Foodddd...

I am finally done with my finals.  Yeah~

Got sick the day before the finals, and still sick even today...

Anyway, just want to post some food porn.

 
Mussels with garlic bread.

 
Salmon steak


 
OMG, sooo good

 
My favorite food = squid~


Steak with rice and corn



 
Shabu shabu at Korean restaurant, hence the side dishes.  Double awesomeness. 

 
The meat since I couldn't include it into the previous pictures. 
 
Christmas is coming, but I don't feel the festiveness that I used to experience before.  Is it because of the economy? 
 

Anyway, that's it for today.
 
Ciao~

November/Thanksgiving Beauty Purchases

I usually buy some beauty products for the year (yes, the whole year) during November/Thanksgiving since there are a lot more sales or gifts during this time around.

I was running out of the eye cream, and the one I got last year doesn't seems to work for the wrinkles under my eyes.  After some research and seeing some deals, I have decided to switch to Estee Lauder to give it a try.  The best thing is that this purchase comes with some gifts, quite a bit of gifts too. 

 
Here's the gifts I got for purchasing the eye cream.  It comes with the snake skin bag, which I am not a fan of, estee lauder palette, 3 mini eyeliners, mini serum, mini face cream with spf 15, which I can't use since I am allergic to the chemical sunscreen, lipstick, and 10 days mascara. 
 
 
Sephora mystery gifts with my purchases.  I bought the OleHeriksen for $48.  But I wanted the mystery gifts and not the shipping charge, so I purchase the Sephora cotton pads for $2.  Of course I got my 3 free samples purchasing online. 

 
Here's what I got for the mystery gifts: 4 Sephora foundation samples, Nars foundation, Urban Decay foundation/brightening primer, L'Occitane face cream, and Lancome primer.  By the way, the gift bag actually cost I think $1/2 online.  So just the bag itself has made up the extra $2 I purchase to get the free shipping and cotton pads. 

 
Here's how the face cream looks like.  It is super mini.

 
Here's all the products unboxed. 

 
I usually purchase a strong facial peel once a year to get rid of all the acne scars and "tough" dead skins accumulated over the years that I couldn't get rid of using regular scrubs. 
 
I used Vichy vitamin C peel last year.  It is a serum that last for 30 days (1 month), and you have to put the serum in the fridge since the vitamin c is very unstable and all natural.  It's the first and the best I have used so far.  I got it at Ulta last year, for about $45ish.  Unfortunately they don't sell it anymore  :((  So I thought I will try something else this time.  I have used OleHeriksen once since I got it, I have good experience so far.  It has this tingly sensation, in a good way (not burning feeling in anyway), and my skin feels really smooth after the mask.  The only downside for me is that I have to wash the product off my face, and I don't really know if I did clean it off well or not...  I don't have to wash the Vichy one.  Yeah, call me lazy, hah.

I got this gifts too with the purchase of the double-wear foundation with spf 10.  Again, they have the snake skin bag again, which I don't really care for.  Also, I don't understand why they will have two lipsticks with this gifts.  But I do love their lipstick smells.  They smells a bit berry-ish, not the old lipsticks usually smells. 
 
Anyway, here are just some beauty products I bought during November of 2012.
