Mario Badescu

Since I am on here, I thought I could update about Mario Badescu products I received. So I got my silver powder order lastweek, and have only used it twice. it's pretty good, it clears my pores around my t-zone area, except my nose still has some blackheads, like the deep ones, so I have to continue using it to see if it'll fix that problem. I could only use it once a week, cuz it's a bit drying for the skin and I have dry skin. I also received the gwp travel size things. I got the orange face cleanser, which I really love, it really cleans my face, gets rid of all the makeup and residue in one wash. I have tried the glycolic foaming cleanser and the enzyme cleasing gel but the orange cleanser really makes my face feel different, up to the morning I wake up, since I do the mario badescu routine at night and estee lauder routine in the morning. I also got the grapfruit lotion (toner) and it is a bit sticky feeling for a toner, and I'm not used to that, but I think it works well. So if my face stays how it is when I finish those two, i will definitely order them! The last item I got in the gwp was a body lotion, i think it was orange too, don't remember cuz I don't use it much since it smells weird and work ok, just a regular body lotion. And I got my little samples, my favorite is the whitening mask, it smells so good and I think it works, it does seem to fade the blemishes on my face, even though i used it twice. I will probably order that too, if I don't fine a better whitening face thing. So yeah, mario badescu products I have get a 9/10!

I Won!

Ok so I have been playing for the Samsung Behold II for more than 2 weeks. And today I won!!! I couldn't beleive it, I just randomly was doing my own thing and was ready to enter for the next hour, and it said I won. I have been jumping up and down, literally. Plus I told everyone at home I won, I just can't believe it! I have been trying different techniques such as entering at 59:59 or 1:00 or 0:03 and I won by just clicking at it randomly, I think at 13:xx. But I'm so happy I don't have to do this anymore, clicking every hour, since I got one now! I have been wanting a new phone by Samsung cuz I love Samsung phones (past one was samsung and the one I have now is samsung) plus I have been wanting a touch phone since everyone has one. I can't beleive I get one for free, this for retails at $400 (that's what samsung says), but at t-mobile (the service provider I have and the provider hosting this contest) it's $230. I can't beleive this, I first was just wanting to look for a new phone and went to tmobile.com but didn't see much options under samsung, color and style wise. Then I just decided to got to samsung's site and saw the sweepstakes and just entered it. Wow what a coincidence, that me wanting a new phone and trying to go on samsung's site to explore, but stumbled upon the ad and finally won it!
Well I'll wait at least 14 days for it to get here, and I'll post pics up! ;) I'm so happy, and jumpy right now!!!

Another order!

This is bad! I think, because I know I won't do any black friday shopping, I decided to do all these orders today, I must be unconsciously doing this. So my sasa free gift code was about to expire (by the end of this month) and I wanted to use it, cuz it's a surprise gift. I also been wanting the Laneige suncare lotion with spf 50, so I finally ordered it. Plus I have been wanting the mini Flower by Kenzo perfume, and they've been out of stock until a couple weeks ago, so I wanted to order these things before they go out of stock. So with $6 shipping, my total was $31.xx plus international fee which may be close to $2. So it'll be a total of $33 spent. No more spending for me, well at least no more online. I have been meaning to make another order on sasa to redeem the free gift, which I am not sure what it is, so I knew I would need to spend, just didn't think I would make two orders in one day. Well, I just spent $50+ and now I am broke, hopefully I don't overdraft, if they put extra charges or anything. But yeah, no more purchases until 2010!...online that is ;p

So that's what I ordered. I covered up the code, just in case it :x keke

Well that's it. Hope to have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving break so far

So tomorrow is Thanksgiving day, and we're not doing much, just a small bbq cuz the day after we have a wedding to go to. Yes, on black friday, I was thinking of going to the mall but I changed my mind since I am broke and wouldn't be able to buy anything, plus I would have to wake up at 5 am and that is too early for me, so i won't go this year. I really just wanted to buy jeans, but I don't think I can with only $3, yep that's all the cash I have...
Anyways, yesterday I went to do grocery shopping with g-ma and decided to buy some things to make korean kimchi pancake (kimchi buchimgae). It's really simple, ingredients are: flour, water, egg, kimchi, green onion, and salt. I made about enough for 10 of these pancakes. Some ended up undercooked or overcooked. Only 2 ended up nice. I made half a batch yesterday and today I finished it up. Here's a few pics, too bad I didn't get a pic of the good one, but I took these yesterday and the good ones, I made today. G-ma loves it!

The batter.

On the fry pan, gotta cook one side for 10 minutes, then flip it a cook until brown. This one isn't flipped yet.

This one is a little undercooked, but is also overcooked on the vegetables.

Today I got a package. My Missha Deluxe Sampler came! It was in a cute packege, and I must admit, the lipgloss was really small, but other than that, it was what I expected. Here's some pics:

I ripped it out of the packaged box. But the Missha packaging is nice!

The back says what is included. 5 samples!

Tada! The samples! I took it relative to my hand, just to get an idea how big it is. And you can see the lipgloss is tiny. It actually is able to be a cellphone keychain, I tried it, it taste and smells like perfume or some sort of air freshener, you get the idea, it had a fragrance to it, but not one you would want to taste in your mouth, at least not me. The color is a nice baby pinks and is shimmery, it is sheer though, and since I have dark lips, all you can see is the glossiness and shimmer. Haven't tried the other 3, I say 3 cuz I already tried the BB cream before. Can't wait to use them!

Also, I made an order on Mario Badescu, love the stuff, well this is from using the samples for about a week. I can see my freckles have faded a bit, and my pores on my cheeks are much smaller. Still need help with my nose and forehead, pores/ pimples.
And since they had this offer, where it ends today at midnight eastern time, you get 3 travel sized products at random, but are the popular products, with a travel kit bag, with any purchase, for free! So I couldn't let this offer pass since I really wanted to try more of their products.
I decided to buy the silver powder, cuz you get a lot for a low price, it only cost $12. One of the lower prices on their products. This product reduces blackheads and make pores smaller, and I need help on my nose. I have had blackheads on my nose since I started high school (5+ years ago) and it has never disappeared, it may have reduced at some times, but never been cleared. And all I can do is extract them but them leaves bruising and darkening on my nose, which is ugly, so hopefully this silver powder will make my several years of struggle with blackheads on my nose be gone.
So always with every purchase you can choose 3 samples, like the free little sample size you get from consulting, so I chose/; whitening mask- was going to buy this instead but a bit too much money for something I haven't tried yet so got a sample to see if it works, glycolic foam cleanser, and glycolic acid toner- these said it would reduce discoloration on face, and seems like it would get all the dirt of my face as well as make pores clean and smaller, without drying out the face.
Total was $16.95 cuz shipping with $4.95 which is really good, since some places I bought from have $6.95-$8.99 shipping.
That's it! Can't wait for my Mario Badescu order. Can't believe I'm getting 1 oz. Silver Powder, 3 free samples, and 3 travel sized samples in a travel kit, all for $16.95 shipped. Such a good deal, now I hope these products will work great for me!

The Mall

Today I went to the mall with the g-parents, I drove. Once we entered, there was loud music playing and then I saw they were doing a runway type setup, and it said america mall model search, but I didn't see anyone walk just a video of people walking the runway, anyways lots of people were just watching and listening to the mc, it was almost 3. Then I went to VS to redeem my two free panties card, yay! they had cute bags and wrapping paper, and I didn't even buy anything, love it! Then i went to macy's and g-ma and me looked at the shoes cuz she was looking for comfortable leather shoes with a small heel, like 1 inch, but all of them were hard leather and she wanted soft. Then we looked at dresses cuz I wanted to, since I knew it would be on sale since it's winter time, and they had a 50% off deal for almost all the dresses, also a few 80% off. Me and spent 20 minutes looking and she finally found one, that is such a pretty teal color, and nice "silk" like material. The cut was almost the same as the cream color dress i wore to wun lun jie's wedding, where it the top was like spaghetti/tank, 1 inch straps, straight back but v-neck at the front, and not too revealing which is what i want, not a fan of too much cleavage exposure. And the length goes past my knees, the bottom is where the front is short and the back is a little long, which is exactly like my cream dress, but they're not the same brand. Anyways that was $37.xx for me, original price was $69, but since it was 50%, that made it worth buying. I would not spend more that $50 on that type of dress. Oh and g-ma found that in the 80% off rack, but then we looked at the 50% off rack and saw the same dress then thought "wait, so it's 50% off, someone must have put it in the wrong rack" then I did a price check at it said $34.50, so such a shame. But g-ma said I could get it cuz it looked nice and I could wear it to the upcoming wedding next week. She only had $35 so i had to pay the rest but I only had $5, so if it were more than $40, we would be in trouble and can't pay for it. But good thing the tax wasn't too much! I am happy with the dress and I'm gonna show mommy and then try to get $37 back to give to g-ma $35 and me $2 lol. If mommy likes the dress she'll probably give the money, and I bet she'll like it!!

Going Here, Going There

So today, I had a few places to go to before it got too late into the night, so I left at 4:30. I first had to go to the bank and deposit some money for my debit card since I was running low and I never want to overdraft since that's happened to me before. Then I went to Kohl's to return something (waited in line for 10-15 mintues) and then went and did a little shopping, I restricted myself to buy only one thing, even thought they were having a sale throughout the whole store on all items. I decided to get a bag, even though I really needed jeans, but I thought, "jeans would take me at least half an hour to find and try on." Since I already knew I needed a black bag for a while, I just looked at the black bags. I decided to get a Rosetti bag since I have two already and just love the feel of the soft leathery bags, and they aren't even leather, which is a plus! It's a medium sized black bag, and I love the pockets, I love Rosetti bag cuz they have little pockets which are perfect for what I need, one for cellphone, one for chapstick/lipgloss, and last for trash lol. The orignal price is $55, but since it was %50 off Rosetti bags, it cost me $29.xx with tax. Oh it also comes with a wallet, but I don't like it, it's more of a coin purse for coins and cards, but is as big as a wallet. I'm happy with the purchase cuz I've been looking for a leathery type bag, that is a good size but fashionable, for a very long time. And glad I gound it %50 off cuz I would never pay more than $30 for a Rosetti bag cuz that's not a good brand name or anything. Here's the pic of the bag, doesn't look too special but it's what I want, something casual, comfy, and can hold enough:

I then took a little walk to the clothes section, and lots of things were good priced, but too bad I restricted myself, lots of things were 50% and there were tons of 80% off racks but they were just a mess and too many things to look at, and I would probably waste 20 minutes doing that and not get anything, so I just said "no" to myself and went to go pay. So I waited in line for about 10 minutes, not bad, especially since it was a sale day and there were lots of people. So I left the store a little before 5. Then I had to go to get gas, but driving there, there was a lot of traffic, so what would take me less than 10 minutes to drive there, took mee 20 minutes. So I just went to get gas and got home a little before 6. Yep, a pretty busy day and took me a little over an hour to complete, yay for me! ;)

Sasa order

So about a little over a month ago I placed an orde with sasa.com cuz of the paypal free shipping, cash back, and free gift promotion. This is my order:


I originally just wanted the Nivea products, the deorderant and whitening cream but they were so cheap so I wanted other stuff too, so I got the Dr. Jart+ Black Label Detox Healing BB cream. This was the cost of half my total, but was well worth it. I did research of which BB cream to get and decided on this one cuz it is the darkest ones and it doesn't clog pores. I love it!!!

Here's me promoting my love for it lol.

From my order I just added little things that I think wasted my money on too. I didn't like the Mentholatum lip balm which I got in grape blackcurrent, cuz I like berry smells. But this smelt bad and tasted bad, I has a medicine smell, like the asian rubbing medicine type smell. I also didn't like the Koji eye products I got- the eyelash fix, I got for my fake eyelashes was too runny and took too long to dry but I like that it was black and look like black eyeliner. I also didn't like the Koji eyelash curler cuz it felt cheap, it does fit my eye shape but actually using it, it didn't feel secure, like it felt fragile and that it could back, it just seems loose.

The other stuff I am happy about, I got what I paid for and it serves its purpose So I am content with my order, got some good and some bad, but am so happy I bought that BB cream! And it's just the products I mentioned before, those were not worth spending, so I could have saved around $10. Oh well, I learned. And I plan to place another small sasa order before November is up since I got a free gift coupon from sasa, and I want to order some things that just come back on stock ;)

School

So as I said, I would be back to catch up on the things that has happened. I started school sometime at the end of August. It was a slow start trying to adapt to a new place and make friends. But now I have a "buddy" in each class. I call them "buddy" cuz we don't hang outside of class, just someone I can talk to and be "friends" with in the classroom. But some of them are really great people and I hope I can actually be friends, cuz I think we think alike sometimes and it's sort of hard to find those people that don't think I'm weird and tries to understand me. Someone I can be hyper and funny with but can also show my laid-back and serious side, since my mood changes a lot. The semester is coming to an end, so that means new classes, I just hope I can stay in touch with most of my "buddies" but also meet new ones!

Now I'm gonna talk about the work load, compared to a community college. It isn't too bad, not much homework so the workload isn't bad at all, it's pretty similar. The thing that sucks are the term paper required for every class, it's like a 10 page paper! But I have to do a few of those over Thanksgiving break so hopefully I can get it done cuz 10 pages is a lot for me. Also the exams are weighted much more since there is less homework, so if I fail an exam I lose my shot at getting an A. So far I have done pretty good overall, probably B in average of all my classes, the worst one was a 76% and I hope it stays that way, I don't think I can bare getting another low score, especially since my next exams are primarily final exams AHHH! I cannot fail those, although I think my finance class could be a candidate for worst grade this semester. That is my hardest class, but I will try to study over the break, especially since I just finished a 2500 word term paper for that class, so the final would be the last big obstacle.

Old friends. I still see some people from my community college and meet up with Lanae almost every Monday so it is good. Just because I know them, they know me, and we can just feel comfortable around each other and all we have to do is get to know more of each other. It's great seeing a familiar face in an unfamiliar environment!

Well that's about it for school talk. Just one more month until I am officially off from school and into winter break. Not really a month of school since we get a week off next week, but you get the point, schools almost over!

I'm back!

Well the only reason why I came back was cuz I wanted the Missha Deluxe Sampler lol. But I have so many things to talk about and Thanksgiving break is coming up as well as Winter break so I will definitely come back and catch up on some interesting things that come up. Here's a preview of what has happened and will talk about eventually: university, weddings, sasa, free samples, friends, and family. Yeah, nothing too exciting but if I write about it now, I won't forget it in the future when I'm old and become forgetful ;)

Missha promotion

So if I post this banner by Missha, I will be able to get their Deluxe Sampler for free (just pay shipping)! It includes their 5 products (will be in trial sizes): M Perfect Cover BB Cream-No.23 (18ml), M BB Boomer (10ml), M Luminous Color Lip Gloss SPF 10 (2.5g), M Perfect Cover Deep Cleansing Oil (18ml), and Super Aqua Detoxifying Peeling Gel (20ml). This is all great stuff, I have tried their BB cream and love it! Great feel and the shade isn't too light for me. I also tried their Super Aqua peeling gel and it was refreshing, not sure if it worked since I only had a little sample where I could try it once. But I can't wait to get this stuff, such a great deal. All I need is for someone to register using me as a reference, so copy and paste this blog site when registering.

More details of the promotion at the missha website

Update: Just placed the order for the free sample (yay!). So I had to pay $8.99 for shipping which is a lot but it's worth it, cuz I'm getting this huge sample. I regret getting a nail polish though since they have some funky colors for under $3. I mean if I'm paying $8.99 for shipping what's $3 gonna do? I really wanted a yellow nail polish, darn it! I was to excited to get the sample that I overlooked exploring the site for some cheap products.

Zoya and UD orders are here!!

It's been a while, but I've been busy watching k-dramas: Shining Inheritance and Queen of Housewives, omg! they are so good and so addictive to watch. And playing with my new Samsung netbook! I live the webcam and basically do vlogs which is why i stopped blogging, but once in a while i'll write something. Maybe i can post some on here but I usually rant a lot and it becomes too large of a file plus i don't know how to edit and don't think i have an editing program...anyways the point of my post are the packages I got in the mail, yay USPS, love them more than UPS since they always take a while and usually don't come to or doorstep which makes things complicated which is why I have to wait hours for the truck then run out of the house to get a package...
I got four of my Zoya orders, so that's 12 nail polishes!!! and I got my urban decay order, never bought from them since I don't use makeup much but 30% off code really caught my attention plus only $5 shipping and I only ordered 3-4 days ago and I got it today, so fast I love them to bad I am no makeup freak cuz then I would be a returning customer. I got a eyelash primer and the popular UD primer potion in the XL bottle since it was only $5 more than the original and 60% more, great deal! But now I need to stop shopping, cuz I have almost no money. Well now I have to wait for one zoya package to come tomorrow and possible my bare essentuals samples from UPS. Then I have two more zoya packages to arrive maybe tomorrow or two days from now from USPS, yay!

freaky

So today I went to do grocery shopping, I go to the same one every week since it's closest to my house. But today was the most freakiest experience I had there, usually it very quiet and calm shopping. Today was different, since I was being followed by some strange short middle-aged mexican guy. He didn't say a word or do anything beside stand really close to me and followed me throughout the store, so had to do really fast shopping today.
I walked into the store like normal but as soon as I walked past the bread section I noticed someone staring at me so I decided to walk faster into the vegetable/fruit section. I parked my cart in front of the fruit section and noticed the man right behind me still, so I walked thorugh there and went to the vegetables and he was still following me! I told 奶奶 cuz she always does the shopping with me that the guy was following me and that he looked crazy or had mental issues. So I stood to the left of her since she was picking out vegetables, but he went to the left of me, then I went to the right of her but he moved to the right of me and pretended to buy lettuce, so I moved back to the left of her but he moved back to the left and pretended to look and vegestable again. Then I got more scared cuz it was too suspicious and I could have to the workers since there were two working right in front of me but since he didn't do anything yet I tried my best to avoid and hide. We finished with the vegetables so I walked back the the cart and made a turn around but he still folowed us! All the guy carried was a composition notebook, and if we looked at him or moved to a new spot he work look and touch whatever was in front of him and pretended that he wanted to buy it. We went all the way around back to the vegestable place to buy more and I was able to hide behind the onions and potatoes, and didn't see him anymore. We finished with that and went to the meat place, I didn't see him but my 奶奶 looked down the aisles and saw him but I tried to hide behind her so I didn't look. When we got there I went to hurry to buy ice cream and put it back in the cart but then he came back and found us! He freaking followed us, then it was obvious to her that he was strange or crazy and followed us. So she needed to buy chicken but he kept walking back and forth in front of us and got as close as one foot or closer near me, I thought he was gonna sexually harass me. Then she grabbed the plate of chicken and yelled something in chinese that she would hit he head, since he was right in front of her and our cart (way too close) so then he walked away. But I needed ice cream cones and he hid in that aisle but I wanted to wait til he left to get it, but she just pushed the cart there, and I grabbed the cones. We walked out of the aisle and he followed us! I then looked back to see if he was gonna do anything, but he pretended to look at stuff again. I waited in line to check out and it was over, i didn't see him and kept looking around to see if he went to the exit, good thing he didn't and we went home. I told the story to my brother and mom, none made a big deal but to say tell the manager. 奶奶 kept making fun of me and said don't be scared just yell at him or ask "Why are you following me?!" and said I would never want to go there by myself anymore. I think I can but i'll have to wear pants or jeans. Since today I wore shorts, a tank top, and a jacket, I guess to much skin was revealed??? but it was in the afternoon not night so it's not my fault. It's that crazy short mexican guys fault, if I see that f***ing man again I will yell "Get away from me you f***ing stalker!" or "Stop f***ing following me, you're crazy!" that's onyl if no one was around, since I don't want to give the impression that I cuss hehe just to keep my innocent image ^_^
Ahh that made me feel a little better but i really wanted to beat the f***ing creep, i'm violent!

need to stop

OMG I made 2 more orders on zoya.com! I just found that you can buy anything like the Qtica lip gloss or lotions and the discount works. So I really need to stop cuz I spent $50.xx on there from yesterday and today, I regret getting some nail polish colors I don't need and could have saved an order, so instead of 7 orders just 6, but it's too late...

Order 1: Zoya renew nail polish rejuvenator (thinner), Qtica intense lip repair balm (as seen in Lucky mag, great for winter= dry lips)
Order 2: Zoya Gabrielle nail polish (orange spakly), Zoya hot lips lipgloss: Fame, Fortune (nude/natural)

I just couldn't pass up the oppurtinity that all of this is free, just need to pay for shipping. I really thought about it for the 1st order today, since it's something I can't get in stores without paying at least $5 each, when I am get both for $8.95, such a good deal. And lip gloss, it is hard for me to find a nude natural lip gloss color without paying at least $4 and I am getting 2 for $2ish. But i am done now, the offer ends Midnight so I will not go back to the website until tomorrow, cuz then i'll be tempted to buy more. My parents are gonna be mad if this comes in a large box, but omg! i can't wait thought~!

Nail Polish!

Today I bought from zoya.com since they have a code to get three nail polishes for free, just need to pay shipping of $6.95. Actually you can get anything like nail polish remover or the sample kit and it takes of $18, so it's a $18 discount. I got caught up since I had a list of nail polishes I wanted from the nail polish bottles exchange they had, but didn't do it. I'm glad I waited cuz each nail polish is like $2.3x compared to $3 from the exchange. I did 5 seperate orders cuz it's cheaper to just have the total be $0 and pay for shipping cost same with ordering nail polish seperate from the sample kits since those cost $36 for 6 when you can get it in two orders for $13.xx.
Order 1: Bela (light Pink), Stephanie (very light pink) , Creamy (light yellow)
Order 2: Harley (grayish), Laurie (light pink), Miley (lilac)
Order 3: Rea (metallic purple), Kotori (black/blue), Trixie (silver)
Order 4: Richelle (metallic copper), Gaia (offhwhite), Goldie (gold)
Order 5: Zoya nail polish remover (8 0z.), Armor topcoat UV block

I wish I got more bright colors like green, orange and blue but I didn't like the options they had, I like pastel, creamy colors right now and they only had shimmery glittery kinds, OPI and China Glaze has the colors I want, so I'll just wait to get those. Just bought the zoya colors that are special and can't buy in stores, plus I got a lot of pinks cuz I couldn't decide to go lighter or darker when the pinks are already a light color. And I love the metallic colors available at zoya, just some of them I don't think would fit me, so just got a few. That's it! So I spent $3x.xx today at zoya.com and I'm happy cuz that's a great deal for 12 professional salon type nail polishes and a good remover and a topcoat!

a lil break

I've been a little unmotivated to write anything but now i'm back. Yesterday I got my Asos order and i love everything i got, but there was one thing that didn't fit. The skirt was a coral color and a bit see-through, but i love it! The high waisted shorts with braces was really cute and I want to wear it a lot, but the problem is that it's a size too small :( I ordered an 8 when I should have ordered a 10 since i'm not that skinny and have a stomach. I was able to undo the buttons and re-sew it to make it a little bigger, by like a centimeter. If I lose 5 pounds it would fit, but now I can wear it but it totally kills my waist, I feel like it's crushing my rib cage, it's only the top button that is like that, if i un-do it I can breath and feel comfortable. The hari braids are cute but the black color is carker than my hair color and the dark brown is a little lighter than my hair color, i'm in between those two, but i think the dark brown matches more. Tonight, i'm planning to trim my bangs since I have been breaking out like crazy, probably the worst all the year. My forehead is gross and so is my nose and mouth area, i hate it! I feel ugly and can't go out with out a lot of makeup. I hope it gets better soon by Saturday...
Oh yeah yesterday I also paid for my tuition for college, man it's a lot of money $2,xxx plus $29x for parking permit... ok that's all

more orders came!

Today I received my last piece of item from Urban Outfitters. The cut out shoulders dress, not very form fitting and doesn't compliment the figure, but very nice material and would be cute on a skinny person or someone with small breasts lol.
Later, I waited all day for the UPS truck like about 3+ hours and finally they came at 5:30pm, so late! considering the fact that I saw it drive by twice! at around 3 but whatever I got my Bed Head TIGI Creative Genius sculpting liquid, that I ordered from amazon.com under fragrancenet. It also came with a 10% off coupon for their website, a sample of perfume, and a cute little mirror from the website. So I tried a little of Creative Genius and it smells like coconut and seems to give me a little volume, but I have to try and see how much it can last for a day. It has tiny glitter in it, which I don't really like, since it seems kiddish I mean it's very small and unnoticeable, just afraid if it's in my dark colored hair under the sun, it'll make it look like I have some white hair or something. Yes that sounded strange and I know, have I weird reasoning and thoughts lol.
well that's all for now, will post up the pics later~

shame on me! i broke the ban~

So while I was looking through the forums I usually go to, I decided to check out the fashion thread, and saw people post up Asos clothes. I said I wouldn't buy anymore clothes for half a year, but I couldn't resist since the sale ends tomorrow. For summer, I have been looking for some items for a good deals: one, a cute summer dress; two, a romper/jumper/or overall shorts; and three, a cute flowy skirt. And on Asos, I found two and three! I got high waisted shorts with removable brace straps(?) basically suspenders, got it in black cuz it was $7 cheaper than the white. I was gonna get the white but I saw that it was a bit see through and no pockets in the back which would show everything (if wearing regular underwear). I also got a cute wrap mini skirt in orange cuz that's all that was left in my size, the blue would match with more, but I don't have anything orange plus that it more summer/fall feeling. Both items were $13ish. Then I got two braided hairbands which almost everyone was getting when bought from Asos cuz it's so cheap, ranging from $0.89-1.54, depending on color, I got black and brown cuz I didn't know which would match my hair color since mine is a dark brown color...That's all I got, 4 items for $29.xx + $6 shipping, I was looking for a cheap shirt too or a nice belt but not much was left, and the belts had bright colors or were too big, so didn't get it. I really need to stop cuz I'm really gonna be broke!!! Plus I need to get glasses and possibly get my dad can get me the netbook I've been wanting, but if he finds out I've been spending way too much I won't be able to get it, so I need to stop NOW!

Decided to include the order, now that it's confirmed

buys of July

The month is almost up and I decided to go on a shopping ban. No more clothes for half a year, let's see if I can do that! I still have two packages coming: one dress from UO that was on backorder, and my buy from amazon.com tigi bed head hair product.
So while I won't be buying in a while, maybe little things like art&crafts but definitely no clothing unless it's like a really good deal of 70% off or more...i can't pass up a good deal~
So my second package from UO arrived yesterday, not so happy with what I got, first of the shoes we a bit tight and they weren't really comfortable, second, the sunglasses I got were actually for guys not girls so they are too big for me, third, the shirts I got didn't have such a nice fit as it did it look on the models. But other than that, they were a great deal and save me at least a hundred dollars if I weren't to buy at original price.
















Got a silence and noise carrot cut shirt in royal blue























Got a silence and noise black tank, very cool shirt: cool front detail and love the chain straps

The shirt can be sexy without trying to hard, because the back is totally see-through and has racerback straps, can't wear a bra with this shirt unless I wear an inside cami

Got a Kimchi and Blue tube top plaid dress in red, looked cute on the model and looks alright on me, I need to wear a cardigan with this to make it work

This fitted me the best, the Silence and Noise black tulip skirt only $5, plus it is such a unique design, need to have confidence to wear it, may give the effect of bigger hips, it's high-waisted, pencil skirt that has drapery on both sides

Got ecote sandals in black, although it actually is a grayish black color, cute design with straps though, but a little tight since I have wide feet

Got Kimchi and Blue sandals in black, these I am not to happy about, my feet are really tight and it uncomfortable to wear, they would look cute if I had smaller feet as in not wide

Last is the men's sunglasses (too big) I got, i really wanted a pair of aviators sunglasses too, and for cheap, but don't want to order again and have to pay for shipping, will have to wait till i get my hands on some avaitors glasses

That's all with my UO buys, now my Asos buys I recieved last weekend~

I have never bought from Asos, I mean it's a UK brand, even had to pay an international transaction fee with my bank. Shipping wasn't bad only $6, but the worriness of shipping all the way from the UK made me want to order once, even when I wanted to get more and order a second time, this week is the last of their sale so if I wnat to order better order now, but NO! i'm on a shopping ban, gotta remember! Asos is great though, lots of unique items you can find in the US and great price+quality!

Got this coat in stone, size 8 fits great but sleeves are a little too long and the puffiness of the dress is a bit overwhelming for me since I am short, but very cute and great price

cutest sleeves, ties into a bow!

I also got a dress, Asos black party dress, with golden dots, size 8 fits perfect! love the bow front and love the flowy, soft material! But i do wish I got it in purple, but no more in my size...

My favorite item is the Asos blue tunic/tank it is such a cute shirt, love the cute, the length, the back (bow tie back) and front (see through) design, if it was a lttle longer it could be such a cute mini dress= sexy and cute!
can't really wear a bra with this, not even low plunge since the whole front middle is see-thorugh, need to wear cup pads or something

Last clothing item is the lauren conrad inspired shirt, by Asos essentials, in black, fits great top part is loose and bottom, was stomach is form fitting, love the sleeves very unique, sort of like the bat wing shirts but not too excessive. Looks better when worn, then can she the shape of it

Last items are accessories from Asos: white/black heart waist belt, black knee high socks, gray tights, black tights


Extra Buys, got a hat from TJ Maxx and some things from Forever 21

Burton women's hat, needed a hat for the beach, something I didn't care if it got dirty bought on tuesday, cute but shouldn't have gotten a white cap right? but I only had three caps to chose from and this was the cutest!


Forever 21 buys from last week, originally wanted to look for a cute summer dress, but wanted to to be cute and not too expensive, nothing over $18. Couldn't find any, well I did but none in my size or either too much than what I would pay. So Got a plaid tunic, two tank tops (needed to replace my other forever 21 tanks), rose necklace and earring set (picked these up while waiting to pay in line, only $4.80), and gray leggings (not pictured, didn't know where I put them). Also notice their new bags, clear hot pink bags, but they still have their original yellow ones, at least the forever 21 i went to had the little ones to put jewelry/ small accessories in

Whew that's a lot of buys in only two weeks. Really need to go on a clothes shopping ban for half a year. Gosh such a long post and lots of pics, but i'm done and now I can eat dinner~!

dentist checkup

So i went to the dentist today to get my teeth cleaned. i waited for about an hour, even though it wasn't that busy, like not a lot of people, so i don't why. Well when the doctor came she looked at my teeth and i have TWO CAVITIES, one is big and the other is a little one. Then she found out that i haven't had a x-ray in six years, and she said i'm supposed to do it every three years. So we did that just to see if i had any deep cavities, which i didn't, and my bone structure was good. The only concern were my wisdom teeth, none of them have been exposed to the surface yet, they're still under the gums so my left side has a chance of growing out and if it does I have to get surgery to remove it since it'll just create a pocket and get infected easily, but the doctor said there' a low chance especially since it's been like that for over a year now. I have to get my cavities filled in two weeks, but it's no big deal since they are just surface fillings and I already have had like five fillings. Just have to watch out for how much sweets I eat and floss more often, then everything will be okay, at least I hope...

July 22 buys

I got my packages that I ordered last week, got my first Urban Outfitters package (still awaiting my bigger order coming up this week), and my Amazon.com order.




















From Amazon.com i ordered black Danskin shorts. Just bought them since i needed to spend a gift certificate and safety shorts were on my mind since it's summer and I want to wear skirts and dresses but don't want any 'accidents' lol.

the shorts are a size medium cuz i read the reviews and people said to go a size up and they were right, they fit just right! I wonder how small the small would be since these fit just like a small.




























From Urban Outfitters (UO) I got my second order first. I originally ordered a lot for the first order but that hasn't arrived yet so I got my second order today, gosh that sounds confusing. Well i ordered three things: black booties, gray shorts, gray tank/tunic ->all for around $30 good deal, since over the weekend UO was having a huge sale I probably saved $60-$70 from original price! They fit perfect except the 'silence and noise' gray tank/tunic was a bit too loose, like I had no shape but it's still a cute shirt just should have went a size down. But nonetheless I am happy about my buys and can't wait for my bigger order from UO to come, should be either tomorrow or the day after.



















oops my feet got in the pic, eww ugly feet...






















what i bought:

behind the user name

Well this is like my first blog that I am planning to keep up with. Just something for personal use, like a journal. The meaning behind dragonjade88 is something I have picked since middle school. When I first started an e-mail account I had to find a account name and dragonjade88 happen to be it. It consists of the Chinese zodiac I was born in the year of, part of my Chinese name, and obviously the year I was born. It's really simple, and I have kept the user name since. I must admit it's a little embarrassing to tell people my e-mail since it sounds a bit lame but I don't care, it's something easy to remember and it comprises of what I am :x

okay that's all and yay to my first blog on here~!
