Q & A

Are those stickers on your laptop? Where did you get them? Do they come off?

Yeah, they're stickers. And I love them! I got them at the H Mart right by my house in Diamond bar. They have a little Morning Glory-like store there. They were like $3. They should come off just fine.. they're just stickers!

(Dior TM) Since there's SPF in it does it have that SPF smell?

I can't really smell the SPF in the TM. It might just be masked by the smell of the TM itself.

(Birthday Post) Cute dress! Where did you get it?

I got it from Guess last December. I loove that dress. Even though it's pretty short, it's tasteful.. and I don't look like a fat cow (:

From my Cbox

hi joey, your pictures quality are superb, just wondering what camera ur using.

I don't really have a great camera. It's pretty old; my stepmom bought it for me right before my senior prom. It's a Sony Cybershot DSC-T9 with 6.0 megapixels. I've been meaning to get a new camera, but I've been spending my money elsewhere.

hi again! how do you like L'oreal Colour intense liner? does it smudge or flake? oh! and the L'Oreal Telescopic liquid liner.

I love both eyeliners. There isn't much to differenciate them regarding the flaking or smudging, but the L'oreal Colour Intense Liner has a really cool tip. I hope this helps!

whats ur fav liquid foundation?

Honestly, I don't use any liquid foundation. I don't like the look of it, because it can easily look cakey (gross!). I stick with mineral foundations (I love MAC's loose mineral foundation), or tinted moisturizers (I recommend the Dior TM or for less coverage, Stila).

That's all the questions I found in the last couple of posts, but take this opportunity to leave any other questions you have so I can have a complete question and answer post. Thanks!

Picture of the Week

Well, I have some Q&A to answer shortly, and I think that I have some FOTDs to dig up somewhere in my pictures folder, lol! I know I have stuff I haven't posted..

SO SORRY ):

I've been MIA lately.. and I blame work and my laziness. Things at work have been super hectic because the powers-that-be are totally shifting shit around. Responsibilities are being placed in different hands, and positions changed. I (unfortunately) still watch my little half-siblings at lunch and snack time, but the responsibility of watching the front desk is added on to my list of shit to do. And other projects.. like putting together 100 information packets with our shitty copy machine. SO FRUSTRATING! ):

And plus. I left my camera at my mom's house. Lame. But I will be back next week, I promise. I have to update you guys on the horrible time I had at Universal Studios ): haha.. Not really.. but yeah.

Have a great rest of the week and weekEND!

P.S. I'll try to answer questions soon. I know people have asked a bunch of little questions. I'll answer soon!

Review: Dior HydrAction Tinted Moisturizer

I rediscovered how much I love using tinted moisturizers over foundation. I was perusing my local Sephora store and wandered to the Dior stand. I got #2. Can I just tell you that I'm in love with this?! haha. On to the review..





Where to buy: Sephora stores, Dior counters
Price: $38
What they say: Dior HydrAction Deep Hydration Skin Tint SPF 20 is a velvety, sheer face tint with ultra-fine pigments and light-reflecting micro-pearls. This luxurious texture creates a natural veil of fresh color and radiance, for the illusion of bare skin with the promise of perfect hydration. It corrects imperfections, evens the skintone, and also contains a SPF 20 sun protection and the irrigating Aquacapt™ Complex to reinforce the skin's natural moisture reserves all day long.

I wanted to take a picture of only half my face with the TM on, sans mascara.


Closeup on my cheeks to see the difference. You can see red spots and some more freckle things, and uneven skin tone. Please excuse my disgusting dark circles.


It's all covered, and even.. (: yes!


Full face (and mascara)


With concealer, blush, and lip gloss.


Near flawless (:


What I found: It gave amazing coverage without looking cakey. It almost gives off a ethereal glow. For more even coverage, I use my MAC 187, or any duo stippling brush. It really helps with the airbrushed look (as we all know). The SPF 20 that comes with it also is a huge plus! There is a bit of a smell to it, though. It's sort of floral-y, but it's not too overpowering. Some may find it distasteful, but I don't mind it much. I just really like the coverage without really wearing foundation foundation.
Would I buy it again? Yes.

FOTD w/ Dior Palette - Purple

I tried out the Dior palette a few days ago. I loove the colors. I used only three of the colors.. but it's gorg! The look is fairly soft, but I'm going to try other looks with this palette. The colors are much more pigmented and less powdery than other Dior e/s I've tried before.

Another Haul & a Gift from Fuz!

I went to Sephora again with the Bestie earlier this week (: I just didn't upload the pictures yet.. Too lazy (: teehee. I didn't get much, but I love what I got!

Dior 5 Couleurs palette in 970 Stylish Move, Dior Eye Show e/s in 622 Undressed Beige, and Burberry Brit Sheer perfume.


I LOVE this palette! & Purples are so in this fall.


The colors look much more pigmented with a base under them, but aren't they pretty??


This is kind of a cream e/s. It dries super fast and DRY. No cakey-ness here.


The shimmer is super pretty.


Burberry Brit Sheer perfume. I love this fragarance. It's really light.. with a tad bit of floral scents, and the citrus that I love. The bf loves it too (: & he's pretty picky with the perfumes I use.


The bottle is super cute too! Sheer pink?? Love it!

A gift from FuzKittie came by DHL yesterday! So sweet (: She sent me a pink Kate palette, a shimmer block sort of product.. I can't find what brand it is.. maybe Muji? And a note.


This palette is soo pretty! It's totally perfect for a Fuz-inspired soft look (: And the cream e/s on the very right is really nice. Very different from cream e/s that usually come in palettes.. it's super light but still has color.


With flash.


Without flash.


The Muji(?) shimmer block kind of product, haha.


Pretty, right?


That's it for my hauls lately. I swear I have some FOTD's coming AND some reviews.

Happy Friday!!

Haul!

I visited my local Sephora sometime last week with my bestie (: And this is what I picked up!

Dior Hydraction TM in #2 Natural, Smashbox Photofinish Primer Light, Givenchy Phenyomeyes mascara, some more Rosebud Salve, and the Anastasia Brow Pen.


Out of their boxes.


Closeup of the Dior TM.


Phenomeyes mascara! I've been hearing rave reviews about this. I've tried it a few times, and I like it a lott. I'll post up a review sometime soon.


The TM blends so nicely into my skin. I rubbed it in right next to the smear. It's invisible (: but in a good way. & a squish of the Photofinish Primer Light.


My dress came in the mail from Bluefly.com! Kitty was like.. "What's in there??" teehee (:


My mom's co-worker is getting married on the 18th, and she's dragging me along. So I told her that if I go with her, she has to buy me a dress (: hehe. It's a Tadashi. I laav the color. But the length sort of makes me look really short and weird.. so I'm going to hem it a few inches from the bottom so it hits me right at the knee.


Well, I hope everyone is having a good Thursday! I have some FOTD's coming your way (:

FOTD - Green & Gold

I tried out something different yesterday, and I like the shape that I ended up with. It seemed to change my whole eye shape (when I blinked! lol). I'm probably going to experiment more with this, instead of my usual crease shape.

I love how the shape looks! teehee.
