In & Out - April Edition
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
Friday, February 18, 2011
In & Out - Feb Edition
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

In and Out (Number ?)
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 (lost count)
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?

In and Out 7 (September)
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 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 2
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 want to buy something I don't have rather than buy something I have. Before, I would buy every color of a top that I want. 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!
