Another week...another wish

“There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

 

Dear bloggers,

I am blessed with such a good summer and good books to read. Why did I put the quote above in my blog post? First of all, The Great Gatsby was one of my favorite books and second of all, I am going back to be busy busy busy with work and school starting next week (boo!). The beginning of the school year always marked by a sense of excitement and then a nostalgic feeling after I am being drowned by works. Human must continue to strive and fight in order to survive and that is exactly how the real world is :'(

My summer pastime....tea, mochi and good books

~I have a meeting with the lovely Megan again for our back to school textbooks shopping (cost: $750). OMG!!!

~Remember that Target beauty box I got a while ago? I finally try out the nail polish strips that come with the box. It was funny because I was making fun of how it reminded me of giraffe. 

 ~It is called Queen of the Jungle. But honestly it should call shades of giraffe. First: you apply the stickers on your nails.

 ~Second you file the extra bit with a mini file they gave you

~And ta dah giraffe nails. haha!

And I'm having BEAUTY PRODUCTS REVIEW in my next post so stay tuned . The two items I will be reviewing are:

1. Tonymoly tomato mask
2. Etude house eye and lip makeup remover
  *yay* see? I'm not too lazy
Until next time...
XOXO Charlotte

When you want to break free...

Hello lovely bloggers,

So Uni finally started again =_=. Oy, the sleep deprive and the home and the work. It takes some time to get use to haha! I'm taking a mini break right now from studying (it getting all mumble jumble!). So I work at the Uni office for 14 hours a week on top of school (need money for tuition baby!).

 

Here the story about work:

~I have to post up some fliers on every floor around the Uni so instead of waiting for the elevator at each floor, I decided to just take the stairs (oh boys! was I naïve)

~Here is the creepy staircase. Nobody was there (they sure warned you enough!)

 So after that I was praying that nothing creepy will jump out!
~Here me when work end (yay! taking the elevator again)

So I get home from work (around 6:00 PM)

Dead tired face

After having dinner (a bit happier lolz)

~I'm thinking of switching jobs because the office I worked at are just too gossipy (with all the advisors) and they keep having up and down moods which irritated me soooo much!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delias haul!

~So I spend a good $80 on clothes at Delias (because of their huge winter sale!). Their coats are really cheap now!

 

~Here some items in the box

My favorite is surprising this tech glove which allow you to use a smartphone while wearing gloves *yay*

 I can't believe I didn't discover this sooner!!!

by the way! I'M GOING TO AUSTRALIA THIS SUMMER!!! :D. Finally, a much needed vacation!

XOXO
Charlotte

Here some senior portrait I want to share with you guys:

~Me and sis.

~I think these pictures are okay! lolz. It was kind of awkward when the camera in your face for too long.
~Hmm. Senior year! I thought this year would be so awesome. Yeah that was wrong! Let see...the teachers suck, my friends' attitude change with all the boys drama and even my guy friends are weird. Oh well! one more year and I could get out of this hell lolz.

~What make me really happy is that I received a letter from my pen pal in Sierre Leon. My school started this pen pal program since I was in 10th grade. It's awesome to hear stories half the world away. John is super nice and send me a beautiful scarf in return for my friendship bracelet that I make for him.

Missha no.23 bb cream review

Hello everyone, here is the review of missha bb cream you have been asking for ^^. It's the Perfect Cover bb cream No.23

~Without flash

~With flash

Review status:

My skin: oily/combination

Skin color: NC 30

Oil control: 4/5 (pretty good but you still need to plot now and then)

Blending: It blend pretty well and provided a matte finish

Pros: Blend well, conceal pretty well, nice matte finish and have a great smell

Cons: Well for me I think it's a bit too thick and the color is too light for my skin. I recommended NC 25 and above.

~I used this as a concealor and it works so well ^^

~OOh!!! look!. lolz, I got an exfoliating glove for washing. This remove the dead skin when winter come around ^^

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCHOOL RANT ALERT!

~Yeah, I tend to rant lately but again I'm so piss off today. So apparently I got a 70% for my participation grade in my A.P. Euro. Thanks, father I feel the love (my teacher is a priest). It's strange because he never called on me when I raised my hand but when he does, he make sure that he ask me a question we never learn before =_=. So you want me to participate more?Okay, from next week I will raised my hand like crazy.

~I didn't dare telling this to my parent yet. As you all know that Asian parent is super strict and always consider everything is your fault!!!

~God bless us all!

~Okay that's it for now! Have a great day guys and I'll try my full force next week as well (time for black coffee). Bye ^^. Thanks for all the sweet lovely comments ^^

~XOXO Charlotte

Back to school and rohto

Hey guys and gals,

~One more week and then it's all over. I'm sad T_T. Yup, I'm talking about back to school thing. Anyway, I went to target and walmart to shop for school supplies. Office Depot is kind of far from my house so too lazy to drive all the way there (lolz, see how excited I am?).

~ Here is the haul:

~There are actually more, I feel like an elementary kid again XD.

~The infamous new backpack. I refers big tote bag or just an oversize bag instead of backpack but mommy want me to wear backpack instead. She was all excited over this one. lolz.

~What do you guys think?

~Time in school meaning wearing my contact lense for over 6 hours. I stocked up on new eyedrop for contact lense such as BLINK and for coolness/redness I use Rohto.

~At night, I use this eye oil thing. It's a film of oil and you put in on the inside of your eyelid (it get super blurry) then on the morning voila -->Your eyes are no longer dry.
