I Want To Fly To India Right Now!

... to get MANY of these ohhh sooo vibrantly gorgeous Salwar Kameez!

My mom bought each of her daughters saris during her trip to India few weeks back.. I got 2 of them.. the first one is a very bright color combination of pink and blue.. the material is kind of silk to cotton type... yeah i am sooo damn clueless about fabrics! -_-' while the other one i picked the more soft nature color...it's very flowy & soft to the hands.. At first i thought just to make a simple kurung lama with the A-shaped skirt (so that I could wear it as skirt alone as well :p) and a simple kurung modern out of them.. but then i thought since they are saris, why not try to make an Indian-style dress right? so i searched on the internet and found this very cool website selling & customising saris design. So girls, u might want to check it out! Designer Salwar Kameez

These are few designs that seriously catched my eyes.

I love the wide pants design!!!

something tunic?

Or layer them? pretty nice!

See the selendang??? that's another reason for flying to India too!

I love how saris make weird combination of colors seem  charming!

the colors!

feminine

My ultimate obsession of all! see how she wears the head scarf? OMG! so gorgeous!

Hey all.. do u by any chance know any tailor who can make beutiful salwar kameez like those? with affordable price too :p care to share? do you think i can find any around Jalan TAR? and i want to look for those bright color skinny pants too!

My Oh-So-La Beauty Regime Kan... Hehe

Was inspired to write on this by Firod. Promised her to post last night, but sorry I went to visit my cousin's new baby :-). So here it goes:

AM (Daily)

1. Facial Wash. I'm using Olay Total Perfect at the moment. I don't really spend a lot on this. Any brand would do as long as it does not dry up my skin & can thoroughly cleanse away dirts & make up residuals. Previously I used SK-II cleanser, but the Olay one is way better!


2. Toner. SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion. I am going to change this to a cheaper brand huhuhhh since I don't think I need to splurge on toner anymore.


3. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. This one is good! I apply it around my eye area as well. But I am so tempting to try their new product, the Cellumination Essence but it's way too pricey! RM499 for 30ml??????? Gile! huhuhhh


4. SK-II Facial Treatment Milk. This is a moisturizer which will keep the moisture balance of the skin. Since I have a rather combination skin i.e. oily around T-Zone & quite normal on other area, this one was recommended by the counter lady.


5. UV Protection. The Bodyshop SPF25/PA+++ Cream.


6. My daily very basic make-up: Ronasutra Mineral Powder, very little touch of blusher, highlighter under brow bond & inner corner of eyes, eye brow define, lip balm & color (ohh i love pink lip color!!! :mrgreen:).

When applying toner & essence, I prefer to use facial cotton ball over cotton pad because it's easier to apply the circular motion on skin. And while applying essence, moisturizer & spf, i always take time to pamper my skin with a little bit of light massages. Running the fingertips on skin, circular motion around ayes, upward motion on skin & neck and many more, just google! :-)

PM (Daily)

1. Same as AM.


2. Also same.


3. Again. Same.


4. Olay Radiance Night Cream.


5. Lip Balm


6. Dah, cukup! Mahu tido jer.

Every 3 Days

Before sleep, after face wash, I apply toner, and then scrub my face with Benefit Honey Scrub (Thanks Nawar for the recommendation! Totally loving it!), and toner again, essence & finally night cream. Sometimes I do mask my face if I got some from pharmacies / beauty outlets. So maskers are not really a routine for me. I usually look for them when I have some kind of special events or meetings on the following day. As for now, I love maskers from The Face Shop. A huge range & affordable stuff there!

Body, Feet & Hair

Well, shower twice a day. Generously apply & massage body lotion right after every shower. This could help to improve the natural body odor besides giving u smooth & supple skin. If u want to brighten the skin, u may look for brightening / whitening products. I use scrub every 3 days. Currently loving the Body Polish line by The Bodyshop. Hmm I might want to use back the bath lily I guess :roll:.

After the night skin regime routine before sleep, I will slather on foot cream on my feet & put on my sleep socks. Night socks are very loose & comfortable to wear. And trust me, this one prevents my heels from drying & cracking!

Hair... hmmm my hair is not very healthy I guess. I have hair fall problem. Currently I'm using Bio-Iss hair gel twice a day. This product was recommended by the saloon lady I went few weeks back. This gel claims to strengthen the hair root & help us to have a healthy scalp by massaging the gel on the scalp at least twice a day. I've been using this for about 2 weeks now & have noticed an impressive reduction of dandruff & oily scalp. Hopefully the hair fall problem will be reduced too! And I wish to have a volumised & long healthy hair :twisted:. Ohh anyway, I shampoo & condition my hair every 3 days. Do u think I should wash my hair every other day? Maybe kan? Finally, for shiny black hair, I apply olive oil while the hair still wet.

So that's all I guess. A bit extra I want to share with u. I swear on these during-emergencies products:

• InnerShine Prune Essence. Sometimes I get too tired & lazy to wash my face before sleep and hence a dull & break-out skin on the next few days. Drink this every night before sleep for about 2 weeks and tadaaaaa a new radiance & clearer skin. Believe me! I have few experiences!


• Tomatoes for scars. When I was in 2nd year, I had a seriously ugly skin. It was full with acne scars! What I did was chop off a tomato, rub on the skin in circular motion and leave them for about 15 min just like masker. Did this once / twice per week & my skin was gradually getting cleared from the scars. This need patience though since u know scars are not easy to get rid off.

Dapat wajah ini tiap2 pagi bila rajin buat skin regime, bila malas cuci muka sebelum tido, takkan dapat wajah ini malah lebih comot dengan acne!

And now I need u, pretty ladies' helps & recommendations on these product!

1. A good eye cream! As our eyes skin are the thinnest & the easiest to get wrinkles, I might need to start using it huh? Well, something which can help to reduce eye bag as well would be good! I have them since I was in school because my eyes are very allergic to I-don't-quite-know-what-they-are, really.


2. Cellulite!! I HATE them! How? Anyone know any good & working product to reduce this?


3. Any hair product to reduce hair fall. Be it shampoo / conditioner / anything.

But above all these, drink plenty of water & exercises are still the best remedies for good skin! So korang2 yang cantik menawan semua, please do share your skin care regime & experience ok!! :cool:

Cutting Off The Unnecessaries...

cut off my hair short today! yeay! ^_^ The head felt so light in a flesh :) I went to the same salon as last time. It wasn't the same lady who did my hair cut previously but a practical student instead. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the result was pretty good. I give her a thumb up hehe ;p I chose to cut shorter since the weather is very much reasoning it but still kept the layered style, so i have to say goodbye to the 'v' shape. although i did asked her if she can manage to do it, but answered "nak bagi v shape tu saya tak pandai la kak" hahaa.. overall ... yup loving it!

ohhh i bumped into an old friend in Jasin & kms at the sunway pyramid... eyyy zatul u got thinner!!! uhuuuuu

Good And Bad Therapy

i had my hair cut last saturday and all i can say is i'm sooo loving it!! :mrgreen: now it's a bit Rukia-like though not that straight... my hair a bit curly but the cutting is sure a quite matched resemblance... everything was not planned as i just told the girl that i cut my hair myself in the shower somewhere in May last year :roll: , so i just need to get it repaired and have the 'V' shape at the back... and i just let her do her job then... at first i wasn't very convinced with her skill, as i watched her do my sis hair beforehand... but i was like lantaklaaa da sampai da pon... and i already took off my tudung pon... and yup surprisingly i think that was the first time i am really happy with my hair cut... it has a bit styling sense in it... ohhh i'm not counting the time i had my hair rebonded last time... that was a totally different story.. before this i would just consider to have short and easy hair... thats why i didn't hesitate to cut off my own hair while showering last time.. ihiksss..

ohhh btw, i had the hair cut at PKNS for just 15ringgit... great deal huh... after that, i went to join my sis doing facial... crap! why i couldn't stop putting more damage to my skin??? huhhhhh..... i already knew my skin is so sensitive to facial... but i still love doing it.. i suppose i just love the relaxing feeling of laying down being pampered, having my face massaged with whatever products were put on and sometimes the girl would massage my head as well and at the end some of them will massage my back and that's really really pampering... i think my skin is sensitive to the painful whitehead extraction... ewwwwww..... i'm badly cursing whoever invented that extraction method grrrr.... most of the time it'll left me with red bumps on my cheeks area right after the facial, and now i can feel 2 spots on my skin dushhhhh! :mad: and only God knows when i can finally get rid off the scars it left me with blughhhhh..... last time i had facial, saja gatal2 i tried the collagen facial and guess what, my cheek was full with small bumps and it was ugly ok! i swear to myself to not go to facial ever again albeit the relaxing time... butt i'll consider if one does not use the typical whitehead extraction method... any recommendation anyone?
