I have an extra bottle of Essie’s Mint Apple Candy, so giveaway time!

Quite possibly one of the hottest colors this season. If you’re interested in swatches, here.

To enter, leave a comment letting me know what you’d like to see more of on this blog.

This giveaway is only open to US residents. I’ll be taking comments up until midnight on Friday, July 23.

Good luck!

Scans: Mini Factory

Haven’t posted scans in a while. These are from the October 2008 issue of Ceci China, which showcases various workspaces, cafes, and little stores.

Finally got this overpriced bastard. I’ve been itching to buy it for months now.


What’s in my bag — umbrella, card holder, 2 MAC lipsticks, phone, pouch with band-aids, floss, etc.

Mildly obsessed

I uploaded these photos in February. I have bought so many more pairs since then. Sigh.

Am contemplating another piercing just so I’d have another place to wear another earring. Double sigh.
(Will 95% not do this. Wishful thinking.)

Formspring.me #1, beauty things

Someone asked me on formspring:

whats your skin care/make up routine?what products do you use?

I’m not usually a big skincare or makeup person, because my policy has always been, if you live right and eat right, it’s better to keep those things to a minimum lest you develop a dependency for them at a young age. But in the last couple of months I’ve started being a more frequent user of both. I’m pretty big on eyeshadow though, my one weakness :(


On the days I use shadow, I stick to MAC’s Relaxing, Naked Lunch, All That Glitters, and Smashbox’s Smokebox. MAC’s Relaxing is my favorite eyeshadow of all time but I found out that it’s a limited edition color and I haven’t been able to find a similar shadow from MAC or other labels :(


Also a fan of blush. I’ve got a golden complexion, so peachy stuff works best for me. Pictured above are NARS’ Orgasm and MAC’s Apripeach. On days I just want a little color, I use Bare Mineral’s’ Golden Gate.


I went through a phase in high school where I bought a lot of makeup but never used it because I just didn’t know how to. Now I’m slowing buying one or two pieces at a time and actually contemplating when I will use it to maximize the product’s effectiveness. Currently into buying lip stuff. Above L to R: Fresh’s Sugar tinted lip balm, NARs’ Falbala, and Benefit’s Flirt Alert.


Fail safe lip stuff. I like the Burt Bee’s and Ecolips balms because they’re minty. Nivea’s balm is really saturated with color. It actually could work fine as a lipstick.


Stuff I bought today: NARS bronzer in Laguna, Bare Minerals’ powder, powder/bronzer brush, brush cleanser.
