Tuesdays are the new Mondays.

Food, Rants

  • When people think ko0ty means “cutie.” It does not and I hate being called cute.
  • People who say they are on a “zero-carb” diet and I’m watching them pig out on fruit.
  • When we go for Chinese fine-dining and someone wants to order Sweet and Sour Pork.
  • When we have “Chinese” days on the menu and it’s always the same 3 things: Sweet and Sour Pork, Kung Pao Chicken and Beef Stir-fry. Most Chinese people I know would never eat that stuff… it’s like our equivalent of Big Macs and cheeseburgers.
  • When they charge $7 for a tiny ass bowl of Pho at the cafeteria that’s not even authentic Pho.
  • People who don’t eat vegetables.
  • I said this a billion times but I’d love to say it again: people who don’t take off their shoes in their house… and then lies on [or rolls around] the floor. Eg. the Kardashians— just watch their show! Just because you live in L.A. where you rarely get rain and snow doesn’t mean you don’t have dog shit, caked cat pee and e-coli under your shoes. And did you know that walking around barefoot [around your house] is the easiest way to keep your feet muscles strong?
  • That my belly ring is crooked.
  • When girls brag about starving themselves. Is that something to be proud of? If you actually did some research, you can eat all the things you love and still be slim. *points and laughs*
  • When you can’t decide what color to dye your hair.
  • When Youtube beauty gurus babble on too much in their videos. GET TO THE FREAKING POINT!! I don’t care what you had for breakfast today.
  • Don’t understand: the point in making VIDEOS of “what’s in your purse” or your hauls when you can just take a picture of it. I’m nosey but I’d rather take a 30 second glance than watch a 10 minute video of boring babbling.
  • With that being said, I hate it when excitedly open a link and it turns out to be a VIDEO or a SLIDESHOW (damn you FitSugar for your endless and annoying slideshows!!).

Annabelle Cosmetics is one of my favorite drugstore brands and they recently introduced their mineral makeup line which is just in time for summer! Mineral is definitely the way to go in the sweltering heat because it’s usually light and offers buildable coverage.

Annabelle Cosmetics

Mineral Powder Foundation – Feels light on the skin, offers light to medium coverage, depending on how much you use and has a natural and dewy finish. Only 4 shades and I was sent Barely Beige which is obviously too light for me during the summer but I tested it a couple of weeks ago when I was paler and I liked the outcome. I will definitely use this once I find the right shade.

Mineral Powder Blush – Extremely pigmented so you don’t need much product for a pink glow. I’m more of a bronzer girl so I don’t have much to say about this, but I do love the color I got (Sugar Rush).

Mineral Powder Bronzer - I LOVE this bronzing powder! It only comes in one shade, Terra, but it gives you a healthy tanned glow and you can gradually build up the intensity. It’s very pigmented so only start with a little bit. It also doesn’t doesn’t give you nasty BRIGHT ORANGE spots on your cheeks like I see on a lot of girls at the clubs… the color is more brownish which looks more like a natural tan. Also great for contouring and creating shadows because it has a matte texture. Although I loved this bronzer, it won’t be one I use daily because it’s not convenient to carry around in my purse since it’s powder. Boo.

Mineral Pigment Dust – Light but beautiful and pigmented colors, very shimmery, easily buildable for intensity and lasts all day. Comes in a cute little container that doesn’t create as much mess than ones most pigment powders come in but the hole needs to be bigger so my brushes can fit into it.

A-12 Blush Brush – Round blush brush that is made of premium goat hair. Not the softest brush I’ve ever used but it does blend nicely.

Volumelip Lip Plumping Gloss - Received Sweet Tweet and Cherryoké. Loved Sweet Tweet which was a light pink color but I couldn’t wear Cherryoké because it was too red for me. I totally envy girls who can pull off bright red lips! Formula is light, isn’t sticky at all (huge plus) and hydrates your lips but not as much as Marcelle’s Vita-Lip Plumping Gloss which they sent me a while back (and was nice enough to replace one when I lost my favorite shade!). My lip was already plump from Vita-Lip so I’ll have to test out Volumelip’s plumping action some other time. Comes in 5 gorgeous shades and I can’t wait to get Metro Mango!

Sorry guys, I know I need to clean my mirror.

7 More Things

Personal

Old tag from Bunnie:

  • I’ve never read Life Of Pi!! *hangs head in shame*
  • I thought The Dark Knight sucked.
  • I know Bunnie’s like cilantro but I think it  tastes like crap. When I was 5, we were at some Chinese restaurant in HK and I was quietly trying to pick it all out of my soup and my mom yelled at me and made me eat it while I sat there crying. It scarred me for life.
  • DantatThe same year we were in HK, we bought a box of egg tarts and as I was proudly carrying it home, Mom told me to give some to the apartment security guard so I went up to him and ended dropped the whole box on his shoes. I blame it on that damn bowl cut my mom made me get earlier that day.
  • I’ve been trying to design a new theme for 24C for the past two years, spending up to 6 months on just one, and only ended up throwing away every design. You are definitely your own worst critic.
  • I hate when I excitedly click on a link and it turns out to be a slideshow or a video.
  • My least favorite muscle group to train: BICEPS. They are so boring and the easiest to develop so I always do the least exercises for them. Zzz.

Anyway, I totally forgot about this but I found this old entry of goals I made for January to April:

My goals from now until April:

  • Absolute NO clubbing or alcohol.
  • Get body into optimal shape.
  • Keep all blogs up-to-date.
  • Put 3Gs into my “special” fund.
  • Personal shopping budget: $200/month. NO spending on books or make up… but clothing is fine. :P

At least I kept 3/5 of them! As for clubbing, I think I only went once so that was good but not much could’ve been helped with the alcohol. Body is not in optimal shape since I don’t think I’m pushing myself as hard as I did a couple months ago but I’m getting stronger so I’m satisfied. I will be in better shape later this summer though because my friends and I have lots of plans! I kind of struggled with keeping up this blog but I’ve been updating the other one daily. Shopping; I bought stuff in April but they didn’t get to my door until May… does that count?
