shit nuggets.

I forgot to post about my getting lost story. Oh well, next time!

I'm not forgetful, I just like to waste time walking.

Ok.. let me tell you what's going to be in this entry because it's a mix of lots of things. HAHAHA my entries can never be short can they? To be honest.. you can blame that on my cousin. I have no cable here in my apartment because it cuts down costs and we wouldn't get distracted from our studies. RAWR! I miss my CSI Las Vegas! WTF is up with CSI New York? I'd pay NOT to have cable just to keep myself from watching that show. YUCK! 

Ok sorry, off topic no? This entry will be about what I use in my daily skin regimen! My recent haul from MAC's Suite Array collection (plus other stuff)! The story of how I get lost very easily! The recipe for the "quick college student not good for you but so good food".. ok when you see the picture it's a no brainer but I've just been too lazy to cook ANYTHING. I'll get up to do it.. but then I change my mind and opt for something quick. Alright bitches, let's get this thing goin! It's not going to be in any specific order.

Oh, and a big HELLO to my new frequent readers! I noticed I've been getting some page hits! I'm glad you guys like my stuff! 

-Skin Regimen-

1. Make up remover: Mandom Cleansing Lotion Moist

I love this thing SOOOOOOO much ever since I got it when I saw it on Anne's and Pink's blog. It's only 11 bucks and it really gets the job done. Smell nice and there's no oily residue which is one thing I HATE about make up removers. No break outs either!

2. Face wash: Softymo Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam

I've gone through one tube of this and I have another in my drawer. It's pretty good and does a good job of making my face feel squeaky clean. It's not that whole "super dry" feel but you KNOW your face is clean. It was only 6 bucks and I love cleansers that foam. I hate the oils and gel type. I had also gotten it because it was awarded the Taiwanese beauty award in 2006 from some magazine. No break outs yet! WOOHOO!! 

3. Toner: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel

I used to use Nivea and while that was ok, this was just better. I love the smell of roses too. This is 10 bucks and it even has aloe vera in it! So if I have a sun burned face, I suppose it wouldn't kill me to still tone it.. although I never get burned on my face. LOL. As you can see, I'll need to get a new bottle soon. Oh.. but the packaging kinda sucks. The cap on top doesn't hold the liquid in well and tends to leak if it's on it's side or something. I'm not sure if it's just THIS bottle.. or if they're all just poorly made.. but be careful as you'll lose a lot of the product.

4. Moisturizer: Chanel Precision Hydramax + Active Cream

LOVE THIS LITTLE BITCH TO DEATH! Ok, don't have a heart attack over the price.. of 65 bucks. I know I know, how could I spend so much on LOTION FOR MY FACE? I love the scent.. it's a fresh scent, nothing too strong. It hydrates my skin without making me oily or breaking me out. I used to use drug store moisturizers.. but I got so many blackheads and clogged pores from them! Break outs, you name it! I've tried a lotta things.. Cetaphil, Earth Science, Nivea, etc etc.. they just didn't agree with my face. This stuff is awesome and I'm sticking to it!

5. Acne fighter: Clean and Clear Invisible Blemish Treatment

My cousin introduced me to this like 2 years ago. On those rare occasions where I have a small bump or two, mostly from my period (ladies can agree!), this is the little darling that stays in my purse. It's like 6 bucks and lasts forever because you only need a little bit for your pimple! LOVE IT. Better than Origin's blemish fighter.. that shit stung too.

So there you have it. That's how I keep my face alivvvvvve.

-Haul-

My recent haul. PSP Lite with 8GB, Dior eyeshadow duo, more perfume, Mac eyeshadows, 227 Brush.

Top to bottom: Smoke & Ash, Shallow v. Deep, Counterparts, Blue Zone

my Felicia Blue psp imported from Japan

Ok I know I've mentioned the blue psp before, but I haven't really gotten a chance to play with it yet. I got it a week ago but my boyfriend had it for a few days to put games on it for me. Visually, it's a lot crazier than my DS light.. but I like my DS lite better right now. 

-The Food-

TADAAAAAA!!!

Ok ok before you get all "that's SO instant noodle!" on my ass, I'm going to say you're right. But the only thing I used was the actually dry noodle.. I threw everything else away. I'll show how I made it later because I'm making it again tonight (no food in apt, I'm too lazy to go grocery shopping)

Oh and my boyfriend is such a fag! He's just ASKING TO GET KICKED IN THE NUTS! Imagine trying to change so you can go out to dinner but he says OH LET ME SEE YOUR CAMERA.. sees the picture of my makeup junk (obviously) and then starts snapping pics of me CHANGING MY CLOTHES! WHAT A PERV! Little punk ass kept saying "oooo! That's going into the car forums!" or "ahhh! I feel artistic! Nudes!"..... friggin cum guzzler! 

When I snatched it away. I look like the girl from the ring when she comes out of the tv.. only with nicely dyed hair and no pants. 

oooooooh. ahhhhhhh! Don't you just hate it when you can't blog about something? It's killing me! I'll get in so much trouble if I keep typing. It sucks when there are people who snoop around just looking for trouble because they're BORED! :( hmph. They rob me of my blogging freedom. That's ok, I'll just gossip with my friends. It'll be great. ;]

like the bomb go tick tick! make up review.

What's upppppppppp everyone! Just a quick blog today, as I'm going to go out again soon. I just got out of my last class today. Uhh.. so the only book that I REALLY needed this week (by tmrw) was my lab course workbook.. but the bookstore is OUT OF THEM! 3 days into the quarter!! I hope I don't need it but he did say to bring it tmrw.. oh well. I got every other damn book that I didn't really need YET! Better safe than sorry no? 

I'll post pictures of my tiny makeup haul from the Suite Array collection by Mac. I didn't touch  the Gold stuff and no Cremesheen for me either. Oh and I'll also post up a picture of what I cooked up last Friday before I went back home to Yorba Linda. I call it.. the "quick college student not good for you but so good food" ehehehehe.

Oh here's what I think of Make Up Forever HD Foundation

Price: $40

My color: # 120

Used: about a week and a half now

Location: select Sephoras (costa mesa, LA, etc)

Pro: Well.. your face looks nice in pictures, which is really what it's meant to do. It's not GREAT as you can achieve that same nice look by other means but I guess having that flawless skin effect in pictures by using a simple bottle of this is nice too. The consistency of this is a lot easier to blend than their Mat Velvet Plus foundation and their color range is a lot larger. 120 was a PERFECT match for me!

Con: It doesn't last for shit. It doesn't hold up well when you sweat let alone stand in humidity. Even on a decent day, it just kinda fades. Staying power = NILL! Careful if you rub yo face because it WILL come off. Oh and only a few hours into wearing this, you'll get a little greasy. Around your nose, T-zone, etc. I also didn't like what I saw in real life. Pictures are one thing but the mirror is another. While the color is perfect, it looked like it was just SITTING on my face.. it wasn't nature and it didn't make my skin look flawless. I prefer Mat Velvet Plus over this one. Oh and I have these pimples poppin up on my forehead and parts of my face just RANDOMLY.. I'm not sure if it's the foundation but after I stopped using it, they went away, so who knows. 

Buy again?: No. I haven't even finished the bottle yet and I already know I'm not going to use it again, unless I put on some mineral foundation on TOP of it (weird i know). Yes I've tried setting it with my loose matte powder but my face looks a lot better with other foundations. Not worth the price either. Mat Velvet Plus is $34 and it's also 1.01 like the HD foundation, so it's cheaper AND water resistant, which is a plus. I don't LOVE Mat Velvet Plus but it's the second best foundation I've tried next to Dior Forever. 

Why don't I use Forever anymore? Well.. I do, it's just that it's $42 for 1 oz.. so it's kinda pricey. But it's waterproof, has spf 25 and EXCELLENT coverage. Not for dark skinned ppl though, as their darker shades are more orangey. 

Okey dokey I'm done blogging, time to do something else! Ta ta!

Katie

hellooooo and about my face.

Greetings from LA my loves!

Izu- I've gotten your comments of COURSE! :D 

Aprecia- Thank you, you're so sweet! You know what would be the WEIRDEST chocolate? The corn flavored chocolate I ate.. mixed with the curry & spices chocolate that you heard of. *shudders*

Alrighty then, just a quick blog for now as it is 1:28 AM and I have to wake up at 8 AM tomorrow for schoolio, I've come to the realization that I am getting bug bite-like bumps on myself! My cousin and I haven't really been coming to the apartment we share for a month or so.. so nothing's been vacuumed. I've been sprawling out on the carpet everywhere almost all of yesterday and today so since I'm allergic to dust and certain materials (down, feathers, furs).. I think I'll be keeping my contact with the floor to a minimum. OMG! So you guys remember my old post with pics of my empty apartment? It looks so much more homey now! Hurrah! 

MUFE HD Foundation in 120

I've wanted to try this foundation ever since it came out and so.. I was down at South Coast plaza to get a refill of my powder and thought you know what? Why not! I LOVE the huge color range. I can't really say much about it yet as I've only used it for 2 days. Color's nice and lasting power is pretty strong though. We'll see how this works out for me or maybe I'll just default back to my Dior Forever.

Oh in case anyone wonders what the hell I slap on my face everytime (I get comments, compliments, inquiries all the time).. I really do just switch it up everytime I find something interesting. First it was like this..

Dior Forever in 021 (031 in summer)

Mac Studio Tech concealer in NC30

Then finished off with just Mac blot powder in Medium

That was a while ago. I've changed a few things up since that regimen as I've just found things that suited my skin better. For a little bit I used Urban Decay, and as good as that color was, I ended up with this greasy look after a few hours even though I wasn't sweaty or feeling oily. It was weird. As of July, I've started trying out new things. 

Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer/Highlighter in Medium

Mac studio tech had great coverage but it got cakey sometimes and broke me out.

MUFE Super Matte Loose Powder in 16

I used to be 20 in the summer but my tans never last.

So there you have it. My "skin" AHAHAHA!! Ok no really, I won't deny that I have good skin as I've inherited that from my mom along with her small boobies. Oh, I HAVE tried the MUFE powder over my Dior forever.. and it just looks too much. Like.. you can TELL there's shit on your face. I prefer that whole natural thing you know?  

Ok, I hope the pictures livened up this blog. It was too full of words. 

School's ok. Campus is still too large for me to memorize. :( 

Have a great day everyone!

Katie

Moving.

So today's the day!

I will finally be permanently living up in my little LA abode. I bought some groceries to bring up there yesterday, and by groceries I do just mean a junk food mixed with one or two veggies. I'm going to make real curry there, and fan the scent to my next door neighbors to show them what real curry should smell like, not that junk they make that stinks up the WHOLE FLOOR!! Imagine the smell of like.. curry powder, tabasco, and socks all mixed together. That's the smell you get when they cook. *shudders*

I'm kind of scared about starting school. I had gotten so used to being at Mt. Sac that I had forgotten I wasn't going to stay there. I had made so many friends and I could walk to a class with my eyes closed. It really is a nice place, it has a really HOMEY feel to it compared to other JCs and CCs. But we all gotta move on sometime or another in our life right? (especially when you have demanding parents who settle for nothing less than harvard or shit)

UCLA here I come. Sorry UC Berkeley, you have too many weirdos there and your environment can kiss my happy ass. I do SORT OF regret rejecting that letter of acceptance but hey, my family is full of Bruins so what could I do? oh and YES SCORE YES WHOOHOO!!!!!! I've officially brainwashed my little sister into going to UCLA instead of USC.. after her bf brainwashed her into trying to make it into USC because you know, he's just a condom head (trojan) like that. So hopefully she'll be joining me next year.

Ok so I just wanted to talk about some Corn flavored chocolate. I had some when the Mitsuwa here in Costa Mesa had a Hokkaido fair. I know that sounds nasty but it's really good!! I should have bought more. I threw away the box so I can't really show a picture of it.. and it's not on google so RAWR! This sucks! LOL! Ok time to get ready.. got a lotta stuff to do today.

Katie

Not makeup or rant related

HAHAHAHA!!!! Milf vs. Dick Shrinker

:) I don't like politics but this skit made me laugh. Hope it makes you guys laugh too! 

Katie

Fire in your freakin hole.

Ok, I KNOW I'm not the only one who does this. What am I talking about? Crushing up packets of dry instant noodle, pouring the seasoning in, mix mix mix, and eat as is. Is this bad for you? HELLS YEA~! But it's SOOO good. I've been doing this since I was a child and one of my top fav ramens to crush up was SHIN RAMEN. 

This shit is THE best. I mean, what's better than ramen that can burn your tongue off? I just finished a packet a few minutes ago and my tongue is still burning! Hell, I just ate candy and all I tasted was SPICES!! 

If this is so bad for us, and just TOO spicy for us, why do we torture ourselves like this? I'll tell you why! Because we can! 

 SHIN SHIN SHIN SHIN!! 

hahaha.. looks like I almost typed shit. :)
