Beach Bum

Today would have been a brilliant day for doing an FOTD, but the rain decided to pour when I got home! The rain isn't like anything I've experienced in Toronto, here it's like a constant shower!! If it's windy, there's no escaping the horizontal rain.
I wanted to do a look for the beach or anywhere that just calls for minimum makeup usage, but this darned gloomyness just ruins the front shots, so I just did a side one. *le sigh*

Simple makeup. I used the P&J Moisturizing Primer first then the Protective Primer UV and concealed with Beauty Maker Aqua Eyes (yes I finally have a BM item!). Topped it off with Coffret D'or pressed powder, the blush from the Lunasol Set, Coffret D'or FS eyes 03 (gold), Fiberwig mascara and P&J lipgloss 04.
I didn't want to line my eyes. If I go to the beach, the last thing I'd want to worry about is my eyeliner smudging or fading.

About a month back, I helped one of my readers, Sarah, do kinda like a CP. I did a small one for her a few months ago, but she asked me to help her with another one. I'm not gonna go into detail with it, but it was a big package hehe.
Sarah was nice enough to send me a little gift because of the CP. She sent me the Beauty Maker Aqua Eyes Concealer in the darker of the 2 shades (I think 02?). Thankq Sarah!!! I was so excited to get it in the mail because I totally forgot I had a package coming!
I've only used it once so far and it feels uber creamy and smooth.

Ah the last day of school. Some students seemed surprised that it was my last day. Technically it's not my last day since I'll be back for a week in August to do the sumer school program.
Like how I blend in?
I got some letters from a few students! They were such sweeties. I forgot to take individual pictures with them..doohh!

And..OMG...I think I ate a slug infested lettuce leaf today at dinner. I was eating galbi and wrapping it with lettuce. I grabbed a smaller piece of galbi so I ripped the lettuce in half and ate the top part. As I was waiting for more meat to cook, I looked at my remaining lettuce and saw this small gray thing. I looked carefully and saw it moving!!!! IT WAS A FREAKING SLUGGG!!!!!!! *GAG, PUKE BARF*!!!!! Lucky I didn't eat it.. I was a bit too shocked that I didn't take a picture of it. I gave it back to the waitress..and I wasn't able to bitch about it because I didn't speak Korean!!!
The moral of the story? Check your lettuces before you eat it!!!!!!!!!!! And don't go somewhere that seems sketchy..haha

Annie Dong said...

OMG I think I just pewked a little... *SHIVERS* Slugs and anything that squirm are honestly the worst creatures!!! *loses appetite*

Yea everyone and their mother now has Esprique palettes due to Fuz's influence! Haha~ It's a good buy for me since I don't have a lot of makeup (YET), and the price isn't bad relative to other brands. :D

I know what you mean about slugs!! We grow our own lettuce in pots, and Jamal wanted a salad for lunch today--and it was pouring rain. Guess what that means?!?!

I had to comb each lettuce leaf one by one to make sure they were free of slugs and snails...you poor thing!!

I hope you like the Kevin Aqua Eye concealer...it's my HG!

acutelife said...

oh no the slug!!!i would scream my head off if I were you (and puke at the same time too) >.< lolz
you're leaving korea soon, enjoy as much as korean food while you can (or maybe you're sick of it already?) hehehe

eri said...

Slugs?!? Oh my goodness! That is a very traumatizing experience!!! At least it was just the top part and not the bottom?!

That's so sweet that your students wrote u letters!

Becky said...

Eeewww, slug lettuce. You look cute in the peace-sign photo haha The BM concealer is getting really popular around here, I wanna try it. Thanks for showing us a nice & simple look for the summer. I think I would opt for no-liner too. It gets awfully humid in this 97F (36C) heat!

Oh, what a pity the rain thwarted your plans! :/

Nevertheless, thanks for the side shot. You look cute! ;)
