Lancome La Vie est Belle & Victor&Rolf Flowerbomb Mini

2012-11-21T22:19:00.002-08:00

Aww got this miniature bottle of Flowerbomb at Sephora today for 100 points. It is so cute!

It's too bad most minis don't come with a sprayer... I do not like contaminating the fragrance with my skin cells when dabbing. The fragrance also smells different than if it were sprayed. I will decant my minis into spray vials once I get them. I ordered ten from eBay for really cheap.. That way I'll actually use my minis! ;)

Today, I tried my sample of Lancome La Vie est Belle... Opening was similar to Flowerbomb but had an odd pear/black current note which I wasn't a fan of. The scent got sweeter and sweeter-- very much like that of candied flowers. Twenty minutes later, it smelled like warm hotcakes and syrup. Very gourmand! But I find it to be too linear and common for my liking. Good thing this sample will last me a while! Just a teeny tiny spray and I smelled it all day. ;)

Seeing that most reviews compare this fragrance to Flowerbomb, I will have to test and review Flowerbomb soon. As soon as those spray vials come. Can't wait <3

Thierry Mugler Alien Sunessence Or d'Ambre Review

2012-11-18T19:56:00.005-08:00

Wow, it just shows that awesome reviews do not mean that a fragrance will be awesome on everyone. You just got to try something before buying it! This was the case for me for Thierry Mugler Alien Or d'Ambre.

I used just two sprays and boy was it stinky at first spray! Sharp, acidic kiwi swirled with potent jasmine. It just wasn't a pleasant combination! The kiwi note was sour and not a yummy, juicy kiwi but more like a spoiled one :( It does not help that I do not like the scent of jasmine! A light jasmine note would be ok but this was too heavy! The reviews indicated that the jasmine note is not detectable, but on my skin it was very prominent.

A while later, I got the most excruciating headache. One of the worst headaches I had in a while. Even two tablets of Advil was not helping. It was the first time a perfume made me feel so sick that I nearly threw up. I had to scrub off the remnants of smell off my wrists...

Well, today I tried it again to give it a second chance. Used just one spray, and no headache, but I still just do not like the jasmine note which just never goes away. Even after the drydown, which I found tolerable and similar to Chanel 5 Eau Premiere, just had a bit too much jasmine for my liking.

So I will be returning this. Unfortunate because the price was soo good but still do not want a huge bottle of perfume that I find irritating.

The bottle is beautiful though! But it is not pink at the top like the photos in the ads :( It's really hard to spray, too-- there's a tiny flat square you press. I think the sprayer might be broken actually because a jet of perfume comes out.

Back!

2012-11-17T08:11:00.000-08:00

I'm finally back! I hope. ;) That was a super long break!

I decide to make this first post after my break about my new obsession: fragrances!!! Wow, my collection is really starting to grow...

Bath and Body Works Fragrance Mists
[L-R] Secret Wonderland, Cashmere Glow, Be Enchanted

I've just realized most of my fragrances have jasmine in it. Not a fan of pure jasmine scent, but wonder why I cannot really detect it in these perfumes. ;)

And that's not all. I've got a Lavanila Vanilla Grapefruit rollerball and miniatures of Burberry Brit and Gucci Envy Me. Not my favorites, although Brit and Vanilla Grapefruit are nice and non-offensive. Good for the office! Envy Me is a blast of synthetic white florals--not really my cup of tea.

B&BW fragrance mists are really better than I had expected!! Long lasting and the scents although ubiquitous are really nice and hard to hate. Really can't go wrong with 3 for $10 travel sized sprays! I will haul after Christmas during their semi-annual sale ;)

Not sure if I'll be keeping Alien Or d'Ambre or Toujours Glamour!! If anyone has tried those, please let me know your thoughts! I could not restrain due to the cheap price. All the Moschino must have gone on clearance while I wasn't looking, and that was the last bottle so I swooped it without thinking. ;)

Guess my next post will be more in-depth reviews!!

Crackle Nails

2011-08-10T19:12:00.000-07:00

Hello! I'm back!! And bought a whole lot of nail polish including the Sally Hansen Crackle polishes in black, violet, and gold. Also bought Sally Hansen xtreme wear polishes in mint, lilac, and pastel yellow :) The nail polishes are quite affordable at Walmart and Target. Crackle polishes were only around $6. I also found out that each Target has different prices. I bought the xtreme polishes at one Target for $2.74 but another Target sold them for $2.04. Fortunately, the second Target adjusted the price for me:)

Made today's look using mint, lilac, and gold crackle polish.

First, I applied a base coat then painted half my nails mint and half lilac, alternating which sides I put the color on for each nail. Then applied a layer of top coat as I found out the crackle does not work well if I don't do this before applying it. Then applied gold crackle. Lastly, sealed all my nails using Sally Hansen mega shine top coat! I really like this look :) I like having dual colors under the crackle for a rainbowy effect:) I think it's cute for the summer!

Taking a Break

2011-04-22T12:25:00.000-07:00

Wow, I didn't post for over a month! I'm so busy with my last year of college before going to grad school. I promise to update soon! ;)

[Review] Melliesh Lip Gloss

2011-03-05T14:13:00.000-08:00

My favorite lip gloss ever!!! Melliesh Lip Gloss in 03. It's the PERFECT nude color!

I use this one daily. It goes well with colorful eyemakeup when you don't want your lips to stand out too much. It's perfect for the Japanese pale lips trend when putting it on top of a lip concealer. For me, I dab on a tiny bit of the Candy Doll lip concealer and apply this on top. It creates the best pale nudy lips! A light beigy peachy color :D

The gloss also already contains concealer! So it actually lightens up your lips even if you don't apply lip concealer. But my lips are especially pigmented so I use lip concealer beforehand.

I just dab a bit of the gloss on my lip and pat it with my fingers! ^^ It's not sticky which I love. I hate sticky lip glosses. It also has no fragrance or stinging sensation. Love this. After I use up all my lip glosses, I'm only buying this from now on ^^

DIY Magnetic Palette Under $10!

2011-02-22T21:25:00.000-08:00

HI! Well I bought a Unii Palette ($29) and kinda regretted it because it's so expensive!!! Whatever, I think it's still good for traveling though! I bought it basically just for the mirror. The mirror definitely will come in handy when traveling when I don't want to do my makeup in the bathroom (Which I don't like doing unless the hotel is 5 stars xD) I considered buying the Z-Palette or MAC Pro Palette, but remembering my last post to not buy anything, I decided to make my own DIY palette using cheap items I got at the dollar store and other stuff I already had at home!

I watched a lot of Youtube videos and read blogs on how to make one. Most people used DVD cases or CD cases. To be honest, I found that a bit... ghetto ^^ SO I decided not to use those things. I used an old air freshener container I found instead. HAHA i guess that's pretty ghetto too but this air freshener is really nice you'll see ;)

First I depotted most of my makeup. OMG. All Japanese cosmetics have a HOLE at the bottom. This makes depotting so simple! All I have to do is find that hole (it's usually under the label/sticker), then I poke it with my small scissors and voila! Out comes the pan!!! Easy! For my NYX Trio eyeshadows I nearly burned down my kitchen since I had to use candles. The smell of burning plastic was awful and I swear I don't want to go through that again. I love Japanese cosmetics that make depotting so so easy! Buying Japanese cosmetics from now on :)

Depotted Japanese makeup! Minus the small circular white one and bottom right. That's a b-day eyeshadow from Sephora and Boots Blush! :]

To make the Magnetic Palette

I used:
-Magnet Sheets from Daiso ($1.50)
-Adhesive Small Magnets from Daiso ($1.50)
-An old air freshener container I found
-Cardboard from packages
-Scissors
-Tape

Total Spent: LESS THAN $10!!!!

This is what I came out with! It's pretty good for DIY I think :) I sealed the holes so air doesn't get in. I love how the case has those holes and it's transparent so I can see what's inside:)

I cut out cardboard to fit my container. Then I stuck my magnetic sheet on top of the cardboard. Stuck the adhesive magnets to the bottom of my pans. The red tabs on the sides are for me to lift up that layer, as there is another layer of makeup under it ;)
(Hah, those are all my Japanese makeup! :) Lavshuca, Candy Doll, Fasio, Shu Uemura, Visee, Majolica Majorca, Anna Sui)

What's great about my container is that its pretty thick so I actually put a second layer under it~ As you can see I can fit 4 pretty large blushes here. There's still a lot more space left for me to put a many more eyeshadows^^

There you go! Hope you find this inspiring and come up with great ideas yourself. Instead of buying that expensive stuff online, save your money and look around your house for "trash" you can use to make your own :) I am glad I didn't buy the Z-Palette. My plastic container is way more sturdy I think! :)

The shopaholic disease

2011-02-19T21:37:00.000-08:00

Hi all. This is a pretty personal post. Please disregard lol. It's just a reflection of what I'm feeling these days.

Lately, I've just been spending too much money and buying too much makeup and other stuff that I find I don't really need. I truly feel like a shopaholic that just can't stop. This week alone I spend $100 on this stuff. This shopaholic disease started this year! I'm a senior in college, and from freshmen year to junior year, I had ONE eyeshadow palette (Urban Decay Ammo) and one blush (Anna Sui). That's it! Nothing else. Really I'm not kidding. I rarely wore makeup. Now I have whole drawer full, and this collection grew starting in October I would say. Why did I develop this disease in the first place? lol To be honest, I still don't wear heavy makeup to school, so why do I buy so much makeup these days? Why did I buy those MAC brushes when I can do the same thing with an ELF brush (it just doesn't feel as nice)? PLUS I'm a newb who doesn't need MAC brushes anyway!!!

When I look at these things, I have an urge to buy it. I feel that I really, really want it, and once I get it I'll be happy! But it's the opposite. Once these things arrive, I think, "why did I want this so bad?" and I'm full of regrets. I mean they're pretty and everything, but once I get it, I'm not any happier than before. :( Now I have a drawer full of makeup, and I'm thinking that I'll never be able to finish it. It's going to expire, and I'll have to throw them all away. I buy so many different shades of blush and eyeshadow, and I realize that to a 2nd person, they all look the same. Even to me, I don't think I need so many shades! But I just can't stop myself when I see cute packaging or a good review.. T.T

When I see myself spending money like this, I feel so superficial and wasteful. I want to stop. The documentary, "I Am," really touched me when I watched it two weeks ago. It's about America's culture of consuming, spending money, making money. How most people don't find meaning in their lives, such as desires to help others and make the world a better place. Yet, are rich people really happier? Does having things really make people more satisfied? To be honest, I'm a victim of this disease too. I realize having things doesn't make me happier. In fact, I feel more depressed that I spent so much money...

I'm going to try to stop. It's going to be hard.... I've decided to halt buying anything I don't *Need* from now on. Hopefully this post will remind me whenever I have urgings. I'm going to pray for this heart of desire to stop yearning! Now, I just want to finish all my current makeup and not buy anything until it's done!! There's just something beautiful about hitting pan on an eyeshadow or finishing a tube of lip gloss! I love it!

Of course I will keep reviewing what I already have...

If anyone read this, thanks for reading lol! Does anyone else feel this way? Ugh. I'm probably the only person who's depressed after shopping. Hope no one got offended by anything I said. This is a personal entry.

Rock & Republic Eyeshadow Swatches

2011-02-18T16:06:00.000-08:00

Hi! More R&R eyeshadow swatches!! I also just broke down and bought a Unii Palette as well as 3 palettes of NYX Trio eyeshadow palettes! Oh, and also three MAC brushes! I had a $200 Macy's gift card and decided to just splurge on some MAC brushes! Hehe. Will review/swatch them once they arrive!

These are actually my new favorite colors these days!

This one is called Tempting!
It's such a pretty shimmery greyish-lavender color!! Maybe my favorite color in this whole collection!! :)

This is Nailed!
A brilliant shimmery gunmetal color~ Reflects colorful particles under the light. It isn't glittery and doesn't contain big particles of shimmer. I love this! :) When paired with Tempting, it creates a glamorous smokey eye look ^^

Top: Nailed
Bottom: Tempting

I love these Rock and Republic eyeshadows because they are so smooth, creamy, blendable! Just amazing~. I love how these aren't glittery. I will be looking out for sales so I can buy again! Also, the eyeshadows are HUGE!!! Really worth it! Anyway, one con of these is that you can't depot it... Maybe there's a way, but it involves ruining the container, which is so beautiful...>< I would want to depot these and put them in my new Unii Palette since I have so many now!

Sasa Haul!!!

2011-02-15T17:14:00.000-08:00

Woohoo my package from Sasa finally came. I was so excited to get my products<3


Skin Food Black Sugar Cleansing Oil Skin Food Peach Sake Emulsion I actually haven't tried these yet, still finishing up my Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil and using up some other moisturizers I have.... I love the packaging though

Shu Uemura Depsea Water in rose
I liked my lavender one, so I got a full size one in rose~ I use this to wet my brushes so my BB cream/foundation doesn't get all cakey :)


Cyber Colors Eyeshadow in Slate Blue They ripped me off on this one! It expires in three months >( But it was only $1.50 or something..

Meishoku Organic Natural Mild Lotion (Moist Type)
This is great for my sensitive skin! (It says it contains no parabens, alcohol, fragrance, colorings)
I put it in a small spray bottle and mist my face with it~ It does have a small though, but it's all natural. Smells like rosemary, which I don't really like, but it's pretty mild

They gave me free red(pink) envelopes ^^ So cute!

Majolica Majorca Lash Expander!
This is the #1 Mascara on the Japanese cosme rankings!
It really is the best mascara I ever used. Lengthens my eyelashes since it contains tiny fibres. Also doesn't clump. Each lash is separated due to the comb on the mascara wand. Brilliant :) Will repurchase this again and again! Until they make something better :p

Yanagiya Prexceed Hair Cream
Essential Damage-Care Nuance Airy Hair Treatment
The first contains horse oil which is super good for your hair! Makes it shiny, moisturized, and soft.
Second one is pretty good too. Really lightweight. I will use these every day on my hair which is kinda damaged from digital perming.. and I have split ends :(

Ok that's it!!!

[Review] Violet Brushes

2011-02-06T11:51:00.000-08:00

Here are my favorite and softest brushes in my collection! They are a 16-pc violet brush set from Ebay. I bought these from the seller, glamlabel. I highly recommend these! They are $14 in total for 16 brushes!! It's a great deal. They ship from Hong Kong, but I got them in around a week. Seller claims the brushes are made from pony and goat hair. To be honest, I have no idea what they're made of (hopefully nothing strange), but they're SUPER soft and don't shed! ^^

Comes in a fold-up case. Super convenient for travel :)

[L-R] (3) Eyeshadow brushes, Angled Blush Brush, Small Blush brush, Large Powder Brush

The larger brushes all come with brush covers. I use the angled brush blush every day to contour the side of my nose. It works perfectly!:) Brushes are super soft so they pick up soft powders well and apply blushes lightly~

[L-R] Comb, Mascara, Smudge Brush, Angled Eyeliner, Eyeliner, Pointed, (2) Small Eyeshadow, Fan Brush, Medium Eyeshadow

Look how softttt it is!! XD

Just wanted to show a better picture, but this isn't true to the color. The color of the brushes are more of a magenta purple (actually just like my background lol) not blue-purple^^;

Seriously these are the best! I can't believe they're only $14 :S I want to get other colors~ but I don't know if they're the same quality! But these violet ones are unbeatable ^_^

[Review] Peach John Room Fragrance & Farm Tomita Lavender Hand Cream

2011-02-05T14:01:00.000-08:00

Helllooo, first of all, I want to say that I've changed the look of my blog!! ^^ Hope you like it! I love purple ♥ I tried to go for a glamorous/elegant theme.. >< Now I'm going to review two products today! First is Peach John Love & Peach Room Fragrance!<3

★★★★★　(5/5 Stars!)

Love & Peach Peach Room Fragrance in Sweet Peach Flavor! I bought this at the Peach John Store in Hong Kong! This was around HK$100. I bought it because this is what they use to make the store smell so
nice! I LOVE the smell of the Peach John Store LOL! Anyway, this stuff is a liquid spray and it is super strong. I only need one spray to make my whole room smell super yummy ^^ The scent is a peachy, rosy sent.. I understand it may be too much for some, but if you use one spray it should be all good :) I spray it on my pillows, and the scent lasts for hours. ^^ Will repurchase since I'm in love with this scent!

Farm Tomita Hand Cream
★★★☆☆

This is Farm Tomita Lavender hand cream my friend bought me from Hokkaido~ The lavender scent is amazing, but I am not crazy about the texture of the hand cream. It makes my hands super sticky and gross.. >< I think my Neutrogena lavender scented moisturizer is much better.. This hand cream is pretty expensive too; I think it's about 900 Yen. Will not get this one again! But I'm interested in their lavender soap! ^^

Shu Uemura Haul!!

2011-02-04T13:34:00.000-08:00

First of all, Happy Chinese New Year!! ^^

So, Yayy Shu Uemura haul! I'm so sad all the Shu Uemura counters closed in the US >< But at least I can still buy it online and whenever I go to Hong Kong! :)

So what did I get...?


Eyelash Curler Glow On Blush in M44 Glow On Blush in M55 Free Sample of Depsea Water (Lavender) Free Sample of Cleansing Oil

Really like this Depsea Water! Not crazy about the lavender scent but I got a full-sized bottle in Rose! :) Don't really know what's the point of this water but it leaves a cool, refreshing feeling on my face so I spray it on before putting on moisturizer to retain moisture!
★★★☆☆　


Really nice blushes!! Pigmented, finely powdered, and not chalky at all! This is the color M55, it's a orange color, but not as dark as the picture. It's more of a light-reddish orange! I'm wearing it right now! ^^ ★★★★★

Glow On Blush in M44 (peach)
One of my favorites right now!! A very dolly light peachy color! I don't have another color like this one. I thought it wouldn't show up at first, but I was wrong! But I have pretty light skin I guess! <3 This!! Perfect for daily look when I don't want to have super rosy cheeks for class LOL ^^
★★★★★

Shu Uemura's famous eyelash curler!
I used to use Anna Sui's eyelash curler, but I think this one is perfect! Anna Sui's crimp my eyelashes if I'm not careful! This one doesn't! But it does feel kind of flimsy..... OH well still gets the job done ^^
★★★★☆
-1 star for flimsiness!

Large 450mL bottle of cleansing beauty oil.. I don't think I'll be able to finish this.

Free 50mL samples of cleansing oil. This will last me a while! Need to finish
these before I start on the huge bottle ><

Giving this one to mommy

That's it!!! Ahhhh So broke now after this haul lol >< But I love this branddd!! Bring it back to the US!! hahhaa, I think the reason it's gone is because they want to expand more in China and Asia where it's more popular. They don't want to waste time with Americans who don't wanna buy it!^^;Plus the colors of this brand are more natural and subtle, and Americans like that super pigmented stuff from MAC ^^

Anyway, will buy again! There's always free samples/free shipping when you buy from http://www.shuuemura-usa.com/ :D

Rock & Republic Haul!!

2011-01-30T20:52:00.000-08:00

Rock & Republic haul woohoo! I wanted to try these out after hearing all the good reviews... My haul from Rock & Republic consisted of 6 eyeshadows plus one blush. All of this only cost me $60 from rockandrepublic.com. Got 50% off plus $25 off! :) Not bad....

Everything comes in a nice box.


The size of the blush is huge!!! Thicker than those air hockey pucks at arcades LOL

Contrived Blush.
The color is called "Immoral" It looks bright orange in the pan
but it looks a orange-coral on my face...:)

[L-R] Revenge, Lost, Love Rocks

[L-R] Corset, Ambition, Carat

[Top-Bottom] Love Rocks, Lost, Revenge

The eyeshadows are very pigmented and easy to blend! But I do think they are a bit overhyped... I would not buy them at the original price of $28/shadow and $40/blush!

My favorite colors are Revenge (deep purple) and Lost (grey-taupey color). Both are really smooth and not too shimmery! I use Corset (light pink) and Love Rocks (deep pink with gold shimmer) as blush! It works pretty well as blush! :) Ambition and Carat look the same (white with gold shimmer), but Ambition has more gold shimmer. I would not recommend getting both... I like Carat more as the gold shimmers are less subtle.

Overall, I think I will buy again providing there is a sale!!^_^

I need to stop!!!

2011-01-26T23:43:00.000-08:00

OMG, I really need to stop buying so much makeup, brushes, etc. I don't even use it a lot, it's more like I'm addicted and just can't stop. :( I bought 6 Rock & Republic eyeshadows and 1 blush (I fell into the trap.....) as well as 4 eye brushes from E.L.F. and 3 from Coastal Scents. WHAT's wrong with me? I'll post a more in-depth summary of the Rock & Republic products later (to be honest I think they're overhyped), but I'll write a few sentences about the brushes.

E.L.F. - Don't buy the cheap ones with the white handles. I know they were on sale for 50 cents each, but they totally hustle you on the shipping. Five bucks. Seriously? They just sent them to me in an envelope. Anyways, the brushes just wouldn't stop shedding, and they are scratchy on my eye. My right eyelid is all irritated and red now..:( But I put Hokkaido horse oil cream on it so it feels better now.

Coastal Scents: These were actually better! They don't shed as much, and the hairs are softer. I think I like these more. The company also didn't hustle me on shipping (it was less than two bucks for shipping :D) and they sent me a free sample of glitter..(not gonna use this lol).

To make a long story short, I don't think I'm ever buying cheap brushes again. Better to invest in good quality Shu Uemura, Bobbi Brown, or MAC brushes. *sigh* OH but funny thing is the 12-pc (I think) purple brush set I got from eBay is actually really good. It was super cheap too (less than twenty bucks for sure). The bristles are all purple (yay!) and made with real goat hair. They're super soft! :) Love those.^^

[Review] Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Body Moisturizer

2011-01-25T21:00:00.000-08:00

Haha, I'm going to talk about my current favorite lotion ;D Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula relaxing body moisturizer in the calming scent (purple bottle). I bought this in Hong Kong for around US$4 for 450mL(I had a HK$50 off coupon so it's around US$10). It's kind of pricy for a lotion I guess?

I'm pretty sure this isn't sold in the U.S..along with many other good things even though the brand is sold here>< It's a Korean made version that is exported to Hong Kong! The back is written in English and Korean.

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Relaxing Body Moisturizer calms and relaxes the body, while leaving it fully moisturized for 24 hours. The nourishing properties of Norwegian Formula moisturize the skin so that it feels softer and smoother. The innovative formula is enriched with a complex of natural extracts and calming and relaxing properties, thereby leaving skin fully relaxed and destressed.

Quickly calms and relaxes the skin

Provides 24-hours of moisturization

Destresses skin with soothing scent and lavender extracts

I love this because first of all, it smells sooo amazing! I love the scent of lavender! But I would understand if some people can't stand the smell. The scent is pretty mild that's why I like it. I can't stand super fragranced moisturizers:) I used to use Vaseline cocoa butter body lotion, but the formula for this is so much thicker and richer, yet not sticky or oily at all. Vaseline's formula is more watery. Neutrogena's is way more moisturizing; it really does keep me moisturized for the whole night (not sure about 24 hours as I end up washing it off XD) The lotion is also a pretty lavender color hehe ^^

I would want to repurchase this when I run out. I hope they start selling it in the US or else I would have to come back with a bottle every time I go to Hong Kong! Lame><

My favorite blushes ever and my HK haul!! ♥

2011-01-24T15:39:00.000-08:00

Hi! Let me introduce you to my favorite blushes ever!! ♥ They are the Jill Stuart Blush Blossom blushes that are immensely popular in Asia!! Since I was in HK, I couldn't refrain from buying two!;) They were I believe HK$340 each (around US$44). Quite steep for a blush, but it's completely worth it if you ask me since I can't get them in the US. I just love these!!

Cute packaging!

I bought these in two colors: 01 Romantic Sweet Pea (a pale shimmery baby pink) and 02 Sweet Mum (a orangey-peachy pink with gold shimmers). I really like both colors! But I usually wear 01 since I find it less shimmery for a everyday look ♥

01 Romantic Sweet Pea

02 Sweet Mum

Comes with a cute small retractable blush!

Now let's see the rest of my HK haul!XD First is the Shu Uemura Limited Collection palette! I bought this at the airport because the stores were sold out! There were two boxes left at the airport...score!


Shu Uemura Aya Takano Reindeer XXX Palette

The outside ^^ So cute!!


Wintery eye colors and a cute pinky blush! Loves it!

Makeup brushes and Nail Art :)
Sparkly handled brush and pink retractable brush from SASA.
They're super soft!!!

This is quite pigmented and nice!! A deep rusty orange:)

Tony Moly Green Tea Pack Love this!!
Smells so good and goes on with a cool feeling! Feels so good!


Revlon BB cream and KATE eyeshadow palette BB cream is a good color (light peach) but it's a bit drying...

Next up! The rest of my stuff....^^

Fasio Eyeshadow Palette in I-7 I love the dark purple!
Most Japanese makeup goes on quite sheer but I still love this!

Fasio Eyeshadow palette in BL-2 This came with a mascara!^^
It's super shimmery!!:)

Lavshuca Melting Eyes in BE-1
One of my favorite everyday shadows!
It's super soft and easy to blend

First post♥

2011-01-24T00:03:00.000-08:00

Helllooo friends!♥

Cheers to my brand-new blog where I will be sharing the many loves of my life! Here I am looking forward to blogging about yummy food, cosmetics (I have many crazy hauls and shopping sprees^^), things I love, and basically whatever I wanna talk about! Hehehehe...♪

I'm so excited! I hope to post every day! ;)
