BB Cream, Dr. Jart, Lipstick, Makeup, Rouge Volupte, Yves Saint Laurent
Ok this is my third post of the day but I just had to share this great information. I’ve been a fan of BB Cream for a while now and after running out of my last one which cost me an arm and a leg ($100), I decided to give Dr. Jart a try after using a sample which I thought was wonderful.
First of all, I only paid a fraction of what I had paid for the other one yet this one is far better! omg. It has SPF 24/PA++ (not sure what PA is for?), Whitening, and Anti-wrinkle functions along with a decent coverage- all in one! I wore foundation for a while because I wanted coverage but since I started going to the gym again recently, I put it aside as it can get really gross when you sweat a lot. Compared to the one I had used before, this one doesn’t have that grayish- tone to it, which is great. It’s definitely not as thick thus coverage isn’t as good but so what… use a concealer if you want extra coverage- hey, you just saved almost $70! lol
So for those of you in the market for a BB Cream, look no further! fyi, i picked up mine at a local Korean beauty store called Palace Beauty. Sorry, not sure where else you can get it if there isn’t one nearby… :T
Another of my favorites… I can go on and on about these. #1 in Nude Beige is currently on my shopping list- ok, a wish list. 
I’ll be honest. I initially was attracted because of the packaging. omg. are you kidding me? it’s got a mirror on the cap! When I picked one up at the counter to try, I just knew we were meant to be together- it just felt so right. As if the packaging weren’t awesome enough, it caught me by surprise when glided on my lips. It felt like silk! so moisturizing and ridiculously pigmented yet dries matt, which is just wonderful. And it’s got SPF. What else can you ask for? I mean I’m no lipstick fanatic by any means (come on, the only lipstick I had purchased with my own money before this was the Mac Myth, well, two of them), yet this is just amazing! I’d definitely buy another or more despite the price. Ok- maybe just one more. it’s just so wonderful I think every girl deserves to have one in their purse. I think it’s a perfect gift. The next birthday girl on the list will surely be getting one from me- aww so excited already! haha yet I don’t even know who the birthday girl is.

Alexander Wang, Chopard, Diane von Furstenberg, Dior, Giorgio Armani, Guess, Harper's Bazaar, Janis Savitt, Jennifer Ouellette, Krizia, Lee Angel, Moncler, Prada, Vera Wang, Yves Saint Laurent
I may be a day behind, yet these remain stylish in my fashion dictionary:
Pantsuit by Giorgio Armani, Necklace by Janis by Janis Savitt
Love the silhouette.
I’m a huge fan of a mannish outfit like above, especially with a touch of feminism illustrated by the precious pearls resting on a beautifully tailored black pant suit.
Sweater and Skirt by Vera Wang, Necklace by Roxanne Assoulin for Lee Angel
Navy blue and bright orange are a perfect match made in heaven; Seriously diggin’ the combination these days. The green/orange necklace and the orange polish add final touches to the look, of course.
Blouse and Skirt by Prada, Headband by Jennifer Ouellette, Earrings and Necklace by Chopard, Bag by Yves Saint Laurent
I adore how elegant she looks here. The hair and makeup play a critical role.
Cardigan by Moncler, Shirt by Guess, Skirt by Alexander Wang, Bow by Diane von Furstenberg, Necklaces by Krizia
Lovin’ the red lips and the BOW!!! I wish I lived in a place where people don’t mind me running around in one!
Dress by Dior
Ahhh— I have developed a deep affection towards this leopard print dress after gazing at it for weeks!!! It’s absolutely stunning. The shape, the collar, the pockets, the details, the fabric… pretty much everything about it. Again, her smokey eyes and side-swept curls instantly upgrade the look. Oh, and those leopard bangles are wonderful- definitely elevates the status from ‘beautiful’ to ‘unforgettable’.
