Haul + Review! -All makeup items!!

Hello everyone, so sorry for the long absence. I actually am very surprised that I'm still alive because of how much work I have, but I promised myself to do a post no matter sick or death today, haha! Ok, I actually got these items about a month ago and I am going to do another Crystal style haul+review thing. The products are either from softsurrounding.com (all the Paul & Joe ones) or beautyticket.com.

First, the Paul & Joe eye glosses N. I got 01 and 04 the first time, and I just fell in love with these things so I end up getting all five colors, they are so easy to use, the first for colors are great as a base and 05 is a shimmery browm color. All of them are really pretty and very east to use. Although they came in a pretty small quantity, you don't need that much each time anyway. So I give these 5/5. I'd like to use the combination of 04 and 05 together as a 5 minuite school look.



I got two lipsticks. The first one is number 04. This is my new favourite pink lipstick, it is su cute. It's a cool pink color with no shimmer. I love to layer a pink or clear lipgloss on it for more full lips effect. The second one is number 19, which is a candy pink. It looks kins of like a preachy color, but when you apply it on your lips (at least on my lips), it turns into a candy pink color. It's really cute just by itself. I love the P&J lipsticks because the packaging is super cute and it's smooth and non-drying. Definitely 5/5!!






The last thing I got from P&J was a lip gloss. It's the lipgloss N in 08, which is a nude pink color. I like the bruch of this lipstick, the brush is not that soft, which makes the application easier. It contains very fine shimmer, I would use it for a care lip look or layer it on a bright pink lipstick. The texture is pretty nice, but I don't think it's super longlasting. I give it a 4.5/5!



Then I got something from beautytickets.com. I actually really like this site, their products are super well priced, especially the YSL stuff. Although they don't give samples, I will definitely repurchase from them! Here is everything I got!


First the YSL highlighting powder. I absolutely love this palette. It comes in with a small brush (I actually don't use the brush, haha) and a black pocket. The packaging is very sophisticated. I have natural redness on my checks, so I just use the pink highlighting color as blush, it is so natural. If you also have redness on your cheeks, I highly recommend to just use the pink highlighing color instead of a blush. Also, you can use the beige color as a intermediate color to blend out the harsh lines from contouring, it's super effective and gives you a very nice glow. The powder is very fine and natural. I give it a 5.5/5 ^0^!! Big smile for this product！




I also got two lip glosses. 04 a nude color and 05 a candy pink. The glosses does not contain shimmers but I love how natural the shine is. It contains SPF 10, so when applying on your lips, it has a cooling effect. It's also supper long lasting, not as watery as the P&J one. It's not as moisturizing, but definitely non-drying. I give is a 5/5! I use them almost everyday for school.





I also got the stila chocolate set. It has a eye/face quad, a lipsloss, a mascara and a necklace that I will never wear, haha! How I'm gonna use the weird stone? (Please leave a comment below if you have an idea.)
Here is the weird "necklace". Haha, I would rather call it a stone.


The eye/face quad has a champaign color, a golden rown and a dark chocolate color. It's really pretty beside the darkesr color is really really deep, so I would say just to use it as a liner with a angeled brush. The blush is actually kind of disappointing because it is really loose and gets everywhere. However, I absolutely love the midium color of the eye shadows. It is so pretty and it really flatters asian skin tone. It's kind of similar to the Jill Stuart cream shadow (old version) number 10, but not as shimmery. It's really pretty! I would give this quad 4/5.




The lipgloss is the Stila it gloss in grapefruit. It does taste like grapefruit. It's a cute baby pink with very fine shimmer. The shine is great, however, this gloss is super sticky. I guess that's why it's really longlasting. I give it a 4/5! I still kind of like it because I love the color, the shine and the fruity taste, haha! I love grapefruit!!



Lastly, I got the stila major lash mascara. I actually really like the mascara, it does a good job separating and lengthening my lashes. However, it smuges a little on me, but all the mascaras I have tried smuges on me, so I can't blame it, haha. It does not contain fiber, also does not really add to the volume of my lashes, but I layer it on the MM lash expander frame plus, and this combination gives me very natural long lashes. 3.5/5 for this one! I counted another half point off because the packaging looks really cheap, I definitely think they can do better on that.



That is the end of this post! (Back to more work!) I will do more of these haul+review things next week after I come back from my California Model United Nations trip. Please let me know if you like this format. I know some people like the haul to be separated from reviews, but I really want to get feedbacks from you all! Good luck to me and to you. Stay pretty and stay tuned!
Love U all~~

Happy V-Day +Review for Beautymaker!

Hello everyone! Happy Valentine's day! I hope you all are having a great time right now. I currently don't have a boyfriend, so if you're one like me, don't worry cause the right person for you may be just around the corner!
Today I'm gonna review on the beautymaker products I have been trying and I hope it will help you ladies become more and more pretty. I got all my products from imomoko.com! OK, let's get started！

First I am going to talk about the Beautymaker Aquamarine softening toner. It is a clear toner/mist. It came in with 120ml, a pretty good size. I have been loving this toner, becuase it is so light and east to be absorbed into your skin. Since it's a mist, it is not only good for toning but also great for touch up. You can just spray some on you face, take a sponge with powder foundation and dab it in. Very east to use and great quality. I give it a 5/5!


The next thing is the Aquamarine hydrating lotiion. This lotion is also super light, but very moisturizing. It is great for oily skin. I have pretty dry skin, so I have to use another hydrating product over it. The only thing I don't like about this lotion is the size. It only come in with 50ml, which can be used up really soon. But the quality is definitely great! I give it a 4.5/5!


Next is the eye serum. It is also something I love love love! It is a clear gel and it came in with 15ml, a typical ryr cream size. It is super moisturizing and it really helps with dark circles. I give it a definitely thumbs up, 5/5!!


This is the Skin repair wakening gel, came with 50g. I love this gel, it contains natual rose water, which gives it a nice rosy scent. I use it before sleep as the last step of night time skin care, after I wake up, my skin feels super soft and nice. I will definitely repurchase this and of course I give it 5/5!


Now, onto some makeup products, also from beautymaker.
First, the magic compact duo. I have hit the pan of this product, I really really like it. The highlight color doesn't have very shiney shimmer, which gives you a really subtle look, the contout color is not really dark. I wouldn't suggest to people who have darker skin. It is about just right for me, but if I want a more definite countour, I will use my maquillage 3D face creater instead. I will review that soon! But this compact gives you such a natural glow. It is really good for work or school. I give it a 5/5!


The next product is the Aqua smooth lip color. I have not been using this very much because I love my paul&Joe ones. (I will also review that soon!) Anyway, I got the shade peach, it is a really cute color. When you just apply it on your lips, it feels pretty nice, however, the pigmentation is not very good, at least it doesn't show up that well on my lips. Also, it doen't last very long, kind of drying (I have really dry lips). I guess that's why I haven't been using it much. I will give it a 2.5/5.


The last thing I want to review today is the love pupu cheek. I got the pink one, they also have orange shade. The color seems pretty bright, but when you apply it on your face, it is actually very cute and fresh. It doesn't contain shimmer, so it leaves you with a nice glow and subtle look. I recomment it for students or younger people. For people with darker skin tone, I think the orange one will suit you better. The packaging is also really cute and pretty. I will give it a 4.5/5! I took 0.5 off is because it came with the cottem pad. I think it will be easier to apply it it comes with a brush, but I guess you can't fit a brush in such a small package.


These are everything I have been trying from beautymaker so far, I am planning on trying more because I'm kind of impressed with this brand. Most of their products, especially the skincare line are pretty good. I will let you guys know when I get more stuff from them. Again, I am not a SA of beautymaker, so I'm not trying to advertise anything, everything is out of my personal opinion!
Happy V-Day again and see you again soon!
Love U all~

Happy Chinese New Year!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the late happy chinese new year. I was emceeing for the Chinese New Year Festival at my university so I just got it done. But I really want to say happy new year too you all! Hope you have a great year of tiger and become prettier and prettier.
It is also Valentines day tomorrow! So have loooots of FUN! I am current on Mardi Gras break, which is a really unique festival in New Orleans, especially after the Saints won the Super Bowl. Who Dat!!So I will probably be busy with going to lots of parades and parties, but I will definitely do some posts also! So stay tuned!
Anyway, Happy New Year again and I made it before 12 o'clock midnight! Yeah!

FOTD- Sophisticated Valintine's Day Look

Hello, everyone, lonf time no see! Guess why, haha, no wonder, school work!!! I was sooo busy this week and I'm gonna be even more busy next week. I guess it's not a good idea to take 21.5 credits in one semester, haha! But anyway, although I'm exausted, I still love you all and made myself to do this post. I hope it will inspire you to do your Valentines day look. I will try my very best to do another Valentine's day look before Valentines day, but I really can't garentee that.
So let's get started, I am using the Lunasol Noble shade eyes in 03 Red Variation. Hope you like the look!

Again, we always start with the base. I'm using the MUFE HD primer in 02 mauve and I'm using a sample of Lunasol Modeling Water Liquid Foundation in shade Y002. I wouldn't say it's an amazing foundation. The coverage is great, but the texture is kind of dry. I would prefer the Legere BB cream over this. But I guess you can't really compare a BB cream to a foundation. I don't really use foundation right now since I really like the Legere BB cream, but I'll let you guys know if I find a good one later! I set it with the Revlon Beyong natual powder foundation. This product has great quality, I have talked about it before, but this is actually a really good powder foundation, especially from Revlon, which is a drugstore brand.




Next I primed my eyes with the Bare Escentual primetime. Here is the palette I'm using, it's really pretty and sophisticated. I am also using a eye shadow I got from Victoria Secret call gold rush. I haven't show you guys the haul. Actually I have a lot of hauls that I haven't show you all. I guess I will do the haul+review thing again later. But this is a really pretty gold color and it's relly shiny and pigmented. I love it a lot!



I first applied the gold rush color as a base all over the top lid. Then I used the light brown color from the Lunasol palette and apply it up to 2/3 of the lid and blend it out nicely.




Next, I took the rose color and apply it only to the middle of the lid and blend it to the side just a little bit, but focus mainly in the middle of the lid. You can layer it on if you want more color, I didn't want this look to be intense, so I didn't use a lot. I only applied one layer.



Then I tight lined with the revelon color stay eyeliner. You can line the upper lash line as well if you needed. But again, I want it to be a natual look, so I only tight lined it. Then I applied the deep plumish brown color right along the lash lind and blend it out only a little bit, not pass the crease.




Then I applied the shimmery pinkish pearl color right along the brow bone and finished it with two coats of mascara. I used the MM Lash expander fram plus first and applied the stila major lash mascara on top. I actually really like the stila one so far since it's really lethening and it separates the lashes.




Now I'm finished with the eyes!


Moving on to the face. I defined my eyebrow using Icon eyebrow pencil and contour my face using Beautymaker majic compact duo, my favourite contour palette. Remember, you always contour BEFORE you put on blush.



Then, I used the YSL highlighting palette as a blush. Sorry I haven't show you guys this haul yet. I promise I will do it later. Bear with me, college student taking 21.5 credits is not fun! But I used the light rosey pink color. It has really fine shimmer, making the blush really natual. I appled it right by my apples and blend it out, not slanted.


Last, I used the Paul & Joe lipstick in 04, a cute candy pink color and toped it with the Stila it gloss in Grapefruit. It taste really good, like grapefruit, haha!


Now, finished with this sophisticated Valentine's Day look. A tiny smoky effect makes you look really elegant. If you don't really like the brown tone color, don't worry, I will try do do another one with more cute pink and puple color. I still haven't decided what colors to use yet. If you guys have suggestions, please leave me a comment below or in the cbox. Here are some of my "vain" pictures. Haha! Thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend!
