Top 10 Beauty Guru in YouTube

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
"Hey, your mum is pretty!"
"Aw...thanks! I will tell her you said so!"
"I guess you look like your father then"
Above conversation is between my friend and I. It takes me few hours to realize what it really means. Pretty mean, right?

Beauty is a beautiful or pleasing thing or person, in particular.

For me, beauty isn't all about what we look like physically but also how we think and act. Inner beauty lasts the most in people's mind. What we appear not necessary represent who we are. Don't judge a people simply because of how he/she looks like. Be kind and understanding. You will be the prettiest just by a simple smile! Don't save your smile, use them wisely!

Outfit of the day + outfit ideas (forever 21 style)

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Outfit 4 (Forever21 Style)

What are you going to do on summer?

Do you have plans already?

Do you think of hanging out with friends? Or going to the beach?

Forever 21 is everywhere and easy to find! I get so excited just by looking at these clothes on their site(You can see that from how many exclamation marks I used in this post XD)!  Everything there are just perfection! Words can hardly describe my feelings. I want to own all if them and I am not even kidding.

pictures from forever21.com

This look is so 'appropriate' for summer! And beach!
The swimsuit is white, crochet and high-neck which you can see at everywhere for the high-neck trend. These elements make it stand out of the other bikinis. The white color is able to make your tanned skin appears darker. People always put like a cardigan/ kimino on a bathing suit. Seeing that this swimsuit has nice top, why not show it off? Add a maxi skirt as a cover on. This sheer southwestern print maxi skirt makes this whole outfit suitable for either at beach or go shopping at the mall, just put on a pair of white lace up boots and you will be good to go. Of course, when you're at the beach, no shoes is needed. Enhance your appearance with a sunglasses to protect your precious eyeballs!

pictures from forever21.com
Want to hang out with friends?
I am in a black and white color mood when I am picking up clothes for this casual nonetheless well-dressed. This white tops go flawlessly with this grey tie dye skirt. A  mini black fedora hat to augment this classy style. The hint of gold from the mini shoulder bag and the ankle strap heels as the highlights of the look. For this look, I don't want to have jewelry because I want the gold color to pop in this quite look. The tie dye skirt is to add more life to this outfit as there are only black, white and gold. I absolutely love this shoes because I think it is so unique and very chic to wear on. The mini sized of the bag just add some cuteness while providing space for you to only bring  essentials in it. Don't try to overpack stuff in your bag since you're going to carry it everywhere and you don't want to feel the pain from your shoulder when you're having fun.

pictures from forevr21.com

I match a trendy sleeveless black crochet crop top and the printed harem pants to create a simple yet somewhat presentable outfit. I had noticed that I don't really cooperate long trousers in my 'outfit of the day' series, so this will be it. Some people might think that printed clothing is out of their comfort zone however it is easy to style with if you give it a try! For the accessories, I choose a hat with flowers on it or a colorful bracelet. Isn't them sound summer-y? Ah... forever 21 shoes are the best! The black cut out boots is a must-haves if you're thinking to invest in a good quality of boots. If you want to keep things down, try a nude or pinkish sandals. You can add rings and midi rings of your choice to enrich your look!

All of the clothing items mentioned above are from forever21. You can get them at their stores, too.

Find Outfit 1(asos style)here, Outfit 2(dailylook style)here and Outfit 3(topshop style)here.

This is the end of my ootd series, hope you guys have find some inspirations and have a nice day!

Outfit of the day + outfit ideas for crop top

Outfit 3 ( Topshop Style)

Ta-da!!! Outfit 3 is here!!!
Now, I know that topshop can be pricey but you can totally take a look at these outfit ideas and recreate one by using what you have! Simply, take innovations from here! 

above pictures are from topshop.com

In this post, I will used the well-known and popular Crop Top! 
It is a must have for every teenage girl, and I bet you have one hanging in your closet, too.
Here is how I would wear them:

Printed pattern crop top
I will wear a midi skirt since I think a midi skirt itself looks formal and feels 90's. But, I love this because you're not exposing too much of your skin and the coral orange-y color just put people's eyes on you. I choose a nude platform because you have already a lot of color going on and you want the attentions to remain on your outfit and not your shoes!

Denim crop top
Denim is always in trend, if you ask me. It is a classic. Before we were born, denim is already a big thing in fashion. This black scuba skirt that I preferred, is flattening at the upper part and gradually flares out at the end of the skirt. This will gives the illusion of skinnier legs and this skirt can be pair with multiple clothes! Because this look is a little bit too boring for me, so I decided to add a fun and metallic silver chunky cut out boots. You can always add some jewelry and accessories to spice out this look! A gold body chain are going to make this look more complete.

Off the shoulder crop top.
I went with a black one seeing that the color scheme will be suitable for fall and winter as well. We know it is summer already, therefore to make this outfit summer ready, a lemon print skort is well needed! Skort is shorts that looks like a skirt! I think it is extra comfortable to wear a skort instead of a skirt and also give you that feminine looks from the skirt's characteristic. Are you going to beach this summer? If you do, what shoes do you wear to the beach? Heels? Come on, girl! Let's face the truth, heels is great but isn't a sandal is much more suitable? Wanna to look stylish even when you're at the beach? This patent geek shoes is here for you! Firstly, it is a flat, so you can walk smoothly at the beach side. Secondly, isn't it cute? I personally love this shoes as it is cute and chic-looking.

Simple crop top
Well, everyone have this! Choose a distressed shorts to make it more real. I love the worn out shorts and the acid wash shorts too. Mother's jeans is back in style and honestly, mother's jeans are more loose-fitting and easy to wear compared to a skinny jeans. Another style? Throw on an overalls over this crop top! And I picked the black Razor Sole Shoes to keep this outfit simple and casual. You can wear this if you're out with your friends or to a shopping spree!

You can get everything from the TOPSHOP.

Check out Outfit 1(ASOS style) here, Outfit 2(dailylook style) here.

Do you enjoy it? I am doing a FOREVER 21 style for the next outfit! Please leave a comment and have a nice day!

Ultimate Skincare Guide for Teenager + My Skincare Routine


Teenage Skin? How?
First thing first, you must know how to clean your skin. I have reviews about few facial cleansers, feel free to check it out facial cleanser reviews. If you wear makeup, make sure you wash them off completely with either a cleansing oil or makeup remover wipes. I recommend cleansing oil because it honestly cleanse all the waterproof makeup and leave your face fresh. Tips: wash your face with lukewarm to cold water to minimize your pores and pad your face until it dries with a clean towel or tissue.

Then, second step is to use a toner. Is it necessary, using a toner? Yes! It helps you to exfoliate your skin's dead cells and remove dirt on your skin! Use a cotton wipes to apply this. For me, I use Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray  instead of a regular toner. If you can't find it, I also suggest bio-essence miracle bio water! Both of them are my favorites to use! They are both spray, so it is faster and much easier. Pad it on your face and you're done! I can see my face brighter after using them! Do I have any recommendations for regular toner? To be complete honest, you can see I hardly buy any of the regular toner because I think the spray is more efficient and they work fine. Clean & Clear's toner sucks, hated it. Simple's toner makes my skin produces a lot of oil. But, many people do like it.

Next, we have sunscreen here! As a teenager, I don't really know what is the importance of sunscreen until I came across to few articles of it. If you want your skin to remain young and slow down the aging process, you probably want to start using it now! Plus, they prevent you from skin cancer that caused by UV rays! Even a baby is suggested to use one. What are you waiting for? In the market, you can find loads of sunscreen but not everyone works. Let me tell you how to find one! Don't buy those sunblock that is suitable for your body to apply it on your face. Buy the one which says for your face. I am currently using Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer with sunscreen SPF 50+. Love it because it won't leave my skin looking white. I don't like sunscreen that leaves your whitens your skin because sometimes you put it on and you didn't blend it nicely, you will end up with some awkward white patches all over your face. Trust me, I had been there.

And last but not least, you guess it, moisturizer! Everyone know this is important but do you add them as your daily routine? Hey, if you don't know already, our body is made up of 70% water! Can you imagine your skin without the presence of water? Maybe you can, but I can't.
The thing you need to aware is that don't choose something that contains alcohol. As I said, alcohol dries up your skin. We don't really need moisturizer which is anti-aging since our skin are still young and you don't wanna the firming and stretching feelings on your face, right? You want your face to be hydrated. If you have oily skin type, use a lighter moisturizer. Use a heavier moisturizer if you're a dry skin type. Buy moisturizer that suitable for you. Test and try, test and try until you find one. Some moisturizer like mine, have SPF in it which is awesome but it will not be suitable for nighttime use. There is not need to buy moisturizer that is pricey and famous. High-end products may not work for your skin. But moisturizer that hydrates your skin. Teenager skin just only need hydration and cleansing.

*If you have acne problems, I highly recommend you to see a dermatologist. The price will be definitely worth for your skin's future.

Eye cream for teenager?
You can use it but it is design for adult or more mature skin. For teenager who normally wear eye makeup, you should use an eyecream to really rewards your eyes and give them a little spa.

What about face mask?
Once in a week is enough if you want. Don't use it often except the product is written there that it can be used daily. If not, don't! Masks are usually stronger and more intense, so it is a waste of money and it will hurt your skin if you use them everyday. I suggest you to used clay mask cause it is good for deep cleansing, use it once in awhile.

Serums/ Essence?
Most of them are expensive but you can use them as well.

Hope it helps! If you have any questions, feel free to comment down below!

Outfit of the day + outfit ideas part 2

Outfit 2 (Dailylook Style)

Hello there,
Okay, this outfit is not necessary for summer wear but you can totally rock them on summer!
This time, I make some recreations from http://www.dailylook.com/.
This website is very big and it is pretty hard to choose as you can't really try it. I must said that I like dailylook because they have multiple photos for the products and have ways to style it.

pictures from dailylook.com
This white color dress is on sale! So, I think it is best to choose this.

You can really do a lot if things with basic white dress. You can wear them all year. This dress has cut out at the shoulder which make it summer-suitable! I didn't not put something over it because I think it can stand up itself. But you prefer something on it, you can go for kimono, leather jacket and cardigan. 

For the edgy look, 
I choose a hand clutch, it has a strap as well. Clutch is a good investment since it can be used in multiple outfits especially if you choose the black one. For me, black goes with anything!.
To add a pop of color, I think a statement necklace is a must! This statement necklace will make your whole look more interesting and cheerful. In my opinion, statement necklaces also can go with normal plain color t-shirt. 
The buckled gladiator will looks nice on your feet and matches perfectly with this dress. This gladiator didn't go all the way up to your knee so, it is much more suitable for daily styling. Likewise, it works as a sandals too!

For the everyday look,
I absolutely adore the bracelet because the color is neutral, so it is easy to style. Plus, it gives you the Bohemian feels!
Again, a pop of color on the accessories! If you're wearing a black or white outfit, here's a tips for you!
Just add something that catches and attracts attention, just like bright neon colors. You can go black and white with your whole outfits and put a bright red lipstick! That's how it works! Yes, that simple!
The bag is big and you can put everything in there. It will be handy if you're a student or worker :)
You can fit in your file and iPad that couldn't fit in a small purse.
As I said, neutral goes with anything, that's the reason why I choose this heels! I really love the ankle strap that make your feet look smaller and skinnier.

All of the about product can be easily find at http://www.dailylook.com/.

Find outfit 1(asos style) here.

There will be Outfit 3 and 4! Please leave a comment! Have a nice day!

Outfit of the day + outfit ideas(Summer Edition)

Summer is just around the corner and yes I am going to style some OOTD(s) specially for summer.

Not everyone will really have the money to but new clothing and go for a haul whenever you want. But the truth is some trends can usually modify according to what you have in your closet. You don't need to buy
something from an expensive store just to feel 'fab'!

Learning to switch something from the other seasons to the current season is very crucial if you don't want to spend an abundance of cash just to buy something that will be a great vogue for a short time. You should really buy something that last you a long time and is worth investing. I am not saying that you should buy somethings that's costly and fancy. Doubtlessly, you can buy designer's clothes if you can afford it.

OUTFIT 1 (ASOS Style)
above pictures are taken from asos.com 

This outfit is indeed incredibly summer-RY!
Floral print dress is pretty self-explanatory and it is a classic to wear during summertime! It is a good deal as this piece of clothing will last you forever since floral print can be wear during all seasons!
The round frame sunglasses which is kind of old school looking will definitely make you seemed classy and protect your eyes away from harmful UV rays!
The shoe I pick up is this black truffle platform strap heeled sandals from asos.com  .
This pair of platform give you some height and also provide you a stronger look! They also keep you toes free!
If you wanted to add some touch to your look, just wear a pair of socks with some ruffle underneath the platform to make it more cute and feminine.
Plain pastel color bag of your choice but make sure it is small, so you can carry it around!
Gold bracelet to make it more metallic as you already have a lot of colors on your clothes.

All of the pieces above are from http://www.asos.com/women/. You can get them at this site. I figured out it might be easier to find because you can get all the things you one in just one site!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own those pictures. The pictures are from asos.com. I edit the pictures to create a look. I am not sponsored by anyone.

Outfit 2, 3 and 4 will be posted continuously within this week!

How to study for finals? Tips and tricks

There will be no easy way to achieve something you want by doing nothing.

"How to get straight A's or just pass in an exam?"

"How to pass an exam easily?"

"How to study fast for an important exam?"

I often google this kind of questions. I read articles and articles of how to study but really the things is start from you! Yeah, it might be easy to say but if you're interested to really get an A's in high school, you should begin to love studying. Do what you love and you will love what you do. Maybe you might say, "studying isn't my thing!" but you must understand that gaining knowledge can make your life easier and you can get a better job.

Now, study come with examination. I, myself do not agree in examination but it is a way to prove that you have certain knowledge. But how to study? I am a straight A's student and I am not genetically smart or what. I just start to focus on my study after my elementary/primary school.

I have found some way to study that work for me:

1. Focus when teachers are teaching

Yes, it might sound simple but it works the best! In every examinations, when I can't answer the questions, I will start to rewind my memories when the teacher is teaching. A lot of times, it helps. Of course, I will sometimes can't remember a thing because I can't really understand. So, the main point is understand. The problem is you might be shy to ask teacher what you don't understand. What you can do is go back home and search on internet. We should embrace our power of technology(haha). YouTube is a site where you can go and search. There are always people uploads the 'things' you don't understand  and they're pretty awesome. They work like a home tutor but you can't really ask them questions which is one of their weaknesses.

2. Do the past year papers

This method works miracle if you're a lazy people just like me! The past year papers can tell you clearly about the format of the test you're taking. Besides, it give you a main idea what kind of questions it is coming out. Sometimes, the questions might repeat, so it is a smart move to go through the papers. Also, just reading the past year papers is not enough if you're planning to read this and go for the exam without other preparations.

3. Do what the teacher ask you to do 

I don't really mean to do all your homework here. I want to said that teachers are kind, so a week or two before the examination, they will give us some tips when they're teaching. But not everyone is smart enough to identify. That's the reason why do whatever they gave you before the test. This trick might not work on some of the teachers as they might just gave clues from the beginning of the semester. They are more experienced teacher. Don't get me wrong, I am not here to analyse the teachers. I am just telling from my experiences. The point here is to go through every exercises if you met this kind of teachers. But some teachers are just like to challenge the students by coming out some rare questions, so understanding is very important.

4. Stop procrastinating 

"Procrastination is like a credit card, it's a lot of fun until you get the bill" by Christopher Parker.

I know it's hard because I think all of us procrastinate. It's not like we can control our brain and heart fully. We are not machine. What we can do is block out all the distraction. For example, I find it hard to study when my phone is sitting beside me. And I always hear my phone calling me to check my social media or just stroll through some feeds. I always said to myself that it won't take a lot of times but unfortunately it did!
So Eunice, how to stop procrastinating? I have few ultimate steps that you could try out:
STEP 1: study at midnight or time that you like to study and free from distractions(for me is midnight)
STEP 2: study with music (search for music to study)
STEP 3: eat, bath and do whatever before you study(so you won't have any reason to escape)
STEP 4: choose a place that you like to study, it can be in your rooms or library.
STEP 5: off your phone and put in a place where is far away from you(you can skip this if you don't                             procrastinate with your phone)
STEP 6: DO NOT EVER LET YOURSELF TO PROCRASTINATE NO MATTER HOW                                     ATTRACTING IT IS, IF NOT YOU WILL JUST KEEP PROCRASTINATING AGAIN AND AGAIN.
*step 2 do not work if you're listening to the song you love because you will probably just sing along with it.

5. Read out loud

This works for me and after my research with the top students in my school, they're using this method too.
I know it sounds weird but trust me it works!
Of course, don't force yourself to shout but just read the thing you wanted to study out loud. This way you can understand better while memorizing it. Kill two birds with one stone!
You should stay focus while reading it.
You can also try to explain it to someone or to yourself. Or read like it is a storybook. I swear this will be fun.

6. Ask yourself questions

When you're reading your textbook, you can summarize the one whole page of  texts into few points that you think are the main points. You can turn them into questions and write them into a post-it notes. Write the question at the front while answer at the back. This can be come in handy when you're doing a last minute revision. 

That's really the methods I used to overcome my finals and other examination. What about flashcards?
For me, flashcards is kind of time consuming and I barely even have time to write them. I also find it difficult to read something that has only a little information. What about notes? It works but if you're writing is not that pretty and well organized, then it is better of you to rather read the textbook or download the notes from internet. And group study never works for me since I am too distracted by my friends and chatting with them. Hope this might help you guys:)
