DC RANDOMNESS Part 2!


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!

Beef Chow Fun, Stir Fry Bok Choy, Hoisin & Spring Onions for Peking Duck

A friend of a friend sent me all these AMAZING Shiseido products!

OOTD: Paris Love








Jacket: PAPYRUS, Tee: F21, Skirt: AMISA, Shoes: PRADA, Necklace & Handbag: CHANEL 


Black & White today!

Which is fairly unusual for me as I NEVER wear white!!  Mostly because I'm a total klutz and I will undoubtedly without fail get whatever it that I am wearing that is white in color dirty.  And only the white part.. not the black part or any other color part JUST the white part.  muhaha. What gives?! bahahaha!

I can't help feel a bit like a 80's mod girl a bit in today's outfit post hehe.. maybe my tee shirt?? Or perhaps my necklace?? or a combination :p haha.
