[FOTD] Mr Mr inspired!

Good morning lovelies!

Lately I’ve been inspired by SNSD’s MV MR MR. I’ve been loving their dewy skin look and on point lips. They make people look at their lips, and they look is so fresh that I have to do it!

So here’s my finished look, if you want to see how I did it continue reading!

Image

Start off with bare skin, MOISTURIZEEE ITTT. Because it’s really dry and winter-y still but I like to pretend it’s spring.

Image

Next I used;

Lancome La Base (primer)

Lancome Teint Miracle in Buff 2

Benefit’s Boi-ing (01)

(***lol it was really sunny)

Image

After my base I did slight contour and blush anddd my brows!

Soft brows using Clinique Brow Powder in Soft brown!

NARS Orgasm/ Laguna for blush/contour

Image

After that I did a slight winged eyeliner and tightlined my eyes.

Mascara – Lancome Hypnose Drama

Image

Finally I finished off with Benefit’s Watts Up! to highlight and give off my dewy skin look. And on my lips I’m using Antwerp from NYX matte lip cream (my spring favorite)!

Spring Lips Ft. NYX soft Matte Lip creams and Revlon Matte Balms

In this post I’ll just be showing you my favorite spring lip colors of the season so far!

Let’s start with my favorite from NYX.

Soft matte lip cream in Antwerp. It’s a beautiful pinkish orange color and it makes me feel fresh as spring even if it’s still cold outside. I feel like my lips feel ready to embrace the cold and bring forth warmth!

Image

Next I have a a nude color on my lips from NYX called Stockholm, it’s pretty cute the line consists of city names. But this is my second favorite nude lip color besides OCC lip tar in memento!

Image

Next up are the Revlon Matte Balms, my absolute favorite for this spring is Audacious! It’s the perfect fresh orange – red color that’s more orange. It’s wonderful.

andddd striking because danggggggg it’s striking.

Gradient Lip Tutorial Ft. OCC Lip Tar Memento

So after my previous post I got a few requests on how to do my lip, so here it is! 🙂

How I do a gradient lip like this:

Image

First start off with nice bare lips with a chapstick of your choice, I’m currently using EOS lip balm in tangerine. (Got my no make up make up on today)

Image

Next hide those lips with your favorite concealer- I’m using Benefit Boi-ing (01)

Image

Next I’ll show you how I personally make a gradient lip. By dotting the OCC lip tar and then using the lip brush to feather out out the color I create a more natural gradient.

Image

Image

And finally just apply a clear lip gloss, for that nice shiny lip effect!

Beauty Post Ft. The Face Shop

Hello everyone!

Sorry for my realllllyyyyy long break, haha. Today I won’t be talking about food unfortunately and if you were only interested in my food stop reading now or maybe continue if you’re bored!

If you want to see how I turned into this.

Image

So my new hobby lately besides food has been make up, and I recently got some new items from The Face Shop.

I’ll be featuring 3 out of 5 items today.

First The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Design My Eyebrow in shade (05) which is the darkest grey brown as recommended by the store associates. I also got the Lovely ME:EX You & Face Blusher in (09) cinnamon dream, which is their darkest contour color and their Eyelashes (01)? No idea they were the “smallest” looking ones so I thought they’d be more natural.

First Date in Niagara Falls Canada

Wow, it has been a while! Though no one really reads my blog I figured maybe I should update it for myself. Sometimes I like to browse through all the yummy things I had before.

***warning lots of love***

So I spent the weekend with my boyfriend (ahhh the same guy who was mentioned in my last post, hehe) in Niagara Falls and during that time we had some amazing meals together.

Let’s start off with dinner. 🙂 

For dinner we went to AG. Atmosphere : Romantic 

I had the “Fork to Field” menu which consisted of an appetizer, entree and dessert! 

Image

This was the duck….I regret not taking a picture of the menu (haha I feel so silly now about how nervous I was about our first date, ah first dinner together 🙂 ❤ ) I found this dish to be a bit dry but it was still really good. 

Image

 

My entree was a lamb dish. Okay if anything I can vouch that it tasted great. The lamb was juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. Seriously it was perfect. I would eat this again in a heartbeat. 10/10. And it had a piece a cornbread (located in the back of the picture) which was hot to my surprise, but I’m not fond of dry foods, still tasty though.

But like always best for last was the DESSERT. THE. TIRAMISU. WAS. AMAZING. I wish I could convey how amazing it was, how it was literally dessert perfection but I can’t. 

Image

 

I can’t believe I didn’t think I would want dessert because I was so stuffed at the end on the meal. But the tiramisu was perfection. And that’s all I want to say about it.  

In the end AG will always have a spot in my heart because of who I had the dinner with. But the food was fantastic and I would definitely go back there again.  ❤ 

 

Next would be the lunch at Taki, a authentic Japanese restaurant. Yummy. The Japanese decor was super cute, we had a cute private booth together.

 For starters we got the Gyoza which was featured in the Tapas menu runs till February I believe. I was so hungry……so you get to see a picture of one of them. 

Image

I got the Taki lunch meal with the grilled mackerel, it came with miso soup and salad (not shown) and also deep fried tofu.

Image

 

Image

First off I want to say that this was the biggest unexpected meal ever, seriously I didn’t think the portions would be so huge. Eyes bigger than the mouth whaaaa.

The grilled mackerel was great, all the grilled fish awesomeness that I had expected (and wanted). The surprising part came from the potato salad pictured on upper right hand corner, the spicy mayo complimented the potato salad well. I need to figure out how to make spicy mayo.

Note to self- youtube spicy mayo.

The tofu was a bit plain but oh well, I was there for the fish anyways.

 

I came to the lunch starving, and left ready to roll around and succumb to my food coma. Overall a really great lunch, but you know it was really who I ate with that made it great. 

 

His dinner at AG which was the rabbit, new to the menu! And his appetizer!

Week 1 Boston

First week at Boston university and it has been pretty eventful so I footed should list the things I’ve done so far!

1. Moved into Danielsen Hall, or in the words of Jeff, Narnia. It’s literally the east end of Boston university, I have no idea why I was put there but a few things you should know about the dorm;
The view can be a hit or miss, other buildings v. Boston skyline v. Charles river
It’s next to a ka-jillion MIT frats, yeah we’re so far that MIT frat surround us!

The nearest place to eat is at Myles standish hall, but it ends with my freshmen year as they’re building a new building with eventually the biggest dining hall at BU!

The rooms are maze like but very nice!

I’m in a fairly large triple! With a walk in closet and everything, so it’s pretty satisfactory!

What I did this week:

Used my unlimited meal plan to it’s fullest!

Pros: just go in get coffee, fruits, or snacks at any time in ANY dining hall!

Cons: about $400 less dining points (to be used at the gsu) but I dot live close to central campus anyways!!

Went to two frat parties and what I’ve learned is;

MIT frats are dry for the first two weeks, but still VERY fun they have good atmosphere and music! Dancing was fun!

BU’s Asian frat party is the polar opposite, themed parties. Girls get in free before some time and guys have to pay $5.
It was just drinking, and the music an atmosphere sucked! The music literally came from a MacBook pro! And it was in a basement!

Chocolate city is AMAZING, $10 to get in and you should definitely go, I haven’t personally gone yet but I hope to soon!

Classes;

Chem101, try to get prof. Abrams, I’m going to two chem lectures at this pout my normal one and then his! He’s an awesome professor and you understand him!

Math123, borinngggggg I should’ve taken that offer to go into calc2 but hopefully now I get a high GPA

Writing100 definitely get professor Campbell!!! She’s amazing and a very interest teacher! She teaches king Arthur!

EK100 engineering, definitely go to them! Loads of free food! Nom nom nom….even with unlimited food plan I still love it!

Best dining halls:

First: west

Second/ third are Myles and Warren!

Also for jobs:

Don’t work at a dining hall, it sucks I quit after the first day!!! Hahaha!

But good news I actually got the monitor position at Ingalls which is an engineering study lounge! Looking forward to it!

Well hope to type a blog periodically! Hope you guys enjoyed!

At the airport

So I’m early 40 minutes before my plane leaves because I completely forgot the buffalo international airport is really just a small airport with 26 gates… Unlike the bigger airports I’ve been to (Newark, LAX, or logan!) so I figured right now would r an awesome time to blog! Because I have like 5 readers!! But I love each and every one of you except stas right now! Because he has been AWOL for two whole days! I don’t feel the love! But yes I love going to the airport and checking in!! I got a seat in the second row!!! I have no idea if thats good or bad I don’t remember anymore but it makes me feel like an important person!
Anyways I’ll just leave you guys a photo of me in the airport!

Last night in Buffalo..

For some odd reason I’m feeling overly anxious and excited to be going back to college, I mean yes I did go to the BU summer bridge program, but going back this time is FOR REAL, no 17 person group filled with anxious young kids, but this time thousands of freshmen, ready to take BU by storm will be there.

And I have to say I’m a bit scared and excited, excited for my new life but at the same time scared for it. I hope I don’t change much as a person I like being a Doris – so hopefully I’ll stay the same!

I’m also anxious to meet new people – MY ROOMMATES!!!!!! So excited to go meet them tomorrow, I also have some worries on the back burner, as I left some stuff with the bu bridge pals (thank you andrew and iyana if you ever read this post, I forever love you! )!

Another worry is what if I don’t meet any friends – but that worry is just me being stupid, so hopefully all goes well, I think another reason why I’m anxious is because I’m going alone this time to boston. That fact by itself is a little daunting but hopefully it’ll be okay!

I hope to blog and Danielsen Hall during my stay at BU because as a freshy going into a not so well known dorm it was FLIPPING hard to get any info on the dorm, so hopefully my blog will enlighten future freshies going to BU and then not being put in warren/west/major freshmen dorm.

But hopefully my experience will still be the same – or greater than those who go to a major dorm, who knows maybe I’ll like my smaller dorm that happens to be 15 minutes away from central campus… (probably not, but I’ll be BFFs with the BUS! ) and newbury st.!!! ❤ Shopping ftw!

Lastly my worry is about my finger painting skills as I can officially only do one hand and my toe nails, hopefully I’ll improve.

P.S note to sell BUY YOUR TEXTBOOKS.
