Heart Attack

Never break a sweat for the other guys
when you come around I get paralyzed
and everytime I try to be myself
it comes out wrong like a cry for help

So I'm putting my defences up
'cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'll have a heart attack.

I'm in looove with Demi Lovato's new song. Whenever I become obsessed with a song, it will be played on full repeat until I absolutely cannot stand it anymore. Then I result myself in this frustrating dilemma on which song I should play next on my iPod (aka my next song victim       -insert evil laugh here-). Does this apply to anyone else? Or is it only me..
And because of my addiction to the song, I got inspired to do this outfit post haha. It's also my excuse to finally pull out my heart-patterned tights.

Due to being hindered by the cold vancouver weather, I haven't worn a somewhat girly outfit in awhile. And by girly, I mean having to trade my tights for jeans, and blouses for chunky knits. Being all bundled up gets sorta boring outfit-wise after awhile, as you probably have to end up wearing that same jacket over everything everyday. Fortunately, spring's fast approaching, which means generically cuter clothes .. oh my logic hah. I'm waving my early hello to pastel colours, lace, and crop tops!


'til next time!

Lip Popper & OOTD


Wearing: Geo Princess Mimi Almond Brown, Banila co Prime Primer, Lioele Dollish Veil Vita,  Holika Holika Luminous Silk, Lioele Highlighter BB Touch, Etude House Lovely Blusher in Orange, Etude House Surprise stick concealer shade 01,  Majolica Majorica quad eyeshadow, Kiss me pencil liner in brown and Kiss me Mascara


Ever felt like there is something missing to your look for the day? 
You want to keep your look simple but still want to add a little 'popping' factor into the equation? 
Well I got just the little trick for you!




All you need is a lip balm, a nude pink lip gloss and a lipstick!

I will be using my favourite Smith's Strawberry Lip Balm, Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple and a lip gloss I got on Sasa (it is from some brand called Mai Doll, I got three for a cheap price). 



First, coat your lips with a lip balm. I usually like to do this before I start on my make-up.

Two, coat the upper and bottom of your inner lip with your lip butter/lipstick,

And three, coat and blend your nude lip gloss with your lip colour!

This gradient lip look is great for a everyday wear and can also be fabulous for a more dressed up event. I like to play with my colours; coral makes it more fun and flirty while red/pink makes the look a little more docile and sweet. Have fun with it ;)!
