Beauty is Only Skin Deep

 
There is a thin line between being confident and being over confident. I draw the line at being a domineering b*tch.

What is it with people who put on a fake accent and face full of make-up and they think they are better than the rest of us?! I can’t bear people who think they are a level above me just by slapping on war paint on their faces.

I call that insecurity and not “confidence”.

You don’t need make-up to be confident, you don’t need to be stick thin to look beautiful, you don’t need a wallet full of cash for self worth and certainly you don’t need to be an overbearing b*tch with imaginary stories about the high-end, jet-setting life to make you a class above anybody.

And you don’t need to be telling people what to do and how to do it and definitely not to follow your foot step for a successful and “confident” self image when all you have is insecurities.

You would think that maturity comes with age and with age comes the appreciation of your true self image and self worth. But no, i guess it doesn’t comes with age. Not for everybody anyways.

Putting on make-up boost our confidence but that’s all it does, just a small boost to make us feel like the gorgeous lady that we already are. But using make-up as a mask for insecurities is just pathetic. It’s a joke when you can’t walk out of the house without a cake of make-up on your face and it certainly makes me laugh when make-up makes someone drastically switch personalities. It’s like a on/off button.

So, don’t go preaching to people how to gain confidence when you have none.

Do not go telling people they are fat when all you do in your life is obsessed on being stick thin and not even enjoying the food you put in your mouth. Do not be a b*tch when all you have in your dictionary is the word insecurities.

Start preaching when you can actually feel beautiful without being artificial, when you are actually content with your life and when you feel there is not a need to explain you self confidence. That’s when i believe you.

Bugger off.

Fake Bangs, DIY Curls and Stupid Beautician

 
I rarely blog about cosmetics and beauty stuffs. That’s because i’m a lazy bum and i prefer spending a few more extra minutes in the morning, in bed. I suspect i’m a guy in my previous life. Well, Mr. Bf agrees with me… not about me being a lazy arse but about me being a guy…that’s saying a lot about his sexual preference haha. I’m joking honey.

Ok, i admit it’s like only once a month, a week during PMS that i’m super vain and would pester Mr.Bf about my weight, my hair, my skin. Then i’ll go on a crazy shopping spree coz i need some more dresses or skirts and other girly things that i’ll probably wear only twice before deciding that it’s too feminine for me.

Youtube and search for DIY beauty stuff too. Like these.
 


 

*goes into bimbo mode*

The bangs are amazing ain’t it?! It’s hot!

And the curls is like brazziliant! Like i wish my hair would grow longer… like right now coz it’s not long enough to curl! I mean like… bummer!

*goes off bimbo mode*
 


 

Like wtf.

And i’ll drive him crazy complaining about how my hair looks and how i need to get it straightened/curled/dyed, that i need a new look. Girls, don’t be shocked but that’s the only time of the month that i actually buff and polish my nails feverishly like a psychopath.

Other days i’m just plain lazy.

But recently i’m pretty obsessed with my face. Everytime i look into the mirror i see a new spot! I’m getting old wtf. And that stupid beautician in Hartamas made my acne worst. Stupid unprofessional b*atch. FFK queen, late for appointments, do your facial session but at the same time chit chatting on the phone and made my acne worst – now i have really bad scars! Those interested to know the name of the beauty parlor let me know. I will email to you. Don’t go there. I hope she goes bankrupt!

I’m not ever gonna trust that friend of mine. Thanks for recommending the worst place for facial wtf.

Fortunately another friend recommended a new place for my facial and i’m almost cured except for the scars. Now i’m using Dermalite products.

This is before i used Dermalite. Ok, not really coz it was 3x worst then this by the time i quit the previous salon.
 

acne-before
Before
 

And this is after 2 session of facial at the new place within 2 months using Dermalite products. Taaa daaa!
 

acne-after
After
 

The last facial i went to, Angela recommended something like an Oxygen mask. It was like pouring acid on to my face. I cried the whole 10mins the mask was on my face! Excruciatingly painful but it worked wonders :). Oi leng ng oi meng wtf.

Next step is to zap away the scars. Hopefully soon before Mr. Bf goes insane. Wtf. I’m not having PMS, i’m just having a quarter-life crisis.

Inspirational Wall

 
Remember my visit to the gynae last month? Well, it was a disaster lor which i’m going to talk about next time. I’m going for a second opinion tomorrow. This time i’ve scheduled an appointment with a super busy obgyn, so busy that the waiting list is so darn long i had to wait almost a month to see him!

Keeping my fingers crossed…

Hey, come look at my bedroom wall. I’ve decorated it with articles, pictures and wordings that inspires me. Why? Because lately i’ve been super mou liu and lacking in self-motivation *wakaka!

Shut up. I know it’s looks very high-school and very lame. Cannot be lame meh?!

When i’m super slim and glowing with gorgeous skin, see who is the last one laughing lar >_<.

Right now i’m on my clear skin mission. (See the word “clear skin mission” on the wall? ) Getting my acne cleared with a new facial centre and new products which cost a bomb. Wtf. I think soon i’ll have to survive on dog food. Double wtf.

I’ll try to get the before and after photos when i look like a Korean startlet *muahaha!

I really should have stop using Cellnique products before my skin got worst like now. Wtf.

If you haven’t notice, i’ve overlapped the article with a smiley face on the “Cool and Confident Chick” article. The girl damn aunty ok. I only wanted the article but it look damn cacat if i cut off the picture of the aunty. So i sticked the smiley face on top instead. :)

Right now, i’m preparing to get some shut eye. But not before i tilt my head up to see the smiley face and giggle like a mad hatter. (What?! I think it’s funny cannot meh??).

Lan Ji Er or L’eGere

 
Quarter life crisis… i think is over. Now it’s almost mid life crisis :(

When one is getting oldER, one tends to be more concerned on looks and appearance more than anything.

You know what, i came across a pic in Mr. Bf’s mobile taken about 2 years ago.
 

younger me
Me with longer hair… i miss my long hair so muchie…
 

Back then i thought i look like shit (face so long, hair too long and so flat, nose so big, eyes so small, fat, fat, fat, etc, etc…), now i am like “Fark, what happened to me? I look so damn cun back then. And so thin too… I need to look like that again!!”. Yeah, rolls your eyes, make faces and go “Woman…”, whatever.

Where have all the years gone???

It suddenly hit me how scared i was of getting old and wrinkly. I’m in my 20s for gods sake but i’m like subconsciously preparing for it. I find myself subconsciously checking out mirror more often, my shopping urges are becoming stronger, i exercise voluntarily, now i’m checking out make up products more than ever especially skin cares and stuff like that. I’m beginning to hate college students. Yeah i hate them for being young -_-”.

A tip for you gals. You know you are about to hit mid life crisis when you are willing to buy products by the err… unflattering name “Lan Ji Er”. *wakaka!

(No lar this not advertorial ok!)
 

l'egere
L’egere BB Cream
 

Nah, it’s not a feminine wash or what. It’s actually the brand L’egere translated in Chinese. I swear i’m not making it up. It’s really called “Lan Ji Er”. Mr. Bf had a laughing fit translating it for me -_-”.

Anyways back to my point, you know you are getting old when you start scouring the net for products that will make you less old mature. And BB Cream (Blemish Balm) is all the rage right now. Read about this brand from Beverly’s Secret so i thought i’ll give it a try and ordered it from lynet.
 

before after
BB Cream miracle
 

I put some on my left cheeks. To show how it works i circled an obvious pimple that almost disappeared under the cream. It doesn’t covers everthing on you face (especially like mine with damn lotsa post acne redness) but it’s good enough as a concealer. Plus it’s suppose to do good for blemish skin that’s why it’s called a blemish balm lar.

I find this brand a little sticky or maybe it’s just my skin being oily or something. Anyone knows what other brand of BB Cream is good? Share with me coz I need to stock up for old age ler…
