Shopaholic Holiday

Merry Christmas all!

I am going to Singapore on tonight (Yes! Christmas night) and will then leave to Hong Kong on the 28th, spend two days with my parents (and my lil bro) and then they'll leave me to meet up with my other friends who will arrive on the 31st, NEW YEAR'S EVE! (Btw, have you guys seen the movie? Pretty average, similar to Valentines Day. Sarah Jessica Parker and that young man was a horrible pairing)

We will stay up on the first night to watch the fireworks for New Years over the Victoria Harbor. My friends and I will be spending 4 days together in HK going to The Peak, Ocean Park and of course shopping!
Basically just shopping, shopping and more shopping really. I hope to be able to share with you my hauls, and maybe even some vlogs, no promise here but it's a thought. Sasa, the famous HK beauty shop is a must go-to place. I have been saving up with so much effort I really hope it will pay off. Been working very hard so I do believe I deserve it. :D

After HK I will go catch a train up to Guangzhou (by myself! I must add) which is 174 km away, equivalent to 108 miles. I will stay with my relatives there and do some more shopping, mainly clothes, not make-up since it's mainland China, you can't trust what they put into the make-up. I'm also really excited about spending Chinese New Year which is on the 23rd of January. It will have such an amazing atmosphere over there, back here in Australia we have only an uncle and so there's not much cheer and crazy family warmth when it's Chinese New Year. Whenever I go to China I can feel the family warmth even when it's not CNY so the fact that I'm going to be spending CNY there is an added bonus, I have never spent CNY there before (at least no memories of such).

Bu Bu Jing Xin

步步惊心
The best drama I have ever seen! With so much meaning, a plot with more than just silly teenage love but with added brotherly conflicts towards the royal throne. I highly highly recommend it! The story-line is so sad yet beautiful!

Watch it at viki.com, it has English subs, plus it's free! The only thing making you regret watching it is the sad emotional impact it has on you in the end even thought it's not a super devastating ending. 

The drama costume is really enchanting too! The actresses and actors are all very beautiful and handsome! I really cannot praise this enough!

From Wikipedia

Bubu Jingxin is a Chinese television series based on a novel of the same title by writer Tong Hua (simplified Chinese: 桐华; traditional Chinese: 桐華). Filming for the series started on 6 December 2010 in Shanghai and wrapped up on 22 March 2011. It was first aired in China on HBS on 10 September 2011.

It's about a girl from the modern age getting pulled back into the past during the imperial reign, after a car accident involving lightning.

More from Wikipedia
The producers have reportedly claimed that the television series will remain faithful to the original story by Tong Hua, but with a new ending. In the novel, Ma'ertai Ruoxi is unable to return to her own time and ultimately succumbs to her illness, while the Yongzheng Emperor dies years later in hope of reuniting with Ma'ertai Ruoxi in death. However in the series, after Ruoxi and Yongzheng die, the former's soul returns to her incarnation in the 21st century. While struggling to get over the trauma from her experiences in time traveling, she ultimately meets a man who resembles Yongzheng, possibly a present-day incarnation of the Yinzhen. Despite the fans' anticipation that there will be a romantic involvement between them, they did not fall in love. Instead, Zhang is heartbroken as she realizes that her romance with Yinzhen is truly over, and his appearance merely gives her necessary closure to move on with her life, yet the story has a sad ending.


Must watch! If you are into ancient Chinese dramas this will be the very best of them, or if you're just interested in knowing what ancient China was like this will give you a great insight to it with a modern twist. It's so cute how the main character Ruo Xi does the 'OK' sign and the 13th prince doesn't understand.

Victoria's Secret Hair

Not only are they famous for their gorgeous bodies and of course beautiful faces, but also for the luscious curls.  

Love their hair but look at those beautiful lips! The colour is such a girly pink

Amazing golden curls 

Sexy makeup and hair! Full of volume!

Blast of volume!

Look at all that beautiful curly hair!

Behind the scenes of the VS show, getting hair and makeup done

Loving the side fringe, take note: they're all on the left which means they may be perceived as intelligent, in-charge and reliable according to the hair parting theory in one of my previous posts 

Spanish Beauty: Clara Alonso. I love the red lip! The hair is also ultra dreamy

Here are some golden beauties

Love the messy look!

Look at that golden shine!

They're all curls, VS hair style = long, down and curly

                                                             But Asian hair is different to Caucasian hair, not just simply the colour but most importantly the texture. Working with Asian hair is different to working with Caucasian hair. Here are the two Chinese supermodels on 2011's Victoria's Secret Show: Sui He (LEFT)and Lui Wen (RIGHT). Rather disappointing compared to the other VS models, most probably because the hairstylist there don't know how to work with Asian hair. This is also why I never go out to get my hair done at the hairdressers here in Australia, I have long hair, I can wait until I go back to China to get it done. Which is what I am doing, getting it permanently dyed and curled in a air salon in Guangzhou, China. Between the two Asian beauties I do believe Su Hei is the more beautiful model. Their faces may not be the most beautiful Asian faces but their bodies sure are. 

Really really curly hair (ie. beach babe curls) for Asians only look good for fashion shoots and runways. For everyday hair,smaller and lesser curls are better since it's more natural looking. After all, curly hair isn't what any Asian is born with.  The curls below are perfect! I just need to continue growing out my hair!

Here are the two Asian hairstyles, plus the one with the girl in the JB hat, that I really like but requires very long hair. My straight hair is the same length as their hair curled which means when mine will be curled, it will be inevitably shorter than what I desire.
