Guerlain Blush and Sun FOTD

Just another Wednesday... NYC IS 75F degrees!!! I had lunch at Wu Liang Ye with my mom and her friend from Johanneburg, South Africa. Oh what a nice day to be walking around in Midtown.

FACE:

• Clarin Truly Matte Foundation buffed with Coastal Scent Pink Buffer brush (will review later)
• NARS Laguna Bronzer to contour jawline with Sephora Flat Top brush
• Guerlain Blush and Sun in Sun Light on apple of my cheeks with Clinque blush brush
• MAC MSF in Northern Light with MAC 187 on the top 1/2 of my apples to highlight

BROWS:

• PN eye brown pencil ( I don't even know the color anymore, the wording on the outside is all rubbed off, the only brow pencil I used for th past 5 years)

EYES:

• Shiseido Hydro Powder eye shadow in H2 (white light) as base, applied with finger
• Kevyn Aucoin eye shadow palette #2, used the purple/taupe color on crease and below with a Lancome shadow brush, used the matte black as a liner with a Lancome fine liner brush
• Lancome WaterProof liner in Black, tightlining upper and lower lash line
• Pout mascara (similar to Maybellin Lash Discovery) as a base for lashes, Majorlic Majorilica Lash Extension mascara as a second base, Heroin fiber lash entension mascara, and Cover Girl Lash Blast to finish ( I always use at least 3 different mascaras whenever I wear make up, it's the only way to pump up the lashes)

LIPS:

• Clinque Full Potential Lips in Cherry Bomb

Camera Tag

Tagged by Fei, so here it is..

Sony DSC-T10 7.2 MP Super Steady Shot with Gucci and Swarovski chain/charm dangling girly thingy.

H bought it for me as a "just because" present. I just noticed I have Sony for everything, Sony Camera, Camcorder, Laptop (Vaio in pink), Wega Flat Screen tv, and a Vaio laptop. Except for my phone, which is an iPhone of course. Speaking of iPhone, I seriously can't live without this phone. It's my phone, my mp3, my camera (i always catch interesting things walking around NYC, see below), my web browser, my calendar, my weather reporter, and my EMAILLLLLsss... I need to learn how to mobile upload.

this is on 50th st. between 5th and 6th ave. how often do you catch a burnt up cab on 5th ave? last week when H and I went to a Knick's game at MSG, we saw a second floor tanning salon blew up in a blast and burnt to the ground, there were glasses everywhere on the street. can you imagine walking pass there and get cut up in the face with those glasses blasting? dang, my hood is dangerous man! lol. jk.


Alright kiddos, i just took pictures of about.. 20 products using the above camera, and let me tell you, it's a lot of workkkk.. argh.. tired... going to sleep. later~

Love the tan, but frekles?

HELLO MI LADIES~~ long time no FOTD. well, i just wanted to show you guys some of my pics after I came back from Mexico with this gorgous tan~~ notice the second pic I look red and burnt? I think it's either my Asian glow (had a glass of champane) or my burnt skin showing through. it's weird, b/c usually i don't get burnt, not even if i don't put on sunblock, but this time. MAN OH MAN, i am peeellling everywhere!! my forehead, my pit, my chest (check out the boobie shot in the first pic), even my legs and feet! wth? I swear I was smothered in SPF55 AM to PM. but something about Mexican sun is extra extra strong and I came home CRISP.


I think it used Joyous beauty powder blush in this pic. Ya like Daisy's pearly whites? lol.


check out the real damage....

frekles... on... my... hand....

all the horror stories your mom tells you about getting sun spots on your hand and chest b/c you don't put SPF on it, IS TRUE! dude, i missed that ONE spot and i got frekles. this is disgusting! I love to lay out in the sun and get some color on my skin, but never in a million years did i want freckles! thank goddness it's not on my face, cuz i wouda hide under a blanket until i lasered that shit out. i don't know if this will ever go away, i've been putting whiten lotion on it, but not much result.

so point of the story...

WEAR YOUR SUN BLOCK AND COVER EVERY INCH OF YOUR SKIN IN IT! that $10 you spend on a good sunblock is worth every single penny b/c sun damage is hard to reverse. it's always a good idea to protect and prevent, than try to fix the problem later.

thank you thank you thank you

I'm so surprised that many of you are interested in my little Yard Sale. Thank you for your interest and I will try to make the transaction as easy as possible. However, a few things though...

1. Many of your are not blogger and doesn't have a blog, which is fine with me. But would you please state your name after your comment, so I know who's who?
2. As previously mentioned, I only have PayPal and I think I can receive money on it, right right? If I'm wrong, correct me pls. But I will only ship to addresses confirmed on PayPal, this way I can ensure I've shipped to the right person and less drama on the "i didn't receive my package" front.
3. I CANNOT SHIP INTERNATIONAL. This is only b/c the few times I did international swaps on MUA went south. It's just not worth the whole process and it will take you forever to receive my package.
4. I will be fair with prices, more in line with what I paid for and the shipping cost since I will include it in the price.
5. I will include samples and other extras since I have so many. Pls let me know if you don't want any. I will not include used lippie or mascara or eye liner. I know the rules. ^.~
6. Most likely sale will be on in batches, b/c there are a lot to cover and I want to do a clean sweep of everything, it'll be separated into skin care, make up, etc.

Again, thank you all for your interest and let me know if any of these rules are out of line, I will try to as fair as possible. As many of you know I'm studying for GMAT and D-Day is on 5/10/08, so if I'm a little slow in getting you back, pls forgive me.

Cancun Duty Free

As promised, picutres of my recent purchases. I didn't buy much while I was at the Cancun Airport, it was close to midnight and we have been awake since 7am and running on about 3 hours of sleep. But I did grab 2 items for myself and cartons of cigarettes for H. Nothing says love more than cancer sticks for your hubby.


Guerlain Terracotta Blush & Sun in Sun Light, which is the lightest color, slightly peachy, but goes on so subtle and makes my cheeks glowy. Especially that I'm so tanned now, probably 2 shades darker than my winter skin, this is the perfect blush for me. I find that MAC Beauty Powder Blush in Joyous is a little too 'showy' on me, even if I use my 187 with it. So I've been using this as a blush every day and people tell me I have the most glowy complexion and so tanned and looks so healthy *tehehehe*. I think that as my skin gets darker, the best way to keep it from looking too red or 'dirty' (I think Asian tend to look farmer dirty when they tan, I used to look like I just walked out of a rice patty when I tanned), is to use beige/light tan bronzer as a blush. My Shu Marble Glow-On Blush in Sierra goes on so smooth and enhances the tan on my face. Love love lovess it!


I'm a HUGE fan of the Issey Miyake line perfume. I have their Summer 06 LE (pink bottle) and the SE Dew on a Petal (middle bottle). Both smells so heavenly, clean, crisp and fresh. I love floral fresh perfume, makes me feel so clean. I didn't buy the original bottle, because my friend is a die-hard fan too and buys parfum bottles (she goes through at least 3 bottles a year), and I didn't want to steal her 'scent'.
The new one I bought at the airport is the spray deodorant. I didn't know they made such product and was instantly intrigued since I hate drug store solid deodorants. Let me tell me this is god send! On mornings when I'm running late (every morning), I spray this on my pit and I can skip the perfume. You could still smell the scent faintly throughout the day and it's not sticky at all, doesn't get on your clothes and saves money on perfume. The deodorant is about $28 I think, which is a steal and I wish I bought more! The only problem is.. obviously this is not a strong anti-persperiant and since NYC is getting warmer lately, I feel like I need that extra dryness protection. Girls, walk through subways and bus station while carrying my 10lb bag is a workout in and of itself. One word.. Grosssss...

Love both of my purchases and worth every single cent. =)

it's so hard to say good bye

yay!!! 5 comments!!! let the sale begin! I will need to take a picture of everything soon and let you guys know! but it's sooo hard to decide which one to let go and which ones to keep. I have separation anxiety when it comes to my make up, and i know it's a sickness that will never be cured. I just can't handle watching it slipping through my fingers and thinking, what if one day I will need the black shadow with the finer silver shimmer, instead of the ones that's just a tad bigger? WHAT IF? i need the spare shu lash curler, even though i have 3 laying around, what if they disappear? what if someone breaks into my apt and just takes my gold shu lash curler? what then????? i will be forever sad I sold my spare!!!!

Anyways, you get the drift. it's hard. i'm sure y'all know. it's harder than choosing between Daisy or Amber on Rock of Love 2. Did y'all watch the reunion show on that one? lol.

Would you ever let go either of the above items? Brand New, Never Used/Worn???? I'm so torned!!!

Anybody Interested???

Hey girls (and boys, if any), I'm sorry I've been ignoring my blog lately. Work's been busy and I haven't had a chance to sit down and upload all the pictures of my recent purchases yet. But I promise there are more reviews and hauls coming up!

Like every beauty junkie out there, I have tons and tons of makeup. I just did a spring clean up this past weekend and seriously horrified by the amount of shit I hoard. I have a problem and I'll admit it. Though it's hard to say good bye to many of the products I bought, they are just sitting there collecting dust and I'd rather have them go to a rightful owner.

SOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! is anyone interested in buying brand new products or the ones that have been tested once or twice? I have a PayPal Account and that's the only way I know how to accept money on the internet. Prices will include shipping. I will clean and disinfect all products before shipping. Would anyone be slightly interested in shopping at Cutti's Overstock Beauty Store?

Everything MUST GO! CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

By the way, I have a $110 Sephora Gift Card, is anyone interested in purchasing it for $100?

If I get enough responses (5 at least), I will take pictures and post them up with prices. There are literally hundred's of unused products. So let me know guys~
