Youtube Channel

Hey everyone ^_^

So I just created a Youtube channel called twinkylalaful. Doesn't it sound great? I actually just wanted the username to be 'twinkylala' because that's the name of my blog but it was already taken and Youtube suggested I take 'twinkylalaful' which I really like :D

So I will be posting up videos of product reviews, maybe tutorials and just random things I find interesting.

The reason I created a Youtube channel is because I understand that some people are visual types of people and they like to see/look rather than read. This doesn't mean I'm abandoning my blog, I will still write proper posts to the videos for those who prefer to read or don't want to waste internet data.

Anyway here's the link and I will try in the next few days to post up an intro video so please subscribe - http://www.youtube.com/user/twinkylalaful

Shopping @ Priceline

Hey hey,

I went shopping at Priceline today for some stuff. For those of you who don't know what Priceline is, it's a store similar to Watsons and Boots but stocking different brands of course :) The reason I like shopping there so much is that you get points on your membership card and every quarter, they'll give you a discount voucher to use provided you have spent over a certain amount. I think it's $100 and I usually hit that amount because I buy all my makeup, skincare, hygiene products etc from there.

Guess what I got today???

 


Isn't it SO cute?! I love it especially the handle! My colleagues at work said that it's perfectly suited to me ^_^ I love bows, polka dots and the colour pink and this cup has it all. This cup also came with 2 oat cookies, 2 packets of chai latte and one of those stirring thingys.

Fashion Lookbook

Hi ^_^

Many of you might know what a Lookbook is and some might not know so what is a Lookbook? Well, according to Wikipedia (yes i know...) a Lookbook is a "collection of photographs compiled to show off a model, a photographer, a style, or a clothing line".

Essentially it's a fashion diary and that's what I'm going to do! When I thought of the idea, I was so excited and although it's not exactly original, it's still a brilliant idea. My sister first suggested I do an "outfit of the day" post but I thought that a lot of people are doing that already and I should come up with something more and that's when the word "lookbook" floated into my mind hehe.

So...my plan is to create Lookbook posts that focus on a particular style, item of clothing, current trends etc. This will give me the opportunity to show you all my personal style and what I like wearing but at the same time, I will also be posting about celebrity styles I like.

Stay tuned for this section and if you have any Lookbook suggestions, write a comment below and I will try my best to do it.

Goodnight all.

TAG! Confessions of a Shoe-A-Holic

Hey ^_^


On Saturday I recorded my first Youtube video with my sister. If you've had a look on my home page, you'll see my sister's Youtube videos on the right hand side. She does dance covers of Korean songs.

Anywhooo, she's had requests from her subscribers asking about where she gets her clothes and shoes from and since her collection isn't particularly huge, she asked me if I could do the shoe tag.

I was actually really excited to do the tag but at the same time I was really nervous aswell. I acted so unnatural in the video >.< If I do record more videos, I'll know what I can improve on.

I won't write too much since the video pretty much explains it all but I would like to take this opportunity to say that I did the video on my sister's request to share with her subscribers the shoes I have. I don't want people to get the wrong idea and think that we did the video to show off what I have. So I hope poeple don't think like that >.< It's just for fun.

Anyway here's the video and some pics ^_^ enjoy...

Diary Entry - bootcamp, ASOS & Twilight Shoes

Hey everyone,

I know I haven't posted up anything in a little over a week & I feel so bad :( So hope this diary entry makes up for it ^_^


So first of all, I just came back from exercise bootcamp! I bought a voucher for $19 and it gives me unlimited access to bootcamps for six months which is an awesome deal. So today was my first class and I can tell you right now, it hurts to type because my arms feel so heavy! At one point during the class, I thought I wasn't going to be able to drive home because my legs felt like jelly. I am going to keep going to the classes because I am SO unfit. I can't even remember how long it's been since I last did proper exercising.

Ok, the other night at about 11pm I was suppose to go to sleep but....I ended up shopping on ASOS! Yeh I know, it's so bad of me. If my boyfriend knew, I'd get in trouble so shhhhhh hehehe. I'll show you guys what I bought when it arrives.

Last Friday I went to watch Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 with a bunch of people for my friend's birthday and she's a fan of Team Jacob. I'm not a Twilight fan but I thought this movie would actually be good so I went to watch. I'm not going into detail about the movie in case I step on anyone's toes >.< I just wanted to share my favourite bits from the movie. I LOVE Bella Swan's wedding dress...well the back is my favourite part but I couldn't find a picture on Google. It's lacey see through on the back and goes quite low down to her buttocks. Lots of people have said that the front is too plain but I think that it has to be like that so that the back of the dress will be what gets the attention. If the front was decorated as well, the details on the back will loose the limelight.


I want these shoes!!!!! Aren't they gorgeous? I read here that Manolo Blahnik will be replicating Bella's shoes and retail them for $1295! I really want a pair of these for my wedding but as much as I love them, I doubt I'd fork out that much :( I'll just have to be content with looking at them hehe.

Anyway that's all for now...I gotta go eat cos I'm so hungry now. I guess that's what exercise does to you :D

Review - Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One BB Cream

Hey hey! So today I will be reviewing the Garnier BB Cream :)

I don't normally use BB creams because there's usually only a few shades to choose from and the coverage isn't that great but then again it's not meant to provide much coverage >.<

Anyway, I decided to try the Garnier BB Cream because it's the first BB cream in Australia and I wanted to see if it was any good.

Shopping on ASOS

Hey hey ^_^

I recently received my order from ASOS.com and thought i'd share it with you all :D

I love internet shopping! Why? Because i love the idea of coming home and opening the box. It's like a present to yourself.

I was looking through ASOS because they had an up to 70% off sale! I think it's still on. One thing i love about ASOS is that they offer FREE shipping! Some companies charge ridiculous amounts to ship internationally.

Anyway, i bought these items:

ASOS Cut Out Back Playsuit
This playsuit to me is really versatile. It can be worn at night when you go out for dinner and drinks but it can also be worn during the day with pastel or bright coloured heels teamed with a spring/summer cardi.
