Tips and facts about perfume

Oh my god, it's been a long time since I've updated my blog. I've been busy with school lately. Futhermore, there'll be tests coming up soon so I apologise for the long updated blogpost.

What do I love besides makeup? 

PERFUMES

I have an unconditional love for Victoria's Secrets body mist, toilette and perfumes. Probably that is because I've worked there before and to me, the best options of body mist out there comes from Victoria's Secrets. There are tips and facts that I would like to share about body mist/toilette/perfumes and these came from the knowledge I've got while working in Victoria's Secrets. So I'll start off with facts!

FACTS

• How long does your body mist/toilette/perfume lasts?

- Body Mist: 1-2 hours

- Toilette: 4-6 hours

- Perfumes: 6-8 hours 

• Why is it that original bottles are sold cheaper outside than the original shop itself?

- That is because the shop sells fresh ones than the outside shops and this will definitely affect how long the smell can lasts. So, it is better to buy from the original shop itself than buying outside if you're looking for quality over quantity.

• Is it okay to rub the scent after you apply it?

- No, it is not. These fragrances have three notes in it. The base note is the first thing you smell after you spray it which gives off very deep smell. The middle note is the 'heart' of the scent and lastly, the top note is the original smell of the perfume so if you rub the scent after you spray it, it will definitely destroy the notes and you wouldn't be able to smell the true scent of it.

• What are the different kind of scents you can find out there?

- Warm, fruity, fresh, floral and musky. Some scents can combine two elements together like fresh and floral.

TIPS

• Wear your scents on your pulse points and where can you find them? Wrist, neck, cleavage, back of your knees and back of your elbows. This is because the scent will evaporate and your whole body will be able to experience the aroma. It feels like your whole body is surrounded by the scent of the fragrance.
• Add lotion or body butter from your perfume line before applying your fragrance. Why? This is to make your scent last longer and this method is called layering.
• Use body mist as a hair scent spray. Never use toilette or perfumes because they are heavy in content and it will make your hair oily thus body mist is much lighter in a sense and spray it away to make your hair smell nice! 
• Always remember, less is more! 

 So... Happy spraying! See you on my next post! 

Love, Delilah

What do I do when I'm lazy? I think it sounds productive but, I'm unsure of it. Usually this happens during days where there is no school for me. As much as I love going to school, sometimes I think that I need a break in between because my body clock can't tolerate waking up at six in the morning every single day. So here's my lazy day routine.

As lazy as it sounds, I usually wake up around 10am. Then, I will laze around in my bed for about 30 minutes or so because my phone is the first thing I spend time with the moment I open my eyes. Every time, I'll check my social networks like twitter and instagram and I'll scroll and scroll and scroll down my timeline like there's no tomorrow.

Afterwards, I'll go and take a bath. Who likes feeling sweaty and warm? Ugh, I hate it. Let me just mention my favourite product in my bathroom right now and it's none other then.........

Dove's Straight and Silky Conditioner! This product deserves a gold medal from me. Literally. My hair is really dry ever since I coloured it on my own. Although the worst parts have already been chopped off, it's still dry. Let me tell you... this product has saved my hair. My hair now feels silky and straighter. No need for straighteners any more! (I mean it doesn't give you true straight hair but if you have a curly or wavy hair, you can see the difference) Who doesn't love silky and smooth hair? It feels great when you run your fingers down your hair, right? Thus, this product serves to be in my #lazydayroutine because sometimes I can't be bothered to comb my hair. Hehe!

What's my lazy day skin care routine? I love to apply lotion or moisturisers on my skin during my lazy days. Oh my God, it totally feels good on my skin - so smooth and so soft. On my face, I apply Olay White Radiance Intensive Whitening Cream.

This product has been my favourite moisturiser for daily use. I know I'll be indoors but nothing feels good than having a product that fades all my dark pigmentation that has been caused by the sun! For the other body parts, I use my favourite (I said favourite) body lotion from Victoria's Secrets - Vanilla Lace Hydrating Body Lotion.

Yes, it is a tester and I got this product while I was working in Victoria's Secrets. Thanks Eddy! But, it is sad to say that this scent has already been discontinued. This product smells like heaven if you assume from the name itself - Vanilla Lace. It contains Vanilla and Musk. Oh my, if only I could let you guys smell it. Have you ever eaten pure vanilla ice cream or even drank pure vanilla frappucino or drink? YES, IT TOTALLY SMELLS LIKE THAT. This product is like my main weakness when I apply it on my skin. I'll keep smelling it over and over again. Honestly, it smells good and it keeps your skin hydrated! 

Also, I like to apply eye mask to keep my dark circles away because I have a habit to sleep late at night. Sorry guys! My current favourite eye mask is from Sasatinnie. 

It is called Anti-oxidant Regenerating Eye Mask. I got this from a promotion for $2 and also, this product contains 3 pairs of eye mask in it! This product helps to reduce dark circles and fine lines, provide powerful anti-ageing protection, provides intensive moisture and helps to firm and tone the delicate eye area! I wish I had gotten more of these. I totally love it and it does helps to reduce dark eye circles. Kudos to this product!

What is my lazy day makeup? I go bare face. 

I don't wear makeup on my lazy days because on the days I go out, it is a must for me to put on make up so these lazy days are just a break from using any products on my face and I feel great about that. 

What's my lazy day hairstyle? I don't style my hair. I just let it be free as always. Sometimes I tie my hair too. 

What's my lazy day outfit? 

My favourite lounge pants from Cotton On Body which I got for $5 during their sale last year! It's so comfy and I'll always pair this with an oversized top! Nothing feels good than being in such comfortable clothing at home. 

What is my lazy day scent? I don't have a candle in particular at the moment but my favourite scent would be the scent from my body lotion which is Vanilla. It smells so good. I feel like I'm a piece of cake. Literally. 

What is my lazy day routine? I will go on my laptop and watch YouTube videos especially from those that I've subscribed like Pewdiepie, Clothesencounters, Zoella and many more. Also, I'll watch my current favourite TV series, American Horror Story. I'll usually go from my laptop to hand phone and hand phone to laptop. Sorry, not sorry. Depending on the day, sometimes I like to lie down on my bed and just listen to music all day long.

What's my lazy day snack/food? I love to eat ice cream. It's so sinful but it taste even more yummy when I have nothing to do but laze around with a spoon and a bucket of ice cream. I love x1000 ice-creams from Ben and Jerry. They taste so good and I can never ever get bored of the flavours. Sigh. Sinful indulgence. 

What is my lazy day drink? 

My favourite Cadbury Drinking Chocolate. It tastes like heaven. It can be served hot or cold depending on my mood on that day. Nope, I'm not guilty. I'm a sucker for both chocolate and coffee drinks. 

Well... I guess that's it. 

Thanks for reading my lazy day routine. Oh my, it doesn't sound productive at all. This is my life 90% of the time. I do chores too okay. Hehe. I hope you guys enjoyed it. If there're any questions, feel free to ask me or tell me anything at my ask.fm. See you on my next post. :*

Love, Delilah.

Happy Mothers' Day

So, hello. I've decided that not only I post about my beauty and fashion stuffs, I'll also be posting about my personal life stories. Since today is Mothers' Day, I would love to dedicate this post to my one and only beloved mother. But, before that, here's to my nail art for Mothers' Day.

Before I actually continue with this post, I want to apologise to my mum for using her hijab needles to create this look. I was inspired by posts from nailsartvids/nailsartvidss, Honestly, their accounts have tons of nail art video tutorials that I think I wouldn't be able to recreate. But, I feel that since it's Mothers' Day, I should do something that symbolize love. Therefore, I did these adorable pink roses on a platform of nude base to give my nails a softer look. I know it looks bad but hey, A+ for effort as this is my first time trying to paint designs on my nails. I got my nail polishes from Sasa located at Causeway Point. They have offers like 2 for $5 or 2 for $2.50. Guess what? Even though these babies are cheap but they are packed with good quality. I definitely recommend them. (You can find them the moment you walk into the store)

Happy Mothers' Day!

Happy Mothers' Day to my one and only mother that I truly love. You bring tears and happiness into my life. It has been a wonderful journey with you despite how annoyed I can be when it comes to your nagging. But hey, which mother doesn't nag at their kids? I was told that when a mother nags, they are showing how much they care about you. Well, I think that's true when the times are reasonable. Haha!

I'm honestly blessed to have a mother like you. If only I knew how much hardship you had to go through to get me, to give birth to me, to raise me up and to tolerate me. I can only listen to the stories you tell me but I wouldn't be able to feel how exactly you felt while going through what you were going through. I can't even imagine myself as mother in the future. I could only bring a part of you to the next generation because a mother like you can never be replaced, ever.

I'm sorry if I ever come off as stubborn, lazy or even rude. I just want to let you know that I never had intention to hurt your feelings. I know at times we can never click. We fight and give each other the silent treatment. But, at the end of the day, you're still the woman I will ever love throughout my whole life. Thank you for the sacrifices you and papa have done for me and Lyna. Truthfully, I do not know how to repay you back. Without you, I probably wouldn't be where I am right now. Thank you for all the support you've given me right when I was a baby until now. Just so you know, I love you so much and I don't know what would I ever do without you. Thank you for holding all the jobs in the world. You are the best mother that I could ever have.

Feel free to ask my questions or tell me anything at my ask.fm, I will be glad to reply you.

Love, Delilah.
