Today's Make Up: Green, Green, Greeeeen

Happy St. Patrick's Day all!! Did y'all remember to get your green on? Hopefully you did or you've probably been pinched all day.

Soooo kinda off topic but this is like day 3 since I've come down with the stomach flu, NOT FUN! So basically I sported green eyes to visit the various doctors today. LOL. I'm glad the nurses appreciated my spirit.

I'll just list off the products I used today and keep it short. Having TOM visit along with the tummy flu is NOT the least bit fun.. :( I just wanna lay flat on my tummy all day and binge on Netflix. Can't I??? :'(

Today’s Make Up: Sea Sprite

Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing well this terrific Tuesday. Yeah.. Can you believe that? We're three days from the weekend, but don't blink or it will surely pop up out of no where. It's like the older you get, the faster time seems to go by. I remember when I was in elementary school, a day could NOT drag by any slower. Tsk tsk...

Arizona has a 60% chance of rain today, and not just rain but thunderstorm with high winds and all that good stuff. At the moment though, no more rain, just very, very cloudy skies, dark clouds and very humid. I really shouldn't go anywhere today but I dreamt of my Grandma last night. Maybe she's lonely out there by herself... So I decided to go visit her today. I spent some time out there just talking to her, filling her in on what's happening. I think she's happy there, resting next to her husband. She's resting in peace now. I miss her and not a day goes by that I don't think about her; I just can't believe it's been 6 months already.

I did some lazy makeup today since I didn't really want to do full out makeup. I didn't want my efforts to go to waste if I were to be caught in the rain. I haven't used any of my Maybelline Eye Studio quads in the longest while so I thought I should give them a go today. I wanted something bright and whilst going through my drawers, Sea Sprite caught my eyes.

Today's Make Up: The "V.I.Pink" In The "Country Woods"

Well guys... We made it to Friday, alive, or barely. :D Haha. How are y'all doing today?

A quick make up session earlier today before I ran some errands throughout the day. Finally back home for a bit before I leave again, giving me some time to post about today's make up. Again, not much going on today as I didn't put on much. My face needs to breathe for another day because tomorrow is another important dinner and a full face of makeup will be necessary. Buuuut, that is tomorrow.

Simple bare face, natural defined eyes and lilac lips is the way to go today.

Today's Make Up: "Champagne" at the "Techno"

Annnnnnd it is yet another Saturday! How are my lovely readers doing on this fine weekend day?

A quick makeup post today of everything I have on the face. Another busy, busy day in this household. So makeup was a mixture of lazy and a little bit of glaaaaaamorous. :D

Today's Make Up: "Twinkle" "Oyster", Twinkle

Hi guys. We are now half way through the first Wednesday of 2015... Already. :/ There goes the time, flying by again. Almost too quickly.

But anyways, another day, another makeup mess, albeit the mess isn't even big enough to be a mess. But you get the drift. :P Had a few errands to run so kinda just threw a few products on the face.

I have neglected my Wet N Wild Singles for way too long. I own probably 5 or 6 Singles but as you can see, I hardly ever use them. That's my problem, I have way too many products but I tend to only use the ones I remember and would use that over and over again. Yet I continue to buy more... SMH at myself.

Today's Make Up: Beam of Blush

Hello, hello all and happy Friday. :) Hope you are all enjoying this New Year's break. Is all going well?

I am finally getting out of the house today. Going to wander the malls and shops with the bro and cousins. It's bonding time for all of us before we go back to school. So it was nice seeing all of them. But man! I would rather stay in today with a good book, face mask and a mug of hot cocoa today. I thought my face froze and fell off at some point. SO COLD!

Cold weather seriously just makes me into a snail. I procrastinate majority of the time and when I get to the task, I am just super slow at it. I usually look forward to my makeup session but nowadays, I just wanna be somewhere warm and cozy.

The six products on this face today because I am super lazy yet decided to not go "bare faced" in public.

Today's Make Up: 2015 New Year

New Year's Eve greetings to you all!! By the time this is posted, some part of the world is already 2015. Regardless of what day it might be, this will be the last post of 2014 for me. Bitter sweet that 2014 is coming to an end.

So many things have happened in 2014, happy things, sad things, tragic... It's life. I spent 2014 being a 24 year old. Although I would not change my life, I would like to see change in 2015. I'll be a 25 year old, hoping to find love, be successful in my career, with better luck. I also met a few people that quickly became great friends with and one specific person whom I have become inseparable with. I hope that it'll work out and we end up being an item in 2015. :)

Mentioned in yesterday's post, my paternal grandmother passed away two nights ago and my heart have been in pain ever since. We weren't close in distance because she was in Vietnam and I in the U.S. but we didn't allow the ocean to separate us. I want to cry and just let it all out but in the midst of it all, my Daddy did lose his Mother also. My Father, being the Asian man that he is, isn't showing that he is sad or upset but it's unspoken, we all know that he is hurting deep down. He keeps telling us that Grandma would not want us to be upset and sulking over her death. She is now in a better place, no longer suffering. I was not feeling the New Year's Eve at all and wanted to skip out on the family gathering later tonight but Daddy insist that we all go and have fun. Even though I am not content with this I will do this for my Daddy.

Tonight will not be our usual family gathering but more of a New Year's party. Many family friends and acquaintances will be there so it's not like I am BS my makeup tonight. LOL. When I think of New Years, glitter and sparkles usually comes to mind immediately. Lots and lots of glitter. So that is exactly what I have packed on my eyes tonight.

Today's Make Up: "Strawberry Milk" Flavored "Cotton Candy"

Hello Friday everyone!!!! How are you all doing?? Are we all recovered from the hectic Christmas day? LOL.

I am very blessed to have family that totally can read my mind. Haha. We all went out to dim sum this morning. Never gonna complain about having dim sum, especially with these crazy people I call family. :P Love them to bits and pieces... Even though they are so loud. Typical Asians.

After dim sum, we actually went post Christmas shopping and just wandered everywhere really. No matter doing what, I just love spending time with them. There seriously needs to be more holidays when everyone is off and can get together. Not enough, ever.

The makeup mess today includes a few old faves and some new products. I'll use this (not so) new mascara and let y'all know how it works on my thick and heavy lashes.

Today's Make Up: Ambrosia

Hello all, we meet again on yet another Wednesday. How are you all doing? Well I am hoping. Doing pretty well on my end, just busy, which is good. Holiday shopping has officially begun for me!! What an exciting time of year don't you think so?? After all the presents are bought or made, time for the fun part, gettin' crafty with wrappings. LOL. I don't know about y'all, but I sure do enjoy wrapping gifts.

I love how the holiday decorations are up and music blaring everywhere I go. Starbucks, donut shops, other coffee shops and even fast food restaurants offering some sort of Peppermint drink. Ahhh, definitely favorite time of the year. :) Even though it is freezing cold, my heart is all warm and fuzzy. Haha. Wishing I have someone special to share these moments with; another year celebrating it alone... But it's okay. Happy thoughts, joyous thoughts. :D

Brother is officially done with this semester so we will spend much of our time together. Yay for sibling bonding time! Of course we started our day with lunch then started the shopping. Lunch is needed.

I was in yet another lazy mood today, surprise, surprise. LOL. The cold is the enemy and my bed is heaven. Warm bed of clouds win every time. Every. Time. I wake up when the alarm goes off but cannot bring myself to brave the cold so I lay there until it is way too late to even get ready. Haha... Hence the lazy makeup again. As a beauty blogger, this is a big no. no. :/ But yes, barely anything on the face or eyes and nude lips to go with it. Going for natural y'all.

I could not sleep last night so the dark circles under them eyes.. Nothing a few dab of concealer cannot fix. I had some instant noodle last night, leaving my face a bit swollen this morning. Fear not! Bronzer  and highlight to the rescue!! A little contour here and sculpting there, some highlighting here and there and viola!

On the eyes, I used Eyetini Cream Shadow all over my lids for a little color. Then I lined and tight lined my eyes with Perversion. Added a little pop of Champagne on my lower lash line before coating my lashes with mascara.

For my nude lips, I first applied Stainiac for that red tint in my inner lips before applying Forever Nude all over my lips as I would with any other lipstick.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Y'all enjoy the rest of your day now. Please come back soon! :)

Tuesday greetings y'all!! Hope you're all having a fine day. Wish I could say the same... :/ It's nothing bad really, I've just spent a majority of my day at Urgent Care. I had to take my cousin, she wasn't feeling too well and her parents are busy and had asked me to take her. I don't mind really, just wished I wasn't so ill prepared. Haha. I literally rushed out of the house in 3 minutes, not enough time to grab everything I needed. I would've probably forgot my head if it weren't attached to my body. :D

I was able to apply a few things to make myself look more awake. Because giiirl, I looked like the walking dead this morning. I would have definitely scared the living daylights out of someone. Haha.

Not even sure if this even qualifies as makeup but nonetheless, on the face today!

Besides moisturizer, there is absolutely nothing on my face today, not even concealer. Dun dun! No, my skin isn't at its best right now but I've learned to embrace my skin and appearance anyway it is in. Yes, normally I would use concealer to conceal certain pimples or discoloration but today was a serious emergency. That giant red pimple on my forehead? Not a problem.

I did however, invest some time on my brows. Since everything was going to be bare, I might as well make my brows full to attract the eyes away from certain areas. My brows are naturally thick so there was not much to do but fill in. I do, however, have even brows; my left brow is the problematic one. UGH! It takes forever to even it out with the right one.

On my eyes, also nothing much at all. I thinly lined my eyes with a liquid liner and carefully extended that out from my outer corner to make my eyes look bigger. Nothing too thick or bold because this is supposed to pass off as being natural. I also applied a pearly shadow on 2/3 of my lower lash line to give it the doe eye effect, further making it bigger. Then I curled my lashed and mascara; almost didn't have time for this step.

I applied a couple coats of Stainiac and then applied the Lip Butter on top. In two steps, I then have color to my lips and moisture that will last me forever.

Thank you for dropping by and thanks for reading. Y'all enjoy the rest of your day now. Please come back soon! :)

SONG OF THE DAY/MOMENT

Today's Make Up: "Charmed" With A "Heart Of Gold"

Hello Saturday my lovelies!! Hope all is well. :D I hope you're all enjoying your weekend by far. I, myself am having one fattening and nonproductive day by far, which simply put, am having a fantastic Saturday! LOL.

I spent the majority of my noon/afternoon having dim sum with the fam. The food is so delicious I am beyond stuffed... :S Yet with the reminder of the food makes me wanna keep stuffing myself. Haha. The dilemma. I can't run today either because I am needless to say super behind on my work today. Nothing planned has even been touched yet and I guess the tree isn't gonna go up on it's own. After I post this, is definitely tree time!... After I make myself a nice cup of hot cocoa to warm my soul.

On the face today is light face makeup, bronzey-nude eyes and natural pink lips. Sometimes, naturally simple is more. :)

Lots of ELFs on the face today from tinted moisturizer to setting powder and even blush. I promise I didn't plan it ahead, it was a, pick and choose as we go. LOL. I didn't really need that much coverage on the face today so I opted for a tinted moisturizer instead. This ELF moisturizer held up just fine for the few hours that I did need it to stay on. The humidity is still lingering and the dim sum we were at was so crowded and stuff I thought my face was gonna melt off. Thank goodness it didn't. Tickled Pink is a very natural pink, perfect for fair skin as myself.

Went all bronze and gold on the eyes today. Going through my makeup drawers this morning, this quad caught my eyes; the gold and bronze seemed too beautiful to pass up. I'm not sure why I only have one of these quad but I need more! The formula is amazing! No fall outs and pigmented, my only slight problem with it is that it may be a little too dry. Besides that...

Creamy pink pouters today. I was actually complimented about my lips several times today. Shade is called Charmed by BH Cosmetics. This lipstick glided on with ease, so creamy and pigmented. It did not last me through the meal but I did not expect it to. This lipstick did not claim to be long wearing or or long lasting, it is a Creme Luxe and creamy twas.

Alllllrighty, I am off to erect my holiday tree. This will not take all day... LOL. I truly do enjoy this time of year though, it makes my heart all warm and tingly even though it is freaken cold out.

Have a great weekend y'all and enjoy the rest of your Saturday. Thanks you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon. :)

Today's Make Up: Make It "Smoky" With A Side Of "Sheer Red"

Friday greetings y'all and happy weekend!! How are all you lovelies doing this fine Friday? This week seemed to have flown past like a gust of wind, but I'm not complaining though, the weekend is always welcomed here. LOL.

Imma be spending this weekend mostly at home, getting the tree and decorations up. I am actually super late this year, last year and the many years before that, the tree went up at the latest, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I have no idea what happened this year, got older I guess... :/ Hahaha. But yeah, tree will go up, decorations will be hung while I sip on hot cocoa, blasting Christmas carols. LOL. 'Tis the season.

Roamed the wet and humid streets today with the brother. Sibling bonding time, hooray!! Weather is still gloomy as ever, no rain though, which is a slight disappointment to me. On days like this, I tend to sport bold lips to compensate for the dreary weather. Today, I have on luscious red lips, paired with purple smoky eyes.

Nothing special on the face today because I usually do not wear much face makeup on humid days. Humidity alone makes me want to tear my skin off, wearing a thick face of makeup is just unimaginable. So just some creamy concealer and a hydrating BB Cream. True Plum is a berry-plum matte-ish blush. Love it to bits.

I was in an adventurous mood this morning, so I created a purple smoky eyes, something I usually do not wear. The purple shades on this palette is just gorgeous. I actually have a whole post about this palette with swatches if you're interested. SMOKY PALETTE

Y'all enjoy the rest of your day now. Thanks for visiting and thank you for reading. Please come back soon! :)

Today's Make Up: Black Friday Ready Makeup

Although I am all about being grateful and giving thanks everyday and not just one day out of the year, it is however Thanksgiving Day. And what do we do on Thanksgiving Day besides eating to our heats' desire without feeling guilty? Haha. Yep, give thanks and be thankful.

This Thanksgiving, like all the others before, I am grateful for my family, my friends, my home, my life, being alive and healthy but this year, unlike others, I am thankful for you guys. All of you. :) I started my blog last December so this is the first Thanksgiving I am celebrating with y'all.

I'd like to take a moment to thank y'all whether you're a follower, a regular visitor or even a wanderer that happens to stumble upon my page. Whoever that takes their time to read what I have to say, I'd like to thank.  Each views means a whole lot to me because I know that someone, somewhere is reading what I say. That alone, means so much to me. So thank you!!

But anyways, even though it is Thanksgiving today, the family will not be having our dinner today. Yeah... I blame retail. :/ They're one upping one another and opening earlier and earlier, as early as 5 PM in my area. And of course, the sales are too sweet to pass up so my aunts are all going crazy. So we all agreed, albeit not happily, to move dinner until tomorrow night so they can go get their shops on today and tomorrow morning. There's no point in me just waiting around at home ya know... Imma be joining them, or rather, embark on my own journey. LOL.

Makeup today is long wearing and budge free, in other words, Black Friday ready makeup. ;)

LIPS

Maybelline Baby Lips Crystal in Mirrored Mauve

I chose concealers that will not dry my skin out bu midnight. It will be one long night so I applied Brightening Peach to my under eyes to assure that I will look refreshed throughout the night. I mixed a bit of BB Cream and long lasting foundation to give me coverage without wearing too thick of face makeup. I also stayed away from products that has shine, glow or shimmer in risking looking like an oily disco ball by the end of the night. I used Instain as my blush of choice because I know this blush will not budge on me. Just a little will go a loooong way.

Eyes are kept as simple as can be. First with a primer to ensure no creasing and/or fading until I decide to remove it tomorrow morning. Then I swept Sin all over my eyelids, keeping the edges clean from corner to corner. Next I used Perversion to tight line my waterline and gave it a little flick at the outer corner. Then I used Champagne Toast to rim my entire lower lash line to create a wide eyed, awake illusion. This will definitely come in handy later tonight. Lastly I gave my lashes a good curl and coated them in mascara.

After giving my lips a good scrubba dub dub, I applied a moisturizing lip balm. Then I applied two coats of Pink Juice, allowing it to dry before topping off with Mirrored Mauve.

Wearing makeup for 24-ish hours can really take a toll on my skin. So to ensure that my face retain its moisture and not gets the life sucked outta em, I brought along a travel sized can of Avene Thermal Spring Water.

I wish everyone of you a Happy Thanksgiving. Spend it with your loved ones and make great memories. Please enjoy your weekend and be safe!

As always, thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon. :)

Today's Make Up: I Want Candy!

Hiiiiiiiii guuuuys!! D-2 until Thanksgiving and I am in hyper mode running my butt off to make way for the food coma that's to come. :D

The roads and stores were packed today... already! I cannot imagine how it will be tomorrow, yet tomorrow, I'll have to make a final trip to the store to buy what's left on the list that is yet to be composed by my mom and aunt. :/ I will have a FANTASTIC time tomorrow trying to navigate my way through the stores and try not to curse too much while driving. Haha.

I took another trip to the airport today to pick up the last of the family friends that will be joining us for Thanksgiving this year. While we were out anyways, we decided to finish up the home shopping for their house. I usually don't like to stereotype, but I get why they say that Canadians are unnecessarily well mannered and polite. LOL. These guys might just be the most well mannered men I have ever seen in my life. 

Annnnnyways, on the face today are the semi-mess below. TOM is currently visiting so my face is exploding with zits... those nasty, disgusting unwanted zits. So I am trying to keep my face makeup as light as possible.

Today's Make Up: Fairytale

Happy, happy, happy Saturday everyone! How are y'all doing this fine Saturday? I am doing well, besides the fact that my fingers might be a little stiff and frozen. Haha. My poor phalanges are taking the abuse whilst the rest of me are bundled up. Maybe it's just me, but my hands and feet are usually the first body parts to be cold, and the last to be warmed up. It takes forever to warm them up, which is frustrating. Cold feet is no laughing matter. LOL. 

Although it is Saturday, no family gathering today. We are saving that for next week. As for this week, we all have our own ish to do. For me, I have to take those new Arizona residents around so they can pick up things for for their house to make it homely. I usually like to spend my weekend lounging around being lazy but it is quite nice to be productive on the weekend. Let's not make it a habit though. :P

The mess below are products on the face today. My makeup nowadays are very similar day to day. I've been too lazy to be experimental... I know that's bad to say. I did however, messed around with the eye makeup today using a palette that has not seen light since a while ago. Haha.

LIPS
the Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen
Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Sweet Pink

Again with the luminous bare face. Ugh!! It is too easy to wear that I keep going back to it. It looks so freaken naturally beautiful. I must say, this L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing primer is perfect for this exact look. It gives off the most subtle glow without making me look too oily or too shiny. I am still in a very berry mood and did not hesitate to show that on my cheeks.

I did a simple smoky with this Covergirl palette. These new palettes cannot even compare to the old ones Covergirl used to have. You know those blue package ones? Even though they claimed that the formula didn't change, I find that hard to believe. The old ones applied like butter whereas the new ones are more dry and sometimes flaky. I also found this new palette less pigmented than the old ones. And no, this isn't the first time I used this palette... There's a reason why I haven't used it when I have so many other options to choose from. LOL.

My very berry mood did not extend to my lips today as I wanted pink lips instead. After applying a lip stain as a base, I applied a muted pink balm stain to the pouters. Love the color combination.

I hope all of you are having a great weekend by far. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! :)
