Light at the end of the tunnel...

I know it's been a while since I've updated so here I am! I have midterms coming super soon...like this week so it will be a while before I update again. Lately, I've been going out of shape so I'm hoping exam season can act as a motivator for the gym as a stress reliever, hahaha. Meanwhile, I'm using the hula, hand weights, and DDR to work out. Since my PS2 died on me today, I think its time to add jogging to my regiment ^^.

Before I reveal my treasures of the week, I'd like to give a happy belated birthday to Amar, JDU and Trishie! I love you guys, mwah mwah! And FYI I am so not late XD I just posted it late on Blogspot, bleh. Now what did I get? Maybe I should just post it after I finish my midterms? hahaha, I'm just joking ^^.Today I got my Sims3 and my prize from Lisa's Giveway from Hi Qi Crystal Designs


Raw face XD ^^

I'm using my oh-so bright flourescent desk lamp to see if it will improve the picture quality on my macbook webcam. What do you think? I kinda miss the webcam on my hp. At least I could take pictures in natural light and not worry about the quality. Anways, The Sims 3 game is very different in comparison to the 2 previous games. I'm still cruising around to look for the functions but picture quality is very nice ^^ I not have both versions of Sims 3 and that makes me one happy gamer, hahaha. The itouch version is obviously much more simple but stil loads of fun.


Thank you Lisa! They cam all safe and sound ^^ I love everything you sent me.


Look how sparkly the necklace is!


This brush roll is so convenient ^^ I managed to fit all my brushes in it. It's very well made and when it gets dirty I'll just throw it in the wash. Thank you Yumeko!


FYI I'm wearing Louvre me Louvre me not by OPI




That's all! Stay well everyone, as the weather changes people tend to get sick easily so make sure you dress well.

Its the most wonderful time of the year ^^

I know. I'm bad. I'm sorry! School's been super busy and I start midterms and handing in essays on October 6th. poo! Anyways I just got everything on friday so here's my haul ^^



Yes, that's right. I got sucked into the gimmick of apple products. Comparing it with my old laptop the sound and webcam doesn't even stand a chance. The picture quality is quite grainy and sound comes out quite flat. It's okay when you use headphones but on speaker...well you get the idea. On the brighter side of things I'm no longer watching frame-by-frame lecture videos ^^. I hate it when the audio and video don't match from lagging wuuu~. It also took a lot less time to get used to the system, which I'm supper happy about.



As you can see, I refrained from buying too much makeup. I still need to get a new bottle of foundation but that's all for the next 2 months...I hope(crosses fingers). I really need to limit myself :S. I got this fall's edition of Queen's Magazine but havn't dug into it yet ^^ can't wait to read it,hehehe! I also got the St.Clara Sebum Set that Fuzkittie recommended from Imomoko.Last week, I found this set along with the other 2 sets at Pacific mall but the prices are around $27 CND per set. They also have Paul&Joe foundations for sale on the first level but prices are completely ridiculous. The prices range from $67-$88 CND taxes optional (gotta love asian malls ^^). So for all you scarborough ladies who don't like online shopping that's the price you gotta pay. If not, your best alternative is to get it on amazon.com; they're selling it for $38 US, which is around $42 CND.

During my trip to pmall last week, I managed to pick up 2 O.P.I polishes in Lourve Me Not and Yoga-ta Get this Blue!. Both are shimmers but colours are super pretty! They're perfect for the fall season! The only I don't like about them are the brushes. Unlike the sephora O.P.I brushes, these ones are double in width...do they usually come in with wide brushes..?



I must say that this was the first time I've bought so much jewelry in such a small timeframe ^^. I just couldn't resist and got a little bit from everywhere ^^.


American Eagle Outfitters - large heart pendant on long chain


GAP - large navy sunglasses


Custom that I did using stuff I found at a local beading store. Materials used: 2 onyx swarovski beads, flat black raw 18 inch string, and black/gold japanese bead. I probably wouldn've looked better on a shorter string ^^.


Kenneth J Lane - Strawberry Pendant on long chain.



My order from Mona ^^. I requested a custom for her and I got it sometime last week. I am in LOVE with it. I got exactly what I asked for; autumn-themed necklace that's simply and dainty. The bracelet is also very nice and sturdy. I thought that the length would be a little short for me so I requested a longer bracelet. Turns out I didn't need it, so now i have a bracelet that works as an anklete XD. I'll probably go get it shortened somehow.


Got this one on Etsy ^^. This place has tons of talented crafters! I got this bunny pendant from Whimsical Treasures.


Another Etsy order ^^ I did say that I got a bit from everywhere ^^. Though I think I would've like the silver one better this one is pretty too. I got this one from Wiyomu.


From lovely Steph! I got this from one of her lunch special events ^^ The free gift is a swarovski cellphone charm. Both are super sparkly and very cute!


First order from former HeHe Productions, now He Qi Crystal Designs. The earrings are just too cute for words >.< and both pieces are very well made. Also wanted to give a big thanks to Lisa for all the yummy candy and hk mirror. me lubs you!


Well that's all. Big haul ^^. My bank is crying SOS but I'm am glowing with happiness, hahaha. I won't be shopping anytime soon....especially with uni biting at my heals T.T wuuuu~ As I said in a previous post I won't be 'hauling' for a while so you might see food posts or just pure random things from me. I'll try to not neglect this place!

Story of my life and free bling

I'm bad. I know, hahaha. Well anyways the packages I've been waiting for are finally here and now I'm showing them all to you! So what came in the mail? hehehe, heaven!

I got some stuff a while back from Fuz's blogsale and I've in love! She even put in some extras ^^ thank you! I'm a little dark right now but the Makeup Forever Lift Concealer in Pink Beige 1 still blends really nicely with my skintone. I tried it on my eyes this morning and it really did cover my dark circles! hahaha. Comparing to my Benefit Bo-ing Concealer in 01 Light the MUFE one is much easier to work with and less drying on the eyes. I'm so glad I caught the sale ^^. Beside the concealer I also bought the Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect in Jersey Pink 157. Unlike the glosses from MAC it's not sticky at all and the colour is super cute. It's a nude-ish pink with gold shimmers. I'll probably go to sephora and pick up a few more glosses ^^ Then I got some freebies ^^. I got a sample size of Rosa Centifolia Facial Wash in Normal by REN: Clean Skincare and a pack of Cool Bathclin. I'm not particularly sure what I is so I hope someone can tell me what it is, hahaha.



Next I got a package from iMomoko. This was my first order so I decided just try out a few things. I got the Kevin Beautymaker Skin Repair Wakening Gel, Kevin Beautymaker Auquamarine Hydrating Lotion as well as the DARIYA Maegami Fringe Holder in Pink. So far I've been using the two beautymaker products together twice a day (morning and night) and I'm surpised by the quality. I can't say that it's extrememly moisturizing but it does work better than most drugstore creams/lotions. I also love how they smell! The repairing gel has a very light sweet lychee scent and the lotion smells similar but less sweet. Both products soak in the the skin very quickly and leaves the skin feeling light and silky. I also love the simplicity of the packaging.



That's it for now ^^. I still have one some things coming in from ebay and another package from imomoko because I forgot to add it to my cart with the previous order ^^. I will also be going to the mall soon since my part-time job will be ending on August 28 ^^. Tootles and I'll see you soon! Mwah Mwah!


I also want to mention that M Sparkless is holding her 200th Follwer giveaway! If you haven't seen stuff you should seriously go check it out!





Aren't they cute?! Hahahaha. Kudos to Mona! make sure to check out her other creations because they are all AMAZING!!
