9GAG, 9GAG reader, applications, draw something, edit, Iphone, ipod, personal, pictures, pixlromatic, reviews

Well as you all may have realized, more and more people are starting to use iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and so on. Similarly like my previous post, I will now review a couple of new applications that I have tried.

1) Draw Something: Oh my, do I even need to review this? Have you ever heard of the ‘draw something addiction/fever’, oh are you one of them too? Well, indeed this game is known to be addictive. However, I have a slight different point of view. Call me boring, call me not fun. I am not a big fan of draw something. I mean, it is fun but just not too enjoyable for me. I’m not creative. Oh god, I have difficulties drawing what I’m suppose to draw. And guess what, even harder for me to guess too. Yep, that’s me. That’s my personal opinion. However, you should take a shot, maybe you’ll end up with the majority who are in love with this application. What I like about this: the idea. It is a very creative application. Allowing people to connect and have fun through drawing and guessing? Perfect! What I dislike: the words are pretty hard to express and yet again, I’m not this kind of person. Sorry guys.

Rating: 3/5

2) Pixlromatic: I just tried this. It’s a great application for editing. It definitely has great varieties to choose from. It is a unique application that has unique names for editing. Here is an example:

This one, I included the dots.


While this, with the same picture, I added the ‘rain effect’. It’s quite cool. You should try this. Here is a sample on the choices (how I did it):

It’s free too. What really stops you from getting this?

Rate: 4/5 – Nah, as much as I love it. I don’t use it often. So nah, not a 5

3) 9GAG Reader: this is actually an application for http://www.9gag.com If you are unfamiliar with 9gag, it basically has many memes or any other pictures that describes ‘the inside (but viral) joke’ of our generation. Most pictures are funny while some (little) are disturbing. But it is a definitely great application when you are bored or when you are waiting for a friend…. So rather than sitting down and starring at nothing (and being bored, of course). Go read 9GAG. And no, I am not paid by 9GAG to say this. hahaha, I wish, but no. It’s free too so definite try!

Ratings: 4.5/5

 

So today’s reviews are all free applications. Don’t you just love free applications? I do too! You have no guilt to delete and download them anytime. So why not try?

Any other suggestions? Feel free to comment.

Brigt, kiehl's, lipstick, lush, mac, make up, nivea, perfect color, scrub, tips

Today when I was randomly going through my ‘make up station’, as I’d like to call it. I began to realize the number of lipsticks I own! Oh wow, insane!

But I saw some bright colors and I began to wonder if I can pull it off again now like I used to. The answer is no, and here is why. By the way, I am not referring to neon colors it can be bright like the Lady Gaga for mac color! Which is one of my favorite. Here are tips to pull off bright colors:

1) Moisturize, moisturize, and MOSTURIZE: bright colors highlight your lips. Your lips are the center of the show! The last thing you would want to see is a perfect make up, with perfect color lipstick on cracked lips!!!!!!! Definite NO NO

P.s: I’d recommend Kiehl’s lip balm but it’s quite pricey. Nivea would so great too. Mac prep & prime is quite goood too! But remember to scrub your lips 3 times a week! You can get the scrubs from drug stores or even Lush!!

2) Lip liner is crucial: you want your lips to stand out. What if people see the imbalanced color? Or messy lining? Oh no!!! So you would want to get a start with same color based! Besides these will stay on even if you drink, so it’s a plus 🙂 I’d say a nude one would do well and it’s useful, since you can use it with any colors! But if you happen to have the same lip liner as your lipstick then go ahead

P.s: if you’re not too good at putting on lipstick, remember to outline the outer lips and as well as filling. Otherwise, filling would do just fine.

3) Remember, your lips are the center of the show. So, make your other make up neutral. Say you are putting on a bright lipstick, a soft pink or peach blush would do. And neutral (brown, grey, black, or simple eye lining) eye make up should do the job. If it’s too colorful, remember you’ll look like a drag queen!!!

So these are my quick & simple tips.

Good luck & enjoy!

application, camera+, editing, instagram, Iphone, phoster, photography, photos, picframe, review

It’s been a while, and I’ve been busy too.

But I have been trying on many things on my iphone lately. Yes, I’m an active instagrammer now. I love looking at my instagram ‘timeline’. There’s so many nice pictures so I decided to try out some applications:

1) Camera plus: honestly speaking, I don’t think its worth the money. It has a lot of effects but I’d say you can get similar or better effects from instagram or path. Well, I haven’t spend a lot of time with this because my first impression was already bad! 😦 but, I’ll keep updating for any other comments :3 price: $0.99

2) Phoster: well this is slightly more expensive. It’s $1.99 and I was doubting it at first. But I must tell you it’s the best $2 or $1.99 that I have spent!! Completely awesome! Here is an example:

I love it! It’s fun, there’s many many designs you can choose from! You can add your own picture and many moreee!!!! Highly recommended

3) PicFrame: this is just a simple application that allows you to choose a template of frames for your photos. It varies from two photos up to four photos. It has varieties of frames too! From plain colors to patterns. :3 it’s cute and useful for putting few pictures together. I have not found any other better application. Perhaps anyone can suggest?
I’d recommend it but these kinds of application are quite mediocre. So any other cheaper or free application should do just okay! This costs $0.99
Here’s an example:

So I hope you enjoy it and follow me on instagram: shannendermawan. I’ll follow you back! Suggest me any application and i’ll review it 🙂

Thanks!

Shannen 🙂
