June & July Current Summer Favourites

Today is another day of totally not in the mood to put together a lengthy review on a certain product, lets just briefly talk about what I have been loving lately. 7 items - some oldies, some new stuff, not a whole long of list. Keeping it short and simple.
1 | Escada Island KissIt contains Orange, Passion Flower, Mango, Magnolia, Sunny Accord, White Peach, Hibiscus, Blond Woods, Musky Notes, Red Fruits... the list goes on. As you can imagine, Escada Island Kiss is of one of the sweetest perfume you could possibly imagine in a light and delightful way. It was also the very 1st perfume I owned ever since high school. Though I prefer the old packaging, I always keep a bottle of this to use during summer days and nights.


2 | Hera HD Foundation in no.21
A proper review will come after. Finally have time to give this foundation a go after receiving it for quite some time now, I adore the jelly consistency of this foundation. Easy to blend, medium yet buildable coverage for a dewy finish. It is also quite good at keeping the oil under control.
Featured in both Cathy cookieyuri's Monthly Favourite video HERE and Rae raeviewer's HG Top 5 Liquid Foundation video HERE
3 | Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef (left) What is better to put on some coral lipgloss on a beachy breezy kind of day? The coral color matches a lot of the brighter tone of colors I wear during this time of year and instantly brightens up my complexion. The jelly consistency plumps up the lips too.
4 | Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart (right)There are several ways to use this lippie. With a full application, it provides full opacity like the OCC Lip Tar, or MAC Pro Longwear Lip Creme. It however, of which is also the way I perfer during the day time, can also be applied alternatively with a light hand to blend the color with the lightest amount. It almost makes my lips nylon. 
5 | Shiseido Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara
A proper review has to come later. This is of one of the most fiber-licious mascaras in the Majorlica Majorca line. It volumizes the lashes like crazy and is waterproof! One thing to keep in mind is that since it puts on so much volume of fiber to the lashes, it holds off better to build a light curled base first then to build up the volume using this mascara.

6 | Nars Orgasm
Yes you already know, full review HERE, one of my favourite blushes of all time. The peachy pink tone instantly brightens up the complexion and gives the skin a nice glow.

7 | Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Radiance
Personally not  huge fan of Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (anymore) or foundation primer, not sure  the reason why I was drawn again to this primer. I just love the sheen when I swatched it at a Sephora and decided to give their base makeup another go. It turns out that I love it so much. I would not wear this primer alone because it will make me look like a reflective disco ball. You don't really see the sheen under any foundation or bb cream, whereas it gives a healthy sheen and makes the makeup last so much longer.

Chloe Eau de Parfum + Free People + Zara + F21 + Korean snacks and buns

Yet another shopping day for me!

I was originally going to check out the nordstrom anniversary sale that Everyone is talking about. I was drooling over this Nordstrom exclusive Dior "Ready to wear" palette. But surprise! I ended up not getting it because the eye shallows are not as dreamy and pigmented as I thought they would be. Its relatively sheer and frosty (wtf). I also dont think I would use the gloss on it often because of the form. The bronzer and the blush are gorgeous tho. So even its such a great deal ($56), I'd rather spend the money to buy couple full sized products that I truly like.

Anyway, now to the things that I actually purchased <3

I finally got the new Chloe perfume and can finally stop whining about getting it.
Sephora offers a box set with a 50ml perfume and a 100ml body lotion in a very pretty white box with Chloe printed on it. Ah love!



I have been using Versace Bright Crystal a lot. Its very sweet and summery thus I wanted somthing more sophisticated to wear at night. I am so hooked to this new Chloe scent since I first saw it in Korea more than half a year ago. I will do a perfume review later on :)


Talking about clothes shopping, how could I resist not going to Free People? As many of you already know, I am a huge Free People fan for many years. This time I picked up 2 dresses. I absolutely adore the super fun colorful braided halter on the 1st dress. The 2nd dress isnt anything special but as always, its FB cutting that fits me really well. It has the typical tank top string design of FP and I could also dress it up or down depends on my mood.

I also picked up this purse from Zara. I love the vintage design of it and the huge gem design on the front. I have been looking for this size of purses lately. Something that I could just grab and go with, but of which at the same time fits everything such as wallet, keys, a compact of powder and my camera in.



Not sure if its because I am getting old, I have been so forgetful lately. I recently lost my friend's audi key, my iphone, the one and only pair of glasses... and of course, numerous of earrings. How frustrating is to lose one of the earrings, right? I figured buying jewelry from Forever21 is perfect. Everything they sell is dirt cheap. The quality isnt all bad either. Just have to pick carefully. all comes to $20 only!


And you know me! How could a day be fulfilling without good food? I stocked up on Korean bakery and snacks for the whole week. Green tea, sweet potato, milk, cheese and melon bunss. Cup noodles, digestive, chocopie and seaweed. Yummmmm I cant wait to eat them all (ahem... I am actually already munching on the seaweed)


That's it! Hope you girls enjoy reading :D
