Hairstyle Tutorial: Upstyling a Ponytail

I have been invited for E-wedding this year twice!  I can see people are slowly getting back to their lives continuing happy celebrations like Weddings.  

If you attend a wedding online, you would at least pucker-up and fix your hair for that nice photos to share to the bride and groom right?  I KNOW I WOULD!

Hiring a makeup artist and hairstylist is a no-no in times like this!  Not unless you are vaccinated and assured of your safety, you need to spend money and I don’t think it is needed unless you have tons of cash to spare! :D. Please send me some if you have overflowing cash!  *LOL*

So here’s a simple ponytail that looks decent and really nice for wedding guests!  If you are a bridesmaid or Bride and wanted to do this, feel free to curl your ponytail!   

The key to this hairstyle are the lovely clips which I bought online few years back!  There are a lot of good and inexpensive ones on both Lazada and Shopee.

Feel free to watch my quick IG Video below if you want to see how easyit is to achieve such hairtyle!  Hairspray is needed if you have super soft hair!

KVD Beauty MODCON Liquid Gel Blush Review

 

KVD - Kat Von D.

The most sought after make up brand as a Beauty Blogger/Enthusiast.  

I remembered wanting/trying to get my hands on Kat Von D products but I just don’t have the means beause I don’t like to order online anymore as I need to pick them up at local post offices.  

Resellers?  There are a lot of them but I do not personally know legit ones and I am obviously afraid of fakes!

So thankful for Sephora  because I can be assured of the authenticity of the makeup and skincare products.

So there…that is an intro!  Hahaha  Seriously, I was invited to KVD Beauty’s Online event 2 weeks ago and I learned so much from Nikki Wolf.  Through the process of makeup application, there are 2 products I SUPER want to try!  Their Tattoo Liner and these MODCON Liquid Gel Blush!

I hailed these the most unique blush texture I have tried to date —— 

KVD MODCON Liquid Gel Blush —- (taken from Sephora website)

What it is: A lightweight, long-wear liquid-gel blush for a modern skin look: hydrated and dewy with a punch of color. 

Ingredient Callouts: This product is vegan and cruelty-free.

What Else You Need to Know: ModCon melts on easily and feels like a second skin. Build this shimmer-free blush up without highlighting texture or getting streaky, tacky, or patchy. The innovative formula helps keep skin looking hydrated, bright, and smooth, and it’s infused with hoya lacunosa flower extract.

Turkish Finds Lambskin Leather Bag (Burnt Sienna)

 

Hello everyone!  Ahh, I have found a super nice leather bag for 2021!  I haven’t shopped any clothing, footwear, bags since the start of 2021.  I mean look!  Where do I usually go?  I can count using my fingers the times I go out and it’s all visit to my parent’s Home.  Ahhh how much I missed them!

But before you go…why would you dress up going to your parents home?  Well, I always do!  Not in a fashionable way —- in my own personal style + FACE MASK!

I love the mom jeans I bought online and the knitted sleeveless top!  I honestly wear them at HOME!  So yes, it was like me wearing home clothes outside!  Why do I dress up even at home?  

Online work!  I have a couple of Zoom meetings or calls every now and then and I want to make sure that I look “ready” and “professional” when the caller would suddenly request for Video Calls.  They usually do not require video calls but out of respect, I guess that is a TEACHER IN ME, I wanted the person to see my facial expressions, my face, just to let them know how important they are to me for me to at least look half decent and meet them eye to eye! :D

 

That’s just my 2 cents.  

My parents and brother had COVID scare so I stopped going there for 2 months.   After testing negative in the Swab test, I finally gave myself a go to visit them once again and look at my excited face behind the mask!

Inside my Turkish Finds Lambskin Leather bag are the following —- Face Shield, Alcohol, Wallet, Shades, Keys and some snacks!

Whenever I am out, I tend not to eat and drink so I make sure I have enough snacks inside my bag whenever I go back to my car and eat while I drive —- well not literally WHITE DRIVING but in between traffic and long stops! (P.S. You only do that when you are very much aware of your driving, if you can’t multi-task, please do not FOLLOW ME!  I have ulcer/GERD so I need to eat every now and then!)

The bag comes in SEVERAL Colors, and I finally decided to go for the shade Burnt Sienna for it’s unique color and texture.  It has a “torched leather” kind of feel to it so this won my heart.

NEW! Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum

 

I reviewed about the sought after Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum a couple of years back.  Fast forward to today, who would have thought the product that gets sold every 12 seconds now comes with New Formulation, Better Hydration and Absorption powers?

It is possible!  I have tried this for a month!

Innisfree says —-

A daily moisture-barrier strengthening serum with the upgraded formula helps to care for dehydrated skin by moisturising, soothing, and nourishing a healthy-looking complexion.

Formulated with Green Tea Biome, a new ingredient that combines a balance of Tri-biotics™️ - prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics - to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier from the inside, giving you water glowing skin and healthy-looking skin.

This best-seller helps replenish moisture and provides deep hydration with a blend of Green Tea Water and 5 types of Hyaluronic Acid, including one that is derived from Jeju’s green soybeans. Enriched with Allantoin that helps to temporarily relieve redness caused by external irritants.

I use this as first step after cleansing and like using this especially on day time especially since I am always in a hurry and I need instant hydration with instant absorption powers.  It feels so good and smells so nice!  It serves as a good makeup base as well because it helps keep my skin hydrated all throughout the day without any dry patches from powdered makeup.

Veggies Delivery Online!

 

I have been cooking nonstop ever since Quarantine.  I have been cooking most of my married life but the number of times I cook multiplied by 2-3 as I also need to buy more meat and vegetables.  

Meat are easier to purchase becuse there are several online grocery apps I use and so far I am not disappointed.  What disappoints me are when fruits and veggies are delivered unfresh so I have 2 options that I am not disappoited so far!
