat

I would say my Chanel mini flap will make this look more dressy instead of casual chic.


A look w/ blazer on and J Crew thin golden belt originally.


I play around my limited accessory and I like the big owl as a statement necklace very much.

Day 5 In Taipei!!

Today I took kids to Elite bookstore near 101 department store. Yes, I have visited every department store near 101 building except for 101 building itself. I have to say luxury brand name items are insanely expensive in Asia and I rather shop them back in USA. Therefore, I think I will skip 101 building this time.

My children want to do some craft out of play dough in 5th floor so we spent couple hr. there. I took pic. for them while doing one w/ Ilona. I found myself also enjoy it very much too. : )

Kids have to be 4 yrs. to do the craft. But since my older daughter is almost 4, she just needs a little more help. :)


After we pick up a model that we want to make, my children are ready to start.


Niel picked the hardest one (for his age IMO) and I think it is great for training his patience.


Abigail is practicing the "smile" mouth before drawing on the dough. She picked a cartoon character, "Cinnebon"!!


I am surprised that Niel actually did all the details by himself. He picked a birthday cake.


Ilona is too young to do it by herself so I helped. I picked Hello Kitty for us.


Oh la la~~ They are all adorable.
