Hey Nerds,

First day we met our friends Indra and Tim, checked out London Pub and played beer pong. Unfortunately we lost. HAHAHA We were too full to more taste food but ate N&N Sweet Land. It was delicious. Second day we went with our friends Buya and Anu. Tried sushu, dumplings, Sri Lankan food and many delicious foods.

Fashion Now: Alexander Wang - BALENCIAGA




Hey Nerds, 
Fashion Now цуврал маань үргэлжилж байна. Энэ цуврал Taschen хэвлэлийн газраас 2012 онд гаргасан Terry Jones-ийн Fashion Now номноос орчуулан дээр нь загвар зохион бүтээгч, загварын орднуудын шинэ мэдээллээс шинэчлэн хүргэж байгаа шүү.  Энэ удаад:

Александр Ван - BALENCIAGA (Баленсиага)

"Хүний мэддэг, өмсөхөд хялбар хувцас бүтээх, 
гэхдээ үргэлж тэдний хүлээн зөвшөөрөх хязгаарыг нь тултал хийх хэрэгтэй"

Александр Ван, 2006 онд New York-ийн загварын ертөнцөд өөрийгөө танилцуулсанаас хойш тэрээр орчин үеийн загварлаг охидын сонгодог загвар зохион бүтээгч болж чаджээ. 1983 онд Сан Франциско хотод Тайван гаралтай Америк гэр бүлд төрж өссөн Ван, 18 настайдаа New York-ийн алдарт Parsons School of Design(Project Runway anyone?)-д  суралцахаар нүүсэн. Суралцаж байхдаа Marc Jacobs, Teen Vogue сэтгүүл, Vogue сэтгүүл болон Derek Lam-ийн доор дадлага хийж байв. 2-р курсээсээ сургуулиасаа гарж бие даасан өөрийнхөө брэндийг гаргахаар шийдсэн. Тэрээр хэлэхдээ "сургууль намайг хангалттай сорьж чадахгүй байсан, би амьдрал дээр гарч өөрийн хүч чадлыг шаадсан ажил хийхээр шийдсэн". Ингээд 1 жилийн дараа 2006 онд өөрийн Alexander Wang брэндийн дор эмэгтэй ноолууран бэлэн хувцасны коллекцио танилцуулсан нь олны анхаарлыг татаж гэрлийн хурдаар нэрд гарлаа. Түүний загварууд подволк, jeans бол үдшийн гоёлын даашинз шиг сэтгэл догдлуулам байж чадах юм байна гэдгийг харуулсан. Тэр нарлаг Калифорнийн амралтын байдалтай хувцаснуудыг Нью-Иорк гудамжний загвартай зохицуулж, төгс даашинз загварлаг өргөн подволкнуудыг бүтээв. Түүний энгийн бөгөөд дэгжин хувцаснууд нь супермоделиудын өдөр тутмын хувцасны сонголт болсон.

Balenciaga-н эхлэл
Balenciaga-н анхны дэлгүүр 1918 онд Испани дизайнер Cristóbal Balenciaga Испаний Сан Себастиан хотод нээсэн. Тэр үедээ Испаний хааны гэр бүл болон аристократуудыг ихэвчлэн хувцаслаж байлаа. 1937 онд Испаний иргэний дайн дэлгүүрийг нь хаахад хүргэсэн ч Баленсиага дэлгүүрээ Парис лүү нүүлгэж Парист суурьшжээ. Oscar De La Renta, Emanuel Ungaro тэр ч бүү хэл Hubert de Givenchy нар Cristóbal-ийн дор ажиллаж байв. Олон жил хэвлэл болон улс төртэй тэмцэлдсэний эцэст 1968 онд загварын ордоноо хаахдаа "Надад одоо хувцаслах хүн үлдсэнгүй" гэж хэлж байлаа.
1986 онд дахин нээгдсэн ч 1997 онд Nicolas Ghesquière ерөнхий дизайнераар томилогдтол олны анхаарлаас гадуур байсан. Balenciaga 15 жил Nicolas-тай хамт амжилттай ажилласан.
2012 онд Александр, Францын загварын ордон Balenciaga-ийн ерөнхий дизайнераар Nicolas Ghesquière(Никола Гескийар)-н орыг залгамжилж томилогдсон.

Александр хэлэхдээ, "миний хувьд Balenciaga болон Alexander Wang 2 загварын орднууд хоорондоо маш их ялгаатай. 2 загварын ордон 2 өөр хотод байдаг би хувьдаа их баярладаг. (Alexander Wang Нью Иоркод, Balenciaga Парист байрладаг) Яагаад гэвэл өөр өөр түүхийг гаргахад орчин чухал. Alexander Wang бол миний өөрийн түүх, үзэл бодол, сэтгэл шингэсэн байдаг бол Balenciaga өөрийн гэсэн ДНХ, олон жилийн баялаг түүхтэй. Тэр ДНХ-г нь авч явах нь чухал гэж би үздэг юм"

LIP PRODUCT ADDICT TAG

Hello fellow nerds,

Today I'm doing LIP PRODUCT ADDICT TAG. The other day I saw post by Anu Harchu of A 'LIFE' BLOG. And I considered myself tagged in :P I think she was one my inspirations to get more red lipsticks. Anyways here goes my favorite, not so favorite and "products to" try list.




1. FAVOURITE LIP BALM/TREATMENT



Lip Balm - (MALIN + GOETZ) Mojito Lip Balm
I need my lip treatment cause I have extremely dry skin. My lips are like always chapped its so annoying. I think I've tried every mainstream "good" lip balms. Maybe it's the weather I don't know, Mongolia has very very dry weather, its super dry in 364 days a year even though it rains its not enough.  So the product I'm loving lately and really doing wonders to my lips is from (MALIN+GOETZ) Mojito Lip Balm I never heard of this brand before Michelle Phan's Ipsy's January bag. Lemme tell you, this is the product I've been waiting all these years! HAHA anyways yeah this product is great, it's not that greasy or not that shiny. I just love it.
Price: $12 - And I think its inexpensive for this good stuff (Buy its here)

Lip Balm - SMITH'S Minted Rose Balm
And I think you noticed now that I like mint products on my lips. This cute little lip balm, I got it from Sephora. It's just fun product to throw in your makeup and apply it before lipstick. Nothing fancy or extraordinary it just does its job.
Price: $7 - Buy it here

Lip Scrub/Polish - FRESH Sugar Lip Polish
When it comes to exfoliate my lips I used to use my face scrub but I was feeling little fancy and tried this product. It's from FRESH. It does what it said on the package. It contains pretty much every oils that need to restore damaged skin - Meadowfoam seed oil, Jojoba oil, Grapeseed oil and Shea butter.
Price: $22.50 - Price wise it is kinda expensive but little goes a long way. Buy it here

2. BEST EYE CATCHING RED


Lipstick - LANCOME Rouge in Love 181N Saint Honore - deep warm red

Here's me wearing the Rouge in Love 181.  
Ever since Emma Watson starred in the commercial I was completely in love with the line. Even though I never tried it, but I knew this lipstick was amazing. Yes, It is high end brand and it is expensive. I wish I could own every single color of this line. This shade 181 is what true red color means. It's matte and also super creamy doesn't make your lip Gobi desert.  Everytime I wear it I get lot of compliment. Girl if you need go-to red lipstick get this one. And thank me later.
Price: $28.50 (Buy it from my fav store Sephora here) (Or from LANCOME online store)





3. BEST LUXURY, DRUG STORE PRODUCT


Best luxury lipstick #1 - MARC JACOBS BEAUTY LoveMarc Matte Lip Gel - 142 Pout matte soft nude
I absolutely adore everything Marc Jacobs does. When he comes up with the beauty products I was jumping up and down. (Finally something I could afford to buy :P haha no seriously~~) I love this matte lipstick, like every fashion girl, we KNOW everything matte is on trend right now. This color is perfect nude for my skintone, I use this lipstick almost everyday. Somedays you don't want wear makeup but also you don't want to look sick. So this lipstick is perfect for everyday look.
Price: $30 Umm hello?! It's Marc Jacobs! (Buy it here. They have 5 different matte colors and tons of different shine finish gels too)



Best luxury lipstick #2 - URBAN DECAY Revolution Lipstick - Anarchy bright fuchsia

First of all, I'm not bright pink or fuchsia kind of girl. But I attracted to the name of it. ANARCHY! It first reminded me of Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the U.K" song. If Nancy Spungen(Sid's girlfriend) were alive she would totally wear this color. I love this color because it make feel young, free, grunge(in a rock way) and punk rock.
Price: $22 (Buy it here)





Best drugstore lipstick - POP BEAUTY Pouty Pop Crayon - Rose Romance

It's simple nude with pink toned lipstick. Good for everyday look. Got it from Ipsy's July 2013 bag
Price: $8 (Buy it here)



4. BEST MAC



Lipstick - MAC COSMETICS Viva Glam Rihanna frost
Unfortunately I'm not an expert of MAC. I own only 3 product from MAC. And my favorite one is Viva Glam collection Rihanna's frost. This feels so glamorous. This collection also has the lipgloss. Which goes well together with the lipstick.
Price: $16 (Buy it from MAC)

5. THE MOST DISAPPOINTING LIP PRODUCT



Lipstick - NARS COSMETICS Matte lipstick Honolulu Honey nude
I think to me this was the most disappointing lipstick ever. For high end brand like Nars this product felt like chalk doesn't go with my lip. It's super super dry. I slapped really thick lip balm before applying this lipstick but it keep drying out my lips. And after few minutes it gives you weird white lines. Not recommended at all.
Price: $26 (Sephora)


6. LIPLINER YES/NO?


I own only one lipliner. I don't use it at all actually, it's more like souvenir. So to me no. Guess I'm not used to applying lip liner or I'm too lazy. Everytime I line my lips I look like a duck. or Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger I dunno :P

7. BEST GLOSS


I don't wear that much gloss anymore. But when I do it's always on special occasion. My favorites are FRESH Sugar shine lip treatment
Price: $18.50 (Sephora)
MAC COSMETICS Rihanna Viva Glam Tinted Lipglass
Price: $15 (Right here)

8. SOMETHING EXTRA


 LIP STAIN - BENEFIT COSMETICS Benetint Rose
If you don't want to look dead just apply this on your lip and cheek and Voilà! you're alive.
Price: $30 (Become alive Here)


Recommended Luxury lipstick - MAC COSMETICS Morange
Price: $16 (MAC Lipsticks here)

Recommended Drugstore lipstick RIMMEL LONDON Lasting Finish KATE MOSS color 12 orange
Price: $5.49 (Rimmel London Kate Moss is here)


Orange color is so in this year. I recommend two of my favorite orange colored lipsticks. It's such a fun, bright color I think - when you wear it with the right outfit anyone can pull off orange colors.

And I tag you! Leave me the link of your post or name of the addicted lipsticks in the comment section.
