Go Time... Not!

2012-12-01T20:46:00.000-10:00

I tried to get some Christmas shopping done today but failed miserably. Mostly everything I bought was for me instead... hahah. Good thing the malls are open later and surprisingly it wasn't packed. Net time I have to make sure I actually get some people crossed off my list, trying to beat that holiday rush and annoying crowds while I can.

On another note the Neiman Marcus x Target line was in stores and I couldn't resist trying on the Robert Rodriguez Dress and Prabal Gurung Cape. A lot of the stuff was really nice but I didn't buy anything since I felt that nothing was really practical for me.

It's also starting to get a little chilly, so I'm happy to wear boots and chunky cardigans. It may not be full blown winter but the cold weather is a nice change to the hot summer weather I'm use to.

Haha apologies for the goofy pose! I'm so excited for the Holidays and seeing Mr. K again!

Happy Thanksgiving 2013

2012-11-22T15:02:00.003-10:00

Thankful for what I got, those are the people and things that matter most.

Flew back to Hawaii to be with Mr. K, I'm literally on cloud 9.

It was a long flight home but glad to be back even for just a few days.

So who's going Black Friday Shopping?

Forever 21 x Sanrio: Hello Kitty Forever Capsule Collection 2012

2012-11-17T15:23:00.001-10:00

Hey everyone! Doing a quick haul post of the super cute Forever 21 x Sanrio collection that was launched yesterday November 16th. This I believe is their second collaboration with the first one being last year around this time as well, which makes me wonder if this will be a annual holiday collaboration between the two for years to come? I noticed that I've been getting a ton of hits on last years collaboration post but that stuff is old news so let's get on with the new.

Hello Kitty and friends invite you...

I went to Fashion Valley bright and early to pick up my forgotten nail polish at Sephora and made it to Forever 21 right after. I was on a time crunch due to my class wanting to start earlier so I knew I had to be prompt in choosing what I wanted. I looked at the items online but wanted to see the quality before attempting to order online and I figured that I could just pick up all the items I wanted in store, little did I know that all the stores carried different stock of the items. In all I hit up 3 locations and I still ended up placing an online order as well to get the few items I didn't find in store at all.

Since I went early I had my pick of items in my sizes, the first item I saw sold out though was the splattered Hello Kitty necklace, which by the way was a collaboration with F21, Sanrio, and Onch (I can only recall him because he was on a reality TV show to become Paris Hilton's best friend). Of the stores I went to Fashion Valley(first three pictures above) had a great selection of several items, Plaza Bonita (third picture) had very few items and no window display and the San Ysidro location had a decent selection as well but not as nice as the Fashion Valley display. It was nice to see that a lot of the home items were readily available in store but the jewelry was very limited, I only saw the earrings,1 necklace, and bracelet in store.

With such a large selection to choose from I mainly chose knit and thick sweaters that I found suitable for wear in cold weather with the exception of a shirt that I could use for layering. I stayed away from the the items that were of sheer and flimsy material since they also looked liked they wrinkled to easily and would be a hassle to maintain. I was a little turned off by this collections colour scheme as a lot the the colours were bright and bold and more suitable for summer time and then the other half of were black and white with pops of neon here and there.

My Forever 21 x Sanrio 2012 Haul

With the exception of some of items I ordered online, here are the items I picked up in store! A few of the items are already sold out online such as the bracelet and bow sweater. Get some cute items while they last and be sure to check your local Forever 21 to check quality before purchasing :)

And stay tuned for an accessory giveaway!

A Little Retail Therepy

2012-11-15T11:36:00.001-10:00

With the Holiday sales and shopping upon us I decided to do a little retail therapy during Veterans Day weekend. Not only did I enjoy the long weekend but having little perks from free food to discounts at certain stores were a nice incentive to go out and get some shopping done but most of all the thanks and appreciation that was received for being a veteran was the best part.

Now I haven’t actually shopped in Sephora for a while but was greeted by a nice email that gave me 20% for VIB status. I probably won’t make it next year though cause I can’t believe that I spent $500 in makeup alone last year just to get that status, I’m pretty sure a chunk of it were gifts but still $500 at Sephora in a year… then again I’m pretty sure I spent frivolously many a times. In actuality since I stopped blogging around March I kind of spent money on my other hobby and less on makeup and clothes.

Ciate CAVIAR Mini Bar $29.xx -> $22.xx

Too Faced The Return to Sexy Palette $48.xx -> $38.xx

Smashbox Best Sellers Kit (500 VIB points)

Nails Inc. Sweets Away (not shown) $9.50 ->$7.60

MAC Perfectly Plush Brush Kit: Advanced $49.50

How can so few things cost so much?? Really makes me wonder about the price of beauty but regardless I purchased more so since I had my handy 20% off. Somehow my Nails Inc polish wasn't in the bag and after calling Sephora back they let me know I could come in and pick up the polish by bringing in my receipt so kudos Sephora for the awesome customer service. Now the MAC brushes were a bit of a splurge, I have heard the Holiday kits tend not to be as good as their regular brushes but decided to give them a try every since I tried their blending brush(224) and loved it but don't want to splurge single brushes.

7 for $26.50 Mix and Match Underwear

Victoria Secret/ PINK was having one of their 7 undies for $26.50 sale again and gave out SRC cards as well with your purchase, oh how I wish I would get one of those $100 SRC cards! It's kind of funny watching the VS undie price just gradually go up, I remember when it was 5 for $24.50 back in the day and now it's regularly up by $2 but I suppose it's only natural that price would eventually go up. A lot of holiday themed undies but I only got 2 pairs mainly because I liked the teal colour and the other had a cute but subtle snowflake design. Other then that, I never seem to go without buying at least one pair of animal print but this time I picked up three.

Next post will be a review of the beauty items :)

Brrr.. It's cold Outside.

2012-11-12T21:19:00.001-10:00

It's been far to long I've been away from blogging, I thought I was at the point where I wanted to give it up altogether but the creative outlet to relate to other girls and share my thoughts on all things girly as well as get the scoop on the newest fashion and beauty news was calling and I couldn't resist. My last few post I admit were a little depressing but I've finally reached a medium where I'm content but still working on things, somethings will always be an uphill battle but I don't want to mope about things that I can and will improve.

Now on to the subject of the seasonal weather change, when I first got back to So Cal in September it was triple digits and some crazy unbearable heat and now it's creeping down in the 50's at night. All I can say is half the time I feel like I'm freezing cold, as one of the my old bosses said, I think Hawaii has spoiled me with wonderful weather that it's hard for me to function in cold weather. But even if it's only for a little while I'm kind of liking the idea of dressing for the cold weather, which means boots, coats, scarves, and chunky cardigans.

Here I am on a little shopping excursion earlier tonight, still rocking my 3 year old Coach bag my mom got me and sipping on that Thai tea.

On one last note, can I just say I hate the "new" blogger interface! I'll admit it's one of the things that deterred me from returning cause I dislike it so much and it's kind of annoying to navigate. I also have some issues trying to redesign this whole blog so I've pretty much simplified it till I can figure out how to get it more stylized to my liking.

Game Face On.

2012-11-12T11:44:00.004-10:00

Time to redo the blog, get the ball rolling, and get back into blogging. Thank you to all those who have stuck with me thus far.

New Holo Nail Polish!? I Think My Love Is Renewed.

2012-08-08T10:58:00.000-10:00

Been out of the polish and beauty game for a while. But I decided to search up some of the up and coming lines. Summer nail polish lines usually turn me off due to the fact that they are mostly pop, in your face, neon kind of colors but OMG Color Club has done it again with the new "Halo Hues" line.

The big question is... will I find this at Ross or try to make a trek to the extensive nail polish store down in Waikiki but then again I will be back in San Diego this coming September and boy oh boy do they have those aweome cheap and extensive nail polish spots all over. Halo Hues here I come, when it comes down to polishes, I cannot resist a good halo polish and these look so promising. Head on over to Lacquered Lover to see swatches.

Winner and Some Thoughts.

2012-04-14T07:36:00.000-10:00

And the WINNER of my latest Giveaway is...

LISA H.

I've contacted you and you have 48 hours to reply before a new winner will be picked. Congrats :)

I think I've lost some of my blogging mojo and I'm trying to find it. Been busy with multiple things going on in my life and big changes that will occur in the next few months and end of this year. Sometimes when your heart, let alone your head is not in it, it's hard to pull yourself together to write and post. My blog is not something I'm ready to give up on though since I've worked and put a lot of time and effort into it. I'll find myself soon enough but also wanted to share my new hobby... dolls. Yes F*ckin dolls, Monster High dolls that is.

I'm Not Dead.

2012-04-08T21:01:00.000-10:00

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a great day regardless if you celebrate Easter or not. Lent is officially over and I gave up soda and fast food for 2 months. Going to continue this as I have more money in my pocket and less lbs off my butt and thighs ;) No overall that stuff is just really bad and I'm really trying to embrace a much better lifestyle.

On the other hand as the title states... I'm not dead!

But I sure feel like it since I've been working my odd schedule for the last few days, coupled with the in laws and other hobbies that seem to be consuming a lot of my time, I just feel so out of the loop.

The good news I'm trying to get back on track this week and have tons to share! From hauls to reviews I have it all !!! My giveaway is still going on, so if you haven't entered yet, please do if you're interested.

It's Been A Little Quiet.

2012-03-26T20:36:00.001-10:00

The "in-laws" are here and it's been a little challenging trying to find the time to blog and film while attending to them. Along with a mixed up work schedule, I'm just really exhausted all the time.

Jason Wu for Target Navy Wheel Dress (Facebook exclusive dress)

Jeffrey Campbell Raid

Coach Sabrina Satchel Bag

Mr. K took me on date and I got dolled up to see The Hunger Games with him. Great movie and quite true to the book for the most part, definitely a must see if you're a fan of the series.

China Glaze Colours From The Capitol and China Glaze Magnetix

2012-03-20T20:59:00.000-10:00

A Quick how to video on how the magnet is used to achieve the effect if you're curious.

China Glaze Magnetix

A not so new nail effect but hot trend for nail polish lovers, I think it's the new crackle but unlike crackle I actually like this nail effect. China Glaze has decided to come out with their own line in 6 different colours but I picked up only the two that I liked the most because I know they would be the only 2 I would wear the most.

China Glaze You Move Me: A gold with a bronze-y brown magnet pull.

China Glaze Pull Me Close: A steel blue with a darker grayish blue magnet pull. (Worst luck ever with this in terms that I dropped it on my beige carpet 3 times o_o , amazing that hair spray, alcohol, pure acetone, hydrogen peroxide, and water got the dark polish off the carpet with hardly a trace in sight.

China Glaze Colours From The Capitol

China Glaze Colours From The Capitol boast of 12 shades that will represent the 12 districts of the futuristic capitol Panem. This distinctly named nail polish collection is inspired by "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins and released in March to coincide with the release of the The Hunger Games movie, which hits theaters this Friday. Before coming out the nail polishes underwent a name to what they are now.

I purchased these polishes from Sally Beauty Supply and although I have a beauty club card it was still a pricey purchase for 8 of the 12 polishes. I decided on the 8 that I have because they all had their initial

appeal and the other 4 I deemed not interesting enough to purchase. Enjoy the swatches :)

China Glaze Stone Cold : A Gun metal gray with a matte finish. I'm not usually a big fan of matte finishing but this is a pretty awesome matte polish and represents it's moniker very well. One of a kind in this set as it's the only matte.

China Glaze Agro: An olive green, Agro has the right touch of subtle shimmer and soft metallic finish. I love deeper green polishes like these opposed to bright greens

China Glaze Smoke and Ashes: In my opinion a black base colour but contains blue to green shimmer, it actually is very similar to two different polishes I have from Etude House and The Face Shop, maybe that's why I was drawn to it. I like the added shimmer as it adds depth opposed to wearing plain black nail polish.

China Glaze Riviting: A fiery orange with a golden shimmer and a jelly finish. It's a bit to bright for what I usually wear but I thought it would look brilliant to pair it with Electrify for a fiery gradient combonation.

China Glaze Fast Track: A beige creme with some crazy gold shimmer action going on, looks better against direct sunlight to enhance the lovely shimmer. I deem this work appropriate with a little pizzazz!

China Glaze Dress Me Up: I loved the original name "Primrose" better as I thought it suited it more but Dress me up has to be one of my top favorites from the collection. A dusty blush pink with a creme, which I'm pretty much a sucker for, I would say this is a go to colour for my lazy nail weekends.

China Glaze Electrify: Now a name that suits the polish well! I can't deny that the mini gold glitters being packed with larger red glitters do electrify, so bright, vibrant and eye catching. The glitter is densely pack so a few coats is needed for full coverage, shown is two coats.

China Glaze Luxe and Lush: Oh my flakie! Okae did I really need another flakie? The answer is yes! I always have room for flakies. Now Luxe and Lush is different in a way that the flakies are definitely the biggest size I've seen compared to other flakie polishes I own. Against the light you can see it flashes orange - yellow - green when paired with Smoke and Ashes. Another one of it's kind in the group.

What are your favorites? Are you planning to or have you already scooped any of these colours up?

Nail Polish Round Up

2012-03-18T18:29:00.000-10:00

With so many new collections that have come/are still coming out, I decided to pick up quite a few. I discovered a new store on the Waikiki strip that has a bunch of new collections but the price is still pretty expensive but slightly cheaper than buying retail. My Sally's Beauty Club Card also expired and while renewing it they just got a few new collection in as well and since I was armed with a 15% off coupon , well you know the rest..

China Glaze Colors From The Capitol

Agro, Stone Cold, Smoke and Ashes, Fast Track, Dress Me Up, Luxe and Lush, Electrify, and Riveting

China Glaze

Bad Kitty, Candie, Fairy Dust, Sea Spray, and Sunset Sail

China Glaze Magnetix

Pull Me Close and You Move Me

Zoya Fleck Effect

Chloe, Opal, Maisie and Kissy (Jems and Jewels Collection)

Jordana Glitters

Sequins, Pixie Pink, LA City Nights

These polishes have given me so much grief trying to find them at Kmart, seems like no restocks and very limited range availability. Still hoping I'll be able to find the rest when they come out.

Random beauty buys from various places. I needed them at some point or another and just bought along the way.

All that glitters is not gold, wouldn't it be nice to find a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow considering I see them on a daily basis alas that's not the case but it is St. Patrick's Day weekend and I had an itching to do the nails that would represent the holiday. Didn't want to do something so gimmicky with clovers and go overboard with green so why not something simple and that can be translated into any other everyday manicure.

So many feelings

2012-03-15T18:02:00.003-10:00

What would make you unsubscribe to a blog or channel? Do they just become boring, annoying, uninteresting? I admit I do watch my blog subscriber count and have noticed the count go down recently, it's like a blow to the ego sometimes and makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. But then it makes me think back to “Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.” I never want to change my blog to something where I'm trying to impress anyone, all I need to know is I blog about what I like, my interest, and it's always best to share with those who have the same common interest.

Edit:

I hope I didn't come across as superficial and only caring about numbers... The truth is I'm well aware of the number I have does not match the regulars I see commenting and for that I'm thankful for those who take time to read my blog, comment, and provide feedback. You girls are the ones that matter :)

Relating to what my mother said about friends, I'd rather have a few real readers who read and comment than 800 plus readers who could give two sh*ts about my blog.

Now onto another emotional roller coaster... relationships. Nothing is ever going to be perfect and just like any other couple Mr. K and I have our moments. Lets just say he happened to piss me off that I ended up punching my nail polish rack. Luckily only two broke but the clean up and damage was not worth it, trying to get nail polish out of the carpet is annoying and a pain and destroying your stuff leads to regret when you realize how stupid your fight was to begin with.

By the way were peachy fuzzy keen now, we love each other so we put up with each other's nonsense all the time.

The "in-laws" are coming again so we set up our second room/ office for them. We had to move all my items to the bedroom and it seems so cluttered now. I have no idea where to put the rest of the items to be honest and have realized I have way to much and need to down size. Blog sale soon probably.

Weekend hurry up and come already.

Circle Lenses from uniqso.com #2

2012-03-13T20:28:00.004-10:00

Another circle lens review from uniqso, went with two pairs as usual. Ordered to replace my current brown lenses and decided to go with one more unusual colour, which is violet. To be honest I don't choose lenses that I want badly, I neither want or need lenses but I think they're fun to wear and I've been complimented a few times while wearing them, if anything I usually choose lenses when they are on sale or I can get a discount on them. For your viewing pleasure watch the review or details under the cut.

5.Replacement Period: 12 months

6.Availability: 2 - 3 days

Overall I like these but not more than the Geo Angel browns. The rose design is unique and a nice play on brown lenses without making them too unnatural. My only complaint would be that they were a little uncomfortable upon putting them on but they settled nicely after a few hours of wear. Great lenses for a great price and my rating of a 4/5.

Beuberry - Lurve 3 Tones Violet

5.Replacement Period: 12 months

6.Availability: 2 - 3 days

Whoo! Overall I really like these despite the fact they are 16mm and for some reason it doesn't seem that enlarging. I think the violet pops out vibrantly and while not so natural I still love the pop of colour these give the eyes. Upon putting them on, they were very comfortable and adjusted to my eyes really well. Another pair of great lenses for the price I paid and an overall rating of 5/5.

Tell me what you think :)

MAC Shop Cook Collection Launch and Haul

2012-03-04T19:51:00.003-10:00

Yay! First MAC haul ever! No really this is the first time I've ever purchased anything from MAC. To be honest I had no intentions of buying anything from this collection even though I saw some wonderful hauls and swatches on Me-Hi's blog post here as well as Dinorah's blog post here. But I couldn't help it while I was browsing the mall with Mr. K and saw they were having a really neat launch event for the Shop Cook collection I was immediately drawn in.

1.) Promotional Window displays, big hair and bright makeup with a 60's fashion twist.

2.) Brittney, the lovely makeup artist who did my look. She had a pink look with the same quad she did my orange look with. Love the versatility of this quad (excuse the undone brows and awkward smile)

3.) DIVA! I couldn't help but take a picture with this awesome "lady" helping promote the Shop Cook collection, Mr. K couldn't help but laugh at the cleavage print shirt. They also had some promoters who were done up like the promotional window as well as men who looked like Ken dolls also promoting.

4.) The MAC store in Ala Moana is actually really tiny so they also took up a portion of the mall's open space and created a pop up shop, where they did make overs, handed out fliers and cupcakes to the ladies waiting to be done up.

I really like how she did the look! Definitely had to buy the quad after this. She used more items on my face than I'm use to putting on and Mr. K said way to much makeup for his taste but I still enjoyed the experience of getting my make up done.

Updated Photo (also purchased one more tendertone but sad I couldn't get the lipstick "Innocence, Beware")

MAC Paint Pot "Painterly" $17.50

MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush $30.00

MAC Eye Shadow Quad "Call Me Bubbles " $38.00 (Shop Cook)

MAC Tendertone Lip Balm "Hush Hush" $15.00 (Shop Cook)
MAC Tendertone Lip Balm "Purring" $15.00 (Shop Cook)

I'm worried if I return the quad I may be tempted to buy more :P

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, I have so much to blog and film and can't wait to share!

Jeffrey Campbell What in Black Suede

Yeah, finally got them. Shoes, half the bane of my spending woes really (nail polish I consider the other half). They were available on Eilatan for a whopping $104, down $60 ish so I caved and got them, I would have preferred the leather version but the suede will suffice. Also half a size bigger than my normal size but it works out so I can wear them comfortably with tights or thick socks.

Nike Free Run 2

If you're going to wear banging shoes you should have banging legs. I'm happy I can fit youth size shoes because I saved $30 buying the youth size instead of women's running shoes. I've been on a workout program and while the weight loss has been a bit harder to see change, I can tell my body at least is getting toned especially my legs and arms. 3 more months to get a decent beach body, I have too many unworn bathing suits calling my name.

Circle Lens Review from Uniqso.com

2012-02-22T01:01:00.001-10:00

I decided to do an order for two pair of circle lenses and this time from uniqso.com, after seeing one of the pairs I'm featuring reviewed by another blogger. When it comes to circle lenses I do like the more natural and subtle colours like brown but this time I just wanted to see the difference for myself by trying a pair of pink and grey lenses so review, here, now, plus more under the cut!

I initially ordered because I also wanted new lenses before Valentines day so I ordered 21 JAN 12 and received the notice for pick up 17 FEB 12 but didn't pick them up till 22 FEB 12. Overall it was almost a month before I received them but due to a holiday occurring in the country (Malaysia) and the after holiday shipping rush my order was delayed twice. Regardless uniqso was kind to inform me both times of the delays and it's completely understandable, having shipped out many items myself, once it's physically out of your hands it's hard to determine delays and other things that might happen.

P.S. Excuse the bed head and au natural face, not about to get made up since you gals have seen me makeup less countless times, imperfections and all.

Order Date: 21 JAN 12

Received: 22 FEB 12

Amazingly enough these lenses are quite subtle in colour considering they are pink, I do like that they are not too vibrant and I also like the 14mm size. I have a preference now of the size being 14mm to avoid my eyes looking too enlarged. Upon wearing them they are really comfortable and they move withing my eyes with ease.

Wow these pair really stand out! I didn't realize the mm was 16 till I put them on and went back to check out the lens info. Mr. K saw these and said my in real life my eyes end up looking more blue than grey and overall he was meh about them and said they look too unnatural. Overall I do like these a lot, I think the lace design is actually really neat but the enlargement is the only drawback since I thought 15 mm was too big and here I am wearing 16 mm but I will use these when I see fit but probably just not as much as the 14mm pairs I have. I wore these for a couple of hours while out and felt just as normal as my prescribed contact lenses, very comfy and no trouble or hassles.

Final Verdict

I would order from Uniqso again, the service it great in terms of price, communication and selection. On the lenses I will probably experiment with a few more colours but will be sticking to brown most of the time as well as 14mm.

Tell me what you think!

NOTD: Jason Wu for Target Inspired Nails

Sorry they look so washed out, taken early evening when the sun was going down. Still on my Jason Wu for Target kick since I purchased a few more pieces from the line but waiting and anxious for them to arrive. Loving this floral print so much but not satisfied with this manicure, will attempt again since the bare nails were bugging me. You would think with a three day weekend I would get my nails done but the Sims 3 kicked in.

Other than that chill weekend with the love of my life. Renewed interest in exploring the island, I guess when I realize we have very limited tie left here, it makes me want to discover and photo every crevice of paradise I still can, lush and pretty peacocks with some misty rain made for a lovely afternoon with my best friend.
