 Some stuff I've been using and loving a lot lately:) 1)Love Liner Liquid Best liquid liner ever! 2)Flawless Magic Oil hair serum Bought this from one of those kiosks that always harass the customers in a mall...LOLZ...this was worth it though. Quite pricey so I don't use it all the time, but it does make my hair soft (which is quite a feat TBH). 3) Muji Cleansing Oil I've always loved Muji skin care stuff, and this is a new addition to my faves:) Really gets my makeup off! 4)Cerave Renewing SA Lotion Our family doctor actually prescribed this to my daughter when she was having really super dry skin and now, I'm the one using it...coz winter....sigh.... 5) Angel perfume by Thierry Mugler My all-time fave perfume. I tend to only wear this on winter though coz it's a heavy scent. What are your current faves lately?

Haul of the day

Image
 I rarely have shopping days where I buy multiple items in one go, but I got lucky with a sale at my fave store, and we were in a mall that had all the items I needed, so yay! 1. Clothing/Accessories sweatshirt and cap from Urban Outfitters (The sale was so good! I paid under $20 for both items! Wut?!?!) 2) Coola Sun Silk Drops My blogger friend Kim from A VERY SWEET BLOG  sent me a bottle of this awhile back, and my skin just totally loves this product. I think this has even improved my skin texture, so it's my fave moisturizer/sunscreen now. I just got another bottle. (They're pretty hard to find in Canada, but Holt Renfew does carry it so yay!) Oh Coola Sun Silk Drops...how I love thee! 3) Toner Another re-purchase for a fave product, the Muji Toning Water. And here's my super simple outfit. If you're gonna go shopping, you need to be comfortable! PS. Just in case you are interested in art, here's a product I did a video on: Any new hauls for you lately?

Beauty Faves 2023

 These are the beauty products I've been using for awhile now and can honestly recommend because they're amazing:) 1) Muji Skincare There was a period this year I was trying out different skin care products but unfortunately, they broke me out:( In the end, I ended up going back to these Muji products. I can honestly say Muji skin care products are really great, especially if you have sensitive skin. They are reasonably priced to boot! Muji Aging Care Moisturizing Milk and Light Toning Water 2) Make Up For Ever foundations I used to freelance as a makeup artist and even then, I've always loved the brand's products. Their foundations are great, and you honestly can't go wrong with any of them IMO.  (Here is my website if you are interested. I maintain it coz I still do makeup for friends and family.) Make Up For Ever HD Skin foundation What are your current beauty faves?

 1) Shawn Mendes Guys, if you follow me on Twitter , you may know this already, but my youngest and I, along with my younger sis, were able to go to the Shawn Mendes concert at Rogers Centre last Friday. It was his first in a big stadium, and being from the city (well, Pickering), it was a pretty big deal. It also lived up to the hype. It was awesome, you guys!  We were pretty far up on the nosebleed section (tix were so expensive and sold out really fast), but we didn't care. (I put up some vids on Twitter, in case you wanna see:D) We came super early! We went out for dinner first (my sis and DD). Singing Señorita with Camila This rose was a second stage set up in the audience area. It was pretty cool.  2) Fuller House I grew up watching Full House, but didn't really get to see this sequel until my daughter wanted to watch the series. We ended up binge-watching it. It just really made me nostalgic watching this show. (Uncle Jesse still has ...

Stuff I'm currenly loving:D 1) Bite Beauty lip products My mom gave me a sample of the lipstick in Chai and lip crayon in Glacé and I'm in love, you guys! I think I found two new Holy Grail products. Such nice texture and I love the colour. wearing the lipstick over the crayon  2) TreSemmé Keratin Smooth Colour Smoothing Serum I thought I'd give this a go when it went on sale at our local drugstore and I honestly think this stuff works just as well as the more expensive ones I used to buy. 3) Makeup remover sheets from the Japanese dollar store I ran out of my fave makeup remover sheets and wanted to try a new one that's super cheap and easy to find. This surprisingly does a good job and Imma gonna start buying these in bulk now:D 4) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure My sons really love this show and have been telling me to watch this for awhile now. I decided to give this a go when I saw it on Netflix, and it is soooooo good so far, you guys! I'...

Product Rave: When good is actually GREAT

Image
I rarely do a stand-alone product rave post, as I tend to try a lot of skin care and makeup, and frankly, I do like a lot of them.  There are a few, however, that surpass them all like  RCMA foundations , and the Son & Park Beauty Water . Today, there is a new one on the list. The Sunday Riley Good Genes deserve its own post and is right up there now with my Holy Grail products. I've heard a lot about Sunday Riley before, and all positive things about the line. I never tried it though because it's a bit expensive. When my older sister gave me the  Scouted by Sephora  kit for Christmas, I was excited to see all new-to-me products, and it had the Sunday Riley Good Genes that makeup artist Monika Blunder was raving about. Sooooo....long story short, I fell head over heels in love with this product as soon as I put it on. Ehrmahgerd! It's seriously a facial in a bottle . My face just loves this!  I have super sensitive skin and it does not like BHA at...

Just some schstuff I'm currently enjoying:D 1) Tokyo Style I first heard of this book when I was researching KonMari and stumbled on this New Yorker article . I was really intrigued and being a bit voyeuristic, I thought it would be great to take a peek at what normal and "real" Tokyo apartments look like, so I ordered this book from Amazon Japan. The book is in Japanese (English version is not as easy to find), but the pictures really don't need any explanation. 2) T aste Of Western China I first discovered this restaurant when my younger sister took us here during Boxing Day. Because of my husband's heritage, it's usually Cantonese Chinese food that we get to eat so the menu in this place is not something we are used, but man, my husband and I really love the dishes! lamb dumplings...nomnom 3) ColourPop Golden State of Mind palette This was a part of a Christmas gift from my older sis. Really love how pigmented the sh...

Random stuff I've been loving lately:)  1) Mittens I knitted This is the latest item I've finished knitting...the Jazz Hands mittens (pattern by Kate Davies). If you knit, I highly recommend this pattern. Very straightforward and easy to follow. I bought the kit from the designer's website. It did take awhile for me to knit this just because of other projects in between. I'm so glad though that I finished this though just in time for the winter. Jazz Hands mittens  In progress 2) Korean drama Voice I've been on a good streak lately with the shows I've been watching, and this one was also another winner. I should say that this is quite more violent than the shows I usually watch, but guys, the cast is really good and the story line is compelling. The lead Jang Hyuk also reminds me of Cha Seung Won (who I'm kinda obsessed with:D). image from Dramafever.com 3) Neogen Green Tea Fresh Foam Cleanser When we were in Florida for our Disne...
