[life] Make Up For Ever - 5 Camouflage Palette Cream

my birthday splurge... I need concealer anyway, can't wait to start using it!

[lifestyle] Bauble Bar - Necklace - 3rd Buy

This is my 3rd time purchasing accessories on Bauble Bar.  I told myself, if something needs fixing again, this will be my last.  Should I be relieved that everything came in one piece this time?

Graduated Gem Strand - Blue

Pave Angle Pendant - Black 

These two were on sale during the time, and thanks to Tiffany D (MakeupByTiffanyD) I had a 20% coupon code! ^^

I have to say, I do love the styles on Bauble Bar, but it's hits & misses.  Often, especially the ones with crystals, you would need to do some extra work - glue, retouch, and make sure it doesn't fell out of the necklace.

I'm going to wait for another discount code available to purchase from Bauble Bar again.  :)

[lifestyle] Popsugar Must Have - June Box

I think with the theme of summer, the brochure changed as well.  Although it's smaller, but I actually like it. 

This month I received:

1. Emily Giffin Book - The One & Only

I have heard of her, but never read her books before.  It's nice to have a chance to read and it's hard cover!

2. Sachajuan - Shiny Citrus Body Lotion

I like the smell!

[lifestyle] Popsugar Must Have - May Box

This month's a bit disappointed.... not my favorite...

This bottle box has been a hot topic online these days, and it's sold out everywhere! It's the best one in the box this month! (Although I don't know when I'll use it!!)

[beauty] MEMEBOX - Nakedbox #2

Got my 3rd Memebox today!

Memebox recently came out a new kind of box -- Nakedbox.

Nakedbox has all products revealed in advance so we can pick the box that we wanted!

So excited!!

I really like Memebox BOX! pretty sturdy and I can use it again.

Also, it came with this fabric bag that have all the products inside so it doesn't move all over the place during shipment.

[lifestyle] Popsugar Must Have - April Box

From the look of it, I'm going to love this box!

This month I received:
1. Must Have Fashion - Blueavocado (ECO) Shopper 


This eco bag is so pretty!!

2. Must Have Beauty - Too Faced Natural Eyes


It is a full-size palette with gorgeous neutral colours!

[lifestyle] Popsugar Must Have - March Box

Here comes my favorite box of the month!! 

This Month I received:

1. Must Have Food - Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps

2. Must Have Fashion - Brokendown Blue Ikat Scraf -- This scarf is so pretty!

3. Must Have Fashion - Dogeared Lucky Horseshoe - Make a wish necklace

4. Special Extra - Nature's Bakery - All natural strawberry fig bars

[lifestyle] Popsugar Must Have - February Box

This month I received:
1. Gorjana Brooks - Jewelry Roll
I like the color, but, it's not very useful though.  Although it's very nice to use this to protect the jewelries, but it's kind of big to travel.

2. ModelCo - Lip Pops Duo Lip Gloss and Lipstick
This is a very nice neutral color lip gloss + lipstick.  I'll put it in my makeup bag.

3. Nourish Organic - Pure Hydrating Argan Face Serum
This smelled really nice.  However it's not very eco friendly in a sense that the wrapping box is twice the size of the bottle.

4. K Hall Designs - Peony Travel Candle
I often see people carry candles with them while travel, maybe I should try that next time?

5. Sugarwish - Mini Red Cinnamon Hearts
There's a lot of cinnamon hearts.  It'll probably last until next valentine :P

6. NCLA - Redeo Drive Royalty Nail Polish
2nd nail polish of the month.  I love the red!

7. Dial - Vitamin Boost Body Wash
This is the bonus item for February.  A lot of people didn't like this item, as this doesn't really match what popsugar normally offers.  However, I figure, it's a bonus item, no reason to complain. :)

[lifestyle] Popsugar Must Have - January Box

I really enjoyed December box, so I kind of feel ....although I like this box. but it's not as exciting.  

This month I received:
1. Must Have Food - The Juice Generation Book
OK... this will be useful if... IT'S SUMMER!  It's middle of the winter now, I don't think I'll be making juice anytime soon...

2. Must Have Food - Pipsnacks White Truffle Pipcorn
We had popcorn last month... 

3. Must Have Beauty - Malin + Goetz Detox Face Mask
Love to give it a try! The instruction said "The five-minute foaming gel...." 5 mins + foaming?  So.. I'll be standing in my bathroom with eyes closed for 5 mins so foam will not be all over my eyes or floor? hahaaa

4. Must Have Beauty - Revlon by Marchesa Box O'Files
It'll probably take a life time for me to use up this box....

5. Must Have Home - Rifle Paper Co. 20414 Flip Around the World Desk Calendar
I LOVE THIS!

6. Must Have Fashion - Jack + Lucy Tech Gloves
I actually just saw this on TV or magazine the other day, and I got it this month! Too bad, it's a bit too big for me.  I might bring it with me to Korean in March.

[life] Crazy Xmas Shopping #3 - Body Shop

Can't achieve this without the help of my BC-LINE friends!!

3 orders came on the same day! I bet the mailman thought I'm crazy... haha

[life] Not so Crazy Xmas Shopping #2 - Forever 21

 

  

I rarely shop at Forever21, I think I only had 1 item from F21 before today.  I never really liked the store setup and their fitting room line-up is always crazy and quality is not very good.  When I passed through the store today (kinda doing a shortcut from one entrance to another exit), I saw the Marled Top (bottom photo), and don't know why, it just caught my eyes.  On my way to the fitting room, I told myself if there's more than 3 people, then forget it.  The store I went to, F21 displays their on-sale items right beside their fitting room, so I have to go check it out.  As I was browsing, I came cross the jacket (top photo).  I love the style!! Been looking for something like this for a while, especially how the neck part is styled.  Most importantly, the price is something I'm willing to spend.  It's original price was 72 CAD, and it's now on sale for 17.50CAD!!! 

So I went to the fitting room, and guess what! There's only 1 people lined up for the fitting room on a Saturday and these 2 items turned out to be the perfect size.  Alright, that's it, now I have to buy it!  I did debate a bit about the top, since it's on regular price and it's 17CAD (which, more reason to buy the jacket not the top).  But, there's just once in a while (really??) that you see something that you have to get... so... I decided to give F21 anther chance and headed to the cashier.

PS: The only item that I own prior to today's purchase was a thin jacket that I bought last summer.  The first time I wore it, the buttons came off.  It's is not those typical buttons that I can just saw back, I had to get it fixed and spent about 1/2 of the price that I paid for the jacket to get those 2 bottoms back to where they were.  After couple wears, the pocket lining started to tare and I'm yet to find a way to saw it w/out having to pay for alteration again!! sigh...

[life] Crazy Xmas Shopping #1 - Bath & Body Works

Evil thing about living close to Pt. Roberts & having NEXUS is that I can shop US websites!! 

One stop shopping & getting all I need is what I'm looking for.  Plus: Can you imagine carrying all these with B&BW's paper bag? XD

I got it with one of the Xmas event they're having online & they sent me an extra Mango Mandarin body lotion! YAY!!!

What I got:
1. Room Perfume - Frosted Cranberry
2. Room Perfume - Beach Bellini
3. 3-Wick Candle - Cranberry Pear Bellini
4. Home Fragrance Oil - Cranberry Pear Bellini
5. Home Fragrance Oil - Frosted Cranberry
6. Nourishing Hand Cream - Winter Cranberry
<<seeing a trend here?>>

7. Body Lotion - Mango Mandarin
8. Triple Moisture Body Cream - Mango Mandarin
9. Shower Gel - Mango Mandarin
10. Fragrance Mist - Mango Mandarin
<<seeing another trend?>>

11. Body Lotion - Malibu

Couple days before I placed my order, I went to the B&BW and wanted to check out their Xmas scent.  I figure it's close to Xmas and they MUST have something on sale.  Also, with the coupon that I print out from WorkPerk, I can get additional 20% off on anything!  I can't ever justify to spend $22 on a 3-Wick candle no matter how amazing they are.  Anyway, went there, smelled almost all the candles, and the only one that I liked was Cranberry Pear Bellini.  And of course, what you want is normally something that you can't get.  They're out of the 3-Wicked one and only have 1 small tiny version left.  I grabbed as soon I found it and search the entire store to see if there's another one somewhere else.  (The store was a mass!) Don't really remember what else I bought that day, I think I also grabbed couple Scentportable Refills with similar smell.

So I went home, went on to BBW website, and can't imagine why B&BW only has US website, but not a Canadian one.  However, in the meantime, not really complaining, because it's cheaper! haha!  

I waited for couple days before I placed the order, really wanted to see if I still have the urge of buying this and also wanted to make sure I didn't find something else that I really wanted.  So before the end of one of their million Xmas sales, I placed my order.  There are many other scents that I'm curious about about; like the sorbet ones, but too bad, they don't have it in store and don't really want to buy the gigantic candle if I don't end up liking it.  

The purpose of shopping online was to buy candles; however, I ended up getting only one and instead, I got probably like X years worth of body-related supplies.  I have a thing for Mango/Passion Frust/Exotic Fruit scent.  Just can't resist it!!

Anyway, the deal's pretty good, things got shipped fast and most importantly, NOTHING BROKE or EXPLODED ^__^
