BESTIES❤LOVE

In celebration of AniB's birthday, the girls and I went out for dinner! Muahaha~
Cryz recommended this restaurant in Richmond, Kishu Poppo (I like to call it Kishu Poopoo...close enough) Anyhooo lots of laughs throughout our 4 hour dinner LOL (I guess that's what happens when 4 girls and their bears get together...

HAPPY 2Xth on April 09th babe!! 



The gorgeous girly gang (and Mochi (middle), being the only 'male' member) 




Beautiful AniB with the 'children'


Is this cute or what lol Boo actually covers Carmen's face HAHA So QT!!


Gorgeous Cryz and Mochi, sporting his raincoat and hat hehe



I got home that night, and had to camwhore a bit with QQ, to show C QQ's outfit lol


And of course... as usual, I like to drop photo bombs all over my blog of QQ... 
Seriously. Look my straight in the eyes, and tell me that this picture isn't adorable. Thanks (Auntie) Carmen for the cute polka dot dress!!! lololol



That's it for now... 3 posts later... wheeeee Good-o night! ❤

SPRING☆FEVER

Three more weeks until LA, and I am super EXCITED!! Trying to get my life organized, booking in appointments and trying to stay active :) Signed up for a gym membership and going to dedicate minimum 2-3 days in the week to be active!! (Hopefully lose my stomach flab too =.=)
Tried Zumba with the girls yesterday and it was super fun! I can't wait to go again! I must say...that I miss yoga though :( Loved that last class that I had...

Anyhooo, to recap on the happenings of May:

I made an order on Lush.UK with a dear friend!
Lush always makes me happy :) I ordered 5 items (only 4 are pictured in order below):

1)  The Brightside (Easter product) - I absolutely LOVE LOVE this smell! It's so citrusy!! I've cut this bar into about 9 pieces--that's good for 9 baths!! Despite how small I've cut them up, this baby creates loads of bubbles :)


2) The Comforter - This is the Lush favourite and you can find it at pretty much any Lush store.  I wanted to try this to compare sizing from the UK size vs. Canadian. Somehow...it seems...bigger.


3) The Immaculate Eggception (pink) (Easter product) - I got QQ to pose with this one because it's so adorable! Once the shell breaks open, there is actually a surprise inside...just like Kinder Surprise!! Except...in your bath :) 



4) Madame Butterfly (Spring product) - This bubble bar wand, looks adorable.. and it smells so nice too! I have yet to use this, but it's supposed to smell like the Rose Jam, and I love the scent of that, so I just had to try Madame Butterfly. 


5) Magic Mushroom (Not pictured) - I think this bubble bar took quite a toll on its way to Canada... so it didn't look as nice as it did in the pictures, but meh, it smells great! I'm really looking forward to using it :) 

Overall, including shipping, the items cost on average $9 a piece, which was actually proved to be less expensive than buying them in Vancouver1 Some of the items that I chose were $10.95 in Canada, plus an extra 12% of HST. Totally worth it :) Props to you, Stella, if you ever read this!! 

On a recent trip to Bellevue, which by the way, was fabulous, yet again, I picked up something...amazing. 

...Yes...I gave in...and splurged on these... but golly... after using such nice lipsticks...I'm not sure I'll ever want to go back to any other brands... 
I bought both the lipstick and the lip gloss from Dior's Spring collection in colour: 643.  I must say though, I like the lipstick a lot, but the lip gloss is a little too pigmented for my liking. I need to use it more sparingly... or definitely on top of a colourless balm, rather than on top of its sister lipstick.  




Swatches, lip gloss on top, and lipstick on bottom. Now I know why so many Dior lipstick fans out there rave about the texture on these lipsticks... the formula is great! Doesn't dry out my lips, and they are highly pigmented.  Love love love the lipstick... so in love


Now to shed some light on non-makeup'y things. I thought I'd share a really cute picture of QQ and C together hehe and of course...QQ and myself in the mirror!!




MARCH☆IPSYGLAMBAG

So I have finally cancelled my Topbox subscription.  After the last box that I received...really just felt like I was receiving the leftovers from previous boxes- serves me right for not choosing a prive box!
I just thought that I would post a few pictures of my Ipsy Glambag for March instead of my March Topbox.


1) Juice Beauty - Hydrating Mist
2) LA Fresh - Travel Lite Makeup Remover 8ct Pouch
3) GLAMRX - Mini Freestyle palette 
4) Yaby Eyeshadow refill x's 2 

Overall, I really liked the idea of the items that came with the March Ipsy Glambag.  These were all items that I could potentially bring with me on my upcoming trip.  I've tried LA Fresh's wipes before in the past, and didn't have a great experience, but I'll give these sheets a try to see how they fare :) Perhaps a fresh pack makes a difference! As for the GLAMRX, it is such a great idea!! 


Open it up, and lookie!! I just wish that I could stick my favourite Urban Decay eyeshadow shades in here inside though :( I'll have to do some more investigating! This is such an awesome size for traveling! And it has such a great mirror too! The Yaby eyeshadow didn't do much for me... it wasn't as pigmented as I would have liked them to be. I tried to swatch them on my hands, and they didn't show up on camera at all...so I ended up scrapping those shots.
