J- The afternoon tea

Hello! How have you been?

A good friend of mine told me about the new tea shop in town so my boyfriend and I decided to have ourselves a little afternoon tea before we headed to dinner.

It was such a nice day with blue sky and sunshine but the wind was strong and cold too. And I didn't want to wear a coat because I'm just sick of a long winter we have experienced this year. So I grabbed this fur at the last minute. Surprisingly, it kept me warm when I was outside doing the shooting (lol). For the price I paid, the vest is absolutely a great buy.

I started my outfit with some neutral colors such as white top, black knit pants and black pointed mid heels. Then I added the fur vest, not only it kept me warm also added a signature touch for my appearance. Since my outfit has a neutral tone, I paired it with a red bag to make it stand out. And last but not least, red lipstick to match my bag.

Messenger bag: Marc Jacobs, Watch: Michael Kors

Let's have some green tea!

L - Spring On!

Hi peeps,

I finally have time to sit down and write a new blog post. Thanks Jill so much for updating this blog so diligently; otherwise it will be pretty much neglected if it’s just only on me. I am still in a process of adding this new activity to my routine, finger crossed! :D

So Spring is officially here, just right on time when I feel like I've had enough of Winter.

I tend to wear shirts when I have no clue what to wear, especially white shirts. It is one of the most essential pieces in my wardrobe. 

Every thing/ every color can be paired with white; it depends on where you go and what the occasions are. I decide to go for a pair of faux leather shorts, not because it is much more comfy than jeans material, but also it gives a more chic look than just a typical plain black shorts. 

Because it is Spring time, you will never go wrong with a pop of color. I choose an orange pair of loafers to make the whole outfit more fun and casual.

Until next time, stay tuned!

J- Benefit Cosmetics Stain/Tint Review

Hey yo!

It's mid-March but the weather here is still not getting warm yet. What a long winter! I have been into lipstick and lip stain as I'm waiting for Spring/Summer coming. 

My Benefit Cosmetics came in today so I'm very excited to share with you guys. Benetint has become popular for a much wider clientele. It remains the company's best-selling product, with 10 million bottles sold. So I have to have this biggest sister!

Overview of the package!

Lollitint and High Beam as deluxe samples. Also it came with 2 other samples of Pore Professional

Here are swatches:
1) High beam
2) Lollitint
3) Benetint
4) Chachatint

I used natural light and the colors in the picture are exactly in person. My skin tone is warm and yellow pigmented. 

1) High Beam , 2) Lollitint , 3) Benetint, 4) Chachatint

After 10 minutes, I rubbed my skin to see if the stain still stayed or not. And here is the result!

Where did High Beam go? :O

As you can see, High Beam is completely gone. I was kind of disappointed. I'm glad that was just a deluxe sample. In my opinion, ChaChaTint in my favorite and next is BeneTint. Lollitint gives a bright and cool tone shade so I don't think it flatten my lips much. 

Here are some promo code I found if you order from Benefit Cosmetics
*Code SOSILKY or LUSCIOUS at checkout to recieve a full lipstick. Expires March 23 or while supplies last.
*Code ORCHID: with $60 purchase receive 2 deluxe samples: High Beam and Lollitint
*Code HYDRATION: with $35 purchase receive Total Moisture
Note: Codes are not applied if your bag has the Custom Kit or any Sale/Clearance product.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Kiss,

J - Iso Professional curling iron 5P with interchangeable barrels

Good evening!
I hope you have a good time no matter what you are doing. I've been very busy due to school and student organizations. Also, March is national nutrition month so I'm busy like a bee with a lot of campus activities.

I went to Tjmax last night to get some glass containers for food. Since the plastic containers get gross after awhile and I'm not a plastic-usage person so I did feel sick when I stored food in plastic containers. After getting a Komax container set,nI saw Ebay has them with a little bit lower price. Here is the link Komax Glasslook Containers.They are very good quality products and look very expensive in person.

I also planned to get some work-out clothes, not a lot bc I still have some already. I miss working out. I'm not a muscle built athlete person but I love to exercise a bit so my blood circulates well and also it increases my immune system. I practiced yoga for 1 year then I quitted because the instructor I had now is teaching at different time. So I decided to run around neighborhood.

I also got mirrored picture frame but I use it as perfume tray.

S-o g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s and I'm so in love with it. Here are some similar frames: 

While I was waiting in line to check out, I looked around and saw this OPI nail polish set, $7.99 for 2! They are so cute that I couldn't resist myself. This OPI Minie Mouse Collection was introduced in summer 2013. It's so adorable that I wanted to get this set for Linnie too. I know she loves red and also Minie/Mickey Mouse. So I went back there today and sadly, they are all gone.

Hi! I'm Minie Mouse!

I also picked up another set with 2 colors: Tiffany Case and Glint Of Glinda. 

*Tiffany Case does give a sandy texture and feel. To me, it has more green in person than in the picture, just like Tiffany signature color. 

*Glint of Glinda is from The Wizard of Oz collection. It's a very true nude color. HERE is the full collection.

 

Some pictures I found Online from shesaidbeauty.com and gnarlynails.com

Tjmaxx goodies!

Save the best for last! Check this out girls:

ISO Professional Curling Set with 5 Barrels

Thank you MyMr for this Curling Set. I'm so happy. I wanted an interchangeable set for a long time. I've seen so many Utubers did many videos about NuMe set. And for somehow, I can't completely trust their reviews because I know they got it free and also commission or things like that. So I did some research and found this set with a lower price and works amazing! I ordered mine from Amazon and they had only black color. Now I see the pink set too. Little bit upset since I love pink! Wink!

 

 You can tell the piece I'm holding is very curly (that's magic from Iso Professional set!)

Just like Taylor Swift style ha!

Say cheese!

L - One fine day in San Francisco

I've lived in North California for almost 6 months. Compared to busy and bustling Southern California (where I used to live), NorCal has a ancient and peaceful feel, at least it does in my opinion. San Francisco is approximately 1-hour-drive away from where I live, not that far for people who like to travel like myself. 

Every time I been to San Francisco, I gradually understand why so many people love this city so much. Personally, I love the architecture/views/atmosphere there - all the buildings,  steep roads,  busy people walking on the street. Basically, everything. 

So this is another trip of me exploring this city: the City Hall of San Francisco. I have heard many others say this is a perfect place for wedding photoshoot or just normal photoshoot I would say, and I have seen tons of them on the Internet and known how beautiful it is. 

Back to my outfit, from head to toe are all from Zara Winter Sale. The pants is my favorite, soft and comfy material, easy to pair with everything but can give a effortless feel.  

The knit sweater is unique since it has a "safety pin" print on it, really eye-catching but you can find this type of sweater with different prints in many other fashion stores. 

Last but not least, the shoes. I can tell this pair of shoes of Zara is quite popular since I've seen it in many fashionistas' photos. Being honest, I like them better in the website more than in real life. It has a semi-formal to formal look, definitely not a everyday/casual item for me. 

Top, pants and shoes -  Zara , Bag - Chanel , Sunglasses - Miumiu
