2012-05-08T09:07:00.000-07:00

http://www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=258743 Hi Guys remember I said that I'll be back!? Im back. Im here to talk about how Im part of the Sigma Affiliate program. Im so lucky that they have chosen me to be a part of this program because I've always wanted to try Sigma Brushes. It's very high quality and Im super keen on trying the flattop kabuki they have sent me as a gift! I wish I had some photos to show you but I made a big dent in my wallet yesterday at Sephora. I bought a few things from Stila, a few things from Philosophy and very excited about the Rachel K CC cream that I got! I am also loving Organix conditioners and shampoos they smell so nice! Anyhoo it's bedtime....I will post photos soon! xoxo C

Hi Guys....I know I know it's almost been a year since I last posted but what a year. I left 2am dessert bar half a year ago and now am at Bistro Soori heading up the pastry side. It's still very rustic now but hopefully it will get better with time. I am as usual very tired!. Good news is I am part of the Sigma program... I am in love with their brushes! I will post some new things up as I have bought a lot of new things lately and would love to share with all of you! Sorry for being MIA for the past year! xoxoo Cathy

We went to Marina Bay Sands, and it was a lot of fun, we went shopping then we went to New Asia (bar) in Swisshotel. Next week im going back to Taipei for a 2 week much needed vacation. What am I gonna do there? go shopping and eating of course.

Mainly i need to stock up on masks and cosmetics and food because it's uber expensive here in Singapore.

Oh...I'm lovin nailpolish right now!

2010-03-21T19:55:00.001-07:00

before I was a boring nail person. I would use pinky nudes like Essie's ballerina, or OPI's Coney Island Cotton Candy. I rediscovered my love of colour and here is my new love. Sephora by OPI's IM Beauty. It's a buttery pale yellow colour and it's shocking enuff yet colourful enuff to complement my usual blah outfit. In the future I'll be sharing with you some of my fav. colours. Im also loving some new polishes I bought lately. If you haven't checked it out! I updated my yt channel with my latest haul!

love you all!

BISOUS

;-P

So...another haul.....

2010-03-15T18:28:00.000-07:00

Wow...I amazed myself today, as I didn't go crazy at the drugstore or at Sephora. At London Drugs, I picked up Revlon's photoready foundation in Vanilla, Revlon tinted brow wax, and Garnier fructis detangling spray. I mainly got the revlon foundation because of the massive raves about it, and I got the colour slightly darker to give me some "warmth" I have to say nothing compares to my beloved Giorgio Armani foundation. At Sephora I REALLY wanted to go crazy. I wanted the Smashbox kit

and the Benefit Legally Bronze

BUT!!!!! it's like 40% more expensive here in Canada, plus the damn tax we pay I had to put it down. Although I can get these back in Taiwan, sephora always excites me and I just want to get everything in the store. Instead, I left the store with some tweezerman pink tweezers, 2 sephora eye brushes and Urban Decay Stardust shadow in Diamond Dog. I've been lemming it for so long so I broke down and finally bought it.

Sorry for the stock photos!! but I think Sephora does a better job! Well I'm 'happy' with my purchases BUT not happy as why it's so much more expensive in Canada to buy the same cosmetics. If it was reasonable i would have left the store with more, exciting things. Who knows..I will probably lemm for it and get it next time I'm there. (I live upstairs from the mall) so there is a big possibility!!!

until next time BISOUS

40 question tag!

2010-03-12T22:01:00.000-08:00

HI ladies and gents! I was tagged a few weeks ago by my wonderful Malaysian friend SueLynn and I've been busy (my usual excuse) but decided to calm down with YT videos so decided to post it instead. (Major run on sentence huh?)

Anyways! here goes!

TAG - 40 Beauty Questions

SKINCARE

-How many times do you wash your face daily?
Twice - Once in the morning and once in the evening. The morning I just use my etude house acne cleanser ( I love this stuff! makes me NOT break out) and at night I use oil cleanser first to remove the makeup and the same Etude House acne cleanser.

-What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
I have combination sensitive skin.

-What is your current facial wash?
It's ETUDE HOUSE AC CLINIC acne foam cleanser. If you guys can get this please do this is the only thing I use that keeps my blemishes away. I use oil cleanser at night either by DOVE, FASIO, or TISS

-Do you exfoliate?
NO..I use fruit acids tho in my toner. If I exfoliate I use Bliss exfoiliant which lasts a lifetime.
-What brand do you use?
I just answered that!

-What moisturizer do you use?
At the moment,I'm trying to use up my endless stock of moisterizers. I'm using RMK serum, Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv ultimate lifting cream( wow that sounds good huh?)and the old faithful EMBRYOLISSE.

-Do you have freckles?
Yes - I've had numerous IPL treatments and V-beam treatments it just comes back so I have come to terms with them. *sigh*

-Do you use eye cream?
Yes, like my moisterizers I'm trying to finish the stock of eyecreams I have. Currently using Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv eye cream, Good Skin Labs Eyeliplex-2. BUT!!! I have to tell you the best eye cream I've ever used was by Sisley, either that or La Prairie. I guess sometimes price does make a difference. La Mer is awesome too but I rather not sell my liver to fund my eye cream addiction.

-Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
I never had a major acne problem, what I have is a major freckle problem. I get the occasional breakout from either too much binge drinking and not sleeping, or hormonal.

-Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
Yes, I tried my old roomate's once and it was horrendous. It was majorly strong. Stop believing in junk and save the money and see a DERMATOLOGIST, half the$ and more effective. IF you guys live in Van. the best derm is Dr. Phoebus Wong he cured my skin woes!

MAKE-UP
-What foundation do you use?
haha..I rarely use foundation now, since I use masks almost daily now ( wow the luxuries my skin is going through this whole unemployment phase) but if I do I love Giorgio Armani and Nars. I really want to try the Revlon Photoready but the lightest colour is a bit dark? ( if that's possible)

-How about concealer?
I use Skinfood's salmon concealer...it's the same as Bobbi Brown's but 1/2 the price and 3 times the amount.

-Do you know your undertone color?
If it's possible I would consider myself a neutral(pink) undertone. In my early twenties I was golden but somehow I turned into casper.?

-What do you think of fake eyelashes?
The reason for living.

-Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes, thank you very much. I wonder whomever made this tag ever thought they used a slight condescending tone!!! hehehe

-What brand of mascara do you use?
I like Maybelline, MJ,DEJAVU, I never use high end mascara.... because I use fake lashes almost on a daily basis.

-Sephora or MAC?
Sephora. Even thou I'm Canadian...I feel loyal to Sephora! I've been going to Sephora for over ten years and I always get that excitement when I walk in. Plus I get better deals at Sephora, and I like I can spend all day in there whereas at Mac I end up getting snotty service from an overtattoed wannabe goth punk.

-Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No. Will never get one either, since when am I skilled enuff to be a PRO at anything! ha!

-What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Err? what makeup tools? I use brushes, and eyelash curlers.

-Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Yes and No, most times I just use my Shu Uemura cream shadow in P Brown because I find other primers are too "heavy'

-For the face?
Yes, for UV reasons. I'm finishing up my Lavshuca makeup base UV.

-What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
DIOR- BEIGE MASSAI it's avail. at Sephora. (holy it's not NARS!)

-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
I use gel most of the time. ETUDE HOUSE CODE B is the way to go!

-How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Never, how fun is that ?poking your eye?

-What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I hate pigments....but!! there are some I love because the colour payoff is just amazing. Most of them are by MAC like antiqued Gold reflects or my personal fav. Crystallized Purple.

-Do you use mineral makeup?
I used to use bare minerals in fair like 6 or 7 years ago..but I found it quite heavy and cumbersome to use. I like that word. cumbersome. did I even spell it right?

-What is your favorite lipstick?
Mac Viva Glam II or Nars Belle de Jour.

-How about lipgloss?
GOSH lipjam in 102 the blue one. IM SAD im running out!

-What is your favorite blush to use?
POSIETINT by benefit (shock) Canmake PW20, or Nars DESIRE.

-Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
no. Im internet retarded like that.

-Do you like drugstore makeup?
I love it, esp Asian drugstore makeup, I find it sometimes far superior. PLUS NYX...who doesn't love NYX?

-Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
When I lived in the US, but whenever I went (Woodbury commons all my NY'ers u know WUTS UP!!!!!) the CCO there was massive ghetto.

-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Yes I did before by Shiseido like 10 years ago, but I didn't think it helped me much except for the facial massage technique.

-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
Yes...esp if I'm in a rush, but I'm never late because I am skilled in the art of TAXI MAKEUP.

-Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Cakey foundation. I know a lot of girls are getting wrinkly and want to cover more skin up,but seriously... take care of your skin! I see some of my high school classmates...and they look like they are 35 y/o.! You live with your face for the rest of your life, so take care of it. Some girls rather spend money on makeup instead of skincare but if you don't have good skin, the makeup won't look good. Sounds logic right?

-Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
I like neutral makeup, as you age and get older, the rainbow clown makeup shouldn't reappear. Unless u are really a clown. Then power to ya!

-Which celebrity always has great make up?
AYUMI HAMASAKI, or MIKA NAKASHIMA... awesome makeup.... plus AYU is like what in her 30's she looks awesome! Maybe I should contact her plastic surgeon? Oh the girls from Girls Generation have good makeup too , and 2NE1.

-If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?
BLUSH.. otherwise I'd look like a sheet of kleenex.

-Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
Yes all the time, and if you haven't noticed in most of my videos. I feel that unless u really need it, then use it. Think about how detrimental makeup is to the skin.... it needs time to breath!.

-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
I look gross, but what can I do? God gave me this face to scare ppl AHHAHA...

-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
Overall I think Nars, obviously for the colour selection. I also have to give shoutouts to RMK the most underrated makeup line ever. Awesome colours, works with everything, amazing pigmentation, and good quality. I also think LUNASOL has good eyeshadows.

-What do you think of Makeup?
A neccessity.

thanks for reading... BISOUS !! xoxox

2009-12-11T06:01:00.000-08:00

isn't it so cute and so dainty? I'm usually not a real jewellry buff but this really caught my eye and it's perfect since i love pastries! I got it at accesorize, and yes it was rather pricey considering it compared to street market stuff, but i just had to get it ! (Along with 2 other pieces) .... anyone want to share any pieces they got that they can't stop wearing???

Away again???

2009-12-11T05:41:00.000-08:00

Sorry again for the lack of posts as I am eternally sick. Good news is I officially signed the papers and I'm free from "R" ;-P no hard feelings and we all remain good friends ;-P The bad thing is... right now I'm on an allergy diet to see what I'm allergic to as for the past week I've had chronic Urticaria (hives). I've had trouble breathing yesterday night and it's gotten really serious. I'm under medication now so things are looking good! A lot of ppl were wondering when I'm going back to Van , and that won't be for a while until my braces come off...which hopefully is boxing day. In the meantime I will go to Japan (Okinawa) maybe for the weekend and to Hong Kong to see friends and family. ! So if any of you guys are in HK Let's go LKF! and party it up!

Makeup updates:
currently Im using all Etude skincare products, esp the moistfull collagen stuff. *LUV*
I am also using La Roche-Posay tinted moisterizer as well....

I will try to do more reviews! be patient with me la!!

The following pics are from Rouge Deluxe sorry my internet is too crappy to upload anything at the moment.

These are the items I got from the holiday MJ collection. Wow MJ is really hit or miss..the model looks so... trashy? for lack of a better word... reminds me of those jack the ripper prostitute in the white chapel area. LOL.. Sorry i haven't been known to be a good "describer"

ANYHOO I got the secret lingerie body cream. It's delicious smells kinda fruity and florally at the same time.It reminds me of "silver dusk" remember that shimmery powder that MAC has? That was my first Mac product ...wonder if they still have it.
Then I got the powder, it's very light and it has a slight shimmer to it. Will look forward in using these for the upcoming holiday season. Why do marketers always think that holiday collections must use shimmer? Hmm..why can't I wear shimmer in the summer? Well that's another post! But only 3 stars for these products as they aren't really something to write home about...

nights babies

Hi from my parents other home..

2009-11-30T05:18:00.001-08:00

this is me in Kaohsiung I am well thanks!!!

Heyz...so I'm gonna be staying at my parents country home here in Taipei (Y.M. mountain) and I'm gonna recouperate for a few days before I plan my trip back to Vancouver. Just wanted to clear up somethings... First and foremost I wanna thank my wonderful friends on YT and bogger and facebook..for all their kind words and encouragements. I am always in debt to my family and friends and without them I dunno how'd I survive. I often don't delve(SP?) (gosh can't spell) ? into my personal life and I decided to finally open up and answer some questions. Now is also a good time to ask me some things that u wanna know about me! So here goes I'm going to answer a few questions I get asked a lot of!

1)What's your food industry background? and how did you get into the CIA?
A: Well from the beginning...I knew food was my passion in life. When I was 4 years old I new there were 2 things I loved the most, making yummy stuff in the kitchen ( my mom bought me baby cooking toys) and my other love which is Michael Jackson. (Notice the present tense as those 2 things are still my loves... RIP MJ!)
So from an early age I was already making stuff in the kitchen, cooking and baking and doin' the thriller at the same time. So I suppose it's an innate love for cooking..and I think if u dream about it and think about it often then that's really your passion in life. Then during high school I took lots of culinary courses at school, then I started to intern at various hotels around my hometown. Then I went to university( UBC rulez) and took human nutrion. That was kinda my mistake, as I wasn't really interested in dietetics and more into making food. So I picked up my feet and headed to Le Cordon Bleu. I took a 2 year culinary course and graduated. But something was still unfulfilled at the moment, and I figured I really enjoy the pastry world a lot better. One of the reasons I switched was the kitchen was male dominated and I felt a lot of pressure, so then I went to Hawaii for more work experience. I worked there for a few months before I started the pastry program at CIA. It was a pain!! to apply for as you need a gazillion references, and interviews but luckily I passed, and I started in May 2004. 4 years later and a bachelors' degree after I started to work in the pastry world. So my advice is... hit the ground running, and accept that this industry is tough, what may seem wrong to you, sometimes is right to the chef and you just gotta nod your head to accept that the chef is always right. Be humble and be a hard worker, keep a keen eye of your surroundings and always think a few steps ahead of everyone else that's how you win in this industry. Work fast and work clean, that's how it works! I wish you all good luck for those pursuing this career as it's a lot of hard work and if you aren't ready to bust ur azz then don't bother continuing ;-P

2) Why do you love Nars so much?
Since I started nars..wow when I was like 20? I was mezmerized by their wonderful colours and concepts and their philosophy that beauty is in everyone , just gotta enhance it. I love the artistic genius that is Francois Nars and I don't know if anyone is par with his transitional,magical skills with makeup. I heart Nars! and I'm sorry I will not sell my nars mirrors.... I might throw a contest but that's if I can find a way to protect the glass...anyhoo.....

3)Why can you speak English if you live in Taiwan?
Err...I dunno how to explain this as I've mentioned this before but for my new followers my Hometown is Vancouver, BC, Canada where English is official language including francais. My true hometown. Taiwan is just my heritage and where my parents and family are from, but I'll forever be Canadian! I am Canadian, although I'm also Taiwanese... (not PRC) hehe. I speak Mandarin, Taiwanese, most Cantonese, English and French ( err but a bit rusty) that's all ;-p

4) What's your skincare regime?
Ppl ask me this a lot because of the long hours I work and yet luckily I haven't broken out yet. ;-p my secret is... I take a crap load of vitamins, including iron and vit.B and I use a sheet mask every other day. It doesn't have to be an expensive one but I just slap a sheet mask on my face before I go to bed and take it of an hour later. The serum really absorbs into your skin and I find that it really "plumps up your dermis" Another thing I do is, one day a week I don't add anything to my skin. I just wash it and leave it for the whole day. The reason is you need to let your skin breath and let it produce it's natural oils, if you keep putting on product your skin becomes reliant on it and your skin will age faster that way. ;-p hope this helps.
FYI I'm using Embryolisse moisterizer, aqualable form essence, and triakyline and eye duo creams

Hopefully I answered some questions

Hey Babies

2009-11-25T16:52:00.000-08:00

I'm back! I am feeling a bit weird and in shock now as it's been officially 2 months working for Robuchon and I finally quit yesterday. The working hours were killing me and my health is deteriorating quickly. I'm very upset as I'm leaving a job that I love and leaving 2 very talented Chefs (Chef Narita and CHef Kanai) and I hope one day I can persue this career path again. In the meantime I'm going to take a break from being in pastry and maybe i'll start my own business selling confectionary online. Please stay tuned for that, and now I can finally put on makeup! My love for makeup as returned and I'm excited I will be blogging more and making more videos and basically letting myself enjoy life! I know I know 2 months was nothing ..but i was exhausted physically. I wanna thank you all for all the great encouragements throughtout this hard time in my life and I will "add oil" for my future endeavours.

XOXO

Cathy

I apologize.

2009-10-26T05:13:00.000-07:00

I want to say sorry to all my friends here! for my lack of posts. To give you a few details of my life now. Since Sept 29th of last month I've had 2 days off, and I work 15 hours per day. Sometimes 16 hours. So mind you, I haven't had time to post or make videos on youtube. Hope you understand. But what's really bothering me is I'm contemplating quitting my job because for the 1 month I've been at work, I've been at the hospital emergency room 3 times for exhaustion, liver failure, and dehydration. So I' don't know whether it's worth it or not, but I love what I do. In addition to the physical stress, there is a whole lotta mental stress too which is letting my hair fall out in clumps. I look so haggard lately I haven't dared taken a photo of myself. I just hope you all are well, tho! and life goes on... Sometimes ppl have to make sarifices, just to achieve their dreams. .....

wan an!!!!

ok maybe this is old news, and I went there several months ago but decided to post this. For those of you on a diet LIKE MOI... there is yogurt art, a frozen yogurt store behind Ming Yao dept store in east side Taipei yum!!!! although it tastes nothing like Pinkberry or Yogen Fruz. I guess Taiwanese ppl aren't so picky on flavour like me! haha

it's ok la but here are the pics!

Alert! Miracle product...

a 3 in 1 product! and it's the Garnier Aqua Defense gel essence. It can be used as a serum under your moisterizer , a gel creme, or as a hydrating mask. It has a very light fruity green apple scent, and it's a total DUPE for the H20 face oasis. I love love love this as it's around 350NT dollars. Super cheap right? and it's so good. I keep it in the fridge and slather it on before I go to bed. It has fruit enzymes in it too so it exfoliates the skin. Overall 2 thumbs up for Caffy and I can't believe I didn't know about this sooner.!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

BTW this is super easily absorbed into the skin!

Dragon Lady nails...

When I went to Etude House looking for some new nail colours I passed by their new dear darling bling bling nails.. and I got the red one.. MISTAKE..i feel like such a dragon lady. I feel like with these nails I don't feel sophisticated but I feel like I should be wearing a Chi-pao and have my hair in a bun held by chopsticks. Ugh! I'm going back to Etude house to get some more pastel fun shades.. I have my eye on this mint aqua colour.

so this red polish..is a thumbs down for Caffy..maybe I'll give it to someone hmmm.....

I love Etude House
