Rules: List 7 random things about yourself
Since I've already list many many MANY random things about myself in many of my previous posts, I thought I would change it up and do a tag: Would You Rather Beauty Edition that I found on YouTube here

Would You Rather Beauty Edition:
1. Would you rather walk around all day with you skirt tucked in your underwear or be seen wearing a really see through dress? I would definitely prefer be seen wearing a really see-through dress because it's less embarrassing and it could have been on purpose but if my skirt was tucked in my undies then that is just EMBARRASSING period. 

2. Would you rather go to a party and not realize until the end of the night that you have lipstick on your teeth or that your fake lashes are coming unglued? I think I rather have my lipstick on my teeth because I if I even do were lipstick they are all light colours not bright red or dark mauvy colours so it won't show up too much on my teeth PLUS I always cover my mouth when I laugh =D, no one will ever notice it ^^.


3. Would you rather forget to put mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face?I rather forget mascara on one eye because I have side swept bangs that can completely cover one eye ;). Also because I like to use eyeliner as well so it will still give the illusion that I have mascara on when I'm not!


4. Would you rather wear lipstick/lipliner combo or frosty blue eyeshadow?
I think I rather go with the lipstick and lip liner combo although I hate both lipliners and lipstick but like I said above I can always do a light colour lipstick and even with a clear lipliner ;) Frosty blue eyeshadow is way too noticeable for me.

5. Would you rather wear foundation that is two shades too light or go way overboard on bronzer?Woah this one is hard because I'm super picky abut my foundation shade AND not overdoing my bronzers =S I think I would choose to wear a foundation that is too light because I can over/hide my neck with my long hair so it wouldn't be as noticeable that my face is so much lighter than my neck PLUS I can warm up my face with blush if I can't use bronzer. I think if I overdo my bronzer I would look like I have a dirty face LOL


6. Would you rather drink an entire bottle of ketchup or run into the guy who broke your heart on a bad hair day when your skin is breaking out?
I think I rather run into my ex looking all bad than to harm my health and body with an entire bottle of ketchup. I don't really care what he thinks now, all I care is what my present Mister thinks =]. Thinking of drinking ketchup makes me shiver =S 

7. Would you rather be able to date any celeb you wanted or wake up with perfect red carpet-worthy hair?
I rather wake up with red carpet-worthy hair because dating a celebrity is way too complicated and not worth the heartbreak when they get bored of you and find someone else.

8. Would you rather your armpits smell musky or like delicious lasagna?
LOL wth is this? haha, I think I rather have it smell like delicious lasagna because others might think you had a delicious italian lunch and got all the smell stuck in your clothes.

9. Would you rather give up your makeup or cell phone for one year?
I would definitely give up makeup than my phone for a year! I am actually trying to heal my acne and acne scars just so I neverrrrrrr have to wear makeup (mostly face make up) ever again!! I'm already more comfortable with my skin and I haven't worn any makeup in so long (well except for summerlicious and other occasions but I haven't worn makeup on a regular basis like to school, work, grocery, casual meetings with friends, etc) =]

10. Would you rather run into a cute guy you like with food all in your grill(teeth) or no makeup at all?

Easy one, I'd go with no makeup because that's just how I look he should accept me the way I am but food in my teeth is soo nasty and no lady like. I think it's kinda embarrassing as well =S so no make up it is =D

I'm actually in a hurry to pack for North Carolina now so I would like to forward this to EVERYONE who reads my blog specially my 97 followers ^^ Thank you all for stopping by and leaving me a comment, I really appreciate it s2.

I know I'm like the worst blogger at updating my blog but you all know that I'm having some technical problems with blogger and I'm just not motivated to blog as often =P. Will be away for the next week or so, hopefully I will update my blog more often but I will be having my final papers and final exams soon time so we'll see how that goes.

Happy August Everyone =D

Nails x 3.5 + Blog Award s2!

Just sharing with you all some painted nails I've done for the couple of weeks. You can see how much my nails have grown during these past weeks because I like wearing the same coloured nails for a long time rather than always changing it up because I don't like removing the polishes with acetone. Such a big dilemma, I want to do different nail designs but I don't want to use nail polish remover them -_- how does that work? Do any of you know any other type of nail polish remover that are less harmful or even something natural?

Anyways let me start with one of my favourite!, A nude colour by REVLON called Gray Suede

Revlon-Gray Suede (3 coats)

Added some dots to one of the corners of my nails to change up the look in just a few minutes =]

China Glaze - Sexy in the City

This was done by one of my gf because we were bored, that's why I have no idea what colours/brands she used. I loved it when she helped me file my nails to get a better squared tip than my nails in the first picture above.

So my nails have grown a lot and every time I have long nails I would do a French manicure. Usually with the typical white or pearly colour but this time I've decided to do something different =]. I simply painted these on free handed (I didn't use tape or other helping equipments but feel free too if you want a more even and clean design)

Love this colour. China Glaze Agent Lavender. Applied one coat only!

One coat looks nice in real life but if you look at my nails under the light you can see that the polish isn't 100% opaque but I'm ok with that because under normal lighting it looks opaque and smooth =]

The colour should look a little bit more purple than baby blue, it's just that my camera won't pick up the true colour..sry!

As you can see, I'm a very simple girl. All the designs I made are simple, easy and quick to do. You can really see the deference between the designs my friend made and what I made =P. Let me know if you'd like to see more simple nail designs and which nail above did u like most? =P

MIA+UPDATE

Sorry, I have been MIA for a week now. It feels like I've been gone for a month or something but it's only been a week =]. But I wanted to keep you all updated as to why I haven't been posting anything lately and of course you all know it's because of summer school. I have been busy with 2 essays that were due last two weeks and now this coming up week I have 2 assignments and a midterm (June is just full of school work-not fun as all). A lot have happened to me lately and fortunately they are all good news(minus the assignments/essays/midterms LOL) =]. I know, I've gotten many comments on my last post that I haven't had a chance to reply you all, but I assure you that I have read every single one of them and that if I really do reply to them, you know that I would reply back with an entire paragraph s2 =], so don't think I'm ignoring you guys because I'm not! =]

But anyways, I wanted to let you know that last weekend or about a few days ago I was announced as one of the winners to Jessy's Giveaway!! How awesome is that?? I rarely win anything so I was sooo surprised that I actually won't her awesome giveaway. I will post on a separate post on what I won once I receive the package in the mail (hopefully soon but I don't know, Canada post is on strike right now so who knows how long I'd have to wait right? it's soo frustrating!).

Then I received my second blog award from Riya (I will also make a separate post on this =]) I was just surprised and honored that she thought of me when picking her few fellow bloggers to pass this award to and I was speechless to receive 2 blog awards within a week or two, where I seriously thought I would NEVER get any blog awards at all. So thank you Riya s2 and thank you Tiffo for my very first award =].

Then, I FINALLY got a new phone!!!!, I've been wanting a new phone since YEARS ago. I think you will all LAUGH AT ME when you find out what phone I used to have LOL but I'm so happy that I finally got an upgrade (Will make another post on what phone I got but if you guys check my "WISH LIST" tab above, you will see something crossed out =P. GUESS WHICH ONE? =]

And now, I'm looking into buying a DSLR camera, was looking at D5100 from Nikon but I don't know, What do you guys think? or should I stick to a digital camera for convenience =] if so then I was looking into the Samsung ST600 (Dual LCD)

VS.

Picture taken from http://www.samsung.com/us/photography/digital-cameras/EC-ST600ZBPBUS

I want both but this isn't the right time to buy these because I will soon be jobless because my current store are closing down by the end of July, oh btw I'm a sales person at a clothing boutique =]

Anyways, will soon be posting more often just bare with me during this month where I'm stuck with tons of school work. I appreciate all the love and support you all have given me even when I'm lacking in some new post. Btw, blogger is very laggy  right now, so I'm sorry for any spelling mistakes/grammars that you see, it's too laggy to edit!




Have a nice weekend everyone s2
