t-shirt bra, and summer shimmer eyes


I haven't bought a new bra in... oh ages haha, I can't remember the last time! Recently Ping from http://allaboutfashionstuff.blogspot.com mentioned that she loves the Victoria's Secret Angel bra, so I thought I might try it on. When I went Friday after work, there were bins of all kinds of bras for $15.99! Bras that were originally $38-48 too! I tried on about 6 different styles, the Angels one included, and found that the "Very Sexy Secret Embrace wave push-up" in 32B fit me really nicely! I tried it on with a sheer white t-shirt (also from VS, marked down from $20 to $5) which I ended up buying as well. I love this bra b/c the tops of it don't make that line through the shirt.. and I think it's b/c of the thin scalloped edges.

I still can't use my laptop so I'm using phone pics instead of digicam :\

No bra lines yay!

This is what the bra looks liks:

I also played around with my Physicians Formula bronze shimmer strips in "Miami" and made a REALLY simple eye look. I've been using for a year now as a cheek bronzer, but the other day idk why I decided to try it on my eyes.

Here's what I did: use my ring finger to swipe the top 2 colors and placed under my brow, then use the same ring finger to swipe the bottom 2 colors and place on my lid, so that it connects with the top 2 colors. Doing this creates a really light, bright and shimmery eye.

Dropped the darn palette and lost the cover :(
The top 2 colors are really nice for highlighting:
The 4 colors on my eye ~ excuse the smudged liner, that's what inevitably happens when I use Bobbi Brown :\

Hard to capture the colors on camera, but it's very light and good if you're the "natural face" makeup type of person.

Funny pic :p I was trying to take pics of my nudy blue contacts so I can put together a youtube slideshow. Here's a funny pic, that looks nothing like me. I find it so interesting that depending on angle and expression you can take a photo of yourself that looks nothing like the real you.

  3. wow you look so different in that last photo haha your eyes are HUMONGOUS. I love the halo effect!

    You did a great job with the shadows, great highlight you've discovered :) i basically drool and ogle anything with scallop hems so excuse me while i stare creepily at that bra pic again hahaha jk jk. that's a really good deal! that is impressive. all my bras seem to make the shirt line but i guess i don't mind that much xD

    :* i will definitely consider a banner change! i've pretty much had the same layout for over 10 months for sure. i think perhaps the red will clash with the blue though and i don't want to get rid of the polka dots :( i am one sleepy panda right now. these ash grey wings dry out so fast.

  6. ^Ping ~ hah that's why you have to avoid shopping downtown and shop in the financial district! Much neater :)

    Angie ~ my nudy blues dry out too compared to my angel grey, but I am so in love with the blue color that I just deal with it hehe.

    Susy~ LOL that's so funny you're like let's get together... but you're always gone! Understandable though as you have a special someone in LA :) Well you know me I'm always free so as soon as you've got a weekend free let me know!

  8. Hmm, I might have to go try out that tee shirt bra. I need one that isn't really padded that won't let lines show through. The scalloped edge is quite pretty!

  11. I also hate it when the tops of bras show through shirts... but for me that's usually because the cups are gaping. I've probably tried that bra on before, but I think their smallest size was too big for me to 'fill' too. I envy girls who are more well-endowed, not only for the obvious reasons, but you have so many more options in lingerie!

  20. sophia, you are too sweet :) aaa now i feel bad for taking pictures and editing for so long. hahaha need to get back to lacteals and hydrazones x__x but secretly i just wanna be a girl for as long as i can :D !

    you're the best!

  21. OMG, unnie!!! I love the last photo the most (like everyone else) hehe! But you look absolutely pretty on all of them.

    Man, VS always has the most innovative bras. Too bad I don't go there to often & GAHHH! how did I ever miss that sale =/ BOOO! hehe! Anyways, I own too many bras. It's weird cause I can fit a 34A to a 34B. Werid right? Maybe depends of how much padding it has? IDK? I've been so obsessed with bras, lately though. It's like makeup? haha!

    Anyways, hope you're having a wonderful friday! Have a great 4th of July.

    Btw, love the eye makeup. Very simplistic, but chic!!

    Miss you much =/ Haven't talked to you much, lately

  22. Hey Sophia, I haven't tried the Secret Embrace bra but it's awesome that it doesn't show through a white tee! All of mine show somewhat =\ Yay I def. like the natural look and I can see how versatile the palette is, it looks like it blends very well as e/s! I haven't been to Acme Bread or Cowgirl Creamery.. so much to try, guess I need to go back :) hehe I think having gelato together would be fun.
