Feedback from other posts

Now I'm going to post feedbacks on my previous posts.

1. 1st is about my new bikini from the post 'New bikini arrived' . I sew it with a normal sewing machine needle, not a proper ball point needle. The taylor in a shop uses normal needle but too small, so I went home and redo. My friends said some taylors are no good. 1 example is the 1 that did my swimsuit. Some really don't care and don't know. Everything in this world has good and bad. 
2. Next is 'Wishlist'. I cancelled out the things I already bought.
3. Sugaring. Do not do it if you're not skilled. I tried it and it gave me and my friend ingrown hairs. I get dry skin and bumps. It's because of the hair follicles and stuff. In conclusion, just ask a professional to do it or you can always practice more. 

Sugaring

Last weekend, I tried to make sugar to sugar my hair from my body. Sugaring is a technique where sugar is used to remove hair. There's 2 techniques to use this sugar. For both technique, apply some powder before using. 1st technique is the sugar heated up a little to and applied to skin and used like waxing.

The next technique is called ball technique. I've been using this technique because I don't have cloth. A ball of sugar is used. 1 video said knead the sugar for 5 minutes before using. Knead until the sugar is no more transparent. But you can do it without kneading though. Hold the ball of sugar with your finger tips and apply it on your skin on the opposite direction of your hair growth. You have to apply it a few times to get a thin even layer. Then, pull off all the sugar with the remaining sugar on your finger tips in the direction of your hair growth. It's quite hard to master it and I don't think you really understand what I'm talking about. You should just watch the video.

When I use the ball technique, I don't know why I can't use it for my whole body. The sugar becomes like caramel and not transparent and gooey. It can stick but when you pull it out, there's a trail of sugar and it's quite hard to sugar. I've just watched more youtube videos, I hold the sugar with 2 fingers and pull it out. The sugar is suppose to stick to your finger tips and use the remaining sugar on your finger tips and pull the sugar off your skin. Takes practice.

The sugar is easy to cook. It's just 1 unit of sugar, 1/8 unit of lime/lemon/orange juice and 1/8 unit of water. I used 1 cup sugar, 1/8 cup lime juice and 1/8 cup water. Most youtube videos uses 2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup water.

I suggest you read some and watch a few youtube videos before making the sugar. Took me forever and many tries to get it right. Even now my sugar is not right. It's overcooked and too brown and hard (keras).

My sugaring is not very effective because I've altered the recipe abit because I reboil it so many times, I added some water. But it's still fine. I can say the sugar I made is quite effective because the hair really cabut out but there are some that are so stubborn that cannot come off.

I watched some home videos and some beauty salon videos. Both are the same. Here's the videos on how to make the sugar and 1 on how to use it on your body.

Channel Nail Polish

Just now in Subang Parade, me and my sis went to try on Channel nail polish. OMG!! The texture is so good. I'm not a big fan of nail polish so I never try all the brands. The most expensive brand I've tried is Revlon. Revlon is really good. The texture is good and nice to apply. My sis bought the Revlon nail polish which is scented when dry. Haha.

The Channel nail polish texture is so good, now like Elianto, so lousy. The Channel nail polish is so good that I applied many layers and it's still nice. The colour is very even, which means parts that has more layer than other looks the same and it dries without lines. The finishing is real good, so smooth and it dries so damn fast, not like elianto. Elianto takes at least 30 mins to completely dry, the surface and inside. When the surface is dry but the inside is not, you hit your nail then the nail polish smudge or dent. The Channel nail polish dries up so fast that the surface and inside dries and you cannot dent or smudge it because it dries up totally and it's hard.

I don't know the colour name because I randomly tried it.

My sis decided to buy a Channel nail polish because it's so damn good and many people love it. It cost RM70. For me, I want to buy a new lipgloss. I have 1 which is free from the makever from Clinique, it's ok but I hate the wand applicator. It makes my lips look swollen and not suitable for me. I like the brush lipgloss. During the makeover I used that and my lips looks so pouty and damn nice.

So I will buy a brush lipgloss from the counter. I want to buy 1 good one because I always buy those cheap ones and don't like it in the end and hardly use it so I have to throw it away after 1 year. So I should buy an expensive one and use it all the time. I generally hate buying low quality items because it's a waste of money. I will eventually hate it or it will spoil.

Swimming in 3k

Today me and my sis went to 3k Subang Jaya to swim. It's a public indoor pool. It's damn uglyyyyyyy. The interior damn ugly compared to MMU's swimming pool. The water is obviously damn cold and the water is damn dirty. I actually feel dirty. The entrance fee is RM 4 (public holiday) and I didn't being home my swimming cap and I had to rent it for RM2. It's not nice. I rather go back MMU and swim. The toilet is also not nice.

As for my bikini, the neck tie came off as usual because it's tie string. If I tie double knot, then it wont come off. But if I tie double ribbon, it still comes off. I actually think (since last time), no matter how you tie it, it will definitely come off because of the material. It's slippery.

Now I'm in the bikini craze. I so want to learn how to sew a bikini. I so want to find sewing class or courses and want to learn how to sew stretch fabric. I obviously have to learn how to sew non-stretch fabric first.

Just now I was trying to sew (by machine) a bikini using the cheap table runner from some event 2 years ago. The table runner actually doesn't belong to me because we used the club's money but if I give it back to the club, they won't use it.

The table runner is not stretch material but it can stretch a little. It's those cheap cloth, RM2 per metre. It's so slippery too. I tried sewing a twist bandeau top bikini with it, obviously look ugly because I sew with hand, not machine. I really love twist bandeau tops. Many years ago I saw bras like that but now no more and bikinis are taking those designs. It obviously suit bikini more. It doesn't even look like a bikini. I wanted to sew a bikini that looks like this :

I will definitely learn how to sew because after looking at Victoria's Secret bikini, I love it so much eventhough most of the designs look the same but different colour. I didn't know that all scissors are right-handed. My friend told me once but it doesnt really bother me. She showed me while cutting paper. It's harder to cut with left hand because the scissors might not cut. I used a huge scissors to cut the fabric just now, I think it's a fabric scissors, it's so hard to cut. I tried turning the scissors around where my thumb and other 4 fingers are holding the scissors wrongly, it cut so easily. I should buy a left handed scissors or just buy a scissors with 2 equal hole sizes.

I also want to learn how to sew dresses because I always like wearing dresses but I never buy them because I think it's expensive. It's actually not because you only wear one piece of clothing at a time, not 2. If we wear 2 garments at a time, it also cost almost same as a dress. I also want to learn how to sew dresses because I saw alot of nice dresses but never buy it because I don't think I use them or it's expensive or it's low quality. Those low quality dresses are really bad.

Wearing contact lens and swim

Today, I went to swim with my contact lens. It was fine, surprisingly. I wore it in the day and it didn't feel like coming out. The previous time I wore contact lens and swim, the contact lens felt like coming out. I wore it for swim club at night. So in conclusion, it's ok to wear contact lens to swim and I saved like RM50
