I'm not a loser! :]

Hehe Corny Title...I know :P

It's always so exciting to get things in the mail! A couple of weeks ago I won BirkinBagBeauty's Valentine Giveaway. Like all the other times I was expecting much. And I misread and thought I was just getting one of the items she showed but I actually won all of them (silly me!).

I'm very happy I have these since they're probably things I wouldn't buy (as of right now) because I haven't gravitated my interests towards red polishes and eyeshadows yet. More products for me to play with ^__^

Thank you again for the lovely giveaway & the extras you included!!

Wonder Woman!!

I didn’t grow up watching/reading Wonder Woman but she is nonetheless a classic heroine. Wonder Woman + MAC + oversized jumbo products = EXCITEMENT :] But I have to admit..I definitely have a problem if no one realized already =X I think I’m going to limit my MAC/high end purchases until I actually used a lot of the products that I currently have or until April when this certain MAC collection comes out with mineralized blushes. Don’t judge me..! *Looks away*

The products that I purchased were all limited edition and twice the sizes of normal products. This is the only reason why I allowed myself to purchase these items. They’re twice the size but not double in price. I’m in denial. I can’t control myself! Making up excuses all the time for my spendings..

I was actually able to get these a day before the official release at the MAC pop-up store in Soho. I’m not sure if it’s a permanent store or not because MAC Soho’s original location (literally 2 store away from this pop-up location) was already being renovated for something else. The pop-up store was completely decorated with the Wonder Woman theme. I wonder if they’re going to be changing it once this collection fades out?



What pretty packaging!
I already keep the boxes of most of the products I purchase, but when I do decide to throw those away..this will not be one of them :P


Inside of the boxes. So patriotic!

It looks a little cheap IMO But it is pretty sturdy plastic.

I think this one is more true to the color in the pan.

This one is closer to the true color. It might be a smidgen darker though.

Did anyone find this collection captivating? Who else couldn't pass up on the jumbo products?
I was also interested in a lip gloss but decided against it since I don't even wear lip products often.
I'll try to post comparison photos to show you just how jumbo these products are soon! ^__^ You'll be very surprised if you haven't already seen it.

Chinese New Year Parade @ 8th Avenue

Yesterday was the day of the annual CNY parade on 8th avenue, hosted by the Brooklyn Chinese-American Association. And recently (last few years), it's become a tradition(?)/habit for my family to go down there and just absorb the festive atmosphere.

It does get redundant after going for so many years. But this year I was excited to take photos with my DSLR. I didn't get to take as many AMAZING photos as I wanted but it was fun nonetheless. My first adventure with my new camera :] I hope to do this more often around the city in the upcoming months ^__^

I did take much more photos. Many were very random..just for fun shots while others had people in them. I don't think those people would like to see photos of themselves online without permission. =X















------------------------------

On our way back to the car I saw this lovely little fella (or gal idk which one lol). It was just sitting there. Wonder what it was waiting for? I felt so sorry for it after my horrible brother threw snow at it =.=;; I hope it's alright!





------------------------------

Our choice for lunch. Usually, when we're at 8th avenue as a family we either go yum cha or eat Vietnamese food. I wanted to try something different for once, especially since my brother never likes to try new foods (he's missing out!). This is my second or third time eating Malaysian food..ever (that I can remember). It was yummmyy! ^__^

My favorite!!! My mom thinks it's because apparently she made similar type noodles often when I was younger...No wonder why they looked familiar! lol
