What were they thinking?

Sometimes we sees those gorgeous celebrities and we just want to be them. For a day, an hour. Anything!

Then we see another bunch of celebrities that makes us go, "Urm..." and wonders what's really on their mind when they dress they way they did.

Here are some celebrities that makes it into Fashion Disaster's List (via. ExpressoGossip):

1. Kim Kardashian - The flare of the skirt, the almost burst out boobs. I'm not sure why a gorgeous girl like her choose this dress. Seriously.

2. Adrienne Maloof - This looks like a nice sexy piece except that it belongs in the bedroom, not outside. 

3. Ciara - Why Ciara? Why would you do that to yourself?! WHY?!! 

4. Debbie Harry - I'm not sure what is more annoying. Her dress or all the glitters.

5. Demi Lovato - I love her, but she should kill that skirt. And she should never get ankle-boots for it makes her shorter. Way too short.

6. Dog Chapman and Beth Smith - He looks like he needs some serious skincare and she needs to get rid of that top, pronto!

7. Eva Mendes - Sadly, the dress takes away the focus from her gorgeous face and make us focus on the horrible color. 

8. Gloria Estefan - The shapeless pants make her body looks just as shapeless, when I can see gorgeous legs peeking out. Show your legs madam! Flaunt them!

9. Ivana Trump - My heart bleeds for the animals killed in making such ugly coat. Seriously, what is SHE thinking?

10. Jade Jagger - First thought, "what an ugly jumpsuit." Then I notice it is actually a dress. *smacks forehead*

11. Katie Price - Unless this is a Halloween costume, it should have never seen daylight. Like EVER.

12. Ke$ha - She has achieved her purpose. She stood out like a sore thumb.

13. LitTwist - I don't mind the top, but pants... Is it a trend to wear super long pants and have it create wrinkles at your ankle?

14. Mischa Barton - This is a far cry from being sexy. Being confused sounds more like it. It's like she can't make her mind from being "subtle" or "slutty".

15. Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice - They did well in dressing to be Cinderella's stepsisters - they looks the part.

16. Robert Downey Jr. - The fashion looks very mismatched, he still melts my heart <3

17. Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth - Couple who dressed badly and matched one another. They got it! They sure looks like "match made in heaven".

18. Sienna Miller - She looks like she left home in a hurry. In such a rush she forgot to change out of her pajamas.

19. Vicki Gunvalson - She's 51 and still has it. But this dress does her no justice

How you should be caring for your lashes

I had almost of a panic attack recently, noting how my lashes falls out when I was cleaning em with a cotton. The sudden thought of having a bald eyes, free from lashes almost knock me cold off spot. I'm a vain person, I love my lashes because they are long and curly and cuts me much slacks as I have no need for extension (thank god, for I am horrible with em). 

So I set to find out, is there a way for us to care for our lashes? And is there any way to help them grow faster and longer? I love what SheKnows written on the tips on caring for lashes. Simple and easy to do. Here's how:

1. Vaseline - The old beauty go-to, Vaseline can do more than just moisturize chapped skin — it can moisturize lashes, too! After cleansing before bed, apply a small amount of Vaseline to your lashes using your fingertip. Make sure not to rub the product into your eyes, as it can cause puffy eyes in the morning for some women.
2. Coconut Oil - Coconut oil is the holy-grail product for moisturizing au naturel and on the cheap. This solid oil is liquefied by heat. Rub a tiny amount of coconut oil between your hands and apply to lashes before bed. As with Vaseline, make sure to apply the oil only to the tips of your lashes. Puffy eyes can occur in some.
3. Lanolin Oil - Perfect for intense conditioning, lanolin oil comes from the oils of sheep. Sounds gross, right? You won't mind when you discover the benefits of using this all natural replacement for petroleum jelly. Add a touch of lanolin to your lashes before bed for a visibly moisturized, healthy look.
4. Eyelash Conditioner - Want something a little more luxe? There are conditioners made specifically for eyelashes, like Marini Lash eyelash conditioner. The formula contains a combination of enhancing peptides to help you wake up with perfectly pretty eyes.
5. Latisse - Maybe your eyelashes aren't brittle. The problem is you don't have very many to begin with! This miracle prescription helps lengthen and thicken hard-to-see lashes. Once they're grown out, use any of the above methods to maintain thickness and luster.
6. Biotin - Biotin is necessary for cell growth, and guess what? Your eyelashes are dead skin cells. Care for them by taking a daily biotin supplement that helps with growing healthy skin, hair and nails.
7. Mascara Primer - Stand up to that bully mascara! If you're a regular mascara wearer, you know the effect mascara can have on your natural lashes. Some formulas dry them out and make them look shorter and brittle once the mascara comes off. Don't worry. Mascara primers to the rescue! These specially formulated conditioners prep the lashes with conditioning ingredients. For example, Smashbox's Layer lash primer uses panthenol to strengthen and make lashes more durable.

REVIEW: SKIN&LAB's Glacial Clay Facial Mask + New Zealand Bedrock Water Clearing Moisture

The minute my hands received the items, I said, "This is it. I must try it tonight!" I have been anticipating for its arrival. Somehow, I've been feeling that this is a really good facial skincare :)

Items are packed nicely in the box and they even give me some free samples! So the first impression is pretty good!

So here's my review of the products! <3

1. SKIN&LAB's Glacial Clay Facial Mask :

- After cleansing and drying my face, I spread the "Glacial Clay" on my whole face evenly. It smells good and gives a tingly feeling. After spreading throughout the face, the tingly feeling burst into strong cool mint. A little over-bearing for the first 2 minutes. Almost make me teared up *seriously*. By the 3rd minute, the feeling start to fade off and it starts to feel really comfy.

- By 10-15 minutes, my face is ready to be washed off. You are only to gently wash it with water. Once I was done, my skin feels really soft and smooth! Love it! (PS: You could wipe it with wet cotton too, it speeds up the whole procedure!)

BEFORE

AFTER

 Even though this is one of worst skin condition, it helps to show how effective "Glacial Clay" is. If you look at my BEFORE picture, you notice that my pores are large and skin are reddish (I've sensitive skin). And after using "Glacial Clay", there's a significant reduction in my pores' size and the skin color is no longer as red. My face felt really soft and smooth after using it.

**Using it for the 5th time**

PUT MASK EVENLY ON SKIN

AFTER

 If you look at my more recent pictures above, I've since used "Glacial Clay" for the 5th time now. And voila! See how much my skin improve? Picture speaks a thousand words.

**PS: After using it several times, never face the same "over-bearing mint-burst" the first time round!


2. SKIN&LAB's New Zealand Bedrock Water Clearing Moisture  

Once I dried my face, I followed up with their "water moisturizer". It smells lovely and absorbed immediately into the skin. It does seems pretty similar to LADY&SKIN's Hydro Care Water Drop Essence. Between the two, I would choose SKIN&LAB's for its "water moisturizer" are not as watery.

Overall, this is GREAT and I am absolutely loving it! Definitely will grabbed some for safe-keeping, in case their price went up ;)
