Update: May 23, 2011

I know I mentioned on my Facebook fan page & my Twitter that I would be out for awhile from Youtube, but somehow, I've miraculously overcome my recent serious health issue. Even though, I'm not 100% better, I'm getting there.

It's been really tiring & I've been through so much within the past week or so, that I don't even know where to begin. I'm not even sure if I can speak to the world about what exactly happened to me because it was such a shocking/life-changing situation.

Maybe one of these days, I will make a video blog about it. Haven't decided for sure yet, but I really do appreciate everyone's support & love. When I needed it the most, I found out who was really there for me as my friends, and I found out that maybe I hadn't found true love yet (even though I thought there was a possibility I had found someone special in my life).

Regardless, I do want to say that I'm grateful to be here each & every single day. Thank you everyone so much.

Growing Into a Better Person

I think that over the past year, I've grown & matured quite a bit. I've discovered many things about myself, most of which became clear to me through a couple of mistakes that I have made. However, I am a living human being. I am entitled to make mistakes. I'm not perfect, and I finally understand that now.

Being a Youtube guru has definitely opened my eyes to many new things. I felt like it was part of my growing process, and I learned so much from it. I think it was through the inspirational videos that led me to truly feel confident in myself, which I had never really felt before in reality.

No matter what I decide in the future, I know that I'll always be a part of this wonderful family of Youtube gurus. I feel as though that I have grown into a better person, and with so many of the guru friends I've met, each day has been even more blessed, so I wanted to thank all those wonderful friends/subbies that I've met through Youtube.

Sorry I've been on hiatus for awhile & would come back & make random videos. I think I will try and at least post 1 video every week or every two weeks (depending on my work load) rather than posting once every blue moon.

Thank ya'll so much for your support & kindness~

Happy Holidays!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays! Whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope you have an awesome day & spend the time with your loved ones, just as I am. This year has been a whirlwind, and I'm just surprised that it's almost time for a new year again.

So, recently, I had written an entry on my Luuux page in regards to being rejected by love. I know it may seem like a downer topic, but believe me when I say, the title is not what it seems. If ya'll would like to take the time to read my entry, I'm sure for many girls out there, you'd find the entry more uplifting than anything else. If you'd like to read it, please go to http://www.luuux.com/health-beauty/rejected-love?link=1

Normally, every year, I'd post a blog entry on stuff I like so that my friends would have an idea of what I like, without actually really asking for anything because I normally buy whatever I want.. haha. This year however, I did not post that entry, but that's because even though I bought gifts for some of my closest friends, I wasn't really expecting anything in return. I just wanted to do something for them.

I know I'm more of the giving type, and I don't mind that at all, but I know my birthday is coming up next month, and my friends will need ideas of what to get me. Maybe I'll post that on my Facebook or something. *shrugs*

Anywho, I hope everyone has a safe & happy holidays!!!

Neglecting My Blog

Yet again... *sigh* Sorry, guys. Haha. Been busy with work. I've also been posting more on Luuux rather than anything else, but again, I've just been busy working period.

I think I'm going to change this Blogger from a review blog to just blogs that I just want to write about. It can be about life, thoughts, makeup, Hello Kitty, etc.

I know I need to pick a winner for my Hello Kitty Makeup Inspired contest, and I will. I'm just waiting for my guest judges to pick a time to work with me on that, and I'll post the winner on my Facebook fan page.

Hope everyone has been well.

Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer Review

Recently, I made the switch from using Shiseido's Tinted Moisturizer to Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer.

I had been going back & forth between bb creams & Shiseido's Tinted Moisturizer, but came to a conclusion that since it's summer time, I don't want to use bb cream that's going to make my skin look more white. It doesn't match my skin color for the summer (especially since I got a tan now). :-P

So, I had been using more of the Shiseido tinted moisturizer, but I started noticing that my skin kept getting more & more oily throughout the day & it was making me crazy because my mascara was running more & I could feel myself starting to break out more because of it.

Normally, I'd say I'm a combination skin type, but I have oily skin, so the tinted moisturizer by Shiseido was not helping me whatsoever. Then, I came across a review on summer makeup in the sun and how it looks natural & beautiful, and the product used was Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer (which contains spf 20).

I made a quick visit to my local Sephora & got one right away to try. My first impression of it was very good. With only the tinted moisturizer (which was a shade or two darker than my skin tone because it makes my skin glow more because of the summer time. I got the shade nude.), I get a natural & dewy look, which I think looks really nice. I just take a little bit of the tinted moisturizer & dot it on my face and spread with my hands (make sure your hands are clean), and that's it~

At the same time, if I add a bit of powder over it (in this case, I used MAC's Studio Fix in NC30), my face looks really matte, but flawless. I really love it! Everyone has been commenting me on how my skin looks amazing & whether or not I'm in love or something because I'm glowing. Haha. But, it's not it... I think it's just the makeup. :-D

Maybe I'll do another makeup tutorial video & show how I use this product in the video. I already did a natural tutorial look. Maybe I'll do an everyday makeup routine video? We'll see.

*All products mentioned in this blog were opinions solely based on my own thoughts. I purchased the items myself. I am not paid to endorse any products, nor am I affiliated with any companies.*

Thanks for reading!

What is this feeling?

I rarely blog about my thoughts or feelings, but I've recently encountered a feeling that's just unexplainable.

Sometimes, people take life for granted, and at times, even take others for granted. I think I came to a realization that someone has become important in my life. Though nothing serious has become of it, it's still a nice feeling, and as much as I'd like to explore more into it, sometimes, it's best to keep things the way they are.

Maybe this blog isn't really making any sense to anyone... Believe me, I don't think I'm making much sense right now, but this is just something that's been on my mind. I've been battling with myself about what this is that I'm feeling at the moment, but the more I question myself, the more confused I just get.

Haha. I guess we'll just have to see what happens... :-) I always tell myself to look on the brighter side of things, and I definitely will.

P.S. I have a new update video on Koji on my youtube channel. Go check it out~ HERE

I was tagged by Lisa (xMaterialGirlsx)

Lisa (xMaterialGirlsx) tagged me & asked me some questions last month. Since I haven't been on blogger, I haven't had time to respond yet.

Here are the questions:
  1. What is your favourite thing to buy besides makeup?
  2. What is (are) on your wishlist right now?
  3. What do you love about blogger?
  4. What is your favourite/most recommended product(s)?
  5. What do you believe in?
  6. Share a beauty secret!
  7. What's your favourite sunscreen?
  8. Where would you like to visit one day?
Here are my answers:

1) My favorite thing to buy besides makeup would be Hello Kitty or bear-related items. I'm a huge Hello Kitty (HK) & bear fanatic (in case ya'll don't know yet... from my Youtube channel).



2) Items on my wishlist (at the moment):

A new laptop, a waterproof camera, 4minute's new CD



3) What do I love about blogger? It's a good way to share thoughts/feelings in a different method (other than being in front of a camera... like on Youtube) :-) It's also easier to maintain, though, I never really use it that often. Haha.

4) My favorite/most recommended product(s) is/are...

Baviphat Funky Look BB Cream #2



5) I believe in a Chinese saying that there are no ugly women out there in the world. There are only women who are lazy. The meaning behind this saying was that women who are lazy will not take care of themselves. If women take the time to take care of themselves, physically & mentally, and spend a little time on themselves, then they'll have more confidence.

6) Oh~~~ Let's see... The trick to looking pretty/beautiful is by applying makeup that looks natural, in other words... make it look like you're not wearing any makeup. My trick? I like using neutral colors for eyeshadows, soft pink/peach colors on my cheeks, and nude or pink colors on my lips. Another thing is that I use a brown color for my eyeliner to soften the look, rather than using black, which will make my eyes look more intense.

7) When I apply sunscreen on my face, it's usually in the tinted moisturizer or bb cream that I'm using. I don't apply it separately, unless I'm at the beach. If I'm at the beach, I don't wear makeup. I just spray sunblock on. :-P

8) I'd love to visit many places one day. I think Spain or France would be beautiful cities to go visit. I also think Japan would be amazing too! Japan is big in fashion & technology. I'd want to go visit places where people go to cosplay... :-D I'm such a nerd.. hehe.

Til next time!!!

Oh! Thanks, Lisa for tagging me!!! I don't know who to tag, so for those who want to, tag yourself & do this survey. If you do so, let me know, so I can read what you wrote. :-)
