Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful hardworking mothers! I went with the family to "yum cha", a chinese breakfast at a restaurant. I rarely go and yum cha because I just don't like it but today my mom wanted to go so I went. She got her gift the beginning of the week but today again she got something else! I went to the huge sample sale @ Metropolitian Pavillion and grab a bunch of skincare stuff for the fam and friends and moi! 50%-90% off plus an extra 30% the last 3 days. Haul on that later.

I want to review thefaceshop mask that I mentioned in my last post. 

I went to the store in Flushing, Queens and it's hidden in an allenway so you gotta actually look for it. It was a pretty small store and I wasn't really specially looking for anything except fo the shishem lashes. So i wander over to the mask sheet section and boy did they have a lot of sheets! The girl at the counter recommened me the Vita-E Mask Sheet the Vita-A Mask Sheet. She told me to use two sheets of each every 2 days to see how I liked it. To make an even $10 for credit card usage, I got the Fresh fruit aloe mask sheet.

Vita E sheet-

Nourishing, Moisturizing 
Vitamin E --> floods the skin with lavish moisture helps fight oxidation and protects skin cells against sun damage.

Vita A sheet-

Firming 
Vitamin A --> firms the skin and accelerates skin cell turnover to reduce the appearance of wrinkles helps revitalize and optimize skin’s firmness.

Fruit mask sheet-

Aloe soothes and heals damaged skin. Great for sun burn skin irritation.

I love both the Vita sheets. They come in a very moist pack and I did feel my skin to soften and all. When I took the sheet out of the bag, it was all wet and goeyish cause of all the extracts on the mask. I didn't really like how it had a sligh alcohol smell to it =[ Overall I like it and I think i will continue to use it. I haven't tried the ALOE one yet but I can't wait cause its ALOE =)

ON THE SHISHEM LASHES! 

After reading about them from various bloggers, I had to go and get them! I found it at a beauty supply store near thefaceshop store. Got 3 pair and I likeeeeee them! I still need to get use to it. They are around $3.50 -$4.00 for a pair  and comes with 2 sets of glue so its cheap yet durable =)

Here I am wearing the SF ones!  Sorry I don't have picks of the lashes in the box but just google it and you'll know how they look =)

My skin has been breaking out so I'll post later on all the shit load of stuff I've been using to get rid of it!

might go to Mohegan Sun w/ the `rent tom. can't wait!

SEPHORA SPLURGE

As I said in my last post, I got some goodies from Sephora!

I got the Stila My Mother, My Hero($38) combination set and Nars blush in Taos ($25). With the purchase I got 11 samples! ;]

Stila set:

- 0.17 oz Baked Eye Shadow Trio in Gold (gold, bronze, ivory)
- 0.32 oz Illuminating Finishing Powder in Bronze (bronze shimmer)
- 0.13 oz Lip Color in Natalie (a perfect plum)
- 0.15 oz Lash Visor Waterproof Mascara in Black
- Gold Linen Clutch

I love the whole set! The eye shadow trio wasn't anything new because the color can be substituted with some of my colors from the 120 palette. But I do like the gold! they really make it glowy haha LOVE the mascara! It hold my curls to a point but not all the way. And when I applied it, it felt so sturdy and just right! I've never felt a mascara applied on so good! I bascially got this kit for the clutch LOL I can't wait to use it during the summer! It can fit my camera, phone, money, keys! perfecttttt ;]

Now, I've never own any nars product so Taos is my first and omg it's so pigmented! It's absolutely a gorgeous color! It's a rosey color and oh so pretty =)

I'm so happy I order it and because I got a hefty amount of samples lol. Most of them are organic lines. THE BENEFIT BADGAL LASH mascara is not good at all! don't get it!

Faceshop on mask/fakelashes post next =)

Mascaras

It was Monday and I was on my way home, on the train, from school, I glance over to the asian lady sitting across from me and I couldn't keep my eyes off her for the entire ride. Why? She took out a walkman! A bright yellow sony walkman! I really couldn't help but stare at her. I know it's not right but I notice I was looking around to see if any beside myself saw what I saw. Everyone seem too occupied to notice but I know this girl next to her noticed also and she too couldn't stop glancing at the walkman once in a while whenever the lady took it out to stop/play/FF, whatever it is lol She even flip it open to change the cassettes! Oh boy I felt embarass for her but she didn't seem to mind at all doing that haha She look like one those ladies who use to do Chinese opera and stuff. But walkman?! thats like 10 years ago.

Anyways, I got some mascaras/nail art pens couple of weeks ago from CVS BOGO sale.

As you can see in the pic, they are Maybellines and Rimmel. I don't like them! They definitely lengthen! But there wasn't really much volume and most of all they did not hold my curls! pooey! But I guess once I master my false lashes, it doesn't matter if I have a mascara that can hold my curls hehe So for now my fav. is still CC lastblast!

Beside those, I got two of the Sally's nail art pens and I LOVE THEM! too bad the black and other colors ran out! =( It's very easy to use, just push it onto the nails and decorate. You def. have to wait a bit and put a top coat or they can easily come off.

My Sephora haul (nars and stila) should be here tom. so post on them next! CAN'T WAIT! ;]

BIG BANG

This is my 2nd post in a day!

I just have to let it out! I was browsing perezhilton and I can't believe what I saw on their playlist on the sidebar!

http://perezhilton.com/tv/index.php?ptvid=78288337e2ea2

that's right the korean group BigBang newest digital single "lollipop" feat. 2ne1, YG newest girl band!
First there was Boa, now there's BigBang!

I'm really happy to see that Korean music is starting to flow into the U.S. !

Enjoy the vid! I love the song haha it gets stuck in my head now and I love how colorful and retro the mv is =)

New Layout + Mitsuwa

how is the layout ? Gave it flavor haha credits to whoever the pictures belong to! I wanted a pink/purple look with white background but I found this cute cig pic with hearts on it so I tried to blend the colors to the colors of the pics. I sorta like it =]

So it's spring break for the kids meaning I don't have to work! This is more like my spring break also because I'm not going out. Just going to stay home and enjoy myself. Most of the days I'll be finishing all the homeworks that are due for the last few weeks of school. I just can't wait for it to be over! This just means that summer is right around the corner! time to shave and go short short short! ^^

So last week I went to Mitsuwa because of this strawberry fair they had. Before I went, I went to the national college fair at Javis center to talk to London Met. It was interesting and I really want to go to London but it really depends on my parents. My other options are Florida or stay here in NY! ={

But anywhoo, so i went to mitsuwa and the strawberyr fair wasn't really a fair at all! It was just a table fill with strawberry goodies and thats about it. I did get a few goodies so here's my haul!

The oreos wasn't as great as I expected! and the pocky just wasn't worth it! there are 9 packs and each only contain 7 sticks! it was for $5 I believe =[ I did enjoy the crunkly, mochi and tamagcookies! I LOVE THE COOKIE!!!<3>
Here's the whole lot! the noodles was really something new lol. It got the wasabi flavor going on which I wasn't too keen on. OMG the curry is freaking delicious! not too spicy just perfect for me!

Mascara haul next post!
