A Fail OOTD and Simple FOTD

I haven't done this in ages! I can't really give you guys the best picture quality whenever I take FOTD and OOTD photos because I'm using a ghetto-ish camera. I should probably invest on a new one, so suggestions please? anyone?

Anyways, if you guys are wondering about my giveaway winner-WHY I HAVEN'T ANNOUNCE THE WINNER YET. It's because I'm really having a hard time choosing a winner. If I can just choose 3 winner, then that would be A LOT easier, so please bare with me as I decide who the winner of my giveaway is. Thank you so much for your patience.

Back to the topic..

Remember the Cynthia Vincent for Target wedges that everyone has? Well, I wasn't able to get them, but I told myself that I need to pay attention next time. So recently I purchase this Dolce Vita wedges at Target and they are the most comfortable wedges I own. If you live in the US, then please go to Target and purchase one. You can also do it online, but put in mind that they are a size bigger than usual, so I'm a 7, but got a 6. They only cost $39.99 by the way. What a deal right? Dolce Vita shoes cost around $150-$200, so grab one now before it's too late.

and..the fail OOTD.

Again, sorry if I don't have good quality pictures to offer you, but I will try to save money to get a new camera.

I know, it's simple, but I just went to the mall with some friends, so opted for something mall appropriate.

Tank- H&M

Off shoulder top- Forever 21

Leggings- Talula

Wedges- Dolce Vita for target

Necklace- Aldo

* I found this unique bracelet/necklace at the mall today. I will share them with you as soon as I have the time to take pictures of them.

And the SIMPLE FOTD

You guys know me right? I don't like wearing colors which I know I should try, but not that brave. Anyways, I didn't wear any mascara and foundation today. I'm trying to keep everything simple and that's my goal for spring- simple and fresh looking face.

I'm still using my "products of the week". I'm going to be using the same products until Sunday and then switch it up next week.

FACE:

- MAC Studio Finish concealer in NW 20

- MAC Natural Skinfinish in medium

- Benefit Hoola Bronzer

- MAC Coygirl blush

- NARS Copacabana illuminator

EYES:

- MAC painterly paintpot

- MAC Superslick liquid Liner

- MAC Eye Kohl in Stubborn(brown)

- E.L.F Saddle for lower lashline

- MAC eyeshadow in White frost for inner tear duct

LIPS:

- Carmex lipbalm

- MAC Shy Girl lipstick

Can I ask you guys to look at my hair :D? I've been using the John Freida 3- Day Straight spray and I'm happy to report that I've seen good results. I spray this first, then flip my hair and blow dry. I didn't even use a flat iron for almost a week now and my hair is still straight. Two thumbs up for John Fredia 3-Day Straight!

So, are you ready for SPRING? What are your spring essentials?

Have a lovely weekend :)

Lip Combo of the Week + OOTD(Saturday)

Two blog posts for tonight while watching Super Bowl! :)

The lip combo I'm talking about are MAC Hue(Glaze) and MAC Ample Pink Plushglass.

MAC Hue- has a glaze finish, but really opaque and glossy. I'm not really a fan of glaze finishes, but this one is an exception.

MAC Ample Pink Plushglass- amongst all lipglosses from MAC, I love cremesheens and plushglasses. Ample Pink plushglass can be worn with any lipstick(nudes, reds, peaches, pinks, browns) or you can also use it alone. I would categorize this as nude, but it has a hint of pink and brown in it.
Hand swatch: Ample Pink Plushglass and MAC Hue lipstick

lip swatch: Hue topped with Ample Pink plushglass

Face Combos of the Week + OOTD

so after 4 days of not blogging..

I think I owe you guys a post.

So here it is a face combo of the week post.

I will share with you what products I used and a lil OOTD. :)

Anyways..I recently got two YSL eye product. I finally got my hands on the ever famous mascara(Faux Cils) and brightening concealer (Touche Eclat).

here's the story..

Now, I went to The Bay(This is a department store in Canada) and when I was in the cosmetics floor, there were about 5 YSL sales associates ready to run in to me. I just hate it! I hate how two SA came rushing to me trying to get my attention. So, I have no choice and I feel bad if I ignore them. So, They were trying to sell YSL Touche Eclat in No. 8. I can't remember anyone on YT and on Blogs talking about Touche Eclat in no. 8. So, I asked the SA if I can try it on and she applied it on me. She said that the YSL Touche Eclat in no. 8 is the newest shade and it is limited edition too. This shade is best for ASIAN PEOPLE with yellow undertones.

So, if you have yellow undertones and wants the famous Touche Eclat by YSL. Go to a nearby YSL counter and ask if they have no. 8. I'm not sure, but I heard from a SA that this shade is exclusive ONLY IN VANCOUVER CANADA. Yes! because there are many Asians here in Vancouver. Don't take my word for it tho. Try asking a YSL SA.

So I purchased Touche Eclat and the wonderful, ever so generous YSL sales associate gave me $10 off the Touche Eclat so from $50 to $40 and...HOLD ON..she also gave me a free gift -Faux Cils FULL SIZE mascara! Thank god I went with her. :)

So, yay for having a new concealer and mascara.!!

Enough with the chit and chat and on with what really matters.

For the past couple of weeks, I kept my make-up on the down low. I haven't been applying any eyeshadow on my lids and no lipgloss as well. SHOCKING isn't it. I just hate the feeling of hair sticking on my lipgloss.

For the EYES:

YSL- Faux Cils Mascara

YSL- Touche Eclat Brightening Concealer

MAC- Superslick Liner in On The Hunt

MAC- Graphblack Technakohl

* I forgot to include MAC Shroom eyeshadow and Bare Study Paintpot*and for the FACE:

MAC- Face and Body foundation in C3

Revlon- Colorstay foundation in Sand beige

NARS- Casino BronzerMAC- Stereo Rose MSF on top of Madly

NARS- Madly Blush

* These two blushes are meant to be together. LOVE this cheek combo. I recommend you to try Stereo Rose with Madly! *

My face is totally shinning. I used MAC Shroom eyeshdow. I Think I used too much. YIKES.

and lastly..the LIPS:

MAC- Lady Bug lipstick

and on school days I just apply MAC Myth to mute out the redness of Lady Bug.Here's Lady Bug aloneAnd with Myth- now it's more pink and wearable.the outfit.

This is the first time I showed my outfit on this blog. So, do forgive me if the photos are not that nice.
