Don't say I never bath ok? Tutorial was done on the same day with my braided hairstyle tutorial.

 Some might have learnt of it already, so this is for the benefit of those who don't know.

This hairstyle can be easily match with different dressing. Its that versatile!

Hope you girls will enjoy it. My next post is gonna be about my new hauls. Man, I'm broke!

If you have any request in mind, just drop me a comment ok?

Love,

Bianca

I did not have a hair cut. Yup, Annaling, so there's absolute no problems with me styling my hair. Haha..

Thing is, that short hair that you saw in the pictures, were fake. I tied a fake bob. Another new hairstyle that I've been learning lately. Heez...

And I pretty much love that look. Now I'm really tempted to get a haircut just like that. Sigh.

See you girls soon,

love,
Bianca

Out of my impulsive nature, I decided to give my long mane a good haircut. And *poof*, this is how I look right now.

I like the current length, it makes me feel light and gives me a fresher look. Though I think I still need time to adapt to it.

I'm not sure if I will regret this move, because it took me forever to have my hair grew to the previous length.

What do you think about it? Which do you prefer?

Hope to hear from you girls soon.

See ya!

Yours,

Bianca

These little babies need new mummy(s) and thus I'm putting them on adoption. They are pretty new and in good condition, and I'm letting them off because I'm not using it. And the price are definitely lower than the retail price! Scroll on down, and if you like any of it, drop me a mail at cheryl_bianca@hotmail.com

Fancl Milky Lotion Light

Retail price: $29.50
Selling at: $20

Was looking around for a moisturizer, and being a fan of Fancl, I bought it. Don't underestimate the size of the bottle. The content is so rich, that with just 2 small drops, it is enough to moisturize your face. Selling this away because I'm using Dermadex refining cream now, and it double up as my moisturizer. I used this product less than 10 times. Adopt me now!

ZA Pore Smoother

Retail price: $15.90
Selling at $8

This baby here act as a makeup base, totally live up to its name. Besides making your face smoother, it also help to minimize your pores. Makeup application is way easier after applying this baby on your face. Had only used it once. Adopt me now!

ZA Blemish Shoot Skin Conditioning Mist

Retail price: $13.50
Selling at: $7

This baby here is a savior to dry, dehydrated skin. It works well when you spray it prior to putting on your makeup, because it make your makeup last longer! Imagine lesser touching up! I just love the freshness whenever I spritz it on my face. More than 3/4 of the solutions are left. Adopt me now!

ZA Blemish Shoot Pore Treatment Gel

Retail price: I'm unsure
Selling at: $6

This light gel texture help to minimize pores to attain a flawless look. This baby can be use prior to applying makeup. This product was used less than 5 times too. Adopt me now!

Maybelline Impact Express pencil eyeshadow- shade Impact Silver

Retail price: Unsure
Selling at $6

Brand new, totally unused and packaging is still intact. I bought it only to realise I have the same shade at home (how forgetful!). I love the eyeshadow because its really creamy, and blendable. Most of the time, I will apply it as my base for my eyes. Adopt me now!

Bourjois Bulles d'Eclat

Bought it at $6.50 for all 12 bulbs
Selling at $0.50 for 1 bulb or $5 for all 11 bulbs

As can be seen from the pictures, I had used one bulb to try it out. This foundation gives your face a radiant and even complexion because it is sheer in colour. In this picture, I'm using this particular foundation. Each bulb has approximately 0.3mls, and its enough to apply all over your face and neck. If you want to try this, adopt me now!

Hope you girls will enjoy shopping!

Love,
Bianca

Thank you for reading girls! 

I believe most girls love high heels. As for me, I love heels so much, that I only own 1 flats, while the remaining are high heels. At tender age of 12, I've been starting to wear those whenever I'm out. During my tetiary years, it was heels for me daily to school. In fact, the higher the heels, the more glad I am.

Whoever heard that heels are bad for health?

I do.

But girls, don't we ignore advice for the sake of beauty? Don't we just want to look good?

Awhile back, I was reading HeavenlyGorgeous blog about heels, and I thought it was good to give my 2cents about it as well.

With everything, there are advantages and disadvantages. So its good to compare to see if its beneficial. Shall talk with the advantages first.

Heels, gives the illusion of looking tall. Short girls like me need that extra help alot. Besides, it make your legs look nicer, and its really easy to match your style. Lastly, it definitely give you the extra boost of confidence.

However, the disadvantages of heels are not so pretty. Firstly, there's definitely lots of pain. Walking a long distance causes discomforts, and you have a high risk of spraining your ankle. Ouch! And those extra height make walking a lot more difficult! Supermodels who walked the runway have their fair share of falling too. Watch this video to believe it. And with long term of heels, your back is going to suffer too.

Heels make your body propel forward, in order to balance yourself. This in turn, strain your back.

And because I'm a victim of chronic back pain, I feel a need to share with all you readers, so you can look after your health too. Lately, a visit to the doctor, made me realised that I had slipped disc.

In medical terms, it meant that the pad between the bone and spine had either rupture or split. In turn, the jelly-like substance leaked, and will thus apply pressure on the spinal cord. Needless to say, this causes pain.

Of course, heels were definitely the culprit, and that is why I am banned from wearing heels. Grr.. But for my health, it is worth it.

So girls, if you are like me, having heels as your staple in your dressing, please remember to give your back and legs a rest. Afterall, flats can look good too! You don't wanna regret for life right?

Take care girls!

Love,

Bianca

Its interesting to be able to do a makeup that is totally different from what I usually does for models. With this theme in mind, I got to push myself forward and allow my creative juice to flow. It was really fun working with Solange, as she's friendly and really open to ideas too.

And I really give her my utmost respect for being able to dress and take such wonderful shots in the busy Orchard Road. I know it wasn't easy, but its worth it because those photos were taken professionally.

Here are some shots for my portfolio.

For more pictures, you can go to my portfolio to view. Click here.

My next post is gonna be something about health. Though not makeup related, but I reckon, its good to share.

Hope you girls have a good week ahead!

Love,

Bianca

Finally I'm done with my video edit and this is how I did my Japanese Inspired look. Hairstyle is different from previous post, because I did the video recording on another day. Still, I would show you how my braided hairband is made soon. =)

For now, I can't get over how much I love hair bow. Lady Gaga created this iconic fashion and it showered great impact on yours truly. It took me awhile to master my hair bow, and yes I know, there are others out there who have done that.

(My messy bow after a day out. Imagine me going through a crowd who were excited about watching fireworks. Its no wonder my hair fail to stay neat.)

Hope you girls like the video (I have friends who told me I look real funny when my movements were fast forward, but I thought it would be good to keep the video short).

Yours,

Bianca

Its the same excuse again, but work is work, and I failed to update regularly. Despite the busy times, I'm addicted to Japanese look lately. Been learning on their different kawaii hairstyles, and definitely working on a Japanese inspired look. Collaged some of the selected photos together, and here it is.

It looks pretty nude, and is definitely different from my usual colourful eyeshadow. I love how it look, lately I've been dolling myself with this look. And not forgetting my braided hair which acts like my hairband.

Love how the whole makeup made my eyes look bigger. =)

If you interested in this look, look out for the tutorial. I'm editing it right now. Hope you girls will like it.

Love,

Bianca
