Happy Lunar New Year!

Happy New Year!
Wish everybody good health and a prosperous year :] (It sounds much better in Chinese. It doesn't sound as smooth in English. lol)

and...

Happy Valentine's Day!

and...

One year mark for me since I got my braces off! ^__^ How exciting. Exactly one year! After around 3-4 years I finally was able to get it taken off last valentine's day.

Also!!!

I was tagged last month by Tammy to do a color tag. It was hard because I don't have many red objects in my room. So a couple of days ago when I finally had the time to, I searched high and low and dug through my things and found some red things to show you guys :] It's not very exciting though, please bare with me!


A heart nightlight that I got when I was maybe...8 or 9 from Ikea.
*Shh don't tell anyone but I'm afraid of the dark! :X


A heart pillow that I think I got from a street fair a couple of years ago.
I have too many stuffed animals and such to remember where I got each one from!


Minnie & Mickey that I got from Disney Land in California 2 years ago during spring break. The first time I went to Disney and the first time I was with my family in California :]


I cheated. The stars aren't red, they're pink. But the bottle I promise is red! I use to fold a lot of stars. I have accumulated too many to continue that hobby.


A very cute stuffed animal that my friend gave me for Christmas in middle school. It isn't red but it's collar and tag is! Who doesn't love to see cute stuffed animals?! :P

Now I tag anyone else to would like to do it :]
The color I choose is...purple!

Winner!?

A couple of months ago...
I won a giveaway hosted by Treasure Trove of Makeup.
I received the package a while ago, took pictures, and even uploaded them. But I have yet to blog about it. Shows how great of a blogger I am. >__<




Yummy chocolate :] The accessories are really cute but I'm not confident enough to wear such bold accessories. Hmm need to overcome it so I can wear them!


I love cards! Especially ones that have writing in it :]




Jemma Kid Blush Concentrate in 01 Pose
My first blush.



Sleek Bronze Baby Face & Body Highlighter
My first Highlighter/Bronze


GOSH Extreme Art Eye Liner L to R: 24, 20, 06 10 and GOSH Nail Lacquer in 546 Rainbow
My first eyeliners. Such pretty colors!


Jane Iredale chocolicks Caramel
Smells just like caramel (oblivious :P) very yummy. I want to eat it more than apply it on my lips!


L to R: Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Moisture Cream SPF15, Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules, Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Lift and Strengthening Eye Capsules
Does anyone know how to use the capsules? I'm not too sure if these are for my skin type since I'm only in my teens >__> Maybe I'll see if my aunt can put these to good use.


Loreal Paris Eyeshadow
I'm not sure what the name is because there's a barcode sticker right on top of the label.
My first eyeshadow.

I think this package was really great. I'm a total makeup newbie and all I have was base products like primers/bases, BB Cream, a couple of lip products. Now I have so many new things to try. Thank you for the great giveaway. I still can't believe I won. ^__^

January Haul

Yes, a haul post again. Doesn't seem very exciting. But my spending journal needs to be...updated. I will try my best to post up a review soon. I even wrote down my thoughts! Just have to find time to type it all out :] Enough with things that I keep saying I will do (:X). Here's what I hauled in January:


Kose Cosmeport Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil
I was finishing up the Mandom Cleansing Express Sebum so I thought I'd try out different cleansing oils again.


Hurricane Nail Art Paint
Bought this at the beauty supply store in my neighborhood. I didn't have anything like this before and I wanted to try something new. Not sure how it compares to Art Deco, but this chipped within a day or two (I only used it as a French tip though.)


MAC Fix+
Usually, people get the Evian Water Facial Spray after they finish their Fix+, but I did it the other way around. I felt it was a bit on the expensive side, but there are better things added to it when compared to the Evian spray (which is apparently just mineral water?). And I don't use it as much so I think it'll last a long time :]


Maybelline Pure Concealer in Light
I went into the local pharmacy in search of the SkinMD Shielding Lotion but I couldn't find it on the shelves. Instead, I saw this. I'm having a bit of a concealing craze right now. And it says it has salicylic acid. I couldn't resist :X Will see how this goes. I know big chain drugstores don't sell these anymore but it's still on the Maybelline website (the last time I checked.)


SkinMD Natural Shielding Lotion
All those reviews on this sucked me in. I was going to wait and see if I would be lucky enough to win a giveaway. But...when I went to the pharmacy that the site said carried it and saw that it was nearly half the price I couldn't resist. I plan to use this after I finish my current moisturizer. I hope it works well for me.

I think I did pretty well at controlling my spendings. Compared to previous months. I don't think I'm going to be buying much unless I finish a product (skincare wise) or use up a noticeable amount (makeup wise). Need to help my parents save up money because they're going to start remodeling/rebuilding the new house in the spring and they'll need all the money they have. Can't spend money on things that'll make me happy because the house will make everyone happy. At least I hope so. Family relationships with relatives have gotten very bad within the last couple of months. But that's for another post if I feel angered enough that I need to rant.
