U-Kiss- 0330

I know that I've been posting about Korean Music in the last week but.. I can't help it!
So many good songs are being released! U-Kiss just released their MV for 0330. Might I add that I had the biggest crush on Kevin when he was in Xing?

Asos Review - Canada


I do not recommend ordering from ASOS if you're from Canada. Only because of heavy duty taxes. Clothes and styles on Asos.com are amazing and there's an incredible selection. Asos is probably one of my favorite online shopping sites. The free shipping lured me in but don't free shipping get to you! I got hit by duty taxes I placed a $40 order and got taxed PST and GST with an additional 18% duty and a $5 handling fee from CBSA for a total of almost $20. Getting taxed for half the price of the items I got is ridiculous! Good thing everything I ordered was on sale and was still decently priced once I included the duty into the price. I won't be reordering from ASOS again unless there's something I deem worthy of all this hassle.

Shipping for my first order took more than a month! It got lost and they had to send another order to me. I was fed up with the wait and when it got to my house with a $36 duty, I declined the package. My 2nd package was better. I placed my 2nd order two weeks after my 1st order and it came within a week! It got here before my 1st order. I wasn't impressed with the lost package.

I suggest sparing the disappointment of receiving the package with a duty fee and just order off another site. Unless you're someone who doesn't mind getting taxed 18%...unless ASOS decides to cover Canadian duty fees too, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Interview March 2011 Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried featured in the March edition of Interview. I really like this light, sheer, flowy, dark, sensual concept. She looks gorgeous! Amanda looks like a doll in the rocking chair and the carousel horse. She's one of my favorite actresses. Her image is really refreshing, definitely one to watch out for! I've always wanted Mary-Jane heels!

CN Blue Album Release

I'm so exited for this! I love the title song, I usually don't really pay attention to CN Blue but recently I got to hear their Japanese single and fell for them. Not to mention that they're cute! The lead singer, Yonghwa, looks really good with black hair.

Revlon Lipstick Haul

I was browsing through the weekly flyers looking for deals on makeup. Pharmaprix was having a Revlon lipstick sale Saturday and Sunday only for $3.99 each! I missed out on the sale last time and I couldn't resist, I had to get them this time!

I went to work from 8am-1pm on Saturday and went straight to Pharmaprix afterward. I picked up Revlon Matte Lipsticks in Nude Attitude and Pink Pout and a Revlon Moon Drops Lipstick in Blasé Apricot. I could have bought more but I was thinking more about my wallet, but these were essentially the colors I've been wanting for a while now. I also wanted a dark violet color but that wouldn't have been suitable for the spring and summer. I'll just wait til the next sale!

Swatches and Reviews Later!

Makeup Routine

These are some of the products I use, if not daily, then very often, interchanging between for my morning makeup routine!

I never liked the feeling of wearing a liquid foundation and was convinced mineral foundation was the answer until I found this! I absolutely adore this foundation, it's lightweight with light to medium coverage. The added SPF 15 is a plus. The packaging is luxurious and beautiful, I feel a bit old Hollywood whenever I pick this up. I've converted to liquid foundations and will keep repurchasing this one!

Anna Sui face Powder in 002This is a light purple loose powder with shimmer. I lightly apply this to set my foundations or BB creams. Be careful with the shimmer! The packaging is gorgeous, it looks lovely on my vanity. Anna Sui products totally suck me in with their lovely packaging!


Estee Lauder Artist's Eye Pencil in Softsmudge Brown Glides on very smooth and stays put. I have nothing to complain about this! Technically not waterproof but I've never had problems with it in the wet weather.

Clinique Colour Surge Eyeshadow Duo in Coffee ShopI use the darker shimmery brown of the two shades to set my eyeliner. Smooth and just an amazing dark chocolate brown. It gives a natural look. This is my go to eyeshadow whenever I don't know what to wear.


This mascara is my HG! Pretty much all the mascaras from Majolica Majorca is my HG! Separates and lengthens my lashes with fibers, waterproof and smudge proof, what else can you ask for in a mascara?! Volumize your lashes with the wider toothed brush side, lengthen with the fine combed side. It's a bit tricky to take off, but as long as you use an oil based makeup remover, all is fine.

Shopping + Song Ji Eung - Going Crazy



I just found this song today and I'm listening to it nonstop! Reminds me of a Korean version of those Eminem duets that's been playing all the time on radio stations everywhere. The MV features Min Hyorin. Her facial features are so unique and delicate. Her outfit here is amazing! The dark and eerie concept of the MV reminds me a bit of GaIn's "Irreversible."


My dad took a day off work so we went shopping today. I adore buying lingerie at La Vie en Rose. They tend to have great deals on night wear. I just love buying sheer, frilly, lacy slips!

I didn't bother trying it out at the store, I didn't have the patience today and bought this in a size small. Fit me perfectly at home. The double straps give the back a little cute detail. The lace front and bottom lined lace are just adorable. I'd probably wear this out with a tank or tube top underneath with a cardigan of some sort. I love finding wearable lingerie pieces to wear out!
