Harroooo!!

Hi everyone!

I'm finally back from my vacation. My luggage got lost so I'm hoping that they'll find it today. I only had my backpack on me and thankfully my house keys so haul posts will have to wait.

My trip was fantastic and I'm sad to leave the wonderful people I met in Seoul (which was my last stop) and not to mention my boyfriend but its nice to be 'home' after such a long time away. I might do a trip recap post with some photos but I haven't decided yet. Comment if you're interested I guess :).

Hope your week is going amazingly!

Review: Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

I long for the day when I will have long lustrous lower lashes. Of course, being Asian that day will never come  so I begged the Make Up Gods to take pity on me and they answered with the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara.

Review: NYX Powder Blush in Angel


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

I went a little crazy a while ago and bought some NYX blushes from Cherry Culture's website. It was the semi-annual 25% (or was it 20%) off NYX event and since NYX is hard to come by in Canada, I might have gone a little crazy....and bought nine blushes. Yea..oops. In my defense they were only $4.50 or so each. Today I'm going to review Angel.

Review: John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Moisturizing Conditioner


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

A couple of years ago I went through a whole process of trying to revamp my hair care routine. I was noticing that my hair was getting super greasy throughout the day and I thought switching up my shampoo/conditioner combo might help. During the process, I found John Frieda's Brilliant Brunette Moisturizing Conditioner and have stuck with it ever since. This stuff has is made of magic. For serious.

Makeup Removal Routine


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

Taking off your makeup everyday is really important for keeping those pores unclogged and your skin clean. I'm really a stickler about this and even after a long night when I'm coming in at 3am I'll still wash all the make up off my face and properly do my nighttime skin care routine. Using makeup can help you look great but its no good if bad skin is why you're using makeup in the first place. Here's my makeup removal routine!

Review: Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo, Condition and Hairspray


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

When I go on vacation I usually take the opportunity to bring sachets of samples to use. They're portable and sometimes come in the exact amounts you need for the trip. I had blindly grabbed a shampoo/conditioner sachet when I went to Montreal last August not realizing what it was. When I blew my hair dry I was sort of surprised by how voluminous my hair turned out! I looked at the sample and it was the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner.

Everyone knows and loves the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners but I wasn't able to try them out until
recently and I am seriously loving the one in Demolition.

Review: Indeed Labs Eysilix Eye Cream


indeed labs eysilix eye cream review instant eye rescue
I'm always a bit skeptical about eye creams. Really they just seem like overly expensive specialized moisturizers which are unnecessary. Some don't do much other than moisturize while others make amazing claims about de-puffing and brightening and don't quite deliver. So color me happy when I found something that actually worked!

I've been using another MBD mask lately just because I've gotten a few pimples popping up and wanted to see if a mask might help.
