In & Out - April Edition

Hi ladies 


I have been a very bad blogger lately, so I must say sorry to that, but I'm here to deliver you my In and Out for the month of April.


You may ask why are you doing an "In and Out" blog post right now it isn't even mid-April? Well..here is my answer..I won't be here on the last week of April because my Family is coming, so that means less time to blog and more family time *big smile*


If you follow my blog, you know that I won't be here for the whole month of May because I'm going to the sunny Los Angeles and Las Vegas(well.. not really sunny, but better than Canad!). 


I have a little 5 year old sister and we will be bring her to Anaheim Disneyland(insert "where your dreams come true" ). I'm super excited to see her face when she sees all the Disney princesses(her favorite is Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and Jasmine from Aladdin). I will update you guys on that. Maybe take some pictures there and do a little Disneyland blog post. You likey?


Okay, I'm blabbering again. Lets me share my In & Out for this month


IN


Weather- It is still kind of cold, but bearable about 13 Degrees. I LOVE IT! I mean who doesn't? I can;t wait for 20 something degrees to hit Vancouver.


How I Met Your Mother- I can't say how much I love this show. My favorite character is Barney and Lily. How bout you? Do you watch How I Met Your Mother? If not, then you must!


Bright Lipsticks- Bring out MAC Show Orchid and Candy Yum Yum from the newest Quite Cute collection. Bold, bright, and beautiful. It might be tricky to wear this outside, but you can always tame it down with a nude lipstick right? That's what I do.


Longer days and lesser nights- The sun sets at 8 or 9pm. Two thumbs up for that. 


Body Shops trio blushers- When I have time I will review a blush trio from The Body Shop. Only sold in the US though, but guess what? this is a dupe for...wait for it... Stereo Rose! The Body Shop Trio blush has more raspberry tones, but very close to Stereo Rose. I'm really excited to do a review of it.


MAC Fix Plus - I use this spray everyday to set my makeup. There are tons of ways to use Fix Plus. I recommend you to watch my friend Holly's video and go subscribe!


OUT


Applying pastel nail polish- Do you guys know how much time I spend when I paint my nails with pastel shades? For example, yesterday I painted my nails with  the yellow polish from the Hello Kitty  collection in Sephora and I applied about 4-5 coats, but still it is very streaky. I also tried Essie French Affair and still..hard to apply, but the shade is gorgeous. I think I will leave that with a professional.


Not having nice camera- I need an SLR this instant. I need to invest on a good one. You guys know why? because my Sony Cybershot sucks when I take FOTD and OOTD photos. Any recommendations?


That's pretty much it


What have you been loving and hating this month?


Have an awesome Tuesday!

In & Out - March Edition

You guys know that Sunday is the laziest day of the week for me. I don't know why, but I just chill at home do nothing and catch up on some Youtube videos.

Well, anyways it's officially SPRING! Time for the flowers to bloom and us to have a smile on our beautiful faces and appreciate the sun(well, or rain!). I'm super excited for spring fashion trends, such as bright matte lips, the "no makeup" look, pastel nail polishes, strappy sandals, and nude everything!

So, I'll set the spring fashion trends aside for now and I'll share with you some In and Out for this month(March).

IN:

Weather- the weather is getting warmer here and I'm loving it. The only problem is that it is still raining quite a bit here in Vancouver, but I'm not complaining. I just want warm-ish weather that I don't have to wear 3-4 layers of clothes!

Long sleeve dress- I love how chic and sophisticated a woman looks with a long sleeve dress. Whenever I see someone wearing it, I just stare at them. I still need to look for a good one. Do you know any store or even online websites that carries pretty long sleeve dresses that I can wear for a dinner date/night out with friends?

Dark nail polish- Yes, it is spring, but I still love my dark vampy polishes especially Essie's Little Brown Dress- a blacken brown nail polish that goes opaque in one coat. I think pastel polishes are really nice and I will wear them soon, but majority of them are HARD to apply- streaky, thick/thin, and needs at least 3 coats.

Bath and Body Works- Bath and Body Works is stepping up their game. They released their new spring collection and I just want to buy every single one. I have this $10 off coupon from them which is valid tomorrow(March 21), so I will be visiting the store tomorrow and get some body lotions.

Forever 21- Honestly, I wasn't a big fan of Forever 21 and rather shop at Zara and H&M, but they actually have good clothing/accessories right now. The bad thing about Forever 21 for me is that I need to be extra careful with their clothes when I wash them because they shrink a lot(even if I put them on delicate wash) and I hang them up to dry.

American Apparel Online- They have good customer service and if you guys go shop now, they have nice clothes on sale for 40% off. I'm still contemplating if I should go and purchase a dress that I've been drooling over for how many months now.

Baby Oil to remove my eye makeup- YES! I use baby oil to remove my makeup along with my Neutrogena wipes. ad Sonia Kashuk eye makeup remover. I will do a post on how I remove my makeup.

Finishing products- Should I even explain this? I have about 3 blog posts about this, so check them out! :)

OUT

Money- there are so many good stuffs out there(clothing) that I want to purchase, but I need to spend my money wisely and just buy what I REALLY NEED(better said than done huh?).

World Catastrophes- Japan's earthquake and Tsunami and Libya's war. What is happening? Let's just continue supporting Japan and Libya and pray for them. Don't forget that you can help Japan's earthquake/tsunami victims by donating.

What are you loving and hating at the moment?

In & Out - Feb Edition

There are so many things I want to blog about, but sometimes it's just nice to do an In and Out post. These are the things I've been loving and some things that are just well.. "meh" for me.

So without further a do ladies and gents, my In & Out Feb edition.

IN

MATTE RED LIPS - I just love girls who wears red lips. When I see someone with a bold red(or red toned) lips it just screams "CONFIDENT!" I know not everyone can pull red lips, but there are some techniques that we(yes, I'm included) can do- apply balm, apply red lipstick on top, then wipe your lips with tissue, then finally apply red lipstick(just dab) again.

BRIGHT LIPSTICKS- Hello Spring. I can't wait to wear bright lipsticks. I actually tried wearing a bright lip(Full Fischia)it might not be appropriate right now, but I quite like it.

here are some bright lipsticks from MAC:

Saint Germain
Girl About Town
Neon Orange
Full Fuschia
Impassioned
Morange

STARBUCKS- Green Tea apple juice and Marshmallow dream bar- My two very best friend every morning before I go to work/school. The best thing about these is that they only cost 5
dollars all together. :) Horrah for Strabucks!

SUNNY BREAKS- Sunshine in Vancity for the past week! :D Good Job Mr. Sun! I heart thee.

VITAMIN C- Vitamins!? What the!? Yeap! I finally learned how to drink vitamins in the
morning and before I go to bed. If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I've been sick for a month- bloddy flu! I've been drinking Vitamin C twice a day, specifically Centrum and One A Day Women's(a big thank you to my dad because he keeps nagging me to drink Vitamin C for the past year :D)

DAINTY JEWELRIES- Feminine, classy, and chic! I'm still looking for nice dainty charms- necklace or bracelets. So if you guys know any site or seller please comment below. :)

MAC PETTICOAT MSF and NARS MADLY CHEEK COMBO- If you guys know me, I'm a Stereo Rose addict for the past months, but I should set that aside for now and use Petticoat for a change. I've been using NARS Madly and a swipe of Petticoat on top :) Perfect combo!

GUM- I need a pack of gum inside my purse or else I'll die for the day(well, not really, but I need to chew gum every after meal).

MAC TLC(Tinted Lip Conditioner)- I have Petting Pink and I've been wearing it under every lipstick. I love love MAC TLC's

SHORT NAILS- dark polishes needs to be applied on short nails.

OUT

MAC- STOP! stop with your overflowing collections please. We are not millionaires here! Please release a collection once every two months or at least once every month. I already saw about 5-6 collections for the past two months.

COLD WEATHER- I know it's been sunny for a week now, but the wind is just BLOWING HARD!

POSTMEN THAT DON'T EVEN PRESS THE DOORBELL- Come one! Ring the doorbell. I was at home the whole day yesterday and was waiting for you to come Mr. postman, but you just left a note outside my door. Why oh why!? Now, I have to go to 7 eleven to get my parcels :(

OPI MOD ABOUT YOU- Pretty color, but a mother to apply- streaky and thick! eew. I need a professional to use this and she can deal with the hard-to-apply polish.

FLAT IRON GIVING UP!- It's about time to change my flat iron. I had my Coriolis Flat iron for three years already, and it's slowly giving up on me. I bought it for $250 in 2008, so I'm on a hunt for the perfect flat iron :)

Have a good almost end of the week everyone :)

In and Out (Number ?)

Happy Wednesday to y'all.

How's the week going so far? Here, it's chilly and that means snow! I think I do have a love hate relationship with snow. I love snow because it looks like winter wonderland outside and I love playing with snow(I know, so childish), but on the other hand it's SUPER hard walk,drive, and commute to work/school. Do you hate or love snow?
I'm actually eating junk- chips and pop(yum!!!) while blogging and rambling about random stuffs, but I would like to share with you my first In and Out of year 2011. It's so weird writing"2011" because I'm so used to typing "2010", but anyways that's life.

Okay... so here's my In and Out- sorry I forgot what number I'am in already. Let's just say this is In and Out number 8.


My INS:

Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey- I L-O-V-E this perfume hands down. It's worth every penny and worth all the hype going around the beauty society. You can find this here. If you're not familiar with this specific perfume, this is what the website described it as(and they described it very well )- " A youthful and fruity fragrance, Nectarine Blossom & Honey is inspired by the delicious scent of just-ripening nectarines and a taste of refreshing peach sorbet. Mouthwatering nectarine and peach with hints of plum, blackcurrant and vetiver are combined with the sweet warmth of acacia honey in this truly seductive combination."

The packaging might not appeal to your eyes because the bottle is super simple, but trust me the inside will wow you. I highly recommend trying a sample first before you spend CAD$115(bigger bottle). They also come in a smaller bottle which is worth CAD$75

Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia- Yes another Jo Malone perfume. What can I say, I'm a little bit addicted to it. Eglish Pear and Freesia smells really good alone, but I pair it up with Nectarine Blossom & Honey. Take not, if you do not want fruity perfume stay away with these two, but Jo malone has a wide selection of perfume. You can find them here.- "This scent is inspired by a walk in an orchard and captures the luscious scent of just-riped pears, cooled by the autumn air, ready to twist free from the tree. Experience the surpirising, sensuous freshness of sweet pears, wrapped in a bouquet of white freesias, on a subtle background of scramblign wild roses and skin warming ambers, patchouli, and woods"

Jeweled Hands- I love statement rings and I know you guys know that by now. I love to wear multiple rings at once. I usually wear 2- 4 rings(2 on each hand). I do not know why rings attract me, but I think they are kind of my obsession as of the moment. Raise your hands if your a ring addict to.

Chocolate covered pretzels- one word: HEAVEN! I can eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was just kidding, of course I can;t do that I will die of hunger and pain, but at least I'm happy :D

Rain Boots- Ahh, this is a staple item to everyone who lives in a rainy/chilly/snowy country like Canada. I wear them almost everyday now. Oh, I have a quick question to ask you guys. Do you wear your UGG boots when it's snowing? I spray them before I wear my UGG boots, but I'm still scared it might have salt stains(white stain).

Blackberry Phone- I know probably majority of my readers own an Iphone, but hey, Blackberry is a nice phone to have too. I'm not really familiar with Iphone, but I'm loving the Blackberry Messenger on my Blackberry phone. Do you own an Iphone or Blackberry? Let's have some phone competition here. :)

No buying of Make-up- I know some people who bans themselves from spending on make-up. I know I can't d that, but Im trying to limit myself. I didn't even bother going to my MAC counter to check out the MAC Cham Pale, Peacocky collections, but I want them now. Hmm..should I go get couple of items from each collection?

NARS Madly- My all time favourite blush. I love this blush so much that I put it on top of almost all blushes I use(example: I put this on top of Well Dressed, Deep Throat, and Coralista). It looks great and you can also use it for contoure. What blush do you use for contoure?

MY OUTS:

Crappy Cold Weather- Basically, this is my only "out" for this month. If you are wondering how cold it is here, it is -4. I know, I shouldn't complain about the snow storm here in BC because poeple from Toronto and other province in Canda is experiencing worst than what we have here in BC. I just hate snow right now. I love the fact that it will snow, but as soon as the snow falls I want it to stop immediately. This weather makes me sick to. Boo. COme out Mr. Sun, I think everyone would really appreciate you right now. What do you like better, snow or rain?

Junk Food- Cold equals eating junk foods. That's how you do Math. I've been craving for cupcakes for 2 days already. I know, it's bad, but I haven't had cupcake for a LONG time. What is your favorite junk food?

There you go guys, That's my In and Out for January 2011. I will post another "In and Out" post next month. So Have a lovely week and stay warm.

xoxo, Kim

In and Out- November


It's already December! WOW November went by quickly huh? 22 more days before Christmas!

What will you be asking for Christmas this year?

Is someone asking their parents/husband/boyfriend to get them a designer purse? I think I will ask my parents for a Prada purse(lol). So, to my mom and dad, if you guys are reading this I want a Prada purse for Christmas, it's just $1250- no biggie! I'm just kidding. I'm happy with what I have. Definitely no makeup(or maybe the new nude collection from MAC coming out on Dec 26?) for Christmas this year.

So..guess what!? I don't have my beloved camera again, but don't worry I will get it tomorrow.

What will a lazy blogger do without her camera? An In and Out post of course!

Here are my In and Outs for the month of November.

IN:

Jeggings- I prefer jeggings over jeans that's for sure! I specifically love my Citizens of Humanity and Seven Jeans jeggings.

Coats- Definitely a must if you live in a cold country(like Canada!). I just realized that it's really expensive to live in a cold country. You need all these winter clothes and gears to keep you warm(gloves, rain boots, toques, scarves, etc).

Nutella Hot Chocolate- I'am OBSESSED with this drink! A tad bit of marshmallows and a tad bit of whip cream- voila! yummy goodness :)

Aveeno Moisturizers- I love Aveeno. I have been using their daily moisturizer every single day(twice a day) and my skin looks amazing. I have dry sensitive skin, so I need a light creamy moisturizer and I found it.

Bath and Body Works' candles- LOVE! I have four candles from BBW and my house smells delicious. I'm currently burning Mint Chocolate.

Twitter- well, who isn't obsessed with Twitter? maybe some, but it is addicting. I gained so many new friends. SO thank you to everyone who followed me. For those who aren't please follow me. I have been following so many people lately and it actually feels really good. So link up your Twitter page ladies and gents. I will def follow you guys. :)

Christmas Songs- Makes me happy and feel festive. What's your favorite Christmas song?

Lisa Taubes chain necklace from Lorraine Stanick- I just got mine a week ago and I have been wearing them non-stop this week. It goes with every outfit. They have the best customer service and mine arrived in two weeks. Im really impressed! Go get yours, or maybe give them as a Christmas present. I bet she will love them.

OUT

Crappy weather- who likes crappy weather!? apparently this winter will be coldest in 50 years!(for Canada). To my Canadian followers, let's get ready shall we?

Spending problems- I need to stop buying clothes/makeup. I have tons, and I need to be practical. UGH it's so hard to be a girl. :D

So...that's it for now, I shall be back tomorrow for some OOTD and FOTD. :)

What are your In and Outs at the moment?

Happy December.

In and Out (lost count)

So, I'm here sitting on my bed because I'm TOO LAZY to get up and take a shower, but I will eventually(after I drink my cup of coffee).

I just need to put this one up because...ehh...I just need to post up something before the week ends. I know I promised a lot of reviews and I will still do it... maybe tomorrow?

so here's my In and Out for November 2010

IN:

- Hot Shower- Yes, I'am in need of a warm cozy shower, and please add some lush soaps with that.

- Knee High Boots/Stripper boots(whatever you call that!)- NO I'm not a tsripper, but I love the knee high boots trend this season. I don't wear HIGH HIGH boots that comes up to your butt cheeks, but I wear boots that comes up just a tad bit above my knee.

- Rain boots- I live in a WET CITY, so rain boots are a must have! I need to get my hands on some Hunters!

- Leather Jacket- I already learned my lesson: Invest on a expensive leather jacket because it will last you a long time. I wear my Mackage leather jacket almost everyday because it is so versatile. I can wear them with almost anything.

- Starbucks Toffee Mocha Latte and Caramel Brulee Latte- NO WHIP, but with extra sprinkles please! LOVE sweet drinks. I sometimes like them as a frappuccino, even if it is cold
outside.

- Green Matcha Tea- Love Green Tea. I think everyone that follws me knows that. I think...

The Usual INS:
- Basic V-necks
- Sweaters
- Dark Fall Polishes(I currently have OPI Teasy Does it)
- Glitter accent nail

OUT:

- Crappy weather- I have nothing GOOD to say about Vancouver weather right now.

- Commuting- HATE commuting especially with this kind of weather- wet, cold and rainy. Snow is coming this weekend. Yuck!

- No sunlight- Less days and more nights! and this sucks!

- Two broken umbrellas this week- YES, it's the wind's fault. It broke 2 of my new umbrellas. GRR. Now, I need to buy a new one(maybe a more expensive, good brand one)

Basically, I don't like the weather at all!

So, tell me..what are your in and outs for this month?
That's it for me! I need to go shower now. Have a nice Wednesday or Thursday!

In and Out 7 (September)

Hey everyone

Sorry Ive been a very bad blogger.

Ive been very busy with school and work. Im here to update this blog and give you my In and Out for the month of September.

I know its cliche to say that September went by so fast, but it really did. On the bright side, I love October because a) it's my birthday (October 22) turning 22. and b) Its Halloween. Aren't you guys excited to dress up and NOT be you for a day.

Anyways..this will be a quick post.

IN

Sunny Vancouver- I know it's fall, but hello Mr Sun.

Deep Green Nail Polish- Im loving HUNTER by American Apparel. It's opaque in one coat. I recommend you guys to try this shade. I will dedicate a post for this specific nail polish probably tomorrow or on Friday. I love it so much! Have you tried American Apparel polishes?

Gold Jewelleries/accessories- I've been wearing faux gold bracelets, watch, necklaces and rings . I just love how it makes a statement. I can definitely wear a plain as in V-neck top with no graphics at all with these gold accessories. I love silver accessories too, but I prefer gold because it's more out there.

Low cut boots- I love low cut boots because they make me feel taller. Im only 5"3 and high cut boots will make my legs and body shorter. I envy tall girls whi can wear knee high boots! Im not saying that short girls can't wear them, but I just don'tfind it flattering on me.

Jeggings- Okay, okay! I get it why girls love to wear jeggings. They are super comfortable and goes with every everything. I pair my jeggings with a loose top, I bet there are tons of retail stores that sells jeggings. You just have to find the perfect one for you. I currently own two jeggings- Citizens of Humanity and Forever 21.

Cargo Pants- I think every girl should own at least 1 cargo pants. I own the J brand cargo pants and it's super flattering on my body. It makes my legs look skinnier and longer. I was actually hesitant to get them at first because they have many pockets, but Im really happy that I bought one. I have a gray one and Im thinking if I should get the army green as well. You can pair them with combat boots, gladiators, low/high cut boots, and flats.

Comfortable boyfriend fit hoodie- I can't live without these hoodies. I have the American Apparel look alike hoodies(the hoodies with the white strings). Everyone and I MEAN EVERYONE should own these. If I'm lazy to dress up(often) I just put on a plain shirt and wear a hoodie.

Make-up on a budget- No new make-up purchase for three weeks now. Im proud! I think Im going to purchase couple tomorrow from the MAC Venemous Villain collection. Im not a fan of this collection(the packaging is gross), but I want to check them out and will be purchasing a couple or maybe three? My budget will be around less than a 100 bucks. Save Kim, save!

OUT

I do not have many "OUTs" for this month, so bare with me. :)

Long Nails- Hate dark polishes with long nails. period!

Paler Skin- grrrr. I miss my tan. :( I need my tan back. I do not go tanning, but I think I need to go soon. Don't worry, Im not going to lay down on a tanning bed. I just go for spray tans.

No time for blogging- Sorry guys for the lack of post. I promise to post more soon.

less YT videos- I need more YT makeup videos from gurus. They do not upload videos that often anymore. I need some entertainment.

Soooo....those are my In and Out.

What will you look forward to next month?

In and Out # 6

Im bored, just got off from work and what better way to spend my afternoon than to blog.

Im here once again to share with you my in and out.

I do these kind of posts once in a while and I think that now is the time.

INs

Gold watch- Love love love my gold Michael Kors watch. I don't have anything bad to say about this because it's such a statement watch. I wear it everyday from the moment I bought it up until now. I prefer gold than silver because it's more out there-if you know what I mean. It just lights up my whole outfit. I usually just wear plain tees and accesorize my wardrobe and this watch is perfect.

Plain V-necks- I have a LOT of plan v-necks. Everyone needs plain tees in their wardrobe. I know it's kind of boring to see a person who wears plain tees everyday, but you can dress it up with a blazer od dress them down too. They are just super versatile. Who agrees with me?

Glitter on toes- I love glittery pedicures. I first paint them with a base then put the glittery polish on top. Im curently wearing OPI No Roon For Blues topped with Absolutely Alice! Perfect combination! I, however can't stand chunky glitters on my nails because it's a bitch to take off. I take several minutes to take the damn glitters on my nails.

Short classic necklace- I know long necklaces are in right now, but for a change I love my short classic necklace. I want a simple pendant and I prefer gold jewelleries too.

Pin straight hair- I still love beachy waves, but now that fall is about to come I prefer straight hair. I have natural waves and I love them. I just use my flat iron and it does a fantastic job!

Nude lips- I will always love nude lips. That's all I can say and nothing will change with that. I love coral and pink lips, but I always wear nude lips. Come one who does not want a nude lip? Pucker up those pretty lips!

NARS Casino bronzer- I love this for summer. I wear this everyday and it gives me a ntural glow. Now that fall is coming I think I will use my Laguna more often than Casino.

Short nails- I do not like long nails because it is hard to wear contacts and do chores. I can do anything with short nails and dark polishes will look nicer with short nails.

Got my car- I got my car back. As you know, I got into an accident and I just got my car after two weeks. I will promise myself to drive safely and be responvile with my newly fixed car! :)

OUTs

Pink lipsticks with blue or lilac undertone- It looks nice, but I will set that aside for now and wear my nudes.

Eating junk- I love junk food especially ice cream and chips, yum! I need to sut it down tho. Im trying to cut down my bad habits.

A lot of make-up- I do not want a lot of make-up on my face. I still prefer natural looking make-up. yes, I know I'am a makeup junkie, but I just wear liner, blush, bronzer and lipstick. That's it! :)

Fall is coming- I have mix feelings about fall, I love it and hate it at the same time. I don't know what I like haha. Are you guys excited for fall? share with us.

MAC- I LOVE MAC, but they release so many collections at the same time. They release a collection every other week or every week. People do not have that much money, but at the same time people do not want to miss out on the new collection right? what do you think? Is MAC cosmetics going overbored with this?

I have to enjoy the last week of my summer vacation. School starts next week. *cry* :(

What are your In and Outs? Share them with us.

Thanks for reading!

In and Out 5

I have a lot of things to share to you guys.

First of all, thank you, thank you so so so much for all my followers. You guys supported me through everything. I never even bothered expecting these much followers. Im such a suck up, but I need to say this things out. I really appreciate all my readers. This is a hobby and I enjoy writing things and sharing new products to you. I know there are a lot of haters out there, but just ignore them- block and delete! that's all I can say to ignore them. People will bring others down, maybe because they are jealous, but as long as you are happy no one can bring you down. Just stand still, chin up, have faith with your followers and do what you like and ignore all those haters.

wow..that's a relief. anyways Thank you <3

oh..and I have been receiving lots of emails asking some tips on how to start a blog. It is very intimidating to start a new blog knowing that there are a lot of good bloggers out there. Just put in mind that you blog because you like it and not to because you want to be famous in the beauty world. Do not expect anything and just have faith and hope with all your readers because they make it happen. Write what you like and what you are comfortable in. Do not think that blogging is a competition on who has more followers and what not, but appreciate each and every follower you have. Review a favorite product or post a FOTD or OOTD because who doesn't like reading those things.

so..

I have been enjoying new products and I have some no no's as well, so here they are:

INS


Rain- Ironic, I know because it is summer and I want rain because the sun is driving me crazy. The weather is really hot and humid- no breeze at all. It has been raining here, for 4 days already, so hello Mr. Rain!


Vampire Nail Polishes- Vampires again? I know, I know, but I love dark nails these days- Dark burgundy, green, navy, black. I know these are fall colours, but hey I do not follow such trends. I wear what I like and no one can stop me. Im wearing a dark burgundy red today expect a NOTD post tomorrow.


Argan Oil- This is amazing! I heard a lot of good reviews, so I bought one, read the directions at the back of the bottle and it is a miracle. It doesn't smell good, but it is an amazing hair treatment product. It really makes my hair smooth and shiny at the same time. It doesn't make the hair oily and leaves it frizz- free. I just apply Argan Oil on my damped wet hair and wrap it with a towel for 30 mins. There are a lot of reviews online, blogs, and on youtube. Do you guys want me to review Argan oil? Comment below :)


Acrylic Nails- It is tacky, but addicting! They are right, once you have them on, you will always want them back. Thank God, I got my mom's genes because my nails grow super fast.


Coffee- I drink three cups of coffee a day :| is that bad? I do not know why, but it makes me happy and hyper. Haha


Oversized Shirts- VERY COMFORTABLE!! you can just put them on without any effort. Pair them with shorts, skirts, leggings, etc. I specifically like white and lilac oversized shirts the best!!!


Swaps- I can't wait for my package to arrive. Amelia from http://cottonsspace.blogspot.com/ and I are doing a swap! I can't wait to get Barry M products! Ive been lusting for Barry M lip paints and nail paints for about 3 months now, so thank you Amelia. :) Anyone wants to swap? anyone? just comment below :)


Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment- I have been using this product for a month now and it really works. I use it every night before going to bed. The texture is amazing and it is not sticky. I hate thick and sticky eye creams!

Drinking lots of liquids- I feel healthier these days. I do not go to the gym that often, but I drink water and green tea. I drink about 8 glasses of water a day and drink 2 glasses of Japanese green tea(with the roasted rice on the bottom). :)


OUTS


Car Accident- Last week, I went to a nearby mall, and I was about to leave the parking lot and then...BAM I made a sharp right turn and hit a post. Now, my insurance will go up :|

A slit on the lip- Can't apply lipstick on anymore for about maybe 2 weeks. This accident happened last week, after my car accident (same day!) and now, there's a scar on my bottom lip(hit a cabinet). I miss wearing lipstick :( I had a bad week huh?

Haters- UGH! Go away and mind your own business okay? Seriously, bloggers and Youtubers put a lot of effort on this and you guys write mean comments. WHY? What's your purpose? to bring them down? They won't give up just like that!

share us your In and Outs :)

Love, Kim

In and Out #4

Hey beauties,

This is a post about my recent faves and what I'm dissing at the moment. For me, In and outs are half fun half boring.

Fun because I absolutely love reading beauty bloggers' In and Outs because it gives me and idea what they are loving and hating at the moment.

Boring because I do not have anything to post today, so I opted for this.

so enough with the chit chat and on with what this post is about.

Ins:

Essie Nail Polishes- LOVE LOVE LOVE Essie! some of their polish may be a little bitch to apply, but I haven't encounter any yet. I have Lollipop, Haute as Hello, Angora Cardi, Mink Muffs, and Candy Mint Apple or is it Mint Candy Apple? Whatever it is, I will for sure purchase more Essie polish. I should stop purchasing OPIs at the moment. Any Essie polish recommendations for me?

West Coast- The breeze, beaches, cafes west coast is the place to be. My summer is getting better and better every single day.

Healthy Glow- I take multi vitamins every single morning. I take them religiously to help booze my energy. For the past week I noticed a change with my skin, in a good way tho. I feel that my skin is better now- hydrated and moisturized at the same time.

Kiehls Products- I bought three products from Kiehls and they are phenomenal. I got the ever famous avocado eye cream, face toner, and conditioner. They work GOOD. I will be reviewing the avocado eye cream this week. I have been using this product for about two weeks now, so a review is on its way.

Rasberry Lips- I never thought I would love red tone lips, but now I do. Im in love with my Viva Glam Cyndi. I wear this lipstick on its own or usually mute it out with a nude lipstick like MAC Myth. It goes well with neutral eyes.

Short makeup routine- so I usually take about 20-30 minutes to put on my makeup in the morning, but when summer started, everything changed. I try to shorten my makeup routine in the morning- 10 minutes max. Isn't that awesome? I first put moisturizer, then eye primer, neutral eyeshadow, liner on my upper and lower lash line, mascara, bronzer, blush, lip balm, and lipstick. YES NO FOUNDATION. you asking what about lip gloss? I still use lip gloss, but not often. I just use foundation and lip gloss when there is a special event.

Jersey Shore- Yes I know, this show is non- sense, but it makes me laugh. new season coming up. SO EXCITED.

Pretty Little Liars- does anyone watch this? This show is awesome. Its not a vampire show don't worry :) It's basically about 5 teenage girls and one of them died. Now the dead girl is haunting the other girls. Well enough! just watch it :) I bet you'll like it

OUTS:

Foundation- I love foundation, but I think foundation and summer are not meant to be together. I still use foundation, don't get me wrong, but I try to minimize it. I only use foundation when I really have to.

Sun spots- I have sun spots on my face. I do not know how to eliminate them. My mom told me that they would not go away, but I can try to lighten them up. :( Do you guys know how? I always put sunscreen and moisturizer. I do not know what else to do. HELP

Rain- I need just a tad bit of rain. Poor plants, or should I say I need some cold air these days. I love the summer heat, but I need rain to- sometimes.

Thin nails- As you guys know, I just had my acrylics and after 3 weeks I took them off. Now, I have thin brittle nails. :( oh well the effect of tacky acrylics. I still love fake nails :) I might get one this week again.

mosquitoes- ARGH I hate them!!! I get bug bites on my legs ALL THE FREAKIN TIME. poor legs :(

So there it is my in and outs.

Next post will be a fave lip combo of mine then a review about the Kiehls avocado eye cream.

Have a nice week ladies :)

Hugs, Kim

In and Out 2

A lazy blogger would agree that In and Outs are the best post. haha! I love reading them, in fact I need to read at least 1 a day. It's interesting to know what people are up to and what disappoints them. I love knowing what people love because it inspires me to try the product and eventually I will have something to post on this lovely blog of mine. Yes, I know most of us are addicted to Youtube because uhm.. they are addicting(duh). I can watch YT for hmmm maybe 4 hours and learn something at the end. I have some addicting problems when it comes to watching these beautiful make-up gurus, but sometimes it's anooying to see if they are getting paid to make a video. Anyone agree?

anyways.. enough with the chit chat.

INs

- Reddish coral nails- I cannot state how much red nails attract me. I don't know, but they are just super classy and doesn't go out of fashion. It's sophisticated yet chic. You can have either long or short nails and still pull it off.

- Warm Weather- So summer is here, finally. Everyone has been waiting for this season, so they can wear their fave dress, flip flops, sandals, etc. I love summer. It's the best time of the year. Time to get tan.

- MAC Viva Glam Cyndi- HAHA are you guys sick of me raving about this? Deal with it. I love this. Enough said!

- Putting lipstick on w/o lipgloss- is it weird to put lipstick with out lipgloss on top? NO! I do it a lot for the past couple of weeks. I slap on any lipstick with no lipgloss. 1 thing I hate about putting lipgloss on is that my hair gets all sticky. ARGH. SO no lipgloss for maybe this month.

-Hit Pan- Im very happy that I hit pan three products already. I feel so proud and relieved because I know these products were well loved by me. I use them religiously every single day. These products are : MAC Naked Lunch e/s, MAC All That Glitters e/s and NARS Laguna Bronzer. YAY for me!!

- Seattle No Tax Policy- Seattle has a policy that when a country has HST tax, residence of that country will NOT be taxed. OMG!!! NO TAX. MASSIVE SHOPPING time.

-Lip Balms- I can conclude and assume that lip balms will be my best friend for this season.

OUTs

Essie Polishes- They are massively expensive here in Canada. I will not buy a $12 Essie Polishes just because I know I will be able to find cheaper ones maybe.....in the US? Are the prize of Essies really that expensive?

Dry Hair- Warm weather equals dry hair.That's the down part when summer comes-my hair gets really dry. I need to find a nice and effective leave on conditioner. Any suggestions? I have my CHI. I should probably use it more often.

Orange Nails- Sorry but I dislike orange nails. I don't hate it, but I just dislike it. I get sick with it faster. I try to put on orange polish, and then the next day I will take it off. I just can't stand orange polish on me.

Allergies- Time for allergies again. Pollen allergy to be specific. =(

HST Tax- Okay so here's the thing, starting July Canada will be having a HST tax. This means 12% tax on EVERYTHING. When I say EVERYTHING it includes food, clothes, accessories,etc. even baby food, baby clothes everythings 12% now. =(

What are you loving this summer?

Saving Up- Trust me, I've been saving! hahaha that's kind off hard to believe, but I'am. I want to be really practical when it comes to buying things.

I would buy it in white, black, lilac, red, etc. Isn;t that kind of a waste of money? yes! DUH! I should totally learn how to be really responsible when it comes to money. Hey! I'm learning!
