Vivi December
I don't know what's up with my blog, but some of my pictures can't seem to be clicked on to enlarge. I might have to go back to using the generic blogger layouts soon. *sigh*
Vivi December is out already! My friend got this in HK a few days ago before she flew back. I also have the November issue but haven't taken pictures of it. Vivi seems to be less and less makeup-y these days, but I can't complain.
This issue has a little booklet called Christmas Coffret Super Catalog. I've already ordered from one of the holiday collections for my Christmas present. It better get here by the end of the week, I'm sooo impatient!
There's yet another collaboration of Vivi and Visee. There are 2 palettes (mauve and beige brown) and a mascara. The mauve one reminds me a lot of the Bobbi Brown mauve collection, except I'm sure the Visee is a lot prettier.
I finally got my first brow product! This is Maquillage's newst one called Powder Touch Eyebrow in GY950. I can't really compare this with anything I've used, but this pencil is supposed to be powder. It's also thicker than the average pencils.
It glides on with a powdery feel and finish so it looks super natural. For a first time brow product user, this is pretty idiot proof as the color is very buildable and it's easy to correct mistakes.
The color is darker than what it looks like on the pencil, but I haven't taken a good swatch or before/after pictures yet.
I got this on Adam Beauty for about $12. What a great deal! Plus it'll probably last forever.

Still Alive
No, I'm not abandoning Blogger XD I just find that I use the computer less and less now that I have my laptop. Please excuse my lack of commenting and catching up!
Tim's dad came back from Hong Kong, which means he helped me bring back the stuff I purchased. I stocked up on Beauty Diary masks, I can't remember the price, but it's more expensive than here for sure. I haven't had a chance to use any of these yet haha, except the apple one. It stings the area under my nose so I have to rip that part of the fabric off. Haven't really noticed any significant differences from using them though.
So, Tim's dad came back from Hong Kong to attend a wedding in Punta Cana 2 weeks ago, Tim's older brother. I was undecided on going due to some issues, but decided 2 days before that I should go and rushed to Urban Outfitters to get some new dresses. Lucky me, they were half price.
99% of the pictures are on Tim's computer, but here's a couple pics, one with the dress. I have plenty more I wanna post up when I get them from him XD
My stuff from Hong Kong included my new toys. If you didn't know already, I collect mini food, the ones mainly made by Re-Ment. My precious mini house made it in one piece ^__^
The new stuff also includes a sushi set, Mini Sweets and Fun Meals.
I ordered a Maquillage brow pencil from Adambeauty, it was only like $12! I hope it's not super tiny and that I'll know how to use it!
Oh, I also got my hair cut today and I promised my stylist to mention the salon here hehehe. It's called Initium Hair (located on Hwy 7 and Warden next to HSBC). I've been there many times before and the stylist I go to is Wilson Lee. He's been the most consistent stylist I've been to so I highly recommend him! I pay $32 excluding tips.

Laura Mercier TM
Wow, my picture quality looks butchered on Blogger, more than before..hmm...
I've been using the Lunasol Modeling Water Liquid Foundation and Control Makeup Base since mid-May and I'm down to 1/3 of the bottles...and I was itching to try a new base makeup that gives light coverage. After much thought, I purchased my first tinted moisturizer, which also happens to be my first item from Laura Mercier.
Today's makeup is light and simple. I started off with the P&J Moisturizing Foundation Primer 03. I've had this for a couple months already and haven't started using it until now. It doesn't have SPF which is a bummer, but the LM makes up for the missing SPF. The P&J primer is a white runny base which goes on clear and doesn't feel sticky.
Then I used my fingers to apply the TM. I'm glad it's runny enough to spread evenly with my fingers and it gives my skin a nice dewy look. This is the first time I've used a TM so I can't compare it with anything else.
I think I love and hate this product at the same time. I love that it gives my skin light coverage but I hate how I get oily faster than using the Lunasol foundation (even with powder).
I debated on getting the oil free version, but some reviews on MUA said it's not as easy to blend and the color seemed to oxidize, so I stuck with the regular formula.
Look, dewy! I generally don't apply a lot of blush which is why you don't really notice the JS blush.
