The other day I went to the "Superstore" in San Gabriel with my mom. I ended up browsing the girly area there. I call it the girly area because they sell Asian skin care products, Asian cosmetics, and Asian cutesy accessories (stationary, stuffed animals, keychains, cute gifts in general). I will tell you all right now that I absolutely adore small ( Read more... )

A nice change of pace from my recent entries is my skincare routine. I do put a decent amount of effort into taking care of my skin. I believe that is the key to looking youthful and healthy. Of course, I'm still pretty young, but I know a few people who seem to have aged prematurely because they don't take care of their skin, lead unhealthy/ ( Read more... )

I have a lot of updates!!!

First of all, YES, the wedding happened! I did my own hair and makeup on Friday. Saturday, a MUA did it for me, and she did an AMAZING job. But more on that later!

She was featured in it, but her album hadn't even been released in the US. She's big in the UK though ( Read more... )

From the ages of 15-17, I lived off of liquid foundation. I never did a full face of foundation for school, but I definitely used it to lessen discolorations on my face. I even used it to "conceal" blemishes. (NOTE: For those of you who don't believe me when I say that I used it as a concealer, think of those ultra creamy drugstore concealers that ( Read more... )

So I decided to actually post some pictures of myself. In the top photo I am wearing my regular everyday makeup. The second photo is me plus some mascara and eyeshadow (I rarely wear eyemakeup). In the last two photos, I am also wearing my new lipstick from MAC (Sheen Supreme in Behave Yourself).

One of the most basic things that I wanted to throw out there is my regular makeup routine. It's nothing too eyeopening or crazy. I try to go for a natural but polished look. In order to do this, I focus on complexion instead of on eyes and lips.

Rather than going through my routine step by step, I would like to just include some tips and tricks ( Read more... )
