#FOTD : Feeling orangy rangy

Hey ho! It's been awhile since my last post. I completely forgot to use the auto scheduled publish! But anyway, it doesn't matter. I'll post my very 1st #FOTD now.

I have been curious about the NC/NW skin colour code because seems like everybody used it to describe their skin tone. So I searched on the web and I found out the answer and tried the test myself because I want to know what my skintone is. 

The result was : "Neutral Warm"

According to the articles Neutral Warm tone skin looks best wearing earthy colour such as : oranges, bronzes, golds, peaches, brick reds, earthy greens, mocha browns and ivory. Anything yellow based would look good for this skin tone.

This triggers me to try wearing yellow tone make up because all this time I believe that I looked like a sick person when I wore anything "orange", be that on eyeshadow or lipstick or even blusher. So I stick to the most safe colour : Pink.

REVIEW : NYX Black Label Lipstick Bling Bling 191

I have been searching for a nude lipstick which colour fits me. Often times I found the colour would be "too dark" or "too pale" or "toning down the skin", but not this time thanks to NYX!

Bought this baby a month ago so I thought now this is the right time to write down a review based on my perspective (a very subjective opinion, I must say).

According to their website www.nyxcosmetics.com :

"A creamy, dreamy lipstick with a velvety smooth finish and hyper-glamorous shades for every look and every inclination. NYX's Black Label Lipstick has rich emollient properties that ensure that the color glides on and envelops your pout at the same time. From Extreme Red to Earthy to Hot Pink, Black Label Lipstick is available in a variety of lipsmacking hues "

CamTalk : Master Raw Learning from Majalah Digital Camera Indonesia

So, yesterday I bought this magazine. I didn't mean to buy any magazine at first, but then I saw this on the shelf, I grabbed it along. What a coincidence, as I have been figuring out how to handle RAW image from my Nikon D5100 (yes, I'm a noob), I found this.

Just as I expected, this was not a wrong move. There are so many informative articles inside this magazine for me, the newbie. 

Blog Tutorials by Vanessa

I'm new to blogging world, well although I've had experiences in the past on writing some blogs  back in 2000's (which clearly I didn't remember the blog address now), I never really learn about how to blog properly.

As of this year I've made my resolution that I have to learn about blogging, so the journey has begun. See the thing is, there are so many blog tutorials in this world wide web, but as a beginner they were too hard for me because of the CSS language thingy which I barely understood (d'oh, back in my high school I even skipped my algorithm class and busy learning Pascal C++ programming to make ambitious programs-which I get bored soon). So, I need a simple tutorial, which minimum word explanations and maximum visual explanations (yep, I'm talking about screenshot baby!).

Today, thanks to google product forum, I accidentally stumbled on this beautiful lady's blog : I Write About You

Her name is Vanessa Eugine, she asked the same question as mine (and I quote):

"Okay, I was just wondering how to do i create a page using a Web address? I want to do label-based pages, which I have done in the past.

But When I go to page tab and select "New Page" there is no option for Web address and brings me straight to another page to type ....

Can someone help?"

Sooo exciting! 

I knew Michelle from the comment she dropped on my previous post. As I visited her blog, I fell in love immediately! She has a very nice blog with a simple layout that makes you focus on the contents. 

The layout

The pictures are not tiresome to be looked at, the size of it perfectly pleasant for the eyes to see with a very good quality compression.
