Favorite Pattern and Personality

Nowadays, clothes come in many kinds of patterns; Starting from solid until the strongest pattern like animal print. I have just read an article in www.helium.com that actually the pattern we like is related to our personality. Interesting, isn’t it? Let’s find out whether our favorite pattern really represents who we are.

• Solid means that you are such a mysterious person and you give nothing away. I think it’s almost right. I’m in love with solid pattern but I’m not that mysterious. Instead of being mysterious, I tend to keep or even hide my feeling. Even though I’m sad or having problems, you still can see me smile and laugh as if nothing happens.

• Stripes. If you like vertical stripes, it means that you are the kind of person who knows what you want and don’t feel hesitate to go after it. Assertive and ambitious, that’s you. Meanwhile, for those who like horizontal stripes (like me ^^), they are considered to initiate something confidently. Also, they have the beliefs in things that they can do. Hmm…okay, it’s almost correct again.

• Polka dots represent someone who is full of energy. Even though they look very playful fun and happy, they actually can focus on things even very focus. Being able to do multiple tasks and doing lots of things at the same time are their powers.

• Floral prints. Such a sweet pattern, isn’t it? Yes, ladies who like this pattern are described as someone who has a touch of sophistication. However, they are easy to approach and tend to be warm in nature.  Moreover, they can bring the crowd along with them.

• Animal prints show creativity. So, people who enjoy wearing leopard tops, snakeskin boots or zebra striped dresses are considered to be creative leaders who owns some connections with Mother Nature. They are also willing to grab chances and ready to make bold statements.

So, that’s it. The relation between patterns and personality. Do you agree with it? Does your favorite pattern really describe who you are? For me, well…in general, they describe who I am, but not that 100% correct xoxo

Best Eyeliner for You

When we do our make-up, we can't leave eyeliner behind. It helps our eyes to look more attractive and sharp or even it can make your eyes look smaller or bigger. If you wanna try to use eyeliner for the first time, you need to know types of eyeliner before deciding to buy it.

Types of Eyeliner

• Eyeliner Pencil has many kinds of colours. Since it is relatively easy to use and some of them aren't water proof, it is the best choice for beginners. However, the color produced won't be as thick as the other types of eyeliner. So, if you're still trying to boost your confident in using eyeliner, you should use it. 

 

• Liquid Eyeliner is for a more professional user. It requires a steady hand to create such a flawless line like Cleopatra's eyes. The color produced of course is stronger than the eyeliner pencil. When you decide to use it, make sure you prepare some make up remover just in case you make mistake while drawing the line. This eyeliner becomes "the goddess" for make-up artists. 

• Gel Eyeliner comes in a gel texture and packed in a pot. How to apply it? You need to use a small brush. Similar to liquid eyeliner, gel eyeliner requires technique. Once you have mastered it, it will be easy to use. Moreover, it can create such a bold line. If you wanna have catlike eyes, you can also use this.

• Solid Gel Automatic Pencil is more portable and convenient than gel eyeliner. Yet, the use of it may not as easy as pencil eyeliner. It is usually more vibrant and darker. The good thing of this eyeliner is it is long-lasting. 

•  Eye Shadow Eyeliner needs a small, angled make up brush when you wanna apply it. This eyeliner doesn't work when you put it along the waterline area on your eyes. Apply it along the lid lines. You can also combine it with liquid, gel or pencil eyeliner to create such a dazzling look. 

Now you already know the types of eyeliner. Choose the one that you like most and get ready to make your eyes look extravagant. Here are some samples of eyeliner forms, hope it will help you :)

Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman

Yes, the title of this post reminds me of a song sung by Britney Spears long time ago, I think I was still in senior high when I listened to this song for the first time. Not bad though since it shows that as a woman, I have undergone this stage. And now it's your turn, my dear little sister :)

Back to the past for a moment. I met her when I was still working in my office at that time. I remembered our first meeting. The first impression I had was she was smart, talkative and tomboy. We became closer and closer and I was sad when I decided to resign from my job since I wasn't able to meet her again. It turned out that God didn't let me feel such feeling too long. I was given an opportunity to meet her again YEY! 

From teacher - student relationship, now I think our relationship has become more like older sister - younger sister relationship. But I'm glad that I can feel being a sister for her. The most important thing besides helping her study is that I, at least, can help her a little bit to be a more feminine girl. Even though it is kinda hard for her but slowly she has shown some changes and I'm proud of her :)

I wanna help you with some ideas for your style in the future. I hope you like them xoxo
