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.

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.
