April Cat of the Month

Bedtime.

April Favourites

April has gone by SO quickly.  Here were my favourites!


Skincare: Innisfree - Eco Safety Aqua Sun Gel SPF 30 PA++
source: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuL_gFQgzMlISTC566xwBoWfhH3URDB0g7dXrkIbh4Wnx7VO0o9LLk7jsDYJqxkOuzcWZqlQ5JwYeeP2oGoB4aR_j9UtOEo-VWOlOkYveqISncphR7ftpbkw0iRPiAowBbLIWB60U_Ey0/s1600/photo.JPG

I bought this on my trip to Korea this winter and have finally opened it to start using it!  IT IS AMAZING (I have to go back to get more).  It is nice and light and does not feel like it is clogging anything (also no strong sunscreen smell).  I have not broken out from this (yet).  To be honest, I have no idea if it is working or not though, but hopefully it does!  

Makeup: Benefit - The Big Easy Liquid to Powder SPF 35 Foundation

Clearly summer is starting to come and I am obsessing about sun protection.  I LOVE THIS.  At first I was super worried that it would show dry patches.  It doesn't! (except once... but then I exfoliated and moisturized.)  It matches your skin tone (I am 'medium') and it makes your skin feel SO SO SO SO SOOOOO good.  You definitely need to try it out.  (stop by a sephora and get a sample if you are scared your skin will break out!)

I will most definitely be bringing this one to Europe :)

Don't know what to say... just... check it out! :)

Honestly, April was my worst month ever but I was glad to know that God has a plan for me!  I want to live the life He has planned for me and I have come to learn that these are all building blocks for it...sometimes you have to trip and fall to know where to look for the cracks along the sidewalk.


Clothing: Blondo - Diva in Brown

So you may think it's a bit too warm to be wearing boots.  I THINK NOT!  I love these. Firstly it is waterproof (which makes the leather so much easier to maintain) and brown makes it a possibility to wear this in the summer!  


NTS: BUY MORE BLONDOS NEXT WINTER...and check out summer collection.



Other:
This month I am going to skip on food but tell you my favourite...

... thing to do to relax!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVED retail therapy and going with a friend or two.  (not too many) .  THEN GET FOOD! <3

Thats it! Those are all MY favourites for April... WHAT WERE YOURS?

Manicure Monday (times two)

(left: BFF right: Eiffel Tower)

I recently dropped by Indigo just to do some retail therapy and picked up these two nail polishes.  One of them I got them for $2.10!! (regular price 8.50).

It took about 2 coats total to get the colour in the bottle (one for Eiffel Tower, but 2 for consistency).

The brand is called coco&lulu by Cake.  It is a 3 Free nail polish!  Take a look below:


The Eiffel Tower has a bit more stay power but I strongly recommend a top coat with these.  I put BFF on my toes and it didn't require any as it was nice and glossy and did not chip.

On the other hand, with it on my finger nails...  it was a nice glossy finish but it chipped quite quickly!

Make sure you drop by Chapters/Indigo to check it out!

Thoughtfully yours,
C.C.

March Cat of the Month

http://iheartcatgifs.tumblr.com/

March Favourites

Well, before we even realized it we are at the end of March!  Which means... EUROPPPEEE SOOOONNNN!!! Any way, back to my favourites this month!

Skincare: The Face Shop -  Clean Face Spot Corrector 
source: http://www.uphinh.vn/image/stream/1027370.jpg

So last month I showed you guys another "The Face Shop" product.  This one is used for afterwards.  It clears up some acne scars, I sometimes use it on my smaller acne spots as there is still some tea tree oil in it.  It's FANTASTIC.  I like it :)

Makeup: Maybelline - One by One Volum'express Waterproof

One of my favourite mascaras (used in EASY EYES) is Benefit's They're Real mascara.  There are two things I would change about it though: the price and lack of waterproofness.  This one has it all, I got it on sale for $4 AND it's waterproof.  I love that it separates my lashes and it holds my curl (probably cause it is waterproof).  I do miss the bristles at the top that They're Real has though! 

Comment below if you want a side-by-side comparison of the two!!

Game:  

Okay, so I haven't done this before but it's sorta fun to share what I have been wasting my time with.  I'm sure you've heard of this game (2048) before.

One of my friends coded a 5x5 version which is easier to beat (comment if you would like the link) and also I've seen the DIY selfie ones.  I also saw one of my friends post a chinese version which helps you review your history of china (probably doesn't help that I can't read it or remember it).  

Feel free to comment below to show your successfulness in the game!

This past month I've been hearing a lot of bad news in a sense.  I think this is a good one to keep in a pocket.  Just because somebody says it doesn't always mean that it is true, but sometimes it adds a bit of insight into your life.

Clothing: The North Face - Women's Resolve Jacket
source: http://www.thenorthface.eu/media/catalog/product/cache/2/image/375x440/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/import/item/5/AQBJH8E.JPG

Yes. Last month I put up another jacket.  But as the weather is getting warmer (and wetter) I find myself grabbing for this bright WATERPROOF JACKET!  This will definitely be well used in europe too :)

Food: 닭도리탕 - DakDoRiTang - (Korean) Spicy Chicken Stew
source: http://www.seoulgarden32.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/DAKDORITANG.jpg

So I discovered this Korean stew this month when I went to the Korean restaurant with my friend. IT IS THE BEST THING EVER.  It's spicy AND sweet, CHICKEN and POTATOES YUM YUM YUM.  Have this stew with some rice and everything will be right in the world.  I like mine a bit sweeter as to spicy, but the spicy is what gives it a kick.

YOU GOTTA TRY THIS!
