I have shortish, straight, thin Chinese lashes. Over the years, I've finally mastered how to get those buggars to stay up and curled all day, even up to a couple of days for me... When I can't be bothered removing the stuff.
My advice is: you don't need a very expensive mascara. Although brands such as Lancome are verryyy good, a simple waterproof mascara is all you need to achieve a curled long lasting look really. I highly recommend the Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Waterproof Mascara, available at Boots. I've repurchased it many times over, and plus it's £3.29 for one! What a flipping bargain! So the tips goes, prime your lashes. I recommend using a good primer for this, Lancome do a good one called Cils Booster XL. Expensive though, but a good investment. When the primer is about dry, curl your lashes. Don't do this when lashes are still wet as the lash won't hold the curl. But invest in a good eyelash curler as well Asian ladies! The Shu Uemura one is my holy grail! I use the Cosmopolitan eyelash curler to lift my lashes first. So curl at the tips, middle, and roots. Then, using my SU eyelash curler, repeat the same process. This curler gives more of a curved finish to my lashes. From the side profile, it will look much more natural than if lashes stood straight up and hits against the eyelid. You know what I'm talking about?! Then apply a light coat of waterproof mascara first if you're going to use non waterproof formulas on lashes but wait for this to dry before applying other mascaras. I personally use all waterproof because it holds much better, and won't run as I have watery eyes. I yawn too much!
I also combine mascaras, as in I will use the primer, Miss Sporty mascara, then use a volumising mascara focusing on the roots, and finally a lengthening mascara on the ends. Before my Make Up For Ever Aqua Lash ran out, it was all I needed to use as it is an all round mascara. Unfortunately it's not available in the UK for me. I think that must be the best mascara I've ever used. But even Bioderma couldn't remove it... Vaseline does the trick though.
I just wanted to share my experience on how to beat the stubborn Asian lash syndrome, which is actually VERY annoying to others who may want to see what works for them. I see many Asian girls with good lashes, but could potentially have great looking lashes! Try it and see... It works for me, but may not work for everyone unfortunately. But hey, anything to get some flutter in those sexy eyes!
I'd love to know if it works for any of you!!!

My Ideal Man
I always think about this. What is desirable in a man, and I shall highlight, in a MAN. Not a boy. Boy Fully grown men. While studying psychology, I came across an interesting, but too much damn data to remember, case study about sex differences in mate preferences.
It claims that males and females look for different traits in the opposite sex and find different things as more desirable.
Females: Good financial prospects, Ambition and Industriousness.
Males: Youth, Beauty, Chastity.
Just how much of this is true?
Females wise, I can speak for myself and say YES. It's true as far as I'm concerned. I generally am attracted to more ambitious men who know what they want in life, and work towards it. Unlike those who are unmotivated and have no sense of direction to steer their life. I mean, how are you supposed to support your woman if you manage to find yourself one. Men should take of care of their ladies, call me traditional if you like.
Money is also attractive. Not just for materialistic factors, although I am highly materialistic, but for stability as well. Preferably, I would not like to be stressing every day thinking how am I going to feed myself and my children. I think money will give a peace of mind for some issues, but for sure, money can't buy you everything, I know that for a fact.
My own preferences however... well, they're my preferences! This is what I as an individual finds attractive in a man. So please respect if you find something disgusting which I like!
I'm not difficult to please, but is someone who is very difficult to like somebody meaningfully (LOVE). I'm not a cheesy person by the way, but I'm not afraid to use the L word.
A few things that I'm a sucker for are just simple things, hence why not difficult to please.
1. Masculine Smell
I'm really sensitive to smells, a smelly guy= instant turn off
a fresh smelling man= girl gone crazy!
I once had a strange encounter, well kind of, with a jogging man. He was covered in sweat. I was thinking, oh gosh this guy's gonna smella B.O. How flipping wrong was I! He smelt very nice indeed... It was a sweet, musty kind of smell. But yes, what they say about getting sweaty with the opposite sex is a turn on, because of the pheromones in our sweat. There's a bit of science for ya ;D
2. Smiling eyes w/ Long Eyelashes
You know the kind that when they smile, and their eyes scrunch up with a bit of glisten in them. Dark or light eyes will do the trick. Any nice eyes, I'm dead and gone to heaven. No matter how clichéd, this is a worthy one. Like the next...
3. Nice Mouth
Smiling eyes and a flashing a nice set of teeth at the same time? Oh gosh, I'm short of breath! Someone with tanner skin, which is one of my preferences, will make teeth look whiter ;)
Some nice pinky cushiony lips will be nice to kiss too!
4. BedHead
Need I explain, it's too damn sexy. If he looks like he's just got out of bed, my kinda guy! I'm more into the texturised, surfer kind of hair. Generally, I prefer longer styles in men. It'd be nice to just put your hands on...
5. Facial Hair
As in STUBBLE, not beard. Never mind if it cuts my face, it looks pretty damn hot!
Substitute that into a single male equation...........................
There we have it. A perfect example of male perfection.
Oh, a sexy deep voice, not too deep, is highly desired! Love it if he can sing well, and play guitar at the same time... Oh gosh, MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION!
For the record, I don't care all that much about a guy's body. I have body issues myself, I'd hate it if my man would beat me down for it. So why would I beat down his? However, I'd hate to have my man stand next to me, and me being chunkier than him. In my mind, the woman should be more slender than the man. But only in my mind, not to mean that it's the standard. In fact, I'd love to have a chubby male, just to cuddle and put on head on. I'd find him far less intimidating than someone with the likes of Marlon's abs... Although he is looking pretty smokingggg! Aha...
Well, dozing off again...
What does everyone else find attractive in a man? And to males, what do you find admirable in another man, that you'd like to have? I'd really like to know!
For now, night all though!

Your Perfect Date...
So I'm sat at my dining table, after an all-nighter of "revision". I think I've inflamed my ligaments from writing so many essays in preparation for my exams. AS Levels are surprisingly difficult to adjust to, especially if you've developed BAD habits from GCSE. Total lack of motivation and revision syndrome. So I'm sitting here, listening to the birds sing at 5:26 am on this Monday, when I have a massive Psychology exam tomorrow. My mind is just wandering off... to my perfect date! And I felt like blogging this, I've missed blogging. I have loads of posts I could've done, but too little time!
I never really thought about what my perfect date would be like. You know, as in the typical cinema date so you and your date don't have think of what to say to avoid awkward moments, would be the first thing that spring into mind. But no! A film on a date? Save that for weekends cosying up man! This is just my opinion on dates, if you enjoy cinema dates, that's great! As long as you enjoy yourself, that's all that matters on a date.
I thought of other things... Posh restaurant? Candle lit dinner for two with a glass of wine and violinists playing in the background? Nahhhhh... Maybe at some point in my life, but not for the current 17 going on 18 kind of girl I am. So then, maybe pizza on a park bench? Still, no. So what the heck would be ideal date then?
ZOO. Yup, going to the zoo. I can just imagine myself, with my date, and I'd be running around dragging him along being like "oh look at that moody gorilla!", "omg a hippo!", "awww the bear is so cute, he looks like you!" you know, that kind of thing. If you've seen the grumpy King Kong in Bristol Zoo you'll probably know what I mean! I just think it'd be great, if the date location was a surprise, and my date ended up taking me to a zoo, it'd just be amazing. Simply amazing. It'd have to take someone who knows me well enough to know, I guess typically it is the cinema, or shopping. I'm known for my love of 'shop till you drop'. But dates wise, please, just anything FUN and not too try hard. Spontaneity is also good, scores highly in my books!
Moving on from dates, how about romance? Since summer seems to edging its way into the UK (YAAY!), I'm quite fancying a holiday romance. My mind seems to make up scenarios, of me on holiday and meeting someone, you know, hot out of this world is the best way to put it. But things like that just don't happen to me anyway, as if. But just imagine... You're on holiday, all sun kissed in the sun. And he's just there. He looks at you, you look at him... Sexy. You can exercise your imagination with what's to come of that. And after holiday, return to life as normal. Time to get flight booking to Brazil I'm thinking!
...And your kinda guy? My kinda guy... Marlon Teixeira. My kinda guy... Choi Seung Hyun (TOP from Big Bang). Andy On, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Dean Fujioka, Orlando Bloom, Huang Xiao Ming... blah blah blah. So Many Guys! So what is my type? "I don't have type", as Jet Li says. I did used to. Anyone, strictly not Chinese. Which I find totally bollocks nowadays! There are plenty of amazing Chinese guys out there! I once knew one. But today, my preferences have changed so much from say, what, 3-4 years ago. Puberty sure does a lot to you physically, but psychologically too man!
Dozing off, need sleep... Will post another post soon.
Morning world while I sleep... xxxxxxxzzzzzz
