Ipsy may bag :D

Hello blogger,
Here is my monthly Ipsy bag review :'). So far, this is my favorite!

Overall products, include bronzing body butter, roll on perfume, zoya nail polish, mirabella lipstick and concealer

1st item: Pacifica bronzing body butter. It smell so good! create a nice tan and glow for the summer

2nd: Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia perfume roll on: I didn't like this so much because it smell kind of strong and herbal lolz

Mirabella lipstick in Posy. I was hoping for a lighter lipstick because I have so many red lipsticks. But this create a very nice strawberry sheer color! Super moisturizing too :D

Yapy concealer in honey. This is a magnetic pot so we can put it on our magnetic plate we got in march :D

Lastly, is the zoya nail polish in Julie. It has a nice glimmer to it.

 

Overall the bag deserve a 5/5 for $10 worth of USABLE items. Most bag subscription give you random stuffs that you don't use but not Ipsy.

Sweet freedom

Hello bloggers,
Sorry for a huge (semi-permanent gap) about my blogging schedule lately. I was so busy with uni finals and homework that I neglect my social life for a while lolz

-Oh calculus! I'm so glad you are over!
---------------------------------------------------- Two cosmetics---------------------
I bought two cosmetic items the other day. It came in a super cute bag and I received a free lip gloss as well *yay*. Their eyeshadow is very pigmented and go on smooth. I definitely recommend this brand :)

Bento, Bento...Here is my cute bento I bought the other day. My mom thought it was for squirrel food because it is so freaking small. She like are you on a diet?

 summer and cute friendship bracelets? ;)

So summer started right about now for me. I feel a bit lonely because work and school are over and I don't know what to do with myself for the next two months (not that I love the school load, of course!). I tend to abandon things when I entered school and then those things/friends become unfamiliar when I needed them again :/

And so...we could never win :). Life take us on this strange journey and sometime we forgot who we are. Maybe I should do some sould searching this summer lolz.

Well ta-ta for now, have any fun summer plans?

-XOXO Charlotte

Would you wait for me?

 

Hello love,

It is spring again! a new beginning, a new start and perhaps a new depression have started. Why does it feel so hard to be yourself? To keep wishing for something else...something better than yourself. Why am I so lacking? Why can't I be like her/him?...Why?Why?Why?

-I know that the pressure should push me to grow, but it doesn't feel good...No, it is sure as hell doesn't feel good!

-Then why...why did I decided that this revolution is necessary?

....Because my soul is sick of being afraid, of being scared and of being the "second best"

 

Selfies :)

-Easter egg break off to find a white chocolate duck! So cute!

A mini photoshoot with Nikky

 



- I missed being at peace! I'm constantly striving for perfection. I'm afraid...afraid that once I stop...I will lost the definition of who I am...or at least what people think I am

XOXO

---The makeup post--

Hello lovely blogger,

I'm so sorry for abandon my blog lately (midterm exams in multiple classes). I'm kind of afraid to check my grade right now so I decide to distract myself by blogging lolz.

-Do you know the  makeup brand called E.L.F? They are a super cheap makeup brand but with pretty decent quality if you want to try out new  colors :)

-I ordered some the other day:

 

 Here are the swatches of the lipstick and lip stains I bought.

Quick check up?

 

Some of the blogger ask me what I carry in my travel makeup bag. So here it is:

2. Clinique lipstick in coral blush

Ipsy February & other hauls review

Hello bloggers,

So here as promise! The belated February Ipsy bag review :D

Lash card
Pixi primer
Coastal scents eyeshadows
Mica Beauty gel eyeliner
Pop Lash mascara

 1. Pop Lash mascara. Ipsy keep sending out mascara (which is great!) but I never really heard of this brand so kind of skeptical :/ (my eyes are very sensitive)

This is the biggest hype for this bag. The gel eyeliner pot is very cute (glass) and I like how long the eyeliner stay on :D

 -Not big on primer, either. Considering this is the third primer tube I have been receiving lolz.

-I like this! It is great when you try to avoid mascara smudges . Plus, you can use it as a shield for eyeshadow powder (wink)

-This is such a pretty golden palate ( My eyes go well with golden and brown eyeshadows). The eyeshadow is very shimmery so if you want to go glam then just pile up the product :D

Overall rating: 4/5 (I would give the bag a 5 if it they STOP sending out primer :) ). But very good value total!

-------------------------------------------Wet Seal Haul-------------------------------
Yay! Another online haul (I need better self control lolz)

 -I am in love with pretty pastel blouses which are great for the spring!

-And a hi-lo maxi dress for the summer (I can't wait for uni to end!) and boots!

---------------------------------------Funny Valentine!-----------------------------------------

So I got this card at work on Valentine (yeah I was working the whole day =_=). Cupid Poop turned out to be red M&M lolz
-So I took the Calculus test on Monday (I didn't do anything at all except studying last weekend). Og geez! my effort go to waste when I realized that I did one of the main problem on the test wrong because I wrote down the prompt wrong (huhuhuhuhuhu T_T)
-I have another Chemistry test on Wednesday! huhuhuhuhu. UNI EXAMS SUCK!
-My god! I just realized I have to go back to studying :(
-Well, wish me luck! Have a good weekend guys!
-XOXO,
Charlotte

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year bloggers 



Snake Year!

It is so much fun when you get to celebrate two new years right? :D

 

So I've been addicted to online shopping lately (oh my!). This is the jean I got from American Eagle (the most current online item lolz) 

 

-I like buying American Eagle Jean online because the color is very true on real life compare to online pictures. Moreover, I'm very lazy on shopping for jeans in store (talk about trying 10 different one in the fitting room). Beside, if you know your size for one pair of EA jean then it's likely you will get the same size for every other jean after that :D

-I got this new hair bun maker thing and it's very easy to make the bun. Yet, I have a problem!!!! the side of my hair keep sticking out of the bun maker no matter how hard I try to pinned it down :(. Any help?

 



And Happy Birthday to my lovely mommy too :D

 ----------------------------------------- Work/Life Update-------------------------------------------------

 The picture above depicted the amount of food we have leftover after orientation at work!!! and the interesting mural that I spotted while walking around!

 

So... uni life is so busy as usual. My new chemistry lab partner is soooooooooo annoying (the nerve!) She keeps taking my friend's seat in lecture!

Also, I met a boy in Calculus that look just like Draco in Harry Potter. This one:

and I was like O_O staring at him (don't get me wrong! I have no attraction toward this boy!) but he look just like Draco! Anyway, he now think I have a HUGE crush on him because I stared at him on the first day of school. =_=

 

Chemistry and Calculus Unit 1 tests are coming soon. Oh dear god! Pray for my soul and my grade to stay intact!

-XOXO

Charlotte
