Little Black Cat

Today I decided to play with my makeup & dressed up and didn't realize that I look like a Little Black Cat until my husband mentioned it, minus the cat nose, whiskers and ears.  I didn't put on a lot of make-up, the products that I used were fairly light.  I used my Dior foundation and really enjoying using it so far and realized it gives me a nice complexion and reduce red blemishes and hydrates my face at the same time.  I topped off with my Paul & Joe Blush, Dior Addict Lipstick and as for my eyes I just line my eyes with a black eyeliner.  For the eyeliner I decided to give myself a wing, but not too over dramatic and it stand out as I like it.  Here are two FOTD of the pics that I took:

Dior Addict Lipsticks Haul

I recently took advantage of the F&F (Family & Friend) Sephora promotion and purchased two Dior Addict lipsticks.  The colors aren't eye popping but yet rather simple and nude shades that I got to replace my Neutrogena Just Whisper because my daughter ruined the lipstick.  I also wanted to get the new Nars Winter Collection blush called Sex Appeal.  However; when I first saw it, it was a beautiful peach and can't wait to tested out.  After swiping it on my arms a few times I don't see any pigmentation at all and was truly disappointed that it wasn't pigmented enough for me.  Then I decided not to get it and save for something else in the long run. 

When I got to the counter, I told one of the sales rep if I get a 20% off my purchase. The sales rep asked me if I have a card for it and said I just heard about the promotion through via websites and since I'm a V.I.B member as well. The manager generously gave me the 20% off at the store and so I saved myself $10 something from it.  I'm pretty happy about the purchase that I made, but still kind of bum out that Sephora has not released Bobbi Brown at the store yet.

Here are the shades that I got and like I said it isn't eye popping or eye catching, it's simple shades just to keep my lips moisturize that's all. I'm not sure why the lipsticks appears to be darker than it is.  Anyway have a good weekend, hope you like this review.

The shades that I got are:

• Lipcolor: 323 Rose Lingerie
• Lipcolor: 663 Rose Broderie / Pink Embroidery

Hey does your website have anything to do with the book Peony in love?

So this morning someone e-mailed me without leaving their e-mail address back asked me this:

Hey does your website have anything to do with the book Peony in love?

And here is my feedback:  this site doesn't have any correlation to the book called Peony in Love and I'm truly sorry to disappoint you, if you need to find reference on this book please go to the following link http://www.lisasee.com/peony/ to find your sources.   I'm not the young maiden lover called Peony, but in my heart I'm a young lover who is obsessed with make-ups and I'm a make-up addict junkie who don't believe foot binding is sexy.   It just so happens that I like the name and so I decide to purchase this domain name.

I would also have register a domain name called Shanghai sisters, but because of that I didn't register it because I do not have a sister from Shanghai nor I am Shanghainese.  I do recommend to read this book, it's wonderfully written.  It's a touching book that made me shed like a baby at the final chapter of how two sisters migrated from their own homeland to America with so much uncertainties and I bid you a good day.

How to Uglify yourself

I know I haven't been posting or have done any reviews. I've been so busy with my daughter's school and wish not to disclose any information and I apologize for that.  I just wish I could have the time to play around with my make-up more but since I'm always in a hurry getting out; I have been a mess.  I will try to get some face of the day shot done, but I stumble across this unique video and it'll be a great every day look for myself instead of Halloween look.  I want to uglify myself without so much efforts making myself look nice and all.  Enjoy this tutorial, BEAUTYQQ has been my favorite youtuber so far for now because she's real and down to earth when it comes to make-ups.  I love how she look even being 38 she looks really great and I wish I could stay young just like that.  Anyway have a good weekend everyone.

Bobbi Brown - Sephora

I'm really excited that Bobbi Brown cosmetics is going to be released at Sephora. Currently Bobbi Brown makeups are being sold online right now and has not been released in stores yet. I asked one of the sales rep at Union Square location in New York City that the makeups will be released on October 23rd or the 25th. I can't wait to see the stuff in person. I heard a lot of good raves that her makeups are the greatest and I read part of a section of her book how to accentuate a good look for Asians.  I can't wait to stock up on some of her stuff since I have remaining balance on my gift card. 

Any recommendation what I should get?

Paul & Joe Eyeshadow Hauls

I finally received my Paul & Joe Eye-shadows. I'm pretty impressed and love the natural shades of these two palettes that I got.  I like the pigmentation and it looks very natural that settle onto my hazel eyes.  On my prior post I mentioned that I got this at http://www.beautystory.com at 50% discount plus $10 off with a promo code.  As for the shipping it took a pretty long time for it to ship, but the packaging was superb. The Paul & Joe packaging is still in neat condition and I'm impress that it didn't get damaged at all.  Will give you a full insight on this palette once I have time to play around with these palettes.

Zapzyt Review

In this post I will be reviewing this product called Zapzyt. Zapzyt is a pimple cream that helps you zap pimples.  Normally I don't tend to break out a lot, usually I get about 1 or 2 pimples in a month and so I was surprised that my local drugstore sold this.  I went ahead and brought this. I want to tried it out because I heard great reviews and that it delivers the fastest results of clearing your pimples.  I applied on during the night time and next day I didn't see any results of having my pimple clearing away.  In fact it made my face drier because this cream contain 10% Benzoyl peroxide.  Then I realized that my face was drier, I had to put a stop on using this and go back to my face cleansing routine.  A bit disappointed in this product, but I'll try to give it another chance.

What kind of regiment do you use to help you fight your pimple?

Concealer

I find that concealer is the most important ritual when applying my make-up.  There are days that I would have heavy dark circles and concealer helps me conceal those dark circles to make me look freshen up for the day whenever I go out.  I haven't really research any particular brands that is a perfect for my liking, but the one that I use the most is my Clinique Concealer - all about eyes concealer.

This concealer glides on pretty well and hide my dark circles and red blemishes as well without feeling cakey.  I have went to Sephora and tried out a few other brands before purchasing the Clinique Concealer and felt some of the concealers is too heavy and felt cakey at the same time.  As for the Clinque Concealer that I got, it runs pretty smooth and it's not liquidity.  It comes in a tube and that you can gently pump it out and apply it on your finger tips, which I find it a lot easier for me.  

What kind of concealers do you like?
