Snowyyyyy

Everything was covered white when I woke up this morning. Snow!!! I've never seen that much snow before. (Really, we never had snow in Vietnam, and I've only been in U.S for 1 year. Last year it wasn't as snowy as this year.)I could not even get out of the house to go to work because of the snow >.< so I stayed at home till night and my bf came to pick me up for some late shopping. Luckily Marshall and Ross opened late for holiday shopping convenience, so we went there to look for some affordable Xmas gifts. And of course, we got some very good deals. But I'm not gonna tell you what I got now, cuz I know some my friends are reading this blog. Hah. I will unfold this secret after Xmas. I just got one thing for myself, and i thought it look so cuteee! Wanna see it? Here it is:


Heart tweezer, $3.99 Marshal

LOL

So, here is a quick photo of the make up that i wear today. I tried to draw a thick eye brow, since Michelle Pham (a famous Youtube guru) said that "fuller eye brows make you look younger." I'm only 20 but I felt I'm like mommy. anyway, is that too thick?? I kind of like this kind of eyebrow on me.



And another order on ebay arrived today. This is also a pair of earrings that I got for 99cent. Look how cute they are. Can't wait to wear them tomorrow.




Here is what I wore in the pic above: E-spirit Sweater, $9, Rafaella Petite Jacket $5 Marshall.

I forgot to take the picture of the whole body, but for those who wonder, on the bottom I was wearing Evisu goes Hollywood Jeans, $7 ( i know what you're thinking, lol)from a store in Pennsylvania, D-Square black boots $10

Random outfit

H&M Top, $5. Jeans: "Brandname" by DenimBar, $60. Belt: Michael Kors, $20 TJMaxx Shoes: Michael kors, Nordstrom Rack $30

Another haul =)

Hi hi!!
It was snowing really bad outside I couldnt go out So I decided to share with you guys some cool stuff i got recently.

These are some new OPI nail polishes that I got from Ulta yesterday. They were having the special sale buy 2 get 1 free so of course I didn't miss the deal..

From the left: Do You Lilac It?, Tickle My France, and Espresso Your Style!

Aren't they adorable? I can't wait to try out the "nude" one. Nude color is so in this season. Every girl needs to have a nude nail polish color as well as a nude color pump like this in her wardrobe

as you all can notice that's Selena Gomez. Her white dress goes perfectly with the nude pumps.

Got this Philosophy bottle from NOrdstroms Rack a while ago. It smells truly like its name, Apple cider. I cant tell you how much i love it. I got that big fat bottle for only $9.99 and I if you get it from Sephora it will be twenty something. Amazing deal <3 Big thanks to NOrdstrom Rack!


The local CVS has the sale BOGO on all Revlon cosmetic, so I got 2 back eye liners there.


My MAC Technakohl eye liner ran out, so I thought this time I would give Revlon a try. I thought the liquid eye liner was okay, but the crayon one really impressed me. Look how similar it is to MAC Technakohl:


The color is truly black, very pigmented, stay on the eyes very well... I'm in love with this eye liner already can't belive I got it for less than 4 bucks

I also did some quick shopping for earrings on ebay over the weekend. This pair of earrings only costs $1.7 shipping included. LOL. Look how beautiful the color reflects in flash... idk it reminds me a lot of the chrismas tree =)

Winter Haul

This is the makeup I wear on a daily basis. Fresh and natural.



Just some random things I got during the very first weeks of Winter. Since my final was coming I didn't have much free time to go shopping.
First thing first, my cosmetic haul from Beauty Crunch. I heard that Beauty Crunch is the only authorized company that sell discounted Stila and Too Faced cosmetic, so I put a lot of hope in my first purchase there. What I got were truly discounted. Everything in the photo below cost me 50.52 bucks and around $8 ground shipping fee. The shipping was not so bad since I only waited 5 days for this. Here was what my order turned out to be:


The price sounds awesome, but when it comes to quality, there are a few things to talk about.
The set of 2 major Mascaras in Black was $20. I was pretty excited when I saw that deal on the website, since I know right now Sephora is selling the same mascara for $22 each:


But can you see the difference? The mascara container in the picture above has some floral panel in it... while mine doesn't have. I noticed that right at the first sign and I felt like I was cheated. But still I gave the mascara a try. It took me several coats to have the result I wanted, but actually it was not that bad. The mascara really give my lashes length and many volume. Yet there is one more thing, I found this mascara's smell bothered me a lot. I probably will go to Sephora to check this mascara's actually quality out. I really don't think people sell a @22 mascara with this kind of horrible sense.

The other thins I got was a pearl shimmer gloss, a tube of gel cheek color in Pink Flush, and a set of "The Red Carpet look" eye shadow palette in "back stage beauty" with a little black eye liner. The website was nice enough to send me a gift, which is a Stila Lip glaze (the massive lip pencil one) in Ginger Bread. Now let me share my thought about them. I'm not so crazy about the gloss, since the applicator is tooooo tough! The color came out pretty nice though, but it hurt my lips whenever I apply the color on (I mean, really, it's that tough.)
And I think the cheek color is as horrific as the lip gloss. Every gel cheek color is supposed to be really concentrated, but the one I got was not pigmented at all. I applied a bunch of it on my cheek and it still barely showed any thing. I hate it. Such a waste of money.
The eye shadow palette was... okay. Here is the colors:

I thought those colors were very nice and wearable, yet they didn't stay very long on my eye lids and tended to fade away. I did like the colors though. Probably it was because I didn't use any eye primer at all.
The eye liner the palette came with was actually very good. It was so creamy and pigmented. I love it as well as the lip glaze. Those two things probably were the only things I was happy about in my entire purchase. In short, I don't think I'm gonna purchase anything from that website again. I have a feeling that website may sell fake cosmetic. I no longer have any trust there.
Oh, here is what I found on youtube. A girl was giving her thought on her first order from Beauty Crunch website. I don't wanna be mean, but I doubt her review =).

Alright. Here comes some shoes. You will hate me when you know how much I paid for each of them. Hah!

Michael Kors- $30


BCBGIRLS-$25

OMG I got them from a store called NordStromRacks. That store is pretty much like Ross and Marshall, but they only sell discounted stuff particularly from Nordstroms. I'm still in a daze when recalling the moment I saw those shoes. I could not believe I would ever get a better deal. Those shoes were 75% off at first, and 50% off later on. That was how crazy it was. They're 7 and a half, which is a half size smaller than my size and I take PAIN walking in them. But it doesn't matter. It definitely worth the pain walking in these lovelies... lolz

That's pretty much all I wanna share today. I gotta go sleep now cuz it's 5 in the morning. It's snowy now in Virginia and I might stay at home all day tomorrow. It's gonna be a white Christmas for sure, isn't it exciting?

Love,
Chi

Start Fresh!

Oh well.. I just deleted all of my old blogs since i noticed that they all had major grammar problems. Shamed on me. Any who, hope this will be a fresher start. I will be doing makeup, fashion, and haul blogging in this little blog spot. And I'm sure my blog will be a bit different from the others... simply because it's all gonna be about discounts, super deals. Everything that I'm gonna show you guys here in this blog is purchased from me and by my own money. I know how hard it is to make money so I know how spend it accordingly. I always wanted to do this but i never had time. Now it's Winter break.. Other than being home alone and studying all day, I will not have anything else to do.. hah just kidding I'm not doing this just because I'm bored. This is for the love of fashion.

May love fill your hearts this Christmas.

Love,
Chi
