I was in an office, waiting for the front desk associate to come back to the office so that I can hand her my resume and cover letter- instead of sending them through email or fax, I thought that by showing up will help me to stand out among other candidates. Well, I guess that's one thing that an applicant can do to help him/herself, by showing initiative (unless the company specifically states "please do not call or show up at the office soliciting [ I'm joking about the soliciting part])

"Judge your success By what you had to give up in order to get it. - Dalai Lama

 Things, people, and memories pop up every now and then to remind us not to worry about the little things.  Success is much more worth it when you work really hard for it, even if it may come slowly, almost like a turtle.  I guess that is why I tend to have a great amount of respect and admiration for those who have achieve certain levels of success (although this may be bias because we don't know where their success came from), some easier than others, but they probably had to have given up a lot to be standing in the place they are now.

"If wealth is lost, nothing is lost. If health is lost, something is lost. But, if character is lost, everything is lost."

and this is really interesting to me (via about.com) 

Everybody has a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in their personality. You cannot be a do-gooder without having a mean streak within you. Good and bad are two sides of the same coin. Duality of human nature is necessary to create harmony. Celebrate the darker side within you. It is the darker side that gives sheen to your personality. Here are dark quotes that bring out the best and the worst out of you.


Everyone, especially women, are so afraid of growing older, of wrinkles and crows feet, etc... but I think there is something incredibly powerful about growing old, older.  When I see older women walk by in the mall, I think they are incredibly beautiful, especially those with white hair.  It takes a lot to live. Growing old isn't easy.

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 ...

5 Wet n Wild lipstick swatches, why customers' reviews are important to a business, WIN free eyeshadow!

 Practicing makes perfect, repetition with practice is even better I had told myself I'd dedicate an hour every day to practicing makeup applications but the past couple of weeks have been so busy for me that I haven't been able to- but then whenever I do practice, I always try the same groups of colors on the eyes and same techniques. My goal is next time I practice, I will have a YouTube video on and practice along with the guru as well. You assume once you watch something, you can replicate the same colors and techniques after- but not I. I do not want Beyoumakeupshop's customers nor my friends, or people I know to think I am always about promoting our own products. I really do try to find different ways to use the products, research on the products and reviews, and I do try to test on myself prior to adding them. I have not tested nor use everything in the Shop, but hopefully over time I will be able to. Why customers' reviews are important to a business I bel...

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise...
