Hello everyone! Today's look would be inspired by the Pacifica Enlighten palette. I have a written review on the palette if you want to know more about my thoughts about this palette.

Haul : Quick Etsy shopping

Hello everyone. So this is going to be a quick Etsy haul. Etsy is a website where people sell their crafts and items online much like Amazon or eBay. It's a lovely little site and a lot more personalized
than the big two.

The items I ordered is a dreamcatcher from William the dreamcatcherman, and two necklace from Claire who is ShamanicSoul.

Review : Pacifica Enlighten Eye Brightening Shadow Palette

I had these now for a few months and I have play around with these colors before in the past but haven't really gone into dept on it except for how creamy it is when I swatched it. These items are 100% vegan, cruelty-free. Formulated without FD&C color, phthalatesm, talc, parabens or petroleum. A portion of proceeds support clean water. I brought these palettes at Target for $12 and on the website it cost $14. It claim to be rich, lasting, ceaselesseye shadows infused with coconut for a velvety, cream-like finish in four highly pigmented mineral satin and iridescent shades.

Tutorial : Quick 5 Minute Makeup Look

Hello everyone! So I decided it was time to do a second tutorial. Like before, please be nice and leave feedback on what you think.

I came up with this look when I was rushing for class and realize it'll be a good look to do. I used a beautiful rusty brown color that I love so much and a pretty pink to highlight my inner corner. I love Maybelline's Color Tattoo line because it's long lasting and has a lot of color selections.

Make Up : Top 6 Drugstore Dark Lipstick Colors For Fall Under $10

Hello ladies~ So Fall is here now and you know what that means? Dark lips. I love dark lips and have been waiting all spring and summer to finally wear dark colors again.

I love going drugstore hunting for the perfect dark lip for me. I'm Asian so there's a yellow undertone so keep that in mind while I swatch this.

Random : September ipsy bag

Hello everyone! Today I would be talking about my ipsy bag that I received in the mail today. This month theme is Street Style.

Tutorial : Fall Inspired Makeup Look for Glasses

Hello everyone! So this is my first makeup tutorial so try not to be so mean about it please. I was nervous while doing my voice over if you can tell hehe. I was inspired to do this look because I have this beautiful single eye shadow by NYX in the color 112 Fahrenheit.

I received this in one of my ipsy bag and I love the color. It's a pretty copper shade with some gold shimmers in it. I don't think you can find these eye shadows anymore on their website. I went back to ipsy.com to see what link they put for purchasing more of these eye shadows and it gave an Amazon link. The link they gave doesn't have the eye shadows available anymore. An eye shadow by NYX that I think is very similar is Heat. It's a pearly copper color.

Life Style : Being careful at a nail salon

Hello again! Just a little history about me, I used to work at a nail salon for about 4 months because my mom decided I could use the experience and made me work for her friend's sister in law's nail salon. I have work with clients and learn the ways of the 'master' who taught me how to do pedicures and manicures. 

Random : Nailtiques Formula 2 (3 weeks update)

Hello everyone! It have been officially a little over 3 weeks since I started using this nail treatment. You can read my first review and my story about my nails about it by clicking on this link here. I'm just going to give you a quick update on my nails so far.  

Review : Sonia Kashuk Arch Alert

Today's review would be about the Sonia Kashuk arch alert brow kit~ This is a cream eyebrow kit and I love this thing. Sonia Kashuk is only available at Target for about $10. I brought this kit last year, but haven't really gotten into it since I was still into brow pencils. I decided to try this since I was lazy with sharpening the brow pencil and fell in love with it since.

Diary Entry : Getting Colder!

Helllllo~ I hope you're having a great day.

Today I actually woke up slightly cold which haven't happen in a pretty long time. Last night I couldn't find my sleeping shorts so I settle on wearing my long sweatpants which I figure was better than nothing. My boyfriend sent me a text saying he wasn't able to spend time with me today because of a work meeting so I already felt sad when I decided to get out of bed.

Yesterday I made some holubtsi which is Ukraine style stuffed cabbage. I had this for the first time at a friend's house years ago and her mom's cooking is amazing. I haven't had it for a few years but I look back and think about it every so often so I decided yesterday since I have the time and at the market, I should google and find a good recipe to follow. I came across some from the food network and some personal cooking blogs. I just started picking things and gather what I can from each recipe and made my own. The cook time was about 2 hours which I felt wasn't enough time for the sauce to really get into the stuffed cabbage so this morning I turn on the fire again on low heat after it starts boiling. 

My siblings liked the holubtsi but I only made about 15 pieces since I only had 1 pound of meat to make it with. This morning I put aside 4 pieces for tomorrow's breakfast and ate two and made some pasta and mix it with the tomato sauce for breakfast.

For lunch I had a crunchy chicken wrap with lettuce, onion, sweet pepper, jalapeno, and chipotle mayo. It taste absolutely amaziiiing~ The chicken was nice and crispy and the spiciness made the meal yummy. One thing I noticed when I was eating was the lipstick coming off on wrap. It felt weird but since I was texting my boyfriend, I took a picture of the lipstick mark left on the wrap and told him this is why I can't share food. He laughed it off and said he'll still eat it. Gah I love that guy.

Review : Nailtiques Formula 2

Hello, long time no post. Today's post is about getting healthier stronger nails. I had acrylic nails for about a month. I have gotten my nail done because my nails were weak and has a hard time growing longer so I figure having acrylic on top would help it grow underneath it. Boy was I wrong...the first time the ladies at nail salon took it off, they used a fake nail and a nipper to peel it off and it took layers off my real nails which made it weaker. It was so horrible I went back a week later to get acrylic again because the nails were so much weaker and the real nails has cracks in it. 

Diary Entry : Protecting Myself

I was talking to my boyfriend over Skype about random things and then a topic about feeling secure on the street came up. I live on the east coast in one of the big cities and how when I was downtown a homeless man came up to me talking about his private part. I was so uncomfortable and tried to calmly handle the situation while on the inside I want to run across the street even though it was a red light. I had an umbrella open since it was very sunny so I had that between me and the homeless man when he tried to get close to me. The moment the light changed, I raced across the street.

Diary Entry : First week of Class

Summer has been over for me for over a week now. I'm not complaining since I learn to enjoy going to class. I tend to keep to myself but I keep myself busy in the meantime. This semester I've pick classes in the afternoon so I don't have to wake up early in the morning. I've chose morning classes before and I was dead in class and wasn't able to pay attention. I spent more money on morning coffee than I would like to admit so this time I made sure I don't have to do that. 

Life Style : Taking notes in college

Hello~ Today's post would be about taking notes from textbooks. I learn this from a teacher I had in middle school who said this skill would be useful when I attend college and truthfully it has help me.
