LOUIS VUITTON HAUL and REVIEWS

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I last posted. I've been enjoying making videos more lately so I kinda have neglected this blog. I feel like I can say things more freely and more openly with my videos!  I've been sharing my new-found love with the fashion house Louis Vuitton. Please do come visit my channel and say hi!

Louis Vuitton Handbag Organizer

BAG ORGANIZER - Original Club 

NEVERFULL MM - Louis Vuitton

 

Not too long ago, I shared on my channel that I finally got my very first Louis Vuitton bag. I went with the classic Neverfull MM in Monogram with pivone interior. Right after I got the bag, I went ahead and ordered a bag organizer after compiling all the research. This one is from Original Club, and it fits perfectly inside the MM size. I've posted a complete review on the bag organizer on my channel. 

The bag organizer is made out of this thick felt that gives the bag structure and shape. It makes my life so much easier and organized. The bag organizer really makes me love the bag even more. Although the quality of the bag organizer is somewhat questionable after I ordered a second one for my Speedy 30, I still highly recommend this particular one for the Neverfull MM.

The bag organizer is shipped from Thailand, so it takes about 1-2 weeks for shipping. I have a 50-50 (good/bad) experience with Original Club products, but this very first organizer is what got me hooked in the first place.

Life is Too Short | My Very First Louis Vuitton Neverfull Bag

LOUIS VUITTON Neverfull MM, OLD NAVY Everyday coat, and mid-rise rockstar jeans (similar) 

Tax season is starting to get to me, which is not bad considering it has been 6 weeks in. I've been working on weekends, so the little time I have on weekend becomes even more precious. Just about a week before my working Saturday started, we visited this nursery in search for lavender plants. We've been having some "cat problem" and by problem I mean the neighbors' cats literally just pooped everywhere on our front yard and backyard. We heard that lavender plants are supposed to help repel animals. Long story short, it didn't work but we get a nice looking lavender in front of our window now. It was a beautiful nursery with a lot of different plants.








If you follow me on my channel, you know that not too long ago I just got my very first Louis Vuitton bag. I had been wanting the iconic Neverfull bag for years. I finally pulled the trigger and bought it. I had been eyeing the bag since I was still in college, and I can finally afford it with my own money! I took the new bag out on our little shopping trip and to the nursery.

Recent Update | San Francisco Travel Guide, Stolen Louis Vuitton, Buying Preloved Luxury Bags, Eye Brow Waxing

Hello everyone! Sorry for being MIA. I just moved, and I'm still transitioning with the move and my work. It's still a mess at home. We still need to do a fix here an there, but it's getting there!  I find that it is so hard to get inspired when everything around me is chaotic. Nevertheless, I am committed to be back on regular schedule fairly soon! Stay tuned!

Meanwhile, check out my latest videos on my channel!

One of them has been getting a lot more attention lately. It's about my "stolen" wallet. I still don't know what's going on, tbh. Watch it to know what I'm talking about!

My fiancee and I also worked hard on our very first travel video. We both love exploring new places, and living relatively close to San Francisco, there's always new places to visit. Check out our very first attempt to a travel guide =)

And if you've been following my Instagram, you could tell my latest fondness of luxury leather goods. I bought some preloved from ebay and a website called Trendlee. Check out my experiences!

                 

And, if you dread going to have your eye brows done at the salon, try doing it yourself with this Sally Hansen Waxing Kit. I have a tutorial of how I do it!

Beauty Review | Amazing Cosmetics Concealer Corrector

    I really think under-eye concealer is one of the key things that makes a difference. On my good days, I can get away without wearing foundation, but  adding some under-eye concealer to brighten up the area really helps in making me more awake and put together. I usually grab the Maybelline Instant age rewind dark circle treatment, but on days when I want extra coverage and extra flawless look, I go with Amazing concealer/corrector from Amazing Cosmetics. This is a relatively new find for me, but it's instantly become a favorite. I demonstrate how I apply it in my video, and you can see the difference side by side.

Wet N Wild Au Naturel Palettes | Dupe for Naked Palettes?

Last weekend, I came across the Wet N Wild Au Naturel palettes at Walmart. There was a sign on the shelf "exclusive at Walmart". That sign and the very affordable price tag of $5.62 got me hooked. There was only two options, Nude Awakening and Bare Necessities. I picked up Nude Awakening simply because it was the only one left on the shelf. I didn't think it was gonna be resemble the Naked palette at all. I was just convinced that Wet N Wild is amazing drugstore brand. It doesn't sacrifice quality for price tag. They kill it when it comes to eyeshadows. 

                                              

I fell in love in the first swatch! The next day I came back to Walmart and picked up Bare Necessities. It was that good. Especially with $5.62, you can never go wrong with that. I did a demo/tutorial/rave video on the Nude Awakening. At the time I shot that video, I still didn't realize that it could be a dupe of the Naked 3. Naked palettes have 12 shades, and Au Naturel have 10 shades on the palette.  I'm not saying that these palettes have the same exact shades of the Urban Decay most coveted palettes, but some of them are so darn similar. I'll let the pictures speak for itself. 

Nude Awakening & Naked 3 

What's New at Sephora | The Estée Edit

I was just browsing around Sephora website, per usual when I stumbled across the newest line, the Estée Edit by Estée Lauder. I haven't heard anyone talk about it before, so I was intrigued and decided to pick some things from the line to try myself. I guess this is the company's way to target the younger market. They even have Kendall Jenner as the face of the line on Sephora website. 

I've talked all about it on my video, and here are some close up pictures and swatches. 

Sephora VIB Sale Haul | Holiday Gift Ideas

Hi everyone, it has been hectic as I'm flying home in 2 days. I have been doing some packing and last minute shopping. I also still need to tidy up my place so I won't come back to a mess. Here's the last video I posted on my channel. I had been saving up for this annual VIB sale, and I'm so happy with what I got. I haven't tried everything yet, but I will give you updates as I do.

I also have plans for upcoming videos for this month that I am excited about. Some of them involve my family! Yay! I hope you have a wonderful December!

Ann Taylor Classic Trench Coat

Ann Taylor Trench Coat

I've tried quite different kinds of trench coat, and none really quite worked for me without any additional work done.  I know Ann Taylor has its own version of trench coat, but I missed the boat last year. I finally picked it up this year, and I am quite pleased with the measurement. 

For once, it has both regular and petite sizing. I always opt with petite sizing whenever possible because it usually has better fit for me length and width-wise. 

Sorry for the blurry picture. I accidentally erased the other pictures. The coat falls just a little bit on top of my knees which is more flattering for someone who's 5'2" like me. A few inches longer, then I would look like I'm in someone else's coat. Watch my video to see the demo and more detailed review. 

TooFaced Born This Way Foundation

I've heard great things about the foundation, and I couldn't wait to try for myself. In the video, I show you the application process and how the foundation wears through out the day. I gave updates every several hours to report on how the foundation performs. Initial comparison, as you can see from the picture, it gives instant flawless coverage. It doesn't feel heavy at all. I didn't feel like I was wearing foundation. It is so light yet so full coverage. I am impressed!

Only after one application

I still continue to use it, and I still love it to this day. The finish is very natural and it's the type of foundation that I can use everyday without looking too much.

Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody Bag

This is one of my favorite finds for this coming Fall. The style reminds me of the Boy Chanel flap bag that I absolutely adore. This is a more affordable alternative that offers great quality and style.
I was in defense at first whether to keep the bag or not, but I decided to keep it because the style is just so versatile. It instantly dresses up my outfit even when I'm just wearing a plain white tee and boyfriend jeans. Love this bag!
Nordstrom is currently having its end-of-summer sale for 40% off. Although this bag is for the coming Fall, they actually have something similar in different color and pattern. It's currently 40% off. Go check it out!

April Favorites 2015

Nope, not that one. 

It's my April favorites time!

Featured in my videos several things I enjoyed in the month of April.

Grateful at Work and Drugstore Makeup for Beginners

Happy Saturday!

As a tax accountant, my life is about to get crazy for the next two and a half months as tax season is finally here. Sense my excitement there ;) 

For some reason, I feel more at ease and not as frantic as I had been for the last couple of years. Even in my sea of tax returns that I need to get done, I try to always remember this

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord..."

-Colossians 3:23a

I was reminded God is my boss. He is my boss' boss. He is my boss' boss' boss. He is the ultimate boss whom I'm really working for. Even in my most stressful, I am reminded that I do all this for Him, and the really comforts me. Working for the ultimate boss who cares for my well-being. I have a purpose at work, and I know He has great things planned for me, including my work.

This is another video featuring my drugstore favorites. I've tried out quite a lot of different makeup brands and products, and I understand how overwhelming it could be for people who are just trying to use makeup. I started using makeup in my senior year of college. I was so overwhelmed of the choices, but grateful of all the beauty recommendations from the youtubers and bloggers I came across. Hope this helps you, too!

Products mentioned:
Rimmel Lasting 25 hr foundation
Rimmel Stay Matte Long lasting pressed powder
Rimmel Natural bronzer - sun light
NYX blush - rose garden
Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush - hot tamale
Lorac Behind the scenes eye primer (the only thing not drugstore!)
Wet 'n Wild trio - walking on eggshells
Cover Girl lash blast volume mascara
Revlon Lip Butter - peach parfait

Thank you for reading/watching!

Have a great weekend!

What's In My Bag | Coach Legacy Mini Tanner

I had a video featuring this bag on my old channel, but this just shows how much I love the bag. It has been my staple piece, and I get many compliments for the bag. Even my boyfriend who doesn't pay attention to this kind of thing agrees. This bag was a splurge for me, but I'm glad I did. Sadly, the bag is no longer available, but here' s another Coach bag that I've been eyeing and pretty similar to this (currently on sale!).

Hope you enjoy the video!

Makeup Shakeup | My Current Lipsticks in Rotation

I have quite some makeup as the result of "collecting" them over the years. I try to make sure that I give them the same amount of love that they deserve. haha..Basically, I try not to let any of them go to waste without ever being used. I separate the ones I want to use, put them on seen places and rotate them every now and then. I like lip products the most, but then again most of people do. They give instant change/boost of color to your face. Here are the 10 that are currently in my rotation. Some new, some old.

Thanks for reading/watching!

December Favorites 2014

Happy Saturday!

I hope you all are enjoying the new year so far! I've been spending mine with a lot of sleepin-in and laziness. The weather has dropped down, way down. The cold is currently a bit extreme for where I live making me not want to do anything. But I managed to get my self up and shoot a video.
Here's my favorites for the month of December. I hope I will be able to do this more often. =)

Tried anything new lately?
What's your favorite?

So here's a video instead of a usual blog post!

Thanks for watching!

Any scent recommendation from Bath & Body Works?

Beauty Review: em by Michelle Phan

Guess what? I finally got my hands on the EM products, a new makeup line by Michelle Phan. First of all, kudos to Michelle Phan for making it so far. I'm just so inspired having listened to her success story. 

I gotta admit I had my doubts whenI first heard about her launching a makeup line. I thought it would be another gimmicky products that's not gonna worth the hype. When it launched, I browsed online for reviews and it does have  its pros and cons. Being a beauty enthusiast that I am, I  decided to give it a try and see  it for myself. 

What's in My Beach/Pool Bag?

I just posted my first youtube video last night. 

I've been watching this type of videos, and they're fun to watch. I went swimming yesterday, and decided to create a quick video for you guys.

Check it out! =)
