Copenhagen

Simple | Tea | Slow

I spent the first 5 days of my graduation trip with one of my university friends in Copenhagen, Denmark. In these 5 days, we did not rush to any tourist spot and were kind of going with the flow. Of course, we went to the famous spots and some museums in order to know the city more! But we gave ourselves a tea time every day! As a tea lover, it is such an excited activity for me:)

Besides, my friend was nice enough to accompany me every home decoration shop that I wanted to visit for a long time. People may say buying glasses or ceramic in the trip is probably a waste of space to the luggage. But to me, it just add a little bit more carefulness of carrying the luggage. The design there is simple, yet very sophisticated.

Definitely have to go back there sometimes in my life.

Wish I could spend a few years there!

Love,

As you all know from the previous blog post, I am really into navy blue eye makeup!
The faculty hood of my graduation gown is in navy blue so I wanted to match it with my eye makeup!
I am lucky enough to have Sue (Chief Beauty Expertise of TF Beauty HK) to do my makeup on my big day:)
Since I had to take a lot of photos with family and friends on that day, my makeup was a bit heavier than usual but it was really photogenic. The makeup lasts for over 12 hours as you can see from the last two pictures, it was taken when I got home around 12 a.m.!
Under the spotlight and natural sunlight, the sparkles in the eyeshadows shined beautifully and the blue mascara actually showed up!

Be playful about your makeup even it is your big day!
Special Thanks to Sue Lam from Tom Ford Beauty Hong Kong for doing this makeup:)

Tom Ford Noir Color Collection: Cream and Powder Eye Color in Night Sky

I have been wanting to try eyeshadow in the colour of navy blue for a long time.

It is because I know it would make my light brown eyes pop and stand out more than other colours.

This fall, Tom Ford Beauty has came out with a cream and powder eye colour called Night Sky.

Use the cream eyeshadow as a base, then add on the powder eyeshadow to create the starry night effect.

It is easy to blend and the pigmentation is good like usual.

You just cannot go wrong with Tom Ford.

Cannot wait to try other pieces from this collection in the coming Tuesday 17th November.

House of VANS in Hong Kong

After 5 days of working, I wanted to stay at home and rest in the weekend.

But this week, I went to House of VANS with Chantelle.

Of course I have to wear my favourite VANS slip on to there!

Did not expect too much because I just want to hang out with friend only.

It has got a little concert area, places for skating, art and street market.

I am interested in street market the most but it was really sunny outside:(
Although the street market was not really big, the products there are more unique than those I went before and I am really impressed!
We were chilling around and taking pictures around with a drink.

I do wish that Hong Kong can have more event like this because it would be really nice to chill there instead of always going to shopping mall and coffee shop!

Love,

Sonia

MAC Lipstick Diva Antics

Never owned any dark lipstick before because I am more of a bold and bright lipstick girl. Diva Antics is my first one!
My friend Chantelle (the lovely girl in the pic above <3) wanted a dark red lipstick so we went to MAC store to check some out. We are both wearing Diva Antics in the picture.
According to MAC official website, it is an intense reddish burgundy.

I always remember Diva but MAC has came out a amplified version of it called Diva Antics in the M∙A∙Cnificent Me collections.

So it would be more moisturized than the original one which is a matte finish.

When autumn comes, it seems like everyone started to wear dark lipstick but this is not my case.

I have no intention to buy the lipstick at the begining but after I tried it on my lips...why not? haha

I think this colour is good for the days when you want a more mysterious, seductive, vampy look!

Also when you are sick of wearing a sharp red lipstick for a night out, dark red is also an option. But for me, I would also wear in day time. Just do not be afraid of the colour!

A classy colour would not run out of style in any season in my opinion.

Do you dare to wear this kind of colour out?

Love,
Sonia
