Finished!
Guess what? My blog has reached 300 followers *big grin* Thankq to all who are reading my blog! I wouldn't have imagine that anyone would be interested hehe. I started my blog last August, so it's almost blog birthday time! I'm deciding whether I should do another giveaway, we'll see =D
Lookie here, I've finished my jar of P&J Moisture Cream. Lucky for me I had a backup jar that Tim's dad helped me get. I've been using it since March only for night time and this little 1.1oz jar has lasted me about 5 months. Money well spent I tell you. I also finished my 2nd bottle of the Orbis Cleansing Liquid. I'm currently using a Hanskin cleansing oil, will do a review a bit later.
I went bowling on Friday again. Very cheap compared to Toronto. I played 2 games with a few friends for only 8000won/person (less than $8CAD), including shoes.
I'm trying to do a silly face while Tim is trying to look normal puhaha.
A friend of ours went to have Mexican food near Sinchon Station and said it was good, so we had to try it out. I think it's more Tex-Mex than actual Mexican.
Tim and I went there for dinner tonight and we're stuffed!! If you go to Sinchon Station, take exit 4. You'll see McD and Burger King to your left. Continue straight for about a minute and you'll see On The Border on the second floor to your left.
Our friend said the restaurant served American sized portions. I was so excited to see the variety on the menu that we ordered 2 entrees plus and appetizer, bad idea. The portions were indeed American sized.
I ordered chicken enchilladas that came with a side of rice and refried beans. It was SOOOO goood!! The chicken was tender and everything was so flavourful and fresh. I only ate 1.5 out of the 3 enchilladas, it'll be dinner for tomorrow.
Tim had the Montery Jack cheese and bacon chicken fajitas.
Our appetizer was the chicken flaunta. They are corn tortillas stuffed with ground chicken, rolled up and fried to a golden brown. Served with queso dipping sauce. Not too sure what the sauce was made of.
We should have ordered the guacamole. The guacamole that came with Tim's fajitas were the best I've had so far. If we ordered it, the waiter would have prepared it fresh right in front of us. Too bad..next time it's a must!
It came up to about 57,000won with tax and tip included.

Octopus Soup
Makeup hasn't really been on my mind lately which is why I haven't been posting as often. I'm not too creative and I can't seem to come up with something different =p
Yesterday, I had dinner with the principal and a few teachers as a "farewell", it was interesting. Seeing some of my teachers drink and getting a bit too comfortable with each other.
I got there a little late. As soon as I sat down, Korean style, I saw a pot of hot soup and a lady come to the table, yak a few words and came back with a bowl and a plate of vegies on top.
I knew we were having some sort of seafood and I'm cool with that. When the soup started to boil, the lady came back and took the dish off the bowl. Inside, there were like 3 octopus with heads about the size of my palm. The lady then proceeded to dump the octopus into the boiling pot and to my surprise, the octopus were still alive! They were grabbing and squirming around in the bowl and pot!! Omg!!!
I like octopus, but seeing it get cooked like that ruined my appetite. I didn't eat a lot of it, although surprisingly, the octopus tentacles were very tender after it was cooked.
The lady came back a little later and started to cut the octopus head, guts, brains and all, into a few pieces and the teachers started to chow down on it...that my friends...was disgusting...
Here's the video, I sound so surprised haha. I'm kinda glad they cooked it rather than eat it alive. I wanted to try live octopus, but now, not so much.
Yum yum anyone?What's the strangest thing you've ever tried?
Going out soon, catching up later =D

Purple Eyes!!
My attempt at doing a different purple eye is 99% success!! =D=D=D haha. The 1% is not getting it pigmented enough. I used Michelle Phan's Purple Hazy Look on YT as a guide to what to do. Love her videos.
The white palette is from Yumeko and the one on the right is the Lunasol purple gradation palette. I originally wanted to do the whole look using the white palette, but I found the colors not pigmented enough so I went over them with the Lunasol palette. I also used the top left shade from Lunasol but forgot to mark it.
Simple look, very little to fuss over. I thought the falsies were what gave that finished "glamour" look for this EOTD.
There was a lack of lighting in my box, but I did my best. This was my first attempt to line the lower lashline and take a picture of it. I often think I look odd with the lower lashline done, so I leave it. I think when I don't line the lower lashline, it's a more natural way to do my makeup, because of course I don't wanna look toooo different without makeup.
I tried to do sort of a feathered wing, I think it came out ok. Just make sure you smudge it with a sponge tip applicator and add enough shadow to make it apparent.

The colors are a lot more vibrant in person. I have a bit of trouble putting on the half falsies, I can't seem to get one end of it to stick well.
Omg..look at my eyebrows HAHA! I still haven't attempted to shape them myself, except pluck the strays, and I'm feeling too chicken shit to use a brow pencil. My skin gets quite oily and I don't want a fading eyebrow. I was going to get the Laneige brow set, but decided against it, because I know once I do my brows, I'm gonna have to do them often so I don't look sickly when I go out.
Baskin Robbins has a super cute summer theme! They have blue cups with polar bears on them. There are also some new ice cream cakes. I just remember the lion one being new, can't remember the rest.
I'm making my list of "To Buy" for Hong Kong and it doesn't look too big. The main things I want to get are the P&J Whitening Serum, Muji brushes (super soft!!!), JS Jelly Eyes and some Beauty Maker if I can find it. I'm thinking of buying less HE brands this time.
Something non makeup related would be some more Re-ment and a designer handbag, which I don't have. I really want an Agnes B handbag, but couldn't find one I like the last time I was in HK.
I'm in a bit of a pickle. I don't know if I should keep my P&J foundation. I seem to scratch my face a lot more when I'm using it and it comes off a lot easier than the Lunasol foundation....but, I barely even used the P&J. ARrrghhh.... what to do.. Maybe I should see it how it fares through winter...
