I have to say, September 2013 will definitely be a highlight in my life. But beauty-wise, there really wasn't much. Between moving between continents and into my dorms, makeup was kept pretty simple. Which you could read as me going barefaced pretty much most of the time.  I have to say, September 2013 will definitely be a highlight in my life. But beauty-wise,...

So a lot of you guys wanted more lifestyle posts of my life in London. I don't know how long this will last, but I'm cracking my knuckles and trying to tickle the lifestyle blogger in me.  So a lot of you guys wanted more lifestyle posts of my life in London.

I am known for my impulse buys. I'm the perfect customer that'll just throw all my money in your face if you're nice to me and puts effort into making a product sound amazing. So while I've done my research, I've still gathered a fair amount of 'regrets', if you may. I was hesitant to put this up as it's a rather negative...

I'm still finding my way through life in London so blogging will be on the backburner for a while now.  Last week, Kallie from But First, Coffee tagged me for the "Crazy About Lipstick Tag". Two months ago, I wouldn't be able to do this tag. I wouldn't even be interested in this tag. But with the amount of lipstick reviews that have been...

Between moving and me just not that familiar with bronzers, I apologize for not updating this series last week. However, this week we have something really fun - blushes!  Between moving and me just not that familiar with bronzers, I apologize for not updating this series last week.

I haven't done any life posts in the past couple months. Mostly because life started getting routine and I wasn't sure that me bickering with my sister would interest any of you. But as there has been some massive changes in my life the past couple weeks, I thought I'd embrace the lifestyle blogger that's somewhere in me and give you guys an...

I've been ranting on and on about Autumn coming in The Colder Weather Edit, but it's actually the first of Autumn today! Well, not "when I'm typing this post up" today, but you get the drill. I've always liked the idea of seasonal body care, but there are times when you just can't bring yourself to splurge on a yummy pumpkin body wash when...

 As this post goes live, I'm guessing I'll probably be somewhere over India....I think. But I definitely know I'll be up 3000-feet in the air somewhere between Bangkok and London. This is another post of me being nosey and assuming that everyone else likes being nosey as well, so I'm going to give you a peek of what's in my survival kit for...

Um...so I didn't realize that this photo was so out of focus until now. But you can see the color perfectly. That's what's important, right? Talk about a mouth full for a title. But really, with a name like that, how could I pass up the chance?I never thought I was a pink person. And then I fell completely heads over heels with my...

It's like I constantly forget I only have one face. I'll have to admit, I'm a bit of a foundation snob. First off, I'm horrible at matching myself up to shades at the drugstore. Secondly, as I'm going to be putting this all over my acne/scarring-prone, sensitive, moody face, I want to make sure that it won't worsen my skin condition. So while...

I call this the weekend face, but it's mostly what I've been wearing the past week. This week, I've been scrambling around to get my stuff packed, that means my makeup as well. While it's still not snug in my luggage, it's already packed in a box that's so organized, I almost pain to rummage through it. So I've been sticking to the...

I was going to call this The Autumn Edit, but then I realized I'm talking about the better half of the year, in general. Hence, the title. We'll see if I come up with The Winter Edit in a couple months time. Autumn and Winter are by far, my favorite seasons. Growing up in Minnesota, a state that snows through almost half a year,...

Summer is still going on strong as I'm typing this up here in Taiwan, but it seems like the rest of the northern hemisphere has already entered the chiller months. I can't wait to be joining them in a couple weeks, but before then, I thought I'd look back to the most loved products for the past season and apologize as to how...

Foundation is one of those things that I never thought I'd ever be crazy for. They're nowhere near colorful as eyeshadows, nor as fun as lipsticks. But as soon as I started really diving into makeup, I started realizing my mistake - foundations are freaking interesting. Seriously. It's ridiculously hard to find a holy grail that'll give you the coverage you need, the finish...

I vividly remember the day that I got the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Coralberry. As usual, I was spending way too much time strolling down the aisles of Watsons (aka a drugstore). The displays were the same, the products were the same, and yet, I was strolling down the makeup aisle for the sixth time in the past 15 minutes when Emma...

I've always had my hair long. Well, not always. I've had a few disastrous right-under-the-shoulder midlength cuts. But for the past seven years, I've always had my hair long. And while I loved it, there was that little part of me itching to cut it short(er). But alas, I have naturally wavy hair, and my stylist kept drilling "you can't have short hair unless...

I'm trying out this new thing where I try my best to come up with witty titles that don't suck...that much. I'm still easing into things ladies, so bear with me for a couple of posts. If things don't work out, we'll go back to the standard titles.  I'm trying out this new thing where I try my best to come up with...

I love everything I got in this haul. But the shame comes from the fact that I am supposed to be on a spending ban.Okay, let's back up for a moment here and let me tell you the amount of self-restraint I had for a second there that I'm more than proud of. I love everything I got in this haul. But the...

If you've been reading my blog, then it should come as no surprise that I am a concealer freak. I'm always on the good hunt for a good concealer because I don't think I could feel complete without it. Kinda like how life wouldn't feel complete if you could only have toast and not Nutella spread over it.  If you've been reading my...

I have so many feelings about this month's favorites. It's the last favorites I'm going to be typing up in Taiwan for a long while. I just have a lot of feels okay? (Especially since I feel like my feelings were completely shattered this morning by George Blagden and tumblr) (if you have no idea what I'm talking about, good for you. I'm...

It's the first of September and I thought I should post. Which better than the First Time tag? I'm not going to make the usual, "No, it's not that first time, you pervert," but seriously, it's not that first time. Tagged by the lovely Dhara a while back, I had forgotten about this tag for the longest time. I know, I know, the shame! But...
