Shanghai Goodies!

My sister went to Shanghai with a friend and brought back a whole lot of goodies that I wasn't really expecting. This is just my batch she has another batch for her and for friends.

Mini OPI nailpolish

You see them here in the states but they come in packs of colors that are already set. She actually got to pick these herself. I have to say though they don't compare to the normal sized ones. The brush causes lot of streaks.

Everyone knows I have an obsession with green tea products and these green tea Pockys were my FAVV. The Green tea Halls were a little wierd to me but I'd still eat it =)

This is comparable to fix +. A little bit more refreshing

And this is where we hit the mother load. I wore the dramatic lashes and I LOVED THEM. $16 for both boxes you can't beat that price.

Makeup School Update: I've been in school for a month and I've learned a lot. I'm definitely going broke buying tons of makeup. I think it's time to do a FOTD dontcha think. Oh and I enrolled in hair class so I can do updos for weddings and such.

Before:After.. An Evening Out

I do makeup for a lot of people but I always forget to take before and after pictures. So finally I remembered this time. This was just a night out so I decided to do a soft smoky brown look for her. All in all I think it came out pretty good for an artist in the making.

Japonesque Set Bag and Melting lipsticks

I realized I needed a set bag to get myself more organized for school. The Japonesque Set Bag is amazing and it has so many pockets to organize all my bottles. I got this bag at Naimies Beauty Center and its a huge place. I thought Nigels was amazing Naimies is even better I have to admit. They carry all sorts of brands like NARS, MAC, Kryolan and much more.

Japonesque Pro Set Bag

Cost:30

Rating: 5 Stars

Inside the bag it has 2 large pockets on each side of bag.

On the outside of the bag it has 8 pockets. The ones on the side have velcro.
It has two handles and an attachable strap.


This was my first time melting lipsticks and as I thought the best way to melt them is to melt it over a candle on a metal spoon. Well...that wasn't a great idea and it was a huge awful mess.

--So here is my method of melting my lipsticks--

1. Chop off a piece of your lipstick and place it one of the slits of the palette

2. Get a Q-tip cut off one of the ends

3. Use the stick to puncture the lipstick and rub it back and forth. The resistance will cause the lipstick to melt in the slit and it will start to breakdown.
4. Try to spread the lipstick out evenly and voila!!

5. Take the ends of the cotton swab and clean up around the slit =)

--First day of class--
It was a very long day but also exciting day for me. I never thought I would get tired of doing makeup on a person until that day. We practice, practice, practice on each others faces and I got to the point where I was pooped. That day I also realized that I needed to get more supplies for school which is totally burning a hole in my wallet. That night my sister took me out to eat at Cafe Bizou because of my first day of class they had delious Chicken Balsamic but their crab cakes were pretty bad let me tell ya.
