I remembered the password to this thing!! sorry guys, i know it's been what, 3 months?! UNACCEPTABLE. I apologize, but there's been so much going on in my life and I'm too busy trying to deal with it in the real world, much less talking about it in cyberspace. Anyway, school is in full swing and I've already racked up 6 absent days!!! Kickass!! I absolutely love being sick. (Note my obvious sarcasm) More posts (hopefully!!) soon, if I don't die from all my makeup work, that is...
Love and peace, doves and geese,

MIA...again!
Hey guys! I'm probably not going to be posting for a few since it's finals week and I do kinda wanna pass my classes. But, you know, only kinda...
There's also going to be lots of shit I have to deal with since I am now on student council and have to help manage prom and all that jazz...it's so much fun, but reeeally time consuming and I really am just GO GO GO!!
But I have lots of stuff coming up since it's going to be SUMMER and I'll have loads of free time. (Yesssss) Hopefully I can get my camera situation figured out and maybe post a pic tutorial on some looks? I also am looking into making a type of video series on youtube...I'm just trying to figure out what looks I'd want to tape and stuff.
OOOO! Also, product reviews. Those are always fun. I'm testing some products right now, so I can have them up for all y'all soon. Very soon.
I'm going to go take a nap now. Have a huuuuuuuge headache. Finals have started off horribly. Completely bombed my math final, that's for sure. I didn't even finish. So now I have to come in early tomorrow and finish it. Fan-fucking-tastic. Spanish....mehhh. Hopefully I got a low B or at least a C on it.
I'll see you guys in 3 days! Wish me luck!

Why is it that....
...everytime I befriend a guy, they end up falling for one of my other friends and I don't end up friends with them anymore?
Seriously!! I've had 3 guy friends now who have liked one of my friends, told ME, and after I hooked them up, they stop talking to me.
Let's get one thing straight: I'm not bitter. I am truly happy for my friends when they find someone they really like. But the selfish part of me would like to keep my friends too, you know? One friend in particular feels uncomfortable when I hang around her boyfriend (who was my friend before they started dating) because she doesn't want to make him feel awkward. HELLO? I was his friend first, I think I could be able to tell for myself whether or not he was uncomfortable or not.
Maybe it's not me at all. Maybe it's the guy. I guess it's just one of those insecurity things lurking its ugly head.
Call it immaturity, call it high school drama, call it whatever you want. Have any one of you guys felt this way before? Leave me a comment with your advice or pent up frustration!

I'm alive!!
Oh me oh my. Exactly HOW long has it been since I last posted? 2 months, eh? Hm...
Well..I apologize for that. I've been extraordinarily busy with personal matters, as well as school and whatnot. Tomorrow is my confirmation though!! Yessssss. After $180 and six months of HELL stuck in a room for 3 1/2 hours learning about everything BUT confirmation, it's all about to end!!! I'm gonna miss the people, but not the classes...
On top of that, it's almost the end of my school year. I'm gonna be a senior next year. Eeeeee, that's going to be weird. Leaders of the school...I'm not sure my class is ready ahah. But I still have to take my ACT's and sat subject tests and all the bullshit. ew, fuck that.
I wish I was able to write more and share with you guys all thats been happening with me. Uhh..I was also elected vice-president of my class!! :D No one ran against us, but WE STILL WON so it was all good.
I'll make sure to post more now that the school year is winding down. Lots more entries and beauty related posts, of course!! Loves you all.
Love and peace, doves and geese,

So...I guess it's kinda a bad idea to do these kinda blogs without a camera...hmm...well my mom can't find the fucking charger on my camera so the only kind of pictures I can do is with my phone.
My first formal post will be a review of the Laneige skin products that I have. For those of you who:
a. Aren't Korean and
b. don't read Asian beauty blogs...
Laneige is a popular Korean skincare brand. It's name actually means "snow" in French. I find that so adorable for some reason ^__^ You can only find Laneige in Amore stores (which I have within walking distance near me, as well as a Face Shop!), but you can also buy it online. However, considering those websites are retailers based in Asia, I imagine the shipping charges would be atrocious.
Since most Asian skin types tend to be acne-prone and on the oily side, Laneige's gentle exfoliators and light-weight, yet effective moisturizers and emulsions, are well suited to these types of problems. Their name, Laneige, personifies their mission to create crystal clear skin.
Up for trial
First...
This is basically a toner. Isn't the packaging gorgeous?! It's glass...bet it would be a bitch to drop on the floor though.
Also, it's HUGE. You get a lot of product. 16 mL. Been using this for about...a month? Once a day, and there's still a ton left.
I forgot the price of this...sorry! However, Laneige products will generally run you about $30+. Not the most expensive skincare line, but it's way more than what you'd find at the drugstore for skincare. .
The smell of this toner is really nice and fresh...kinda like..a way lighter scent of Listerine..but better..ahaha I don't know :/ It's great at getting excess dirt out of your pores, but it's soo gentle. Usually toners irritate my sensitive skin, and this is the only one that doesn't do that. It also doesn't dry out my skin, or leave it feeling tight. I'd definitely repurchase this.
the opening
NEXT
Now this is a gel moisturizer. Due to this, it feels light and cooling on the skin. I can see this being a great one for those with oily skin, or for those that need a light summer moisturizer. However, since I have combination skin, it doesn't give me ENOUGH moisture. I still had dry patches on my face in the time I was using it. I'm going to finish this bottle and probably try the pore emulsion next, since I like how that sinks into my skin better.
OH! That's another thing I wanted to mention. The packaging. It's beautiful as well, so nice to display on your vanity. However, this is also a $30 moisturizer, with only 1.7 fl. oz. WTF?! It's so big looking, but that's just the packaging. So..that sucks :(
Here's the consistency of it
I forgot to include this in the group shot, but heres a picture of the pore clear cleansing foam.
and yes that's a sample of my purity made simple sample from sephora ahah.
Now this cleanser...it's white with little blue beads in it. It's an okay cleanser. Nothing WOW-tacular (that's totally a word) about it though. I think I actually prefer my clean and clear daily scrub cleanser to this. But it works well with the pore refiner...I'm not sure I'd repurchase this though. It's too expensive for a so-so product.
And now..the creme de la creme
THELANEIGESTRAWBERRYYOGURTPEELINGGELOMG
No surprise here, but this was the first Laneige product I've ever tried, and it is probably their most popular product. I cannot say enough good things about this. First off, it's a peeling gel. You apply it to your skin and just rub it in, and soon your dead skin cells form and fall off. Awesome. Afterward, it leaves your skin soft and glowy. The smell is incredible, like strawberry yogurt (duh) and it's pink! And the packaging is pretty as well.
You also don't need a lot of it for it to work, so it lasts a while. It's also contains real strawberry seeds, and it's gentle. Gentle enough to use everyday. I use this after washing my face twice a week, and even if I'm too lazy to wash my face at all lol. Although, I think it's more to get the dead skin cell off rather than cleaning out your pores. Overall, I definitely will repurchase this.
After
...dude..that's my dead skin.
I hope this was helpful. I'm going to do my skin care routine post next, so all y'all can see how I incorporate these products in my LIFE. aha. Kay..later
