Will having armpit hair become the next BIG thing for women?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I was watching <i>Chairlift</i>'s 'I belong in your arms' youtube video the other day and couldn't help but noticed lead singer Caroline Polachek's strip of underarm hair while she lifted up her arms to dance. I have started to notice quite a lot of female bands or musicians
showing off their unshaved armpits in the last year. Take American band <a href="http://www.girl-drive.com/2010/03/badass-feminist-band-those-darlins/" target="_blank"><i>Those Darlins</i></a> instance, all the band members take pride in their armpits. I first noticed this 'unshaved-armpit movement' in one of their music videos last year. That made me think.<br />
<br />
When I was younger, I would take trips to China during school holidays. I remember going to markets and shopping centres in the Summer time, and I would see women wearing sleeveless tops, bearing their bushy underarms to all. At that time I would just laugh at them inwardly and dismiss hair removal as a Western-world-culture-kind-of-thing.<br />
<br />
Is having an unshaved armpit feminist? Why is it more socially acceptable for men to grow their underarm hair (even though lots of men remove their hair now)? Why is it expected of a women to have a clean and hairless armpit? Who started this whole trend of hairless armpits? I'm sure women in the 1900s have underarm hair, unlike what is portrayed in today's period films. Since when did we decide that body hair looks disgusting and should be removed, when it acts to protect our body?<br />
<br />
I applaud Caroline and the girls from <i>Those Darlins</i> for what they have been doing the whole time, because I don't think I will even have the courage to do so. My first thought when I saw their underarms was "good on them!" I say be confident in what you do. It's only natural for us to have body hair. Why take away something that is supposed to be there in the first place? Why do we have to let society controls how we feel about our OWN body? I know, I know. Body image. Peer pressure. Acceptance. Blah blah blah. Who cares what others think?<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Last words</h4>
Men: Even though I say not to follow trends and be happy with yourself, sometimes it is good to trim down the armpit hair. No one wants to stand on a bus, tram or metro, in front of a big bush of messy armpit hair, especially when it's sweaty and full of odour.<br />
<br />
Everyone: Be bold, be daring, be beautiful, be happy & just be yourself!<br />

Enough with the peplum* trend already. I am so sick of seeing more women wear the peplum everyday, at work and on the streets. Most of the time I just don't think it works. Yes, I do admit that I actually really like the look of peplum tops and dresses. It does look flattering to the figure, and it creates the hour glass shape, which I always root for. It dates back to the 1940s, which is a plus for me because I like vintage styles. However, I think that it should belong only on red carpets, movie sets and celebrities (okay, I'll give you the occasional party or dinner too). Peplum is so unpractical for us today. The poofed out overskirt is so in-the-way of other things and restrictive to moving-abouts. You can't even wear a jacket over it in the colder months because you'll squash and crease the overskirt. Don't just follow the trend. <br />

<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
The confession</h3>
Quite recently I have caught myself spun into an online shopping frenzy. To fill you in on the history, I have started online shopping for <b>clothing</b> a few years ago. I wasn't satisfy with the clothes that the shops were offering, they were (and still are) expensive, cheaply made, and not my style, so I started looking at online stores. I would only make one or two small and cheap online orders every year, fearing that the items won't turn out the way I expected them to. I would look at things on the website wanting many of them but after placing the order I would stop thinking about them immediately. Before, one small online purchase could sustain me for almost a whole year. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Since early this year I have started to put in orders more frequently, and lately I have found myself placing one order every month. Each time, I would tell myself that this will be the last purchase that I am going to make. Then all things broke loose, I started to put in two orders in June. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that buying things is wrong or online shopping is bad for you. By all means, if you want to or feel the need to buy, you have the right to always buy whenever you like. But the whole shopping thing just contradicts and goes against my personal beliefs. Think to yourself, how many people live in poverty. Look at the kids in Africa, India and South America. I recently watched a documentary about poverty (watch the excerpt below). It featured a little Indian boy who can't attend school because he has to work in the quarry with his family for the rest of their lives to pay off a debt. How fortunate am I, I certainly do not need to throw my money away like this. I have a full closet of clothes and shoes, and I definitely don't need more. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I now find myself buying just to satisfy a sudden urge or to 'deal with
being depressed'. I have even started to loose that excitement while
waiting for the package to arrive. All the adrenalin goes into placing
the order, then when the button is clicked I no longer feel that I need
those items. I have identified a few reasons why <b>online shopping</b> is so appealing and addictive to me. I just don't buy in person at the shops anymore.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<ol>
<li>There is a risk involved. You may not get what you hoped fore, but you are willing to take a chance. It is all part of the thrill.</li>
<li>The feeling, excitement that you want to get when unboxing, knowing that you have made a correct decision in choosing the right size and colour for you.</li>
<li>You feel like you are getting a good deal, and that you won't see other people on the streets wearing the same clothes as you. </li>
<li>Items online seems to be cheaper because they don't have to add the cost of a physical store.</li>
<li>The clothes always look good on the models. Once you've seen the pictures, they'll linger in the back of you mind making you unable to forget how good the clothes look.</li>
<li>Most online stores are offering free delivery worldwide now, which make things more convenient and easy (worse for the shopping addiction).</li>
<li>Free returns, which makes it even worse because you give yourselves the excuse that you can try things on and simply return them if they don't fit or if you have changed your mind.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<h3>
The farewell</h3>
I feel that I must put a stop to this nonsense otherwise it'll lead to a
big ugly addiction. I can't be a slave to clothes and shoes, and I am
determined not to blow my paychecks (luckily I haven't done so like most
other shopaholics). Buying clothes do give you short boost of happiness but surely there are more worth while things to do. So I am stopping (hoping to) now while it's early. My friends and I have discussed this issue and found a solution. We
have decided that I will sponsor a child living in poverty and also unsubscribe from any
newsletters, promotions and sales from all online stores. The main problem that I end up buying things online starts with browsing. It may begin from either reading blogs, receiving newsletters or promotion deals in my email or by searching for a trend. The hardest part now will be to unsubscribe from websites like Urban Outfitters and Asos because it makes me feel like I am missing out. I can't even begin to explain how social media plays a huge role in this as well. Unliking those pages from Facebook won't be easy. <br />
<br />
<br />
Let me just end here with a picture of my last online purchase, a pair of pink brogues from Asos. Let's see how long I can actually hold my promise for.<br />

I for starters have been quite ill and busy with work, so I've been holding out this post for a few weeks. But we are back!<br />
<br />
<br />
Unless you're super rich and has loads of money to give away, you're not going to buy five items each day regularly and frequently. So for my Top 5 Best Buy today, I've decided to do an edition on the purchases I've made to date from <a href="https://www.urbanoufitters.com/" target="_blank">Urban Outfitters</a> (from which I mostly buy online). Online shopping is so popular and convenient nowadays, there are tones of websites to shop from. I particularly like Urban Outfitters because they are quirky, trend setting and full of street style, which I personally love. The miscellaneous household apartment stuff that Urban Outfitters offers are so fun to use.<br />

A shower timer with an inbuilt hourglass for 5 minutes countdown. It has a suction cup at the back for "easy installation". In the country where I live, there's a huge awareness on water conservation. Water to us is a limited resource, so I was really excited upon purchasing this handy timer so that I can waste less water and reduce my water bill aw well. Funny this. This product is so effective, it makes you shower to compete with the sand timer, trying to see who will finish first. I used it for two days (I won the race for every shower so far and I'm really proud of myself), then on the third day before I went to shower I found the timer on the shower floor with the hourglass broken and the sand running out inside the plastic case. The suction cup lost its suction hence the timer has fallen on the floor. Great. Six dollars for two uses only. I really loved this timer (or at least wanted to). My afterthought and advice for other people who own this is to only place it on the wall during each shower and remember to take it off afterwards, to prevent it from falling down at all. </div>

I bought these black covered toe sandals a few years ago when they were on sale for about 20USD. The quality of the shoes aren't great but what can you expect for a pair of 20 dollars shoes. I love the style of these sandals because they are so retro looking. I've been wearing them so much every summer and they are starting to wear out. Might need to start looking for quality pair of substitutes soon.</div>

I really should give Swedish clothing brand Cheap Monday the credit for the jeans... I have to say if you are not able to visit their stores in Europe, other retailers pretty much sell them at a ridiculously high price making them not so 'cheap' as their name suggests anymore. So I find Urban Outfitters sometimes offer a good reasonable sale price on these lovelies (you have to keep an eye on them). Thank you UO for stocking them! I bought my first pair of Second Skin online during a sale by pure risk taking. I wasn't sure about the sizing, let alone the acid wash colour, but I took a chance and it really paid off. Cheap Monday is now one of my favourite clothing brands.</div>

Another thing that produces a good laugh. Great for awkward dinners and parties. It has 16 different sounds in a machine. From clapping and hilarious laughter, to drum roll and glass breaking. My favourite one is a lady's scream, it is hilarious but I don't use it much as I don't want the neighbours to call the cops.</div>

Ok, I admit it, I have been lazy on blogging! My last blog was best buy in May, so that means I haven't been blogging for a MONTH!!! One excuse for that would be I was away for 2 weeks to Melbourne visiting my friends and brother... But yea...other than that.. I was just being...lazy... So enough said, back to the topic. June has been crazy because there is sale EVERYWHERE! It's so hard to resist not pulling out the money (or credit card) from my wallet so my bank account has been drained once again.. sigh.. I blame the SHOPS!..well... I now declare that I would spend less in JULY... (I think I said this to myself every month..oh well.....) Enjoy the post everyone!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this while I was in Melbourne. Sadly, we don't have rimmel in HK so I do regret not getting a few more rimmel lipsticks. This one I bought is #16, a pink with a slight peachy undertone. The texture is quite creamy, I won't say it's very smooth to apply on but smooth enough. The colour is perfect for those who are looking for something bright in summer but don't wanna be too loud at the same time. The colour is also quite user friendly that would suit most skintone.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At third place is a book by Michael Sandel who is a lecturer teaching philosophy in Harvard. I got it at the airport because I forgot to bring the book I was reading and I always need a book to read when I travel. I couldn't find the english edition so got the chinese one which I really don't mind that much. Back to the book itself, the book explores a lot of controversies and ethical dilemmas happening in the society such as surrogate parenting, abortion and<span class="article_sub_title"> economic inequalities</span>, uses many case studies and evaluates argument from both sides of the parties. Sandel gives many different angles based on theories proposed by different philosophers and challenges me to re-think what's right and wrong. I love it. Highly recommend!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, this is a little too short to be a dress, for some (like B), it can definitely be a cute little dress! The print consists of the beach, the blue sky, trees, so summery, so unique! I usually just pair it with black accessories, so easy to style and looking chic at the same time :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't really purchase this, my mum did. I don't care but I am still putting this as my number one TOP BUY this month! I'm a bread addict. I love bread. I eat bread more than I eat rice. And this machine is FABULOUS and so fun to use!!!! You just need to put water, flour, sugar, yeast etc.. and press a button and after 3 hours WOW! A fresh loaf of bread is made. And you can use wheat flour, put raisins/nuts/dried fruit (my favorite is blueberry), substitute sugar with honey etc., for different variation. You can also make normal, firm or soft bread.. The only down side is there is only one loaf size. But personally I don't really mind because the loaf size is perfect for my family! YAY to bread maker!</div>

I must confess that I'm not a fan of animal prints at all. B loves them, but I feel that they are just too costume-y and tacky for me. I had this leopard print shirt in my closet for years, passed down from my mum. Every time I put it on, I would take it back off within a few seconds. I finally decided to wear it going out one night, thinking it'll be dark at the place so no one can really see me in the print anyway. No, I don't think I'll voluntarily buy any animal prints in the future, but I'll definitely wear this shirt again because I like how subtle the leopard print is on this shirt. </div>

I used this once when I was in elementary school (OMG around TEN years ago) and I re-discovered it when B recommended it to me the other day. I never really have a good impression on Kiehl. I tried quite a few of their products before and didn't like most of them except this one. I apply an excess amount of this every night before bed and it's really moisturising that can last till the next morning. </div>

I have been using this almost every day this month. A simple matte pink blush that can last all day. The product is seriously pigmented, you just need a tiny bit and sometimes I have to dub a little bit off on the back of my hand before applying it on my cheeks. It doesnt really look baby pink (like what their official website has described it) on my face, I think it's a little bit darker than baby pink. It gives me a natural flush on my medium skin tone. But I think it might be a little too deep for fair complexion (maybe not for you B and K). </div>

The lovely dahlia dress I got from asos! It got little cats on it!! VERY cute! This is the first high low dress I've owned and I love how flowy it is. I paired it up with black accessories - necklace, shoes, sunglasses and bag. Simple and chic, perfect outfit for shopping! I even went to work with this outfit once. LOVE!</div>

Found this outfit picture of myself, worn to a friend's music gig a few years ago. <br />
Channeling a bit of 90's vibe. Unintentionally looking like Annie Porter from 1994's <i>Speed</i>. </div>

Alike much?<br />

一人個有教養的八婆</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
與一個沒有教養的八婆</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
分別在於,彼此都是八婆</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
「八婆」帶有貶義成份,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
不論是有教養或沒有教養</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
依然是八婆。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
什麼叫有教養?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
社會眼中普遍定義為飽讀詩書,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
隨時「出口成文」</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
我指那種「出口成文」</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
是例如從一群專業人士一句對話中,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
上了一課生物課。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
至於沒有教養,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
社會眼中的粗人,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
一般以認為會「出口成文」</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
但世界有奇妙之處,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
粗人可能知書識禮過一班高官,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
手中讀著叔本華.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
不過</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
八婆終究是八婆</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
愛八卦別人家事</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
是會以track恒生指數的精神,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
track實oncc即時新聞,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
以防甩掉安仔與文文幾時拉近埋天窗,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
及人地個仔如何面對老豆老母擘面的表情</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
甚至自豪地說「我買忽週是因為我鍾意睇媽咪姐」</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
能夠自認是八婆</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
其實是勇氣</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

There is a huge construction around where I live and I've seen a lot of construction men lately. Very interestingly, I've spot this very popular 'fashion trend' among them (as seen in the picture above). It seems that a lot of them like to roll their shirt right up to where you can see their tummies and most of time their ni.. ahem...yes... I can't say this is too attractive but I do really like the white tee pairing up with destroyed jeans and rain boots and I do agree that this can be a way to diffuse heat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, here comes my interpretation of their trend, ENJOY! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to the second edition of Top 5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought all of these in the last month with the exception of number 5. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it goes.</div>

<br />
Ok, a friend gave this to me as a present. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who knew two savoury and sweet flavours would mix so well together? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only let down is that this product is only available in the Philippines. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If this is available in our country, I would probably go buy it every week, it's that good. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As Bi says, "ho mei dou soh jor", it's so delicious it makes you go crazy (in a good way of course). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here at the April lounge, we are all debating where to place this product at its deserving ranking. Some say that it should be put at a higher spot, but I can only place it at no. 5, as its not available to us at the moment. It's like a craving or obsession that we can't satisfy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chef Tony, if you are reading this, we would love it if you'd bring your gourmet popcorn worldwide.<br />
Thanks. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Smooth. Easy to apply. Doesn't glug. Dries quickly. Long lasting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of all, it doesn't make my nails and cuticles feel dry after days of application.<br />
Kit also offers a lovely collection of colours. </div>

A super fine and smooth brush for my face. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this as part of a 6 piece set for only 8AUD, that's roughly 60HKD. What a bargain!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I love most about this brand is that they are doing their bit to help the environment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The taklon bristles are animal friendly, and the handle is made from bamboo timber. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yay for helping the environment. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A translucent finishing powder hiding away pores, blemishes and oily skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes my face feeling silky smooth from morning to evening, while staying matte. <br />
And I can still smell the lavender scent hours after application.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, Jurlique is all about using natural ingredients for the skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is on the expensive side of things but it's well worth it. </div>

Thick foundation and too powdery looking face are so out of the season. On top of all the skin cares we are piling on our face, who really wants another layer of heavy foundation and powder to suffocate our skin, especially during the summer time.<br />

<h4>
Review: Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation</h4>
<br />
Heard A LOT of raves about this foundation and so I gave it a try. It meets my expectation, being <b>light and smooth but still provides light-medium converge,</b> enough for everyday use. I don't recommend skipping sunscreen but <b>SPF 15 is good</b> for those lazy days. I use a pea-size amount of this foundation, focusing on the centre of my face and using my fingers or sometimes a sponge to blend it out. It <b>even out of skin tone and brighten up my complexion</b>. The finish is <b>dewy</b> and it <b>lasts more than 10 hours</b> with a light layer of powder on top.<b>Very natural</b>,<b> doesn't set into fine line</b>s under my eyes and <b>moist</b> enough for my skin (although the SA recommend the foundation for oily skin but I don't have a problem with it). The <b>price is high</b> (around $460HKD) as expected, of course it's CHANEL! <br />
<br />
<h4>
Review: Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation</h4>
I absolutely love this foundation. It is very similar to the chanel one <b>without the SPF15</b>. But without SPF doesn't bother me too much because I apply sunscreen almost everyday anyway. And actually it makes the product more versatile because it's better for flash photography (won't give you that white mask). Other than that, <b>healthy mix is a little creamier (chanel is definitely more liquidy ), lasts a bit longer, provides a little more converge, is a lot cheaper than chanel</b> (around $240HKD)and it is as <b>natural and light</b>. I hate foundation that oxidises and becomes
deeper than the colour you first pumped out. Both chanel and healthymix do not oxidise noticeably. YAY!<br />
<br />
Overall guess which wins the battle here????<br />

Healthy Mix!!!<br />
<br />
A little tip in choosing foundation, if you have yellow undertone like me, choose a pink undertone foundation will naturalise and brighten up your complexion! Awesome!<br />

Do you stress over the amount of "friends" you have on facebook? Do you still reread your tweets and status over and over again after you have posted them up, contemplating how witty or funny they sound? Do you get upset because no one liked or commented on one of your posts? <br />
<br />
I recently read an article in a magazine about the paranoia of social networking. It is a form of depression that the victims become insecure about
themselves in everything they do or share with the social world. The above questions are some of the symptoms that the article mentioned. One of the sufferers in the article were convinced that her very good friend has started to defriend her because her friend wasn't replying to her message on facebook when in actual fact, the friend was simply busy. This self consciousness turns into a fear of acceptance because we know that people will critique and judge us based on what we put on our social media. <br />
<br />
That's right, we now live in a society where it is the norm or even "socially acceptable" to critique on everything we see and hear, and do you realise that we never hesitate to do so? Even we ourselves know that we will be judged by others and we let it happen. After all what can we do, right?<br />
<br />
Don't say you haven't looked at someone's 'myspace angles' profile picture and thought how try hard or pretentious they look. Yes you know the one, the one where the person takes a camera above their head and takes a photo of their eye (one), pout and chest.<br />
Don't say you haven't watched <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVsfOSbJY0" target="_blank">Rebbecca Black's 'Friday'</a> video and laughed at how stupid it is or cringing the song sounds. Even <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzSuJt5mDPY&feature=related" target="_blank">these kids</a> do so, so naturally and innocently. <br />
Don't say you haven't looked when Susan Boyle was first on stage and doubted her singing abilities.<br />

Not judging someone is a hard thing to do, we subconsciously do it. I know many have said this before, but wouldn't the world be a nicer place if we can just try and not judge people? What people put in the cyber world creates an immediate response for us
to perceive them in the way we see it. To us humans, we think that what we see
is often what it is. This mindset makes us self conscious of how we project ourselves on social networking sites.<br />
<br />
What is serious about this rising paranoia is that it can turn into a serious form of depression, which from what I've read, some sufferers were so depressed that they had to turn to psychiatric help. While this generation is so tuned in with every single social network and media, and most of us have several accounts to connect with this world, this social networking paranoia is something we cannot escape. We are constantly bombarded by social media, it consumes our lives. As you may know, we go on facebook more often than meeting our friends in person. We put our heart and soul into the things we post on social media, only to impress people, in order to create a good picture about ourselves.<br />
<br />
When I finished reading that article, I thought, whew,
lucky I don't have any of those signs and am no where like any of those
victims suffering from this paranoia. I never used to really think about
these sort of concerns and I do admit that I sometimes become anxious
to see whether anyone has commented on my posts. More recently, I
received a very weird and confusing comment on my social media status
from a totally-non-familiar acquaintance. At first I started to question
in the point and meaning of her comment, I have no clue what she is
talking about, and the more I think the more sensitive I became. I
started to get slightly stressed thinking that the only explanation of
her comment was to be sarcastic to my status, which made me angry. Then I
realised that I have already been pulled into this pool of social
networking fear. No I wasn't concerned in loosing that person as a
friend or how she sees me, in all honestly, I don't care. I was more
concerned about the way my other friends might perceive me from her
comment. Come to think of it now, why do I need to care at all?<br />
<br />
At the end of the day, what cure can I offer you? None, because I am no professional on this matter. My thoughts are, try not to be so self conscious about everything, if you think the other person will defriend you or critique you then I don't think he or she is worthy of being your friend anyway. Think to yourself, as Srin mentioned in <a href="http://loungeapril.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/who-is-judge.html#more" target="_blank">her post</a>, who is the real judge behind everything anyway? My second suggestion is don't get so attached to these social media, perhaps removing the app from your smartphone might be a good start. <br />

<i> from ningtian15 and 櫻桃小丸子驚點語錄</i></div>
<br />
依稀記得在大學的時候,其中一堂心理學的教授講過,我們平均只需要看一個人的照片看少於一秒就能夠對那個人作簡單的批判。我們在街上品憑一個路人的穿著, 食相,一個動作,一聲笑聲,一個眼神...依靠那一點點的觀察就斷定那個人的品味,性格,身家,婚姻狀況,感情生活... 就那一點點,能批判的實在很多。<br />
<br />
曾經看過一段YouTube video影的是一位肥肥的中學生拿著一支golf棒好enjoy地自己亂揮扮star war 裡的Jedi。由於男生的揮棒姿勢非常搞笑, 在網路上流傳得很快, YouTube 點擊率到目前有25,348,305次。<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPPj6viIBmU" target="_blank">Link to the video</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>大家都應該expected到的是很多人看完都留comment恥笑他,說很多難聽的話。<br />
<br />
<i>但當批判之前,到底你對此男生知道的有多少?</i><br />
<br />
因為是自拍短片,很多人看過後很順理成章地認為段片是男生自己post上網想博成名之類。但被人發現原來video 是男生的同學在未經同意下upload 的, 男生可能因為此事所帶來的壓力而<span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="zh-TW"><span class="">精神崩潰</span></span>需要無限期的心理治療。<br />
<br />
知道了背後真正的故事後,我相信對男生的評價會多了一點類似 "好慘啊!"、"男生的同學好衰" 而少了一些負面的說話。<br />
<br />
其實身邊聽到很多的misjudgement都是人只靠那一點點的據理,一面之詞的解釋,和主觀的判斷而造成。大法官都需要聆聽多方面的聲音和解釋。人證,物證都攤完牌才能批判疑犯是生是死。我們又為什麼要單憑幾秒鐘,幾句話,判定是或非,好或壞,忠或奸,港女或毒男...?<br />

經典是你跳我跳的愛情片。<br />
經典是哥哥聲微沙得不羈的那首「追」。<br />
經典是EASON與賈寶玉唱歌唱到舌踏舌。<br />
經典是沒有手機的年代, 茶樓"do me so la"廣播著:「陳生請到櫃面接聽電話。」<br />
經典是小學時代,你腦裡記得至少一打同學的屋企電話號碼.。<br />
經典是情竇初開時,聽過的「永遠」,當然你今天明白,永遠有幾遠。<br />
經典是DA VINCI 筆下的MONA LISA,那一笑,Dan Brown醉了。<br />
經典是碧咸98年的紅牌後尾勾,勾盡全國上下的恨,也勾起了個別球迷對他14年崇拜 。<br />
經典是總有幾首歌在夜裡你是聽不得的。<br />
經典是總有幾首歌,隔了幾多年還是能一字不漏地唱出,例如那些年十個有九個學生妹都曉背的日文FIRST LOVE。 <br />
經典是Van Gogh的夜空裡,象徵死亡的樹,如此有生命力。 <br />
經典是你成為入市奇芭,買完就跌,放完必升。<br />
經典是那些年放學與到K房全點Twins的歌,你與同學有系統地,當自己是阿Sa阿嬌。<br />
經典是45度角, 從前是MJ的經典動作, 如今卻是Santino的經典絕技。<br />
經典是Doritos 原味,原來無味。<br />
經典是連小老板紫菜又甜又咸的人造味,也叫做經典味。小老板!<br />
<br />
<br />
不知甚麼時候開始, 經典一詞已被濫用。<br />
以上是屬於一名不中不英,忽中忽英的80後經典中經典。<br />

For my first informative blog entry, I've decided speedily, to write about one of my favourite brands -<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> LUSH!</span></b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AN3XwGtblAg/T5lMOXIrE_I/AAAAAAAAAF0/RWgiWpjxzXQ/s1600/lush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AN3XwGtblAg/T5lMOXIrE_I/AAAAAAAAAF0/RWgiWpjxzXQ/s200/lush.jpg" width="200" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The title comes from the label of one of their products, Flying Fox shower gel and somehow weirdly, it cracks me up a little every time I read it. A shower gel with sex appeal! How appealing and how cool is that! </div>
</div>
<br />
I love LUSH because, first and of course is that most of their products smell ridiculously good and delicious, second, is that their products are made by natural and fresh ingredients (although I'm still not sure if that's matter, I assume that it should be healthier for skin than those made by tons chemicals since fresh food is always healthier than luncheon meat or artificial strawberry milkshake), third, they promote fair trade and consider our environment. I told the above reasons to my mum the other day, she looked at me like I'm an idiot and said "You never know if they are telling the truth." That's true, I may not know, but I like companies who at least TRY to protect the environment and made products out of ingredients such as fresh mandarin!<br />
<br />
Let me give you a little review on all of the products I've tried. OH! Actually I will rank them from least liking to most liking!<br />

YUKKK.. I really don't like this. My skin feels sooo dry after this. It can use to exfoliate, but its too gentle that I don't think it does anything.BUT I noticed that my porridge soap does look a little different from the web, the little pieces that are supposed to act as scrub weren't as compacted in mine. So..I don't know.. *puzzled<br />
<br />

Lust- Solid fragrance</h3>
<h3 style="color: #990000;">
</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HO46h6AHe6g/T5dxXacPEWI/AAAAAAAAAEE/7Tg9cqpGvpg/s1600/lush_solid-500x500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HO46h6AHe6g/T5dxXacPEWI/AAAAAAAAAEE/7Tg9cqpGvpg/s200/lush_solid-500x500.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
To be fair, I have to admit that I don't use fragrance/ perfume as often as I would like to. I always seem to forget about it. The biggest problem I have with Lust is the scent (ironically). I used to like the scent, but as time goes by, I starts to feel that the scent is a little too manly for me and the scent of jasmine and lemongrass is a bit too strong for my taste.<br />
<h3 style="color: #990000;">

<h3 style="color: #990000;">
Flying Fox - Shower gel</h3>
<h3 style="color: #990000;">
</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jsWn9JrcajM/T5dxmPYs9dI/AAAAAAAAAEM/nN3UyG1tY8o/s1600/shower_gels+and+smoothies_Flying+Fox-500x500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jsWn9JrcajM/T5dxmPYs9dI/AAAAAAAAAEM/nN3UyG1tY8o/s200/shower_gels+and+smoothies_Flying+Fox-500x500.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Well, flying fox and lust have the same smell. So you know why it's not on my favorite. But it didn't dry my skin and I have dry skin. So that's a pro!<br />
<br />
<h3 style="color: #990000;">
Sweet Lips - Lip scrub</h3>
<h3 style="color: #990000;">
</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eeP09C4-0t4/T5dx9qXh6FI/AAAAAAAAAEU/EV9Y-jIxdik/s1600/skincare_face_lipbalm_Sweet+Lips-500x500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eeP09C4-0t4/T5dx9qXh6FI/AAAAAAAAAEU/EV9Y-jIxdik/s200/skincare_face_lipbalm_Sweet+Lips-500x500.jpg" width="200" /></a> </div>
This is a fun product! I have never tried a lip scrub before this. It smells and tastes good (Yea.. I did suddenly eat a little last time). My lips are a little smoother and softer after using it but I feel like you can achieve the same result with sugar and olive oil. So you can actually save the money for other products.<br />
<br />

Squeaky Clean - Shampoo bar</h3>

<br />
Shampoo bar may sound a little odd to some because it's rare. They are really good for the environment because it saves the packaging, the nasty plastic bottle. I bought this because I had dandruff a while back and I was hoping that this can help me out. I love the smell of this. It has a wonderfully fresh herbal smell, unfortunately it leaves my scalp feeling inchy and dry. Sigh... I was really hoping that it would work for me..<br />

This greeny muddy-textured mask is one of Lush's best sellers. Although this is very popular product, I am not a huge fan of it. I expected this mask will cleanse my pores and reduce the whiteheads and blackheads around the nose, but it didn't really do that. However it does soothe and tone my skin, leaving my skin feeling brighter.<br />

Lush bubble bars are AWESOME! They have so many to choose from, choose the smell you like and indulge yourself in a fabulous bubble bath. I assure you that you'll feel happier and relax after a nice bubble bath. My favorite one is The Comforter!!! HOWEVER, $60-80HKD each day for a bath will drain my bank account a bit too quickly. So for me, bubble bars are strictly for troubled and depressed days when I need something to lift myself up :P<br />

<br />
This vibrated blue coloured scrub feels nice on skin and leaves the skin really smooth and soft!! Although it is a FACIAL scrub, I prefer to use it on my body (particularly on my elbows and knees) because the salt can be a little too rough for face.<br />

<br />
I see mixed reviews on this conditioner. And I can tell you, when I first used it, I wasn't too happy with the IMMEDIATELY result too. The hair wasn't particular softer, smoother, shinier, or bouncier, like it claims on the website. The formulation wasn't very intense so I have to use quite a lot of product each time to feel that all of my hair, especially the ends is covering with the product. However, as I continuously using it, my hair is noticeably healthier (less split ends) and shinier!! AND of course, THE SCENT AGAIN! It leaves your hair smells like vanilla for at least 2 days. LOVE IT! <br />

<br />
This combines the essential oils of two of my favorite flowers, lavender and rose, HOW CAN I NOT LIKE IT!! Give me a little boost each morning when spraying it on my face. I can't say that this actually tone my skin, but it does feel moisturising and not greasy. This product is so simple but it works so perfectly for my dry skin.<br />

<br />
This should be a no surprise to Lush regulars, because olive branch is always on the best seller list! I highly recommend it if you are looking for a shower gel that doesn't dry your skin, but leaves your skin very clean and smells SO refreshing. Seriously I will squeeze the product on my hands, sniff it for a good 2 seconds before I apply it all over my body every day!! This also is my favorite scents among Lush products too.. Honey and soft mandarin scent, so delicious and sweet and amazing.. <br />
<br />
<br />
HK people are always too overwhelmed by the smell of the stores and refused to even get in a LUSH store at all, I tell you, get pass the smell (breath through your mouth) and get a product like olive branch and I assure you that you will be impressed!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading! <br />

Red lipstick is so classic, this colour never goes out of date. It has already made a comeback for a few years now and it is set on to stay for many more seasons (despite <a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/category.aspx?ca=88" target="_blank">Pantone announcing Tangerine as the colour of 2012</a>). Wearing red is not just about fancy dressing for a party, it can also brighten up a casual day's outfit. <br />

I say, the more casual you wear the better this red lips trend will carry through without being too Mad Men. Try a loose neutral t-shirt with skinny jeans. The tricky thing, though, is finding a suitable red lipstick that goes with one's skin tone. So here is a quick and simple guide to choosing the right red lipstick colour for you.<br />
<br />
Think back to all the things that you've learned about colours during art class in primary school.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
If you have a warm skin tone, with <span style="color: #f1c232;">yellow</span> and <span style="color: orange;">orange</span> undertones, choose cool shades of red with a tint of <span style="color: blue;">blu</span>e or <span style="color: magenta;">pink</span>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.esteelauder.com/products/images/311x311/Y7HP78_311x311.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="200" src="http://www.esteelauder.com/products/images/311x311/Y7HP78_311x311.jpg" title="Estee Lauder Mad Men Collection" width="200" /></a></div>
Try: <span style="color: #444444;"></span>M.A.C. Ruby Woo, M.A.C Russian Red, <a href="http://www.esteelauder.com/media/boutiques/mad-men/index.tmpl#%21/mad-men/3" target="_blank">Estée Lauder Mad Men Collection Cherry</a><br />
<br />
If you have a cool skin tone, with <span style="color: blue;">blue</span> and <span style="color: magenta;">pink</span> undertones, choose warms shades of red that have tint of<span style="color: orange;"> orange</span> in them.<br />
<br />

<br />
The contrast of warm and cool will compliment each other. If you are blessed with neutral skin tone then any shades of red should work for you. Still not sure? If your teeth is not sparkly white and is a bit on the yellowish side...go for a red with a blue undertone to help contrast the yellowness of the teeth, making your smile brighter! The M.A.C Russian Red is a winner for everyone.<br />
