Magazine Goodies

I got bored so I took a few pictures from the December issue of Seventeen magazine (from Japan). The mix and match pictures are like Fuzkittie's Mix and Match Challenge. I wish I had the magazine before I entered the contest, all these looks were so cute and great ideas! So cute for winter but maybe not warm enough for me. I'm still in search of the perfect winter clothes. I can't over indulge on clothes if I want more makeup hehe.

My favourite is the dark blue/black sweater with the red and white patterns, it's just so wintery.

I'm starting to think whether I want bangs again. But I have these thick black framed Prada glasses and it looks funny when I wear them with bangs haha, and I don't think I want to wear contact lenses everyday. Actually, now that I'm thinking about black framed glasses and bangs, about 90% of Korean girls have that kinda thing going on.
I think bangs are hard to maintain, especially for me because I have an oily t-zone which makes my bangs look funny after some time. I don't like the growing out process, it makes me look funny. But I am indecisive so the decision on whether to cut my bangs will be lingering for a while.



I don't think I had my bangs cut properly the last time I did it, which was back in Hong Kong. The lady kind of rushed it and it was uneven. I wish I was back in Toronto with my regular hair dresser and then fly back to Seoul XD
I have a preview of my newest makeup addition. I recently purchased Skinfood's newest eyeshadow palette (Sugar Bloom Shadow Box) and it looks faaabulous. I'll show you swatches and more pictures later this week when I test it out. There are a few magazine pictures that I took from Seventeen and Vivi. The tutorials in the magazines use similar colours to the Sugar Bloon Shadow Box. I promise it'll be good and up later this week.


Speaking of Skinfood, I tried out a new sheet mask, the Seaweed sheet mask. My skin doesn't feel any different aside from the fact that it smells a bit funny hahaha.
I also got some samples of the new Gold Caviar Lifting Eye Serum, toner and lotion. The toner has little gold flakes in it. I personally don't feel like it does anything. It has a strange perfume scent to the lotion and toner. So far my skin has responded nicely to it. It feel so smooth! I'd say smoother and slightly less sticky than the usual Laneige emulsion that I use. I'm sure it's also cheaper. Whooohooo! I don't think I'll have enough of the Lifting Eye Serum to see/feel a difference. Maybe I should just go buy that whole line to try it out =p I'm starting to feel a Skinfood craving!

Anyone looking forward to Majolica Majorca's winter collection? It doesn't look too exciting to me. The Majolook palettes look like the older ones they had, with the rectangular highlighter shade on top and 3 shades on the bottom. It's kinda blah and they're just brown palettes anyway. (There's 2 new palettes)

To you: I'm making too many excuses in my mind, how I thought I still meant something to you....why do I even bother...is it even worth my time..? You're too busy to notice anyway...in a way, I'm glad I'm not there.

sorry for getting back to you so late...if you have any questions pertain to anything please email me! or if you have AIM contact me there...but do i think sex is taboo...i mean it really depends there is a time and place for everything...living in America were much more crude and blunt and sex sells pretty much everything...i have a drag queen for a cousin so my outlook on gays is like 2nd nature...

I have noticed that korean boys or men...they are very touchy feely with each other...why is that???

Yay bangs!! Isn't it dry in Korea? If it's dry maybe your bangs won't get so greasy ... mine grow out way too fast! I have to keep trimming them!! Now they're swept to the side cuz they're too long again.

Love the mix and match stuff, hehehee. I really want to try the mascara, in black though.
