December 27 2006败家总结 -- 彩妆篇 （下半年） My 2006 Make-up shopping collections (second half year)July
 finally got this MAC blot powder again....it does control the oil pretty well, I use it during the summer.I have this in Medium..the concealer stick is ok...I returned it cuz it came off very easily...
  cute little tined lipbalm..looks cute on the lips when u just applied, but after a while, you will notice there are lines on your lips.....yuck...
August
  I finally traded in the old Chanel liquid foundation and got this one instead. It is dual finish foundation compact, I have it in creme beige / intensity 1.5.
I like this powder foundation, way smoother than the mineral make-ups...I also love the shade of this foundation..
  MAC plushglass, I tried it in the store and I liked it a lot...but...it doesn't look as good in daylight, so I returned it later...
 MAC lip pencil in whirl...very nice color..very neutral...
  Sonia Kashuk lip gloss...actually quite sexy huh...
 I finally switched the other MAC plushglass to this one, this one is called "big kiss", very very nice coral color, very pretty. It is kinda moisturizing, not sticky as their lip glass...i use this quite often these days...
 Jane Iredale purePressed base in golden glow,..it is not as smooth as Chanel dual foundation....i like how they claim their product does not irritate skin...hehe...
I also got MAC studio finish concealer in NC 30...
 September
  I was very interested in Jane Iredale mineral make-up for a while due to all the rave reviews on MUA....
so I finally got the full size foundation....it is ok...I still use it from time to time..
 I also got their blush in dubonnet, this thing is very pigmented, so be very careful when u apply it...
  Finally, I got the Prescriptives Traceless, I have it in level 3...I love it...wonderful tinted moisturizer...way better than Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer.
 got this from hong kong. It is a so so foundation compare to the PX and Armani foundations that I already have.I got it in 104, 103 actually match my skin better..however, I prefer my foundation to be a little bit darker than my facial skin tone, so it could match the rest of my body skin tones better and more evenly..haha
October
 One of my favorite brush. mac 187, very good for applying powder foundations...got it from ebay...
 stila lip gloss set, got it from sephora...it was $28 for 6 of them....how can I say NO???
 sony cp lip gloss, got it from adambeauty...after hearing all the raves about this lip gloss, I purchased it...after the shipping it is $14..it was not as great as I expected(come on,, all those raves?)...it just like another MAC lip gloss to me, nothing special at all..kinda waste time and money on this lip gloss...I would definitely not purchase again...I can just go to MAC counter...
November
 got this for applying false eyelashes...from sephora..
 this heated eyelash curler works great, it just drain the battery super fast though...
 the best eyeshadow base in this world...you have to own one!!!
It will make your eyeshadow show and last all day long...
 lip fusions...$40 bucks for this set...I returned it later....too expensive....
I have enough lip glosses...sigh~~~
   Sephora blockbuster makeup show...I got it for $40 bucks...it is completely sold out in store or online...it is selling for around $80 on ebays right now..haha....I guess I made a smart move on this one....with all the colors here, I guess I dont need to shop for eye shadows for a long time...
 Mac studio mist foundation....very interesting...I only tried it a few times, I still can't write a reviews about this foundation yet...
  love this for my eye brows...the color is perfect for my eye brow, I use this everyday...it is super tiny, very easy to carry around...too bad no brush though...
 I actually finished my theBalm lip gloss, so I bought a new one, the same color--pink my lemonade,..haha...
(BTW, still haven't used that DDf mask yet, my face is still too sensitive to use any stronge cleansing mask)
 heard all the raves about this concealer brush on MUA..finally bought it from walgreens...but, too big for covering my pimples...sucks...I'll stick with my paula dorf lip liner brush to apply concealer for now...
 also bought this mac brush cleanser too...it is ok, not as good as the pink soap...besides, pink soap is way way cheaper...
  got the whole thing on sephora friends & family events..20% off!!!!!!man, they never have any sale for those department brands...
I love the Becca loose powder, super fine!!!
Paul & Joe foundation primer kinda disappointed me....going to return it...maybe..not sure...might keep it just for the SPF..
love the new Dior midnight charms...
 urban decay powder brush, very soft....but I found a new brush replacement, i might trade this one in again...expensive........
 nars torrid blush, my new favorite...very cute color...
 this maybelline dream matte mousse foundation sucks!!!!!!!!!it feels very cheap to touch, and when I applied it on my face, I see dry patches on my face, also the dry lines are very significant...that's not what I am looking for from a foundation...
the dream mousse blush is ok...
covergirl lash exact is a very nice mascara, i use it quite often these days.....
December
(not much make-up shopping and taking pics to update...)
 got those brushes from Michaels, they are wonderful...I am going to use that fluffy white brush to replace urban decay powder brush...this one only cost around $8 bucks.
there are still some shopping to do at the end of this year.....I'll update them later once I take more pics...
 Yeah!!! Finally got Milani eye shadows,blush inluminous and Prestige liquid eyeliner....
I have done some research about eyeliner and eye shadows...those 2 got very good reviews....I also got some Milani lip gloss for the fun of it...all of those are around $18 bucks....not bad huh....(I got milani from ulta for buy 1 got 1 free...:-P, also some extra coupon....hehe)
Milani inluminous blush does look a little bit like Nars orgasm, however, the color doesn't show as much as Nars though...
 Yeah!!!I heard that MAC studio finish concealer palette is out!!! I went there today and pick up a few things from MAC..
Above are Studio Finish concealer palette in medium, MAC gel eyeliner in dipdown, looks super natural on me..good for everyday use...
mineralize skinfish in lightsccapade, a very very nice all over face powder, highlighter..
lastly is MAC powder blush in taupe, I use it for shaping up my face..:-D
 December 26 2006败家总结 -- 彩妆篇 （上半年） My 2006 Make-up shopping collections (first half year)一年了，把我所有买的化妆品都集合在这里吧。。说真的，很多买了并没有真的用呢。。我汗一个！！~~不过明年一定开始经常用，不能浪费钱啊。。
2006 is coming to an end, I have done a lot of shopping this year. Here are all the makeup I bought for this year... Some of them have barely been used since I bought them...what a shame...but don't worry, I will practise my makeup skill more next year...haha...
一月份 January
 下面的大部分唇彩都是在药妆店买的，很喜欢哦。最喜欢的是露得清的唇彩，颜色好，非常滋润，而且不黏哦，好难得啊。
I bought most of those lip gloss from drugstore, and they are wonderful, especially neutrogena lip gloss, it is very moisturizing, pigmented, and also not sticky.  矿物彩妆，还ok吧。目前仍然再用的是MAC的妆前乳 Prep+Prime. Stila的唇彩挺黏的。。
Mineral make up,oh well......I think the I.D. mineral makeup up are ok..I used them a few times, not that amazing.
I love MAC Prep+Prime, a great primer before makeup, I highly recommended.
Stila lip gloss is kinda sticky, I only used it a few times.
 armani的LSF粉底，还用我多说么？ 我的色号是5号。
Armani LSF foundation, do I need to say more? It is one of the best foundation out there.
 Clarins, got them from Macys.. Man, those sales persons there are aggressive.. I returned them to another store, clarins makeup doesn't impress me much.
在Macy's 买的，后来退了。。。。
 I returned the Clarins, and I got Shu Uemura..haha ..the foundation shade is 764 (golden beige)
the blush is p pink 30.
the lipstick...my first ever lipstick, it is 939 pink beige..
 got this from VS online store, this one sucks....don't ever buy it...
February
 got this one for half year, finally returned it back to nordstrom, this foundation is too heavy for me, also the color is too orange.
 MAC limited edition lip gloss...they got too many limited editions....
 got them from sav-on...they were on clearance....
MaxFactor 2000 calorie is good stuff..
 u know, there is times u just buy weird stuff......bonnebell lip gloss is so so....
 This is the best lip gloss ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a lip gloss junkie, this is the best lip gloss I ever have...
 again, just one of those days, u just bought a whole bunch of weird stuff.....still love the maxfactor mascara...but,,where are my O.P.I nail polishes now???
 A closer look to the O.P.I nail polish.
March
 got this one from ebay, it make your eyelid stick together...eyelid glue..it is fun..haha..but not as natural though...my single eyelids are too strong...
 I watched too many Taiwanese fashion TV shows, made me wanna try out those false eyelashes...haha...got them from sephora...the glue works great...MUF false eyelashes are very good, very natural....love it..still haven't really tried the MAC false eyelashes yet...
 This so-called "best eyeliner in the market" actually smudge on me...I'm so sad.........55555555555....where can I find the best smudge proof eyeliners that are good for those oily eyelids???
 Lancome GWP...love the eye cream..haha...opps...makeup only.....
I have to say, the lipstick color is actually quite nice...
 Estee Lauder GWP .....and also MAC lip gloss on the right...I picked that color to match with different color of lipstick, but in reality, I'm too lazy to mixed them up....never mind...
 VS lip gloss..they are ok, watery, doesn't have much pigment and staying power.
 man, love this Bobbi Brown limited edition eye shadow palette....but I actually dunno how to use those colors on my eyelids...555555555 I'm still practising...
 I use this one more often than the eye palette...Bobbi Brown bronzer/blush duo....
 April
 My original shopping purpose was only purchasing clarins fix mascara, I dunno why I also picked up the EL lipstick...still only use it once in a while..
 May
 this one really disappointed me, too watery, doesn't have much lasting moisturizing effect.
 PX Virtual skin, one of the best liquid foundation I have used so far...they have excellent color selections for all skin tones...My shade is 08 Real Sand (Yellow Orange)
 I do follow the trend sometimes....this lip gloss is cool, the color is 4, imagination, very nice neutral pink color..
 this lip gloss is very light, not very sticky, very pigmented...but I don't really like their color selection as much..
 MAC limited edition lip gloss...bought it just thought it was cute, looked like candy....it does smell like candy..however, when i mixed the white with the pink, I looked sick with it on me...
 The face shop lip gloss. I was actually quite excited when I found this store in Newport beach fashion island....this lip gloss is almost identical to theBalm tinted gloss in pink my lemonade.
I do not like this the face shop lip gloss as much, it has some kinds of smell that kinda make me sick when I apply it on my lips...
 got those 2 from adambeauty...I was actually quite disappointed with both products...the maquillage lip essence does not have much moisturizing effect, which does not match its name..however, it is a good lipstick base though, cuz it is light enough..
FF eye brow colors, not a big fan of that little brush, also the colors are not natural, maybe good for those people who colored their hair.
 June
 I like the color and the design of this lip gloss. however, the staying power is too low, it fade away very quickly after I applied it on my lips...You get what you paid for...
 got this mini size lipfusion off ebay..it is ok.....

我2006年的具体败家记录在这个帖子里， 因为一些原因，12月分的败家已经极少记录了。
刚刚又在Victoria's Secret 维多利亚的秘密网站下了$200多美元的订单。。。还记得前段时间也是$200多美元的Sephora彩妆品，头大啊。电器不用说了， thanksgiving后的Black Friday就买了许多电器，还有我给bf买的casio 相机呢。
 Sephora Blockbuster makeup show
 我觉得最最享受的过程就是购物的过程还有等待包裹的过程。收到包裹后很兴奋，但是实际上并没有立即使用每项产品。收到就是收到了。
买那么多东西真的值得么？
电器来说还是值得的，要不买来干什么？相机就是用来拍照的么，特别是我BF经常要拍照片来做reference。还有那些portable hard drive（便携式硬盘），webcam （视频）等，都还是很有用的。特别是slickdeals 或者fatwallet经常教你如何几乎免费买到这些产品。 比如帮bf买了个laser printer（镭射打印机），最后的价格才十几刀，我觉得还是超值的。只是等待rebate的时间很漫长啊。。。不过rebate都已经收到了。。哈哈。。。
鞋子，今年买了够多的鞋子了。人家说鞋子永远不嫌多。不过我是那种买了一双鞋子就会一直穿到烂的那种人。 今年买了3双converse，一双比一双便宜，还是挺开心的。 这种鞋子我平时上学每天都穿，还是值得花钱的。（况且才十几刀，也不是特别贵的）
 （这双才$13刀而已哦，好便宜吧）
买了双Michael Kors的靴子，偶的第一双靴子哦。这个牌子的靴子能70刀买到，我觉得还是超值的。想想原价都200刀呢。可惜我这个胖腿塞了进去就刚刚合适，没有办法再塞进牛仔裤了。。。55555555
 在Ebay拍了一双高跟鞋。。。其实，真的不是故意要拍的。。只是看错题目，以为是Miu Miu的，后来才发现是某不知名的牌子。。亏我还下了几十刀最大值下去，幸好没有人和我抢啊。要不我死定了。。。鞋子收到那天我都很吃惊，都忘记了当初拍下的这双鞋子。打开一看很是惊喜，其实很好看。BF说超级性感呢。。很合脚哦！ 想想我花的几十刀买的Nine West的高跟鞋，5号却还是大了，一直穿不了。。。唉。。。以后真的学精了。
 经验： 象我们这样超级娇小的女生，鞋子size在4--5好徘徊的。推荐你们去Nordstrom或者更加高级的商场看。 一般像Michael Kors或者BCBGirls 的鞋子都会有4号或者5号的。。如果你手头比较宽裕，那么你的选择越多了，因为越是贵的设计师牌子，尺寸号码更加做得合理体贴些。 你会非常容易找到自己的size。 如果认为这些牌子贵，可以到Nordstrom Rack去找过季的鞋子，很多鞋子款式还是很好的。具体地址就需要你自己去上Nordstrom的网站来找了。（Nordstrom Rack其实就是Nordstrom的outlet）
Marchalls 还有Ross 也会偶尔找到好东西的，不过实在太杂太乱了，所以很少逛。
衣服还是要穿的，不过不需要那么多。明年应该不怎么需要逛街看衣服了。。。控制啊控制。。只要我不经常去SF的outlet看就好了。每次去看我都要买N多衣服。。不过明年我知道我会越来越少去SF了。。跟某人的关系也越来越淡了，实在没有必要再上去。
日用品乳洗面奶，沐浴露，洗发水这些就是不可避免的了。不过我一般很少买大牌的。其实美国超市的很多药妆牌子弄得都非常不错的。 完全没有必要买大牌的。 超市的沐浴露和身体乳液照样可以很滋润/清爽。 打死我也不会买欧舒单或者Crabtree & Evelyn。因为滋润度都类似。一些人买这些产品为了名字或者香味。但是总所周知，沐浴露的香味几乎是你的身体干了就几乎散得差不多了，我绝对不会花超过10刀来买沐浴露的。我们平时用的Dove和OLAY就非常滋润了。身体乳液，如果有用香水的习惯的，你用的有香味的身体乳液很容易就会和你的香味起冲突，让人家嗅觉混乱。 我比较喜欢的身体乳液是Bath & Body Works的，她们很快就会有Big Sale了。不过我去的话最多也只是看看沐浴露吧，好香也好便宜。
护肤品还是要用的，不过目前都是用医生开的药多，所以也不怎么需要看护肤品了。唯一需要看的就是面霜，眼霜，唇膏还有防晒产品了。用了那么多不同的牌子的护肤品，觉得洗面奶也是没有什么必要买大牌的。超市的Neutrogena洗面奶照样和Biotherm或者Estee Lauder的一样那么干净。 而且洗面奶停留在脸上的时间极短，主要作用就是用来清洁脸庞。。认为没有使用大牌的必要。 不过滋润的面霜，眼霜和精华等，这些还是不要省钱的好。 但是，适合你，你用了舒服最重要。价格还是其次的。
绝对或许最不应该花的钱应该是彩妆了吧。 虽然彩妆可以让我变得非常有神采，但是还是觉得彩妆可能是能省略的东西。不过今年里我买得最多也就是彩妆了。。。明年应该不会再买了吧。。只要我不上那么多美容论坛，不看那些彩妆的blog应该就不会有那么多吸引力了。
年底了，真的该好好考虑明年该怎么理财了，不能再这样乱花钱下去了。
什么是真的必须的，什么是opitional，我要考虑清楚了！！！
要坚强啊！
December 18 给大家介绍一个非常好用的刷子清洁剂一直都是使用洗发水来清洁刷子的，因为很多时候我们所使用的刷子的刷毛都是动物毛，所以可以和我们的头发一样来使用洗发水来清洁。而我们所使用的洗发水有清洁烟尘，头皮分泌的油脂等功效，所以一般的化妆刷子都可以得到很好的清洁。 "不过，我的刷子用来Bobbi Brown的眼线Gel呢，这个防水的，一般的洗发水好像洗不下来哦。" 确实，很多姐妹遇到这个情况的时候，就会先给刷子“卸妆”，然后再进行一般的清洗工作。 在这里，Angel要郑重推荐一个非常好用的刷子清洁剂 à Pink Soap.
产品名称： Mona Lisa Pink Soap Artist Brush Cleaner, Preserver, Conditioner 蒙娜丽莎粉红皂液 （Angel自己的翻译） 专业美术刷子清洁剂，保存液，修护液 产品价格：8oz/237ML $5.00 产品介绍和功能： · 清洁油画笔，丙稀画笔，还有水墨画笔。 · 可以清洁厨房烹饪用具表面，微波炉的油脂， · 可以清洁衣服或者地毯上的污迹 · 乳液状的清洁剂，洗后无油腻感 · 不含chlorides, alkalis, phosphates, solvents, alcohol · 可以清洁超级难清洗的油刷 · 还可以清除手上的异味：鱼腥味，蒜头味，洋葱味等。 产品使用心得： 以前就有专门做过清洁刷子的调查，曾经到不同的网站去看关于专业刷子的清洁方法。看到的不同网站推荐的清洁方法都大同小异。大都是建议用温和的皂液清洗，或者洗发水，也可以使用专门的清洁画笔清洁剂比如Pink soap来清洗。 这个Pink Soap是偶尔在逛Michaels 的用具店的时候发现的。价格好便宜，237ml的一瓶才$5.00美元左右。 如果刷子很脏的话，泡沫不是很多，而泡沫也是液体似的不同颜色。而我所使用的Bobbi Brown的眼线Gel的刷子，可以看到黑色慢慢被溶解流失掉。把刷子冲洗干净，再次用皂液清洗，就会发现泡沫变得丰富了起来，泡沫的颜色也变白了。厂家的建议是一直清洗到泡沫变白色即表示刷子清洗干净了。洗后捏干净水的刷毛有点点涩涩的感觉，不如一般洗发水西后的刷子的刷毛顺滑。 每次洗后Angel都会把刷毛稍微捏在一起，这样干后的刷毛就不会变散，比较容易保持回原来的形状。洗后的刷毛还是和原来一样的柔软哦。 不过Angel建议可以隔一段时间用一般的洗发水来清洗护理我们的化妆刷子。 厂家的建议是挤一点pink soap到刷毛上，这样可以更好保存和修护刷毛。 Air - Universal TravelerSuch a cute little song.......
it almost sounds like ----
"you need a soul
travel"
I still remember the time when I listened to this song was in his car
in the evening
looking out the car window
seeing trees passing by
great company
cute little song
so peaceful
whatelse could you ask for?
used to think maybe he is the one who I was looking for...
and today, when I finally see him again, I don't feel the same way anymore......
Who changed us???
Faith???
maybe there was not "us"...
maybe there was just "me"......
that cares...
Please excuse my sadness today......
all the sad songs are making me lonely... and sad..........
I have my moment...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Universal traveler
It literately sound like " you need a soul, travel".. "so far, so far away" don't know if anybody can understand me right now, I do want to be a universal traveler, but he keep on singing around me and tell me you need a soul to travel.. to travel far away so far away... until you alone in the universe remind me of the movie "the Fountain" Sorry for all the non-sense... I guess maybe that's why I love the band Air. The Fountain I have to listen to Massive Attack's " Live with me" to be able to write the reviews for "the Fountain".
Desperation
Love
Together we live forever.
Can we really live together forever?
Why is it so hard to be together? I just wanna love you and be with you forever... Why destiny take you away from me? The movie wasn't as good as I thought, however..Hugh Jackman did a great job on convincing us how painful he felt with the role he played.
Love could be painful, helpless, empty, and lonely.
 That loneliness in the universes scares the hell out of me!!!
I can't say that I like this movie very much, however, it does make me very depressed and make me scares of love a little bit..
Once you are in love, you are not yourself anymore, you become crazy, and lonely!
  Can you see his pain? his loneliness? his desperation?
December 09 终于放假了！天啊~~~
一个学期就那么过去了，回想前一段时间还在感叹校园生活的不真实。
昨天晚上11：59分，我准时把论文发送了出去。要知道，一分钟过后，就属于“第二天”我论文就晚了。
他说，你是我的英雄，同时你的拖拉也让我想扁死你。
呵呵~ 知道么，it does't matter!~我的学期终于完结拉！！！
哇哈哈哈哈~~~
