Christmas = LOVE

I always get excited for Christmas..
all the decorations, hot chocolate, warm blankets, presents, spend time with your loved ones..
mMmMMmmMm..

This Christmas, I am taking a trip to Las Vegas & California with the boyfriend !
I am super excited because we are also going to be celebrating our 100th day Anniversary!
We still need to finish booking hotels and car rentals but I'm just ready to go and enjoyyyyyyy my vacation!
Any recommendations on where I should stay/visit/EAT in Las Vegas or California?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Any of you ladies will be in Las Vegas or CALI between 12/21 ~ 1/1 ? LET ME KNOW. I'd love to meet you ladies !

In 2 days, my finals start and tomorrow is our 3months anniversary.
But it looks like we'll be spending most of our time in the library ~
..how romantic ~

I am also looking for to see my bestie, STEPHANIE , DSK !!!
She is planning on coming home for Christmas and I really hope I get to spend time with her !
MISS YOU DSK !!

Oh,
So remember how I wrote about my weight loss ?
People have been wanting to see pictures!
Sorry, didnt really get a chance to take a picture but here are some that my bf have taken with his iphone.

BEFORE / AFTER

I'm not sure if you can see the difference..
But yea, I've lost 20lbs over the summer..
From pants size 4 or 6 to a size 0 or 00
(depending on a type of pants I buy)

I've hired a personal trainer for a month..
I worked out with 3 times a day. 2 times with the trainer and 1 on my own.
I only had 1 month to lose wait because I started in the beginning of august til the end of august.
I didn't skip a day of my workout..
Of course, I made sure to eat well at the same time.
BUT I ate A LOT LESS than what I normally eat before..
Chicken breasts, fruits, veggies.. ewww..

It was very helpful to have a personal trainer because I probably couldn't have done it without him..
THANKS DAVE!

It was hard. And I've worked very hard for it.
There were MANY times when I wanted to give up and just be happy with who I am..
But I knew I could be happier..
I've set my goal and I wanted to work for it..and I've earned it.
I'm actually proud of myself..

Thank you for the warm message ladies..
xoxo

[ Hello's ! ]

2009-10-20T21:48:00.002-04:00

Dear my wonderful ladies .. !

It's beeeen years since I've blogged !! So many things have happened in my life and I just needed to take a break from this wonderful blog world..I have been trying to keep up with a lot of your blogs but I was never able to get enough of it !

I sincerely miss all of you wonderful ladies out there .. !

What's new with me ?

1.) This summer, I've lost about 25 lbs ! I hired a personal trainer and worked out with him for about a month before I came back to school. I used to be able to wear pants size 4 ~ 6 and now ? I wear size 0 !!! It feels amazing to lose weight and feel better about myself !! Because I've lost so much weight, I basically had to buy clothes for everything !!! I am still working on my belly and my thighs but they're probably the hardest parts to lose ! If any of you ladies know a good way to lose those parts, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee let me know! I'd love to hear from you !!

2.) I am currently in a relationship with a wonderful man ! I actually met him this summer. He transferred to my school finish off his major from Canada. He is Korean (finally dating a Korean ! LOL) and he and I have so many things in common ! I guess he had a crush on me for a while and I didn't even realize it until his friends told me. We hung out a lot and got to know each other more. And one day, he surprised me and took me to this beautiful lake right before the sunset ! We walked around the lake and waited for the sunset.. and that's when he asked me out =) The best thing about him is that he understands me and always supports me with everything that I do. I love the feeling that I am able to tell him anything and discuss about it if I wanted to. Basically, I'm happy =)

3.) It's been over 2 months since I bought any make-up. Can you believe it ? I don't even know what's new these days.. But I am currently looking for a gooooood handcream for men ! If any of you ladies know, please let me know. I also have this issues with my razor bumps on my legs. I need to know a goooood product for that if any of you ladies know. What's popular these days? Someone update me on make-up ! ehehhehe... I'll probably be able to find out by reading all your blogs! but a little update would definitely help me =)

4.) I finally own iPhone 3G3 !! It's been a little over a month and I loveeeeeeee it !! Any good Apps that I should download ?

5.) I was sick with a cold for about 2 1/2 weeks now. I missed a week of school and I'm in a middle of making up for allllll my classes. This week is not going too well for me ! You ladies, wash your hands often! Carry hand sanitizer with you !! It sucks to be sick when you have so many things to do !!! Take care of yourself ladies !! =)

This weekend, the bf and I are thinking about taking a trip to Chicago because we didn't get to celebrate our 1 month Anniversary. That is only if I am "100% better" according to my bf. hehehe... But this weekend, I'll make sure to post pictures !!!

I hope that allllllll of you ladies are doing wonderful and staying healthy!!

MISSING YOU ALL ... !

[BB Cream Review: Skin 79 & Korean Cosmetics]

2009-05-23T23:24:00.003-04:00

hellloo loveees .

I'm going to do a review on 2 BB Creams that I've just purchased.

Skin79 Diamond Collection
"The Prestige"
40g
$50

&

Korean Cosmetics Ultra
"Ossion"
60ml
$38

.

I loveeee the packaging of Skin79 product because it's pink and shiny.
LOL
I know many girls loveeee pink and shiny things =)
It also has a little pump to use (veryyy convinient)

On the other hand,
I do not like the packing of Korean Cosmetic product because it looks really cheap and it's in a tube.
.

Take a look at these picture:
You can definitely see the difference between these two.
Skin79 product is veryy easy to blend where as the Korean cosmetic product feels cakey.

Blend Blend Blend ~~

.
I basically tried both products this morning
(washed my face TWICE LOL)

.

How do I feel about it ?

ULTRA "OSSION"
I personally did not like this product because it didn't give enough coverages for my blemishes and acne scars.
This might be an excellent one for someone that doesn't need a lot of coverage and wants a super natural look. I couldnt' tell that I had anything on my face after using it.

Skin79 "The Prestige"
I personally like this product and it's something that I would definitely re-purchase again. It felt very light for my skin and yet gave me enough coverage. This will also be one of the product that I'll use daily for a natural/easy look. The only thing that I didn't like about this was that it was a bit pricey.

FOTD using the Skin79 "Prestige"

XOXO

[ Rest in Peace ]

2009-05-22T23:29:00.003-04:00

I came back to Michigan on Friday night.

On Saturday,
My dad wanted to take a random trip to Grand Detroit MGM for a night.

Last time I went to Chicago with Steph, I could not find it anywhere in Mitsuwa..
I've always wondered where I could get them and Mika had bought them in Mitsuwa!!

I officially don't like Mitsuwa in Chicago.
LOL =p

I told Mika that I was super jealous that she found it at Mitsuwa.

She was kind enough to ask me if I wanted her to buy it for me =)
DUH!..

So we e-mailed back and forth and ended up being a swap.

hello my loveees <3

I honestly wasn't going to update anything tonight because I am still tired from the festival and I am JUST starting to get back on my school work since my finals are coming up VERRRY SOON.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the blogger ladies for the wonderful comments, txts and e-mails for supporting me and checking up on me.

It really means A LOT to me.

I am feeling a lot better with everything.. And yes, I am trying to keep myself busy and try to think positive about everything that's going on around me..

All of your comments definitely helped me a lot.

THANK YOU

I absolutely feel A LOT more closer with you all than my college friends..

I also want to let you all know that the Festival went really well this year. Everyone was very pleased with how everything turned out.

I was able to talk to the President of my school and he personally thanked me for all this work that I have put in with all of the e-boards.

so..
"Basically.."

I am super happy and thankful at the moment..

Oh..
I might be a little drunk right now too..
(I thought I deserve a drink today even though it's monday)

I was telling one of my friend how I loveeeeeeee all the blogger ladies and I am super thankful to meet each one of you all <3

THANK YOU

I LOVE YOU ALL

[ Review: THEFACESHOP Oriental Herb Cleansing Oil Gel ]

2009-04-11T22:08:00.003-04:00

hi ladies <3>
I've been wanting to share this GREAT product that I've been using for a while now.

THEFACESHOP
Beautiful Jeong Yeon
"Oriental Herb Cleansing Oil Gel"
"A gel type cleansing oil for a convenient, quick and powerful effect"

It wasn't on my "Chicago Haul" pictures but I bought more of this in Chicago.
This will be my 3rd tube using this.
I seriously love this stuff and smells really good.

"Formulated with a blend of 9 oriental herbs, botanical oil and chestnut inner shell extract, this refreshing deep cleansing gel transforms to a soft, fluid oil upon application and quickly yet effectively removes skin debris, sebum and makeup residue."

Ingredients:
(Click to enlarge the picture)

Oriental Herb Cleansing Oil Gel
It obviously feels like oil and very light.
When you massage all over your face, it melts into your skin SUPER fast and removes makeup at the same time.
I think this stuff does remove your makeup super easily and you don't need to rub it so hard either. I don't use ALOT of eye makeup but I think this will do enough to remove my eye makeup. I pretty much massage it for about 1 ~ 2minutes
..OMG..

I like the fact that it has all sorts of oriental herbs (EVEN BETTER) and is very good for your skin. It smells like baby oil hehehe..

DIRECTIONS:
"Apply evenly over face and gently massage with fingertips in a circular motion until makeup residue and other skin debris are dissolved. Tissue off and wash with warm water"

I usually don't wipe off with a tissue because I think it's such a waste
LOL

I do wash with warm water and STILL massage at the same time.
And of course, I finish off with a COLDDDD water

To me, It doesn't feel oily after I wash my face. I can only feel that it is super smooth and clean =)

And finally,
I finish off with my skincare stuff:

LA MER the radiant infusion
LA MER the moisturizing lotion
LA MER the eye concentrate

+

THEFACEHOP Spot Clear Intensive Patch
( I hope this stuff works!)

If there's thefaceshop near you, I DEFINITELY recommend you all to try this product!

Goood night ladies!

[Review:REVLON's new artificial nails & eyelashes]

2009-04-08T23:41:00.002-04:00

hi ladies <3

so..a while ago
Janet Lai, who is the Assistant Brand Manager of Revlon e-mailed me and asked if I wanted to try their new artificial nails & eyelashes.

Of course, I wanted to try their stuff and I received it about 3 weeks ago .

Janet was kind of enough to send me a lot of their new stuff.
A bit too much?
I don't know why it took me so long to do a review on this but I finally have the package with me and I was able to look at them more carefully.

REVLON'S RUNWAY COLLECTION ARTIFICIAL NAILS

(Click to enlarge the picture)

She sent me 4 different designs of their artificial nails

(Left to right)
Sequins, Mystic, Starlet, Studio

I have acrylics on right now so I wasn't able to try their nails yet but once I get my nails off, I will defiitely try it and let you guys know. But so far ? My favorite ones are Sequins and Starlet just because they're simple and cute.

Here's what's included in the package:

24 nails
Bond Enhancer
Buffer
Maxi-Bond Glue
Manicure Stick

It also provides a "4 Easy Steps" to do this.

This can be convinient for someone that is going out for a special occasions or even to a party and yet you didn't have time to go get your nails done professionally.

Honestly, I'm not an artificial nail person ONLY BECAUSE I can't do them right. I always screw them up and get myself all messy. And to get rid of all that, I like to go get it done professionally.

But I guess it's always a good idea to have one for an "emergency purposes"..
like..when your boyfriend is coming over out of nowhere and yet you want to look good and perfect, this could be your life saver. Yea?

REVLON'S FANTASY LENGTHS EYELASHES

(Click to enlarge the picture)

She also sent me 4 different kinds of lashes..

(Top to bottom)
Defining
Defining (Maximum Wear Self Adhesive Eyelashes)
Intensifyng
Lush

Here's what's included in the package:

One pair of eyelashes
Two extra adhesive strips
One applicator

or

One pair of eyelashes
One lash adhesive

CLOSER PICTURES OF LASHES:

DEFINING

INTENSIFYING

DEFINING (MAXIMUM WEAR SELF ADHESIVE EYELASHES)

LUSH

So far, I've only tried the "Intensifying".
I do love it that it's convinient to use! You don't need to put on the eyelash adhesive by yourself since it's already attached to the lashes. I don't use it daily so I'm honestly not used to wearing them. But when I tried their eyelashes, it was easy to put on and didn't feel too heavy.

All you need to do is just peel it off from stand and them trim it if you need to then apply it on your lashes.

This might be a great product to use for someone that uses lashes everyday and yet don't have enough time to do makeup.

Overall, I like Revlon's eyelashes. It works WELL for a drugstore brand.

BTW,
Did you know that Olivia Palermo only wears Revlon's eyelashes?

I read it from a magazine and thought it was pretty cool !

Anyways,
I have too many of Revlon's stuff and I probably will share with few of the blogger ladies.

But I hope you enjoyed this post.

Thank you Janet for giving me an opportunity to try your new products!

Good night ladies!!
XOXOXO

[ A Sweet Surprise Package ]

2009-04-07T22:48:00.004-04:00

hey ladies ~ <3

So right when I came back from my Chicago trip,
there was a package waiting for me!!
Guess who?
Ms. lovely Mona!! <3
Love letter (such a sweetheart)
LUSH "Snowcake" (smells super goood)
Shiseido Chapstick (LOVE this stuff)
Laneige "Water Sleeping Pack Plus" Sample pack (SKINCARE Product!!!!)
Nodogumi Peach (it's all gone now...HEHEHE)

I didnt get a chance to try anything but the snack LOL
but i know i'll be talkin about them later in the future.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH MONA !!
<3333333

I sent her a couple samples of Lush stuff about a month ago because I knew how much she loves Lush products. I know that it's a lot easier for her to get Lush stuff there than me. I do have to drive at least 3~4 hours to get my Lush stuff. But who care! I wanted to share some of mine with her and other blogger ladies BECAUSE I CARE for my blogger ladies.

I totally did not expect anything back from Mona because it's just something that I wanted to do for her and other ladies.

Now,
I am all about skincare products.
I loveee to try new skincare products to see what it does to my skin. And when I do think it works WELL on my skin ? I really would want to share with my blogger ladies as much as I can share!

Money isn't a big deal.
It's the thought that counts and if I think it would make them happier and help them look prettier ? I would definitely try my best to help them.

Like I said on my 1st video,
I learned a lot from other bloggers. And wow, I must say that a lot them have a STRONG BOND with each other.
It's amazing to see that they share/help each other with anything they could when they barely get to see them.

A lot of blogger ladies treat each other like sisters. And if you can't respect that, don't even bother.

Do you get the point here?

shit,
I hate being so emotional.

LOL.

I keep hearing this pointless dramas about "her" doing "that" again.
I really hope that she'll be able to figure out EXACTLY what she's doing wrong and why she's not getting any respect from blogger ladies because she OBVIOUSLY doesn't know what she did wrong.
*sigh*

WE ALL got jobs/work/school and YET we MAKE time to share.
Why? because we care
Why? because we respect each other

I am SURE that you're not the only one that's "busy" because there are MANY other ladies that are A LOT busier and got a lot other stuff to deal with.

If you can't handle being sooo busy with school, don't bother "swapping" with others.

do what you gotta do in school

Anyways,

I can't wait to let you guys know all about it !!

I have my Business Law exam at 9 in the morning.

hi beeyoutifuls <3

So guess what I received today ?

My lovely package from Lady L !

A few weeks ago,
I noticed that she made this really cute bow for other blogger lady!
So I contacted her and she was happy to make them for me !

I ordered a cute red bow & a lovely headbands!

As soon as she finished making them, she sent me a few pictures of them and I was super excited to get them!

to: Lady L,
the front desk worker really loved your handwriting and he would love for you to teach him "how to write alphabet" (wtf....?)

*scratches head*

I do admit that she has an excellent handwriting !

.

*KAWAIINESS*

I love how she packaged them in the cute bag with a super cute message!

Of course, she sent me an extra goodie with them!

[Mascara Collection]

2009-03-31T19:41:00.011-04:00

hey ladies <3

I told myself that I was gonna be super productive today but that didn't happen AT ALL.

School sucks balls & Weather sucks ass
LOL.

For next couple weeks, I will be EXTREMELY busy with school and this big festival that i've been planning for so long !
Being the president of an organization in school, there's so many responsibilities that I need to deal with. It can be a lot of pressure getting things organized and always make sure that we're not behind with anything.

I basically need a break from school ..
And I am really excited for Chicago this weekend.
YUP, I will be doing SOME shopping.
..LOL

Anyways,
Earlier today, I was "trying" to re-organize my makeup collection that I have in my dorm and realized that I have too many mascaras.
I know that I have about 20 other mascaras back at home..
but i'm thinking to myself, "where this all mascaras come from?"
LOL..

So this is how many I have in my dorm:

Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes
Covergirl Lashblast
Covergirl Lashblast luxe
Covergirl exact eyelights
Covergirl LashExact Hydrofuge
Diorshow Black Out Waterproof
Majolica Extended Lash
MUFE Lash Fibers
Maybelline Lash Stiletto
Maybelline lash stylist
Maybelline the colossal Volume Express
Clarins Double Fix'
Shu Uemura ultimate expression

Yeah..
I know I've used all of them at least once..
but there are certain ones that i've been using..

Which ones do I LOVE?

Covergirl Lashblast
Shu Uemura Ultimate Expression
Diorshow Blackout
Clarins
Majolica Extended Lash

For me,
they feel really light even after 2 coats.
It's not cakey & it seems to make my lashes look longer.

On the other hand,

Which ones do I HATE?

Covergirl exacteyelights
MUFE Lash Fibers
Maybelline the colossal volume express

For me,
it doesn't do their "job" that they promised.
CG doesn't make my eye look different with the mascara on.
MUFE ? I just don't know. LOL It didn't do anything for me.
Maybelline ? I hate the smell the most !!

Mascara is super important during our make-up routine.
But I've learned that before I buy a mascara,
always make sure to know exactly what you're looking for and how you want your lashes to look.

time to study for my business law

thanks for reading!

2009-03-30T22:20:00.015-04:00

hey ladies <3
Happy Monday(?) ...
It's always hard to be motivated on mondays..
I pretty much slept through my morning classes and now, i'm trying to figure out what the homework was.. LOL.

Like I've mentioned on my previous post, I went shopping with DSK, Stephanie.

We went to the mall so late that we only had about 45mins to shop (sorry Steph!)
But as soon as we got our eyebrows threaded, we went straight to the MAC store and did some damage. LOL.
Good thing I controlled myself because I'm saving for the trip to Chicago SOON!!

YUP,
Steph, me and our other bestie are going to spend a night in Chicago this weekend to celebrate DSK's 22nd birthday !!

ok ok. Im going to stop typing and show pictures!

What's in this Macy bags?

MAC & Clarins

OoOoo look at those lovely MAC & Clarins goodies!! MAC Mineralize Blush (Gentle) MAC E/S (Aquavert) MAC E/S (Corduroy) MAC Liquidlast Liner (Inkspill) MAC Sugarsweet collection Shadestick: (Penny) (Red Velvet)

2nd shot
(FYI, I bought Corduroy E/S for my eyebrows)

Beauty Sticks! LOL

Look how beautiful those shadestick are!
I didn't get to try the Clarins Double Fix' Mascara yet.

Speaking of mascara, I am thinking about showing all the mascaras that I have right now and talk about which ones I like and don't like.
I have wayy too many and majority of it, I used it once or twice..
ugh..

I said that I was going to show HK Bows that I ordered from Ms.Tia :

[Review: THEFACESHOP Hydrating Milk Pack]

2009-03-27T22:50:00.008-04:00

hi ladies <3

Happy Friday! (well..almost saturday)

Tonight, I decided to end my night with my favorite "Hydrating Milk Pack" from THEFACESHOP.

I have to say, I absolutely love their products. Their stuff smells good and it does seem to work well on my skin. I use a lot of their Massage packs & masks. I also love their BB cream!!! If you don't know much about their products, you definitely should check it out.

So what does this milk pack do exactly?
"This wash-off milk pack provides the concentrated care of a salon facial from the comforts of home to hydrate and soften dry, rough skin."
The benefits of milk: "A natural nutritional food containing various proteins, minerals and vitamins that help improve skin elasticity and brighten lackluster skin."

This really does smell like milk and it's not sticky at all, which I love <3>

Directions: After washing and applying toner, spread evenly over face avoiding eye areas. Leave on for 10~15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

* "waiting for 15mins" pictures *
(BE AWARE FOR MY BARE FACE)

" Is it time yet ? "

* I apologize for this f*(*(@&#*@ face *

So 15 minutes later..
I washed my face with warm water..
then,
I put on my night skincare products I use..

And the result ?

Now, I've been EXTREMELY ILL for about a week.
You may not think that my face has gotten whiter..
But, when I'm on my normal condition,
It's A LOT whiter and smoother !!!

But I do want to tell you all,
When I first used this product, I didn't notice the difference at first.
But I definitely noticed it next morning.

I really recommend you beautiful ladies to try their products!
It's amazing and does work !

I'll be doing another review on SEAWEED PACK in couple of days!

Stay tuned!

[Sickness]

2009-03-22T22:16:00.002-04:00

hello ladies..
I cannot believe my precious weekend has gone and school starts again!!
gaaaahhh.............

I've beeen super sick and been to the hospital 4times this week..

I'm probably the stupidest girl EVER.

Guess what I did?

well..when I went to the hospital, my doctor have told me that I had MONONUCLEOSIS, also known as "kissing disease" (not that it has anything to do with me...lol).
So she gave me this medication to take for a week..
The medication was to heal my swollen throat and make you sleep well at the same time..
I came home for the weekend and was looking forward to get enough sleep on my comfy bed..

On Friday night, I took 2 pills of my medication because I wanted to sleep WELL and my throat was getting worse. I thought my doctor told me that it was ok for me to take 2pills at once.

What happened to me on saturday ?

I was EXTREMELY drowsy and slept 19hrs straight...
My mom tried to wake me up but I couldn't keep myself awake..
Later that day, I kept throwing up NOTHING but water..(gross i know)
I knew I wanted to eat something but couldn't eat anything solid...
So guess what I had? Of course, BABY FOOD =)
But yea..that didn't go so well either...sigh*
I knew something was wrong ..so my mom took me to the ER that night..

What was wrong with me?

I OVERDOSED on my medication..
*SIGH* *SUPER SIGH*
I can't believe myself..
What was I thinking ?
Even on my prescription bottle says "DO NOT TAKE 2 at once"...

..so yea,
that was my weekend..
I feeling a lot better today...
I lost 3lbs in 2days..lol..
but my face look gross rite now..

tonight, i think im going to do some Seaweed face pack..

hope you ladies had an wonderful weekend.

Hello ladies!

I was sooo happy with the weather today!
79 !! woohoo!!
I just hope that it only gets warmer from now. =)

good news!
I finalllly got my MAC package!!
Free shipping and it only took 4days to get here.

What did I get?
Hello Kitty Kouture Collection

Sheer Mystery Powder (Medium Plus)
Dazzleglass (Kitty Kouture)

Sadly, Dazzlepuss was all sold out.

Does anyone have Dazzlepuss?
If you do, let me know if you like the color

I didn't get to try the powder yet but I actually like the Dazzleglass..
I'm not a big fan of lipgloss because it seems tooo sticky for my lips.
but it wasn't too sticky as I expected.

Sorry..
I couldn't take a better picture of the color..
But it's a sheer light pink with light glitters..
It will definitely go well with my usual natural look
=)

So that's it for my MAC haul.

Oh.
Guess what I bought over the weekend at Sam's Club?
BABY FOOD!!

As soon as I saw it, I thought of Ms.Pink!
I know how much she loves her BANANA baby food!

Oh my gosh..
I love baby food.
It is absolutely delicious!!

You ladies should definitely try it
=)

alrighty ladies,

I am logging off for the night.
Have a good night ladies!

hello ladies =)
I hope you ladies had a wonderful weekend!

Sadly, my spring break has ended and I am back at school..
Of course, I am not motivated to study at the moment..but I'll get there sometime..lol

I was being extremely lazy and I ended up looking at my old pictures..

*memories*

Even tough I'm 22, I miss being young..
I wish I can go back to that time being goofy and not have to be responsible for anything..

Now,
I have so many things that I need to be responsible for..
It can be overwhelming but that's life right?
I enjoy everything that I do right now..
I guess blogging does make me feel better and release my stress
=)

ahhhhhh

Why am I so emotional right now?
I'm not sure. But I think I'll stop being random ..lol

sorry if this was tooo random to even read.
I probably wasted your time..lol

Tomorrow, I should be getting my MAC HK package!!!
WOOHOO!!

Hope you ladies have a good night

[ Chicago Haul pt.2 ]

2009-03-13T22:46:00.005-04:00

Hey lovely ladies =)

I said that I was going to finish talking about my chicago haul today so here I am!

While I was in Chicago, I was SUPER SUPER excited going to Mitsuwa market to buy many many Japanese cosmetics. Mistsuwa had absolutely nothing but their shampoo and hair wax... barely makeup stuff..

sigh*

But then..I was already there and I thought I should buy at least 1 thing. lol..
yea..when i go to any type of store, I HAVE to buy at least 1 thing. hehe

Here's what I got :
Shiseido "Water in Lip" chapstick
CoenRich Q10 White Deep Moisture Hand&Finger cream by Kose
Unicharm cotton pads (2packs for $6 including tax!!!!)

I've tried the hand cream and the chapstick. I ALWAYS love Shiseido chapsticks. If Mitsuwa market is close to where you are? you should definitely get it. =)

and OoOoOo the handcream!!! I loveeeeeeee the feel of it. It doesn't smell like anything almost but my hands are extremely soft after I put them on.
special thanks to Fuzkittie for telling all the blogger ladies about it!
I can't wait to get more when I visit chicago again!

I am going to use my new cotton pads tonight when I remove my makeup!
I will definitely let you guys know if I like it or not. =)

AND LASTLY,

I went to korean market for some grocery shopping and thought that I should visit THEFACESHOP since it was in the same building (good excuse right? =p )
They didn't have any new stuff but I picked out SOME stuff.. lol..

Remember, I'm always insterested in trying new skincare stuff =)

So here's what I got :
Face Masks
Seaweed Pack
Egg White Pack
"Beautiful Jeong Yeon" (Oriental Herb Cleansing Oil Gel)
Samples

I pretty much tried all different kinds of face masks that THEFACESHOP have. So far? I love all of them especially the rice kind. I use this once a week. It really does make my face moisturized and smooth !!

Oh, and the Cleansing Oil Gel ?
It seemed a bit weird to me using this at first.. but my makeup does come off really well ! It smells nice too !!
I will try to take a picture of me using it...lol.

That is it for my haul !!
LOL
I hope you guys liked it.

For next couple days, I will be trying those Seaweed&Egg White packs and see how much I like them.

OH,
Blogger ladies that asked for a sample of "Angels on Bare Skin",
xoannie & Janelle
Send me your name&address on my e-mail (you can find my e-mail add on my profile)
I will be glad to send you ladies a sample of it. But don't expect a big package from me !! there will be a little surprise with it but don't know what they will be yet. lol.

Also,

Katrina & Askmewhats
It seems that you ladies might be insterested in trying them as well !
If you could let me know your address, I will be glad to send you ladies a sample as well !! =)

alright ladies,
I am logging out for the night !
Good night ladies

[Chicago Haul pt.1]

2009-03-12T14:22:00.008-04:00

Hi Ladies =)

It's spring break time for me here in Michigan.
I finally get my time to relax and forget about school for a week.

My brother came home from school and our family just had to be out of here for a short break. So we decided to go to chicago for 2 nights.
It was short but it was definitely worth it. I didn't get to shop so much because weather wasn't all that good.

I love Chicago. But I hate their tax !!!!!

I spent a lot of money again while I was in Chicago..
How much did I spent?
Well..This might explain it..
Armani Exchange
THEFACESHOP
Salvatore Ferragamo
Tiffany & Co.
Sephora
LUSH
Mitsuwa Market (not shown on the picture)

Anyways,

Chicago=Sephora. LOL ~
I can't forget going to Sephora while i'm there. I was a bit disappointed with my visit to Sephora. It didn't excite me this time lol...But I picked out a few things just to make myself feel better..lol

MUFE Eyeliner 0L
MUFE Lash Fibers
Diorshow Blackout Waterproof Mascara
Bliss ingrown hair eliminating peeling pads
Sample of Benegiy dr.feelgood

I didn't get to try any of them yet but i'm excited to try the base mascara and Diorshow.

Has anyone tried the Bliss peeling pads that I got ?
I hate my nasty bumps on my legs and one of the guy at Sephora recommended me this. If there's anything that you are using to reduce those bumps on my legs, please let me know !! I want to get rid of these bumps before summer !!

FINALLY, I was able to get a few of lush products. I didn't even know Chicago had it until my mom mentioned it to me.

Angels on bare skin
Ocean Salt
Yellow Bags= forgot the name of it..

Last night, I tried the angels on bare skin. Result ? This is probably one of my favorite exfoliating product !! I didn't think I need to put on any moisturizer. My face feel soo nice !!!

If anyone would like a sample? let me know.
I might be able to send you some of mine =)

Since I don't have enough time,
I will write about the goodies I got at THEFACESHOP & Mitsuwa tomorrow

xoxo !

[THE GOODIES]

2009-02-23T23:29:00.014-05:00

Hello ladies!

I am glad to be back and happy that I am finally getting myself together to start blogging again! Thanks again for the lovely messages.. It really means a lot to me. =)

So these past 2weeks, I've been extremely busy with school but at the same time, I always made time to buy my goodies =)

I had to fly over to PA 2 weeks ago for a family emergency. Don't worry, everything's better. So while I was in PA, I was able to go to the Korean makeup store and of course, SEPHORA in King of Prussia mall. It was probably the biggest mall that i've ever been to. I was sad that I didn't have enough time to go shopping at Saks!

Ok, Ready for my big haul ?

I bought 4 BB creams. So far? My favorite is the Super +BB Triple Function (Pink Box) I will definitely do a review on them next time.

SEPHORA HAUL
Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover
Anastasia Brow Pen (Universal Shade)
dr. brandt v-zone neck cream
NARS Duo Eyeshadow HULA HULA (Spring Collection)

Guerlain KissKiss Liplift Smoothing Lipstick Primer
Sephora Round Powder Brush 41
Dolce & Gabbana L'eau the one
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Potion Prime (SIN)
Makeup Forever Professional Aqua Eyes Eye liner (Brown 1L?)

Total Price ?
sigh*.. I did it again. I should never let myself in that store by myself. lol

This past Friday, I went on a date with DSK, Stephanie to get our makeup done at the MAC store and get our HelloKitty Collection..
Makeover result ?.... ....yea. It didn't go so well. But I kind of liked how my eye makeup turned out.

My dad didn't recognize first. So yea, it was too much makeup for me. But at the same, my MA was really nice and taught me her makeup skills.
Overall, It was good seeing Stephanie !
We always have fun when we hang out. I can't wait to see you again hun!

MAC HAUL
Hello Kitty Collection
Beauty Powder (Tahitian Sand & Pretty Baby)
Lipgloss (Mimmy)
Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 (Pink Fish)

Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (Medium Plus)
Eye Response Eye Cream
Powder Blsuh (Style)
Eye Shadow ( Mulch & Brun )
Lustre Lipstick (High Tea)
Cremestick Pearl Liner (Honey B.)

Close Up
I love everything that I got at MAC.
For the first time, I don't regret ANYTHING I bought at MAC. I am super proud.
I will review them on my next blog.

Lastly,
I ordered the NYX Concealer in a Jar
Concealers in Yellow, Green, Levender & Fair ($5 each)

The containers were a lot smaller than I expected.
I didn't really like it in the beginning but I absolutely love it !
Oh, excuse the background of my concealer picture lol.

Guess what the hello kitty background is ?
It's my new mousepad ! lol..

ANYWAYS,

I hope you guys liked my haul.
I will probably do a review that I got at Sephora tomorrow.

thanks for stoppin by !

[Quick Update]

2009-01-04T21:57:00.002-05:00

Quick Update on my life :

1.) I'm single. These days have been extremely tough. That's the only reason why I haven't been on to blog. I'm sorry ladies for slacking off but I guess I need my time to find myself again. I need to be ok and want to be ok first. 2009 is here and I didn't want to start with all this... It's too much for me to handle all this by myself.. Please pray for me..

2.) Thank you for the help ladies. I finally bought my Louis Vuitton wallet. It was around $710 with tax included. I think it was worth it overall. I just need to make sure that I don't lose it anymore.

3.) I ONCE AGAIN lost a few things. My NEW Sony camera and my Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses. It is nowhere to be found. I can understand why I keep losing things... *sigh*

4.) I bought 2 more of La Mer stuff. I wish La Mer was a bit cheaper ..hehe.

I hope all the ladies had a good new year's day with your friends & family.

Hey ladies !

I hope everyone had a wonderful & safe Christmas with your loved ones.

I can't believe that I left my camera USB cable back at school and I'm not able to upload any of the pictures that I've taken so far !

Is there any way that I can upload my pictures without the USB cable ? lol... If you know, PLEASE let me know.

Anyhow!

I need your help / opinion.

Since I've lost my wallet few weeks ago, I am looking for a NEW one to buy. Right now, I am debating on :

Louis Vuitton 's "International Wallet" ($660)

OR

Gucci ($450)

I'm feeling more towards LV but I tend to chance my mind a lot when it comes to buying a new purse/wallet =)

So help me decide which one I should get !!

2008-12-18T22:21:00.006-05:00

I probably just wrote the longest and boring entry and JUST decided that I should delete what I wrote and make it A LOT shorter.

* SIGH *

I think I had the worst day EVER.

Let me outline what happened today:

* I forgot to take my scantron sheet for my last final exam
* I took a pen to take my exam instead of a pencil (AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!)
* My friend lost my student id for about 1hr
* I lost my WALLET a.k.a MY EVERYTHING (credit cards, driver's license, SEPHORA CARD)
* My phone got suspended for not paying my bill (totally forgot)
* I cancelled all my credit cards and ordered a new ones
* I went to the secretary of states WITHOUT any CASH to get a new license (drove back to go get it and waited in line for about 2 hours)
* My Japanese friend, Saya (also an International student) flight got cancelled today
* Went to the mall and didn't buy ANY MAKEUP *double SIGH*

.....yeah.

what a day....right?
At least my boyfriend treated me with a nice japanese meal and went to the mall together and went to Starbucks & had a long/nice conversation..Tomorrow, I have to take Saya to the airport and HOPE that the weather wont be too bad....... *SIGH* Anyways, I thought I'd share with you ladies how my first day of break went. I hope you ladies are having a better night than me =) Now that I'm done, I have more time to BLOG ! =) Can't wait for my next blog ! Stay tuned ladies xoxo

[ Big Hauls ]

2008-12-07T20:43:00.036-05:00

HAUL TIME !!

I was able to get my new Sony Cyvershot DSC-T700 digital camera! It was $379 for the camera and got a 2 year warranty AND the camera case. So toatal of around $430. Yikes! But it's all worth it because I get to update more and have an actual pictures from now on. Thank you for being patient with me. I think my blog entries bored some of the ladies out there since I had no interesting pictures. But hopefully not anymore! =)

[My Goodies]

This entry is based on my recent products that I've purchased (probably from thanksgiving break).

So I wrote on my previous post that I went to Chicago during my thanksgiving break and BARELY made it to Sephora before they closed. And on my last day in Chicago, I went to the Japanese Market, Mitsuwa to pick out a few things.

Let me tell you, I ABSOLUTELY regret that I didn't my the purchase from PINK because she sells her *drugs* so cheap !! So if anyone is interested in buying japanese hair/skin products for a cheaper price, please check out her *drug* site. (You can request her for a specific products)

Let me start with a hair products:

Tsubaki Shampoo & Conditioner from Shiseido( $19 per bottle plus tax ) is absolutely amazing. I can definitely feel THE DIFFERENCE when I have them on my hair and massaging it. It smells soo good and feeels soo silky even before I rinse my hair. And of course, after I rinse it, my hair is sooo silky and smooooth. I've been using this shampoo and conditioner for years now and I can't find anything better than this! So if any of you ladies have problem with getting their hair silky and healthy, you know what to get it now ! =)

Lucido-L Styling Glamorous Hair Wax ( pink tube $16 ) is probably for someone who doesn't really know how to style their hair and doesn't like their hair to be all sticky and chunky. WELL, that's ME. lol. I personally don't like to style my hair because i dont' know how and I like my hair to be simple. I also don't like hair spray, gel, mousse and wax because I dont' like the stickness of my hair. But this product doesn't do any of that! You ONLY need a dime size of this to style your hair. This stuff is NOT sticky at all and with a little amount of wax, it literally does your hair fabulous. This wax doesnt even feel like a wax but it feels like a moisturizer. YEA, its that liquidy for a wax. The only thing that I don't like about it is that It doesn't have a good smell to it (or doesnt smell like anything). To me, it smells like a mascara if that even describes the smell lol. But seriously, try this

Finally, to the makeup products! (this part will be extremely long):

Naris egg shell facial peeling pack ($16 white tube shown on the first two picture above) helps remove blackheads AND makes the skin smoother and of course healthier! I've only tried this once and I loved it. I usually use this for my nose area since I have a major issue with my blackheads. It really does make a difference. The only thing that I dont like about this is that it's wayyyyy too sticky that you really need to be careful when you do your whole face especially don't put it over your hair cause it will ripppppppp your hair off lol.

Clinique exfoliating scrub ($17.50) is probably something that I won't purchase again. It didn't really "exfoliate" enough for my skin. Plus I feel that it's too thick and hard on my skin that I wouldn't want to do it more than once a week. The only thing that I like about this is that when I put it on my face it gives me that cool feeling. Again, I'm only writing about how it went with my skin. But who knows, this might work better on you.

Mandom makeup remover ($14) removes your makeup literally in 1 minute although I don't wear a lot of makeups. You really don't have to rub it real hard to remove your makeup and that's what I like about it. ALSO, it's not oily! It feels just like a skin toner! =) Before, after I remove my eye makeups, it hurts my eye area because I HAVE to rub it hard to remove it and because of that my eyes would've had wrinkles very fast. I recommend this too all the ladies that loves makeup and also LOVEEE their skin =)

(that's how much it came off after a wipe)

Sheseido "Water In Lip" chapstick in Mint ($12) is THE MIRACLE! YOU ALL SHOULD GET THIS!! Especially during this cold season, you know your lips need to be moisturized 24/7. This stuff is amazing and you will not regret buying this. It moisturizes your lip right when you put it on. And it gives you that cool feeling with it. RECOMMEND IT!!
NARS Pressed Powder in Mountain($29) for a "deep yellow undertones for a medium to deep skin tones" I really needed a new powder to use after I use my foundation. I really like this powder because it feel very light when I put it on and I think it's the best color that matches with my skin tone. So if you're someone that doesn't wear too much makeup but need a little coverage? this might do you good. But, I might want to try something better next time I purchase my powder because I really want a PERFECT powder (whatever that means) lol.

MAC, Bobbi Brown and NARS blush (left to right $29, $40, $25) is my 3 top favorite blushes now! I love all of their stuff. MAC MSF(mineralized skin finish) in Petticoat has a pink-ish light brown-ish shimmery color and i think it's absolutely beautiful. Bobbie Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Bronze is my favorite bronzer out of all my bronzers that I have. It has the light-ish gold shimmery color and it goes well on any season ! I've been wearing this almost everyday. Lastly, NARS "highlighter" in Nico has a vanilla(?) beige shimmery color and its perfect for contouring your face!

MAC paint pots and NARS Luminizer (left to right $16.50, $37) has all the great colors. I got MAC paint pots in Bare Study and Painterly. I wear them most of the time and I love it and I want to buy more paint pots. I got NARS luminizer in St.barts (thanks pink!) for contouring my face.

Dior Concealer Palette ($39 only at Sephora Website) is probbaly the best concealer I've ever had. It's because there are 4 colors that I can mix it to get the right color for my skin tone. It's a bit dry for my skin but I use it with the NYX "As if" concealer stick which is moisturized so it balances out. If you have hard time finding a right color for a concealer, this is the one for you.
Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil($16) is so easy to use. You don't have to press hard to line your eyes. It's not that dry as the other eye liner and it doesnt smudge so easily. But next time I buy a eye liner, I think I will try the Make Up For Ever eye liner.

Ok, I pretty much spent about 3 hours to write and take pictures (Im STILL not used to this blog). So, the stuff I bought today will be my next post.

Until then, enjoy and I hope this was helpful and fun!

Stay beautiful ladies =)

[ Skin Care Part 2 ]

2008-12-06T00:10:00.014-05:00

First,
I want to thank all the ladies for the love messages and suppor that you guys have been given me. It's a little bit odd for ME to talk about all this because I don't know much about it. But when I do learn and experience things, I like to share with you all =) THANK YOU !

Oh,
I have a good news!!
I am going to best buy tomorrow and going to get a new digital camera. Which means, MUCHO pictures coming for you ladies. so be ready for me =)

Anyways,
I am a big fan of makeups and always willing to try new things. BUT I think i'm more interested in skin care stuff. So I thought I should share more of skin care tips.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Snow fight, hot chocolate, warm blankets, presents, be with your loved ones and of course FOOOOD =)
But when it comes to my skin, I absolutely hate it. I have been doing a lot of things to my face to keep it moisturized and healthy. But it's hard when the weathers not cooperating with me =(

Every winter, my skin is usually dry. So, to reduce the dryness of my skin I've been trying this and that. Here's where I've been concentrating and what I've been doing:

1.) Do you take care of your elbow and ankle area? Most of the time, we dont seem to take care of those parts because we don't usually look at it. But when you wear a short sleeves or a dress, you want to look beautiful but also healthy in every way possible. So, what do I use? SALT
I use the regular salt that we use to cook :

- mix 1 teaspoon of salt with a few drops of moisturizing lotion (I use the Dior Soothing toner)
- Make sure that you it's not too liquidy
- Rub it all around your elbow and ankle area
- It will exfoliate those parts and reduce the "dry looking" elbow and ankle
- Wipe off with a steamed towel ( I recommend to use steamed towel but if you cant have it at the moment, use whatver works for you)
- Put enough body cream to keep it moisturized

2.) Blackheads/Pores : I use plain brown sugar to help reduce my blackheads/pores. But if brown sugar is too hard on your skin, you can mix it with foam cleanser.

- take a dime size of brown sugar and rub it around your nose
- Gently rub it for about a minute
- Wash with cold water
- Moisturize

3.) There are days when your makeup just doesnt seem to work well because of your dry skin due to the weather/condition. So, to help my makeup go on more smooth, I use my favorite STEAMED TOWEL ( Can't you tell I loveee using the steamed towel? )

- Make yourself a steamed towel ( boil a small towel with water )
- Before you do anything, make sure that your towel is not too hot to put on your face
- When it's ready, put the towel over your face for about 10minutes
- If needed, put on moisturizer
- Makeup time !

4.) Another tips for lips: did you know that you can use eye cream to reduce the dryness of your lips?

- Mix eye cream with the moisturizer (or Essense)
- Put over your lips
- Cover a saran wrap over your lips
- Wait about 10 minutes
- Wipe off with warm towel
- Put on chapstick/lip balm

5.) Pimples: We know how much we hate our pimples ESP. when you have to look good the next day. What I do is I use my makeup removal pads and put a few drops of my toner(I use my FACESHOP toner). Put the pad over the pimple for a night (I usually tape it so that it won't fall down when I sleep lol) Here's the thing. I dont just use my toner. I use it COLD. Which means, I keep my toner in the fridge at all times.

I hope this helps =)
I can't wait to update next time with REAL pictures =)

Stay fabulous ladies !

Haircare

1.) Oily Hair :

- Shampoo like how you normally do

- Use conditioner

- After using the conditioner, put a drops of fresh lemon juice all over your hair

OR

- Shampoo & Conditioner

- Mix Green Tea Powder with Egg whites (1:1)

- Put it all over your roots

- Leave it for 5minutes

- Rinse it with warm water

2.) Dandruff Issue :

- Of course, use any kind of shampoo that is for dandruff

- Instead of using the regular conditioner, use milk

- Use about 2 ~3 tablespoons of milk and put it all over the roots

- Rinse with warm water

3.) Damaged Hair (From perm or hair color) :

- Shampoo & Treatment like how you normally do. And rinse it.

- Mix egg yolk and milk (1:1)

- Put it all over your hair

- Wait about 10 minutes

- Rinse

* If you're planning on getting your hair permed or dyed sometime soon, you should try this everyday for about 10days before you get your hair done. It will definitely help your hair.

Ladies, hair is very important just as your skin ! It's important that we take a good care of our hair during this cold season!

Another important thing that we all need to take care of right now is our CHAPPED LIPS. Don't you hate it when our lips are extremely dry and get cuts ? well, I am definitely experiencing that right now.

*Tips for your lips*

- Before you sleep, make yourself a steamed towel to put it on your lips (about 5 ~ 10mins)

- Using a Q-tips, rub it all around your lips. It will exfoliate your lips

- Put your chapstick or lip moisturizer (I use the FACE repair balm from Sephora. RECOMMEND IT)

- Put a saran wrap on ur lips (MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO BREATHE..LOL)

- Wait about 5 ~ 10minutes

- Wipe off your lips with a cotton or whatever is convenient for you

* When your lips are EXTREMELY dry to the point when your lips are bleeding, try using Vaseline and honey. ITS THE BEST COMBINATION!

(RECOMMEND TO DO THIS BEFORE YOU SLEEP)

- Warm up a little bit of honey

- Put it all over your lips (it might stink if you have cuts on your lips)

- Use saran wrap to cover your lips

- Leave it on for about 20 minutes

- Wipe it off with a steamed towel

- Put ENOUGH Vaseline on your lips

Until next time, take care ladies !

First, I'd like to thank all the beautiful ladies for the lovely messages and helping me to learn this whole blogging thing!
Seeing all the interesting and helpful blogs, it makes me wanna update and share my stuff with you all. Even though I'm not a professional make-up artist or knows enough about make-up, I believe that everyone finds a new, interesting and helpful tips from each other. Yea? =)

Anyways, So I have been wanting to update for the longest time. HOWEVER, I totally forgot that my digital camera is broken and I am looking for a new one! So Pleaseeee, if there's a digital camera that you have or you would like to recommend me, let me know =)

OH, So i was supposed to talk about my Sephora packages that I got about 2weeks ago. The package itself was very disappointing to me. I didnt get my 6 free samples that I've asked. Instead, I got a lot of colognes. WTF rite? I'm a girl and I was expecting a girl product AT LEAST but they're sending me a guy stuff? How aweful is that. *RAWR*

Anyways,
So in my package, I got my Guerlain Parure Aqua Radient Feel-Good Liquid Foundation & DIOR Concealer Palette (Thanks to xppinkx)

For my foundations/powders, it's always hard for me to find a right color if i order it online. and of course, I got the WRONG COLOR. ugh... I opened it and tried a little bit on my hand and it was literally like a chocolate color on my skin. LOL...I guess I DO suck at picking out colors BIG TIME. But I've learned my lesson (sort of..heheheheeh). But except the color, I do like the feel of it. It's very hydrating and goes on very smoothly. It's a bit pricey but to me, price shouldn't matter SO MUCH for all of my make-up and ESP. Skin Care products.

I went back to Sephora to return my foundation and got my money back. I was lazy to go back online and order and wait another week to get it. So instead, I'm using my Givenchy Fluid Foundation with SPF 20. But I'll write about that next time.

My other and last product that came with the foundation, Dior Concealer Palette was worth it. Since it's always been hard to find the right color for my skin, using the Dior concealer palette, i can mix the colors to find the perfect color. I do have to say that it's a bit dry for my skin but I only use it on my blemishes right after I apply my foundation (when your skin is moisturized).

So overall, my sephora package was OK because of my samples, came REALLLLLY late (it should've taken about 2~3 days) and because i picked the wrong color which was my fault. hehe..

SO Ladies! when you order a foundation/powder, please be careful and spend enough time to choose the right color for you ! =)

OH, I went to chicago for a night right before thanksgiving day. I got to chicago extremely late and didn't have time to shop because everywhere was closing BUT SEPHORA (it's meant to be hehehehe). So I ran into buy my goodies and I picked out 4 things within 5minutes ($151). *sigh*

But it was something that I've been wanting to buy even though I should've thought more before I bought them. I will WRITE with MORE DETAILS about them next time.

I'm hoping to buy camera as soon as I figure out which one to buy. When I get it, I'll update update and UPDATE =)

Thanks for stoppin by <3>
