Stila TM

After using the LM TM for a couple weeks, I couldn't stand it anymore. As much as I like the dewy-ness I get from it, my face got soooooo oily after a couple hours!! I didn't even want to try the oil free one because according to some people on MUA, it's still oily for them.
I went to Sephora to try something else and the SA gave me a Stila Oil Free TM sample. I was convinced that this was the one for me after using it 2 times so I returned the LM.

The one I purchased is Dark Medium 03, which seems kinda silly because I never considered myself in the dark shades, but yet it doesn't look dark at all. This is supposed to have SPF30, but the packaging doesn't say so. I asked Sephora why and they said it's because Canada has different labelling restrictions or something, but it still has SPF30. Weird.
The TM is quite thick and not as easy to blend as LM. I use this with the Paul & Joe Moisturizing Foundation Primer 03 and it makes blending a lot easier. Something about the P&J added more blendability to the TM.
Coverage wise, I think it's pretty similar to LM. It's light-medium without covering all the imperfections. Oil control gets a pass. I don't get as greasy as LM but I still blot once, although if I didn't blot it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Oh, I'm also using the Maquillage Powder Touch Eyebrow (GY950), though you don't really notice a big difference. I use a light hand just incase I look crazy with dark brows XD I also just follow the natural shape of my brows. I don't really shape them either because I don't have a lot of brow hairs to begin with.

Kraze Day

I can't think of a better title and it wasn't really that kraze..you'll see why I named it that later..hehe.
This week I had Monday and Tuesday off for the Lunar New Year, but unfortunately, Wednesday to Friday I still have to be at school even though there are no classes. I get to leave at noon so it's a little bit more bearable.
On Wednesday I went to school as usual and I was the only one there. Just before I left for the day a package came, yay! I love getting packages, even if I ordered something for myself. Today's package was the swap I did with Mona, whoohoo! I finally have the MUFE Aqua Eyes in my hands! I can't wait to test it out. I also have the Sephora lasting e/l, Stila Convertible Color in Gerbera, some Lush items and candy. Mona was also nice enough to include a Shu eyeshadow, I loves it all and her! Thankq =)
Funny thing is, we both forgot to add something in the the packages, so I had to send a separate package to her and vice versa XD

On Wednesday after school, I went to get my new digi cam, the Panasonic Lumix FX38 because it was waaay cheaper than Hong Kong and the store was going to throw in some freebies. I was originally going to get the FX36 which cost about $350 at Costco, but the camera store had the FX38 for about $300, so how could I pass it up?
Anyway long story short, I didn't buy it myself, Tim bought it instead for my early birthday present. I had to argue with him a bit because I didn't want him to spend so much of his trip money on my present, but he ended up getting it anyway XD I also got a new strap for it.

I went to Myeong Dong, again, to eat lunch at a burger place called Kraze Burger. I showed a picture of the burger once, but these are taken with my new camera. It's got a fast food feel because you line up to order, however, they prepare everything to make it all nice and pretty for you to sit in their restaurant. Not too bad, but I still like Hero Burger more.
This is the view from my seat. We sat on the sofa chairs by the wall and we look at everyone else in the restaurant.


We both ordered the Matiz burger, but mine had no pickles and extra cheese. Just a regular burger with sauteed onions, bbq sauce and bacon. One thing I love about Kraze Burger are their buns, all buttery and toasted up, yum!

Chilli cheese fries! I love the pictures that my camera takes.


I had to stop at Krispy Kreme, even though I was stuffed from the burger. They had about 3 LE donuts for winter. We had the Apple Bear (similar to an apple fritter) and Snowman which had blueberry jelly. Taste wise...let's just say the Krispy Kreme original is still my favourite.
