I'm starting a new serie on my blog

Hello everyone,
     It's been more than four months since I gave birth to my daughter. And I've been meaning to share my thought of my delivery story and some products that I love to use with my cutie pie. Also, I'm going to start a new serie called 'Dear Jessi.' I want to write how I feel as a mum, how much I love her and how much she had grown each month. This is not to show off or anything, it is a place I would like to keep an record for her, when she grows older, she can come here, and read my feelings through these letters that I wrote. 

Hope you'll had a great night.

Seriously getting back on TRACK!!

Hello everyone,
      I know it's been a really long time that I have not posted anything on this blog. To whom may reads this blog, I am really sorry. A lot has happened for the last two years. I've been though a lot too. Now since I'm free most of the days, I should get back on my blog.
      First of all, my daughter was born on Oct. 19th, 2016 at 3:35pm. She is almost four months old. I'm really enjoying being a mum so far. Since my little Jessi was born, she has been sleeping through a whole night (average around 10-12 hrs per night). Motherhood has been easy so far. Jessi is not a crier either, other than she needs to sleep, she is uncomfortable in her diaper or these days, she cries/whines when she wants our attention. She is a perfectly healthy baby. Here is a photo of my sweet little Jessi at 100 days old.

     I just want to clarify here, I am not married, nor I am dating at this moment. So I am a single mum. Someone may ask, why being a single mum? I really can't tell you how blissed I feel from what I have experienced the last 4 months. Every time when I'm a little worn out or exhausted from clean up around the house, when I look at this cute face, my heart melts, and all my soreness goes away. Even through my pregnancy, this little one has never caused me any 'troubles' except she didn't want to come out. I have taken the risk of being a single mother with the possibility of having a child who may cries through the nights and days. She adores me when we are out taking a stroke around the mall, she keeps her eyes on me all the time. She is happy to see me the first thing in the morning, or when I'm changing her diaper. Everything so far proves that I have made the right decision for being a mum. I could not enjoy the moment a little bit more. I think everyone deserve their rights to choose to be married or be a single mum. To all the single mums out there, I am proud of being one of you.

     To carry on with what I started, I'm going to split this blog into two different areas. As per usual, I will keep posting reviews on beauty products as much as I can. I also want to add some contents for the mums and mums to be out there, what products I used for Jessi since she was born. All about infant/baby care.

Hope you all had a great night.

Getting back on track

     Hello, hello!!! I know, I know, it's been more half a year since my last post. I have to say the last 7 to 8 months have been a crazy ride for me. I switched between three different jobs. Now finally settle down on a job that I really enjoy. It's time to get back on track of my beauty blog!!!

     First of all, let me update y'all on my life. I'm back to school part time to study my professional designation (YAY!! One day I will become a CPA-Chartered Professional Accountant). Secondly, I have been trying to cut down my shopping spree, especially on cosmetics (I'm really ashamed how much I spent last year on cosmetics, it was only from Jun-Dec, simply 7 months, geez!!). Starting now, my goals for the future is to set a set of days that I will do a blog post and review something either I already own for a while (I do own a lot of stuff that I need to review) or something I have recently purchase and I have been loving it!!!

     This is only gonna be a very simple blog post update all of you who read my blog. I also want to say thank you for support my hobby (though it may not be a healthy one). I hope my future blog will give you somewhat an idea of a product that you might be interested in buying. THANK YOU and TTYL..

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette

Hey dolls,
     It's been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog. I have been really busy with both working 2 jobs and going back to school part time to get my professional designation. Today, I am taking a break from both working and school. I want to post something I recently got from Sephora, it is the the new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette. I think it is still a VIB Rouge exclusive right now, but it should be available very soon to all Sephora shoppers. I don't know whether I have said before or not, I have been loving the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Dim Infusion for the last a few months and it's been a staple item of my makeup routine other than my Becca Tint Shimmer Souffle in Lychee/Opal. I was quite excited when I saw Christine from temptalia.com post that Hourglass is releasing this new LE palette, I am also very glad since I don't own any other colour from this palette. So of course I signed up for the 'email when it's in stock' and bought it as soon as I received in the email from Sephora at 12am in the morning.
     The palette includes three colours, one of them are limited edition and exclusive to this palette. The other two are from the permanent collection.


from left to right: luminous flush, incandescent electra, moon exposure

and here is a comparison with the regular single Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush, the size of each blush is smaller than the single, but who can easily use up a blush. To be honest, I don't even know I will ever use anyone of these up. 


I hope you all had a great day!! TTYL love!!


Collective SEPHORA haul

Hey guys,
     I have been busy looking for a job the last a few weeks, now I need to get back to my blog and make it better. I have done quite a lot of Sephora trips since I came back from my vacation. Today, I'm gonna write a collective haul blog on what I have got so far.
First thing I got is the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hr blush in Captivating. I don't really own a lot of these Tarte blushes and I've been fall in love with coral/peach colour for summer once again. It is described on the website a "warm peach". To me, it looks corally pink :P

And here is the swatch on my arm.

My NARS radiant creamy concealer is getting a bit dry and patchy on me, so I decided I need a new concealer that is more moisturizing. I saw the Marc Jacobs Beauty has a brand new one and it's in pot which is a plus to me since I love using a brush and dip it in. It's way more sanitized than using my finger :P



Here is a comparison of the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla vs. the Marc Jacobs Remarcable concealer in 1 Awake.

Then, I oversaw Leanne (Instagram account: loveforskincare) posting picture of these bright neon lipsticks from Sephora Collection, I was so draw into the colour so I decided to go and grab a few. I got the colour "cougar" and "samba". OMG, they are so vibrant, and I love it so much. I've seen from the review on Sephora website some girl said "cougar" is the perfect Nicki Minaj neon pink, I think she is right.


Here is the swatch from left to right Samba and then Cougar.

sorry for posting this too late, I have been really busy with both school and two jobs. Have a great night gurls!!

Marc Jacobs Beauty Summer 2014 Style Eye-Con No.7 in Siren

Hey guys,
     When I read on temptalia.com that Marc Jacobs Beauty was releasing a great colourful palette, of course I couldn't resist and had to get my hand on one of them.
oh, yeah, that's right!! Marc Jacobs really changed the original sleek black palette to this cream white elegant and yet sleek palette. It is so adorable and awesome!!!


As the name described it comes with 7 eyeshadows, when I first saw this, it reminded me of rainbow. All of the colour are super cute for summer and special occasions. Here is a swatch of all the colours.
They are all super pigmented, and I just gotta say I love it so much!!!!

All shades of GREEN

Hi everyone,
     I woke up today and realized it's well into the summer, and my sensation of colour has changed. I looked around my room and realized that how many green coloured items I have. So here I decided to do a post just upon my recent purchase of shade of GREEN.
First of all, it's my Macbook, I've had this mint green clear case for it for about over four months now and I just love it. It's super lightweight and it fits my macbook perfect and protect it from all scratches and dents.


2. Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD headphone in light teal
     Here is my brand new Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD headphone. One of my mom's colleague suggested me to stop using in-ear headphone since they do quite a lot of damage to your ear drums and your hearing. So I decided to invest some money on headphones and who doesn't love good quality music?? Also, it is super cute with this pure teal colour all over instead of the old one where the ear cover was either in black or grey colour. I've just had it for a few days, I'm really loving it. Also, this is perfect for my electronic piano which needs an output, I'll probably plug this in sometimes and use it for my piano too.

3. Formula X for Sephora nail colour in "Inspiring"

(from left to right: Inspiring, A Little Sexy, Wunderkind, Supernatural)
     I oversaw this on Sephora website, but it was an instant sold out, I was sad I couldn't get my hand on it. But while I was in the store close to my home, I realized that they still had it, and OF COURSE, I had to get my hand on it. I grab two of them. The other one is called "A Little Sexy," it's the one right next to the teal colour, it's a really pretty pearly periwinkle colour. Both are great for summer!!!!

4. Insurgent by Veronica Roth

     Surprise, surprise, I was the last one discover how wonderful this book series is....oh, well....I finished Divergent while I was travelling abroad in China, but I couldn't get my hand on a copy of Insurgent while I was in China somehow. Well, I asked a good friend of mine to grab me a copy, and I fell back in love with the story once again. It's a great book and I love it. The book is in a shade of green, since I'm doing the them of green colour items, I thought I would put this in.

5. Spigen SGP Ultra Hybrid for Samsung Galaxy S5 in mint

     First of all, this is such a great case, it covers the back of my phone at the same time, it has a bumper all across the side of my phone so it protects my phone from dropping on the ground and scratch the side of my phone. It is retailed between $11.99-14.99 on Amazon.ca. It's a chic style for my phone and yet I can still access to my heart rate sensor and fingerprint scanner. 

Hope you all are having a great day,
