My first driving lesson~

I had my first ever lesson yesterday at 12.15pm and it was sooooo exciting and scary at the same time!

We talked about cars first and things like that for around 20 mins and then he let he drive a bit and then I even got to use Gears 1,2,3 ><

It was a really lovely feeling at the end! Now am really excited for my next one! Tomorrow I have another lesson with another teacher at 9.30am :/ sooo early !!!

Choosing the right shade of foundation and concealer !!

It is actually so hard!! Recently I went into Boots and there was just hundreds of different kinds and shades!!

Foundation:
For me as an Asian! Never go for a brand that only has Light,Medium or Dark! The medium is far to dark and makes your skin look horrible!! Go for collections that have a range of different shades!
The best shades are ivory or beige! But be careful, different brands may have slight differences! Best advice is to try the testers on you jawline and see if it blends well! The best are the ones that you only see a slight change in your colour tone(or no change).
Another tip is that Asian skins have slight yellow undertone so choose something with a slight yellow in it (not too yellow).
I would suggest liquid foundation for beginners as they are easier and tinted/sheer foundation for those who have clear healthy skin!

Concealer:
There are two types, the stick or liquid type! I have tried both and they both work pretty well if you choose a good brand! Don't go for ones that are less than £2!(my suggestion).
Now the shade, for under eyes and blemishes; go for something with a pink undertone to blend better!! It doesn't have to be the same shade as the foundation because you put on the concealer on before so going for something lighter will be fine!

For me:
I currently use Bourjous-Paris- Healthy Mix Foundation(Beige)
And
Rimmel London- Hide the Blemish Conclear(Sand)
I say currently because I like to experiment in Comestic store and don't be afraid to ask(that's what they are there for xDx)

Summer Vacation!!!

I recently finished my last exam so my summer vacation has started and to be honest it is going dreadfully slow....

It's been nearly 5 days now and I have done a lot of of things such as going out with friends, shopping, volunteering and having fun but something is missing!

I suddenly realised then, I missed the business of school life so I started looking for jobs and applying online but no luck yet! Hopefully something comes up soon!

So to make it fun, I have started cross-stitching and reading books that I just never had a chance to read it!

I am currently reading A thousand splendid suns and Pied Piper which are both masterpieces! The authors are Khaled Hosseni and Nevil Shute whom I admire both very much as they are wonderful storytellers!! If you have the chance, you must read Kite Runner and A Town Like Alice as they are beautifully written!! I cried in both books!

I also got some shoes~ aren't they cute and pretty heehee

Travelling South today~

I had my Art exam at 1pm today~ it's was a good exam, I think :)

I wrote about Fashion designers: Issey Miyake and Elsa Schiaparelli! I adore Miyake because of his technology-driven clothing designs!! His perfum and clothing lines are just awesome^^ On the other hand Elsa Schiaparelli shaped fashion into what it is today creating patterns for the designs to come :)

For my Art Design, I wrote about Salvador Dali and Stephen Campbell. Dali is one weird and outrageous guy and Campbell has a eerie feeling to his paintings^^

After my art exam, friends came to pick me up and off I go to Birmingham~ it is very warm!! The Travellodge is unbearable but only a few days~ can't wait to tour tomorrow^^
