5 Minutes Makeup

Hello people! Finally have a little breather from the flurry of exams and what-nots, so thought I'd blog a little (considering that our blog is so dead).

So this one's for all you girls out there, especially for the ones who requested for it (you know who you are) - A basic makeup tutorial that's easy to follow and fast. And with a little practice, you'll be a pro in no time!



Okay, here's the deal. Some people think that you should apply concealer or foundation but not both. They believe that foundation would ruin your skin, so it's better to just use concealer on certain areas of the face instead of using foundation on your whole face. There are others who believe that you should use both. It's completely up to you.

Ideally, it would be better to use a brush to apply foundation/concealer and powder more evenly. If you don't have a brush, rub the foundation unto your skin. Be careful around the eye areas, which is especially delicate. Wouldn't want to get premature wrinkles! And powders usually come with handy sponges, so use those if you don't have a brush handy.

Then there is the blusher issue. Some people, like Michelle here, applies the blusher first, then the lip colour. Others however think that you should apply the lip colour first, then the blush. This would prevent one from applying too much blush. Again, it's an individual thing. Try them both, if you want, and see which works best for you.

Instead of lipstick, try a nice shimmery coloured gloss for those pouty full lips.

Hope this has been useful for you girls out there. Happy face-painting! ;p

Blister removal.

See this?

Do you know what this is?
Yup, you're right!
It's a blister.
This is what you get when you don't listen to your guitar teacher.
 (Next time, do remember to play using a guitar pick okay.)
^_^


Yes, it's about 1cm x1cm x 1cm.

A needle.
You'll definitely need dettol for sterilization . 

The process of sterilization.

Using the needle, make a tiny hole.
(for the fluid to escape)



Remember not to peel off the skin as the unbroken skin over the blister provides a natural barrier to infection. As new skin grows beneath the blister, the skin on top will dry and peel off. A dressing may be placed over the blister to protect it.
Ideally, blisters should be allowed to break on their own, only after the skin underneath has healed.



P/S : The above method is a traditional method that has yet to be approved by WHO.
However, from my years of experience, this method works perfectly on me.
Try at your own risk.

EASY DHALL CURRY ...


My darling friends have been asking me dhall curry for ages .
SO, today I'm gonna show how I make dhall curry , so that you can all make it .
 Let your creativity and taste.measurements are just an estimation ) -
1 pot , 1 pan , 1 ladle or maybe 21 cup of dhall ( Š“opox ) - or as much as you like1 tsp of turmeric powder
2-3 bulbs of garlic chopped
1/2 inch of ginger sliced
3 tbsp of oil2 tbsp of mixed Indian spices - optional( from Malaysia , At the moment I kinda forget what they are called - mustard seed , cinnamon stick , cardomon ,and some other stuff )3 dried chillies ( & some fresh chillies , if you want too , fresh chillies are very expensive in Moscow so I don't use them )
1 big onion cut as you like it
2 tbsp of tomato paste or 2 fresh tomatoes cut
1 tbsp of cumin powder1 tbsp of coriander powdersalt to taste some fresh coriander
Method -
1. Wash the dash & soak the dhall in a dish with cold water , overnight ,or if not, for a few hours. The water should be covering the dhall .If you don't have the time to soak them , you can boil them when you are cooking it but it would take a longer time to cook . By soaking , the beans ( dhall ) will be softer & faster to cook .
2. Boil water in a big pot ( enough water to cover the dhall ). Add in the dhall , turmeric powder and 1/2 of the chopped garlic & let it cook for 30 minutes up to 1 hour till the dhall gets soft . You may cover the pot , but make sure the cover has a hole where the pressure from inside the pot can get released by itself . To check if the dhall is cooked , try taking 1 biji dhall and pinch it with your nails. 
If it feels soft & it breaks , it's cooked . While the dhall is boiling you may notice white foamy material building up on the top part , just remove it . [ Use medium fire - be careful , there might be spillage of the foamy material ]


3. When you think that the dhall is cooked , prepare another pan . 
Put oil in the pan & heat it up. Then , add in - the Indian spices , 
dried chillies, ginger , garlic & fry . Be careful not to burn them .
 Once you get the aromatic smell of the spices , 
add the onions & fry till the onions are light brown. [ Use medium fire ]


4. Now you have a big pot with dhall ( it might look like dhall soup by now ) 
and a pan with the fried stuff , right ? 
So , next , add the fried stuff from the pan into the pot with dhall. 
Let the admixture simmer a bit . 
The dhall should look soft maybe slightly squashed up like by now . [ Use medium fire ]



5. Later on , add tomato paste or fresh tomatoes , cumin powder ,
 coriander powder and salt to the dhall curry. 
Bring it to boil . Taste & modify the taste by adding more tomato 
paste/fresh tomatoes , coriander powder , cumin powder or salt
 if you are unhappy with the taste .


6. After the modifying and tasting session , 
give a pat on your back for being succesful
in making dhall curry . If you want to make it better ,
 garnish with chopped coriander .


7. Take the pot of the stove . Serve your " AWESOME DHALL CURRY " 

with rice , bread , pasta , oats , or whatever that comes to your mind . Enjoy !


* You can also add potatoes, brinjals, radish ( lobak putih )
 to this dhall for a complete healthy meal . 
To make it spicier , put more dried chillies or fry 1-2 tbsp of chilli powder 
in the pan before putting it into the curry .
