My 1st Loose Button Luxe Box

I finally got my Loose Button Luxe Box in the mail last week!! There must be something wrong with Canada Post or my apartment, because seems like I can never receive stuffs in the mail without any delay or troubles...-.-

Anyhow, let's jump into the box!! Right off the back, I will have to say I LOVE it~ =) I haven't tried anything from the box yet, but I think it is very worthwhile to keep subscribing. The packaging is so nice and I especially like the ribbon on the box.

I got 4 products in my box this month, and as I said, I haven't tried any of them yet. But here are some of my first thoughts:

1. Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant (13 g, 0.45 oz.) 
- Wow, I'm so excited to get to try Dermalogica, a brand that I've always wanted to try!!
- Honestly, this is such a deluxe sample. I don't think you need too much each time. This sample could last me forever!!
- This is a powder exfoliant and it contains no artificial fragrance or colour. Can be used daily.

2. China Glaze Mini Nail Polish (9.6 ml) 
- in RECYCLE (a dark grey colour)
- This in indeed my 1st China Glaze nail polish. Thanks Loose Button~ =)

3. Consonant Body Organic Olive Oil Body Soap (112g) 
- I think I have heard about this brand before on youtube, but not too sure... I'm not too familiar with this brand, but I think it is based at Toronto.
- I think this is a FULL SIZE product, unless their regular soaps are gigantic.
- It has a slight clean scent, and the ingredients are extremely simple: Organic Olea Europaea Fruit Oil, Aqua, Organic Beeswax, Glycerin
- I am usually not a soap person, I prefer body wash way more... I have tried Lush's soap before and I didn't like it.. =( I think in general soaps are very drying and I have dry, eczema skin. I don't know what I am going to do with it yet. Maybe I will give it a try or give it away.


4. Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Day Serum (10 ml) 
- an anti-aging day serum
- I actually don't have much thoughts regarding this, I might give it to my mum to try. I don't have too much experience with anti-aging products yet.

P.S. There is also a small piece of chocolate, which I think is from Hershey's? =S

H&M Blazer

I love this blazer but I couldn't find my size before and today, I was lucky enough to find a size 2 and a size 4 on the rack!!! If there wasn't a size 2, I will probably go with the size 4. But it ended up the size 2 fits me even better~

I felt like these official pictures do not really reflect the beauty of the blazer. I think it looks much prettier in person than in these pictures. Maybe I should try to take a picture of me wearing it. =P
I actually did wear it today to an event. I am totally those people that cannot wait to wear new stuffs immediately!! And this blazer might look familiar to you if you watch youtube videos because I think I have seen a few girls showing this blazer in their haul videos~

Speaking of haul, I really wanted to do some haul posts since I shop crazily recently.....-.- But stupid Forever21 or Purolator messed up my shipment and then now my package is nowhere to be found!!!! It arrived at my city but I never got a notice and then within a few days they sent the package back? And then Forever21 said they don't have it...? I am really disappointed and don't really know what to do except waiting for them to get back to me.....><

Alrighty, it is kinda insane that I'm blogging at 4:30a.m.... Just because I messed up my nails and I have to re-do them.... Good night~!!!!!!

Forever 21 Order... A Break from Studying??

Almost there, almost there!!! 2 more exams to go and then I am done!!!
These 2 exams are really stressful because they are back-to-back - 1 tomorrow night and then the other 1 the next morning... Not to mention this is a 1-year-course....-_______-
Sigh... I'm really not feeling great for these 2 exams... (fingers crossed!!!!><)

Anyhow, during this whole exam period I have been visiting the Forever21 website whenever I take study breaks and of course, I have been playing the game of adding "stuffs" into the cart and then decide if I really like them. An epic failure... I ended up really liking some of the items but I was hesitating to place my order. Well, then I realized some of the items "disappear" from my cart@@!! Of course they are out of size/stock!!!!>< I never knew that things can be sold out that quickly on Forever21's website (and I also learnt my lesson from Kate Spade...) and thus, I HAVE PLACED MY MASSIVE ORDER TODAY =D (I'm kinda hoping this smiling face will make myself feel better because this is such a huge shopping spree... my bank account for sure is not happy with it.)

I have never ordered/bought that many stuffs from Forever21 before. I usually ended up only getting 2-3 items from each trip if I made a purchase. But I am so excited this time since I think I have stocked up my Spring/Summer wardrobe with some varieties~ Hopefully they will fit me well!!!

Until then, I should really get back to study................

Loose Button Luxe Box!!!

I just purchased my first Loose Button Luxe Box!!! =)
Cheers, finally something for us Canadian~!!!
I'm so excited and cannot wait to receive it. The shipment date will be the week of May 9th. I guess I will have something to look forward for the first week of Summer classes~

Certainly will update when I get my first box in the mail, stay tuned~ =)

My Beauty Wishlist

1. Clarisonic Mia Pink 

To be honest, I wasn't really thrilled when the Clarisonic first came out and received so much hype. But I just have been hearing so many great feedbacks of it and I have been struggling with small bumps on my face for the longest time and nothing will work!!! =( 

A beauty blogger recently also suggested me to try the Clarisonic for the bumps problem I have and this convinces me even more to try out the Clarisonic!!! 

And.... I am so in love with this baby pink version!! Not only it supports breast cancer research, pink is my favourite colour!!! 

Should I invest??? It priced at $149, but it is more than that because you will have to replace the brush head every 3-4 months and I think each brush head is $25. This is certainly a long-term investment...... 

2. Urban Decay Naked Palette 

Okay, I guess I need not to say anything about this Palette. Ever since I heard about it on Youtube, I just want to get it so badly!!!! BUT, IT IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THEM!!!!!!!!!>< 

Although people said that they are back on racks again, I'm not sure if this is also the case in Canada... Oh, and here in Canada, it's priced at $58 at Sephora (versus $48 in the US). 

3. Sephora Professional Platinum Blush Brush #49 

I wanted to try this Sephora brush line because I saw missglamorazzi on Youtube constantly reaching for a blush brush from the same line. However, I think the one she has in particular is no longer available. I do not have an angled brush like that and I figured I can probably use it to apply blush/highlights. 

4. Shiseido Softener (Toners) 

I am running low on toner and I have been eyeing the Shiseido line. I remember I received samples of the Shiseido softeners before and my skin really did feel softer with that 1-2 uses. 

However, I am really debating which one I should get... 

- The Skincare Hydro-Balancing Softener $35 

- Pureness Balancing Softener $24 

- White Lucent Brightening Balancing Softener Enriched $48 

I would really love to try to Hydro-Balancing one but since we are starting to enter Spring/Summer months, I am afraid that it will be too rich. But at the same time, I do not really have oily skin (well, maybe combination?) so I am not sure if the Pureness Balancing Softener will work for me. And last but not least, Asians just LOVE everything about "Brightening" or "Whitening". But the White Lucent line is significantly pricier and how much can a toner do to brighten up my skin? 

I will definitely update if I have purchased any items from the above list!! =)

Bad Hair Day (featuring Po Po)

Po Po has bad hair day too, haha!! 
I'm sorry Po Po, I know this is the first post on this blog about you and I should have introduced you with a pretty picture. =P

Questionnaire

Allison (a.k.a Amarixe on youtube) was what inspired me to start this blog, her Monday Questionnaires to be specific!! I just thought it was so fun to read and I'm finally answering them as well~!!! =D

P.S. I really like her~!!! (I hope this doesn't sound creepy =P )




1.) Mood:
Still feeling tired and so not ready for meetings and night class...-.- 
 2.) Do you take vitamins every day?
Nope. 

3.) Do you prefer sweet (chocolate/sugar) or salty (chips, etc.) type snacks? 
I actually prefer salty I think. I do crave for French fries and chips... I know, they are bad. And I know I'm a weirdo, but I don't really like sweet things. For most of the time, I just think they are too sweet. 

4.) Current nail polish:
Nothing. I know this is boring, but I actually can't wear nail polish for most of the time because of my volunteering position. And I was never a huge fan of nail polish to start with. But recently, nude colours are really getting onto me! 

5.) What color are the walls of your bedroom? 
Creme white? I didn't choose it, it comes with the apartment and I don't think I'm allow to change it. But in my previous apartment, my bf was so sweet and painted it pink for me while I was away. A huge surprise!!! 



6.) Do you like to cook at home or are you more of a take-out person?
Definitely cook at home!!! More healthy and also save money~ 

7.) Current outfit? 
Embarrassingly, I'm still in my sleep wear - Victoria's Secret Flannel Sleep Shirt. 
 
8.) What is your favorite television program?
Ummm, I'm not sure if I have a favourite now. But I am watching Gossip Girl and Project Runway. 

9.) Can you do a cartwheel?
No...too hard for me I guess. 

10.) Weekly goals: 
Plan my Summer courses. Not to be late. And work on all those little annoying "administrative" things of my life.
