</div><div style="text-align: left;">I can't believe I haven't blogged in ages! It's spring time and I think this is deserving of a post!! I've been contemplating for a while to change my skincare routine. My skin is currently doing very well but I thought I'd change it up a bit. Plus, gives me an excuse to shop!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The products I will be trying:</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SAQ_fn8gbKU/Tdg-p2yU1LI/AAAAAAAAAlc/RmzYE8I1CQQ/s1600/IMG_4778.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SAQ_fn8gbKU/Tdg-p2yU1LI/AAAAAAAAAlc/RmzYE8I1CQQ/s1600/IMG_4778.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">The products I am currently using are listed on the right hand side. I've been using Shiseido's brightening line for the longest time and I do see results (brighter skin, less breakouts, etc compared to JuiceBeauty's cleaner, another product I've been using concurrently. JuiceBeauty is organic, but my skin seems to find ways to disllike it, but that is another comparison for another time). I am going to switch to the Shiseido Pureness line for my cleanser to see if I see any additional improvements. I am also going to start using my Mia Clarisonic (thank you MrW!) and hopefully this will even out my skin tone. I will report my results once I've adjusted to these new products!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Another significant change is that I will start using eye products more often. I am going to try Shiseido's The Skincare Eye Moisture Recharge, which I picked up from the Shiseido warehouse sale for $30. Even though my skin still looks relatively youthful I think(?...people often mistakem me for a 12 year old), what can really give away your true age are your eyes' and hands' wrinkles. So, step one for me....protect my eyes! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I have tons more to write (perhaps due to several month's of hiatus?!), but I need to take advantage of my long weekend and catch some sun! Leave a comment if you want me to review the specific items I've posted above!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

So when I find something that truly makes my heart swoon and my smile beam like sunshine, I keep it close to my heart. This post is actually inspired by fellow Torontonian Cleone, who is a minimalist, a beauty queen and a very talented girl. Her post titled "<a href="http://www.cleoneye.com/?p=4655">最美好的事情</a>" roughly translated to "The most beauty things..." has so many points that resonates bits and pieces of my life. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So I share with you, 10 best things that make my life awesome the way it is:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1. When...my Tim Horton's rim says "you win a free coffee!"</div><div style="text-align: left;">2. When... I kindly let a random stranger merge in front of me and in receipt I get a little thank you hand gesture</div><div style="text-align: left;">3. When... friends and family think I am so musically talented, but the only song I can play is River Flows In You by muscle memory</div><div style="text-align: left;">4. When... I walk from 40 degrees humid weather into blasted AC at the mall (I think this is happiness for most people!)</div><div style="text-align: left;">5. When... ajummas speak to me in Korean </div><div style="text-align: left;">6. When... Mr.W holds my hand on a crowded street</div><div style="text-align: left;">7. When... I am freed from the prison of my bra at the end of the day</div><div style="text-align: left;">8. When... served with a great piece of medium rare steak and a glass of wine</div><div style="text-align: left;">9. When... I am able to let go and forgive those who have wronged me</div><div style="text-align: left;">10. When... I find money in my pockets I've forgotten about</div><div style="text-align: left;">BONUS: (taken from Cleone and oh so true) - trying samples (at T&T) without the intentions of ever buying the product</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm sure most of you have heard about the tsunami in Japan that took the lives of thousands of people. You may be thousands of miles away and not feel the impact, but please help. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am currently impacted by this catastrophe because one of my dear friends was in Miyagi, Sendai when this occurred. He is fortunate enough to have survive, but have lost all his belongs. However, he is so incredibly strong and is currently volunteering in one of the nearby schools, helping many of the elderlies and children adapt to their situation. I am so proud of him.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can help too. There are many non for profit organizations that are receiving donations and sending it as emergency relief funds to Japan. There are also bloggers who are selling items and donating 100% of the proceeds, such as Eki, <a href="http://www.worshipblues.com/p/japan-tsunami-appeal-sale.html">Yasumi</a>, and <a href="http://asiyakei.blogspot.com/2011/03/helpjapan-earthquake-and-tsunami-relief.html">Asiyakei</a>. I, myself, have pledged a donation to <a href="https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/donate.aspx?EventID=66175&LangPref=en-CA&Referrer=http%3a%2f%2fwww.redcross.ca%2farticle.asp%3fid%3d38380%26tid%3d001">Red Cross</a>. These people are without home, some have even lost their family, and are trying to survive on whatever resources are left in the area, so they really need our support and for us to be compassionate during this time. If you don't have the resources or finances, there are other ways to help. You can spread the word or volunteer to fund raise at a local charity or at a relief center. </div><br />

</a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.stonegrillonwinchester.com/contact.php">Stonegrill on Winchester</a> is located in old Cabbagetown, a part of Toronto filled with rustic and interest buildings. I think this part of the city used to be filled with Spanish and Greek immigrants before they migrated to Danforth. I visited Stonegrill in the summer because it offered an interesting way of cooking food - on a heated stone! The restaurant actually offers two methods: you can grill your own meat on the heated stone or have the chef cook the meat on a stove (inside the kitchen). But obviously cooking your own meat sounds more thrilling.... Stonegrill is smart - they get you to pay a premium for the unique experience <b>and</b> have you cook/serve yourself!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The price is affordable but it is by no means cheap. The pricing is mid-range so it gets pushed into the fine dining category as prices start at $30 for the main course (if you want to grill the meat). If you visit during the promotional seasons (i.e. Summerlicious or Winterlicious), it would be worthwhile, but otherwise, I would consider it a splurge. I had a decent time but would have probably enjoyed my food more if I had better culinary skills....(I have to admit, grilling salmon to perfection is quite difficult)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I've decided to have a more minimalistic theme, perhaps an echo what I see my life as currently (or rather how I <b>want</b> to feel - any one caught in tax season would know what I mean). Hope each and every one of you are feeling the fabulous-ness of March because in several weeks it will be Spring (even though we just endured another snow storm yesterday)!</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">This is one of my first dabble into film (lomo) photography. I received a Diana Mini for Christmas and have only finished my first roll of film.... my life is boring okay! Plus I don't get any sunlight and only see snow each day. I've only shared one photo because I don't have many choices.... :( The Diana Mini is really difficult to use! I took approximately 40 photos, but 80% of my film were black frames or could not be processed by the lab, haha! This is because not enough light was hitting my lens or the processors were just incompetent, oh well, lesson learned!</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Went to Sephora today to help the Sister pick up her birthday gift and couldn't help but do some shopping...I'm such a nimble shopper!<br />
<br />

I've also busied myself with crafting and packaging Christmas gifts =D My desk looks like the 5th day of WWII, but you're not a true crafter (which btw is NOT a real word...pffft) until you cannot find your crafting tools underneath all the mess!<br />

<br />
This is not a true post but just to let those in the vicinity of Toronto know that the MAC/Estee Lauder Warehouse sale is ongoing from today (Friday) to Sunday. You will need a ticket to enter and are limited to a maximum of 4 items per each product available.<br />
<br />
Late notice, but... I want to make one other blogger happy so I have <b>one extra ticket for Saturday (December 4, 2010). </b><br />
<br />
Rules:<br />
1. Please DM me on Twitter if you are interested (no emails - they will not be responded to)!<br />
2. <u>Bloggers only</u> aka I will not release the ticket to someone I have not seen on the blogspere.<br />
3. Please be 18+, I don't want to be responsible for having minors get lost in the rush of mad MAC shoppers, plus, it's fairly far and located in a remote warehouse in Richmond Hillsuperwooluhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15844039776961636005noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959866852062872599.post-53071351601080844942010-11-19T11:18:00.001-05:002011-03-07T01:05:25.620-05:00Wilfred in Taupe<div style="text-align: left;">Helloooo to Friday!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">In an effort to get my mojo back up aka a la motivation to muster up some presentable post, I am sharing my OOTD. I'll be lying if I told you I wore this today because temperature is hovering the near negatives in Toronto, and unless my arms and legs were resistant to cold I'd never be able to survive wearing this outside now. But this outfit did keep me feeling pretty during the course of the summer. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vw64zzYs2QQ/TOaenwNWkNI/AAAAAAAAAiU/m_IHlYFxjSk/s1600/IMG_3304.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vw64zzYs2QQ/TOaenwNWkNI/AAAAAAAAAiU/m_IHlYFxjSk/s320/IMG_3304.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>What I wore:</b> <i>AE</i> cardigan; <i>Wilfred</i> corsette dress; <i>Gmarket </i>sandals</div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">I got the Wilfred corsette dress in taupe on sale at Aritzia at their summer blow out sale. The dress comes in another color (khaki or some shade of green) but did not have the cute pattern. Because of the corsette style, this dress makes you look really thin (but not starving skinny), though it also means you won't be able to breathe or eat until you strip out of the dress..... The size I purchased was 4 - I normally wear sizes 0-2 but Artizia sizes run small. But even in a size 4 I needed assistance in zipping this up because the material doesn't give any room since it's not stretchy fabric.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As a side note, I'd be weary of purchasing sandals with no soles from Gmarket (the flat ones)! They're worse than sandals from H&M, though really cute looking and cheap at $8. This pair was a miss for me because I've purchased sandals from Gmarket before and they were quite comfortable. But I mean, cost vs. feet pain. Your choice!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Yes I know I've been MIA for so long that I might as well have disappeared off the face of the earth (but the question is, would I then be floating in (cyber) space?).... apparently not blogging for several months have turned my jokes really lame as well! And what makes it worse is that even Mr.Woolu noticed the lazy cat was my only post since three months ago. But my real concern is that Mr.W reads this?! Well... if that's the case - <b>/shout out </b>- Mr.W, please slowly let your eyes wander to the right side of the page where it says WISHLIST <b>/end shout out</b>.<br />
<br />
Anyway I am back (not with a vengeance though)! I've been nagged so much to post something that I swatched a polish purchased over the summer (around the same time as Plum Seduction). I'm still on a conquest to find the perfect rose polish. With asian skin tone hands I find wearing any shade of red not as flattering. I think overall <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">Rimmel's English Rose</span></b> is mediocre.<br />
<br />

I like the formula because its thick and not streaky. I also really like the brush, which is wide and flat so you an cover your nail in 1-2 strokes. Maybe I just made a poor color choice, because I've definitely left this collecting dust. You can find <a href="http://www.rimmellondon.com/us/products/nails/Nail+Polish/Lasting+Finish+Pro+Nail+Enamel.aspx">Rimmel polishes</a> in most drug stores and will cost around $3-$5 depending if sale discounts are available.<br />

I can only describe it as a very flirtatious and color popping shade. The nail polish has a creme finish to it and is a mix of magenta, fuchsia and purple in a bottle.<br />
<br />

I've never been completely gaga in love with Revlon's nail polish formula and this one has not changed my opinion either. The formula is very watery so the first two coats will only leave your nail polish in streaks. The watery formula may be overlooked in pale shimmery shades but for nail polish with a creme finish.... *thumbs down* It took at least three coats for the shade to turn opaque, like in the photo.<br />
<br />
I definitely really like this color and looks super cute in photos. The total damage was only really $5.99CAD and lots of patience.... so, has this <i><b>plum</b> </i>shade <i><b>seduced</b></i> you at all?superwooluhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15844039776961636005noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959866852062872599.post-24289012870700850202010-07-23T23:13:00.004-04:002010-07-25T13:06:19.143-04:00NARIS UP Nose Pack Peeling Mask Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vw64zzYs2QQ/TEpTqzWyc0I/AAAAAAAAAhE/5_FYxKb-8UU/s1600/narsup1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vw64zzYs2QQ/TEpTqzWyc0I/AAAAAAAAAhE/5_FYxKb-8UU/s320/narsup1.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you (dare) click to enlarge the photo, you can see that my nose harbours quite a lot of white and black heads. If you glance at the after photo (you don't even need to closely observe because it's so apparent), you will see that none of the blackheads left my nose. The mask simply ripped out the hair on my nose and got rid of some white heads. I already did this mask post a 30 minute steaming hot shower. </span><br />

How is July treating you? It's super humid and hot here (about 40 degrees!)... not even which air conditioning can solve.... so I am going to avoid swatching anything since it will melt in 5 seconds! I'll just share what my outfit of the day is ^__^<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Oh the lighting's terrible! Wish I had a better photo but I was in a hurry. I think having chiffon material clothing in your wardrobe is a such a good idea! It's silky to the touch and I think is somewhat sweat resistant :p</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I've finally found the time to swatch it for you guys! At the sale I purchased the The Makeup Glosses in G1 - Champagne Sparkle and G4- Petal Pink; the Shimmering Stick in SL1 and the Perfecting lipstick in P8 (Shy Pink). I believe the glosses retail for $20 and the lipsticks for $30 but I purchased all for $10 a pop because I think these are from the 2008 line (don't think they are discontinued yet though). </span></span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vw64zzYs2QQ/TCu0jjegmhI/AAAAAAAAAgs/a5uEdHUEC7s/s1600/IMG_2896.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vw64zzYs2QQ/TCu0jjegmhI/AAAAAAAAAgs/a5uEdHUEC7s/s320/IMG_2896.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<div>The glosses are very glossy (evident in the swatches below) and make a very good combination with the lipsticks or can be worn alone. The shimmer stick in SL1 is very moist and has a very glossy finish, but I think it works better with Champagne Sparkle on top. If you wear it alone, think of having frosty nude lips because of the glitter.... The Perfecting stick in Shy Pink is a matte coral pink (don't know why it's that red in the photo - refer below for a more representative shade). I love this lipstick because it's hydrating and glides on like butter - with no friction at all!</div><div><br />

Too bad I already picked up my Revlon Colorburst Soft Nude for $10 several days ago! But, I couldn't help buying some more Colorbursts. I mean who can resist a sale! If there is a nearby Rexall to you, I recommend dropping in and browsing through the selections of drugstore lipsticks!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div>What I wanted to talk about today is Vasanti's tinted lipbalm. Because of the Rexall sale I picked up one of their lipbalms to try out. <a href="http://www.vasanticosmetics.ca/can/">Vasanti Cosmetics</a> is owned by three Canadian women and became an organization in 1998. Apparently, this cosmetics line was originally created to cater to women with more "exotic" looks. I don't want to define"exotic" so interpret as you please =P Vasanti also claims their products are not tested on animals (yay!).<br />
<br />
There are reviews out there on Vasanti's Liquid Cover Up which is already a really popular product. However I decided to test the waters with their tinted lip balm. I picked up Bahamas, which is a brownish plum shade and according to Vasanti's site is one of their top sellers. Vasanti's tinted lipbalm uses ingredients like vegetable oil, seed oil, beeswax, shea butter (which is why it's very moisturizing), mango seed butter (sounds exotic and yummy), BUT it does contain paraben.<br />
<br />

-very moisturizing!<br />
-moderate selection of colors<br />
-almost no taste at all<br />

-pricey at $15 when tinted balm from burt bees is 1/3 of its price (but get it 50% on sale now at Rexalls!)<br />
-not widely available -- it's available at Rexalls/SDM for CDNs and at Ultas for Americans.<br />
-contains paraben, so if you're allergic.... avoid :(<br />

The color on your screen may not be a true representation of what it will look on your lips since my lips are fairly dark in nature but all I can say is that it makes my lips so soft! </div><div><br />

<br />
I will be MIA for the next two weeks because I'm going on vacation!! The destinations will be Vegas and Florida ^___^. Does anyone have any recommendations for Vegas? I'll be seeing the Grand Canyon and doing some shopping!<br />
<br />
On a side note, did any toronto bloggers also go to the Shiseido warehouse sale?? When I am back from vacation my next post will detail what I purchased and how much cash I saved by going to this sale =D <br />
<br />
Before I take my leave I wanted to share information on a korean franchise that I tried this week called Owl of Minerva in the Greater Toronto Area.<br />
