Welcome back!
Hey everyone, i know its been awhile since the last time i blog, just so busy with many things and haven't caught up blogging! Well i just want to say that i am back! Just want to say Happy New Year to those that follow my blog these past years. My new year resolution for this year is to blog, blog, blog! =] Just blog about everything, my travel trips, beauty, fashion, photography, and everything else! I been traveling to a couple of places these past months since summer, and wanted to share with you all where i went(That will be posted later). So please stick by me all the way! I really need your support to make this blog better!
My second new year's resolution is to also carry out my interests more. I love photography for a long time but never really got a chance to do anything about it. So this year, i am saving up money for a camera and lens to start off my "obsession" LOL. For now i am using my BF's camera. I been playing around with it this past month and i am LOVING it! I have a Flickr website and will posting that up for you all to see soon.
Anyways, back to beauty, i really admired Rhianna's makeup whenever she's on red carpet. So this is one of the inspiration i found really chic and cute on her and wanted to try it out for myself.

Eyelashes update!
Hey girls, I've been trying Revital lash product for quite awhile now and realized that it is such a great product for those who has shorter eyelashes. For me, I have short, thin hair lashes. But since I use Revital lash for a couple of months, i do see results! I was a bit skeptical but tried it anyways! Here are the results...
Sorry I dont have a before picture, I kind of lost it somewhere...=] But here are the older posts I did regarding my eyelashes review. CLICK Here
Product Rating: 4/5
-If you want fast results for thicker, longer lashes, this product might not be for you. This baby takes at least 2 months for results. So if u have patience then I recommend it!
I also heard good reviews of LI LASH, anyone used it yet?? IF yes let me know how it turns out!? =]
This is a great mascara that I am currently using, its inexpensive and super waterproof! My lashes curl so well with this mascara. Its MAX Factor waterproof mascara in Hydrofuge.
You can see how thicker and fuller it looks in my pictures. (above & below)

Sebum makeup remover review
Hey girls, sorry its been so long since i post anything, its just some difficulties on my blog layout and seems like nothing is updated eventhough I do write new post. But somehow it doesn't get update on other bloggers site when they added me on their bloglist. So I kind of got discourage to write now! =[
Anyways, this month is pretty busy cuz I got 2 midterms and so many homework that I dont even have time to blog. However, I am on my spring break now and taking my time to chill. =]
I went to Marukai supermarket in Costa Mesa couple days ago and got this Sebum makeup remover that I heard many good reviews about. It was on SALE for only $9.80 something...online they sell if for $13.00 not including shipping!
So I got really excited and got 2 of them. They had 3 different type of removers but couldn't understand Japanese so I got the one the many people do reviews on.
It does feel like water, theres no oil residue. Removes my makeup well!!! I think I am gonna start to fall in love with it! =]
This is my results...( I had a photoshoot that day and wanted to try it out how well it removes my makeup) You be the judge!!!

School girl doll look and ebay haul
Hey guys, sorry its been awhile. I did a haul for a last couple weeks and wanted to just do a review on them once. Thats why it took a while because I had to wait for it all to come at once. Anyways, I bought a 120 Manly e/s palette, 28 blush palette and the 66 lip palette on Ebay. The 120 palette comes from a different seller. But the other two is from a different seller. If you want to know where I bought it from, please email or comment me, I will link you to there.
The look I am going for today is doll look using all my palettes that I bought! All the colors are so pigmented as you can tell in the pictures. I am in love with my lip palette and my blush palette! They were actually better than what I expected from them. If you are interested in the product, I highly again recommend it! =]
What I have on:
FACE:
-Mac select foundation in NC40
-Pressed powder
-Pink blush using my 28 blush palette
EYES:
-Bare study paint pot as a base
-using 4 colors on my 120 manly shadows
-coastalscent gel liner in black
LIPS:
-66 lip palette
-clear gloss
