Carousels and Couture

I enjoyed the random beauty quiz, so I thought I'd do a fitness quiz, just for fun. Again if you're doing it too, let me know! What's your favourite activity? Love swimming, but it's always difficult, because the weather is so unpredictable. I hate swimming in the cold water. What do you do to keep fit? Mostly I cycle and swim. Recently I've been going to the gym where I use the treadmill, lift weights and the rowing machine. How often do you exercise? It varies, usually once a week? It used to be more often, about three times a week but it's so hard to make the time and effort. Who's your inspiration? I don't believe in thinspo (thin inspiration), I believe in fitspo (fit inspiration). Definitely Bar Refaeli, she looks really good. What do you do when you need inspiration? I'll watch the Victoria's Secret fashion shows! They definitely make me want to get fit. I also watch the VSX body vodcasts with Doutzen Krous, they'e easy

Can you still call it a haul even though there's only one item? Anyway, I finally decided on a hair color! I was dallying between the Luxurious Ruby Black (which is a gorgeous shade of dark red) and Magical Blue Black. Magical Blue Black is a pretty black with a blue sheen in the light. It's so rare that I couldn't find it in departmental stores or Watsons. Even though I had been set on a red shade, I decided to just try out this gorgeous blue black shade. There's very few reviews on the Schwarzkopf palette hair dyes, especially in Asia. It's a little more popular in Europe, and I guess the dyes are more suited to European hair. So I don't know how it'll work on Asian hair, but I guess I'll find out! Keep reading back as ill post the results of my experience. If it works really well, I'll probably buy the Luxurious Ruby Black shade next time!

So I thought I'd just create and do a random beauty quiz! Let me know if you're planning to do it too! What beauty-related item would you never use? Previously I thought I'll never wear nail polish or false lashes, but now I do! But I'll probably never take beauty supplements, because I don't really think they're safe. What is your makeup must-have? Lip balm (which I don't really count as makeup). So it'll be blush! What would you not leave home without wearing? I have to draw my eyebrows, otherwise they're so thin. Minimum I'll wear is some powder and blush, and some eyeliner if possible. How often do you wear makeup? I used to wear it almost everyday, but now I wear it maybe twice or thrice a week? I like to let my skin breathe. Describe your go-to makeup look. Some foundation and powder, pink Canmake blush, I'll do my eyebrows with an eyebrow powder, three shades of eyeshadow (nude highlighter, light brown, dark brown), some
