Jacob & Garage

When I first tried this dress on I fell in LOVE with it. I had to have it...lucky that I still have friends who work at Jacob so I got it for 1/2 off under $50 (^_^) now I need an occasion to wear it

Went into Garage with Mama Gen to look at the $5 tees in the end I ended up with a pair of sweat pants & a dress both $15 (+tax) each. The tees didn't look good on me but looked good on Mama Gen. The sweat pants are super comfortable & the dress is great for summer (^_^)

Quo Foundation Brush & Skin Care

Bought a Quo foundation brush on sale for $14.78 at Shoppers Drug Mart. They are having a 40% off sale on all there Quo brushes. I was using my Body Shop blush brush to put on my BB cream before that. The Quo brush is ok but doesn’t feel as soft & nice as my Body Shop brush but it does the job. Probably would get a Body Shop brush if it goes on sale. I have stopped wearing BB cream for awhile now but after watching Hollyannaeree video where she recommended using the Lioele Triple the Solution BB Cream (which I own) to help with ache scarring I have gone back to it. Lioele Triple the Solution BB Cream which is a Korean Brand does have decent coverage & does blend in will with my skin tone but I have to let it set in first because it goes on really light on my skin when I first put it on so I have to let it oxidize first (I think that is the word). My skin is slowly getting better which makes me happy.

Before I was into using BB cream a lot and have bought so many brands which are now just collecting dust because I don’t want to put anything on my face to make it worst. The other BB Creams that I owe are Skin79 Super+ Beblesh Balm BB Cream VIP Gold Collection, Skin79 Super+ Beblesh Balm BB Cream Diamond Collection & Missha M Watery BB Cream.  The Skin79 VIP Gold has good coverage for me & goes better with my skin then the Diamond one. The Missha one has very light coverage & is very watery.  

Being doing a DIY mask for my skin that I saw on Bubzbeauty. It is just Rice Powder, Honey & Green Tea. It is suppose to help with ache scares. I have been doing it almost every day not sure if I am seeing any result yet but it isn’t breaking out my face. So I will continue to use the mask for now.

Well.ca

My first order at Well.ca which is an online site that sells a variety of products. Free shipping within Canada…which I LOVE & they do have sales a lot. I ordered Sally Hansen Gem Crush Showgirl Chic , 2 Milani 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer in Cyberspace & Hi-Tech & Sally Hansen Push-n-Trim Cuticle Trimmer. I got everything on sale except for the Milani 3D since this is the only place that I can find that sells this line but looks like the Milani 3D isn’t sold at well.ca anymore which is disappointing (>_<) don’t know where else I can get it now. Loving everything I purchase, the Push-n-Trim Cuticle Trimmer is awesome first discovered this product from Mama Gen when she did my nails. I need to purchase another one for my BFF when it goes on sale.  I also purchased my first Sally Hansen Gem Crush in Cha-Ching! at London Drugs which had it on sale for around $5 but they didn’t have a lot of selection. The only thing I don't like about Well.ca is that they ship there ordered out in big boxes, I had 2 different orders 1 order had 1 nail polish the other had 2 nail polishes & the trimmer but they used the same size box for both, which both of them were way to small for that big of a box. So I think it is such a waste. They should have smaller boxes or other packaging for smaller orders. Other then that I like Well.ca & I would shop there again (^_^)

Milani 3D Cyberspace, Gem Crush Cha-Ching!
Milani 3D Hi-Tech & Gem Crush Showgirl Chic

AE & Joe

Some more clothing shopping (^_^) I got a cute grey dress from American Eagle on sale for $15.67 & at Superstore I got a Joe black top for $17.92.

Teeth Whitening

Watched a review on Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening Systems on MszJackieChu youtube channel. Not really happy with my teeth and can't afford to go to dentist to get them whiten so cheaper alternative, if it works that is. I found the kit at London Drugs for $15.99. I hope it works, I am using it ever night even though the box says twice a day but I don't think using it too much will be good for my teeth don't want them to become overly sensitive.

Bling & Cupcakes

I got my 720 pink white Rhinestone Crystal Stickers that I ordered from eBay. I was disappointed 720 wasn't enought to cover my mini-mirror. For $5.99 so not worth it.

My Addiction right now is cupcakes. I had a craving for cupcakes after watching the show the ”Cupcake Girls” during my lunch break (TV in lunchroom). It is a reality shows that follows the life of 2 women who own “Cupcakes by Heather & Lori” in BC. Personally I don’t like there cupcakes, I think they are overly priced & nothing really special. I like the cupcakes at the supermarket better. So that is where I got mines, next time I wouldn’t get it at Extra Foods though. I got the Berry Blast mini cupcakes they were very sour. Since I was there I picked up another pumpkin pie (finish the last one I bought over the weekend) it was on sale for $5 & a box of cookies Chip Ahoy! MiddleS which is a chocolate chocolate chip cookie with a chocolate middle, it was on sale for $2. I didn’t like it that much there was too much chocolate, I wanted the regular chocolate chip cookies but they were sold out. Next time I have to try the cupcakes at Safeway or Price Smart, I heard they are good. Soo much sugar right now, hopefully I wouldn't break out like crazy because of this (>_<)

Recent Purchase: GAP & AE

This weekend I did some shopping, I haven't bought any new clothes in a long time. I got myself a nice salmon navy blue striped 3/4 length sleeve v-neck sweater on sale at the GAP for $24.35. Also at American Eagle I purchased a wind breaker for around $16 but I will return it, since I probably woudn't wear it that much so a waste of $$$

Rain Boots

I purchased my 2^nd pair of rain boots since my first pair broke (>_<) I got another pair of Tretorn except this time I got a pair in solid black, my last pair were pink with patterns. Living in BC I think it is essential to have a pair of rain boots since it rains so much here.  I got the boots on sale at Little Burgundy for under $70, happy to have dry feet again and to be able to splash around in puddles.

Recent Purchase & My Addiction

Had a craving for Reeses peanut better cups so I purchased some Reese Mini ‘s. Also think I am getting a little bit sick again so got some NeoCitran just in case.

Thinking about my childhood and one type of food popped into my head Fried Dace with salted black beans. I found it at T&T but expensive now, it cost under $1 before but now it is over $3. I purchased one, still taste the same as before (^_^) good good. It taste good with rice but I ate some of it just as is…was too lazy to make rice.

I purchased NYX NP 32 South Sea nail polish on sale for $1.99 at Price Smart Foods. The color is very opaque so you will need a few coats. I have not used it on its own yet, I have used it on top of another color to add some shine to it and it looks nice.

After going to The Golden Boot the first time I have been wanting to go back, so last Friday I went back with my BFF. My BFF ordered the Pizza Imola - mozzarella, chicken, brie & onion which I had for lunch the next day, it was ok but I prefer the one I ordered last time. I ordered the Lasagna alla Bolognese which was good but I should have just eaten half of it instead of the whole thing because it was way too much eating the whole thing. And we couldn’t leave without having the Tiramisu..yummy. I LOVE this place (^_^)

Diaso & Mini Almond Cookies

Went to Diaso yesterday and got a few stuff:
-more cotton pad boxes
-2 cards
-eyebrow pen which is a repurchase, it's not bad works well for my brows
-jasmine & lavender fragrance oil
-mini garden shovel which was the main reason for me going to Diaso
-sakura wrapping paper...so pretty
-a bigger cosmetic bag since the one I purchase last time is too small

Was craving almond cookies, finally purchased them at T&T. The ones they have are only OK but it satisfy my craving.

One of my co-workers gave me a package of Boy Bawang (garlic boy) corn bits from the Philippines. It was ok, does taste like garlic.

Random Stuff: Advil, Chips, Plant & Stickers

So I read that Advil Liquid Gels can help reduce redness & the size of pimples. For me I'm not sure if it helps a lot, I think it reduce the size a little bit but redness is still there so not really that effective so far from what I can see. No idea how you are suppose to open the capsule gels without making a big mess. First I tried using a knife....that didn't work then I used scissors and it did cut through but so messy. Maybe I will give it another try again but I will need to buy more Advil Liquid Gels...not sure if I want to spend money on it or not (the one I used last time was from a friend).

Was craving Chips or more like Tortilla with Salsa & Guacamole. So got some from Extra Foods...yummy...

My co-worker gave me another plant to add to my collection...I don't remember the name of the plant again (bad memory >_<) but it is some kind of flower. I really hope it will grow and I will get to see it bloom.

My order of stickers came from eBay. I wanted alphabet stickers for sticking on my Kobo & Playbook. One of the sellers gave me an extra pack of stickers for free, sticker of clothes...don't have much use for it though. The quality of the stickers aren't that great but you get what you paid for. I paid 0.99 cent each for them...but they add a little something to my Kobo & Playbook (^_^) just hope they stay on.

Recent Purchase - Revlon Just Bitten & Maybelline Baby Lips

Another 2 lipsticks that I don't really need (>_<) I think I have been buying too much stuff lately that I don't really need (>_<) really bad...I need to stop. Hopefully my last recent purchase post of non-essential stuff. But this time i really couldn't help myself both of them were on sale.

Revlon Just Bitten in Frenzy & Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry

So I got the Revlon Just Bitten lip stain on sale at London Drugs for $6.71. Almost all there Revlon lip products were on sale for that price...even the Revlon Lip Butter which I paid over $8 for (>_<) I wanted to buy more but I resisted... The lip stain is ok, this is my first time trying a lip stain. It does stay on the lips for a long time but not all day. Would I repurchase again probably not, it didn't really wow me. I got the Maybelline Baby Lips for $4.45 at Wal-mart. All I can say about the Baby Lips is it is like a colored lip balm but barely any color at all, so nothing really special about it.

Recent Purchase - Revlon Lip Butter, Screen Guard & Got2B

Finally got the most raved and talked about Revlon Lip Butter. I got it on sale for $8.96 CAD at Shoppers Drug Mart. I still find it expensive but it's the cheapest price right now. So far I like it but only problem is the color "sweet tart" is a lot brighter then I thought it would be on my lips. If you want a more in dept review and more swatches visit Jen's site at From Head To Toe. I think I would purchase more colors but I will wait until it goes on sale some more.

I purchased 2 screen protector or screen guards for my Kobo e-reader. I paid about $7.89 CAD for 2 of them on eBay. 1 is for myself & the other one is for my friend. I also purchased Got2B Instant infusion Collagen Root-Boosting Spray after reading about it on BubzBeauty. I got it on sale at London Drugs for $4.47 CAD. I think it is working but I am not sure since I have just started blow drying my hair after washing it...before I just let it air dry...so I don't know if my hair has more volume because of that or because of the spray. Will need to do some testing.

Recent Purchase - E.L.F

I received my E.L.F order today (^_^) here is what I ordered:
-small angled brush $3 USD for my friend
-lash & eyebrow comb $3 USD
-Studio Matte Lipstick in Rich Red, Natural, Tea Rose, Coral & Praline $3 USD each
-Studio Lip Balm SPF 15 in Rose, Pink & Peach $3 USD each

from left to right top to bottom: lip balm - Rose / Pink / Peach
Lipstick - Rich Red / Natural / Tea Rose / Coral / Praline

The brushes are pretty good especially for only $3 USD each. For the Studio Matte Lipstick I was disappointed since only the Rich Red shows up on my lips (>_<) the other colors either don't show up or don't look good on me. The lipstick is matte so it is very drying so you will need to put something moisturizing underneath or something on top. The Studio Lip Balm SPF 15 has only a tint of color, it is more moisturizing then the lipstick but I still needed to add vaseline or another balm to keep my lips from being dry. But my BFF has no problem with this and she finds it moisturizing, so I guess it depends on your lips. Will I repurchase again probably not because not enough variety of colors that suit me & not moistruizing enough for me but for $3 USD it was worth a try.

Recent Purchase - Makeup & Skin Care

Today I went to pick up my 2 orders one from Colourmix & another from Sasa.

From Colourmix
-Naruko Magnolia Brightening & Firming Night Eye Gelly
-Naruko Magnolia Brightening & Firming Night Gelly
-2 Lioele All In One Gel Eyeliners in black
-Naruko Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Whitening Serum
-Vitocreme B12 cream read about this a long time ago finally ordered it to try out but wouldn't be for awhile since I still have a lot of other products to try out still
-Lioele AC Control Trouble Patch read a good review on Inside Out Elle

From Sasa
-2 Koji Dolly Wink Volume Mascara in black
-Hadatuko Face Gel Cream came free with my purchase since I paid via paypal

I am loving the Lioele All In One Gel Eyeliners so far, very easy to apply unlike liquid which you have to wait for it to dry or it will smug. I still need to practice applying it ^_^ It comes with a brush so I don't need to buy one. I still need to test out the wearability of it. My problem with both pencil & liquid is that it doesn't stay on my eyes, I have very oily eyelids. So hopefully this will stay on my eyes and my search for a good eyeliner will be over. I am also loving the Koji Dolly Wink Volume Mascara. I have the lengthening mascara but the volume ones seems to pop out more to me even though my BFF sees no difference. The only drawback is that the volume mascara takes a lot more effort to take off unlike the lengthening one. But I still like them both.

Recent Purchase - Kobo, Super Mild & Fish Body Oil

I recently got an Kobo e-reader it was on sale at Chapters for $119 + tax and a case for it. I splurged on the case $40 + tax but it was the only one that I saw that I liked and no nice ones on eBay either and such a pretty shade of red (^_^) I am loving my Kobo, it has been entertaining me through my hour & 1/2 ride to work and home. Also when I am at work, when I have nothing to do (which happens a lot >_<) I love the little Kobo sleepy face that comes on when it is in sleep mode....sooo cute

I really wanted to try out the Shiseido Super Mild shampoo & conditioner. So I went to my local T&T Asian supermarket to get it and I was so lucky it was on sale for $10.99 + tax each. This was my first time spending so much on shampoo & conditioner. I have used it a few times since then and I like it. It doesn't leave my hair oily after 1 whole day like my last shampoo & conditioner.

My friend bought some Fish Body Oil which is good for your skin and also provides you with Omega 3 which is also good for you. I am getting into taking more vitamins and supplements now since I am not getting enough of it in my diet. We all need to take care of ourselves (^_^)

Skullcandy

So my headphones broke on me yesterday only 1 side was playing. One of the things I can't live without is music especially when traveling around via public transit, I need music in my ear to block having to hear peoples conversations. I have always bought the Apple headphones but finally decided I need to go with something else because they don't last, I have had mines for less then a year (>_<) My good friend recommended Skullcandy Titan earbuds to me. After wasting my time going yesterday to Best Buy to find out they were closed already and then going back today to find out they don't have it at that location and having to go to another location I got them and I am LOVEing them. The sound quality is AWESOME. I highly recommend for the sound quality now I will have to see about the lasting quality. For $54.99 + tax I hope they last for awhile.

Recent Purchase - Soap & Glory

Today at Shoppers Drug Mart I purchased 2 Soap & Glory products
-Scrub Your Nose In It $18
I have BIG pores on my nose (>_<) so I was attracted to the words "Helps minimize the look of large pores" I used the product today and it feels refreshing on the skin but definitely need to use it more to see if it works or not.
-Great Shake $10
I have super dry hands, the only thing that seems to work for me is Vaseline the jelly type. Which is way to greasy and takes time to absorb into your skin. This hand cream feels wired when you put it on...like wax. My hands do not look dry with it on but it doesn't feel that way or maybe it's the waxy feeling that I am not use to. I will have to use it some more to see if I like it or not. Either way I will continue to use since it wasn't cheap.

NYX, Underworld & Pho Boi

After finding out from a friend that there is an actually NYX store in Surrey, I have been wanting to go. Finally went yesterday, this was my first time at Central City mall since I usually never go to Surrey. The mall isn't too bad, nice interior but wired that Simon Fraser University is connect to it. So the NYX store carries everything that they have online at the same price except they have a sale section which had some AWESOME deals.

Here is what I purchased
-cupcake lip gloss set $3 gave 3 to my friends & just keep the clear one for myself. I like it, will probably purchases some more later if they have any left. They are just sooo cute (^_^)
-2 glitter eyeshadow palettes $2 each for my friend
-a purple & pink eyeshadow palette TS-06 $3 beautiful colors
-pump it up lip plumper 05-Scarlett $7.99 feels tingly when you put it on, doesn't have much color to it just a tint but could work well on top of lipstick
-jumbo eye pencil in 604-Milk $5.99 going to use this over my eye so that my eyeshadow color will pop out more

Went to watch Underworld 4 in 3D. This was my first time watching a Underworld movie and I liked it but don't think it is worth paying to watch in 3D because really there wasn't much 3D in it, so I felt ripped off because of that. But I would recommend watching for the movie itself. Now I am interested in watching all the other movies in this series. We pigged out when watching the movie. Didn't get to finish all the popcorn still have 1/2 bag left but the candy is all gone now (>_<)

    Food: 3/5             Service: 4/5            Ambiance: 3/5             Price: 4/5

Went to Pho Boi for some Vietnamese food. I have been to this restaurant before but it was under a different name. I ordered something similar to what I order at Pho 99 (My Go To Restaurant) but it wasn't the same. They gave me more noodles then meat, which I prefer the opposite. So I still prefer Pho 99 over this place. Forgot to take a picture of my own food (how did this happen) but I got a picture of my friends soup.

Recent Purchase - Camera Accessories, Playbook Protector, Hair Ties & Water Bottle

I ordered some more stuff from eBay
-DSLR LCD screen protector
-2 lens caps since I lost my original one hiking last year (>_<) but I got a really great deal 2 for only $8 CAD
-Playbook screen protector
-some colourful hair ties since all the ones I have are either all gone or stretched out (goody brand not really that good). I like them so I ordered some more (^_^)

From Mountain Equipment Co-op I got a water bottle since the one I have is broken. Choose a different style & color this time.
