No, we're not playing hide-and-seek. Nor are we playing "Where's Waldo?" Otherwise, I'd probably lose since I'm telling you where you can find me. Sorry, I just really wanted to use those lines when I decided I would post this.  Anywho, Google reader is leaving us and I'm sure you've read of it elsewhere.  So to keep up with my newest posts, be...

I'm going to admit, I had completely forgot that I had only done part one of the Summer Edit. So without further ado, here comes part two.  Nail polishes have been in my life for almost as long as I remember. I still remember the clear plastic purse filled with 12 little bottles of nail polish my mom got for me one Christmas...

I'm a fan of anything that reminds me of the ocean. I've tried a lot of sea foam greens and aquas, and a few were quite pretty. But I've never felt like I've hit the jackpot.  That is, until this baby came my way.  I'm a fan of anything that reminds me of the ocean. I've tried a lot of sea foam greens...

I never thought I'd be dedicating a whole post to a top coat. I mean, really, compared to all the other interesting colors in the world of nail varnishes, a clear top coat is just boring.  I never thought I'd be dedicating a whole post to a top coat.

So I've been blogging for a while now and thought it would be fun to have you guys know me better.  1. I didn't get into makeup until last year. 2. My mom got my name from flipping through a baby dictionary.  3. I drink more coffee and tea than I should. (the grey part is what I text when I have too...

I finished the last exam of my last conventional year in uni!  (I'm taking an extend year abroad, but more on that later...maybe?)  It's definitely a relief in a way but at the same time, it's the door open to a scary, unpredictable future. And I don't handle unpredictable things really well. Grrr-  Anywho, onto what happened this week!  I finished the last...

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Laura Mercier Summer 2013 Folklore collection launch here in Taipei last week and I thought I'd share the amazing time I had there. One of the makeup artists I befriended a few months earlier called me a week before and convinced me to attend the event. I've always been a fan of Laura Mercier's...

I don't really gravitate towards bold blues, but after seeing the gorgeous hype on Baker Street by Nails Inc, I just wanted to get my hands (no pun intended!) on the rich hue. The closest I could come up with was the Bourjois So Laque in Bleu Fabuleux.  I don't really gravitate towards bold blues, but after seeing the gorgeous hype on Baker Street...

The concealer and the corrector from Bobbi Brown always seems to come hand in hand. If you’ve read my review on the concealer kit, you’d probably remember me saying that I love one more than the other. Today, I’m here to express my love for the better half of the duo – the Bobbi Brown Corrector. The concealer and the corrector from Bobbi...

I don't know about you guys, but Summer is coming up strong where I live. We've had a week of high 20s to low 30s (celsius, which roughly translates to high 80s in fahrenheit). I love being able to get soaked up in the sun when I'm not in a classroom or in front of my desk studying, but the humidity and the heat...

(I should've polished up the packaging and removed my fingerprints....sorry) Creamy dreamy - I just really wanted to say that for the longest time... I never really had a problem with dark circles until early last year and when I started realizing that they weren’t going anywhere any time soon, I started frantically researching which were the best under eye concealers. Almost everywhere...

Bright colors always remind me of summer. Especially greens and yellows. They're colors that make you feel happy without being overwhelming hot - like red and oranges can sometimes do. Or is that just me? Anywho, I've created two outfits below using two very bright colors - just to give an inspiration on how to wear more than one piece of bright coloring...

I saw this over on Laura's blog and it reminded me of the torturous games of "would you rather" back in the days of sleepovers and ice-cream. (Seriously, the questions that 12 year-old-me can come up with scares the heck out of current me), so naturally, I had to do it! Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses...

Serums are a fairly new addition to my skincare routine, but I think they're here to stay.  I initially bought the Advanced Night Repair for my mom but the lady at the counter took one look at my blemished face and threw in a small travel size. She told me that she used to have bad acne before she started using this serum....

May always flies by for me.  My birthday is in May and exciting things always seem to call up a meeting and decide to show up in May all together instead of evenly spreading out across the year.  I've been testing out a few products this month and have yet to finish the pile that I bought when I was in America. But...
