My Answers

1. What’s one beauty product you could not live without?

Lip balm, because dried, cracked, bleeding lips is not the deal. Does that count as a beauty product? If not, my second choice would be liquid eyeliner. Liquid eyeliner can change the eye shape, look and style with just a few simple stroke. On days when I am super lazy and need to run out somewhere, liquid eyeliner is my best friend, and only takes no more than three minutes to create yet makes the biggest difference.

2. How long does it take you to apply your makeup?

When I go all out, like for special occasions, I take about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. For simple everyday look, I take about twenty to thirty minutes; Ten, fifteen minutes for lazy makeup days. So how long I take really varies on what's going on that day.

3. When and why did you start blogging?

My first ever post went up December 12th of last year, called Winter Face Routine & Products Used. At first, I started blogging because I wanted to share with others my experience or any know-hows; sharing is caring. <3 As time progress, my blog became somewhat of my diary...well, more like a journal. It's a place where I can vent and share my inner most feelings that I don't usually share with my family and friends. I'm the type of person who doesn't share my feelings with anyone close because I feel like I'm being a burden to them. So this blog is where I vent and you guys are my listeners. Other than that, my blog is a place where I share everything I know, whether about beauty or music or Korean stuff.

Although my blog will celebrate its first birthday soon, I am not yet at 100 followers and my best views per day is only at 120 but I appreciate each and every one of you. To those who are following me, I thank you very much for being interested in anything I have to say. For those who are visitors, I thank you for dropping by and browsing. I will work harder from here on out to bring you guys more interesting topics and keeping it constant. Thank you!

4. Do you prefer using drugstore makeup or high end makeup?

Drug store all the way! I have the mentality that makeup is somewhat of a waste. Sometimes, I wear my makeup for no more than three, four hours before stripping it off. I don't want to waste hundreds on products that will not last. This is not to say that i don't splurge on makeup, because I totally do. If you're a regular on my blog, you know that I do not wear high end products on a daily basis. I only whip 'em out for special occasions. Drug store brands all day, everyday for me.

5. Do you have any pets?

Yes I do; I currently have two dogs, a desert tortoise, a koi pound in the backyard with 30+ kois and an aquarium in the house with about 10-15 various types of fish.

6. What’s one of your best memories?

I would have to say any family vacation is a "best memory" to me. I am a BIG family person and anytime I get to spend with them, having fun, I think are the best moments in life. The simplest of things in life makes me happy.

7. What’s your main aim in life?

To do my best at everything I do, whether it is at school, work, blogging, being a daughter, sister, girlfriend, wife, mom, grandma, aunt, friend, co-worker. I stride to put in 110% effort. Letting my loved ones down and giving up is not my style. 8-)

8. If you had to live off one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Dumpling. No. Ramen? No, no, make that white rice. I can eat white rice for the rest of my life. Being Asian, it has been at least one meal of mine everyday for the past 24 years. Not only can I eat it as plain rice,  but I can also make porridge and fried rice out of it. Handy.

9. Who’s your favorite blogger at the minute?

bubzbeauty, emilynoel83, frmheadtohead

I follow many, many, maaaaaany blogs, but these three holds a special place in my heart. Them and I go waaaay back, back to before I started makeup. They're so humble, inspirational and actually are my role models I'd wish to become. I wish to meet them someday.

10. What’s your favorite step of doing your makeup?

The finishing step. LOL. If that doesn't count then it's applying blush. Maybe it's because of that smile we all do when applying blush to the apples of our cheeks, but I find it as my favorite step. Different shades for different feels.

11. Who is your favorite celebrity? 

top: Ariel Lin, Tiffany Hsu, Niki Chow
bottom: Myolie Wu, Nishiuchi Mariya, Bae Suzy

Roy Qiu, Bosco Wong, Haruma Miura, Yoo Seung Ho

This. I can't even... Haha. This is the hardest question out of the eleven. I try not to have any favorites when it comes to celebrities. There's just too many of them and if I were to favorite anyone, I will only limit myself to that celebrity; therefore I try to stay unbiased as possible. I have however, been watching more Asian dramas than anything so... Haha.
