Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre
Basically a fancy way of saying "setting powder" hahaha
My mom got a $25 dollar GC to Neiman Marcus and very generously gave it to me!
WOOT!
muhahahahaha
Which I used it to purchase part of this... I've been eyeing this for a loooong while but couldn't justify the purchase because it is sooo pricey. But after purchasing it (and yes while I paid for half of it with a GC) there's SOOOOO SO much product I actually think even full price this plastic tub (the container is HUGE!) will last me a looooooooong long time! Definitely worth it!
It comes with a cute little "Chanel" powder puff but I don't use it I use a giant kabuki brush and do a light dusting over my face after I put on my foundation. It makes my skin look sooooo so good! Gives it just that little bit of extra coverage and makes my skin look sooo smooth I use to use the MUFU HD and this by far is soooooooooooo so much better! There's 4 colors and I got the 2nd lightest out of 4 - Translucent 2.
Also during the day time when I'm in a rush or not wanting to do a "full face" of makeup I use BB Cream and do a light dusting of this product and it gives that perfect fresh faced no makeup/makeup look!
Peking Duck
OH.HELL.YES.
My cousin is apparently just as excited as I am muhahaha!
Gorgeous mom and daughter duo :)
My adorable cousins!
Hehehehe!

This post is such a random mish mash of stuff! Hahaha... I was reading through twice to see where are you at now but I can't seem to find. Lots of Asian food I see. Oh my, I come from Singapore and I've not heard of the Singapore noodles but it is so weird that in other countries, I see Singapore noodles, Singapore fried rice, Singapore vermicelli but no, we don't have any dish by those names. Your picture of the Singapore noodles look a little like those "zhu chao" hokkien bee hoon though I'm not very sure.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteI am looking towards white and pink for mine too. It would take quite some time coz figuring out the html coding takes quite some time.
Oh the noodles are with curry? Thin rice noodles meaning they are mi fen (that's in Mandarin). I think it doesn't have a proper name here. Haha.
amazing bracelets:) yummy food:)
ReplyDeleteThe mushroom burger looks so good! I would love to try that. ^^
ReplyDeleteahhh....the food makes me so hungry. I never tried Chanel powders before although I'm interested in getting a pressed powder from them soon. I use Laura Mercier loose powder and I really like it. I feel like loose powder last a long time. i have mine for over a year and not even half way done!
ReplyDeletedrooling over all of those food and love the shiseido stuff your friend gave you. *envy* :D
ReplyDeleteNice photos. Lots of yummy food.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures ! And Chanel :D

ReplyDeletebaha your cousins are funny!
woahhhhh love your arm party! blingy!!
lol at you taking the photo of the food - i'm like that too, im like WAIT dont eat it, i need to take a photo! people just dont get us :P
fries with melty cheese - BEST. (but not best for my butt/thighs/tummy. lol)
& i LOVE portobello mushroom in a burger! theres a burger place in Australia called Grill'd and they make this burger with a big mushroom rather than a meat pattie - it is THE BEST. nom.
Haven't had time to really enjoy food lately. so seeing some good food porn sure is making me super hungry!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your arm candy! I wish I could wear that much for work, then again I can't :(
Is that the SAME sister with the grandma cats luggage?! I love your food adventures, always :)
