humid weather & dry skin

I know there are a lot of beauty gurus and females out there who have the heart of an entrepreneur, therefore,  I think INC is super useful.  I subscribe to their newsletters and I get a lot of really useful and interesting articles, not to mention lessons on leadership, marketing, sales, etc.. =) I highly recommend this site! Try it and let me know if it's useful for you =)


During my visit to Wisconsin a couple months ago, I used my Rimmel's Fix & Perfect Primer, liquid eyeliner, some blush, and a darker red lipstick with hair tied in a bun. I recently realize that my skin does better and has less zits in places that are more humid. This is strange since my skin was very oily- but now it is rather dry, even before Fall approache!

If your skin has recently become more dry due to increase in temperature as October is ending, try what I've been doing for this past week- use olive oil.  I just put some on my face and leave it over night because my other moisturizers haven't done a good enough job.

I do not know if its the olive oil nor the increase in my intake of water, the new Face Shop Acne face wash I've been using, or the new Face Shop Post Acne treatment- or maybe the weather- or all these combine, but my skin seems to better, especially under the eyes and the cheeks. My pores are not as visible and it has been more smooth.  I still have my acne spots that I am working on, do you know of any products for acne marks?


 I usually never really dress up nor put much makeup for school- but I was so excited to try out my new mascara (click here to visit my previous post on it) It definitely gave me volume, but you have to give it 2 or more coats, the 1st coat may not do it. 

Midterms will be coming up soon and I will be studying  a lot more because I like my classes and the materials I'm learning, especially my Excel class!  If you haven't learn Excel, you should start taking a class for it because it is so fun, really.  It is sort of like a magical crystal ball that can forsee the future, but of numbers, calculations, percentages, or even savings rate.

I will stay focus!
Have a wonderful night -)

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.

It's been x days of running

This was me roughly 3 weeks ago when I first embarked on my journey to run everyday for 100 days. Before this project, it was difficult for me to complete a 1 mile run or jog, without huffing and puffing, but after 3 weeks, I can make it to 1 mile without wanting to give up. I used to be quite jealous of people who sweat a lot at the gym because I did not have the perseverance to run to the point where I would sweat, I just gave up too easily. People say if you fully commit yourself to something for 100 days, you'll blown yourself away, you might even be really good at it. To be honest, I have not run everyday since I have started, but I have done the best I can within the last 3 weeks. I should be up to 5 miles/run now, but this is the breaking point. I've jogged up to 4 miles (with a walking break after every mile), but my mentality hasn't been there recently. I run at our local community center and I would watch The Big Bang Theory  or Modern Family  as...
