How to clean your makeup brushes…
Are you like a makeup freak like me? Well, I’m not that much of a freak but I love looking and purchasing make up! The colors of makeup are just too elegant. I put makeup on whenever I go out to somewhere but when I’m at home, I prefer not to have any makeup on. Did you know having makeup on is bad for your skin? That’s why when I’m home, I like my skin to feel fresh with no makeup.
But anyways, our topic today is “Cleaning your Makeup Brushes”. To tell you the truth – I hardly clean my brushes and yes I do feel disgusted in using them weeks after weeks, but you know, LAZINESS takes over. A month later, here I am cleaning them because I couldn’t take the look of them anymore…
Now it’s all clean. Remember to lay them flat after you clean them.
You want the steps in cleaning? Or your question may be, where did I learn it? Just from the video below! It will tell you all. Michelle Phun is very talented in makeup and I love watching her tutorials. Enjoy ladies! Or maybe gentlemen too? LOL
Affordable Nursing Scrubs
Let me tell you guys all a secret, well my online friends of course! Because you guys never seen me in person before but if you have, you’ll know I have braces. Have you all notice that? I doubt it because I hardly take pictures with my mouth open. Wasn’t that a surprise to you? I’ve had braces for about three years now and I cannot wait to take them off I tell you! Going to the orthodontist once a month can be quite frustrating. If the assistant were wearing more colorful Nursing Scrubs, it would make the environment more unique I tell you.
You should definitely check out this website I found. They have the most affordable and colorful Scrub Tops and is made professionally with care. Most importantly, its durable, comfortable and they give the highest quality. If you order from them and something was just not right to your standard, you can simply return it within 30 days of time and they will return you the full payment back. Even with any concerns, they have the best customer service team to help you by e-mailing them through there website! Right now they are offering FREE shipping over $100.00 of purchase. What are you waiting for?
ELF aka EYES LIPS FACE 50% OFF STUDIO LINE
I received an email from Eyes Lips Face. I’ve ordered from them before but now they have a better line called “The studio line”. I’ve heard a lot of good reviews about it and the make up are inexpensive! With the 50% off studio line, my eyes went shiny. How can I resist? 50% off!! I made my order with less than 10minutes, after making the order, I think to myself…. Did I only take 10minutes? I didn’t even look through the items again.. That’s how crazy I was. I bought about 25items in 10minutes of time. Good thing the Fiance doesn’t know about it. All he knows is, I used his credit card for it and the amount of money. Are you interested? The deal ends June 21st 2010! Grab it quick with the code EGSTUD.
more pictures when I receive my package and reviews on it too 
Organizing Ikea Vanity Table
I got my vanity table from a gift that my Fiance got me as I think it was either for Christmas or an anniversary of ours. He bought me the table from Ikea and of course I picked it too This table is very elegant. There’s also a bigger version of it but too bad they don’t sell it anymore. Anyways, all I need a vanity table for is to organize the chunk of makeup I have.
Look how messy it is eh? I came back for almost a month and I never really clean it. Disgusting eh? I wanted to change the whole area up and moving the vanity to another area. Guess where I moved it ???
Messy huh?!?
Yes to this place instead. The other side of our room.
TA DA! Moved everything and organize everything!
A close up of the table. The brushes is for another post Come back to check out what I did with it!!
Used the wall shelf for the extra stuff.
You see, I don’t clean a lot but when I feel like cleaning, I want everything to be neat and tidy with no dust too. I also find myself very weird at times. When I look at something for a long time, I get bored of it. This is one of the reasons why I like to move things around the house or change things. Even bed sheets, I like to have a few sets to change around. Are you like me? Love moving furniture?
TVB Drama Addictions… All TVB dramas in 2010
Are you a TVB drama lover like I am? I love watching dramas and only TVB dramas. I don’t even watch those American shows or even Canadian shows. I believe the reason why is, I know the Chinese characters a lot better than the Americans characters. The only shows I watch are the reality shows on TV. How boring can my life be eh? If I finish watching my newest daily shows they air each day, I go to the older shows I watched before. I am crazy, don’t you think?
We’re half done 2010 already!! And guess how many new dramas came out this year already? Can you guess? No need for the brain work, here’s the list of the dramas I’ve watched of late and already!
- The Season of Fate 五味人生
- Cupid Stupid 戀愛星求人
- Don Juan DeMercado 情人眼裏高一D
- My Better Half 老公萬歲
- In the Eye of the Beholder- 秋香怒點唐伯虎
- A Fistful of Stances 鐵馬尋橋
- Suspect in Love 搜下留情
- Fly with Me 飛女正傳
- OL Supreme 女王辦公室
- Sisters of Pearl 掌上明珠
- Mysteries of Love 談情說案
- Ghost Writer 蒲松龄
- Someday 天天天晴
Holy Smokes, never thought I watched that many series of drama already! I guess there another 13 more to go since there’s half a year left. Did you guys enjoy any of these?? For me, the one that stands out for me is Sisters of Pearl the most, but the Mysteries of Love is also the one that I’m more excited about now!! What about you? What is your favorite drama so far ???
My lease favorite – I have to say is Fly with Me. I find it a waste of time watching. Don’t get me wrong – I know they spent a lot of time and effort into this drama. It’s only my opinion okay – don’t be offended. But I dislike the storyline they had. What was your least favorite? Comment below to let me know!!
Touring Toronto…
Yes, I’m like going on a tour today! Just joking but it sure does seem like it !! If you didn’t check out the things I’m selling on my business website, do check it out! I have over 100 items there. CharmofLove is the site !! I’ll be meeting a bunch of girls today all around the subway line. Doesn’t it sound like I’m touring Toronto already? It’s an hassle having this so-call online duty because it’s so hard to arrange meet ups with everyone. They want my items but some can be living as far as Pickering. I do mailing, but some don’t have Paypal. Than what more can I do? *Slaps Forehead*Just prays everyone shows up to there meet up location and that will make me super happy today! *Cross fingers*
Here’s some of the photos I print screen from facebook!
cell phone/ accessory stickers && false nails
Nail decorations && cell phone/ accessory stickers
These are just an example of it! There’s more different other itemes! Do add me on my CharmofLove facebook and view the pictures and prices if your interested.
This is not an income provider for me, definitely not! But for the meantime, since I have so much time on my hands. Why not? I need to get rid of most of these stuff or else it’ll be lying around at home for not much use. Don’t you agree?
Wedding Dresses
If you follow my blog, you would know that I’ll be getting marry with the man of my life next July! & Yes I got my wedding dress already and you must think I’m crazy or something because it’s a year later… Planning ahead is better than later right? I’m glad I made the decisions of it earlier because I’m already having nightmares of it already.
I’m happy that my Fiance and my values and expectations are quite alike. We don’t need an over-the-top weddings because people say it’s once a life time thing. To us, SIMPLE and AFFORDABLE is what we really want. As less steps is what I ask for too. I always enjoyed planning parties and events but boy this wedding is different. There’s more planning involved and I’m already getting headaches from it! Sometimes we would say “Why don’t we just go to Las Vegas and do the drive thru instead of doing a big show that will cost us nearly 40grand?” We can go on how many vacations or even get how many Louis Vuitton bags with that 40grand? More than you can count! But I guess we’re doing this for our family. Our loving family.
Here’s the place I went to pick out my wedding dress…
The place is call “LOVE & LOVE”. I believe there dresses are made in Shanghai.
dresses…
more dresses…
dozens of dresses…
Believe it or not, I’ve tried dozens of dresses and went to about 10 stores to finally chose the design I like. But no pictures for you yet till that day is over! 
Choosing the wedding dress was such a headache I tell you! It’s just simply going back and forth to the shop to see which one you really want and you can’t take pictures of the dress was like driving me nuts. When you chose your dress, than you’ll understand what I went through
What is next on the list anyways? The photo shoots? or looking for a MC? More headaches…
Dealing with fever and headaches.
Since last night, I caught a fever of 103 degrees and I was shaking like mad for an hour or so. It felt – let’s just say “HORRIBLE”. After taking Tynol, I could finally fall asleep and stop shaking while sleeping. I don’t really remember going through this!! Well yes, I do get fevers but not with the shaking body parts.
Right now, I still have a fever of 101degree but I need to be doing something because I’ve slept for about 15hours already and my body feels – lack of energy. I drank Pepsi (which I’m not suppose to drink pop or cold beverages due to health issues), I did anyways to have a bit energy back. Now I’m just lying on the couch typing this entry/watch FIFA world cup! Totally not a fan, but the TV is on. hahaha Which team do you think it’s going to win?? My Fiance picked England over USA. For myself, I’ll pick the same and believe my Fiances’ choices Comment below to tell me which team your voting for!!

Laneige Skin Care Products
Ever since I’ve gone back to China, my skin has been so dry! Nearly dry every day even when applying Laneige skin care doesn’t help! This product is suppose to help me with my dry skin!!! Apparently it’s not working! I wonder whys that?!? Or maybe I should try to apply it again every day to see if it works! Any recommendation for a new skin care product ladies? I need all your help! Please comment below! Thanks
Laneige skin care is not on the high end but fairly on the mid-range area! it’s an Korean brand and a set of these costs about $200+. I really don’t know what else would help with the dry skin I have. Comment!!!
China’s Metro System VS TTC Subways
I don’t think I should have anything to say! The pictures will do the talking for me. Comment below to tell me what you guys think alright?
Most of the stations have escalators and there’s always someone cleaning them.
Not very clear, but look at that shiny floor!
Token Machines are provided at all the stations
The place where you enter. One way only, if you want to get out, you gotta find the right way.
When the trains arrive, the glass sliding door will open. I have to say, the glass sliding door is the best idea to prevent accidents/suicides.They even have LCD TV in each station to tell you news and what time the train will be arriving next!
SPOTLESS!
What more can I say? Comparing to TTC. TTC is nothing! Absolutely nothing. With the efficiency and cleanliness they have. I have to give it a 10 out of 10 for China’s Metro System. Why can’t our city have better subway systems? I mean, COMON work on the cleanliness part at least! They need to hire more people to work on this!!! What do you guys think??
