Transformation! :D

A month ago I went to become a makeup model. I found this through the ads on some group in Facebook. I don't do this often so I'm quite excited about it. I took the KTM to KL Sentral then changed to the LRT to get to the Kelana Jaya Station at which she was waiting to pick me up. I was excited as this would be my first time being a practice make up model for bridal makeup. KYAAAA!! Bridal makeup! Awesome right? Well, to start things off, this post was supposed to be completed about a month ago. I know, I'm not supposed to procrastinate but I couldn't help myself. Now I'm going to put into words this awesome experience to share with you guys. I was extremely excited as it was only recently that I developed an interest in makeup. Before this, I was a tomboyish sort of girl. Even now, my daily makeup routine is a bare minimum. I prefer going for a natural look. My daily favourites are, first lip gloss, second concealer, and third eyeliner. These are the three things I never leave the house without. :D

So with that image of me in mind, imagine my shock and wonder when the makeover was complete. I tend to wear as little makeup as possible, even to dinners I usually just go with my daily routine or if I'm more hardworking, I add a little mascara to the end of my lashes. I'm really bad at putting on mascara, therefore I try to avoid mascara most of the time. I do put on some eye shadow and blusher if I'm attending a dinner. For one, I felt that there was so many added Steps. I also had fake eyelashes and double eyelid tapes on which made me blink my eyes really often as I'm not used to it. :) I find this experience really valuable due to the fact that I've managed to pick up a few tips and skills which I find really hard to learn through YouTube. I won't elaborate long about this. Just a simple summary. :D

The before and after! :) 

First, I learnt how to put on double eyelid tape. My eyes are actually double eyelid, but then its folded inward which makes it look like a single eyelid. The trick I learnt is to first put on fake lashes, and then attach the double eyelid tape. The fake eyelashes attached to my lower eyelid helps hold the upper eyelid up which then allows the tape to stay and not fall off once I blink my eyes. :) tadaaa! Also I learnt a new trick that since my skin is a combination where some parts are dry and some are not so dry, when applying foundation I would have to use a sponge and dab it into my skin in a circular motion, that way, the foundation would be evenly spread and it reduces my skin from producing more oil. :D truly it works for me! Now I don't have oily skin so much more often. Besides that, I also learnt on how to use the iron curlers, which I could never get a hang of before this. :/ Using a straightener is not a problem to me but then when it comes to a curler, it's disastrous in my hands! :D after watching them get my hair done, I finally picked up on how to use it. :)

There were so many steps that I cannot even remember how to do it but I forgot to bring my camera and so I only have the before and after. I didn't get to take a photo of the full process.. :/ well, there's always a next time. :) Now its photo time! My makeup artist is currently learning bridal makeup at Doris SP Aesthetic Makeup.. I will leave a link to her official site and you can check it out for yourselves. :D

The complete dinner makeup :P 

Celeste, my makeup artist! ^.^ 

That's all for now! TTFN! :D

[Review] Maleficent

Disney movies are always on my must watch list! :D So... Maleficent is of no exception! I was really excited to watch it! I finally watched it last Sunday with my family. I have to say that I absolutely adore the graphics and scenery. They're so beautiful! :D Also the way the story line is written is also wonderful. There were a few unexpected twists along the way which is what makes it wonderful and a good movie as well. For me, when I watched the trailer, I knew the storyline revolved around one of my all time childhood favourite fairy tale 'The Sleeping Beauty'. I knew this fairy tale by heart as it was one of my favourites and also that I have been read and read myself, the book about a thousand times over. heheh So without further ado, I'm going to go into analysing the story as well as telling most of the movie scenes. Thus, to those who haven't watched it yet, I give a fair warning of SPOILERS ALERT up ahead. Proceed if you wish to know before you have watched it. :P Here's the trailer.

Maleficent Official Trailer 3

So Maleficent was unexpected for me. Its storyline revolves around the disney fairy tale, 'The Sleeping Beauty'. Well, yeah it did revolve around it but with a twist. The director took it up another level by using the original fairy tale as a plot but only now the main character here is not Princess Aurora, well it still is in some parts, but rather it revolves around the guardian of 'The Moors', Maleficent. Maleficent is the guardian of The Moors, played by Angelina Jolie. Like all fairies she had wings but Maleficent, the guardian of The Moors, was no ordinary fairy, she is the strongest of them all. She had huge wings the colour of chestnuts and they dragged behind her when she walked. She had two huge horns on her head. However, despite all that, she looked beautiful. Maleficent was but a young girl when she met a boy who tried to steal from The Moors named Stefan. Stefan was a orphan and he lived in a barn. Everything started out so innocently, where they became friends, and later the closest of friends and then lovers. They grew and played together on The Moors. On her sixteenth birthday, Stefan told Maleficent that he was going to give her a gift, true love's kiss. They were both very young and blinded. Maleficent having grown up on The Moors had never encountered the nature of humans and their greed. After awhile, Stefan soon left Maleficent to find his place in the world. Years passed and Maleficent blossomed into a magnificent lady. One day, a king heard of this powerful creature who lives in The Moors. He wanted to kill it, but he failed. He then ordered his subjects to kill the creature with the reward of being the next king and marrying his daughter. Stefan was one of those people, sadly he was driven by greed. 

Stefan went back to The Moors with the intention of killing Maleficent. He spent a lot of time with her and slipped a concoction into her water so she would fall asleep. He tried to kill her but he couldn't. It was then that Maleficent experienced her first betrayal at the hand of one whom she loved. Since he couldn't bear to kill her. he decided to take her wings instead. When she woke she was devastated. Stefan brought back her wings and became the next king. However, he did not calculate the hatred he would stir up in Maleficent which caused his daughter to be cursed by her. It is here that you would see similarities in the movie and the fairy tale sleeping beauty. Princess Aurora was cursed by Maleficent as a baby that on her sixteenth birthday she would prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into a deathlike sleep forever which can only be broken by true love's kiss. Following the fairy tale, Princess Aurora was sent to live outside the palace and in hiding until her sixteenth birthday has passed. Her caretakers were three really clumsy but good hearted fairies. Also along her way she got to know Maleficent who was always by her side watching her with her faithful servant, Diavlo. As Aurora almost turned sixteen, here she met Prince Phillip, also similar to the fairy tale.  

The most unpredictable twist was the true love's kiss which saved Aurora from that horrible fate, instead of the prince kissing her, representing the true love's kiss, instead it was Maleficent that broke the curse which she placed upon the child. This tells us that true love is not only between lovers but it can be between anyone. I believe that true love is when one loves another truly and dearly with unconditional love. It couldn't have been the prince as he had only met her once, and that was probably love at first sight, but then he haven't even gotten to know her. Maleficent instead had known her since she was a baby. Maleficent in all her hatred towards Stefan loved Aurora dearly even though she nicknamed Aurora 'Little Beastie'. haha I find that nickname adorable.




I really really love this Disney Movie! I personally find it really interesting. :D Well, that's all for the review. What's your take on this Disney Movie, Maleficent?

[Review] Transcendence

In the beginning I didn't know about this movie. I only found out about it as I was at the cinema and have watched most of the movies.. >< I know I'm a cinema addict hahah but when I saw the poster to Transcendance, I decided to watch it based on the fact that one of my favourite actor, Johnny Deep, was acting in it. It was also a plus point that the movie was about AI (Artificial Intelligence). I'm a total techno geek hahah I love anything to do with technology. :)

Moving on, I expected this movie to also be the typical AI movie where humans install the AI and then they would feel threatened by the AI and try to shut it down but then the AI would retaliate by trying to annihilate the humans instead. However, this is really different. I thought this would be the same and stereotyped. I was proven wrong. This movie revolves around Dr. Will Caster and his life research which has caused him to be attacked by those who were against his reasearch.  In the end that caused him to have a chronic disease to which there is no cure. Right on his deathbed, his wife found a way to have his consciousness uploaded into the program of artificial intelligence. Follow the journey of these two individuals as they strive for unachieved greatness. They were made for each other, when she thought there was no way to save her love of her life, she found one that could make him immortal. Join them on their journey of hardships which is overcome by true love. Watch how the plot unfolds and how they take it through to the end. I would explain further but then it would be spoilers wouldn't it? ;) I'll leave the trailer link down below. :D hope you guys enjoy the movie as much as I do.
