Current Obsessions & WANTS

2011-12-15T02:27:00.002-05:00

So I decided to do a post on my current obsessions & WANTS.

and since Christmas is coming up anyways, I thought why not?

So recently I found this site that had awesome stuff & for cheap too...

and I've been browsing through it and found a bunch of stuff that I LOVE

and absolutely WANT and would love to have! haha & these cheap prices

aren't helping either... I'm trying to xmas shop for others, and here I'm wanting

a bunch of stuff myself... bad. BAD.

Anyways, I thought I would share of some stuff that I fell across and am now

in love with... let me know what you all think! yay? or nay?

So I have been having this obsession for Wedge Booties and well, actually just any Boots
in general and this site Wholesale-Dress has sooo much selection! they sell women fashion clothing and accessories, such as bags, shoes, jewelry and even WEDDING apparel! and

its actually quite nice too! so much cute clothes and shoes! I go crazy here... >__<

and the PRICES are sooo CHEAP!! I'm just amazed! woooo *happy dance*

this boot is totally AWESOME! you could style it so many ways!

& I absolutely love the RED! this is a must have!

OMG, there are so many pages! I think I'm gonna have to stop here

it's endless, theres 121 pages and I've only reached 22! and this is only BOOTS!

I can't imagine how many shoes there are... insane! I LOVE IT! haha

I guess I'll check out the other kinds of shoes later... now onto clothing & such.

------

Okay, so I don't want this to be a super super long post...

just a super long one is fine. LOL. So, I'm just gonna post a bunch of random stuff

My first L'oreal Infallible Lipstick buys

2011-12-09T18:10:00.004-05:00

So I finally decided to pick up some L'oreal Infallible Lipsticks!

seeing all the hype about them and all... hehe

I only picked up two, the Tender Berry (519) and Perpetual Peach (423)

they're very pigmented and smooth, and they don't dry my lips out either.

I like Tender Berry better which is a mauve-y color

compared to the peachy nude Perpetual Peach...

I've been feeling mauve-y colors lately... probably since its autumn?

I dunno. haha- but I'll post photos and swatches below! :)

--------------------------

BTW, anyone have Instagram? im obsessed! lovee it. hehe

look me up! mtngo or Duyen Michelle Ngo

Hey bloggers! how is everyone doing?

its been awhileee since i've updated with a new post, i know!

so i thought i'd do a longer than usual blog post!

so, recently i had the chance to make a trip to Korea! (feb 27-apr 4)

since my oldest sister, Kimmy was teaching english over there,

it was my chance to visit! since i've always wanted to!

i am obsessssedd with all things korean! i swear.

from the food to the music to the dramas! haha yes! i admit it :P

Seoul, SKorea reminded me alot like the NYC, with the busy streets

filled with people walking everywhere! :) i miss that.

I had a very memorable time there for sure! we took the subway

everywhere! and i have never walked so much in my life! haha

the food was definitely awesome!!!!! thats the most missed thing

about Korea for me.. yes. the FOOD! haha im a fattie! ;)

so heres a recollection of my trip in pictures! enjoy beauties~

(in no specific order cause i suck with organizing)

hope you enjoyed! :) & if you want to know a little

bit more of my trip then watch my vlog! :)

SEARS MAKEUP HAUL + MISC.

2009-04-27T23:40:00.000-04:00

so i heard from a fellow YTer about Sears having this

sale on makeup products-- super super cheap makeup, that is!
--big thanks to lopezpisces25 for the tip on such great deals!!--

& of course, grl like me who always loves a good bargain,
i decided to stop by the mall to stag a few goodies here & there..
when i got there, i was lost at first.. thought they didnt have it =[

but then after walking around for a bit-- i found it! =] yayy!!
in a little section with the perfumes & other beauty products
i found the makeup train case box that i originally came to get
but, after looking at it myself, i chose not to get it.. for many reasons
even though it was only 10$!! yes, only a measly 10$ --

instead i got 2 other makeup kits! which i thought was better! hehe
& the total cost for both came up to be less than 20 friggen $!! wicked.
super goood ass bargain for sooo much makeup! loveee it!
though i haven't swatched any of it yet.. haven't even opened them yet!
but i have heard good reviews about the brand: colorworks
i will try to post swatches later this week! =]

kk so here are photos of the 2 kits i bought:
i really like the round makeup case.. so cute!!

i got this for only 7.99$!!! crazyyy
incldes eyeshadow, blush, bronzer, lipsticks, lipgloss,
nail polish, eye pencils, brushes etc.

i love the case!! got this for only 10.99$!!
incldes brushes, eye & lip pencils, lipsticks,
lipglosses, eyeshadow, blush, bronze etc.

love em' all! so if you love makeup & bargains like me..
i strongly suggest you stop by your local Sears & get some!
i believe theyre trying to sell it all.. so theyll have it til its sold out?
like a first come first serve basis?.. but don't take my word on it!

kk enough with the makeup stuff.. well maybe not just yet--
here is a recent photo of me with a japanese kawaii inspired look:
hope you guys like it! let me know what you think! =]

-- now, to end this post on another note..
im going to post a photo of my babygrls sleeping lol
they are so cute! i love them so much! =D
my bf is so gonna kill me for this.. but i cant help it

hehe.. yep thats my 2 babys-- the bf, vu & the doggy, lexy
aka i like to call them my babygrlsss

so thats all folks! for now.. lol. & until then, toodless!

A PEAK INTO MY PHOTOGRAPHY WORLD

2009-04-27T02:43:00.000-04:00

so i decided to post a few of my photography work,

after coming to the conclusion that my blog is such a huge boreee

i'll give a fair warning now; I AM NOT A PRO!
photography is just one of my many many hobbies--

there was a time where i was totally obsessed with
taking photos everyday, mainly trying find people who
would model for me, though with a low rate of success.
depressing, i unashamedly admit.

but lately, i haven't given much thought about
my camera, let alone photography & photoshop..
[photoshop being my whole world only a few months ago]
what my mind was on & still currently on: MAKEUP & YOUTUBE

but recently.. i'd say hmm this week recent? lol,
i have had more interest in taking photos because of
the friggen awesome weather lately.. 75+!! SUPER AWESOME.
it just makes me want to go outside & snap*snap away! LOL ;]

BUT lets not stray from the original subject too much here,
i'll go more into photog later on but now- I need to post some photos!
yes sirrrrrr! ENJOY lovelies! & until then! adieu' sweetss---
