*sighhh* SERIOUS lemming, and a lil about myself

-edit-
*sigh* as much as I love this list.. I'm going to stick to my normal hobos, :) I'll just put these on my Xmas wish list TEEHEE!! I think I'll learn more towards the Jimmy Choos, the Miu Mius, or the Michael Kors because those bags are more WEAR-ABLE.. I've seen some people carrying around those monogram purses such as Gucci, and they don't always match what they're wearing.. which is a big no no for me. I like my shit to be able to go with EVERYTHING I got. *sigh again* .... I need to invest in some sleeping pills. I'm having such a hard time sleeping lately.. it's not that I'm stressed or doing anything, but I just CAN'T shut my brain off while in bed. It's getting annoying.. and I've been getting headaches too..
-end edit-


Being the little bored child that I am, I was surfing the net for a new purse because the one I use is starting to get sorta worn (it's been through so much!!).

I generally stay away from expensive purses because I'm always too afraid of getting them dirrrrty you know? I'm QUITE the opposite of my little sister, she owns a new designer handbag (anywhere from 400-1000 bucks) every 2 months. However, we do share the same tastes in bags which is a plus if I ever want to borrow one. My mom's just as bad as my sister, if not worse. She has so many Dior, Coach, Fendi, Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci, and Miu Miu bags that my head spins whenever I see them. Seriously though, I only like Gucci, Dior, and Miu Miu out of all those brands. Well.. Miu Miu is actually a branched off version of Prada..

:) BUT.. I've got some money from my birthday and I've been thinking that maybe I should just splurge on one! I currently own 2 designer bags, one was a gift and the other I bought but mm.. I don't really use it (the juicy couture one from Vegas). I'm TOTALLY LEMMING for a new purse now!! To save.. to splurge.. that is the question. So far this is a list of purses that I want!

Ok you're obviously going to see that I'm an avid LOVER of Gucci, Miu Miu, Michael Kors, and Jimmy Choo!! The only things that I'm willing to shell out money for are shoes, makeup, and electronics. My mom would love if I got into purses (she doesn't know I already have an eye for them) but my dad would cry! EHHEHEHE!!

Ok so my most FAVORITE AND ULTIMATE LEMMING is the very last picture.. save the best for last no? ;)

Gucci classic $630, 2 of my aunts have this and it's SOOOOOOO cute!! A lot more room than what it looks like!

Gucci new spring $730, same as above but it's the new Spring print with hearts! Super fucking cute if you ask me!

Gucci classic $750, such a cute every day bag isn't it!?!


Gucci classic $2250 *drool* I WANT I WANT!!

Jimmy Choo $2195, I've been diggin patent leather lately



Jimmy Choo $2450, I've never owned a suede purse before!!


Miu Miu $1095 (old).... GOD I LOVE MIU MIU


Miu Miu $2000 *sigh*


Miu Miu under $1000, not sure of the price! But it's LOOOOOOOOVE!


Marc Jacobs $498, nice and plain!


Michael Kors $498 ISN'T IT SEXY???



Now the best...................

Gucci $1595


I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS BAG!! Ok, I did not discover this myself. My old co-worker Kristina Pham had gotten this as a gift from her (now ex) boyfriend and his family!! IT'S SOOOOOOOOO GORGEOUS LOOKING!! It can fit like... EVERYTHING in it and ... AHHH!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I could've sworn I had a picture of a Dior purse.. oh well.

--ABOUT ME--

Ok so for those who know me, you'll PROBABLY know this already. But it's a bigger explaination for those who don't. Let's talk about money.

I know for some who first see my blog, you're all like.. "OMG WTH where's all your money coming from?" because of my hauls (i think they're little but yea..) and maybe from the few trips I've posted up (more on myspace and my actual laptop not posted yet though). I'm not doing this to rub money in your face, that's not how I am, I just want you to get to know me more, to understand me more. If that leaves a bad impression then I'm sorry, I truly am.

Let's talk relatives. My grandfather, now deceased (rip), was someone I had always been closest to. He had always wished I was born a son, a "son of the dragon" as he'd always say, but he spoiled me ROTTEN nontheless. He taught me how to fly a kite and always used to carry me on his shoulders (he was a tall one I tell you!) and always took me on his motorcycle for fun rides no matter how busy he was with work. He owned a major part of the public transportation system in Taiwan, based in the Taichung and Taitung, but it runs to all the major cities in Taiwan, including the capital of Taipei. Chances are, if you've ever visited Taiwan or you're a native, you've ridden our buses. I don't think I need to post the name because I don't get much readers from Taiwan here anyway. He also owned quite a few acres of land and 2 houses, one in Taitung, and one near Sogo Mall, ahahaha, yes, I said Sogo! A lot of people fought for the house there after he died (seriously.. how rude) but he was pretty specific in his will that he was leaving it for my dad until me and my sister come of age.

OMG story about that. My dad's older sister was pissed because SHE wanted the house, because come on.. it's worth A LOT since it's located right across from Sogo. She tried to get my grandpa to change the will while he was DYING.. and was saying stuff like "oh, Stanley doesn't deserve it. He lives in the US and he's never here, I have 3 children while he only has 2, I deserve it, blah blah blah" but my grandpa wouldn't change it and so she went to my grandma and convinced her to let her and her children stay at that house for a short while. Well.. grandpa passed away, and my father told her she had to move out but she refused and demanded that he sign over the deed of the house to her. My father refused and she threw a HISSY FIT over the house!! My dad wanted to clean up the house and rent it out so that at least someone was using it and he'd be giving the rent money to his mom for her own personal uses now that she was widowed and because she doesn't work. Well.. his sister just became even more psycho and started spreading rumors that he was being selfish and this and that. My dad got so sick of how she was acting so he signed his part of the deed, and even said to her face that in his eyes, he doesn't have an older sister anymore (aka.. kinda disowned her if he could actually do that) and my mom had to co-sign it because she was his spouse.. HOWEVER.. my mom got so angry that my dad's sister was acting like such a fool, she refuses to sign it even to this day. She's leaving it up to me to deal with her.. great mom great. LOL. My grandpa also left the future of his company to my dad along with all his property but since my dad can't be in Taiwan 24/7 (he goes back for a month once every year), he runs it jointly with his second youngest brother (who looks like his twin, but shorter). Dad said to brush up on my Chinese because he's leaving all he inherited to me because he doesn't want the government to take over the business, along with it's stock holdings. I'll worry about that later on after a decade or so. LOL. My fathers side of the family are very stingy and advocate good education, so almost all the guys are doctors in Taiwan now and the girls (including my cousins) are nurses and secretaries.

My mom's side................... I'll have to dedicate a whole other post about that next time, it's not a happy story, especially lately. It's not a sob story either, it's just an eye opener that actually taught me something, and I want to spread that. It's the type of shit that you THINK only happens in the movies but no, it's real, as real as the fact that there are still members of the KKK in our modern day society.

People raise their eyebrows when I say that my parents own a golf store. They're involved in wholesale and retail. A majority of their money actually come from their international business, they constantly import and export shipments to lots of retail stores in Korea, China, Japan, and India. I grew up playing golf, obviously, which is a good thing I suppose, it's known as the sport of business. They said they'd leave it up to me and my little sister to decide whether or not we wanted to sell the business in the future, but obviously they want us to continue it. That's... a little difficult because my sis wants to become a dentist, she's obsessed with teeth! Me? As the oldest, I'm stuck with the family responsibilities.. so I'm forced to obtain an MBA.

My mom handles the actual business and the finances (VERY well might I add) and my dad is more the FACE of the business.. he draws in more customers and reps from companies. Daddy loves to play in golf tournaments, both for money and for fame. There isn't a single golfer around that doesn't know my father's name because he's actually considered a scratch player, his handicap is in the negative numbers, and for those who don't golf, the higher your handicap is, the worse you're considered at playing. It's hard be a negative. I'm so proud of my daddy!! Because of his tournaments, he's taken us to places like Mexico, Hawaii, etc! He went to Germany too but I couldn't go, I had school. :(

-.- Dad's main income is actually from bets and wagers among his customers and friends. On average, if he plays 2 times a week, he rakes in 3-4 thousand dollars a week. Sheesh. He never guys me anything!!

Ok I'm done with typing.

Sorry if it's so long!

Katie

ps- if you find it useless, oh well! My blog, not yours! I actually discovered it doesn't answer anything but whatevers, I wanted to share my family with you guys

HEHEHEHE this is what friends are for

:) obviously not makeup related.. but it's hilarious, so I thought I'd share it.

I decided to comment on my friend Jolynn's facebook wall because you know.. that's what friends do right? :) Friends are supposed to leave you nice little messages to wake up to!



So I come back and find that she leaves me a response!



:) You guessed it.. almost every month for the past.. I don't know, year I'd say? I've been leaving her a comment either on her facebook or her myspace, telling her, she smells like poop. Is this a reflection of who I am? Yea.. I'd say that's pretty accurate. =) Per my request.. this is the girl who taught me how to say "you penis is small" in tagalog. Shame on you for not knowing your native chinese tongue! Well actually I can't blame her.. her chinese half is from a smaller region in China where the dialect is starting to fade, hell even I don't remember what region her mom told me she was from!

AWWW i was deleting old yucky pics from my laptop to make more space for future purposes and lookie what I found!! I believe these pictures were taken during our first year together!





I swear.. the stickie machines here are SOOOOO over priced and the quality is so much crappier than the ones in Taiwan.. Like.. my wallet literally CRIES here(8-10 bucks each now??) and over there (equiv to a lil less than about 3 bucks), my wallet sings.

AHH I miss Taiwan.. it's been what.. 6 years or so? We're planning another trip soon.. god I'm going to get so fat. I don't know how my cousins stay so skinny (they're TWIGS COMPARED TO ME!!) No joke.. my cousin Xi Yi came over to visit for like.. 2 months, and she was like.. 1/3 my size.. then when she left, she was only 1/2 my size and she was complaining about how fat she was! WHAT???? I should upload a pic.. she's TINY.

Ok that's all for now!

Katie

ps- i get to see my bubby tomorrow!! YAYY!!

har har har!!

No real update from me, pictures from my birthday dinner with the family are still on my sis's cam.. stupid me forgot it in the car!! I'd type out the details but my fingers feel like ice right now!! Decided to stay home because it's sunday and FUCKING COLDDDDDD!! When it gets cold, I usually hibernate (no really, i can't wake up before 1 pm no matter what) and I get very unmotivated to actually go out. 

:( I miss my bubby! 

So I'll be staying at my parents' house for this whole week.. for some weird reason I had thought my spring break was 2 weeks long but it's really only this week.. and then bamm.. back to school. That being said.. I might cancel my plans to Avalon that's supposed to take place this coming saturday.. but weekend before school starts? My gut tells me it's not a good idea.. but then again, I'm a goodie two shoes type of person so you can chalk it up to me being a boring old fart.

My little sister, whom I usually only see once a week now, said my skin looks so smooth (even though we use the same foundation) that I don't look asian. She says I looked like some euro mix and I'm like.... euro mixes have fab skin? I have my doubts about the way she thinks but hey! I compliment is a compliment no? 

GOD .. fatass mode right when I finish school, I had a chocolate torte cake slice from Yoshinoya, ate some junk food I bought, had Chocolate coffee mochi cake for my bday, two good size smores, one chocolate cream puff from beard papa's or whatever that place is called, one lychee sakatini, one peach sakatini, half a mug of Sapporo beer (ewww.. I prefer dark but whatever)

sakatini is like a martini but made strictly with sake and soju, it's light and fruity. On that note, I leave you with an epi from my fav series of online shows, Chick vs Dick! If you haven't been watching or you don't know about it.. umm now you do! They talk with the same accent my mom's customers talk in! Not hard to understand :)

enjoy!!

Katie

FOTD

:) aloha my dear readers (.... if I have any left at all after that brief hiatus I had)

I took the last of my finals today!! HIZZAHHH!! Started at 4, finished at 6.. so not too bad, didn't need the whole 3 hours they gave us.

I'm officially done with school!! I only have one week off though.. then it's back to school on March 30. BOOOOO! I'm going to try to play with makeup as much as I can during my time off.

Ok so for todayyyy, I actually used the same colors for my eyes as yesterday, but tried making it a little darker to define it a little more. I really like this combo, it brings out my eye color really well! The only thing I changed was some face stuff because I wanted to use what I bought!! :D yeeee!!

uhh.. disclaimer.. ignore the hair as ALWAYS. I JUST finished blow drying it and it was flying all over the place like the un-tamed beast that it is.

"because we were kissing with our eyes closed so tight..."


:) frontal shot


bubby was trying to fix his hair teehee!


messin around actually produced a makeup-viewing picture!!


some cam whoring


:) ulzzang? Pretty damn close.



Eyes:
- Mac Blanc Type (lid, highlight)
- Mac Twinks (crease)
- Mac Embark (deep crease)
- Mark liquid liner in Cleo (top liner)
- K Palette pen liner (lower lash liner)
- Mac Lemon Chiffon shadestick (inner corner top lid, lower inner corner too)

Face:
- Dior Forever fluid foundie in 21
- Maybelline Dream Matte powder
- Mac MSF in Refined (as blush)
- Mac Emote blush (to contour)

Lips:
- Cargo Plant Love ls in Lindsay
- Mac Tricolored lipglass in Consume Me


ZZZZZZZZZZOOOOMMMMGGGGG!! I can't even begin to describe how much I love the LEMON CHIFFON SHADESTICK!! I mean.. I have like.. thousands of shadesticks from Mac already and lots of jumbo eye pencils from NYX.. and I love them all and shit, but THIS color is soooo pretty. Like I said before it's like a white creamy vanilla color tinged with a little gold. I used it in this FOTD as a base so my bottom liner will stay put even more AND so that I can use some white in my lower inner corner to make my eyes appear a little bigger. I usually do this with shimmery eyeshadows (like Sweet Lust in the last FOTD I did previously) and I try staying away from white eyeliners because I couldn't find one that blended nicely and didn't look so ridiculously unnatural you know? But this color is PERFECT FOR ME!! not only that, it helped my Blanc Type to show up even more above without looking TOO white yadig?

After my finals I went back to my apartment and took a nap.. woke up with my makeup still in tact WHEW!! Then went down to Westminster to return some stuff with the BF right before the mall closed.. a sweater dress I didn't post a pic of yesterday and the Viva La Glam Lipgloss.. I was thinking the color looked really familiar and realized I already HAD THAT COLOR. LOL.. wow.. I suck. HAHAHA! I was sooo tempted to get another Lemon Chiffon shadestick but decided not to. I swatched Butternutty to double check if I was right about not getting it and I confirmed it, a dupe would be NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Yogurt, although Butternutty is technically more frosty looking I suppose. MMM.. should I get another Lemon Chiffon??

Ahh.. so my search continues for Royal Hue.. I've been wanting that gorgeous purple shadestick since last year but it's hard to find anywhere else except Ebay.. and I don't want it from ebay. Oh well. Hope you guys like my look!!

Much love!

Katie

blog award!

awww, thanks to Sarah aka Motosays, I have an award!! ;) You sly minx you.

List 7 things that you love, and then pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you love! Be sure to tag them and let them know that they have won. You can copy the picture of the award and paste it on your sidebar letting the whole world know... you are Kreativ!


7 Things I Love...

1) spicy foods. The spicier it is THE BETTER.

2) cold days. I agree with sarah on this, I like warm days but I just hate it when it's overly hot and you have to deal with sweating and crap.

3) sleeping, probably because I generally don't get enough of it. Bubby thinks I sleep insane hours.. sometimes over 10 hours but those are like.. ONCE a week if I'm super tired.

4) colorful shiny things!! I can't resist shiny objects.. which was my downfall around 7th grade.. when I picked up a shiny ball that I thought was a silver foil marble thingy.. and I squeezed it because it was soft feeling.. and KABOOMMMMMMMM!! Burned my arm because some jackass had left a firecracker out for an idiot like me to find. My arm was in a cast for a whilllllle after that.

5) getting text messages. I might or might not respond but just getting them makes me feel all warm inside. Random ones are the best. Umm.. gross ones.. like pictures of poo in a toilet from my cousin.. are not ok. Ya true story. Gross.

6) makeup!! I LOOOOOOOVE collecting and playing with makeup!! well yea.. duh.

7) How cute my bf is being because I asked him what it is that I love so I could fill this up.. and he's saying dumb things :) awwww.

and the nominees are...

whoever hasn't done this. LOL!!

“This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.“When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real.

Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!”


10 Honest things about me:
1) my current password for a few things is exactly 16 letters long

2) I have OCD tendencies.. I do stuff without knowing sometimes like.. washing my hands before I go to the bathroom and after, washing my hands before I shower.. I don't allow hot foods in the car because I can't stand the food smell attaching to my clothes or in my car, I rearrange everything in cabinets because I have control issues I guess. HAHA.

3) I'm wearing white underwear right now with rainbow dots on it. :D

4) It's hard for me to throw things away. Things just build and build up in my car and room until it's like.. a war zone!

5) =D I have 2 disorders that I do not speak of but am currently dealing with. Both diagnosed by doctors, one is a sleeping disorder.. a sort of branched out version of Narcolepsy that according to the doc, is still relatively new and they have no idea how to deal with it, and the second.. it actually a mental disorder that only pops up when I stress or when I get even a little bit anxious or you know.. I'll let your imaginations run wild.

6) I love buying things for the people I like!! It gives me a sense of satisfaction!! See.. if they end up liking it, it just tells me that I know more about them and that I do know their tastes! :) It makes me happy!

7) My arms start to ache when I blow dry my hair.. too much .. hair..

8) I procrastinate like no other. I like to start my papers the day before they are actually due. I'm gonna send myself to an early grave from all the stress and time crunching I do. LOL!!!!

9) When I find something I like, I keep doing it or eating it or whatever everyday until I get sick of it and move onto something new. LOL!!

10) I hold grudges for like..... ever.

11) I love hitting my boyfriend's penis. Like.. really.. slapping it with my palm wide open. I know I know, that's so messed up right??? Sometimes when I'm near him and I make a motion to hug him, he backs away really quick and covers his crotch!! I think I may have given him some permanent mental trauma.

12) I used to be fat/overweight and for a short while, my family was convinced I was a lesbian?? WTH????

:D Yaaa! Finally done. i hate these types of questions.. you have to make up crap yourself. I like Q and A surveys!

haul....... again.

OIIIIII!!!!!1!1!1!!!!!111!!!!one!!1111!!11!

lol, if you're a nerd like me, that above will crack you up.

Ok so hoopla of hoopla's, I went out shopping today!! Umm yes I should be studying for my last final tomorrow.. but hey.. gotta keep myself from insanity you know? I swear.. I think I worked myself up too much over my final YESTERDAY.. and was so sleep deprived.. (studied 8+ hours, went to sleep at 3 AM, woke up lots of times, finally up at 7 AM, stupid construction next door, took test, stressing over next one, didn't sleep well again last night, got paranoid and thought someone else was in the room laughing..)

So. Retail therapy.

My Mary Kay oil free hydrating gel came in the mail!! I'll review it after a few days!!


The sample eyeshadow it came with in Bamboo


Nice nude color, hell of a lot smoother than Mac, which was WOAH to me


Wet Seal $4 bucks each!


Also from Wet Seal, $4 each!!


Wet seal had this area where the selection from there was buy 5 for $20, woohoo!

Ok, SUGARSWEET COLLECTION!

MSF in Refined, Tricolor lipglass in Consume Me, Viva La Glam VI, Shadestick in Lemon Chiffon


Swatches in the same order as above


Ok my thoughts on the collection. I know.. I have a lot of MSFs already but this one was SOOOOO PRETTY and not OVERLY shimmery!! To top it off, it makes such a pretty blush as well as a highlighter.. AND it was SOOOOOO smooth to the touch!! I can't resist MSFs. Umm.. ALL the tricolored lg were SO sheer to the point where I could put Simply Delicious on my top lip and Consume me on the bottom lip and they look EXACTLY the same. I only bought Consume me because it had that excellent glossy shiny effect that I love in my lipglosses. I know, I said in my previous post I was going in for the shadestick in Butternutty... BUT... when I swatched it, it reminded me too much of Beige-ing shadestick and Lemon Chiffon was just SOOOO much prettier.. a nice vanilla but slightly hued gold color to me. I love shadesticks!! I have a nice collection going for me.

Oh god.. the new Viva La Glam shades are a little too dark in my opinion. I prefer this older version. I already have a tube but I bought this as a backup because it's that nice baby rose shade that I love.

Ok so after we finished cruisin around Westminster mall, babe wanted to hang out with his friends Matt and Jason so we went over to their house. HAHAHA!! They got me presents because it was my birthday yesterday!! :) How sweet!!

Their mom gave me this. It's a mini pinata that says "Princess" on it. She bought this monster sized pinata that was literally.. the same height as ME.. for her mom who's coming over from Korea because it's her 70th bday, and she heard from Matt and Jason that it's my bday so she got it for me!! :) awwww!! ..... so .. anyone know how to put candy in it?


Matt got me the gift set for Davidoff's Cool Water perfume! mmm.. I've never owned this perfume before, it has a very nice calming scent to it!


HEHEHEHE!! Jason bought me this Domo-kun backpack and put a manga I'm missing in there! Yes.. I still read manga, go eat shit if you don't like it!


Ok so my look of the day!! I need to learn how to take better pics.. it seemed a little darker in real life.. and yeaaa you can tell I forgot to put on chapstick and my lipstick and gloss!!!! I look sickly.. let's just imagine that I have this super amazing color on my lips. :D ya?

Closed shot


Open shot! :( I got foundation on my left hair strands!! nooo!! hmm.. looks slightly washed out.. -.- need.. better.. lighting..


EYES:
Mac Twinks es
Mac Embark es
Mac Blanc Type es
Mac Retrospeck es
Mark liquid liner in Cleo on top lash line
K-palette 24 hour tattoo pen liner on lower lashline
Mac Spiked brow crayon

LIPS:
NADA.. as you can see.

Me and Christian went to Jason's work place to help them out a little bit and when I was going to the storage room, this lady came out of the locker room and said my eye makeup was gorgeous and asked how I did it. I asked if she knew what MAC was.. she said no. I said ohh.. and proceeded to close one eye and showed her where each color goes and what the colors look like.. she seemed fascinated but kinda lost.. like all she wanted to do was stare at my eye.. which was kinda uncomfortable after a while so I'm all.. BYE! =P


*SIGH*

I totally want to get this for my Blackberry Bold.. except instead of the pink, I want it to be a baby blue and daytona blue gradient around the crown. If I haven't already said it in this blog yet, I do have the intentions of getting a tattoo sometime soon. What of you might ask? You're looking at it. That crown, it's similar to the juicy couture crown they sometimes use. I want it right in the middle of my back between my shoulder blades but it'd be hard to hide from the parents.. even though technically it shouldn't be a big deal because my LITTLE sister already has one and they already found out a long time ago.


Isn't it GORGEOUS?????? *sigh* it's love.. I'm in love.. but not with the price. Just because it's swarovski crystals.. it's fucking $145!! RIP OFF!!!! A cute rip off though.

Ok that's all I got for today!!

Hugs, kisses, farts!

Katie

update! ya no.. seriously this time.

I finally took my dreaded final this morning.. and while I don't believe I went as low as to FAIL it, I have a feeling it's not the score I was aiming for.. even though I put in over 8 hours of studying for THIS one yesterday. Ahh well.. let's just ride the gravy train and forget it.

Hmm.. I was sooo excited for Sugarsweet but now that I've seen the swatches.. and played with the shit in my rather.. obscenely large makeup collection.. I believe I might just pick up only 2 things, Butternutty and .. iffy on the other.. but I guess I have to see them in real life to really judge right? The lipglasses are cute but Pursebuzz swatched them and they look SOOOOO ridiculously sheer but shimmery.. hmmm!!

Anyone ever eat at Class 302 near 99 Ranch Market in Rowland Heights? It has my seal of approval for authenticity. The meals there are served and taste EXACTLY the way the meals served in the bentos on Taiwan trains. The shaved ice there is very thin so you almost think you're eating an ice cream but then you realize it's ice! Tai hao le!! .. mmmm.. love tangyuan.. got the bf hooked on tangyuan when he first met me. EHEHEHEHE! Not like that shaved hawaiian ice crap. Another place that's famous for it's Taiwanese sausage and le xian cao is Sim Ba La, locations both in the city of Azusa and Rowland Heights. My mom's old high school friend actually owns both those stores so ya, call it shameless advertising but if you're in So Cal and you're Taiwanese.. I doubt I even need to tell you about Sim Ba La.

Soo.. the boyfriend and I went grocery shopping on monday at Mitsuwa as always.. by grocery I mean snacks because when I stress, I crave salt.

Some of my favorites.. the top right was a trial one, never had it before.. corn pottage flavored cheese sticks? Interesting.. the calbee shrimp flavored hot garlic are the best!! AND.. it was buy 2 for $1.99!!!


Ok so my haul.. it's not a big one but I'm pretty satisfied with what I got

Left to Right: MAC boybait lg, smashbox lg, Mac shy girl ls, Mark skinny dip ls, Mark pink crush lg, Mark sexy lg, Mark liquid liner in Cleo, Dior 260 (refill), Liole BB cream, Barbie loves Stila palette, Stud brow pencil (refill), Lancome Drama eyeshadow


The lips from left to right: Mac boybait lg, smashbox lg, mac shy girl ls, mark skinny dip ls, mark pink crush lg, mark sexy lg, dior ls, cleo liquid liner


The stila palette plus lancome drama shadow on the right


The samples.. woah. LOL!! Michael Kors new perfume sample, Dior Miss Cherie perfume sample, Bare Essentials Prime Time sample, Lorac Tantilizer sample, Murad Oil Free matte moisturizer, Ole Henriksen sleeping gel, Pink Sugar moisturizing mousse.


Left to Right: Mac Spiked brow pencil, Mac Stud brow pencil, Shu Uemura Hard formula brow pencil in Acorn. These are what I switch off using from time to time. I find Shu's to be the most natural looking but that's because it's a little difficult to apply as it requires oil from the hair on your brows to be present in order to activate it.. weird yes, good for avoid mistakes though (had a hard time getting it on my hand)


yeeeee!! Guess what the boyfriend was doing? Looking up how to create your own severed hand on a youtube video.. creepy..


We were bored and I didn't feel like studying on monday so we watched Infernal Affairs. The american movie The Departed was based off this series.


Soo.. then I decided to play with my long-neglected makeup that night. With school and what not.. I haven't been able to do ANYTHING to my face lately. Wanted to see if I was rusty! Well.. I was. I'm not that great to start out with but it came out aaaaaiiiite. Cheers!

Closed, sorry.. it's kinda sloppy.. I didn't clean up the shape very well :(


ignore the red eyes.. it was pretty late.

goofin off.. umm.. the bf caught me taking this pic btw.. it was so sad.




I can only guess what I used for my eyes.. I think.. Stud brow pencil for (obviously) brows, Lancome es in Drama, Mac Nocturnelle es, Mac Beauty Marked es, Mac Sketch es, Mac Sweet Lust es, Mac Solar White es, Mac Carbon.. oh mark eyeliner in cleo, obviously false lashes just because they're gathering dust, and uhhhhmmmm.. ooo, MUFE aqua eyeliner in black on waterline

Umm for my face it's just Dior Forever in 21, Maybelline Dream Matte powder, Mac Emote blush to contour, Nars Madly blush

For my lips it's Mac shy girl ls and Mac boybait lg

MMMMM.. I don't think I missed anything.. if I did, sorry!

Lookieeee!! 2 bucks for the ones on the left and 4 bucks for the ones on the right!! Both are packs of 24 nails!!


The right pack, I love how there's silver right below the white! I tried to do that to my real nails once.. didn't work out that great.



That's all, someone's buzzin my apartment!
