What's In My Bag

The lovely Ena tagged me again! This time to show what's in my bag. :D

I am currently using my HK LE Longchamp bag.

My planner from gmarket and my beloved DS! :D

My LV wallet that my husband bought me for my birthday this year.

Very important!! Keys. See the green membership card? TheFaceShop. :D HK is the key home so I don't have to look so hard when I'm tired. Haha.. Lazy me.

Clockwise starting from the Left: Nivea Smooth Sensation Lotion (I ran out of my fav DHC Olive Hand Cream recently...*tears*), Victoria's Secret Love Spell Body Mist, Kleenex, another very important item: Purell, and some alcohol wipes

I like having a choice so I have fruity and minty gum. I almost always have a granola bar in my bag for the times I start shaking....

Protection for my eyes.

My Sony Ericsson cellphone. Can you guess who I love? My mother says I'm wierd because of me loving him at my age. My husband gets a bit jealous, LOL.

Stamps for my planner.

So cute!! Yes, some of the cuter stamps has Korean phrases. I can read and understand them though. The little shopping bag has a star in the middle... I tried 2x but it still does not show that well..

My makeup pouch from Walmart for $3.

My Daily Beauty Routine

I got tagged by the pretty Ena to do a daily beauty routine so here goes.

First up will be the items used the most in my current (Seasonal and depends on what I like at the time) Day & Night Skincare Routine .

Starting from the Left going clockwise:

1. Dove Gentle Exfoliating Daily Facial Cleansing Pillows - gentle enough to be used everyday. The cleansing pillow has 2 sides for gentle cleansing or for exfoliation.

2. Laneige Professional Makeup Remover Multi Cleanser - Makeup removing, foam cleansing and micro scrubbing. Honestly, my skin feels really clean after using this but I feel a tad bit on the dry side and the smell is a little strong...

3. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash - To help prevent blemishes.

4. Etude House Happy Teatime Peach Tea Cleansing Foam - I love the smell so this stays in the shower for the morning.

5. DHC Deep Cleansing Oil - I love this but I don't like using it around the eye area because it gives me fuzzy vision after washing... so I have #6.

6. Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover - Removes even waterproof mascara. Will probably try something else after finishing...

7. Dove SkinVitalizer - Use with #1 to better exfoliate with mechanical vibrations.

Number 1+7, 2, & 3 really depends on the weather and how much makeup I'm wearing for the day.

Starting from the Left going clockwise:

1. Shiseido Pureness Balancing Softener Alcohol Free - Used in conjuction with #2 & #6.

2. Shiseido Pureness Matifying Moisturizer Oil-Free - I use this as my day moisturizer.

3. Laneige Eye Designer Cream - I use this at night only because it is on the heavy side so it take longer to absorb.

4. Kevin Beautymaker Aquamarine Hydrating Eye Serum - I use this in the morning because it is light, hydrating, and absorbs relatively fast for faster makeup application. :D

5. Laneige Water Sleeping Pack Plus - My current love!! Last step of my nightly ritual to help lock in all the moisture at night to wake up with plump-hydrated skin.

6. DHC Platinum Silver Nanocolloid - I use this at night after

Now that I'm typing everything up, I'm beginning to think I'm being too complicated but I don't get huge breakouts... :D So I can't be too crazy!

My current Daily Makeup Routine:

Starting from the Left going clockwise:

1. Etude House Top 10 V-Line BB Cream with SPF 27 - I use this more often because it covers blemishes fairly well so I don't need that much concealer.

2. Laneige Snow Crystal Dual (with concealer in the top white section) Founation with SPF 22 in 23 Sand Beige

3. MAC Prep and Prime Skin Base Veil - I was told by a SA that this helps the foundation last longer... I use this when I don't use #1.

4. Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in 20 Peach Satin - I switch between this and #5.

5. TheFaceShop Illuminating Cushion Blusher 01 Pink

6. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus

I just realized that I didn't even open the blush to show the color when I posted my TFS haul a while back.

TFS Illuminating Cushion Blusher 01 Pink

A very pretty pearly/shimmery pink. Sorry I couldn't get a great picture.

Starting from the Left going clockwise:

1. Kevin Beautymaker Princess Repairing Lip Balm - I love this! Smells great! Looks Pretty!! & Feels great on the lips!!!

2. MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack - For days when I have time to apply it and when I have a clean brush.

3. MAC Prep + Prime Lash - I have Asian lashes...

4. Avon Ultra Luxury Brow Liner in Light Golden Brown

5. MAC Pearlglide Eye Liner in Black Russian - Very pretty black liner with shimmer/glitter. Waterproof.

6. Maybelline Great Lash in Very Black - I carry this with me so I won't cry if I lose it.

7. The Body Shop Divide & Multiply Mascara in 01

8. UDPP

9. MAC Suntints Liquid Lip Balm with SPF 20 in Full of Grace

10. Etude House Precious Mineral BB Compact - I carry this around with me for blotting...

MAC Retrospeck (Lustre). My daily e/s.

Wow! That was long... I never realized that I use so much on a daily basis. Now I want to tag anyone who is reading to do this. It was fun reading Ena's and learning about new products. :D

So I went grocery shopping last night and picked up these 2 items that were not in the store before... Or maybe I was oblivious... Each were less then $4 so why not?

L- St. Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub for Blemish & Black Head Control - I never knew that they had this formula. The tube says New Look so it is probably not new. Anyways, I used it already. It smells so good and leaves me so clean and soft. I love it!

R- Freeman Facial Clay Mask Avocado & Oatmeal - Have not tried tried this yet but is supposed to "purge pores & firm and smoothe skin". For the days when I don't have an actual avocado in my fridge.

Last thing to show..

I want everyone to meet.........................

.............last night's dinner! haha! I was a little iffy at the missing tip on the claw but I didn't want to go back to Shoprite... My husband asked me if it was still moving and I said yes. Who would buy dead lobster? It was still moving in the bag. My husband felt bad for the lobster then because I was going to butcher it ( I had to cut it up to make Cantonese Style)... I didn't take pictures of the cooking process because it was my first time cutting and cooking lobster... I was not afraid of the lobster but it was disturbing when it still moved after I separated its head from its body with the head cut in half..... End result: Yummy in the tummy!!

Pink Lady Diary

It is labeled as a Diary but it is a planner that I plan on using when the Fall semester starts...

These are the pages in between months.

Stickers that were included.

Free gift!!!

Another free gift!! Secret eSpoir perfumed body travel set. Inside is a firming lotion and a shower gel.

Also, the hubby got me another Ceci Magazine. the June 2009 issue.

So pretty!!

The free gift is a Clio Professional Art Lipgloss A104 Sugar Peach and a Waterproof Eyeliner in Black.

Now to my TFS items I picked up yesterday... I only wanted to buy some sheet masks but I kept on throwing items into the basket... It does not help that they keep some BB Creams by the Cashier....

A box of Cotton Pads, a box of 10 Q10 Hemirus Sheet Masks (never heard of it but on sale for $8!), and a Pure Blossom Shimmering BB Cream SPF 15 PA+(!!!!).

More sheet masks.... Acerola, Jasmine and Fennel, and 2 Tea Tree n Bergamot. I have now tried alot from TFS and I cannot use the Vitamin Sheet Masks... They make my face tingle in a bad way...

TFS Foundation 13 Pure Beige, Gel Eyeliner (not so dried out this time....) and some samples.

I actually use 2-4 sheet masks a week now...

I am such a sucker for cute/pretty packaging...

I have to really try to stop buying makeup/skincare for a bit so I can get the Iphone 3Gs when I can finally get it through the upgrade price...

Too much!

Last Thursday, I picked up my Coastal Scents package. I got a 15 e/s palette for me and a friend. I also got a bottle of the EZ Pressing Medium and some extra MAC size empty e/s pans. CS threw in a mica sample pigment in Tibetian Ochre.

And so I started to press some Missha Eye Glam Powder. L-R: Cerulean Blue, Pistachio Green, Orchid Purple, Shell Pink, and Moon Vanilla.

The hubby is starting to worry about me...

Picked up a Laneige Basic_Ex Set for Dry Skin Type... They had a set where there is only the toner and the emulsion but is the same price of this set so of course I am going to get the one with more items. :D It contained a Power Essential Skin Refiner (all skin), a Balancing Emulsion (dry skin), a Water Bank Cream 1, and some sample size items. Going to finish my Shiseido 1 2 3 Pureness Oil Control Mattifiant Set from Sephora first... Even though I got this Laneige Set.... I still want to get the Skinfood Peach Sake Skin Care Line.... What am I going to do? I am buying too much...

Got a box of Mamonde Brightening Sheet Mask (4 masks), a Laneige Eye Designer Cream, a Snow Crystal Dual Foundation with SPF 22 in 23 Sand Beige, a Multi Cleanser (for my lazy days because it removes makeup, cleanses, and exfoliates), and some eyelashes. :D

The SA surprised me when she whipped out a box of green tea as one of the free gifts.

Next, I went to across the street to TFS and picked up even more things... I picked up the entire foot care line because it sounded good to me. The scent is Orange Mint and I got the Foot and Heel Cream, Foot and Leg Gel, Foot Mist, and Foot Scrub. (Gotta prepare for the summer! ) Also got a Black Gel Liner (but I got mad pissed off when I got home to find that it was all dried up! Got my husband to stop by the next day to try to exchange it but the same SA gave him B/S saying I have to mix some kind of oil to make use it again because all gel liners dry up with time.... So he just got me store credit on my membership card... Back to the haul, I picked up a Real Secret Shimmering Cream, Oil-Free BB Cream, a Eye Liner Brush, 2 Illuminating Cushion Blushers in 01 Pink and 03 Violet (02 was orange so I did not get it...), and of course, more eyelashes.

Also got some sheet masks... Felt like I should have waited the week before.... At Walgreens, they go for 2/$5. Alot in TFS is only $2 and some $1.50. I got a Rose and Pine, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide, Acerola, Tea Tree and Bergamot, and a Pomegranate.

Both stores threw in a lot of samples but a lot of it was of something I have already so no point in posting pictures.

My CherryCulture order came too! I'm not disappointed with the pigmentation of the products but I am disappointed with the color sample that I went by when I ordered. I got:

- NYX Lip Smaking Fun Colors in Frosted Beige, Peach, and Tea Rose.

- NYX Girls Glosses in Apricot, Sparkle, Soap Opera Queen, Peach, and Strawberry.

- NYX Concealer in a Jar in Beige and Medium.

- NYX Concealer Stick in Beige, Medium, and Green.

- NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in Baby Pink, Lilac Pearl, Silver, Jade, and Turquoise (the Turqoise looks blue! Biggest color difference!)

- NYX Chrome E/S in Blue Eyes, Green, Golden Peach, Oro, and Goddess.

I also got a package from the lovely Chiara!! I wanted her MAC Parrot and Aquavert so we swapped and she threw in so many extra goodies!! Thank you so much Chiara for swapping with me!!
