Traveling journal part 1 ☼

Hello bloggers,
How summer going for you? :). I went to Florida with my family as a birthday present. This is my travel diary post :D

-Me and sis in the airport :D

 -Downtown Naples, Fl


 - Me and bro-bro

While we were walking along downtown Naples, a random park pop up out of nowhere. The park filled with beautiful flowers and there was a gigantic lake behind the park. It was so dark I couldn't take the picture of the lake but it is indeed beautiful. 


It was hot, hot and hot but I love the scenery and the smell of wild flowers and the ocean. I know I was in the right place at the right time

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.
Want to subscribe? Here the link :)
*not sponsored by ipsy, all reviews are according to my opinions and I paid for the monthly subscription *

-Bought an amazon gift card for my bff birthday. And it come exactly on her birthday.
Happy summer everyone :)

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 :)
 


 
 --------------------------------------------
Random update
 
-Making my first beef stroganoff. 
-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

4. Nivea chapstick (with spf 15)
5. Blink contact lenses eyedrops
4. Bandages and hair tie (lolz! I'm such a klutz)
