Burt's Bees | Kissable Color, Cool Collection

Short Review for the Burt's Bees Kissable Color, which I purchased in USA in the past Christmas.

Makeup Revolution | I Heart Makeup Blushing Hearts Triple Baked Blusher

Have been gone for 3 months, so many blog posts drafted but not published ><
Have started work for over a month, starting to get a balance between work and blogging~
I have been updating the two Instagram accounts lately frequently~

I bought these blushers all because of the packaging, which is killing me LOL

Makeup Revolution | Rose Gold Lipsticks

It has been a while for me to write a blogpost! :P
I have just graduated and went to a few trips, traveling blog posts will be up ASAP :)
Time for some lipsticks review again~
Such a lipstick junkie same as Jacq XP
(Actually I considered myself eyeshadow/palette junkie too /^\)

好耐無寫部落格:P
呢個月去咗旅行，就快會寫旅遊部落格:D
我今次又係寫唇膏XP
你地有咩想我寫就comment啦;D

Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks

Beauty Blender Dupe? | Real Techniques, Makeup Revolution, AOA Studio

After watching EmilyNoel83's video on the top 5 bottom 5 beauty sponge, I am really tempted to finish writing this blog post! ><
Over the past few months, I have been crazily drunk in online shopping.
I have purchased quite a few beauty sponges, which either the company claims it being comparable to the Beauty Blender or the users reviewed them being a dupe for the Beauty Blender.
The most exciting part is all the sponges I purchased, will increase in mass after being damped. B|

想寫呢篇部落格好耐，睇完emilynoel嘅youtube片，完完全全有動力寫完佢 B)
因為我買嘅平版化妝綿全部都會濕水變大，完全同佢top5嘅共通點一樣！！！

~~~~~Little Sneak Peek of the Dupes~~~~~

The most 'comparable' sponges in market? :)

L'Oréal Paris | Infallible Pro Matte Gloss

Have been busy for the graduation drama performance :P
But still managed to get some updates at Instagram @shopaholiconbudget and @swatchsquad
Guess I should review on the L'Oréal Pro Matte Gloss too, as I have reviewed the Revlon ones
They are quite similar to be honest, but I like this better because of the applicator having a sharp tip for easier application~

係時候有寫下部落格:P
上次係Revlon今次係L'Oréal B|
佢地上咀嘅感覺好似，但我鍾意L'Oréal呢個applicator多啲，因為佢有個尖頭好容易搽～

L to R: 300 Blushing Ambition, 302 Fuchsia Amnesia, 304 Rebel Rose, 306 Aphrodite Kiss, 308 Shanghai Scarlet 

L to R: 310 Forbidden Kiss, 312 Rouge Envy, 314 Nude Allude, 316 Statement Nude, 318 Bare Attraction

Revlon | Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor

I have been very busy with my school work lately, so I didn't manage to blog frequently~
So I have opened an Instagram account for more frequent update for makeup related stuff (ig: @shopaholiconbudget)
Jacq's computer is certified and she is busy nursing two monsters/angels
So she can't really blog~
But she and I opened an Instagram account together to share swatches and some HK makeup news hopefully~ (ig: @swatchsquad)

最近太忙所以無乜寫blog～我開咗個ig: @shopaholiconbudget 會更新得密過個部落格少少:P
Jacq嘅電腦正式宣告死亡，所以佢打唔到blog～
我同佢開咗個ig: ＠swatchsquad 主要分享啲試色圖，希望可以分享啲香港化妝品資訊添 :D

Time for an update on the US makeup haul :P

L to R: 600 Devotion, 605 Obsession, 610 Addiction, 615 Temptation

L to R: 620 Flirtation, 625 Love, 630 Seduction, 635 Passion

Ofra Cosmetics Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks

Another purchase due to recent obsession of YouTube :P
Have been loving Kathleenlights videos just because she has beautiful green eyes which I don't have and the huge lids for different shadows :D
Purchased some Ofra Liquid Lipsticks because she has a collab with them~
And I made use of her 30%off code~ Really regretting I didn't use the deal 40%off earlier TOT

1st Colourpop Haul | 第一輪Colourpop戰利品 (with SWATCHES)

Colourpop is an affordable brand and all products made in Los Angeles (USA)

第一次美國網購，可以去IG:pigsmustsee睇吓～佢地有做代購～

因為太多YouTuber講Colourpop又平又好用，所以完全忍唔到手買啲番黎試吓:P

2015 Winter America Trip Day 12 | 聖誕美國之旅 第十二日

Day 12 第十二日 (5 Jan 2016)

We left the hotel by 07:30 for earlier arrival and allow us some time for returning the car.
We did have breakfast at the hotel before leaving and it cost US$8@ --> $17.28 with tax
Then we got to the post office for mailing the postcards~
And got our car refilled :D

我地計劃好朝早七點半就要開車離開酒店
等我地唔洗好次幾日前去拉斯維加斯咁趕!!! ;)
我地係酒店食完貴早餐之後就出發 ;P
去咗郵局寄明信片之後就入油～

HEAVY RAIN@@

We then went to Jack in the Box to redeem our taco we got from the Lakers game~ :P

After that we returned the car to Alamo, I asked if anyone found a pair of sunglasses again, still a "no". ;(

It comes to an end for our amazing trip~ Sadly ;(

We headed to LAX and got on our plane.  Due to the heavy rain, the flight was delayed for almost 2 hours with us sitting inside the plane!!!!@@

之後我地去咗Jack-in-the-Box換免費Taco :P

還車嘅時候我再去問咗一次有無人執到太陽眼鏡，但都係無 ;(

旅程要完結lu....係有啲唔捨得～去到機場，check in就上機～

但估唔到太大雨，架機係地面delay咗2個鐘＠＠

Just sharing some tips and photos down here :P

Remember to go checkout these newsletter at the door of each drugstore to search for deals~

Get yourself a rewards card using a phone number to register~

You just need an email address for Sephora VIB card~

This is the 'souvenir' I got from Stratosphere, as they said they will throw away the room keys anyway after one use~

Got this hand band coz I don't have the rewards card~

Til next time!! (^o^)/

P.S. HAULS are coming real soon~!!!!!!

2015 Winter America Trip Day 11 | 聖誕美國之旅 第十一日 Part 1

Day 11 第十一日 (4 Jan 2016)

We had some cereal for breakfast this morning and left Jack's house~
Then we went to Walgreens and Rite Aid nearby to return the identical palettes I bought the other day._.
And I did manage to find some more goodies on my purchase list B)
(These two drugstores are having the most stock compared to the other ones I visited these few days ><)
We then went to refill some gasoline~
Then we started our Disney journey XD

我地食咗啲cereal做早餐就離開咗Jack屋企～
之後去咗附近嘅Walgreens同Rite Aid
因為我要退番我尋日買多咗嘅眼影盒....
雖然晒咗啲時間，但我又搵到啲我購物清單上面嘅野B)
(發現呢兩間係咁多日以黎最齊貨嘅藥房＞＜)
入完油就開始我地奇妙嘅一日XD

Following is photo sharing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 相片分享~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2015 Winter America Trip Day 8 | 聖誕美國之旅 第八日

Day 8 第八日 (1 Jan 2016)

We had our flight early in the morning and we got on our airport shuttle at around 7am
Glad that we have no delays and all the things went smooth~
Also, Vegas was way too cold, thus I was really happy to leave this freezing place :P

因為搭早機，所以我地七點就上咗機場巴士
好彩所有野都好順利又無延誤～
但拉斯維加斯實在太凍所以好開心終於唔洗著5件衫＞。＜

First Checkpoint: LAS 第一站：麥卡倫國際機場

Snapchat filter again~

Breakfast :D (K sitting there impatiently, waiting for me to finish taking photo :P)

Virgin America~ Cool lighting ;)

2015 Winter America Trip Day 7 | 聖誕美國之旅 第七日

I am starting the daily blog and maybe 2-3 blogs a day to speed up my writing a bit~
Coz I have come back to Hong Kong since January (more than a month)
Don't want to write with vivid memory
So bare with me spamming you all :P

Day 7 第七日 (31 Dec 2015)

We originally planned to go to the Grand Canyon
But we got something wrong with the information we have and we turned out paying our tickets and did not go for the tour TOT [US$70@]
Anyway, we went to Denny's for breakfast
Then we walked to our first checkpoint by foot~

我地原本計劃去大峽谷，但因為一啲資料上嘅出錯同埋誤解
所以俾咗錢但無去到..... 蝕咗T^T
但我地去咗第一站都好開心:)
行咗出Denny's食早餐～食飽就起程～～～

2015 Winter America Trip Day 6 | 聖誕美國之旅 第六日

Day 6 第六日 (30 Dec 2015)

We were too tired of the tight schedule the day before
So, we woke up late (at about 12pm)
That means we could not have breakfast anymore, which we originally planned to go for Flamingo Las Vegas's breakfast buffet, so to make the best out of the buffet pass we purchased~
Anyway we went to Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino for our brunch~

之前一日行程太趕所以太攰
我地大概12pm先起身～
miss咗我地原本plan去弗拉明戈酒店食早餐嘅行程～
如果去埋食晚餐就最抵:P
我地梳洗完就去Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino食午餐:D

First Checkpoint: Planet Hollywood: Spice Market Buffet

We UBER to Planet Hollywood, but the driver took the longest route @@ [$13.06]

After eating, we shopped at Sephora (a lot, you will see in the following picture)

第一站：荷里活星球賭場度假村：Spice Market Buffet

我地搭UBER去Planet Hollywood

個司機兜路！！！＠＠

食完我地去咗Sephora買咗少少野(張單好長/.\)

Trying out the foundation I bought at Target yesterday and making sure the colour matches me~
Not really use to the 'no tester' shopping for makeup :P
Glad that it matches my skin tone :)

即刻試用之前嗰晚買嘅粉底
好唔慣美國買化妝品無得試色(Sephora除外)
好彩啱色唔洗番去退貨～

We done a little more shopping at Walgreens and we went on for our sightseeing~

我地去Walgreens行咗轉就開始我地今日嘅行情XD

And I am trying to mark down how much we spent throughout the trip~
Hope it helps if you are planning to go for a trip too :D

打呢篇部落格先知自己一日行程原來咁豐富
我盡可能都有寫番自己用咗幾多錢(如果你地計劃去美國可以參考吓;P)

Day 2 第二日 (26 Dec 2015)

View from the room and hostel's backyard :)

Our alarm went off at around 8 a.m. We got up slowly and really trying to adapt to the cool weather.
We enjoyed our delicious breakfast at the hostel and had a chat with the host.  Daniel helped us to call some museums to check if they opened on the day after Christmas (Saturday).

HOSTEL LINK 台灣民宿

八點鬧鐘叫醒咗我～天氣太凍所以梳洗都慢啲:P
落到廚房Joanne整咗個三文治俾我地:)仲同兩位屋主傾咗陣計～Daniel仲幫我地打電話去啲博物館睇下佢地星期六開唔開(雖然我地無計劃去/.\)
佢地真係好好人！大家去SF要搵佢地！XD

Then we started our San Francisco sightseeing day :)
We called our trip as city hunting and running to different places for checkpoints :P

開始我地舊金山嘅觀光之旅！

Passed by when we are heading to our 1st checkpoint ;P
