Hong Kong : 01/04-11/04 2013

Green tea frappuccino - waiting for our appointment in Wan Chai for our HK ID renewal. 

Red taxi

I wanted to buy one - less than a £1.

A little early night snack (Jet lag) - sushi, buns & green tea.

Hong Kong night view.

Who can spot the durian? I could smell it from streets away!

Look how tall the buildings are in HK!

My final night in Mong Kok. 

A mini re-cap of my trip to Hong Kong with my sister, I enjoyed Hong Kong so much this trip that I actually want to immigrate there! As Hong Kong is where I am from; I would like to experience the life style that I could have lived. The life in Hong Kong is quite up pace but I like that energy and warm weather it has. Though during my trip the weather was gloomy most days, the temperature always exceed 20 Celsius. Unlike the UK, at the time it was snowing! I am not a cold weather fan!

A little peek of Hong Kong of those who never travelled there. Definitely a tourist hot spot, I would highly recommend this place, though I maybe bias.

More Hong Kong related posts will be posted soon, I promise!

Much love

My Daily Make-up

My make-up routine has been consistent, I have used all the products for almost a year or more and have re-purchased a few items; I am satisfied with the finish it gives however I think there are better products out in the market but yet I have not found it. I am still on the hunt for better alternatives.

M.A.C Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation 

M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Natural 

Sleek Contour Kit OR Topshop Bronzer Radiance 2 

M.A.C Blush - Peaches 

Topshop Eyeliner - Etch 

 (eyebrows filler)

Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner

 (eye liner)

Topshop Eyelash Extender Mascara 

Topshop Lipstick - Desert

------------------------

Just by glancing at the make-up products I use on a daily basis you will be able to have a feeling that my favourite brands are Topshop and M.A.C. Once I like a few products of a brand, I tend to stick with that brand, I have to admit I am quite conservative with my make-up. Nevertheless I am willing to try new make-up products. 

My skin is prone to acne and scars, also it is oily + dry. Therefore it is difficult to find a product that won't irritate my skin and not make my face look 'oily'. Another problem is that my face is lighter than my neck meaning I would have to buy foundation colours that matches my neck. I  do  not have the 'perfect' skin which I am fully aware so I rather invest more money into trying to heal my skin, that is why my make-up routine will most likely last till the product is empty and used to the last grain or drip.

Thank you for reading.

First Thought | Wahaca Restaurant - Mexican Market Eating

My first Wahaca experience....

I really like the concept of ordering the street food section, you choose an approximate 2-3 mini dishes per person and share! There are a variety to choose from: Tacos, Tostadas, Taquitos, and Quesadillas. As you can see we have chosen a mixture. Next time I want to try  their burritos and a mocktail (non-alcoholic cocktail)! In terms of taste, I think the flavours were not as exotic as I thought it would be, definitely splash their hot sauce onto your meal if you like that zing! I will definitely return for more as it is quite a creative restaurant!
