Oh no, is it really December tomorrow?
Saturday, 30 November 2013 | 0 comments
Hello, cuties~

The last time I did an update on my life was near the beginning of this month, and now it's the last day of November.  Can you believe it?  I'm a little glad because that means I have only one more week of class (but really, I'm only going to class on Thursday and Friday, hehe ;), and then one exam on the 11th AND THEN I'M DONE!!!  I'm so excited for the winter break to start already.  I can finally catch up on sleeping and preparing lots of blog content like reviews and what not.  It's gonna be awesome.
 


So, a couple of weeks ago, I went to Forever 21 with the intentions of picking up some tights since winter is already happening in Toronto, but I totally came out with more than just that.  I also got knee-high socks, and some earrings.  I got a lightning bolt chain earring set, a black cross set, and a set of bat earrings that were from the Japan Forever 21!  It says on the packaging that it's from their Japan location, which I thought was pretty cool.  It seems they're stuff are so much cuter over there, huh?


Then on the weekend, Charming came home and we spent a whole day together~  We went to the mall and I managed to finally get my hands on NYX's blush in Taupe.  I've been searching high and low for this blush because I heard it's the perfect contour shade.  I usually contour with a bronzer but I really don't like how warm/orange it was.  This is a cooler taupe colour that is much better for contouring.  And guess what?  I LOVE IT!  There aren't many places here that sell NYX, actually.  We do carry them in Rexall, which is a (less popular) drug store, but there aren't many around me so it's not as easy for me to access them.  Even when I went to visit Charming in London, I popped by their Target and Rexall, and none of them carried this colour!  In fact, the Target didn't even carry any of the NYX blushes, which was very disappointing.  I managed to pick this one up at Phoenix, in Pacific Mall, for $11.29 with tax.
 

We went to Hollywood Cafe to eat that day, and I ordered the Curry rice.  It's one of my favourite things to eat and it was super yummy.  Charming had a pork chop rice, which was also really good.



It was the last day for the Starbucks buy one get another free, so we took advantage of that and ordered two peppermint mochas.  It's our favourite winter drink.  What's your favourite?  I would like to try their gingerbread latte, because that sounds really delicious too.  I'm very boring and just stick to my favourites all the time, but I think the next time, I will try something new! 


The following day, I went out to eat ramen with my family.  I got the miso pork ramen.  I love this place because their broth is just so tasty :)  They also have Japanese curry, which I love as well, but I was feeling like a nice bowl of ramen that day.



Recently, I went to The Face Shop to pick up new skincare products because the ones I've been using is already expired now :(  I've been using it for a good 2 years, and I've only got 1/4 left.  You'd expect me to have used it all up by now, since it's been 2 years, but to be honest, I've been very lazy with my skincare lately.  I use to do the full routine, but halfway through 2013, I've been just slapping on baby cream all over my face day and night and calling it good.  I know it's not really a good excuse, but since it was the summer time, I didn't feel like my skin needed so many products.  Also, I was really lazy and when school started, I was extremely busy.

However, since it's winter once again, I went out to get brand new skincare products to get me back into the system.  And I must say, what a difference!  I can't believe I ever stopped.  I picked up their Mango Seed line, which I fell in love with since I tried their sample version.  (I just did a review on it, but I will have a more in-depth review again after using it for a little longer!)  At first, I got the lotion and facial butter because they were having a buy one get the second 50% on skincare products only, and I also wasn't sure if I needed the toner since I've always felt like toners weren't really for me.  But soon, I realize that the toner made a huge difference, so I went back to get it.  This time, they had the same sale but on any item in the store, so I also picked up their gel eyeliner pencil since my eyeliner was running low.  And of course, they gave me some free samples to try it, so watch out for all these reviews coming in the future!

And here are some pictures that have accumulated throughout the past couple of weeks.

Just a reminder that comments are now enabled and working, although it is a pop-up window.  So feel free to leave me a comment there!  I'll still keep my tagboard up.  Also, I do have a bunch of reviews lined up already written and ready to be published so I'll be putting those up periodically, just so my blog doesn't become so dead when I get super busy.

Have an amazing week, everybody!  I hope all you Americans had a wonderful Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it, and that everyone got lots of cool items on Black Friday :)
