The Face Shop

Went to the Face Shop after eating some JaJang Myeon (hmmm yummmm..) and got this very cute blush!
its a very light baby pink color and the packaging is soo adorbs
the color itself is not very light, runs on very smooth, but you cant really see the color unless you pack this on. other than that, i think it gives my face a nice soft pink :) very cute


i also got this lipstick in # 2 its a coral color (ahah i should stop buing coral lipsticks!) i wear this almost everyday now, the color is very nice. its not very moisturizing, runs on matte but you can top it off with some lip balm. wear this lipstick with light eye makeup. it will give your face a nice color that stands out.


YSL haul + sephora haul

ive always wanted to buy YvesSaintLaurent makeup and splurged on myself, so today was the day to do so :)

i got the YSL teint resist foundation in # 3 for $55 usd
oil free/ spf 10
it has a pink undertone that makes my skin looks a healthier
when i tried it on my hands and chin, it made my skin look so flawless~ ive never used a liquid foundation for my whole face before, usualy i use BB cream because its beneficial for the skin, but this foundation just felt too awesome to pass





i bought two shades of lipsticks from their line
the left side is in # 13 Peche Passion the right is in #30 Peche Fabourg they are $ 34 for each
the color pigmentation is super adorable. you can apply more layers of the lipstick to create a deeper color. definitely my favorite color is #30 it has an orange tint (i love orange/coral colors) to it that's not too strong. when applied the color goes between the cracks of your lips, making it look smoother and soft. these are my current favs


i also purchased a Makeup Forever concealer, since ive been liquid foundation as a concealer (doesnt last long) i thought i should try these. Concealers are much more thicker/stickier and pigmented than liquid foundation. Therefore it will last longer on your dark spots or blemishes you're trying to hide. the shade i got is in #4 for $ 30

the eyeshadow i got is sephora brand its called Harmony Trio Bronze. i love neutral colors so these will work for as my everyday eye shadow. the colors are very pigmented and also has an iridescent shimmer to it. the eye shadow will definitely give a nice sparkle to the eyes.

Nars orgasm oh la la~

ello~
yes yes.. i got into the whole hype thing about nars orgasm blush xD
i didnt really like it at first because of the really pigmented shimmer in it, but when i tried it on my cheeks it was shoooo Q ahahha the colors has an iridescent gold tint to it
the blush it self is kind of deep and plummy.. im not sure how to explain it but
it looks like the color when you just got hit by something and a bruise starts to from the first time. a red bruise color xD LOL sorry for the really bad explanation hope my swatch does some justice





other than that i think its a really nice color ^^ i really like it. its just great for the winter/holiday season. give your face a nice glow yet settle. adds a nice color and makes your face look more defined :)

Palty Hair Dye

i recently dyed my hair using palty japanese hair dye :D

the one on the left is jewelry ash and the one the the right is milk tea brown. These hair dyes are targeted towards asians or for people with dark hair color. the solution has a good amount of bleach in it to achieve a nice result
but i dont see why light hair colored people cant try them out also :)



aren't the packaging adorable?!?! ahah im a sucker for cute packaging. i believe these models are from pop teen magazine. wondering why i bought two different color hair dyes?? i was contemplating which color between the two i should dye with



box includes gloves, hair color, solution, and attachable hair comb, and tsubaki hair conditioner. the instructions are in japanese but its pretty explainable already



the box comes with this really cool attachable head comb. The product will squeeze out of the teeths while you are dying your hair providing a better coverage!! how cool is that :D

i dyed my hair in milk tea brown Only. My hair grew out its natural black and i dyed my hair in red/black 2 months ago in HK (it faded though) my bottom roots is dark brown (from past hair dyes)



i left this hair dye on for 2 hrs (although the box suggest the usual 3o mins ^^) with a plastic wrap around my head. the results...



the hair color looks dark brown indoors but it looks gold brown outdoors+ sunlight. whats really cool about palty is that it gives you full coverage of one color! i thought my black hair will turn dark brown and my roots will turn light brown but i guess not :D my whole head is one color. no weird gradients ^^

PLEASE READ
my suggestions
i have read before from other reviews that you should buy two bottles of the same hair dye (which i didnt do >.> ) because one will NOT be enough to fully dye your hair.even if you have short hair with lots of layers it is still risky to buy only 1 bottle. i knew this warning but i only bought one cause im going to dye my hair silver... and i dont want to waste $$ (these hair dyes are $11 each) my hair is thick and pretty long also xD.. im a rebel
while dying my hair i was really careful and sectioned off my hair. i made sure that my whole head was covered with the hair dye. i used that bottle CLEAN. so i SUGGEST buying 2 bottles if you do not want to take a risk like me

some girls experienced dry hair after using palty. my hair didnt feel dry at all..it felt like my old hair matter of fact.. i think it got softer! :D ahah

in order to get the same hair color as the boxes.. you would have to bleach your hair. so do not expect a dramatic difference if you are dying your hair with just the box.

some girls even experience orange under tone from these hair dyes. so be caution

so this is my thought on palty hair dye. its a really good product and you'll get some really nice results :)

happy color~ :D

Massive Haul + gifts

Hi again ^^ this is my verrrryyy long due Hong Kong haul. sorry i took so long.. gomen ne~ ;o;
These were purchased in two trips, half of the stuff my brother had to go shop for me ^^ ahahah thank you onii-chan. it must have been awkward for him to buy make up and skin care stuff but it didnt seem like he mind. long hair dont care :D
i bought a lot of things from skin food. mostly masks and blushes ^^



These are the skin food blushes that i got. I believe they come in only 3 colors for these shimmer blushes. Other colors are for the lip+cheek stains (that i sadly did not get to buy ;o; )
these colors are adorable. #1 is a baby pink #2 is a coral color # 3 is a bronze pink/orange all of these have really cute gold shimmers in them ^^ (which i absolutely adore) they run on very smooth and are very pigmented. i love wearing these during the summer, but they also work for the cold seasons too, especially the coral color.


Here is a swatch on my hand


I went out to buy Maybelline's Dream Mousse Blush in #20 Peach-Satin. Fuzkittie did a video about this and i thought i would try it out. Sadly, there is just too much shimmer in it for me.. the color is very nice but the shimmers make it look frosty. The texture is very nice, feels just like a whipped mousse.



These are just a few gifts i got from jayson, apparently the things he ordered were mixed up as women sizes so he gave them to me :D zing!
this is a Dreamer camera strap (which i didnt get to open yet ><) it looks cute in the box ahahha


OOhhh i actually bought these in HK , aren't the adorable?? Their capsule ear phones :D and they work so well <3

some t-shirts jayson gave me, not much my style but i guess i can wear them at home :D



and thats about it :) ill keep on posting when i have something new to show you guys ^^

ViVa La Glam MAC Lipsticks

i just went out to buy these lipsticks after watching Hollyannree's YT video. They are from the Viva La Glam line in MAC. There are two colors which Lady Gaga and Cyindi Lauper endorses and i must say these two colors are soooo adorable. They apply very easily and is semi moisturizing. & i love the packaging!! its so cute. they even have the girls' signatures on the lipsticks. Here are the swatches ^^

GaGa's lipstick is a pop of pink. It reminds me of Barbie lips! This is a bold color to wear for starters , much like Lady Gaga her self (i lovee her!) It is not a everyday color that's for sure. You can wear this for clubbing to achieve a bold flirty look.





Cyndi's color is much easier to wear. Its a deep pink almost a red color on the lips. I think my flash made the color look much lighter then it actually is. Other than that, the color is very nice and cute.

with love, from honk kong..

i received a package in the mail today, and it was from my brother ^^ yay~ i asked him to buy me some skin goodies from hong kong and send it to me. Most of the products are from skin food and they were lovely enough to give me soo many samplesヽ(^◇^*)/ ワーイ, i received samples.. but not the real products that i asked for ( ̄~ ̄;) my brother didnt send me the bottles i ordered b/c he is too lazy to pack them and ship.. aiyooo i get them when im in HK


i cant wait to try them out ^^ skin food also give me a bottle of honey milk body wash~

this is The Body Shop's tea tree facial wash. i love this facial wash~ it removes all of my make up and gives me a tingly feeling, kind of minty. This facial wash is good for oily and combination skin. Its gentle and has a gel like consistency. It has the reagent of oil control and deep cleaning. Great for people who have acne. Seriously, i didnt expect much from this facial wash, because of its texture (gel like) but i removed a great deal of my makeup! My mascara residue+eyeliner was completely gone~ product recommended for those looking for gentle yet deep clean facial wash! very affordable and does the job $11usd

I got this facial scrubber from mitsuwa for $7-8 usd, i thought i should try it because i knew i wasnt washing off my make up thoroughly. It is made out of silicon rubber which is much softer and gentler on the skin. I have tried the toothbrush method but it was soo harshh, the bristles were too hard on the skin and it hurted (yes i did try to soften the bristles with a soap stone and other methods and no, i wasnt scrubing my face ferociously). i just didnt like the toothbrush method so this little baby did the job, it cleaned my dead skin cells and minimized my pores.

this one i actually liked better and it was one $1.50 usd in Daiso!! because of its size, it made cleaning my whole face a lot easier.

i really do recommend having silicon facial scrubbers, especially if you have blackheads, it really minimizes pores and give you that extra clean to your face washes.
