Chanel Makeup

Hello,

I recently visited a Chanel stand and was drawn in by the beautiful decorations, packing and layout of the boutique. Chanel embodies elegance, grace & sophistication. Their makeup artists are the most professional and friendly I've ever come across. We've all experienced makeup counter b*tches right? 

It's definitely a luxury brand, all their products are attached to high price tags. 

I walked out content with a concealer and face powder. Having a great face of makeup depends on beautiful skin. Just like building a masterpiece mansion requires perfect foundation. 

I would recommend you get the professionals to match your colours for you (if you plan to buy these online). Also, don't forget duty free shopping! All cosmetics are heavily discounted. 

So far I've been impressed especially with the powder. It's much more long lasting than my MAC setting powder and the packaging really does put a smile on my face. 

The concealer is similar packaging as the infamous YSL touché éclat; but the Chanel version is marketed as a concealer where as the YSL is more of a highlighter. Therefore, the Chanel one has more coverage (which I need!)

Sydney Part 2

Hello,

Here's further updates from Sydney. My life hasn't been so glamourous since I've been back at University so I'm reliving the good times through photographs. :-D

Sydney

Hello,

I've just had the most amazing week in Sydney! It's a beautiful, vibrant city and I am already looking forward to going back sometime soon. The main purpose of my trip was to attend the annual Australia Dental Students Association Convention which was held July 3rd - 8th. We stayed at the stunning Meriton World Tower. More photos to come :)!

Prep up in Peplum

Hello,

A quick post about peplum tops. I love them. I got myself the black one, they come in a variety of hues, patterns and textures. They are figure friendly and comfortable :) If you're an online shopper definitely have a look on asos.com.

Mobile update

Hello,

 I've managed to squeeze in a haircut & shopping in amongst juggling three phones (I'm working for my parents this week). Here are a few poor quality mobile snaps :). I'm contemplating a new Prada but hesitated on the colour choice. The beige Saffiano Leather Tote is what initially caught my eye, but the elegance of the black draws me in. I have a few days to make my decision.

I've been enjoying reading at the coffee shop on quiet afternoons. I highly recommend The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. It's an excellent self-improvement book for those who want to be in control of their life. 

This is after my appointment at the salon, nothing drastic just trimmed off some dead ends. :)

Post-hospital placement

Hello

I've finished one of the busiest weeks of the year. Long days in the hospital standing in operating theaters have taken their toll. I don't know how surgeons do this full time! In the past week I've learnt an incredible amount of dentistry. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to work alongside 'top-dog' maxillo-facial surgeons, oral surgeons, house surgeons, and the entire surgical team. They are all such inspirations and devote their career to improve the health and well-being of the general population.

After wearing scrubs and providing minimal attention to my appearance all week. I've dressed up for friday nights activities. The headband is coming off, but I thought it'd be nice for the snaps.
