Quick Shopping Trip!

Urban Outfitters Structured Crossbody (on sale for $9.99)

Skinfood Nail Vita #RE-106 $3

Lush Big Solid Conditioner $9.25

Picked up a few things recently! I've been looking for a new bag that's smaller, but not tiny and found one at Urban Outfitters in the sale section! I also picked up Lush's Big Solid Conditioner because I love the scent of the shampoo so much! I haven't used it yet because I don't have a container for it! I should have bought the one they have there T_T

Skinfood Nail Vita #RE-106

(Sorry for my crappy nail polish applying skills!)

Lastly I picked up a Skinfood Nail Vita in #RE-106. I saw it before, but didn't get it because I was thinking of waiting till my stampcard was full to get a free one. I went ahead and got it though because I've been wanting that color of nail polish.

I absolutely love the color! It's a deep, almost black purple, that kind of looks brown-ish in some lights. I got my nails done a few weeks ago with a similar color from opi, but I didn't get the name of it so I've been looking for one just like it! It is streaky so I had to apply 3 coats to get it opaque. Also, it's been the second day and it's already chipping! I don't know if it's the actual nail polish or a new top coat I used. I bought Won't Chip from Orly today, so I'll see how it goes.

Some goodies from over the weekend:

Got the L'oreal Revitalift Eye Cream from Target, on sale for $12.50. Gotta go check if it's still on sale so I can stock up :p! I don't really need an eye cream right now, but I wanted to try this out because it has good reviews and my dark eye circles need some help. I won't see if it works until a couple of weeks, but I like it already. It smells great and feels luxurious (maybe it's because it's my first eye cream -__-). I don't really moisturize my eye area and this is a great moisturizer. The skin around my eyes looks moisturized and more plump.

This week, RiteAid is selling Nivea Lip Care for only a $1! When I saw it in the newspaper, I thought there was a catch, but nope! I wanted to get a bunch to stock up on, but only took 3 so that I could leave 1 left.

And finally did my nails!

end of the week please

Lately, the boypren and I have been making food, and yesterday we made some sushi.



On the way home from the grocery, I wanted to pass by and get a Hello Kitty cell phone charm from those quarter machines, but got a Mario one last minute and got the one the boypren wanted. It was meant to be.

Went to the Silicon Valley Heart Walk today to participate and do my video project that's due on Tuesay (ugh). Passed by Mitsuwa after, ogled at the makeup, and got noms (the Pineapple Gokuri is delicious!). Passed by Kinokuniya as well and got a Nylon that was 50% off and had a bag with it. I love it when they're 50% off! (>_<)! But I was disappointed with the magazine, because I'm so used to the thick, pictured filled VIVI.



At first I thought this nail polish from Urban Outfitters was disgusting, but now I'm liking it because its slightly peachy tone matches better with my skin tone : ].

The only thing I'm looking forward to other than the end of this exam-filled, project deadlines filled week are the items I ordered from Zipia through my neighbor's group order. Hooray!




Especially excited for the shoes since they have a similar pair at Urban Outfitters that's more expensive. EEEEEEEE!

sweating like a pig

what's been going on in the month of june (thank goodness it's pretty much over!):
got these goody spin pins. all i've been wearing lately is a bun because my hair is at that awkward length between short and long. these work great and look better than a jaw clip!
finally got a bike! i've been wanting a cruiser for a while, but every time a good one pops up on craigslist, it gets sold. got this baby for $40, but i need to get it fixed. can't wait!!!
omnomnomnom yummy beef steak and egg sandwich from new bambu. i ate one today and wanted another earlier T_T
top: american eagle outfitters, shorts: forever 21
i dunno, but it feels weird when older people complement what i wear. like these shorts. hmm.
currently wearing NYC's French White Tip and American Apparel's Summer Peach.

hey....wtf

top: american eagle, tap shorts: american apparel
finally, a perfect and simple pair of high waisted shorts! i feel so american apparel in this picture lol. wanting to get these shorts in tan and blue as well and saw that they increased the price by $2. it's not much, but it's like hey....wtf.
lol i accidentally grabbed the tester at american apparel. this is one of their new lacquers in summer peach. can't wait to try it out.
top: forever21, shorts: h&m
wore this to my friend's 21st birthday. really into stripes, cropped tops, and high waisted shorts right now, as typical as it is. i'm glad that it's trendy and available right now.
here's my good friend kha and his boypren eric. eric definitely made the fun night with so many that's-what-she-said's.

go to

yay so glad the pain/suckiness of getting wisdom teeth taken out is over! i will miss the pros of my week hibernation: staying indoors away from the sun and not eating anything because of the nausea from the pain pills.
cardigan, jeggings, & flats: urbanoutfitters, tank: forever21
my go-to outfit! i'm sad i can't wear these jeggings anymore, it's too hot!
dress: thrifted, romper (underneath) & flats: urbanoutfitters
i think this is my go to pose. lol.
rompers are great slips! they give coverage and no flashing underwear! the only thing is taking it off to go to the bathroom!
sorry about my bleh feet! the colors i'm wearing right now: China Glaze's Peachy Keen and OPI's What's With The Cattitude? they're so summer! the China Glaze one dries darker than the bottle which is a bummer because i like light pastel colors. every time i look at my toes, i think of Shrek. lol.

more makeup

on a makeup rush...the boypren is not going to like this : [
got mac's nuance after seeing a very pretty picture of it online. it's a pretty peachy-pink. also got a free gift because the seller shipped it out after a few days. so considerate! i would never have thought of purple lip gloss, but i actually like it!
wearing the blush and both lip glosses!
cardigan & sneakers: urbanoutfitters, top: thrifted, jeans: forever21
also got another pair of my favorite sneakers in the whole wide world (>_<)! my old ones had a hole and the water was soaking through it
checked out Beauty 360 at my nearest CVS and i'm in love! it's like a Sephora with a lot of unknown beauty brands and excellent customer service! i never get greeted or helped at all at Sephora. got an angled blush brush for contouring and this Jack Black lip balm. it smells like lemon starbursts and has spf 25 : ] my rosebud salve hasn't been cutting it.
finally bought mac's peachstock on a whim after wanting it for awhile but convincing myself not to get it. i'm glad i got it because it's great and the packaging is so cute : ]. it is similar to the wet n wild lipstick i posted before, but it's more pink and applies waaaayyy better.
and here's how OPI's Coney Island Cotton Candy looks like with 4 coats. not as nude as i hope it would be, but it's still nice : ]

gee, i'm on a roll here

blogging on my new laptop, thus the influx of posts. yay for having own computer and not having to use the family desktop! : ]went nail polish shopping yesterday and i'm very very happy because of it. my friend told me that there was this place that sold super cheap nail polishes, so i had to check it out. i couldn't believe it was true: $4 for OPIs, $2.75 for China Glazes, and $3 for Essies OMG! they're normally $6-8 each so it was such a good deal! now i need a nail polish rack for my growing collection : ]
OPI's Panda-Monium Pink, What's With the Cattitude? (from the Shrek Forever After collection :]), and Coney Island Cotton Candy
Essie's Fed Up, Tart Deco, and Mint Candy Apple
China Glaze's Peachy Keen from the Up & Away Collection
China Glaze's Re-Fresh Mint might look similar to Essie's Mint Candy Apple, but the Essie one has a bluer hue.

vintage expo

went to the vintage expo in San Francisco last sunday and it was fun, except i lost my favorite black cardigan/sweater. so sad T_T
should i??cone boobs lolclose ups and a top that i got:
loving matte orange nail polish from Urban Outfitters
we ate at a french restaurant called Absinthe. the croque monsieur was delicious, but i felt uncomfortable the whole time because here we were, asian looking kids, while the rest were caucasian mid-20s and upwards. it's weird to say that i'm not used to being the minority.went to the mall afterwards and got 5 for $15 undies from American Eagle lol. also went to l'occitane and got a different kind of rose hand cream, but this one is more old lady smelling T_T it's okay though because i ordered another rosebud hand cream on ebay.passed by target today to get a 1 1/4 curling iron (which i loove) and saw that they had elf cosmetics! yay! now i don't have to order online anymore! stocked up on clear mascara for my brows and bought another eyelash curler that has a closed handle which i love as well!i want to try this volumizer because my hair is so helplessly flat, but i don't think it'll help since my hair is long and heavy. also got this covergirl mascara. i was so sad that they discontinued my favorite mascara from them, the green waterproof one with the curved brush. gotta try this one out to see if it's still the same!
