Favourite Products of 2010 + Resolutions for 2011!

Today is the 10th day of 2011 and I hope you all are progressively making your resolutions come true. 10 is the very first number to round up in the number family and I hope to make today a little special by doing what 10 does on a daily basis wtf. I was never a person who would ask myself to change this change that. Hence, shame to me I never had any resolutions because I honestly didn't see a point in making any - I felt like if I meant to do something or was in urge to do something, simply and easily, then I would. Though this year is a little different, I unwillingly participated in the society work force, dedicating 30 somewhat hours a week to a job fml. It's not like I don't like my job. I have started working full time for exactly a month now and am loving the environment, people and how much I am learning everyday... but it's so different than sitting at home or going shopping everyday, and be able to blog however and whenever I want.

Things are different now, you know?

So this year I want to make some resolutions for once to keep things on track, since there are many more 'obstacles' fighting against my freedom. And I want you all to supervise this resolution newbie in making this happen aka I want you all to be apart of my life :P

Also as to relate to my primary purpose of this blog, I want to do post regarding my favourite products of 2010. For the sake of my blog I will not go into super details of each product but I will try to list the reviews I had on them if possible.

Resolutions for 2011
- master in snowboarding: as I tweeted earlier as a joke, I am taking snowboarding really serious this year. I am going to snowboard every weekend until I could do it in Aspen, then Switzerland.
- lose 10 lbs and become a hot girl so all my ex-es will regret if they haven't' already: Just kidding la, though I really wanna start dancing or kickboxing again or some sort of routine exercising to keep my body strong for snowboarding, and simply to stay healthier.
- grad school / work overseas decision: probably not going to have to decide until later on this year since the deadline for this upcoming September has already passed but I wanna figure out if I could get into Stanford or some ways to work in either Singapore or Shanghai... I don't want to stay in this East Coast weather if I was about to spend 2 years in school (after 6 years-_-).
- travel: not sure if I could do as much traveling as I did in 2010 since having a f/t job but will definitely try going to somewhere new if I could get vacation days from work.
- everyone stays happy, grateful and healthy!

What are your resolutions? And what were your favourite products of 2010?

Let me be your summer fairy ~* Shu Uemura Palette Fleur de Source

Summer is here! Are you just as lazy as me?
Chilling in the bed and watching dvds,
Thinking what I can offer the world and imagine a heaven steed soaring across the skies.

so called 天馬行空。

Let me be your summer fairy,
Let me make your dreams come true.
Let me introduce you..

Shu Uemura Palette Fleur de Source

Shu Uemura isnt only popular for his lash curlers. His other products are just as great, uv base, blush, concealer, cleansing oil, nail polishes...you name it. Being introduced relatively late to the US market, Shu Uemura has been very popular in Asia for years. One random day, I bought my first pair of tweezers in my life from Shu. After 8 years of disappearing from time to time, its still next to me right now. Surprised uh? Even their tweezers are superb. This shadow palette isnt anything new either. It was actually bought three summers ago yet I rarely use it caz its too colorful for daily use. Its still my fav, extremely pigmented, extremely smooth, perfect for a summer dream <3

FOTD using the palette

The blues dont really show in these pictures. I was going to list the products I used but guess its not going to be helpful caz of the picture quality uh :( .
5 stars for my squared face attempt
...and Creeper Alert!!

Isnt this palette beautiful and summery?
I was very hesitated to buy it (i know myself too well, and proof: it is still almost brand new after 3 years today-_-) but was told the palette can be reused, as I am looking for these days - just to be green. sighh i dont even know when i will finish these 7 colors haha probably never :P

What are your summer colors?

FOTD Orange No Shadow (Revoln Self Adhesive Lashes) Look

Hi Dolls! omg Sorry I have been so busy wrapping up the semester in the past week, didnt even have time to update. Today was a big day for me. Possible last day of class in my life! I also had an informal interview with the study abroad organization I want to work for. I was freaking out inside! nonetheless, I am back! didnt have a lot of time this week but still able to squeeze time to do this orange look yesterday. Its super simple. Clean Face, no eye shadows or liners, long lashes and orange lips!

*p.s. i meant to put the flower onto my hair but it kept falling haha

FOTD Orange No Shadows Look

Products used, literally (From left to right):

Revlon Fantasy Lengths Self Adhesive lashes in 99501 Defining*

MAC Loose Power NC20

Shu Uemura Cream Eye Shadow in P Brown

Skinfood Aloe Sun BB Cream

Etude House Jelly Bar in 07 ( <3 )*

Skinfood Salmon Darkcircle Concealer Cream

Benefit Hoola

Revlon Fantasy Lengths Self Adhesive lashes in 99501 Defining

Ok so first of I want to say the Revlon Fantasy Lengths lashes are pretty bad (esp compare to Asian brand lashes that use artificial hair) maybe they just arent meant for Asian eyes lol. They are wayy too long for my eyes, actually poke my eyelids.. but that might be because i have really flat eyes. In terms of the self adhesive part.. another disappointment.. it is so NOT sticky! lol what a waste of money. Thing is I have another pair in fantasy. oh my..

Etude House Jelly Bar in 07 Orange

Can I just say I love this jelly bar? I have had this for maybe 5 years? (... i know im not supposed to still use it) the name is all worn out and I didnt find out its by Etude until recently-_- they probably discontinued it awhile ago already since I didnt see it in their store when i was in seoul couple months ago. Regardless, it is still good! still super balmy and shinny and orangy! just love it!

k sorry my thoughts are all over the place. lack of sleep last past couple nights. gonna take a nap before heading out tonight wohoo! will probably do some editing later (i know my grammar lol) but until then.. take it easy :)
