My Make Up Storage and Palette

Hi ladies (and gents)! I wasn't able to go to Orange County. Instead we went to church early morning then hit Ontario Mills Mall to see if they have anything new at CCO. They still have some Fafi's and Heatherettes so you gals who have been wanting to get them should visit CCO at Ontario Mills now because they sell like hot pancakes! The Fafi "Hipness" Blush were all SOLD OUT! :/ Good thing I got one last week. I got 2 lipgloss. I took pictures of em but yeah I can't upload them anyway. :( I got Fafi "Cult Fave" Lipglass and "Power Supply" Plushglass. I dunno what's the difference and why the Plushglass are more expensive than the lipglass. Is it better?

Anyway, I decided to repost my "Designing your Make Up Storage" entry. I actually posted them on my old bloggie but since some of you ladies have not seen them yet, why not repost it. Haha. Totally genius to repost some old entries since I don't have new pictures to show you guys. lol. Forgive me.

Anyway, this is what I did on my Coastalscents Palette. I got this idea from Lurve. Then it inspired me to design my Make Up Storage. :) It was very fun doing this.

The Materials I used:
- Scrapbook papers from Michael's craft store (ranges from $59cents to $2.99 - depends on the texture of the paper.)
- Glue which is also from Michael's craft Store. I believe this is $1.99 and this glue can be used on all types of materials such as wood, paper, glass etc.
- Scissors of course
- Make up Palette
- Make up Storage


I just cut these scrapbook papers to fit in my Steralite Organizers and voila! Here's what it looks like: It looks neat and organized (even though the inside its not! haha) And I don't have enough make up to fill in these drawers so I don't think I'll be getting another drawer. :) I'm pretty much happy and content with my organizers.


SO this pretty much ends my entry. Sorry again for not posting new pictures. :) But hopefully I'll get my lappy fixed soon. (I found out that my old lappy has 2 years warranty! Yay) But I'm still lemming for that MACbook :) Byee ladies! G'nite!

My Contest Entry

OMGoodness! I wasn't able to check my blog yesterday because I worked 16 hours again last night. Why am I working too much? Haha! I am actually working for time so I can have a month vacation next year. They gave me the month of January which is my birthday month, and its almost January!! So I gotta work for more time :D 8 hours overtime is equal to 12 hours so I need like 10-12 overtimes so I can have a month off :D I'm excited! Haha!

Tomorrow, If I wake up early, I might go to Orange County and go to some Oriental Markets there. Any ideas where I can get a Ly-na Pearl Cream there? and some Japanese Magazines? :D I really want those goodies! :D

Oh btw, I'm planning to design the interior of my car. I'm thinking of Monokuro Boo as my theme. Haha. I just love those piggies :) What do you guys think? :D


And oh, my co-worker was trying to convince me to buy his Shar Pei. OMG! Only for $200. It was really tempting but I didn't get it. :( Puppies are not allowed where I live and I couldn't possible take care of her because I go to work and sometimes won't come home til the next day :(
Look how cute a Shar Pei is. Btw, Its a Chinese Breed kind of dog. Ahhh! I really really want it!! She looks adorable with all those wrinkles on her face. I just wanna cuddle her :(

And now, for the real purpose of this entry, I joined Ms. Mimi/Beauty is Androgynous Contest. I'm so excited because I really love wearing Neutral looks. Anyway, this pictures that I am about to post are taken like 2 weeks ago because as all of you know, I cannot upload my pictures on this laptop because my Memory Stick/Card Slot is not compatible with this laptop. I hope my entry will still be considered since I only used 3 products. Yup, 3 products! Yay! The Contest Challege was to create a neutral look using only 3 products.

In these pictures, I am wearing:
- Gray Contacts (which is not counted as 1 product)
- Softlips Lipbalm (which is also not counted as 1 product)
- Benefit "That Gal" Brightening Primer (Counted as 1 product)
- L'oreal Voluminous Mascara (Counted as 1 product)
- L'oreal Voluminous Eyeliner (Counted as 1 product)

That is equal to 3 products used. :D If I were to add another product on this look, I will add a little bit of lipgloss and I'm ready to go :D


Yay! I love joining contest. :D I was going to join Kimberly Tia's blog, but I can't post/upload pictures!! Ahh! :( Hope you guys have a nice day! :D G'nite! :D

Passion of Red

The new MAC Collection "HOLIDAY RED SHE SAID" has finally released! To be honest, I'm not that excited on this collection. I don't know, Maybe because the colors can be easily dupable, and yeah I don't have the means to be spending a lot now since I want a new lappy and my old lappy still needs to get fixed.

I'm thinking of getting the Devoted Poppy: 6 Classic Eyes for $38.00. But I still need to swatch them to make sure if I really want to spend $38 for this palette.
I also want their brushes but can't find the justification to spend $49.50 for these brushes when I can find some drugstore brushes that are comparable to this. Sigh. The Adoring Carmine which is a lipstick/lipgloss set looks very cute but again, I need to swatch them and try them on before I buy them.

So what you guys going to buy? :)

About work, ah! Work is so stressful! I know I say this a lot but its true. Dealing with mental patients are like baby sitting 2-5 year old kids. Running around with their foods, throwing tantrums like crazy. Disobeying rules and a lot more. Its mentally draining. :/ And remember that girl I talked about on one of my post? Why do I always bump into her? I mean I am now avoiding her since I found out that she told some of our co-workers that she doesn't like me, but everyday I always bump into her! Sometimes we have the same groups and it irritates me because I tried saying hi to her but she ignored me. I looked at her and she looked away. I mean how childish can she be? To think she's already 25 years old! She's acting like one of my patients. LOL. I seriously don't know why she got mad. I want to confront her but she keeps on avoiding me. Oh well. Frienemies. Gotta hate them. Haha!

I gotta sleep now. Work again tomorrow. :)

Learn Chinese

Hi guys! How's everyone's weekend? :) Today (Monday - Oct 21) is my "Monday" at work and it was so busy. They floated me to another unit at our hospital and it was very hectic. And I really felt sick and dizzy. I don't have plans to work 16 hours/day again this week. Maybe next week. I need rest. Also, I haven't purchase a laptop yet because I found out that my PC has 2 years warranty! Yay! So, we're trying to have it fixed asap so I can update this blog with new pictures. I took lots of pictures this week but wasn't able to upload them because this PC (My bro-in-law's) is not compatible with my SD card :( I guess for the meantime, I can do beauty reviews while I wait for my PC to get fixed. But I still want that MACbook :(

Ok, I've been so sad lately and can you believe I did not shop when we went to South Coast, The Block, Ontario Mills, Glendale Galleria this weekend? I only bought some fake eyelashes at Little Tokyo and a eyelash curler at Marukai Market. I wasn't in the mood to shop. Although I want a new bag and a new laptop and some new outerwears. Sigh. Cold weather sometimes makes me sad..

My friend sent me something and I just find it funny. At least there's something that made me laugh today. Well, there's also the husband who always makes me smile. This is the thing my friend sent me: LOL!

Until next time! :)

Beauty Review: Benefit Dear John Moisturizer

NOTE: Try this product at your own risk. If it works for me, it does not mean it will work for you too. Everyone has different types of skin. My skin consists of dry - combination - sensitive type of skin.

Image credited to: Benefitcosmetics.com

Benefit Dear John Moisturizer is a moisturizer made for those people who has dry skin. It is very creamy and soft when applied to skin. It can be purchased at Benefitcosmetics.com, Benefit Counter, Sephora.com, Sephora Store, and now at Ulta. Price: $32.00



Product Description from Benefitcosmetics.com
Loaded with active ingredients, this lustrous face cream is like a 'moisture magnet' for your skin. Use the cream day or night to moisturize and put lustre back into your complexion. Product details

• 60 ml / 2 US fl oz
• More info: sodium hyaluronate moisturizes skin and locks in moisture; vitamin E protects and strengthens skin; marshmallow root is a one-a-day vitamin for your skin.

PROS: My skin was very dry, flaky, and was super itchy when its dry. Thanks to this moisturizer, it helped my dry skin to be soft smooth. It smellls so good too! Whenever I use this at night, the husband always gives me compliment on how he loves the smell of my face. :) It did not break me out so that's a good. When I use this at night, I slather a little bit more and when I wake up in the morning, I notice the difference. It looks like I'm glowing. No need to put a foundation :) It has a very thick consistency so a little goes a long way. A really must have for dry skins out there.

CONS: The price is too much. Compare to my Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer, this moisturizer is overly priced. I also don't know how it will work on oily skins since this moisturizer has very thick consistency and can be greasy looking so I don't recommend this using in the morning. It also received only 66% at Makeupalley.com which is a low rating because some claimed that it broke them out and I noticed that those people who claimed that this moisturizer broke them out were the people who has oily skins.

OVERALL: I love this product! It does its job and especially now that its almost winter, I need a good cream that will fight the dryness of my skin, and I find this moisturizer very effective. If you want to try it, I suggest to get a sample 1st at any Sephora counter or Benefit counter before you purchase the full size. That's what I did. I got 3 little jar samples 1st before I decided I want the full size jar.

I hope this review helps you guys and I'm sorry I can't post a picture of me wearing this moisturizer because my PC is still not working. :( I am currently using my brother-in-law's PC. He's kind enough to let me borrow this til my PC gets fixed or whenever I buy a new one. Also I've been wanting to show you guys my haul from Little Tokyo but then again, this PC does not have a card slot so I can't save the photos in this PC. Sucks :( Hope you guys have a good night!

Which One?

Ok, my laptop is still not working. :( I'm here at Orange County right now, borrowed my sis-in-law's lappy. I need a new one. Sigh. I'm still sick as fck! :/ My tooth is still hurting :( I still can't eat and I continue to lose some more weight. Argh! We actually went to this place called O-bar at Cerritos and yeah I drank some..dance some.. haha! So not me. That's what alcohol does to me. I get on my groove. LOL. Even the husband who do not dance, was dancing with me. Haha! Ok, I did not drink a lot but the husband did. He was laughing the whole time we were driving home. Oh, we have a designated driver so no worries :p I'll post some pictures next time :)

Ok, back to my lappy.. I can't decided whether to buy a PC or a MACBOOK. I need suggestions and CONS and PROS of both laptops. :/

The new MACBOOK looks promising :) I heard great reviews about MACBOOKS but it looks complicated because I have been a PC user eversince I can type. lol. I have my ITOUCH and I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do. LOL. I know, I'm soooo clueless. :P


If I'll get another PC, I will probably get this SONY VIAO. It looks pretty in pink. Haha.
Ahhh.. I can't decide :( If I buy a new lappy, no more make up for awhile :(
