Riviera Lavender - L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Colour

Since I started college a few month ago, I become obsessed with taking care of my nails. I use the session of self-manicure-pedicure (the cheapest method possible, of course!) as relaxation with my friends after a long long hard week.

Last Monday was the due date of one of my group assignment. There were a lot of things to be done but all of the students (that I've spoken to) didn't think it's worth the mark. Hands down, that assignment was the most stressful for this semester.

Once we finished the project, I decided to wind down and do a wee bit of taking-care-of-myself/nail ritual. It is fall here so I think pastel color would look lovely on nails.

I tested out my L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Colour in shade 507, Riviera Lavender. I am not sure if this available in all countries, but I really hope it does since this shade is so beautiful!

This is how the bottle looks like. I'm a sucker for cute small bottles of nail polish, since I rarely finish one standard bottle and it does not take up a large space to store. Since Lavender is indeed my favorite flower and smell, the color appeals to me the most. This is how the nail polish looks like once you put it on:

The color come out to be pastel purple with a little bit of blue hue in it. The formula is great, creamy in a very good consistency. I used two coats and top it up with one layer of top coat and it covers my 10 nails beautifully. The brush is so easy to use and it feels soft on your nails as well. It stays on my nails very well too. The picture was taken on third day of using it. As I'm writing, it's day 6 and it has only chipped a little bit on the edges (most likely because I had to crawl and use a lot of hand movement for something :P)

Overall, I give L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Colour 5 stars because it is very pretty, looks lovely and stays really good on my nails for quite a good price (for a uni student! Thus, it might be cheap for you lovelies out there who work?). You can give L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Colour a go by going to your nearest drugstore or department store :) x

It is Okay

I'm writing this down not because I want to be inspirational or anything. In my 19 years of life, I've been in the same situation for lots and lots of time and I always feel uncomfortable about this.

As you probably know, I'm in a family with loads of males. I have female cousins from my dad's side but they all live so far away that I don't get to see them very often.

Being the only girl in the family and having 5 other male cousins and an older brother is very very amazing. I am very grateful and I wouldn't wish for anything else to happen. Anyway... This pretty much makes me a lot like them, like a guy.

I really don't want to explain myself to find justice but in a nutshell, I'm not that girly. Yes, sure, I know and like stuffs about make up and fashion, but it stops there. I don't really dress up or plan my outfit just to go to school. I don't really wear make up (I still wear it sometimes). I don't have a ladylike curve/figure. And, I wear glasses.

All these were never a problem until I move away from home. I did not expect people's view about girls is that twisted...

It was really annoying when people ask me why I wear glasses and lecture me about how uncomfortable it is to wear glasses. Told me to lose the glasses and wear contacts and whatever. Excuse me. It's not like I devote my life and try hard to wear glasses. I wear it because I have to, my eyesight is not healthy thus I wear glasses. And I'm still scared to wear contacts, but I will try hard because I really have to in a few months from now.

I have scars on my face from acne. It is annoying when people say why not cover it up with make up, why don't you want to wear make up, come here and I'll make your face up, and I will not let you get away with no make up to this event. I don't know why I don't want to cover my scars up with make up. I wear make up when I feel like it. And sometimes I just don't think I need to hide my scars. It's not like I spray blood from my face, anyway.

I have a wavy/curly/thick hair. And let me tell you, it is annoying when people told me to straightened my hair, "you look better with straight hair", "why don't you straightened your hair", "let me straightened your hair" and all the stuffs. No, you don't know how I looked like with straight hair. No, I  don't want you to straightened my hair and I do not want to do it myself. This is my hair, I like it natural, get over it.

I'm a medium size and you would not believe how annoyed I am when people start to compare figures, telling me that I'm so lucky I'm skinny, I have small this small that (while sometimes the person who said this are smaller than I am). Despite this, I eat a lot. And I don't appreciate when people starts telling me about how much fat/sugar/carbohydrate are in the food that I eat, keep asking "why do you eat that? It's so unhealthy" and then coming back to the first comment about body figure. I have been called anorexic for many times and you have no idea how much I wanted to throw a rack full of shoes.

And (probably) you don't know how much it hurts when you hear those comments from people you know, people you love, or even people whom you just met.

Enough of me rambling, the point is I do not see anything wrong with wearing glasses, having a wavy/curly hair or acne scars on my face. It was never a problem, why is it a problem now? Do you judge people from their size? From their outfit and make up? NO.

In the end, nobody is perfect. If anything, I am totally unfit in all the ways you could ever think of. I don't do sports anymore. The only thing I do now is walk or cycle to and fro campus. And IT IS OKAY to have imperfections because every single person in this world have at least one. IT IS OKAY to wear comfortable clothes or not to wear make up or glasses as long as you look presentable as a human being (not like wearing underwear outside and all that crap).

I don't like to be a standard for anything. As long as you are healthy, you feel good about yourself, you fulfil your needs, and you are not bothering other people, IT IS OKAY.

Sunday Morning, No Rain Was Falling

Hi! So, I don't know, I think I'll do like OOTD or something? No, this is not like a proper OOTD, because I know nothing about fashion! I'm just gonna put a pic of myself that I took on Sunday, pathetically, in a small road on this view mirror. Don't judge me guys, please don't :P

Yeah, my body is pretty distorted ahahahahaha but whatever so, I was wearing:

• Blue Shirt (it actually has white vertical stripes that you can't see)
• Dark Blue (almost grey) skinny jeans with washed out effect along the thighs and knees that I've had for 6 years-ish :)
• Pair of black wedges (short heels)
• And I'm holding a wallet from my sister, Pamela.

That's it guys for now, see you when I see you! 

*I'm sorry I'm not putting down the shops where I got the items from because I don't want to*

Fashion on Men

Haloooo! Oke kali ini gue mau posting. Tapi ga punya ide mau posting apa. Jadi postingan kali ini bakal random.

Oh, jadi kemaren gue pergi, belanja kebutuhan rumah tangga. Pas gue sampe stasiun, nunggu keretanya tuh agak lama 5 menit gitu. Tiba2 dari kejauhan gue liat ada cowo, biasa aja sih sebenernya. Dan gue naksir sama jaket kulit warna item yang dia pake. Rasanya pengen gue colong. Hahaha *obsesi pengen beli leather jacket yang belom kesampean*. Trus tu cowo nunggu kereta di pintu yg sama sama gue. Dia tinggi, pake skinny jeans, kaos putih sm jaket kulit item, topi dan kaca mata item, padahal stasiunnya INDOOR. Itu orang dengerin iPod, lagunya disco RnB hip hop, kenceeeeng banget, dan JOGET JOGET SAMBIL NGACA DI PINTU MRT. Itu orang, senyum2 sendiri trus jacketnya yang sebelah kiri bagian pundaknya dibuka dikebelakangin gitu lho. ADUH YAAMPUN.

Naaaah, ini yang ngebuat gue agak ngga suka sama fashion cowo jaman sekarang. Kalo lo perhatiin banyaaak banget cowo jaman sekarang yg pake V-Neck tee. Tau kan lo? Kaos dada rendah? Trus kalo pake kaos lengannya pendeeeek bgt kaya tanktop tapi bukan tank top, dan ketat. Ya, gue tau sih kan mau pamer otot gituu biar keliatan macho. Tapi malah salah. Jadi overmacho ampe geli.

Trus, kalo pake kemeja bisa ketaaat gitu ampe bikin males ngeliatnya. Kalo pake celana jeans bisa yang skinnyyyyy banget, ngalahin skinny jeans cewe. Bahkan ada yang pake celana pendek selutut model skinnyyyy. Apa banget kan? Trus waktu itu gue liat cowo, atasannya kaya baju basket gitu kan, anak sport gitu deh. Eh bawahannya? HOT PANTS yang kaya dipake cewe2 buat olahraga -.- Maksud gue, oke lah ya itu buat olahraga. Tapi ngga ampe segitu pendeknya juga kaaaan?? Ama boxer juga masih pendekan itu deh.

Yang lebih parah lagi, waktu itu gue liat di koran, di fashion catwalk, cowo udah mulai beradaptasi dan ga mau kalah sama fashion cewe. Bayangin deh, COWOK pake LEGGING. Turn off parah.

Sorry, gue ga ngatain pihak manapun disini. Ini personal opinion aja lhoo, so NO OFFENSE to you guys out there.

Lagipula, I'm alright with boys in skinny jeans and V-neck T-shirt (but NO FOR THE LEGGING, pleaseeee) tapi please, skinny jeansnya jangan yang SUPER SKINNY begitu ya, kan bisaa, skinny normal ajaaa. Make some room for your skin dude. Dan V-neck T-shirtnya jangan yang waaay down gitu. Hehehe.
