My Ember Month Collection...

Hi guys, been a while I posted pictures of my beads here. I've been sooooo mega swamped with work that looking at myself in the mirror has become a task instead of a normality.

Anyway, made loads of beads in the past few months and I didn't even have the time to take pictures of some of them but I still have a few I can share.

My August/September Bead Collection

Hi People, I hardly upload pictures of beads ans accessories I made in a blog post. Instead, I always just upload them the gallery attached to my blog. Lots of people have been harassing me to put up pictures of some of my collection in a post so I'm doing so now but instead of putting the whole lot, will just upload my August and September collection.

                                                 4 Tier Orange ball beads with Gold Embellishment 

Skin Care Routine For Men....

Guys lets face it: If you care about how you look, if you want to make a good impression, your skin is the first place to start....

I'm sure lots of guys are wondering why anyone will be writing about beauty routines for Men. Well, it won't kill you to spend a little extra time caring for your skin, neither will it hurt your masculinity.

Traditionally, men spend less time caring for their skin like women do but spend more time damaging it through outdoor sports and other outdoor activities. As we all know, you men spend more time outdoors and this exposes your skin to environmental pollutants, causing poor skin health.

Casual Friday Makeover

Hi Makeup lovers, been a few days since you last saw me here ;)

I did my "almost regular" casual Friday makeover for a colleague (shh!!! My boss must not hear) and decided to share with you guys.

You won't believe what I used to achieve this "pretty girl" look.... Eye liners!  Oh yes, just different shades of  'not so expensive' eye liners. Though I used  pink gloss right after the lip pencil just to give her lips some shine.

How To Apply Red Lipstick To Fit Your Skin Tone, Lips & Skin Colour

Hi guys, been a while. I always don't like to say this but it's been my regular line for a while now. I'm so sorry I haven't been writing as much as I used to but I'll try to be more regular.

Red Lipstick............ That's one lip colour I wear often or....all the time, except once in a blue moon when I have my bubble gum pink on *covers face*
I've had lots of friends ask me why I only wear this one shade of lipstick. The funny thing is, I actually have over 50 shades of lipstick but I really don't mind wearing red.

Ook! Back to the topic... Red lipsticks are one lip product that have refused to go out of trend but still, lots of ladies are too conservative or scared to wear it. I've had several wedding/event makeovers where the client refuses to let me apply red lipstick on then (my strong persuasive/convincing skills never fail me though). I find this confusing sometimes because red is vintage. If your old mothers and grandmothers could be courageous enough to wear red, why not young & vibrant you?

Red Jewellery Fever...Give Other Colours A Try

Hi ladies, the red fever is still on but I think we should try out new colour replacements for black and red. Every lady getting married now wears a piece of red, which is mostly brought on with the use of red beads or other red accessories (shoes & purses).

Darkening of The Lips...Causes & Remedies

Darkened, chapped lips can lead to a bad first impression by making you look unclean and unhealthy. The causes of lip darkening ranges from the body's absorption of toxic ingredients to the lack of proper lip care.
If you have naturally dark lips, then this post is not for you  **wink**.

As easy as it is to blame lip products for the 'gradual' darkening of your lips, you should know that lots of other things such as; smoking, consumption of tea & coffee, exposure to sunlight and dehydration can also contribute to the darkening of your lips. I've listed a couple of things that can cause your natural lip colour to change below;
