The Wash-In Treatment also leaves behind powerful medicine to help keep pores clean. Learn more and purchase at XOut.com. X Out is sold as a 30-day supply and comes with a bonus Shine Control product to help you fight oil all day for $19.95</span> "<br /><br />I tried out this product once on my face, and so far, the results are positive. My skin felt a bit clearer after using it and my face didn't feel as clogged up as before. I also really like how this product can be used 3 different ways: as a wash, as a mask, and as a spot treatment. Imagine, a miracle product that has a 3 in 1 capacity!<br /><br />This definitely meets my stamp of approval. 4/5Grace Wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17286713826919277354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906144504391827665.post-24280863116120759582011-12-23T19:45:00.001-08:002011-12-23T19:51:06.656-08:00Montagne Jeunesse<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2a4gaQGdT9144UbSKKpNEouzrX0N-fguBBXGBr4NnFfj0cWYB3jOVQyJXNyN9NkwQyiS0nrD127WicF3B6bGWrBDkgPyT6iGpGGysdnv4LlUukbseNjlRif0hmnz58aYoDTRs8sRD/s1600/IMG_0055.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2a4gaQGdT9144UbSKKpNEouzrX0N-fguBBXGBr4NnFfj0cWYB3jOVQyJXNyN9NkwQyiS0nrD127WicF3B6bGWrBDkgPyT6iGpGGysdnv4LlUukbseNjlRif0hmnz58aYoDTRs8sRD/s320/IMG_0055.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689537401729707042" /></a><br /><br />Last week, I received my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster, a cool site where you can be the first to try out new products and spread the word.

Not only are the products safer, but they're also a lot cheaper!<br /><br />So long story short, I did a MUA swap with the owner of an Etsy shop called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/backtotheearth">Back to the Earth</a> (linked for those interested) All of their makeup is vegan, natural and organic.<br /><br />I got the 5pc deal, where it only costs $12 for 5 eyeshadows of your choice (I got them free though, since it was a swap) and I have to say, I was really impressed with the pigmentation!<br /><br />Here's what I got:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cytpQ4w-Hw5FeDnVWLgB2ENjodRXkvQYjQ9J0N8sVMCqobMEbYq5CG5Ssjk9tmkY4mUc8pEOYmTb2jRRYzwzLYo2V9CZsAUMYqsArQpEYOQGn4txeAEgoKpkjTpXZp_oCFDFncKM/s1600/Picture+784.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 304px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cytpQ4w-Hw5FeDnVWLgB2ENjodRXkvQYjQ9J0N8sVMCqobMEbYq5CG5Ssjk9tmkY4mUc8pEOYmTb2jRRYzwzLYo2V9CZsAUMYqsArQpEYOQGn4txeAEgoKpkjTpXZp_oCFDFncKM/s400/Picture+784.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565912182557557138" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Illuminated</span> <br />This is probably my favorite of the bunch.

<br />
<br />A while ago, I won a $25 Apothica Gift Card from Liza Mae and I finally received my shipment yesterday! (also ordered some perfume, but they were shipped separately)
<br />
<br />Recently, I've been obsessing over Paul and Joe's adorable makeup, so I had to try out their stuff! I bought the <span style="font-weight:bold;">(Pink) Classical Nail Polish</span> from the Holiday 2010 Symphony Collection and I am totally in love with it!
<br />
<br />Wow, just look at that gorgeous packaging!
<br />I think Paul and Joe's makeup is definitely worth it. Especially since they're made in Japan. ;P
<br />
<br />Here's a close up:
<br />

<br />
<br />It's a bit hard to tell, but there are tiny hints of gold shimmer mixed into the pink. A really lovely shade.
<br />
<br />The bottom line is, you have to try out Paul and Joe for yourself! They definitely have my approval. :)

<br />You might not know this, but I actually have a love for Visual Kei, which is a style of Japanese music. I love it so much that pretty much 95% of the songs in my mp3 are specifically visual kei. I don't know what it is, but the music, fashion style, and just the connection between the audience and the bands, everything about vkei just draws me in. Yep, I've got a ton of posters for various bands on my wall!
<br />
<br />That's why when I won these two Alice Nine CD's from Kawaii Kawaii Sugoi Blog, I was happy beyond words. Although I don't really listen to that band much anymore(became mainstream), I still stay faithful to them because Alice Nine was the first that really got me hooked to Visual Kei. You could say that it changed my whole perspective on life.

<br />That was just a little something I wanted to share to you guys, since I feel really lonely being the only one in my school interested in vkei. Just trying to spread the love. :)
<br />
<br />Anyways, here's what else I got:

<br />
<br />Got these in 3 Separate swaps:
<br />-Kose Esprique Precious Liquid Eyecolor Stylish in BL900 (omg, gorgeous! I have to show you sometime!)
<br />-NARS Orgasm Illuminator Sample (first NARS product!)
<br />
<br />-benefit BADgal lash Mini Mascara
<br />-Lancome Le Secret Sample Eye Powder (holy crap, best color EVER!!! Scroll down for swatch)
<br />
<br />-MAC Pink Opal Sample
<br />-MAC Quick Frost Sample
<br />-MAC Pink Pigment Sample (IDK the name)
<br />I love MAC, but I can never afford it! Luckily, pigment samples are a lot cheaper and you get to experiment with more colors. :)

<br />Also, I stopped by Chinatown last week and discovered a tiny store that sold phone straps for insanely cheap. I got 4 for $5, what a steal! If you didn't know already, I have an obsession with kawaii phone straps and my collection is always expanding!
<br />
<br />
<br />As promised, here's Lancome Le Secret (layered over stila smudge pot violet):

<br />
<br />AMAZING RIGHT? It's sort of like a mermaid kind of color, you get what I mean?
<br />Wow, I think I might even buy the full product in the future!
<br />
<br />I haven't experimented this with other colors yet, but I'm looking forward to it. xD
<br />
<br />Have a great weekend everybody! It's difficult to blog when I also have 3 tests next week, homework, and fencing practice 3 times a week, but I'm trying!

Period.<br /><br />Originally, I was planning to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving with a new NOTD, but I did not see this "design" coming. Since I felt like trying to master Konad stamping, I didn't think it would be so bad. Turns out I was wrong.<br /><br />After hours of waiting for my nails to dry, frustrating smudges, and uneven result, I gave up trying.

I'm such a visual kei fanatic! Anyways, I hope it's going to be really fun.

About a couple months ago, I found out from a source that the big stars like Lee Hyori, Beast, Kara, etc were performing and I was set to go there, but as the date came closer, all of them withdrew and now they're left with stars like Son Dambi, Brian Kim, and Nora Jo. Honestly speaking, I don't care the least bit about these singers, but since I'm already going to NYAF, I thought that I might as well go just for the sake of it.<br /><br />Seriously though, I blame the people who decided to release the official flyer a week before the real deal.<br />Even if you search it online, most sources are still talking about the original lineup. :/<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbus4g1sVjE8spkPJ1NUtZHQX5zVNifoeVCzviYdxO8dxzFTc-WJ_uoF0JlhhgowdBp3R3HaKueIPj0-ezn-TJ1cxPlz6xoX71qP3wp-n4yHUk1yeCUn-fZv0xkhYZfpz8-6cWr0HB/s1600/POSTER_Final.jpg.resize.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 376px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbus4g1sVjE8spkPJ1NUtZHQX5zVNifoeVCzviYdxO8dxzFTc-WJ_uoF0JlhhgowdBp3R3HaKueIPj0-ezn-TJ1cxPlz6xoX71qP3wp-n4yHUk1yeCUn-fZv0xkhYZfpz8-6cWr0HB/s400/POSTER_Final.jpg.resize.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526048271994360146" /></a><br /><br />Thats all for now, happy long weekend! :DGrace Wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17286713826919277354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906144504391827665.post-30531588365768513962010-10-02T17:07:00.000-07:002010-10-04T21:34:55.959-07:00♥ A Newbie's Guide to Lolita ♥ (lot's of great links!)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTG3NZ42y5C2iOxnx167Wr02TuxywIMXvGyvjoLzkckJMcfQcFCMHWzjs6Q14Maxjn96EXzuco7csvh2JJyq3Oj0oaALAX-eph3t3sdtrOIIju9qvG84SqviC2NCB9-7Q3xpABeI9r/s1600/610x.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 332px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTG3NZ42y5C2iOxnx167Wr02TuxywIMXvGyvjoLzkckJMcfQcFCMHWzjs6Q14Maxjn96EXzuco7csvh2JJyq3Oj0oaALAX-eph3t3sdtrOIIju9qvG84SqviC2NCB9-7Q3xpABeI9r/s400/610x.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523658683722792930" /></a><br />It seems as if I've been getting a few lolita interested readers, so I thought I might as well make another post for lolita. I'd also like to give a little intro on it, since many newbies tend to get mixed up between all the amazing fashion styles which Japan has to offer. ;D<br /><br />First of all, I'm not an expert on lolita or anything, I'm just a girl who likes dressing up in this style. All of this is just based on my own knowledge. :) If I said anything incorrect, please note it to me so that I can change it! <br /><br />Basically though, lolita is a style of Japanese fashion that is based on the Victorian era (you know, those fancy, poofy dresses and stuff). A typical lolita outfit might include a <span style="font-weight:bold;">onepiece (OP)</span> - an all around dress, <span style="font-weight:bold;">jumperskirt (JSK)</span> - basically an OP without sleeves, a skirt, a<span style="font-weight:bold;"> blouse or cutsew</span> (casual top), <span style="font-weight:bold;">headbow/headdress/hat</span>, <span style="font-weight:bold;">socks</span>, <span style="font-weight:bold;">shoes</span>, and sometimes a <span style="font-weight:bold;">parasol</span>. <br /><br />That doesn't mean lolita is a very limited fashion, because there are an infinite amount of prints, styles, or coordinates you could dress up in. After you understand the basic concept and have a fair amount of lolita / like lolita clothes, it becomes fun!<br /><br /> ~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />If you'd like to know more about the fashion, here are some useful links:<br /><br /><a href="http://community.livejournal.com/egl/">Best Loli Comm EVER</a> - Basically THE community for lolita, where you can meet fellow lolitas, join an event, learn the fashion, diy + sewing, and anything else you want! (btw, I urge you to check out the memories section on the left side, it's amazing!)<br /><br /><a href="http://lolita-handbook.livejournal.com/">Lolita Handbook</a> (great if you want to delve more into the fashion)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lolitafashion.org/">Lolita Fashion</a> (another great site)<br /><br /> ~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Okay now, let's get to the fun part!<br /><br />There are lots of different sub-styles in lolita (and more to come), but the most common/popular ones are sweet, classical, gothic, punk, deco, and wa lolita. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sweet Lolita</span><br />Lots of pastels, frills, prints, and super cute!
