Illamasqua Bronzing Duo

Hello guys! ^_^

Quick little review on this product. I actually don't own this product anymore since I returned it. But thought I should share my thoughts on it :)

Photobucket

I was so so SO excited when I saw this product at my local Sephora! (Colorado Sephora's don't carry Illamasqua) and I thought this bronzer duo was to die for. The shades are so beautiful and perfect, exactly what I was looking for!

Sorry I don't have the swatches =T didn't think about it before I returned it lol. But they're the shimmer bronzers, not matte.

Anyway the reason why I returned it is because they really accentuate my pores. Like BAM! My pores are so out there and obvious. And you guys know I don't have large pores. So for a product to do that to me... O_O Sighhhh so disappointed >_<

That's my quick share on this bronzing duo! Hope some of you found it helpful ^_^

Clothing/ Shoe Haul Summer/Fall 2011

Hey guys!

How's everybody doing? Happy Friday ^_^
Today we had a sunny day in Maryland! Which made me sooo happy cuz weather here is usually really gloomy... so I decided to take some time off and make a video =D Don't know if you guys enjoy this kind of post/video, but I had fun making it, so I hope you guys likey ^_^


Yes it's the City Hunter soundtrack. I finally watched it (yeah I'm so behind XDXD not a big Asian drama person at all but my roommie convinced me lol...) and I'm officially declaring my undying love for Lee Min Ho. LOL!!!! He acts so well  O_o I'm mega impressed <3 <3 <3 I'll probably be obsessing with the soundtrack for the next month ahaha.

Anyway LOL back to the video. 99% of my closet is composed of Forever 21 clothes LMAO!! I'm really cheap when it comes to clothes. I get tired of my clothes really easily, whether they're expensive or cheap pieces. I rarely get any jewelry but I want to start building some accessory collections to spice up my outfit... I usually dress really simple lol!

By the way I took advantage of the 30-50% sale at the Nine West website (ninewest.com) and bought three pairs of shoes =D I finally got a pair of flats!!!!! So happy!!! And a pair of nude heels =DD (although you can kind of see my toes with these heels... =T no likey but I still like the shoes) but my favorite piece has to be the sequins shoes. The photos didn't do them justice. I love them so much!! Something about the super thick heels make them extra sexy. hehehe. I really love Nine West shoes! It's pretty much the only American shoe brand I trust to buy heels. Their shoes are so comfy and don't hurt my little Asian feet. lol! Anyway there's also an extra 25% off Friends & Family sale (select styles only though) going on right now so I encourage you to take a look and take advantage of it if you see something you like ^_^

I'm also planning on making another video, which will be a collective haul+ mini reviews of the beauty products I have purchased over the last 6 months?!?!?!?? So look out for that if you're interested ^_^

Okay I'm going to bed now. So tired!

Have a great weekend guys ^______________^

Jiyeon "Cry Cry" Music Video Inspired Look ^_^ and AWKWARD hair XD

See my video tutorial here if you're interested =D 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys ^_^

Before I start, I just wanted to mention that the imposter's profile has been taken down. I'm not sure if she figured I know so she deactivated it, or facebook deleted it, but either way it's gone. So thank you guys again for looking out for me/helping me report the person ^_^ Seriously, I found that I actually don't care that much... hence... I didn't do watermark for my pics again this time XD Laziness triumphs copyright XD okay okay I know I'm not being smart. I will watermark next time, when I have time XD And just wanted to let you guys know, the only reason why I wanted to clarify about the imposter is because I don't want anyone to mistakenly think she is me. Frances is my real name. And by the way I made my fb account non-searchable. So if you see me anywhere on fb it's probably not me XD 

Photobucket

Anyway, ever since I saw Jiyeon's look from the Cry Cry music video, I've been dying to try the look on myself. If you haven't seen the music video, check here. Seriously do it <3

Here are some screen shots from the music video ^_^ Hopefully you can see the makeup a little bit better.

OMG why is she so HOT even when she's crying?! If I were crying my eyes would turn red and my nose would turn red too -__-

Here's what I have. Obviously we have different features/eye shapes so it's hard for me to replicate it, but anyway this is just how I'd personally translate the look on myself.

I photoshopped most of my pictures because my hair doesn't appear as black due to the lighting and it bugged me >_< So I adjusted the contrast and brightness. And I changed some pics to black and white ;)

Photobucket
Much better with photoshop right? XD OMG I really want black hair and short hair now O_o I want her hair I want her hair I want her hair >_<

AHHHH I wish I have hair products to work with. I lost my clay when I moved -__- need to buy styling products *makes a mental note*

Stolen Pictures

Hey guys!

LOL! Ummm.... I'm not even sure what to say in this post LOL. Honestly I never thought this would happen to me so I never bothered doing watermarks (well that and I don't know how LMAO xD)

But anyway, a very sweet reader notified me that someone has been using my pictures, thank you Ayumi ^_^ <3

Anyway, here's the imposter's link:
http://www.facebook.com/kanon.kimura

And the other person's pictures which she claimed to be the "14-year-old" version of me is a Taiwanese celebrity. Her name is 丫頭. Just Google image "丫頭 黑澀會" and you'll see her.   

Honestly, I am more shocked than angry XD it's kind of funny actually. My first reaction was... "WTF I'm not even Japanese!!!"  LOLOLOL. I was so tempted to add her on fb to see how she reacts LMAO. But I don't want her to have access to my fb -_-

So anyway, thank you Ayumi again for letting me know, and all my other readers out there who look out for me =D You guys are the bestttt <3

I just finished my third test for this week O_O two more to come next week *dies* okay now the excitement is over I'm so sleepy! Going to take a nap then studyyyy.

Hope you guys are doing great ^_^ Stay warm!
