To make your eyelash application quick and easy, be sure you have everything to hand. You will need a small table top mirror, preferably a magnifying one; a pair of tweezers, the pot of glue and the eyelashes.

2. Be patient
When applying your false lashes you don’t want to get in a flutter before you’re even wearing them! The main error that is made when girls apply their own false lashes at home, is rushing to get the lashes on or panicking when the application doesn’t look right. Especially if you’ve been dating at eHarmony and are about to meet your date for the first time! It’s really important to leave the glue to set on the lashes for at least 30 seconds before applying the lashes; this will ensure the glue has enough hold on the lashes first.

3. Step by step
i) Before applying a strip of false lashes, firstly make sure that you will be applying each strip to the correct eye, as the lashes come in sets of left and right
ii) If the lash strip is too wide, you can cut an amount off the end with the longer lashes (the outside) with a pair of nail scissors. You should never try to cut the lashes once you have applied them to your eyes so always measure before.
iii) Starting with your first lash strip, apply a thin layer of glue to the seam of the lashes with a fine brush or application tool. Try not to get glue on the lashes themselves. Leave the glue for at least 30 seconds.
iv) Looking down in to the mirror, use the tweezers to pick up the glued lashes and place them at the root of your natural lashes, not directly on to the skin. Gently apply pressure to each end of the lash strip and hold it in place for 30 seconds, and then gently tap along the middle to secure the strip. Repeat with the next set of lashes on the other eye.

4. Wearing your lashes with pride.
Once you have successfully secured you luscious lashes, you can add a little eye makeup to finish the look. Make sure that any glue around your eye has dried before applying any cosmetics. Remember if you are going to be in photographs your new eyelashes will already make your eyes look bigger and darker, so if you are taking a profile photo to find Asian singles at eHarmony or a special portrait for work or family, don’t go too dark with the rest of your make up if you want to achieve a natural look with your longer lashes.

Take time over the application and you won’t have the terrible “there’s a spider on your face” comments when one set of lashes slips off! When the time comes for your big date or photo shoot, if you have applied your lashes correctly they will last you all night.

Before I started blogging, I am the type of person who loves writing. I love sharing my thoughts, opinions, my feelings and I even wrote a story in a mini-notebook way back in high school, too! Until now, I do feel that writing is a big part of my life and I believe in one way or another – it’s important for everyone else too.

Parker Ingenuity is as beautiful as it is modern. The attention-grabbing design elements and trend inspired finishes make this the newest must-have accessory to compliment your lifestyle.

I used to not be picky with my pens, especially with Parker but at this point, seeing how fashionable its design and how my writing is being done with Parker Ingenuity.

 Everyone is a brand. We are all individuals who has a brand of its own and no matter how we sell ourselves whether of applying of a job, looking for friends, building a network or even when looking for a potential lover – it’s all about branding. Mind you, branding all starts with how we present ourselves. 

Like how Barney in How I Met Your Mother says, “C’mon Ted and SUIT UP!” It’s all about attracting your target and nailing them. Definitely, dressing up to impress is a factor. I personally never like suits before but as I grew up, I realized their existence and worth especially when I started to be in the age where I needed to look professional. I especially love Express suits, whether it’s for men or women – they have it all! They all look fashionable too! I especially like their Women’s studio stretch jacket suit. It’s classy, stylish and comfortable to wear. It’s so comfortable I could wear it anywhere – it becomes a part of you when you get used to it.

Don’t you guys think shopping online is way much better than walking-in to the mall?

With shopping online, you can always take a pick on what items, accessories and dresses fancy you. You will be confident to actually have the size that fits you with no hassle at all!

I personally love checking out Streetwear Shop because I like wearing clothing that I can actually wear anytime especially when I’m on outdoor with friends. You can also buy Desigual online, they have a lot of fabulous designs especially this coming winter season. If you are looking for something to buy for your lover, then you can try checking out Herrenschmiede for Men, he will definitely look hot in those shirts!

What do you guys prefer when buying online? I always check on the price, quality and the amount I should pay for the shipping fee as well. I only purchase things online when I feel it’s actually worth the money I spent on it!

If you, like me, are the type of person that doesn’t want to feel the cold weather but doesn’t want to dress for it either then there is only one solution. I discovered it the hard way but I discovered it none the less, wear thermal clothing!

Now, for those who didn’t know:
What is a Thermal Clothing? How is this different from what we usually wear? Do do they work and keep us warm?

Thermal clothing is usually a type of clothing used during winter or at times when you feel cold. The material used on this type of clothing is very different from what is used normally in clothing. Thermal clothing material absorbs our body’s moisture and dries it, quickly regulating its moisture efficiently. In addition to this, it has a breathable quality in the material that lets your skin breathe whilst keeping the heat in.

Just like normal clothing there is a huge range of styles and types to choose from. From thermal underwear to tops and thermal pants, anyone can enjoy winter and cold summer nights without looking odd or standing out. It gives us a sense of comfort so that we can enjoy our daily lives without feeling too cold, uneasy and looking awkward, too!

The question we all think about is.. “Do I have enough money to spend?” But really, does it always have to go down to money itself? Well, in truth.. it is, it does. Well, I wouldn’t deny myself that money is very important to human beings – to survive. But still, if you talk about love.. there are still many things and many ways to show your love and affection to your loved ones.

Well, you can always buy something cheap in the mall, go to the department section and find some gifts for kids or find some crafting boutique or so.. – it’s always the thought that counts. In my case, I would rather think what can make “this certain someone” happy.. without really spending that much money. Be artistic, be creative.. there are many ways to make someone smile. Believe me, money isn’t always the case. Sometimes, even the most cheapest and silliest things can make someone very happy.

It’s not always about stilettos, sexy high heeled shoes and pumps. You can always make use of wedges when you take a morning walk or do some grocery and shopping spree in the mall or you could resort to just wearing some flats if you feel that wearing wedges can still make your feet hurt as much as heels do. Then again.. (I am saying this out of practicality means…) there is no easy way in beauty and fashion. Just like to be up high in fame – there will always be pain, learning and effort. You deal with that, you will get recognition and rewards. It’s just like losing weight, too!

Oh, and did I ever mention that wearing some sneakers, walking/running shoes and canvas can be fashionably sporty chic as well? It’s all in the attitude and how you carry yourself. Be confident and be open to try new things – who knows? It might actually work for you and even bring out the beauty that is always within you!

A girls trainers shoes can actually look good to you too. Just pick out the best looking shoes you prefer and feel comfortable with and just match it with some clothing. I used to do that and match it with a straight dress, too! It’s sporty chic in fashion which can be cute in many ways! Give it a try some time.. you can even upload it in your Lookbook, too!
