Esmeria Organic’s Skin care product : Part I




  I've been wanting to blog about
 Esmeria Organic’s Skin care product for the longest time 
and there's no other better time than
this month ! my 1 year anniversary with
 Esmeria Organic’s Skin care product.

I've never stay with a skin care product for this long ,
I changed my skin care product so often
because most of the products are not as effective as it is.
so i don't see the point in sticking to them. 

Where did i found it?
In watson! i was looking for a travel set skin product
 to bring to my Philippines trip last December. 
I almost bought hada labo! but my mum suggested THIS and
 i wasn't too sure about it because

1. I've never heard of it before
2.It's made in Malaysia!
3. Sensitive skin . I tend to have really bad breakouts 
If the product doesn't go well with my skin .



So yeah , ALMOST DIDN'T BUY IT.
BUT because it's organic and
 it wouldnt cause any side effects.
it has oily acne prone skin lines.
 and it's the only one i could find that comes in a travel set. 

Since I've been using a non-organic skincare
 for most of my life now.
Which is harmful to skin because it contains chemical ingredients.
Now it's never too late to change to an Organic Skin Care Product!


The reason i choose THIS from any other organic skin care
 is because its freaking affordable for an organic product!  
It's less than Rm120 for the whole set


which consists of Facial wash , Toner and moisturizer.
and yes I'm using Alpine Willow herd For Oily and Acne prone skin. :) 

There are three types 
- Dry and mature skin
- Normal and combination Skin 
- Oily and acne prone skin

I got mine last march ! :)
after trying them already. :P

The brand who is responsible for this cute looking cat clutch is LaguanaMoon

Saw it first on Chesserland's instagram!
where she wore it to H&M opening !


This cat-ear hats and headbands are everywhere now too!
the blue one looks more like a devil's horn than a cat ear. :S

Quick DIY Inspiration : Celine Paris Shirt





I am currently obsessed with this Celine Paris T-shirt !
You can create your own Inspired Celine Paris shirt at home now!

To D.I.Y IT 
You need :
- Plain White Shirt 
- Black Acrylic paint or any fabric paint 
Bought my paint in Popular bookstore
you can even use black fabric marker for this
-Paint brush & Palette ( if you're using paint ) 





Steps:

1. Prepare the white t-shirt. Put a wide flat cardboard inside of it; this will make it easier to draw on the t-shirt without harming the back of the shirt. 
2.Freehand drawing the Words on the shirt with the paint brush .
3.Dry the picture for 15 minutes or wait till it's completely dry .
4 Turn your shirt inside out and Iron the back of the cloth for three minutes to set the paint.

WARNING :
DO NOT DIP TOO MUCH WATER ON YOUR BRUSH . It'll smudge

DV By Dolce Vita Archer Sandals



I've mention before that i am into T-straps sandals.
I don't really like wearing sandals or flats that cover my toes? haha. i get blister easily .
I only wear them to class or work sometimes when i only have to wear them for a short period of time or when i don't have to walk on them for so long like ... shopping etc. 

Back to the topic , 
I first spotted this sandals while browsing through weheartit for a DIY Inspiration 
I didn't really noticed them till the neon ones popped up !






The hot pink and Mint Green are my absolute favorites. 


SO ,

DIY IT OR BUY IT

New York Fashion Week 2012 : Betsey Johnson


I always love how funky and entertaining her runway shows are. 

A few of my favorites.






Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves and, of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys they’d just walk around naked at all times.
