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: "Eye on Neutral" for the "Beauty Queen"

Hello, hello Saturday my lovely readers! Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend by far. It is always the same with me, always be busy, busy with something. This week, we have an extravagant birth party for my baby cousin, she turns two! I'm not sure if I should look forward to it or not, cause ya know, the terrible twos stage. *shiver*

Her mom, my aunt even flew back from Nebraska for the event. So yeah, it will be huge. As is with all Asian events, we do things ourselves. LOL. All the women gather and lend a helping hand. I was sucked into it, obviously. So yes, this is my life story for today.

On the bright side though, there are abundant amount of food just waiting to be devoured later. It is seriously so hard to diet being apart of this family.. Controlling oneself is already a challenge around here. Haha.

But yeah, full face of makeup for today. Something comfortable and low maintenance, something like a BB Cream, nude eyes and rosy, neutral lips.

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: "Lace" In "Anguilla"

It's Saturday guys, it's Saturday! What a glorious Saturday... What a busy day. :/ Only reason why I'm so excited is because it is the weekend, besides that, I'm so busy today. Gaaaaaaaaaaaawd. I cannot wait for dinner tonight. Me so hungry and haven't even had the time to eat yet.

Face is made today, completely made, the whole nine yards with foundation and blush and all that good stuff. I must say... I miss my hour long therapeutic makeup sessions a lot. I also miss the feeling of pampering myself  and dolling up.

Alrighty, so I woke up to gloomy, cloud weather today. Apparently the forecast predicted that Arizona, well, my area at least, will receive some rain today, tomorrow and Monday. Hmm, we shall see. Gimme all you've got rain! So why am I suddenly talking about the weather? Well, if you are a regular, you'll realize that I kinda base my makeup for the day on the weather. Dreary weathers like today calls for bright pick me uppers. The picker uppers in today's makeup mess are on my cheek and eyes. Babydoll pink cheeks, paired with sweet pink lips and subtle pop of colors on the 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.

Throwback Thursday: Hauls & Mini-Hauls

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Em kinh chuc cac ban mot nam moi nhieu hanh phuc, tai loc va suc khoe. I wish all of my lovely readers a happy new year with much prosperity, health, joy and may luck be on your side this year of the goat/sheep/ram. :D

I am currently working on the Spring/Summer 2015 Beauty Trends, which will be up very soon, maybe as soon as sometime next week.. So please anticipate that.

In the mean time, I prepared this Throwback Thursday post for ya'll. I see that most of my popular posts are those of hauls. So here for your convenience, are all of the the haul posts I ever posted here in one place.

the Balm

BH Cosmetics

e.l.f.

City Color

the Balm - Hautelook Event

Hello Tuesday my lovely readers!! Monday came and go and here we are, Tuesday again, a day closer to the Lunar New Year. Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve and the Mother took a day off to help me prepare... Not entirely sure if I should be grateful or cry. LOL. As the new year nears, everyone is trying to get their share of things done so everyone is on edge and just so... It takes efforts, lots of it to be nice. :P

I apologize for not being as active the last couple of days. Lunar New Year's week is by far the busiest holiday for us. Yes, Thanksgiving and Christmas is time consuming as well but the times reserved for Lunar New Years is just ridiculous. I will be "back" by Friday, hopefully. By then, it will be day 2 of the new years and by traditional superstitions, we are not to "clean" or "work", just "play" and relax for those three days. So yeah, by Friday I should be back; hopefully with an iPsy post because my bag came home today.

Anyways though, for today, I wanted to share with y'all a couple of things I picked up from the the Balm event on Hautelook not too long ago. And by a couple, I mean only three.

Check them out below. :)

Today's Make Up: Current Go-To Make Up

Wednesday greetings my beautiful readers. :) I hope you are all doing well this Hump Day; just two more days guys... Two. More. Days. Can y'all tell I'm anticipating for the weekend? Haha. Just a bit. :P

Ran some quick errands today but didn't have much time to get ready in the AM... Okay.. not really, I lied. Haha. I had plenty of time, I woke up fairly early... I just couldn't get out of bed. LOL. When i finally did drag myself out of bed, I only had less than half an hour to get ready before going to pick up my aunt.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures! Kinda... This has been my go-to makeup as of late. On days where I just need to throw something on to look presentable or limit on time or both like today, this is the look I go for. Nothing too fancy but definitely very presentable and natural.

Today's Make Up: "Toasted" "Brownie"

Tuesday greetings my lovely Winter ray of sunshine. How are y'all doing this what was supposed to be a cloudy, rainy day? I was actually hoping for that for a change, instead of this bright, sunny typical AZ day.

Annnnnyways, met my friend for lunch earlier today. She better believe I adore her cause I wouldn't set foot outside for a second, not in this humid. My regulars already knows how much I hate the humidity, it simply makes me want to tear my skin off. So yeah... :D

It was one of those half assed makeup day again. For the most part, I didn't really need much makeup today because my skin has been behaving very well. My skin fairing so well this Winter, I'd have to thank myself for being so diligent with the DIY masks.

So here are the eight products on the face today... Yes, just eight. Sometimes, less is definitely more. :P

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: Ladyfingers

Heeeeeeeello my special Winter snowflakes. :) How is everyone doing? D-2 until Christmas and tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I know some are still working up until tomorrow but do not fret! It'll be just until midday tomorrow and everyone can be home to enjoy the break. Sooooounds good to me.

Alrightio, so two more days until Christmas but although the present shopping is done and finished, there's still some last minute grocery shopping at the request of my Mommy and aunts. Them and there last minute planning. :/ I am trying to get all shoppings done and over with today and TRY not to leave the house at all tomorrow. I can already see the last minute shoppers and the hectic crowded stores. Ugh... shivers.

I wandered the streets today, drifted from store to store with the bro. We had lunch and stuffed our faces throughout the trip, all good times. Haha. He actually complimented me on my makeup today, which is a definite first. He isn't the type of guy who likes thick makeup and false lashes and bold lips, natural is better in his eyes. So I was quite surprised this morning when he told me he liked my makeup. Actually, more shocked than surprised because I half-assed today's makeup and just did whateva. :D Best kind of makeup these is. LOL.

Noooothing on the face besides bronzer to contour. Please do keep in mind that whenever I say I have nothing on my face, I will always have on some sort of moisturizer, usually my Olay Complete for Oily Skin.

I created a cat eye with my brown liquid liner. Then I used a detailed brush and applied Luxury Reborn to my lower lash line and crease. I then took Pixie to my inner corner of the lower lash line, lining my waterline in Nude. I used Perversion to tight line my upper lash line,  and at the outer corner of my lower lash line. I used a fluffy brush to blend out the eyeliner for a softer look. Then curl and mascara using this new Lash Sensational. I am really, really impressed with this mascara by far. I cannot say much about it because this is my first use. But a very great first impression. It was able to lift my heavy, thick lashes.

For the effortless lips, I first applied a red tint then topped with Ladyfingers for that reddish-berry pout.

As always, y'all enjoy the res of your night now. Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon!! :)

Today's Make Up: A "Narcissus" In The "Rose Garden"

Happy Friday my lovely readers and visitors, hope you're all having a fantastical day!! :D Now that Friday is almost or is forever, let's make way for the glorious weekend. Yeah? Okay, sounds good.

Another gloomy day here in the AZ, hoping hard for another rainfall but being the the rational Arizonan that I am, highly doubt that. But of course, feel free to prove me wrong you darn AZ weather! Give me raaaaaain!! Nonetheless, I shouldn't be complaining, the weather is so idealistic today. It's just one of those days where you open your eyes, look out the window and just know that it's gonna be a wonderful day. :) And a wonderful day it has been. Had lunch with the brother and did some more Christmas shopping; lots of memories in the making this time of year. I will surely miss times like this when we both are married and have out own families. LOL.

Any who, no lazy makeup today, I went all out. ;) And by all out, I mean the whole face and eyes. Pink is the color of choice today, because why? Haha, I mentioned a couple days ago, if not last week that when I am in a happy mood, pink immediately comes to mind. Pink lips with pink cheeks and kinda, sorta pink eyes to match! Let's get to it!

To contrast with the many days of sporting the no makeup bare face, today's face is a go to favorite. It's that bare face look with the luminous glow I have been raving about. In order to obtain the flawless canvas to create that "bare face" look, several products are needed. In order to achieve the poreless canvas, I used a pore filler on those areas. And for those pesky under eye dark circles, uneven skin tone and redness, nothing heavy duty concealers cannot fix. After the face has been flawlessly prepped, I used a mixture of BB Cream and a pump of Magic Lumi and applied that evenly onto my face with a damp sponge. After that, I just set with powder, contoured with bronzer and applied blush as always. Today's blush of choice is a dusty rosey shade called Rose Garden.

On the eyes, I went for a pinkish nude, complete with a winged brown liner. I then used Perversion to tight line my upper lash line. To balance the pink from my eyelids, I popped more pink on my lower lash line with Holika Holika Jewel-Light Under Eye Maker.

To finish off the pink on pink look, I went for bubble gum pink lips. I absolutely love these NYX Round Lipstick and can go on for daaaaaays about how amazing they are. Creamy, long lasting, moisturizing, pigmented, you get what you see, it's just all things amazing packed into this lipstick. Like I said, Narcissus is a bubble gum pink, vibrant in color and in my opinion, will look good with any skin tone.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Y'all enjoy your weekend now and be safe! Stay warm while you're at it. Please come back soon!! :)

Today's Make Up: "Metropolitan Mauve" Meets "Olympian Blue"

Hello Thursday everyone!! Happy almost-weekend all! For many, weekend already started at the end of the work day today while for others, that will begin tomorrow. Either way, another weekend is underway!! Hooray!!!! :D

I come to you all with this post from the food court of a mall. I was... forced? Obligated? Begged. Yes, my little cousins begged me to take them to the mall for something and they've been about since, leaving me with my phone and tablet alone at the food court. Haha. It's okay, I'll work with what I have.

I was rudely awoken early this morning by some friends, demanding I go to breakfast with them. Waking me up is never a good idea, especially when I didn't get any sleep the night prior. But being a good friend, I braved the cold and got up. And guess what! Another lazy makeup day for me today. Haha. :P

The specialty for today is the contrast of the vibrant blue and a pink mauve on a bare canvas.

FACE
Essence Forget It! 3-in-1 Concealer

Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Hot Chocolate

LIPS
NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Color in Metropolitan Mauve

I swept Iced Latte all over my lids to brighten up my sleepy eyes. I lined my lower lash line with Olympian Blue for a pop of color because everything else was so plain.

I must say, this Twistable Intense Lip Color cannot compare to my favorite balm stains. But that aside, I do enjoy the pigmentation it provides my lips. I did apply a lip balm underneath, that is not something I am willing to gamble with. The application was smooth and glided on with ease. There were no weird smells that I can make out and it was very comfortable on my lips. It did started drying out maybe 3 hours after application but I was already expecting that.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Enjoy the rest of your day. Please come back soon! :)

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. :)
