Summer 2011 Dramas

screencap courtesy of dramabeans So, summer isn't quite over yet. It is only the end of August, but there are signs that fall is just around the corner. School has already started or is starting soon for those who are going back (I'm personally taking a semester off, so for me this means going back to a 9-5 day job). It is September 1st tomorrow, there is a certain...

Urban Decay 15-Year Anniversary Palette Swatches + Mini Review

As promised, I bring swatches of the Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary palette! When this first came out, I thought for sure that I would have issues getting my hands on it. One, it sold out ridiculously fast on the Urban Decay website. Two, I did not have the money to spend on makeup. Three, it's limited edition. Ahh, the woes of the broke university student who is slow on...

Urban Decay Naked Palette - Swatched and Reviewed

I originally was not planning on swatching this palette, since it's so ridiculously popular that it has been swatched a million times, and well. I am lazy. BUT, while talking makeup and pretty packaging with my friend Susan, she requested a swatch, so I figured why not? This blog needs more content (haha), and it is not like swatching is an all-day task or anything :p  So,...

Book Review: Cinderella Ate My Daughter

As previously mentioned, I made a trip to the library last week and picked up Patty Orenstein's book Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches From the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture. Originally, I was planning on reviewing ALL of the books that I picked up on that trip, but decided that I was too lazy, haha. So I chose this on out of the three that I picked...

Adventures in Vegan Cooking: Dubu Jorim (Korean)

I am far from being vegan. While not an avid carnivore, I definitely appreciate my meat, especially when it comes to Korean cuisine. Bulgogi, kalbi, dwaeji bokkeum... Korean bbq is seriously the best, and among some of my favourite foods. But there is still a part of me that is curious about "the other side," if you will. I am definitely not unwilling to forgo meat in meals,...

Luxe Box - August 2011

It is one of my favourite times of the month - my August Luxe Box is here! I was pleasantly surprised when I checked the tracking number today and found out that it was already out for delivery. Totally was not expecting it until Monday. Also kind of ironic that I received it today, considering that I had a dream last night that I received it, and woke up thinking "MAN, I...

Library Trip!

I came to the realization yesterday that I have been spending way too much time on my computer lately (watching dramas, aimlessly surfing the web, Facebook, Twitter... the list goes on), and not enough time doing other things or getting enough mental stimulation. So, today I took myself to the library, got myself a brand spankin' new library card, and checked out some books! The...

Song Spotlight - July

Even though this blog wasn't even in existence in July, I figured that I would cheat and make a "Song Spotlight" post for it anyway! Mostly because I have since moved on (somewhat) from constantly listening to this song, but feel that it is too freaking good to not share the love. Anyway, the song that I have chosen for this month's spotlight is by a Korean group called Sunny...

TAG: Would You Rather - Beauty Edition

This tag has been making its rounds among the beauty gurus on Youtube. Since I need to bring this blog to life and get more content up here, I figured I would answer it here! The Questions: 1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows? 2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again? 3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek? 4.) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup? 5.) Would you rather apply...

First Post! Beauty on a Budget

So, this would be my first post on my brand spankin' new blog. How do I feel? Uncertain. I have been wanting to start a beauty blog for awhile, but considering my track record with blogging, I am not so good with updating. Even my personal blog; I used to be so good at updating it with boring, everyday crap that nobody except the most loyal of followers want to read, but...
