Lion Cut

Last Saturday I brought my cat, Cheesecake to "The Groom Room" for lion cut. I was pretty excited for Cheese because I've never seen him being all shaved up. It was basically for my own entertainment purpose (I know I m an evil person).

So this is my cat's "before" look.







But on the other hand, I brought Cheese there because he's getting too furry and all tangled up! Since this was my cat's first time getting the lion cut, the store owner (Jay Jay) told me that after getting a lion cut, I would have to come back every 6 months. Hearing that, all I can see is money flying away from me. haha.

After grooming, I couldn't help but kept patting Cheese! Because his furs were so comfy! The good thing was that Cheese SEEM pretty satisfied with his lion cut. But the bad thing was that Muji, my sister's cat, kept hissing at him...

His "After" look

I love touching him now. *shiver* I sounded like a creep here =_=;;

April 2012 GlossyBox

This month I didn't really have a lot of high hopes towards what's within the box...
I was somewhat annoyed that the box arrived late AGAIN. I understand they've just launched but its important that they send their products to customers on time!

So here are the products for this month *drum roll*:

1. Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer
2. Elizabeth Grant Skin Care Shower Gel (got it in Apricot scent)
3. Wella Brilliance Conditioner Fine to Normal
4. Wella Brilliance Treatment Fine to Normal
5. Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara
Bonus: Marcelle BB Cream Beauty Balm











The first item that I saw when I open the box was the AVEENO daily moisturizer, I literately couldn't help myself from frowning and saying "AGAIN!?" out loud. I mean, I don't have high hopes for this month's box but minimum I was hoping for more alternatives to try out different products from different brands...

I just wish they won't out put so much hair products into the box.. since I can't really use most of them with my sensitive scalp.. more make up products would be nice for a change!

April Haul

Beauty Blender 

After reading all the raves, I can't help but to give it a try! 

Whitening Lighting

I've always been bothered that my teeth is a bit yellow since I love drinking coffee! 

This product seems more simple than white stripes so we'll see how it goes.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind (Light)

Laura Mercier Concealer (#2)

Color Tattoo Eyeshadow (Bad to the Bronze)

Swatches

Maybelline, Laura Mercier, Color Tattoo

The Laura Mercier Concealer looks very orange in the swatch, but it blends nicely onto the under eye area. The texture is very creamy and less drying than the Bobbi Brown Concealer. I used to really enjoy the Bobbi Brown Concealer, but recently it hasn't been working out!

Stila Eyeliner (Topaz)

Perfect colour for the bottom waterline.

Sephora Airbrush & Mineral Brush

I have been using the Sephora Airbrush for liquid foundation. It gives a nice smooth finish and the foundation is less likely to look cakey. 

Have you tried any of these products?

April 2012 Glymm Box

I'm still not impressed with the Glymm Box so far. I guess it's hard to like every single item, since it's not personally matched. This month's box was more for hair and body?

Products:

• LUCIA - Soap No6. Wild Ginger & Fresh Fig Soap

The soap gave this box an overall nice scent, which is a plus. =P Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of bar soaps, so I won't be trying it. 

• ATELIER COLOGNE - Orange Sanguine Fragrance

I hate this kind of packaging for fragrance samples. It's so hard to open and I don't like the scent getting on my fingers (which it did).... The fragrance is as the name says, orange! It is a nice scent, but I personally wouldn't wear it. It's basically the orange smell you get on your fingers after you've peeled an orange!

• FREE YOUR MANE - Sulfate Free Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner

I'm excited to try this shampoo and conditioner out since it's sulfate free. I'm quite sensitive to shampoos now, where I easily get itchy scalps if I use the wrong ones. Will update later once I've tried it out. 

• MAI COUTURE - Social Gloss (G'Vinity)

A pearly-light beige sparkly lip gloss? Don't have the urge to try it yet though... 

• NUME - $100 Gift Certificate

I have a hair straightener and hair dryer from them, and so far so good. Excited to put this to good use later on!

Let me know how you liked the April Gymm Box!

"Marcelle BB Cream" Review

I purchased the Marcelle's BB Cream in the colour "light to medium." The BB Cream is said to have 8 in 1 benefits, which I'm sure you've already read about it so I'll just cut to the review. 

Pros:

- sleek and convenient packaging 

- creamy & easy to smooth out 

- matches & evens out skin tone (I have a yellow-base/ light skin tone) 

- no fragrant, good for sensitive skin

- decent price

There was a 20% off on Marcelle products at London Drugs and I had a $2 off coupon, so final price came out to around $18. 

Cons:

- very light coverage, it only evens out your skin tone like a makeup base! 

It slightly faded the redness around my cheek area, which is usually my greatest concern when it comes to coverage. If you are someone who likes a bit of coverage, this isn't for you. 

- dry patches 

Dry patches sometime appears around my mouth area and nose after I apply it. 

I don't think I would repurchase this product, since I like a bit more coverage. But I do enjoy using this product when i need to look decent fast, either to the gym or out for a quick munch. I usually wear it with some concealer and blush to make me look more awake!  

How did you like the Marcelle BB Cream?

Updates

Finally done with exams, and getting the next four months off. It's that time again when I need to think of what I want to do with my life, work or school? I still don't have a clear path for the future, which is starting to get bothersome. Think think think!

Going to try blogging more now that I have more time. New posts coming soon =)

Hearing this song just makes my heart broken and tears begin to fall down.
Its amazing what music can do to our emotions.

Two people falling in love for each other sure is a wonderful thing.
But having to realize that the person that you've loved no longer loves you...is just devastating.
