Anti Acne Starter Kit Update

Hello!

[Slappin]
Korn: Right Now

So, I just wanted to give you all a little update. The question you all probably want answered is "Does it work?" Well, for me I think that it's starting to work. My skin isn't bad or anything, but I seem to have pimples around my cheek area. I have tried many products and this was my last hope. I can't afford to be spending an arm and a leg for acne products, because they are not cheap. Feel me? So, I see that my skin is getting better. The acne is starting to minimize on my cheeks. YAY! My bestfriend even commented that my skin looks better. I thought to myself finally, because I should have acne issues in highschool and not now. Well, I guess everything happens for a reason and it's getting minimized. YAY! This kit advises you to use it once or twice a day. I have been using it once and it has been okay for me. So, its all on you what you'd like to do.



Likes:

1. The packaging is handy, because each product has it's own area.

2. A little goes a long way so you will have enough for the 30 days.

3. I'm seeing results and it's only week two.

4. The box said it was a $60 and it was only $30. Good deal, yeah?



Dislikes:

1. If you don't wait for each product to dry then your skin will start to sting. So, ladies and gents be patient! Let the product set on your face.

2. A picture or two could have been included in the packaging of people that saw results.



**This kit can be found at Bath and Body Works**




I will update you again in two more weeks. Maybe I'll even show you how my cheeks look.

Have a good night and good luck!

Take care and God Bless.

Get YO read on!

Hi there blog world!

Bored? Want to collect something new? Love make-up? Want something new to read?

Well, if you answered yes to one of the following above, all of you should really check out Bobby Brown Makeup Manuel. I came across this book when I went Barns N Noble. I was like I'll just check it out and see what information this book has. Bobby Brown, really explains everything from your face to makeup application. So, since I'm getting really into makeup I decided to start collecting makeup books.

Likes:
1. I like the fact that this book is hard back, so it can be in my collection for years to come.
2. I like that Bobby Brown really explained each chapter in detail.
3. I LOVE the pictures, because I'm more of a visual learner. If I see something then I can pick it up faster and the pictures help me with that.
4. I LOVE how Bobby Brown made this book for all different levels to beginners and MUAs.





Dislikes:
1. I wish the book was longer. haha.. I wanted to learn more.



Wow, I only have one dislike. That is DOPE SAUCE!





Here are some pictures, just incase you are interested.

Did you know that MAC was founded by two white guys from Canada?? I was like hmmmm.. right on.. =] Well, I hope like this book.

Take care and God Bless!

40 LE E/S Set

Whud it do, boo?

Here is my take on the Flirt Cosmetics Pallette. I purchased this in December 08 at Kohls.


Here is what the Pallette looks like closed.









Here is what it looks like opened.








I'm not sure if they still have this at Kohls, but you can check. If you don't know what a Kohls is, it's similar to a Ross or TJMAXX.



Likes:

1. The colors last all day, but don't forget to have on your handy dandy e/s base.

2. The colors are easy to blend.

3. If you are starting out with make-up or don't want to pay an arm and a leg for e/s then this pallette is for you.





Dislikes:

1. Some of the e/s can slip out of place. (All of them aren't glued into the plastic.)

2. There is a little bit of fall out.

3. The packaging isn't that sturdy, because its plastic. So, if you plan on traveling with this pallette I suggest you put the shadows in another pallette. (MAC pallette, etc.)



FYI: I did a look using this pallettee in my 9.FIVE post.



Now, I need to get on the rest of my day.



PEACE.

LOVE.

First Haulage of 09

Hiyee!

Did you guys get any goodies from the Bath and Body Works sale? If you did then YAY, but if you didn't the sale ended last Sunday. Well, I didn't know about it until I watched one of Lepooke's haul videos on youtube. If you haven't checked her out, you should. She has some DOPE SAUCE videos. Anyhoo, when I heard they were having 75% off and their make-up was 90% off I had to think twice. I didn't really want to get anything, because I'm saving my money for the Hello Kitty MAC collection. Then I thought to myself you can't beat deals like that. So, I decided to check it out. I got a few things.

I wanted to get some body sprays and anti-bacterial hand soap. Then I got a few lip stuffz. The make-up was practically gone, but I'm glad I got a few things. I'm not really a lip product kind of woman, but I wanted to try these out because the packaging was cute and they weren't expensive. Then I came across their "Anti-Acne Starter Kit". I am still working on my dream of having flawless skin. Hopefully, this works because having acne in my twenties is not the BIDNASS! I think I'll do a review on it too. Just incase you loves out there have an acne issue too. I'm praying that this works for my sensitive skin.

All the stuff I got :







The Lip products







The "Anti-Acne Starter Kit"






Hope all of you purchased some goodies too. *smiles*



Stay blessed!

9.FIVE

Whud it do, boo?

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Wednesday!

Anyhoo, I haven't been wearing make-up lately. Well, I have but it has been my everyday look. You know blush, eyeliner, mascara, and gloss. You females feel me? Then I started feeling bad, because all of this make-up is just sitting there and catching dust. So, I found a reason to wear make-up yesterday. My bff and I decided to have dinner together. We haven't seen each other in months and we haven't exchanged Christmas gifts. I decided to go pretty casual with my ensemble, but I tried something different with my eyes.

I was looking in my closet yesterday and I realized that I haven't used my JORDANS in such a long time. So, a thought went into my head that I should use them. Plus, it was sunny outside and I was not about to use them if it was raining. TRUST THAT! The Jordans were white, light blue, black, and gray. I decided to use light blue, greenish blue, black and gray. I used my new Flirt Cosmetics pallette. I'm pretty much diggin' it.

THEEEE inspiration:




So, here is what I came up with.










Here is another picture, but with both eyes.




Hope you all dig it. Tell me what you think.










One more thing..

Here is what my bff got me for Christmas 08. Just incase you were wondering. *smiles* All of you and yo mama have probably seen these, but just incase you haven't here they are. YAY another traveling set of brushes. I love them too, because they are green.









One of my favorite brushes the 187SE. Sorry, it's kind of blurry but yall get the picture.








I'll be posting a few more posts today. So, watch out for that.

Gran Torino

Good morning gorgeous!


**This is a short movie review**


Have you seen Gran Torino yet? If you haven't you need to see it! OHEMGEE! I think this is the best movie I have seen so far for 09. Clint Eastwood did an AMAZING job! This movie made me cry and laugh at the same time. It made me happy to see Asians portrayed in a movie.
I remember I took a media class a couple of years ago and we discussed how Asians aren't really seen in the media. Now, they are coming up and getting to be seen. That is such a beautiful thing to see.


I loved how realistic that movie was and I liked how the Hmong culture was shown. They didn't just touch the surface of their culture, but it was more in depth. I even learned something new too. I didn't know Hmong people originated from Thailand, Laos, and China. I think the main Hmong actor and actress did a great job. This movie is great for men and women. Ladies, you can ask your boo la la if he wants to see it. *smiles* I saw a lot of men in the movie theatre with their loves.



At the end, it was total waterworks for me. Thank goodness my eyeliner on my waterline didn't smudge. Thanks to good ol' MAC for that. =p





Now, I can't wait for this movie to come out on HD. I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did.

Happy movie watching and have a blessed day.


Come back and look for upcoming make-up/fashion posts. *smiles*

Cravin skittles now

Hey there!

This will be one of my random posts.

Have any of you seen the latest skittles commercial? Well, if you haven't an Asian and Filipino man are on there. I had to do a double take when I saw it. (You know when you have to look at something twice.) I wasn't paying attention until I heard something familiar to me.

I thought it was a pretty DOPE SAUCE commercial. It feels good to have the media aknowledge an Asian and Filipino man.

If you haven't seen it you should go check it out. MOS DEF!

Enjoy!
