Quick & Easy Holiday Hairstyles

A Trip to Kota Kinabalu

I went travelling again! This time I went to visit the beautiful Kota Kinabalu. This capital of the Sabah state is a beautiful holiday destination for couples and families. The hotel that we stayed at had a magnificent sandy beach and an orangutan sanctuary. I also had the chance to see magical fireflies and super cute orangutans. On top of that there were tons of water sport activities, such as kayaking, jet skiing and parasailing. If you’re a fan of beach holidays and water sports, you should consider Kota Kinabalu. 

The 1 Day Tattoo Eyeliner

Hello there! Hope you're well! 

Don't we all wish to have perfect makeup on when we leave the house? However things don't always go according to plan. After a long day of school/work we have to face the results of runny mascaras and disappearing foundations. One of my biggest frustrations is having a pair of panda eyes from smudged eyeliner. That's why when I found a 1 day tattoo eyeliner in Japan, I was really excited to try it out. 

How I Style Chelsea Boots for Autumn

Hello there! Autumn has arrived and it is time to fish out my autumn/winter clothes. This beautiful season is the perfect time to start wearing boots. My favourite pair of boots has to be my Chelsea boots from Clarks. These are my second pair and I still love skipping around in them. I think the they're extremely comfy and versatile for the chillier weather.  They also have a tiny heel which helps add an inch of height to the petite-sized me. In this video I tossed a few autumn outfits together with my Chelsea boots, I hope you like it! :D

Alyce Styles: Air Force 1s

I love wearing trainers because they're really comfortable and versatile. I recently bought a new pair of Air Force 1s so I thought it would be a good idea to make a lookbook for them. Here is a video of some looks that I've put together with my new trainers. Hope you like it!

Being Different

Have you ever had anxious thoughts about others' perception of you? Do you ever feel you should behave or dress in a certain way in order to fit into the crowd? 

Let's go to Phuket!

Hi guys! Hope you are having a great week! I went to Phuket last week and I must say it was AMAZING. It was my first time visiting Thailand and I was really impressed by the spectacular views on the plane. I spent a long weekend in Phuket and stayed on an island called the Coconut Island. Relaxation was priority so it was a really chilled trip with plenty of visits to the beach.

Fire Noodle Challenge!

Hi there! Hope you're having a good week. As you can see from the title, this post is about one of the latest viral challenges - The Fire Noodle Challenge. I love eating noodles, so when I first saw this challenge on YouTube I thought this challenge was just up my street! Unfortunately, I was extremely wrong and totally underestimated the power of the noodles.

Taking Part in the Liebster Award

This is a REALLY overdue post. As you can probably tell from the title that this post is about the Liebster Award. First of all, I want to say a BIG thank you to Chameen for nominating me for this award! It's certainly a great opportunity for all readers and bloggers to know more about each other. I feel really honoured to be nominated and to be participating in this! 

Smart Summer Looks

Top: Topshop, Trousers: ZARA, Shoes: H&M

There are certain occasions where we would often be asked to dressed smartly. I sometimes find it tricky to dress in smart attire, especially in the summer. Since the weather is already very warm, the last thing I want to do is to put myself in a hot stuffy suit. Recently, I came up with a few ideas for smart looks in the summer. 

Japan Haul

Japanese products are famous for their good quality and creative designs. Whether it is a drugstore or high end brand, Japanese cosmetic companies have a great reputation in the global market. Not to mention the well known beauty products that intrigued the world, from sleek eyeliners to funky face massagers. 

Osaka Bound

Hello! Hope you are well! Here is the final vlog of my last trip to Japan. I will be taking you to Osaka, the second largest city of Japan. This bustling city is situated in the Kansai area and it is well-known for its Japanese street food, such as Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki. Takoyaki is basically ball shaped batter filled with pieces of octopus whereas Okonomiyaki is a Japanese style omelette which also consists of a thick batter that can be layered with a variety of fillings. 

Kyoto, Kobe & Osaka Aquarium

Hello! I hope this post finds you well! I wanted to upload this video last week but I got caught up with the busy week and I haven't had time to finish off the editing. Thankfully, I found some spare time before the weekend and managed to upload the video! :D

This time we will be heading to the south of Japan. We will be going to Kobe (to eat the famous Kobe beef), Kyoto (to experience the traditional Japanese culture) and the Osaka Aquarium (in hope of finding Nemo).

DisneySea Vlog

DisneySea was amazingly fun and the park was massive! The park's theme was based on a more nautical concept, it also has more thrilling rides compared to Disneyland. Instead of a Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty’s castle, there was a Triton's palace which had a mermaid lagoon within. It definitely looked like a scene from the Little Mermaid. 

Hair Braid Day

Tokyo Bound

  

Previously, I mentioned I travelled to Japan and visited Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. It was an amazing trip and I would like to share this great experience with you. I decided to create vlogs according to the cities I visited, and I have finally finished editing my first video!

Where is AforAlyce?!

Hello, hello! It has been such a long time since I last made a post. (+_+") Almost 2 months ago??

I have been busy with work and travelling. I travelled to Japan and visited Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. It was such a great experience, I ate a lot of scrumptious Japanese food! Hopefully I can whip up a vlog video soon, so I can share my great time there with you! :D

Japanese Curry Fix

I love having curry on colder days, and Japanese curry is one of my favourites. I think Japanese curry is a super filling and delicious dish. Back in secondary school, my friends and I would crave for Katsu curry all the time. It was the perfect dish, especially during winter. A hot plate of curry with a crispy cutlet and steamy rice was so satisfying! I haven’t had Japanese curry for a while, because I have no idea where to get one in Hong Kong. Recently, a friend recommended a Japanese curry chain called Coco Ichibanya. I went there with two other friends for a curry fix.

A Day @ Hong Kong Disneyland

I recently went to Hong Kong Disneyland on my day off. I deliberately chose to go on a weekday to avoid the massive crowds and the endless queues. Seriously, I avoid going to theme parks on public holidays and weekends because you end up paying to wait for hours.

Curls

I often straighten my hair because it keeps my hair tidy and less of a bird’s nest.  However I do get a little bored with my straight hair from time to time, and I would look for new ways to style it. One of the easiest and most convenient methods is curling my hair with my straighteners. Recently, I tried creating soft curls by curling strands of my hair outwards. 

Denim, DENIM!

Hi, I'm back! I have been busy editing my new video. After some trial and error, it's finally ready! The theme for this video is denim.

Denim is definitely one of the trends this year. I have been seeing so many denim looks on runways and magazines. This cool blue material is so versatile, I decided to coordinate some looks using denim pieces. 

Extra-volume Collagene Waterproof Mascara by L'Oreal

When it comes to make up, eye makeup must be my favourite. Despite looking like a puff fish after a bad night’s sleep, a simple touch up around the eyes can instantly wake me up.  One of my favourite make up goodies is definitely my collagen volume mascara by L'oreal Paris. I have been using this mascara for years and I am still loving it. After going through a number of mascaras, I can say that this mascara has been the best so far. From texture to colour, it has ticked off my all boxes. Initially, I started off with its original mascara that came out with Eva Longoria as its spokesperson. It was roughly around £8 when I bought this. Being a student at the time, I did find it a little pricey but I'm so glad that I bought it! 

Ever since I started using the original collagen mascara, I have moved onto the waterproof formula because my eyelids can get a little oily at times. The waterproof formula reduces smudging under my eyes which helps prevent a panda looking me.

Dress Code: SMART CASUAL

Lately, I have been busy working on my new video which is based on smart casual wear. Recently, I was invited to a smart casual event and it inspired me to make a video based on this dress code. After staring at my wardrobe for a while, I realised it’s not easy to grasp the gist of ‘smart casual’. Therefore I decided to coordinate  a few outfits based on this theme.

What’s your take on the ‘smart casual’ dress code?

  

Twinkly Nails

I got a sample bottle of nails inc polish in a dark purple shade from
last month's copy of Glamour magazine. I wasn’t used to the dark
shade of purple because I normally go for brighter colours. I
decided to add a bit of sparkle to edge things up.

I love glitter nail polishes, because they make your nails look so nice and twinkly. However they do seem to take a lot more time to apply and remove. Wouldn’t it be great if there is a glitter polish that could be easily applied and removed? Well, I think I found one that satisfies both criteria. I am very please with its texture and amount of glitter. It has earned a spot on my list of favourite polishes. Woohoo! :D

So my current favourite glitter polish is....
