Purple Look + Hauls

Note: It's actually 12:47PM now.. I wasn't able to publish this last night because blogger went on maintenance at around 02:30AM. :(

Hello Hello!! :) Its 2:13AM.. Yup, one of those days that I can't sleep.. I blame it on the Iced Cold White Chocolate Mocha that I chugged a while ago. :) I went to Orange County with Adrian to visit my brother in law and his wife, and guess what? I did an FOTD! Yay! :D Its been awhile since I did my last FOTD/EOTD so enjoy.. ahaha!

FOTD/EOTD


FACE:
MUFE HD Primer
Benefit "You Rebel" Lite
Dame Edna "What A Dame!" Beauty Powder

EYES:
Glamour Check e/s all over the crease
Lotusland e/s on the lid
Vanilla pigment as highlight
Backtrack liner
IPUM lashes

LIPS:
Moonflower l/s


MORE HAULS!
I did more damage at Orange County.. Well, not really because I didn't spend that much. I used my giftcard to buy some of these things :) So, that made me really happy! :D

This headband is really unique. The husband said I looked like a peacock/chicken. ahaha! But I think its really pretty and I got some compliments a while ago while wearing this. :)



Then the husband let me get another one of this because its just too great! Really nice for summer. I am not a fan of any MAC Powders (except for my HK Kouture Powder) but there's something in this powder that makes my skin smooth and soft.

I finally got this eyeshadow!! Yay!! This is "All That Glitters". I've been lemming it since I can remember :) So I'm glad they have this at the CCO!! You won't believe how many eyeshadows they have at Ontario! They have Electric Eel, Nocturnelle, Pink Venus, Sable, Soft Brown, Humid, Freshwater and so much more!

This eyeshadow called "Henna" is going back to the CCO! Why? Take a look at the second picture below this! OMG Totally the same as my "Mink and Sable" and "Sumptuous Olive" Ugh! Makes me so mad for buying this! I'll just exchange it for something else!


Then I went to MACYS to return the Clinique Eye Make Up Remover that I got a month ago. Its just not working. It won't even remove my eyeliner completely, leaving me with racoon eyes in the morning. I thought they discontinued the Cleansing Balm but she told me they have a few more left so I was happy I was able to get this and just paid $11 because of the returned product.

This is the review I made  Click the link ---> "Clinique Cleansing Balm" I know its lame because there's no pictures. I  mean what's a review without pictures? So I will redo it and this time with pictures of before and after :D So Stay tuned for that!

SEPHORA
Then I went to Sephora because I remember I still have $$$ left from the giftcard they gave me. My overall purchase was $60+ but I ended up paying only $12+.. How cool! hahaha! I love giftcards..

I got the Korres Yogurt Mask and I have it on today! I will do a review soon :) I'm so happy to finally get this! This is my 2nd Korres product. I'm so stoked! Haha!

I tried this MUFE Lifting Concealer at Sephora and fell in love with it. I must have it. Its priced for $22. Too much in my book. Good thing I have the giftcard or else I wouldn't get it. Haha.. I'll do a review soon. Hopefully it won't break me out!

..and this is a deluxe sample. I want to try Laura Mercier products.. but foundie is the last thing I wanna try since I do not use foundie no more... oh well! :p

EYESHADOWS!
I was trying to rearrange all the colors in my palette.. look how many looked alike! Haha..

Highlights and Golds..
Greens and Blues
Pinks and Purples


Blacks and Browns/Neutrals

I'm so happy about my entire eyeshadow collection. I don't have plans on becoming a make up artist but its just makes me happy when I get one new eyeshadow.. ahahah.

I'll see you guys next post :) Hope you guys a happy week! :)

Beauty Review: Korres Wild Rose Mask


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.

Images and Information credited to Sephora.com

Korres Wild Rose Mask is a brightening and Vitamin C Mask. It is suitable for any skin type and the effects will be visible right after use. It targets skin discolorations and promotes skin renewal, adding brightness and radiance to the skin.


It does not contain any of the following:
  • Parabens
  • Sulfates
  • Synthetic Dyes
  • Petro-Chemicals
  • Phthalates
  • GMO
  • Triclosan
Some of you know that Parabens can be irritating to the skin and can cause redness. Some studies says that it can also be connected to Breast cancer, although not yet proven. But its good to be on the safe side and to avoid having Parabens on your skincare products. Triclosan also was associated with the UK Cancer alert, also not proven to be that hazardous.

This product contains Wild Rose oil which is a natural source of Vitamin C, which helps aides in fine lines and imperfections.

PROS: It does brighten my face immediately after use! I love the smell and its very refreshing! I use this once a week and its been 3 weeks since I 1st use it, and I see that my scars are fading. Its a slow process though, but I'm happy that my acne scars has lightened a bit! It does not dry hard like any other mask that I've tried. It does not tighten my face, and its very easy to remove. It did not dry out my skin and you only need a small amount for the whole face.

In this picture, I only used a small amount.
You see, I still have my scars on my chin, but it did improved.

CONS: I guess the price? Haha. Nothing really. Some people said they are allergic to it. So use it at your own risk. Click for ingredients of the said product --> INGREDIENTS

OVERALL: I would definitely buy it again. I would also try the Korres Yogurt Mask and their other products! :)

An Update


Hello Everyone!!! Its been a while since I updated my blog. Its been eons ago since I read other people's blog and I miss you all...

SAN FRANCISCO



Last Week, I went to San Francisco but didn't have that much fun because of the rain.. I hated rain, I don't want to go out if its raining so we mostly stayed indoors and just spent time with our relatives there. I didn't shop, but its fine.

I have been very busy with school and work also. Finals is almost here so I gotta study my butt off to pass this class. I worked 16 hours last night and felt really horrible because I was awake the whole time I was in the hospital. No rest whatsoever.

I won the bet so I decided to treat myself and go to the CCO in Ontario. Didn't spend much so I'm happy I was able to control myself again..

MY CCO HAUL! - THE BET!
I love this Dame Edna Beauty Powder. It brightens up my face. I use it to top off my TM. I wish I can get a back up of this because its just so nice for the summer.


This Emanuel Ungaro BP is just a nice blush color. Its sheer, yes..but its buildable and just gives the right hint of blush.

And to add to my growing collection of eyeshadows are these eyeshadows from Emanuel Ungaro. They are very sheer which is nice for summer. 


I'M GONNA GET CHU BACK!!!
Yes yes, you guys have been so nice to me, showering/spoiling me with gifts and packages. I love you all. I will get you all back :) You'll see.. :)

This gift is from Wuzzyangel. She is so nice to give me some love from Hawaii.. Check her blog out! :) aww girl, you didn't have to do this. You are just too sweet! :) I will get you back soon.. ahahah! :) Thank You so much!!!!



This gift is from Melissa from Fabulous Thrifty. She is so nice to give me her Mario Badescu Whitening mask. I am excited to try it! Go check her blog out! She's awesome. :) Thank You so much girly for this wonderful surprise :)


Thank You so much again girls for being so nice and supportive. I love you all!!! :) I'll try to update more often..

Random Updates: 4

Currently here at Daly City.. waiting for the BIG FIGHT to start. I bet money on it, he (Pacquiao) better win.. lol.

We drove here Friday (3am) then arrive here almost noon because frequent "bathroom" stop overs.. ahaha.. Anyway, the weather here really sucks. Something about the rain makes me gloomy - almost depressed. I stayed indoors.. I have to start reading my school books. I have another big test on Tuesday and I havent even started reading those dreadful chapters yet.

Its freezing outside. We went to the malls and guess what.. I didn't buy ANYTHING. Yeah, not a single eyeshadow or lipstick caught my attention. I dunno.. something has changed. Its probably all the stressful events  that happened or its still happening in my life. *SIGH*

SELF CONTROL
I perfected self control I guess. Whenever I'm around make up/skin care products, I don't get too excited anymore. I used to. I used to buy something that I don't really need but just because I want it, I have to have it. But now, I was able to control myself. Whenever I see something I really really want, I now able to talk myself out of it. I ask myself..
"Do I really need it now?"
"Should I save my money for something that I really  need?"
"How many of these shades I own?"

from there.. I was able to put that thing back on the shelves. Sure regret comes after, but usually disappear after a few minutes. :)

Anyway, just giving you guys some update. Talk to you guys later :)

Questions Answered Part 2

Q and A

Q: Why do you still have to use disposable lip brushes when you are the only person using your lip products?
A: I work in the  medical field and often times I catch bacteria and whatnot that makes me sick.. I don't like to be putting my bacteria and virus on my lip products so I just use a disposable brush, so when I'm feeling better, I'm confident that there's no virus on all of my lip products. :p


Q: Where did you get those disposable brushes? I want one.
A: Sephora - just ask  the MUA if you can have some. or at MAC - if they are nice enough :P



Q: Did you get anything from the Rose Romance Collection?
A: No.. lol! I just want the Rose BP and when I tried them on earlier, they were too sheer for my taste so I skipped it. :) Plus I need gas money for San Francisco!


Q: When will you be at the Bay?
A: I will be there May 1st til May 3rd. Hopefully I'd get to meet you lovely ladies there! :D


Q: Will you swap again?
A: I will.. but only to my trusted friends here on blogger :) Its actually stressful for me right now to swap. I need money more than anything right now..


Q: Where did you get your Pink Storage for your make up?
A: I got it at Target. I noticed they don't have the pink one no more. I saw green and blue ones though :)


Q: Where do you work and what do you do?
A: I work in a State Hospital near where I live. I am a Psychiatric Technician. I work with criminally insane individuals. I work very closely with Psychiatrist and Psychologist. I give them report. I counsel people. I am good at counseling others - not to myself. ahaha!

That's it for now.. I hope I satisfied some curiosities :) I don't mind the questions.. :)
Oh yes, I skipped the Rose Romance Collection. I'm glad it was too sheer for my taste or else I would have been tempted like a vampire to a fresh blood. :p I need money  because we will be driving to San Francisco this weekend and gas + food + hotel cost so much! Pacquiao better win or I'll lose $30! hahaha!


I also cooked today! Surprised? Even Adrian was! I cooked some Chicken Soup (Tinola). Its chicken and chayote (sayote) then I put some spinach in it and chicken broth to add some flavors. :)


I had been craving for green mangoes since Kasumi and I talked on twitter so my co-worker got me some.. YUMMY! Its so sour but I love it :)

That's it for now.. I hope you guys a beautiful Monday tomorrow. :) G'nite!

Sephora Mini Haul


My Sephora Order has come! YAY! So quick!! :) I was excited :D Adrian did not let me know right away that my package has arrived. He surprised me when I got off from work. :p


KORRES WILD ROSE/BRIGHTENING MASK
I wanted a mask that will brighten up my skin so I bought this.. will review it after couple of use. I'm so excited to try this :) I was just disappointed about how small the jar is :( For the price, I was actually expecting a bigger jar.

Dior Addict Lipcolor in Fantasy Pink
Its a really cute pink! I love it.. although its very sheer

That's it.. I did not spend a penny because I used my %50 giftcard. I'm so happy.. But I still want to go to the mall because of the A Rose Romance Collection. Are you guys getting anything from that collection? I want the rose MSF. Well, I need to rest now.. :) G'nite!
