hi loves 🌷i tried a lash lift for the first time & FOR FREE 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝!! 🤭 good things must share so i'm gonna #SpillTheTea 🍵

⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅

🤍 i'm usually a extensions girlie so i was worried a lash lift wouldn't look good on me because my natural lashes are SUPER THIN AND DROOPY 🫠

🤍 BUT as you can see, OMG THE LASH LIFT MADE MY LASHES STAND AND CURL SO NICELY!!!

🤍 it helped bring more attention to my eyes, opening them up and making them look bigger 🥰

🤍 ofc it isn't as dramatic as lashes, but i think lifts are perfect for the no make up make up look!!! plus you don't have to worry about gaps as it fades / touch ups unlike with extensions 🤧🫣

🤍 sometimes it'll be trainee tech that does your lashes, but usually they will state it in the post!

🤍 i tend to be quite cheapo 🫣 so i've been to a few 'model' slots before for my lashes/ nails where they offer free/ heavily discounted services! 💯

🤍 OFC please only book if you're comfortable with that!!! and do your research to see if this brand is reputable/ experienced 🤧 however i do believe in the phrase you get what you pay for, so PLS DONT EXPECT IT TO BE PERFECT!! i still love the way mine turned out!!

🤍 by Girl Math Logic, i actually earned ~$100??? 🤩

🤍 damn lucky bc i got it done the night before my bf's bday!!! my original lash appointment with another salon got cancelled bc the tech fell sick 🥵 so this came in CLUTCH for me & i'm happy with the result 💯

⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅

🤍 if you're a busy gal, traveling soon or lazy gal like me & want to look EFFORTLESSLY put together with MINIMAL effort, i'd recommend trying lash lifts!! ✨

one of the most coveted perks of being a content creator is collaborating with your favourite brands! before i started on lemon8 i had one or two opportunities to work with smaller brands, and these would come like once every few months. since i started really focusing on growing on this platform, i began to see brands take note of my content and my efforts.

this is definitely as super exciting time for me — getting to work with well known names that i’m a huge fan of, and also smaller brands who trust me with showcasing their passion projects.

i’m for sure no where near even the mid tier level of an “influencer”, but i hope that this can give some hope to new and budding creators that started from ZERO that collaborating with brands is definitely within reach!

here are 3 things i’ve done over my past year as a creator to start securing brand collaborations!

1️⃣ creating a distinct brand/ style for yourself

majority of brands that approach me cite my creative and artistic posts as a major draw factor! especially smaller business who are looking for suitable creators to propose collaborations with. even established brands have told me that they love my aesthetic and style!

i’m super proud of my personal aesthetic on lemon8 that i’ve meticulously maintained since the start — if you see this style on the cover, you immediately know it’s me!! this creates a brand identity that is recognisable to your audience and to brands.

2️⃣ don’t be afraid to reach out, and don’t be afraid of rejection

i have successfully secured many brand deals simply by being the first person to reach out. in some cases it’s not that brands don’t want you, they just haven’t found you yet! if i see a brand that i like who is open to working with creators with similar engagement/followers as me i may consider sliding into their DMs to propose a collaboration . you may not get a deal there and then, but now the brand may be made aware that you exist for future opportunities!

when you reach out to brands, always share how you can value add to them as a creator — sharing some statistics can be a good way to do this (engagement rates, follower count etc), and offering what you are willing to provide: eg. 1 lemon8 post/ 1 IGreel etc

at the same time don’t be discouraged if brands don’t reply/ignore you. you will no doubt get more “seen”s than positive responses. i used to take this as a blow to my self esteem, but realising that maybe it’s just not a door that is open for me just yet just gives me more motivation to continue growing!

(also please don’t spam brands just to get them to notice you!!)

3️⃣ start establishing yourself of different social media platforms

lastly, while lemon8 may be your main platform, it does not hurt to be active on other social media platforms while lemon8 is still growing to become more established as a platform! i would say a good 90% of messages from brands reaching out comes on instagram (even to engage you for a lemon8 post!)

many brands are still unfamiliar with lemon8 as a platform, so having an ig profile that gives off a good impression of you as a creator is worth building as well, so that brands may be more willing to engage with you as a creator, and be open to the idea of having you generate content on lemon8 too!

✨✨✨

i’ve JUST passed my 1 year mark as a creator on lemon 8 this week! and despite being a fresh face to content creation when i just joined, the platform has helped build my confidence and given me so many opportunities to grow and engage with brands i love!

i started lemon8 with a decent following on instagram (but i barely posted) and no other experience with content creation (i open tiktok like once a month tbvh). even then just by following these simple steps i’ve been able to see an immense growth as a creator that brands are starting to recognise in a few months.

no doubt i still have a long way to go, but i’m certain with consistent effort and passion for content creation, i can get where i want to be

if you have any thoughts, or advice that you’d like to give me as someone who is still learning and growing, let me know in the comments below 🌷😘

I can finally understand the hype of this liquid blush 🫶🏻

I got the rare beauty liquid blush in the shade Hope & the colour is extremely pretty 🤍

It blends out surprisingly well & evenly! Using your fingers to blend the colour is much easier as compared to using a brush!

& omg it really lasted me for an entire day (i didn’t even have to touch up)

i even use it for my lips 👄 (saw it somewhere from tiktok!)

You can get this shade online on sephora! tried to find it physically in store but they only have the brighter shades avail!

Diary of a Bagaholic 07: gotten this dupe Hermes garden bag which I so loved!

has been hesitating whether to get it as it's a dupe. sometimes it's not just about the price. Spending 10k on a bag is wayyy above my paycheck and I don't even know if it suits me in the long run. But I like it for its size, strong structured shape and easy to match style and not for its brand. if Charles and Keith has a bag in this design and uses Genuine leather I would definitely get it.

the positive side of getting a dupe is, if I used it and over time realize that I really like it, it makes it clear to me getting the real deal is worth it. and thus saving it up for it will make sense. but that's just me. anyone share same thoughts?

when I bring this bag out, I'm frank in telling friends that I got this genuine leather bag from Taobao. it has no H logo anywhere on the bag.

Does anyone else love to smell their bags when they purchase new calf leather bag. I super love the smell. let me know in comments.

this bag can fit in so much stuff and I'm not kidding.

-my makeup pouch (foundation, loose powder, concealer, lip balm, blusher, mini brushes, mirror all inside)

– HP holder

-umbrella

-bag strap (comes with bag)

-coin pouch

-tissue

-work pass

-headphone

-card holder

💰 Price: SGD 50, inclusive shipping is another S$8-10 I think

Hello ladies,😚😚 I am sure we all heard about small top big bottoms but doesnt that just mean crop tops and long bottoms (i thought so too😅😅) but no worries we are here to help you!🤩😝

The term 'small top' extends beyond crop tops to encompass tops that offer a tailored fit. These tops often feature a minimalist design, directing attention towards the bottoms👖

When it comes to bottoms, choosing those with a flared or wide-leg style, projecting a voluminous look, or A-line skirts, all fall in line with the concept of 'big bottom'👗

You guys really loved my previous installment of how to style a pear-shaped body so I'm back with another post with more tips- this time focusing on PANTS and blazer sets!

I am someone who usually prefers dresses- pants can be quite tricky to style and get into for me as I'm bottom-heavy 🥹 so for all of you who struggle with the same issue, here are things you should look out for!

1. STRAIGHT CUT/ WIDE LEG/ FLARE BOTTOMS

Look out for labels like this when choosing jeans or pants. Avoid skinny jeans like the plague unless you're styling them with lots of accessories- but even then, they may just be downright uncomfy!

Straight cut and wide leg jeans reduce the focus on wider hips and give a cleaner overall look.

2. DRAW ATTENTION DOWNWARDS

You can also opt for flare bottoms, as they draw the attention away from hip area downwards. Wide cuffs are also coming back into fashion in jeans and pants, and the focal point is adjusted down to your shoes.

You can pick an eye-catching boot (e.g. lace up, buckles) or a bejeweled heel. Keep your upper half simple if you are doing this!

3. DRAW ATTENTION UPWARDS

Pick crop tops that are unique to put more visual interest in the top half of your body. This can be in the form of embellishments, ruffles, or ruching.

Avoid dramatic sleeves that redirect the focus downwards again when your hands are down, and pick cuts like padded shoulders instead.

4. ADD VOLUME ON TOP

Balance out the smaller top half of your body to fake an hourglass shape. This can be done in the form of ruching or ruffles, or in a cowl top (also adds interest!). This balances out your body, especially in pieces that may hug your hips and accentuate them (especially satin skirts).

5. PAY ATTENTION TO CUTTING

Pick oversized blazers that end below your butt, instead of just above or around it. When your blazer ends above your hips, the focal point of your fit gets drawn back to your hips and it ends up looking less “clean” and tailored.

Also opt for high-waist bottoms, especially if your pants has a unique waist cutting (asymmetrical) or lots of details (ties/ ribbons/ buttons).
