• Graduation ceremony in the City Hall

    I AM AN OFFICIAL GRADUATE STUDENT NOW!! WOHOOOO!! All the graduate students were gathered at 14.00 for rehearsal and photography. The real graduation ceremony started at 17.00. My feet hurt SO MUCH we walked up and down the stairs and with my high heels it wasn't easy. It ended up that me and Louise sat down on the floor when waiting for the walkout (with our big dresses yes, not very glamorous haha). We all were starving as well!! ...

  • Max factor xperience review and a mini excursion with Miss N!

    So I returned to my favourite mascara brand, Max factor! I randomly bought one at HM because I had a 20% coupon and saw that there was a new Max Factor collection out that is called Xperience. This collection is very new so there are very few people that have reviewed the products but since I have always liked Max Factor's mascaras, I bought one anyway ...

  • (Almost) Everything about Mei aka Mei Mei

    ...Usually when I am awake and gets up to make my bed (I sleep with my door closed btw), I often find Mei sitting quietly outside my door waiting for me to come out (so freaking cute). She yawns, stretches and gives me a good morning meow. She sometimes wait outside the bathroom when I'm inside LOL...

  • Let me present my kind of new kitty cat, Taiga :D

    I got a new kitten in May 2011 and his name is Taiga (his former name was Lion King, but I didn't really like it... so I changed it haha). He is a lynx red pointed Birman, and is supposed to have quite rare markings. Oh well, not that I really cared for that when I chose him. I chose him simply because of his sweet sweet personality....

So far I'm really liking this product : D the colour i have is soft rose. I have been looking for a lipstick that matches my own lip colour. Because its good for everyday wearing, it goes with everything. One con would be that it does not have spf protection. I had previously bought the Maybelline Nude lipstick collection which I have been liking a lot, but I have been using it for a while.... like 2 years?? For hygienic reasons, I thought it was time to buy a new one :P

I purchased it from boots, 2 for £10! So me and my friend bought the lipsticks together, she chose the baby pink one.

Ring from Accessorize £2.40

I bought this a month ago but I haven't actually seen it until I returned back to UK. Urban Decay Naked for only £26.77 LOVE!

I've been looking for good looking and affordable red pants for ages, Zara £16 :D


Last but not least, I decided to buy an electronic toothbrush because I don't want to get plaque again, it was TOO painful last time when visiting the dental hygienist. It was actually on sale (55% off ish) so it cost around £27. I thought it was the cheapest one! But apparently, Argos has cheaper Oral B lines for only £17!! =___= anyways, I'm trying to comfort myself by thinking mine is more value for money since it's from their "professional" product line.

IT'D BETTER MAKE MY TEETH SQUEAKY CLEAN!!

I went to the city centre today with my friend S because she lost her phone today :( so we looked at phones and she bought a sim card. She didn't buy the Iphone 4 since it cost almost as much as the new Iphone 4S which will be released this Friday. I on the other hand, had my stupid lamp (which was the second one already since the first one was broken) with me for a refund at Argos. It stopped working after two weeks and it's my secondd lamp already!! So I was quite upset and ready for a fight with the salesman but I didn't even have to put any effort for it lol:

Salesman: Hi, so what's with the lamp?
Me: Well it's not working anymore, it's my second lamp already. It stopped working after 2 weeks!
Salesman: So what do you want?
Me: A refund!
Salesman: Oh ok, come here please.

So that went smoothly! The problem now is that I don't have a table lamp anymore (and I'm not sure if I want to purchase one from Argos again after th
at bad experience), I'm hoping that Homebase has stocked up there table lamp - because I really need one.

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

Anyways! I did some shopping too! We went to Primark and Tk Maxx! I bought a pair of legwarmers and a very nice Angora top! I also bought a pair of Rockport flats for 29 pounds only! I love TK Maxx btw it's like a big Outlet shop with different brands for low price! I'm definitely going back later to buy a nice bag!!

Knitted Angora top from TK Maxx 24,99 pounds, it's apparently a designer brand called James Lakeland that is quite expensive (?) because the recommended price for the top is actually 125 pounds (it's crazy) O__o the size is L so I'm wearing it like an oversized top. It's soooo soft and I love lace details :D

Legwarmers from Primark 4 pounds

I didn't take pictures of the flats, maybe next time!

Yeehh after coming back from Hong Kong för like three weeks I am finally fully charged to blog the interesting things I bought.

I bought Majolica Majorca's new mascara called Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo. It has pretty much the same formula as the former mascara I have from them, The Lash Expander Frame Plus. The main difference is the brush, Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo has a brush and not a comb (which I really didn't like about the Lash Expander Frame Plus). Anyways I
t works great, super water-proof and very light.

Since I really love their mascaras I thought I should try their eyeliner as well, the Perfect Automatic Liner. I am kind of disappointed with this product. It does stay for the whole day but GOD IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO APPLY!! It takes AGES to make it look smooth and even on my eyes T__T I don't understand, I've read many good rev
iews about this product....

I bought a blush brush and a small eyeshadow brush at SASA, T
hey were quite cheap. The blush brush cost like 50kr and it's goat hair. Despite the price, they are really good! But then, these are my first make up brushes ever haha but as a regular make-up user, I am definitely satisfied with them :D

The small can-looking thing next to the eyeshadow brush is the Salmon Dark Circle concealer cream from Skinfood that people have rave
d so much about.

Well I am not that impressed:

The colour: Too light for me (it might suit me better when I am pale like white paper in winter).
Coverage: It's okay, almost as good as the Maybelline mineral concealer that I use. And it doesn't crease BUT it does crease if you appl
y powder on top.

Formula: It's too oily, it feels sticky on my skin.

I rate it 6 out of 10. I won't repurchase it again considering it cost around 120kr :P not cheap in other words!

I went to Colourmix and bought some Liole stuff! This is Liole's Blooming Pop Pinky tint that you can both apply on lips and cheeks. However, I prefer using as a liptint because it's rather difficult to blend it on cheeks. It looks like a bubblegum pink colour on the brush, but it looks more natural pink on the lips. I guess it also depends on your own natural lip colour. I love this product!! :D :D
Okay so here's the famous Liole's Triple the Solution B
B cream. Not too expensive actually (I've read it's pricey but I guess HK sells it cheaper?) 120kr ish - as much as the freaking concealer from Skin Food GAAH!

Anyways, I really like this BB cream even though it's different from my Skin79 BB cream which I love:

Colour: It really suits my skincolour, it is slightly darker than my Triple Functions my Skin79. So it's great for summertime. Especially it has better Spff++ f
unction than Triple Function.

Coverage: It is a bit thicker and has better coverage than the Skin79 BB cream I have, so I need to be careful not using too much product. Nevertheless, it feels light on skin.

Smell: Not a fan of the smell, smells like some old French perfume...

To sum up it's a great product! I'm planning to use the Liole BB cream during summer and sunny days. I can't decide if which one I prefer though, the Skin79 one or Liole. The Liole BB cream is also supposed to help lighten dark spots, I need to use it more frequently and for a longer period and then get back if it really has this function.


I bought some skin-care products from JuJu cosmetics. Their Aloe vera cleanser, toner and lotion. They are really nice! Very moisturizing and gentle. Great for winter time when I'm super duper dry.


I think that's all the make-up and skincare products I bought in HK :)

Why is that you ALWAYS find things when you are not specifically looking for something? I promise my intention today was just going out to change my pair of faux leather leggings from S to XS at MQ and then head straight back home and drink mom's yummy chicken soup.

Well, what happened?

My confession:

I just "accidentally" went to Gina Tricot and found some awesome cheap stuff. And on my way to MQ I, again, accidentally went to Zara just "have a look" and found a pair of cute denim shorts.

This is not good for my wallet...

.... OH and I totally forgot that I bought a pair of over knee shoes at Vagabond two days ago......!

>____< Rings from Gina Tricot. Silver: 20SEK Gold: 40SEK


Jeans shirt from Gina Tricot. 49 SEK (!!) It originally cost 199SEK

Denim shorts from Zara 178SEK, original price: 399SEK

Faux leather leggings from MQ, they were 50% off and cost 125SEK

Last but not least, my new over-knee boots from Vagabond! They were 50% off and cost 700SEK


Confession ended.



EDIT: I need to add the cashmere cardigan and pants I bought from Zara >_<

Here are some things I have bought lately on sale!! :D


A cute La tour Eiffel neclace from Lindex ...

... and Mei loves to play with it

A cute pouch from Zara!
A knitted jacket/cardigan from Zara as well. I have been looking at this top before the sales started, it's so comfy! However, as you can see on the picture, the size is large (it was the last one) but it still fits me. I think it's supposed to fit more tightly, but I actually prefer it loose.

Alright so I promised to show miss J my new coat that I bought from Topshops website. It is much cheaper to buy from their website than their actual shops, especially now when the british pound is so low!

(my face is sooo round and chubby nowadays T_T)

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

Yesterday I had the sudden urge to make a yummy cake and I wanted to try a new recipe. So I googled around and found a recipe for Japanese Cotton Cheese Cake.

It took some time to make this cake and my mom complained how troublesome it was (even though I did everything by myself), that I was wasting my time and what if it doesn't turn out good and blablalblalaa...



Luckily, the cake was a success! The cake is SUPER SOFT! Not too sweet and very YUMMY! Both mom and dad loved it hahahaa! (Mom stopped complaining about how troublesome the recipe was :P)

Yo!!

I was so disappointed with the maybelline colossal mascara, it smudged after like 4 hours! And I even bought the waterproof version. Well, I have heard many good things about this mascara but I think my eyes just don't go well with maybelline mascaras. I have never bought a maybelline mascara that doesn't smudge on me!



So I returned to my favourite mascara brand, Max factor! I randomly bought one at H&M because I had a 20% coupon and saw that there was a new Max Factor collection out that is called Xperience. This collection is very new so there are very few people that have reviewed the products but since I have always liked Max Factor's mascaras, I bought one anyway.

I couldn't find a picture of the mascara brush, but it looks like Max Factor's False Lash Effect only less big. So it's made of rubber-ish material as well. Now, choosing mascara is rather individual it really depends on what kind of effects you're looking for. As for me, the most important criterias are:

* Seperating - because my lashes tend to lump up easily and it looks really wierd

* NON-smudging - I think it's an asian thing, make up tends to smudge easily on me. Maxfactor mascaras don't smudge on me, love!

* Curls my lashes - And again, I have the typical asian lashes that are extremely stubborn and unwilling to have a nice romantic/fluttery curve. (Sigh)

And this mascara meets all my requirements (it kind of curls my lashes, not into the very glammy lashes though... but good enough for my asian lashes XD)


Pictures:

No-makeup (a tired eye)


After applying the mascara (only upper lashes)



* Obs I didn't curl my lashes with a lash curler so it's quite impressive how it manages to curve my stubborn asian lashes!

People that are looking for a mascara that makes their lashes look fuller and more dramatic, you should go for a mascara with regular brush (not rubber).

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

Me and Miss N went to town to find her Zara coat but all the small sizes were out of stock =/ we also went to a crystal store to look at the Swarovski charms. As all the Stockholmers might know, there's a new tramcar in the city and we decided to take a ride with it :D

Miss N the tourist doing da asiaaan poooose!!

Soooo I have finally taken some pictures of my purchases in Canada (I will upload more later)

These are the bags that I got in Canada! Well the DKNY bag and wallet are actually paid by my sweet parents, they were actually reaaally cheap. They cost all together around...700+kr. The pink leather bag from Coach is actually from my aunt (I know it's super pink haha but I like it).

The BB cream is from Skin79, it was rather expensive... about 200kr I think. I have another Skin79 BB cream which I love so I wanted to try another BB cream from them. The two Essie nail polishes are great! I have tried both of them. Opi and Essie are much cheaper in Canada.

I absolutely L-O-V-E the menthol chapstick! It does wonders to my dry lips! I haven't tried the strawberry one yet, but it should have the same formula I think. Anyways, they were super cheap! Cost like 14kr each and I think the menthol one is MUCH better than the expensive lipbalms here in Sweden. I don't really know the brand's name though.... everything is in Japanese -.- that is actually a big fail.

The purple mascara is from Cover Girls. I do not recommend it all! Black things start to fall down after like 4 hours! So I am trying to finish this thing up as soon as possible so I can buy a new one! Probably Max factor haha.

The silver pen below the Cover Girls mascara is actually a brow-pen. It is however too hard to use as a brow pen so I use it as an eyeliner instead :P it actually works alright.



More pictures soon

I got a sms from miss J at 09.30 on a friday morning: "hurry! Cubus has 50% off between 10.00 - 11.00". I was really tired and I just didn't bother to hurry up so I arrived around 10.30 and holy cow the shop was crowded with people lining up to the cashier! Despite all the people and nasty impatient queuers, I managed to find three garments.

Poor miss J who had been stuck in the queue for ages was so kind and helped me to pay (otherwise it would have taken one hour for me to line up) so Big Thanks to her!!


Everything cost totally 398kr which is really cheap, so I'm really happy :D


Btw I just got back from my crazy Tallinn trip, however I'm way too tired to blog about so I will save it for later.
