All The Things I Can't Live Without...

[Non cosmetics post]

I'm someone who's always itching to make stuff and personalize things. Blame it on me being a girl, or on my mom's art-driven genes. I adored art lessons in primary and secondary school; I taught myself how to draw anime/manga since I was 8 years old; I "zhnged" my own pair of Cotton On flats; I still do love drawing scientific images (nothing like 'em cells!) - I guess makeup was an eventual thing for me, cos it's a form of art too!

Anyway, back to the topic. It started when I got myself an organizer on Gmarket back in December last year. Decided to be more organized, cos I'm always messy and losing track of things.

Here it is; a beautiful diary imported from Korea that cost me S$12.50 (I figured I'd be more motivated to write in it if I found it attractive =x).

Gawd, how I love the cream colour of the jacket and the cute motifs at the bottom. The inside is cute too, the paper quality good and a small slip of stickers was also included. IMO, it was a good buy!

Ha ha, I was so looking forward to using it this year... when I received another 2011 organizer. -___-

It's just a simple black one from Daiso; I got that during a Daiso gift exchange during one of the christmas gatherings I attended. I'm afraid I don't have the picture to show you guys, but it's really plain and the paper quality isn't that good (hey, it's only S$2). But being the miser that I am, I wanted to use it and not let go to waste.

Thus, I decided to dress it up and save the good Korean diary for 2012 (provided the world doesn't end. In that case, we wouldn't need an organizer anymore, would we?) Ta daa!! My handiwork. :)

The insides:

(see my "bua hiao bai-ness"?? ha ha ha xD)

I couldn't stand how plain and boring it was, so I pasted a ton of pictures of the things I loved most. :) At least the diary attracts me to write in it now. Hurrah to personalization!! Thanks for viewing this post people, take care!

P.S. Just an ironic picture I'd like to share with you~ :)

Ha ha ha, I love my cat~

When you can't (or more like, unwilling) to get the real thing and when you don't wanna splurge on the Chanel ones...

..do what I did and draw on some of your own! :) All it took was some liquid eye liner (make sure it's a good budge-proof one) and Etude House's Tear Drop Glitter Eye Liner (given by miwitch). Ohh, and some creative juice!

And those at my middle finger, thumb and the back of my wrist:

And how it looks against a black polo tee and denim shorts (sorry had to show you guys my crotch Q__Q):

A few cam-whoring pics with my creation:

I had on a winged eyeliner and some of Etude House' glitter eyeliner on the inner corner of my eyes when I went out that day. Paired this simple eye look with some orangey-red lips but after dinner and  coffee, it all wore out.

Anyway, I loved the idea so much that I wore it out to a friends gathering the next day. Of course since these aren't permanent, I had to redraw them but no problem! I had on another design for that gathering (but didn't photograph it cos I was in a rush). And I got a few compliments, even though one of my friends exclaimed "Waste eyeliner!!!"

I was like "Hello, I have been using this eyeliner for 1 year and it isn't even finished!"

"Ohhh, trying ways to buy new eyeliner harh?"

Ha ha, he totally read my mind! But yeah, I think my eyeliner is finally drying out a little after this tattoo thing and it's good! Cos I've got my eye on one of the new pen-type liquid eyeliner recently brought in by Watsons, heh.

So that's my home-made version of the Chanel-esque temporary tattoo and if you want some but cannot afford the Chanel ones, this is a good thing to try out. Or if you're finding ways to use up eyeliner, this is definitely a good way! Ha ha, hope you guys enjoyed the pic spam, thanks for reading!
