My work isn't the typical 9 to 5 work time so I miss a lot of the shows I like.
I caught up with The Amazing Race and can't wait for this Friday's finale. I am rooting for the Surfers and the Candy Girls to win the race. The Surfers gives this positive vibes, that I for one would like in my life. I don't see that they fight much and notice that they understand each other. Really just a good feeling and I really hope that they'd be together ufor a long long time. Bethany's already pretty impressive, being able to adapt with her environment. She climbed, did puzzles, crossed a very shakey bridge and etc. with only an arm most of us will either whine and or give up. The Candy Girls, well they're my nerds. And Maya is just a ball of energy, she's somewhat related to the Powerpuff girls. Usually, the East Coast see the result first I would be camping Twitter to see who won.
Now this one won't be a spoiler since the finale been aired a couple of days ago. I really like watching Junior MasterChef well because its a show with a bunch of impressive kids who can cook beyond their years. The final two is between Logan and Samuel. The latter is known for his upscale and sophisticated menu well the other in my opinion is not only adventurous in the kitchen but his menu relates with the masses. I was surprised who won the competition. Logan is it usually the front runner but has been upping his game and slowly rising to the top. while Samuel has been at the top most of the time . during the cook off they both showed skills , complicated techniques don't you usually see kids their age do, such imaginations and brave souls to take such risks. Knowing a bit you can guess that Samuel has the probability on his side. But then it was really impressive that Logan won. What I think that made Logan successful was that he didn't overthink his menu and stick to what he knows. Yes he did some risks but it's paid off. He's branzino didn't look appealing to me but once it was opened you can see how moist the fish was and it became mouth watering to me then. Samuel's menu looked appealing but wasn't much impressed except for the Panna cotta. Congrats to Logan. I hope all the kids on that show continue their culinary dreams.
The one I got really excited about the Sing off but was sad to learn that it was only for one night, I cried. One thing I like about the show is you see the progress of the groups as the show goes along. Of course the first is to impress, but you see more of their differences and style and see who have the chance to succeed. And of course the eargasm and ear bleed along the way. I was really impressed with SanFran6 and The Exchange. I have a inkling that if the show continues they have a higher probability to win, but congrats to the Mealdores. To be the first collegiate acapella group to win.

Work vs Chores
Ugh really I'm not a fan of household chores, I can do my shift with little rest but I'll still be alive in the end. But chores... no x.x I'm one of those people who would rather pay do it. Hahaha! Well eithrr that or not really motivated to clean. This is my fail attempt with tidying up my bed xD

Beauty Post: December 2014
Finally~~~~ hahaha!!! After editing my previous posts, since I had it all *_* on drafts and didn't have the time to edit it before, I reach December~ lmfao!
Well I made it a point to myself to update my blog (even though I think one or two oorrr none reads it hahaha) but since the life has been dull lately, the only fun and/or exciting that happens to me is getting my subscriptions.
Anyway, I was happy that I got my Birchbox and Ipsy at the same time this month~ At the same time!!! Lol! Well because last month *coughs* I didn't get my Birchbox until the last week of the month when it has notified me that my box already shipped out days ago.
Birchbox's this month was designed to help prepare for the upcoming festivities and I guess that is just what I received.
1. Mirenesse Secret Weapon iCurl 24Hr Mascara
One cannot have enough mascara, and I kinda use it a lot xD! To me it's just a simple look going out put mascara, lip tint and face powder and start doing errands~ The mascara's heavy on the color and heavy for the lashes ^^; but if it's just boasting the unique brush and the dramatic look, I'll stick with Maybelline, it's a cheaper alternative for me
2. Vasanti Brighten Up!
If it's not a peel it's a exfoliating cleanser. I'm looking forward to using this product as I liked the scrub I received I think on my first (or second) birchbox. Compared to the Acure Organics that I got before which was grainy, this one is like washing your face with very fine sand. I used a bit of it in my hand and liked the smooth feeling it left on my skin.
3. Cynthia Rowley Beauty Creamy Lip Stain - Sugar (Nude Pink)
Not excited with the color, but my sister is xD! She wanted a nude color lipstick or stain. Texture wise, it's not as sticky as compared to the Mally beauty liquid lipstick, but you have to do 2-3 coats if you want it to be seen or visible.
4. Beauty Protector Protect & Oil
I like hair products :D! >.> If you have been reading my posts I like it when my skin and hair feels smooth and silky, on top of smelling good! The scent smells yummy, and it doesn't feel greasy on my hair. Hopefully I'm not allergic to it as when I tried the Macadamia Healing Oil spray.
5. Whisk Shave Cream
._. hahaha~ I'm not sure if I want to use this product. I mean I haven't been using a razor since I started using those no shave creams and it doesn't leave my skin dry afterwards. Price wise, I would stick to the no shave creams or gels, most of them includes a plastic shaver (or spatula, I don't know what they're called) compared to buying an expensive shaving cream and razor. Now being allergic to the no shave creams or gel is a different thing tho :P
Ipsy: Thinking of you bag
1. Bumble and bumble All style blow dry
Definitely using it tonight, going out to a party and hopefully this doesn't leave my hair heavy or dead
2. Nourish Organic Renewing Eye Cream
I have nothing to compare this one with, and truth to be told, I haven't tried out any eye creams xD! I'll update again once I've tried this one out
3. Nyx Butter Lip Stain
I read that it's Nyx and I ran away. LOL! I never had a good reaction to Nyx, my sister thanks me as this is one of the cases that she ended up again with one of my samples ._. I had her to try it on but as it's not as pigmented as other lip stains are. Pass *_*
4. Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes
Yay I got 2 mascara's one from BB and this one. It's light on the lashes, but needs more than 2 coats to be visibly show. I like it better than the Mirenesse one even though I need more coats but I can control the "dramatic" effect I want on my eyes. I'll be using more of this one, price wise again, Maybelline but if you want to add a few bucks (like $3-4) you can try out/get this one
5. Crease/Shadow brush
It's a makeup brush... I am happy~
Since I'm starting to have somethings to compare to, It looks like I might be using more of the Ipsy products compared to the Birchbox D:!

Beauty Post: Backtracking to November 2014
The month of Thanksgiving!!! And yes, I have a lot to thank for. I'm blessed with family and friends who are very understanding and always there for me. And news that I got hired at the hospital I'm applying for~ Wooohoo~~~ Thank you for the prayers *insert heart here*
I had my last day at work already, thanked everyone at worked. I have a week free of stress (well not really) before I start on Monday.
Also I thank that I subscribed to Birchbox and Ipsy! Hahaha! Yes... I'll deviate there hahaha! Work is stressful, one of the few things that makes it less is getting these box/bag every month, it is as if (as the others are saying) "it's your birthday every month." Some may say that it's a waste of money, well it makes me happy :P and it's not as if I'm spending hundreds of dollars, yes it's a few bucks, but compared to my stress level its nothing.
Anyway, November month I started to subscribe to Ipsy~ I got lured into it from the positive (and negative) feed backs of other subscribers, and getting more skin care products from Birchbox. I like getting random stuff but not from the same category.
First off, since it's my first Ipsy Glam Bag, them for the month is Glitter
1. Be Delectable from Cake Beauty Hand Cream in Strawberry and Cream
It smells really sickening sweet like you want to eat it, but alas it's a hand cream. The scent to me is a bit tiring so I can only last for a day, after that I need to switch to something else because it's too much for me. What I like about this product is that it does moisturize and keeps your hands soft and it's not sticky. I have don't know where the glitter here is xD!
2. Glamglow Powdermud Dual Cleanse Treatment
I'm still debating whether to use it or not, smells good and it doesn't have an ingredient that I'm allergic to (well as of the moment since I did just recently found out that I'm allergic to macadamia oil). I like how it smells, I work with my nose xD! well not really but if I don't like the smell I don't like to use it, most of the time.
3. Be a Bombshell eye base in Submissive
Before trying a new product I read what are the stuff in it, yes I'll try it even though it has parabens on it (of course I'll like it more when it doesn't have it ^^;) but because I learn which and which not I am allergic to. This product has macadamia oil *cry* in it so I'll pass using it. Color wise, at first it's a shimmery bronze color but I had my sister (huehuehue~) test it, it comes out mostly as a shimmery base.
4. Jcat Wonder Lip Paint in Mad Splatter
It is highly pigmented, a little goes a long way... it's a deep purple or mauve. Something you can wear in the office, like a power lip color (is there such a thing?) but not when you're going shopping or exercising... or a lip color suited for going out at night, just add something glittery/shimmery/ glossy for clubbing at it's a bit matte to me :P
5. Starlooks eye pencil in Ultra Violet
The item I most enjoyed in the bag. As the color suggests it's in ultra violet, with specks of glitter in it. I have a not so good relationship with eye pencils, but this one's very soft, quite pigmented and glides easily in my lid. I don't have to fight with the pen or my lid xD!
Birchbox on the other hand is helping raise awareness and money for the fight against AIDS, and was donating $1 for every Instagram photo with hashtags within the month. Maybe not a lot but with the collective efforts of the subscribers, we could reach thousands~
1. Gilchrist & Soames body lotion in Relaxing Sea Fennel
It's more of a cool cucumber scent and yes a total opposite from the one I received from Ipsy. I would use this more compared to the hand lotion I received as the scent isn't sickly sweet. Doesn't feel greasy and to me leaves a cooling sensation.
2. Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive
Another peel ._. haha~ I think I received three already. My face is dry already, I have to look it up somewhere if using peels would make it worse. I would pass using this one for now (or maybe use it on my sister huehuehue~)
3. Coola Mineral Sunscreen in Matte Tint
Sunscreen with SPF 30 and a BB cream. I guess good when you're out in the sun, something to take note of when summer comes xD! It's already almost Winter, if not already (heh I fail my seasons) I like how it glides to my skin, and can be used as a base for your make up.The matte finish takes away the shine on your face. But don't forget (like me) to use a moisturizer before.
4. Model Co Party Proof Matte Lipstick in Get Naked
Nude color. It's in matte, it looks like your not wearing any lipstick at all, thus the "Get Naked". I don't know what else to say *sweatdrop*
5. Chuao Firecracker Chocolate
"Mini Chocolate bar with a dash of chipotle and popping candy in dark chocolate" - The popping candy is a nice touch, but it taste's bad, even my sister (who loves chocolates) didn't like it. I don't recommend trying it, not unless you really want to, go ahead. I ain't paying for it lol!
6. Klorane Dry Shampoo with oat milk
I know I'm lazy, but not that lazy to wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner. I won't be trying this one anytime soon, not unless I'm really in a hurry. But with my profession, this won't work. I have wash my hair with water to make me feel like I've removed all the gunk out or something liek that. Hair's feel softer though xD!
I'm not really good with ending stuff so lol! Let's jump to the December hahaha!

Beauty Post: Backtracking to October 2014
It's October, Halloween month~ xD!
Felt like it's my birthday again when I got my Birchbox, I'm happy with I got for this month since most of the samples I'll be able to use and test out.
1. Dr Brant Pores No More Vacuum Clear as you may have guess, yea xD it's a vacuum cleaner, just kidding. It takes out blackheads. I asked my sister to try it out as these kind of stuff I'm a bit skeptical. I guess I never got over a bad experience before. She said it was okay... To me that sounds, no not really.
2. ModelCo Powerlash High Impact Black Mascara: I like this product, I use mascara almost everyday, but for the price I think I'll stick with my Maybelline Volum' Express The Colossal Washable Mascara. As long as you really put them on nicely, they don't clump on me.
3. Harvey Prince Petaly Noir: "Flush floral scent that evokes a midnight stroll among blossoming orchids"; The scent to me is very heavy and strong. In my opinion, something that you may want to wear on a date, and/or wanting to seduce the other person. One may want to keep this scent to do that xD!
4. Mally High Shine Liquid Lipstick - Petal to the Metal: "Ultra shiny formula acts as a lip gloss, lip primer, lipstick and liner all in one" To me it's sticky, you need to use a balm first or your lips are going to dry out. It doesn't fade out fast, and it's easy to apply. Shade wise, I was aiming for the Melon as I don't own a orangey or coral shades and wanted to try it out, but I got the Petal to the Metal. Really shiny, pigmented and well to me a bit sticky, but stays on your lips~
5. Essentiel Elements Wake Up Rosemary Shower Gel: First thought, smells like medicine to me xD! One thing I like about shower gels and such is the scent and how it leaves my skin feeling smooth. And it didn't. *sad face here* At least I guess it foamed D:! hahaha~~~

Beauty post Backtracking to September 2014
As I have more time to do it now I'm backtracking to my September, October and November Birchbox and Ipsy, my takes on the products, more of like err am I gonna use it or not...
For those a bit confused, Birchbox and Ipsy are both subscriptions that sends you at least 5 beauty samples every month...
SEPTEMBER: Birchbox
I was lucky that I was able to sign up just before their anniversary month, they sent one full size beauty product to their subscribers
1. Temptu Highlighter in Champagne Shimmer: Yes it's the small bottle, my make up style is mostly asian type, not much with the highlighter, just a simple blush sometimes just a cheek tint.
Yes, it's that small bottle
2. Real Chemistry, Luminous 3-minute peel: my face is dry, always peeling, gave it to sister to use, she said, nothing happened... LOL
3.Macadamia Professional Healing Oil Spray: Yes, I am believer oh now amazing this product it. My hairs feel so smooth, easy to manage and style. Thanks to this product, I learned I'm allergic to macadamia oil too... I cried. It's one of the products that really worked on my hair but I started to have rashes.
Yes, it's that small bottle

Thanks to this product, I learned I'm allergic to macadamia oil too... I cried. It's one of the products that really worked on my hair but I started to have rashes.
4. Acure Ogranics Day Cream: Smells really good, not too greasy in my opinion but since my skin is so dry, didn't work as much as a moisturizer for me I had to use the one I'm using for safe measure.
5. Harvey Prince Ageless Liquid Loofah: I have to admit I love my shower, my whole family knows that. So I love getting these kind of products, but this one is a bit disappointing in my opinion.The scent was nice, grapefruit-vanilla but you have to have a strong sense of smell to notice it *_* and didn't (as the product description says) hydrate and softened my skin.
6. Dundundun~~~ (No that's the name xD) Chapstick!! : It's a duo or dual, my English fails me today, one end moisturizes and the other renews. Aside from the Macadamia Healing Oil Spray, the other useful product that I got from the box. I've been using this a lot, with and without, before and after my lipstick and it does what it says. I don't like the feeling when my lips are dry and you can see the skin kind off peeling off, it's very unappealing.
So that's if for the September, I didn't subscribe to Ipsy until later~~~
