40 question tag!

HI ladies and gents! I was tagged a few weeks ago by my wonderful Malaysian friend SueLynn and I've been busy (my usual excuse) but decided to calm down with YT videos so decided to post it instead. (Major run on sentence huh?)

Anyways! here goes!


TAG - 40 Beauty Questions

SKINCARE

-How many times do you wash your face daily?
Twice - Once in the morning and once in the evening. The morning I just use my etude house acne cleanser ( I love this stuff! makes me NOT break out) and at night I use oil cleanser first to remove the makeup and the same Etude House acne cleanser.

-What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
I have combination sensitive skin.

-What is your current facial wash?
It's ETUDE HOUSE AC CLINIC acne foam cleanser. If you guys can get this please do this is the only thing I use that keeps my blemishes away. I use oil cleanser at night either by DOVE, FASIO, or TISS

-Do you exfoliate?
NO..I use fruit acids tho in my toner. If I exfoliate I use Bliss exfoiliant which lasts a lifetime.
-What brand do you use?
I just answered that!

-What moisturizer do you use?
At the moment,I'm trying to use up my endless stock of moisterizers. I'm using RMK serum, Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv ultimate lifting cream( wow that sounds good huh?)and the old faithful EMBRYOLISSE.

-Do you have freckles?
Yes - I've had numerous IPL treatments and V-beam treatments it just comes back so I have come to terms with them. *sigh*

-Do you use eye cream?
Yes, like my moisterizers I'm trying to finish the stock of eyecreams I have. Currently using Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv eye cream, Good Skin Labs Eyeliplex-2. BUT!!! I have to tell you the best eye cream I've ever used was by Sisley, either that or La Prairie. I guess sometimes price does make a difference. La Mer is awesome too but I rather not sell my liver to fund my eye cream addiction.

-Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
I never had a major acne problem, what I have is a major freckle problem. I get the occasional breakout from either too much binge drinking and not sleeping, or hormonal.

-Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
Yes, I tried my old roomate's once and it was horrendous. It was majorly strong. Stop believing in junk and save the money and see a DERMATOLOGIST, half the$ and more effective. IF you guys live in Van. the best derm is Dr. Phoebus Wong he cured my skin woes!

MAKE-UP
-What foundation do you use?
haha..I rarely use foundation now, since I use masks almost daily now ( wow the luxuries my skin is going through this whole unemployment phase) but if I do I love Giorgio Armani and Nars. I really want to try the Revlon Photoready but the lightest colour is a bit dark? ( if that's possible)

-How about concealer?
I use Skinfood's salmon concealer...it's the same as Bobbi Brown's but 1/2 the price and 3 times the amount.

-Do you know your undertone color?
If it's possible I would consider myself a neutral(pink) undertone. In my early twenties I was golden but somehow I turned into casper.?

-What do you think of fake eyelashes?
The reason for living.

-Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes, thank you very much. I wonder whomever made this tag ever thought they used a slight condescending tone!!! hehehe

-What brand of mascara do you use?
I like Maybelline, MJ,DEJAVU, I never use high end mascara.... because I use fake lashes almost on a daily basis.

-Sephora or MAC?
Sephora. Even thou I'm Canadian...I feel loyal to Sephora! I've been going to Sephora for over ten years and I always get that excitement when I walk in. Plus I get better deals at Sephora, and I like I can spend all day in there whereas at Mac I end up getting snotty service from an overtattoed wannabe goth punk.

-Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No. Will never get one either, since when am I skilled enuff to be a PRO at anything! ha!

-What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Err? what makeup tools? I use brushes, and eyelash curlers.

-Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Yes and No, most times I just use my Shu Uemura cream shadow in P Brown because I find other primers are too "heavy'

-For the face?
Yes, for UV reasons. I'm finishing up my Lavshuca makeup base UV.

-What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
DIOR- BEIGE MASSAI it's avail. at Sephora. (holy it's not NARS!)

-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
I use gel most of the time. ETUDE HOUSE CODE B is the way to go!

-How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Never, how fun is that ?poking your eye?

-What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I hate pigments....but!! there are some I love because the colour payoff is just amazing. Most of them are by MAC like antiqued Gold reflects or my personal fav. Crystallized Purple.

-Do you use mineral makeup?
I used to use bare minerals in fair like 6 or 7 years ago..but I found it quite heavy and cumbersome to use. I like that word. cumbersome. did I even spell it right?

-What is your favorite lipstick?
Mac Viva Glam II or Nars Belle de Jour.

-How about lipgloss?
GOSH lipjam in 102 the blue one. IM SAD im running out!

-What is your favorite blush to use?
POSIETINT by benefit (shock) Canmake PW20, or Nars DESIRE.

-Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
no. Im internet retarded like that.

-Do you like drugstore makeup?
I love it, esp Asian drugstore makeup, I find it sometimes far superior. PLUS NYX...who doesn't love NYX?

-Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
When I lived in the US, but whenever I went (Woodbury commons all my NY'ers u know WUTS UP!!!!!) the CCO there was massive ghetto.

-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Yes I did before by Shiseido like 10 years ago, but I didn't think it helped me much except for the facial massage technique.

-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
Yes...esp if I'm in a rush, but I'm never late because I am skilled in the art of TAXI MAKEUP.

-Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Cakey foundation. I know a lot of girls are getting wrinkly and want to cover more skin up,but seriously... take care of your skin! I see some of my high school classmates...and they look like they are 35 y/o.! You live with your face for the rest of your life, so take care of it. Some girls rather spend money on makeup instead of skincare but if you don't have good skin, the makeup won't look good. Sounds logic right?

-Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
I like neutral makeup, as you age and get older, the rainbow clown makeup shouldn't reappear. Unless u are really a clown. Then power to ya!

-Which celebrity always has great make up?
AYUMI HAMASAKI, or MIKA NAKASHIMA... awesome makeup.... plus AYU is like what in her 30's she looks awesome! Maybe I should contact her plastic surgeon? Oh the girls from Girls Generation have good makeup too , and 2NE1.

-If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?
BLUSH.. otherwise I'd look like a sheet of kleenex.

-Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
Yes all the time, and if you haven't noticed in most of my videos. I feel that unless u really need it, then use it. Think about how detrimental makeup is to the skin.... it needs time to breath!.

-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
I look gross, but what can I do? God gave me this face to scare ppl AHHAHA...

-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
Overall I think Nars, obviously for the colour selection. I also have to give shoutouts to RMK the most underrated makeup line ever. Awesome colours, works with everything, amazing pigmentation, and good quality. I also think LUNASOL has good eyeshadows.

-What do you think of Makeup?
A neccessity.

thanks for reading... BISOUS !! xoxox

Hi my loves!

OK 1 Million and 1 apologies for lack of posts. Cannot catch up with life, as im sure you've all experienced before. Some news of me? I've had a really really borderline swineflu like flu that just wouldn't go away. I've made some videos here and there, but otherwise, I've stayed at home really. I am currently living at my parents house now, as I get too lonely in my apartment. This friday I'm going shopping with Pru and it will again be bargain shopping! Oh...and I'm going to HK for a few days. As soon as I round up more peeps to go with me..im off to Egg Tart +Dim Sum land! yipppppppppie

(FYI my brother lives in HK..so technically I'm going to visit my familia)

A new necklace...

isn't it so cute and so dainty? I'm usually not a real jewellry buff but this really caught my eye and it's perfect since i love pastries! I got it at accesorize, and yes it was rather pricey considering it compared to street market stuff, but i just had to get it ! (Along with 2 other pieces) .... anyone want to share any pieces they got that they can't stop wearing???

Away again???

Sorry again for the lack of posts as I am eternally sick. Good news is I officially signed the papers and I'm free from "R" ;-P no hard feelings and we all remain good friends ;-P The bad thing is... right now I'm on an allergy diet to see what I'm allergic to as for the past week I've had chronic Urticaria (hives). I've had trouble breathing yesterday night and it's gotten really serious. I'm under medication now so things are looking good! A lot of ppl were wondering when I'm going back to Van , and that won't be for a while until my braces come off...which hopefully is boxing day. In the meantime I will go to Japan (Okinawa) maybe for the weekend and to Hong Kong to see friends and family. ! So if any of you guys are in HK Let's go LKF! and party it up!

Makeup updates:
currently Im using all Etude skincare products, esp the moistfull collagen stuff. *LUV*
I am also using La Roche-Posay tinted moisterizer as well....

I will try to do more reviews! be patient with me la!!

The following pics are from Rouge Deluxe sorry my internet is too crappy to upload anything at the moment.





These are the items I got from the holiday MJ collection. Wow MJ is really hit or miss..the model looks so... trashy? for lack of a better word... reminds me of those jack the ripper prostitute in the white chapel area. LOL.. Sorry i haven't been known to be a good "describer"

ANYHOO I got the secret lingerie body cream. It's delicious smells kinda fruity and florally at the same time.It reminds me of "silver dusk" remember that shimmery powder that MAC has? That was my first Mac product ...wonder if they still have it.
Then I got the powder, it's very light and it has a slight shimmer to it. Will look forward in using these for the upcoming holiday season. Why do marketers always think that holiday collections must use shimmer? Hmm..why can't I wear shimmer in the summer? Well that's another post! But only 3 stars for these products as they aren't really something to write home about...

nights babies

*bisous*

Back from Etude

So I just got back home from shopping at Etude and i got some goodies (along with some clothes but that's a bit boring eh?) I got the moistfull collagen cream set, which includes the ful size and a sample size and a small bottle of the eulsion. I got the moistfull massage cream pack, 3 nail colours, an eyemakeup remover, a black code B gel liner, and a makeup remover pump container. I LURVE this stuff. Pics wil be up soon..as soon as my internet isn't so PMS-y love u all xox bisous

I am now obsessed!!!

with ETUDE HOUSE PRODUCTS!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG I'm so happy with this stuff! Cuz it's so cheap well kind of ( korea is still cheaper then Taiwan) I am loving the gel liner in secret black! It's waterproof and emotion proof and I can use it on my waterline.. I'm going to do a full review later but now I'm going to get my hair washed. ( it's a taiwanese thing to wash your hair at the salon every other day hehe cuz it's so cheap!) toodles and love yas!
