Hong Kong Disneyland





There isn't  a better way to start off this posts than stating the fact that I love Disneyland!
 No matter how many times you go to Disneyland its always going to be a… magical experience.

My first ever Disneyland experience was years ago and I almost cried with happiness as soon as I entered.The feeling was exactly the same this time too.

After some must-have snaps at the main disneyland gate and near the train station I finally decided to put the camera away and enjoy and get to the serious stuff.... the rides.


I couldn't decide where to go first so I planned smartly and grabbed some fast track passes to all the rides I really wanted to go to and while I was waiting I enjoyed exploring the souvenir shops and cafes, and DAMN I wanted to buy everything. 


Tip- Get fast track passes to avoid standing in line for hours… YES HOURS!






               


Disneyland is the happiest place on earth even when its raining and gloomy, which also meant that the night parade which i'd been waiting for all day wouldn't happen but I did watch the evening parade and it was MAGICAL.





 I went on almost every ride at the park, taking every little detail in. I took tons of pictures and declared that I would happily live at Disneyland, humming "Its A Small World" Song.












                      

I hopped and skipped through the park and eventually after tons of mini shopping sprees I made my way to the space mountain rollercoaster.. the ride i was made for!
After a bite to eat I crept into a cruise and sailed through the mysterious forest where Tarzan lived.


(Oops the quality become terrible when i converted the video into a gif...sorry)



                                                                                                                                                                                        



The day ended with fireworks at the Sleeping Beauty Castle and you can’t fail to feel a little nostalgic as you see the castle lit up with characters and fireworks.

kylie Cosmetic Lip Kit


So I’m Gonna Review The Super Hyped Kylie Lip Kit That Everyone Has Been Talking About….

I'm not really good with liquid lipsticks and I've only used this one Nyx matt lipstick that I own  besides kylie lip kit. but now I have finally realised how amazing liquid lipstick are, they are easy to apply and are more pigmented than the normal classic stick lipsticks, oh and they last way longer too.And for that reason alone I am now obsessed with liquid lipsticks.

when I got to know that kylie was launching her own line of lipsticks and glosses , I was just like meh.. but after looking at all those gorgeous pictures and watching review videos on youtube…out of curiosity, I just NEEDED to try one myself! 

I couldn't get my hands on the lip kit when it was released online the first few times,
It felt like purchasing a concert ticket… am I'm never the one with great luck when it comes to things like this. But eventually I did manage to get myself one and honestly the price is not to bad either.


I got Exposed which is a Nudey Warm Brown Shade, it goes perfectly with a casual look, but is also kinda a night time shade.
and I love it mostly cause it doesn't make me look vampire-ish with my pale skin..




The liquid lip stick is super creamy and easy to apply, it doesn't dry too quick and smells like food flavouring...and thats not my fav, so not too fond of how it smells.

#1Tip-DO NOT smack your lips together while its wet cause you're gonna end up with flaky chunky bit on your lip ~.~

After applying it my lips became super dry and flaky...more than usual and you could see the deep lines and dryness, which was a bummer.

#2Tip-Exfoliate and moisturise you'r lips before applying the lipstick.
