Korean lollies

Got these rock shaped lollies at a Korean shop in Clayton =DAren't they cute?
They are actually chocolates..

I told my bf that I'd hide a real rock inside a bunch of these one day and give them to him to eat.

I then proceeded to laugh hysterically for 5 minutes.

He wasn't impressed -_-

I love these.. they aren't price and are super easy to use and lasts all day ^_^ The style perfect pen eyeliner

I bought this coz I've saw this pro japanese make up artist use something similar..
However the formula in this one isn't too dark

I guess it's not too bad for everyday make up.. not too great either tho

Oven pop blusher in No. 2 Peach.

Haven't tried it yet.. hmmmm.. must go find some tutes..

And finally...


Heat up Teddy!!

Isn't he just adorable.. I saw him sitting on a table looking lonely so I took him home ;)

He's got the most adorable fat tummy and short arms and legs. There's this wheat bag inside him that you heat up and then u can use him as a kind of a heaty thing that you hug when its cold.

And the packaging with his head and arms sticking out was just too cute =D

Something fucked up

Introducing.... the "toe-G - where no barefoot occasion goes undressed!"

I kid you not, this is taken from the product website:

"toe-G is a unique new form of lingerie for the feet that has been designed for use during those barefoot moments when shoes are not the right look but a bare foot seems so under dressed"

Examples of toe-Gs:

Isn't this the most fucked up thing you have ever seen? Marketing some foot fetish product as mainstream attire....

OMG...

And in an even more fucked up venture they have a line of toe-Gs for KIDS... WTF!!!

ewwwwwwwwww~!~~~!!!!!!!

Asian eyes + plastic surgery

For most people that know me, they will probably know that my biggest body issue is to do with my eyes.

I think for most of my younger teen years I've been pretty obsessively pissed at how small my eyes are (what can i say.. .i was an impressionable young girl =S ), and its only in recent years (with the discovery of make up - the holy grail) that I've begun to "get over" this obsession.

I seems (in my opinion) that no matter what your other features look like (flat nose, thick lips etc) as long as you have fair skin and big eyes then you are automatically considered "quite ok". Well.. at least in the majority standards (i *think*).


Back then, i found out about something that seemed to be the answer to all my prayers: asian eye surgeries which make eyes appear clearer, brighter, and.. BIGGER.


There are two different types of this surgery.

Firstly, Asian Blepharoplasty, commonly known as "double eyelid surgery" which creates a fold on the top eyelid, which around 50% (????) of asians don't have. This "opens up" the eyes, and makes the eyes look bigger. It also makes make up application easier. In asia this surgery is really popular.


You can see it in action here:http://www.drmeronk.com/asian/asian-eyelid-operation.html .
(Be warned its pretty graphic and gross).


You very rarely see a monolidded female asian celebrity and even if you do it seems that once they reach a certain popularity they disapear for a few months and once they come back their eyes are miraculously different.

This is Elva from ages ago. (To be fair this is a pretty bad picture)

This is Elva recently. Note the miraculous change in her eyes.

Of course, this change may not necessarily be surgery. Better make up artist (highly unlikely given the very obvious crease in the second picture), or, a softer approach for those people who are terrified of going under the knife, could be something known as double eyelid glue/tape. Double eyelid tape (or glue) gives the same effect as double eyelid surgery. The glue works by sticking ur upper eyelid together, and forcing a crease into the eye.


The only downside is the glue needs to be reapplied everyday and it may lose affect after a while.

Another asian eyelid surgery, which is less well known than double eyelid surgery is one that actually "stretches" your eyes bigger (sounds disgusting). Not really sure what it is called in English but what they basically do is cut open the corner of your eyes so that your eyes are able to open wider (I've always wondered if someone would take this too far and their eyelids would be stretched so much their eyes will pop out).

Example here (http://www.docterhe.com/).


I used to search religiously for pictures of asian celebrities who have had eye surgery done, coz the results are well.. pretty amazing.




See.. huge transformation right.

Anyways, in recent years I think I've started to 'get over' the big eyes thing. I've found out that my eyes aren't actually THAT small, and there are plenty of make up tricks that can be done to make asian eyes look awesome (thanks to youtube.. ha ha). I've also realized that a lotta awesome looking people don't. actually. have. huge. eyes. Hmm.. what can i say.. i guess i was blinded by the superficial big eyes light.

Anyways.. isn't it interesting that cultures always seem to like what is difficult to obtain. In times when food was scarce, plump women were considered beautiful, but now when food is plentiful we have all these people starving themselves for beauty.


Btw, I'm not advocating plastic surgery - I think it's up tottally up to personal choice unless you have one of those freaky addictions like that woman who looks like a cat (how did she get a boyfriend i really don't know). It's been said that big eyes to asians is what big breasts are to westerners - considered beautiful to the majority, but yes also a matter of taste.

Japanese eye make up

While I don't care too much for Japanese fashion (perhaps due to my poor outfit co-ordinating skills) I'm starting to really LOVE the way they do their eye make up.

Perhaps having only seen western methods of doing eye make up most my life.. which we all know only works on a select lucky few of those asian eyes.. (my friend went to have a "make over" done at one of those counters only to end up looking like she had a black eye from all the eyeshadow and crap they piled on)....

Anyways, here are some of my favorite looks, found from random places across the internet.





And here is a look I'm not so keen on..

Look where her real eye ends.. and how far they dragged the eyeliner down... o_O!!

Maybe she can fool someone from a distance that her eyes are realy that big.. but I think if u look up close it looks kinda freaky and gross o_O
