Foodie + Makeup Haul Post!

HelllOoo wonderful blog readers! I am definitely back with a FOOD / Haul post! I mean everything below is pretty random, but I just enjoy uploading random photos anyway!

Let the food madness begin!!! LOVE!!

Two slices and lemon tea.. Awesome!



Check out this adorable laptop i spotted at Future Shop after crepes! Cost was about 700?.... Yikes!




So, some other day went to Cactus Club for some dinner


Butternut squash ravioli, so delish! ( Was cooked better this time!!)


My friends wanted to take out the rest of their food, and look at the cute boxes they gave!


Same week, I went to Nightmarket (some outdoor asian market that sells lots of things)

LOVE x55423432 my curry fish balls!!

Tiny, Tiny haul from Walmart! While browsing around, spotted a couple things I wanted to buy!


Clean and Clear sensitive skin astringent and makeup removers (2 for $5!) and also a wet n wild lipstick in Peachy?

Heres the horribly blurry swatch :)...

Also did plaid tips! Really fit for school!


Q u i c k i E r e v i e w !
C&C deep cleaning astringent (blue bottle): minimally effective toner for certain areas of the face.Please do not use this all over your face! It will massively dry it out! I use this for SMALL areas. The more you apply, the faster it can dry out ur skin. Under makeup that wont look flattering at all! 3.0/5

C&C Makeup removers: Pretty decent.. Its quite moist and removes most or all of your makeup. However I usually still cleanse my face real fast after I remove it with any wipes :) 4.5/5

Wet n Wild Lipstick: Smooth, but I find it still drying if you apply a thicker layer. The color I have is "peachy", and to me its definitely not peachy on my skin. It's more of a bright pink, with coral? but its definitely more on the pink side, and I find it very unnatural for school! I have no idea when
I'd intend on wearing this.. But lipstick wise, It is alright. I'll be fetching "bare brown" soon :) 3.0/5

Relevant to makeup, I also ordered a brush from coastal scents! Totally been wanting this brush for the longest time!



Kabuki on brush! Yay! Love this for liquid foundation.. (similiar to mac 109 but obv far from being the same.)

Lastly, ate some dinner while watching masterchef.


A snapshot downtown in Vancouver, some time not too long ago :)

DIY Avocado Honey Mask + Downtown Vancouver ( 2010)!

HOME DIY: A v o c a d o honey facial mask
-* I will try to upload more Home DIY's in the future when I can :)

Recommended if you : have Dry skin, want to even out skintone / smooth and clearness.
Not recommended for: Oily skin, if you want "radiance, and glow".
It could be Fine, (neutral for) : Sensitive skin, people with breakouts / redness.

An awesome mask to restore moisture, or to even out your skintone. (I'm not joking. ) Usually the BS about some masks is that "you will look like this after and sometimes it just doesnt live up to our expectations. But this mask actually did make my skin look more even, and my pores looked slightly smaller! It was nice! This mask is truly moisturizing especially with Avocado and Honey, which are both "moisturizing" ingredients. However, if you have oily skin, I do not recommend this.

What you need:An avocado, honey ( if too thick or its hard to mix), and a knife!

Start by cutting the avocado in half, and just use half of it unless you and someone else want to do it together, or if you do it again a few days later.

Scoop it out and mash it, ( blending is okay too, but its optional)

Now drop some liquid honey in the mixture, 2-3 drops should be ok!


Apply it evenly, avoiding hte eye area and wash off after 15 minutes :)

DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER ( 2010 Olympic week!)
Went downtown last week with a couple of friends. It was so exciting hearing Canadians cheer all out in the streets!

Passed by some Tsunami sushi place which was uber busy.. no seats until 50 mins... so we said screw it!
Stopped by a icecream / gelato store.. yum..

They also had really cute cakes.



Another shot of the yummy icecream. Ate it while walking back in the cold! x)


Was an awesome weekend! I love the thrill of the olympic spirit! GO canada! I'm gonna miss it so much :)

TOP 5 BLUSHES

Hello again fellow blog readers! I've been SOMEWHAT busy this holiday; been with friends and family. The follower feature on blogger has also been broken... anyway,

Reviews on my all time most favourite blushes! Not in any special order.




Daiso blush in... ???

This blush is so long lasting on my cheeks, and the shade is so pretty! I love wearing this for days where I want a simple glow, plus its in pressed form too! No messy powder.

Maybelline's dream matte mousse blush in Peach Satin

Now, do not be fooled by the way the swatch looks in the photo. It may look very pigmented, but it isnt. It gives a really nice sparkle to your cheeks, if you want to look more glamorous and sparkly!

Everyday mineral's blush in Snuggle

First of all, I never really LIKED this blush until recently. I always thought it looked kinda "fake" on my cheeks, but I would say this is similar to NARS orgasm. It's peachy - coral shade is really nice for that obvious, shimmery glow! Not natural imo, but still nice!! Love this blush~

Maybelline's mineral blush in Gentle pink

A blush that is NOT peach, nor shimmery. This color tends to give that dolly, baby pink look, that I love when I want to look more dramatic, since peach is a bit more natural. Its matte so it can look dull and a bit "dark" if I over apply. Not very into matte blushes in the first place, but I do find that they last much longer then shimmery blushes.

MAC's Perfect topping MSF

This product is my HG face shimmery powder! It is on the pricy side tho ($35 CAD). I'm obsessed with makeup that has a marble effect, but what I dislike is how the powder is so finely milled that it is so fragile! I probably would not ever carry this in my bag at all, which is a shame!
