Hi everyone,<br /><br />For those who <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MyMakeupBlog">follow me on Twitter</a>, y'all know what happened to me. For those who are in the dark, here is the quick rehash: for the last week, my whole family moved from the house we've been living for 20 years to a rental house. The reason? It's time to rebuild the house.<br /><br />This year, I've been living in 3 different houses: the one in Florida (which I moved out in February), the old place (which we just moved), and this current rental house. Last week, I ate, slept, and woke up with only one thing on my mind: moving! Twenty years of stuff packed in a week was a lot of work and I'm thankful that it's over. Come to think of it, I'm quite a pro at moving at this point. I don't feel so overwhelmed anymore but instead, I know how to pace out.<br /><br />Now, the only problem is finding the stuff we packed. It is another pain!<br /><br />And now, a few pictures of our old front yard. Good bye, old home! You'll be new and splendid again in a few months!<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNFEHVNxvJWT9g3EWp3CwrVVWbYayUZEksve_tAxStNCSvbyGfT7oiKxOnVtBpbSdoCKGiEx3SE6KHMwbM6p0I-zOEZnaJDS0Gzju04ufVkXvt5kVa-JR7DrKjne-m9I-Ieo6QHCj5QV3h/s1600/IMG_0996.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNFEHVNxvJWT9g3EWp3CwrVVWbYayUZEksve_tAxStNCSvbyGfT7oiKxOnVtBpbSdoCKGiEx3SE6KHMwbM6p0I-zOEZnaJDS0Gzju04ufVkXvt5kVa-JR7DrKjne-m9I-Ieo6QHCj5QV3h/s640/IMG_0996.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My dad's fish tank</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NKPOX62vaLofmAVY9aTdrzrQRBWNYVTjF_fAxtie7BSp5aBJATRSGS2s1BUtD9MMAUz8L7h_6ArroGnMZjNH9P0-zRRFJBUhKze0SrNl1BsMEwnj5PVNBbVc9VMt9fI2T2kP9fp0Epig/s1600/IMG_0999.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NKPOX62vaLofmAVY9aTdrzrQRBWNYVTjF_fAxtie7BSp5aBJATRSGS2s1BUtD9MMAUz8L7h_6ArroGnMZjNH9P0-zRRFJBUhKze0SrNl1BsMEwnj5PVNBbVc9VMt9fI2T2kP9fp0Epig/s400/IMG_0999.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We have some beta fishes :)</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgqWY1IDgTnwoM1aoyvrh-KaEs66-1kgvhW7k2-KJBst1gn_br8VU8T-Vmugm3wIu_cK1bokg74xmu7oUI3vxG8eKZa2xsozvw-QzguXaoY4bFy-ANM8YPTWcWeV6mnPUApNu5a5qy5pkl/s1600/IMG_1000.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgqWY1IDgTnwoM1aoyvrh-KaEs66-1kgvhW7k2-KJBst1gn_br8VU8T-Vmugm3wIu_cK1bokg74xmu7oUI3vxG8eKZa2xsozvw-QzguXaoY4bFy-ANM8YPTWcWeV6mnPUApNu5a5qy5pkl/s640/IMG_1000.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Plants and trees<br />We ended up leaving some plants behind :(</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3j7Ffa3M04bMrldKjrVg2GTRJSeB85gEW9Bh5KdZ7_jTXXYr-tnXOL1YrNExVFpmzA5wMNnmjmJzzij4DnxdkA5Fs1eAR754791z80k2hyW1_jWTPWUhbJqinWg4qjHnVBnX3DsQL8a-c/s1600/IMG_1004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3j7Ffa3M04bMrldKjrVg2GTRJSeB85gEW9Bh5KdZ7_jTXXYr-tnXOL1YrNExVFpmzA5wMNnmjmJzzij4DnxdkA5Fs1eAR754791z80k2hyW1_jWTPWUhbJqinWg4qjHnVBnX3DsQL8a-c/s640/IMG_1004.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A plant with jagged-edge leaves</td></tr></tbody></table>That's all for now.

Introducing New Segment: Burning Makeup Question

Hi everyone,<br /><br />Due to the lack of FOTD's on Thursday, I decided to implement a new segment called "Burning Makeup Question." Each week, there will be a question about makeup and possibly skincare, too.<br /><br />To kick start this segment, here is this week's Burning Makeup Question:<br /><br /><div style="color: magenta; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">What are the colors you cannot wear?</span></div>Wanna know my answer? Jump!<br /><br /><a name='more'></a>For the life of me, I cannot wear gray and taupe. I know a lot of people swear by MAC Satin Taupe and wear gray shirts as if they were the new black. But on me, these two colors just look ashy. Dead. Sickly.<br /><br />How about you? What are the colors you cannot wear? Please give me your answers in the comment section. I'd love to hear all about it!<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/?action=view&current=endcredit.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/endcredit.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>P.S: If you like my blog, please <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border: 0pt none; vertical-align: middle;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">subscribe to my feed.</a> Thanks a lot!

Za Plumper Lips Lipstick in Pink Pearl Is Cotton Candy Juiciness!

Hi everyone,<br /><br />Lately, I've been finding myself reaching out for <a href="http://www.za-cosmetics.com/english/#/makeup/lips/plumper_lips">Za Plumper Lips</a> in Pink Pearl a lot. My friend Dreezy in Singapore sent it to me but I did not get a chance to use it as much. Now that I have a nice tan, baby pink and cotton candy pink lipsticks begin to look really good on my skin.<br /><br />One funny back story: back in the days, I could not wear light-colored pink lipsticks at all since my skin was too pale. I looked like an alien. <a href="http://mymakeupblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/mac-emanuel-ungaro-lip-products-review.html">MAC Pure Rose</a> lipstick (from the Ungaro collection) went to the stash and I didn't even buy Viva Glam Gaga I, although I really wanted it. Both of them, albeit being pink and lovely, were just too pale for me.<br /><br />But heading to April, 2011, things changed. I got a tan whether I like it or not, and these pale pink lipsticks look really good on moi. When I picked up Pink Pearl from Za again, it was as if everything fell into the right places. It is no longer a tacky pale pink lipstick. It is <i>the</i> pale pink lipstick I love to wear.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8TFJ1ncCWBdT_1w0lPC_PynOqSv5ylLZ9ptvkxsEZ_ARSYkAntxRZoxe40ewB0EAnQJ0Zrz5a6Ci14zYpbeSgVp9CyH7DZZKuhQtNdrb67muR1BZQd9ebQkYRoWHeQfM7_9yqEo2zTrIM/s1600/IMG_2159.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8TFJ1ncCWBdT_1w0lPC_PynOqSv5ylLZ9ptvkxsEZ_ARSYkAntxRZoxe40ewB0EAnQJ0Zrz5a6Ci14zYpbeSgVp9CyH7DZZKuhQtNdrb67muR1BZQd9ebQkYRoWHeQfM7_9yqEo2zTrIM/s640/IMG_2159.JPG" width="476" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Za Plumper Lips lipstick<br />Love the pink case!</td></tr></tbody></table>Wanna know how it looks like?

That's how the lipstick looks. It glides like buttah! On top of that, it doesn't smell like anything at all. Just pure moisturizing juiciness. With one layer, you will have just a hint of color. But as you layered it up, Pink Pearl is more opaque.<br /><br />Color-wise, I think this is the love child of MAC Viva Glam Gaga I and Pink 4 Friday (y'know, the bubblegum pink lipstick Nicki Minaj collaborated with MAC?) Unlike these two MAC lipsticks, Pink Pearl is actually <i>more</i> wearable. Also, it does not look tacky on my skin.<br /><br />If your skin is around NC30, this lipstick is for you. It actually makes your tan look good. Please get it if you can. I did some search and it costs around $13 SGD (~$10 USD.) The quality, I believe, is better than MAC lustre lipsticks.<br /><br />Lately, I've found myself in a pink lipstick mood. Everything I use is pale pink and lovely. I even dug up my MAC Pure Rose and Quiet Please! lipsticks and use them. Needless to say, they all look good.<br /><br />Disclaimer: I got this lipstick as a gift. The opinions are mine and reflected my own experience.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/?action=view&current=endcredit.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/endcredit.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">P.S: If you like my blog, please </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border: 0pt none; vertical-align: middle;" /></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">subscribe to my feed.</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Thanks a lot!</span></td></tr></tbody></table>

Makeup in Pencil Zip-up Bags: Just Throw It in the Bag!

Hello, my lovelies!<br /><br />Back to Vietnam means many things to me. One of those things is saying goodbye to my awesome closet full o' makeup. Yup, just a few month ago, my makeup closet had enough product to fuel a small-scale beauty magazine. When I left, I threw away and donated lots of stuff I and carried my best with me. Now, I don't even have a table to put my makeup, which explains the recent lack of FOTDs.<br /><br />In my parents' house, each square inch on top of the dresser is prime real estate. Therefore, I need to group my makeup wisely. That way, not only I can locate them faster but I can also spot the things I want even before I open the bag.<br /><br />The solution: zip-up stationary bags for kids!<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE_622URKwJkPal85V7RXwPQRP6EpW2K69XcGOvVnHzq8Y1vfpcMxychvNXLph1lNsnTVRgbhLS156HTtbftar1vRgm_kAnpyqc7vW4KJb0l6DU33kkvdxUdjPiw1luNNFbadHvw3EMfDI/s1600/IMG_2156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE_622URKwJkPal85V7RXwPQRP6EpW2K69XcGOvVnHzq8Y1vfpcMxychvNXLph1lNsnTVRgbhLS156HTtbftar1vRgm_kAnpyqc7vW4KJb0l6DU33kkvdxUdjPiw1luNNFbadHvw3EMfDI/s400/IMG_2156.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Like these guys!</td></tr></tbody></table> I got 2 after the back to school event last year. The blue one in the background was from that event. It has 3 holes so you can fit it into a 3-ring binder. Since I used both of them and still have plenty of makeup left, I wanted some more and got another 2 in the bookstore near my parents' house.<br /><br />These guys are really cheap. For the B2S sale, I got them for about 25-30 cents each. The ones I bought in VN are 20 cents each. Can't get anything cheaper than that! Even at dollar store, you get a dingy clear makeup bag that costs a big one already!<br /><br />Wanna know why I like these clear stationary zip-up bags? Jump!<br /><br /><a name='more'></a>First of all, I have a thing for clear bags when it comes to makeup. To think of it, I'd prefer to know where my stuff at even before opening the bag. It would be fine to store your makeup in whatever type of container/storage facility if you have less than 10 items. However, with a massive amount of makeup comes the headache of locating them. Since I don't want to open 10 bags in order to find an eyeliner, these guys are perfect.<br /><br />The second point:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHC1OOWkwyAU02oGfLhUc2Ev2BZOqEUTMuUCfnAkXVbh-hGyDqv-Ru8U-W8-l2T7zvLebOSjmWKQaNIUKn-LQaFK43ldq3LbAb6-jPFZCTG6n2CGHnSjoCskYOukWoCIxX1aOUKjfzt0wG/s1600/IMG_2151.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHC1OOWkwyAU02oGfLhUc2Ev2BZOqEUTMuUCfnAkXVbh-hGyDqv-Ru8U-W8-l2T7zvLebOSjmWKQaNIUKn-LQaFK43ldq3LbAb6-jPFZCTG6n2CGHnSjoCskYOukWoCIxX1aOUKjfzt0wG/s400/IMG_2151.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This bad boy haz a zipper, baby!</td></tr></tbody></table> If they made sturdier and better-looking Ziplock bags, I would tote my stuff around in them.

My Trip to Cambodia, Part 1

Hey y'all!<br /><br />Since I came back to Vietnam, I've been traveling extensively. One trip after another but I did not feel so tired. In fact, I've come to a realization that I love traveling, as long as it does not involve full body scans and waiting for hours at the airport. Traveling here in Vietnam is quite easy and inexpensive. When an opportunity arose for me to travel to Cambodia, I took it. And boy oh boy! It was <i>fun</i>!<br /><br />It had been my dream to travel to Cambodia for such a long time and now that I got a chance to fulfill it, I felt very fortunate. Here is a recap of my 4-day, 3-night trip. I took a total of 766 photos and I decide to break it into a series of entries. Otherwise, I would be an intense (and long) entry!<br /><br />Here it is. I hope you'll enjoy!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Day 1</span></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJt9LV8NTgsWHMm5BKD-ytoVAhzsU15TsR3mdHablzGvaKsw4__bjGqyZzzlIIQN4pmJX-WxnK4K9hXiSR5nBl2j5H18uuk0A15ngyhnYocMQZIzww402ebldzZtvBB6Q8vBv1eJaC4stt/s1600/IMG_1404.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJt9LV8NTgsWHMm5BKD-ytoVAhzsU15TsR3mdHablzGvaKsw4__bjGqyZzzlIIQN4pmJX-WxnK4K9hXiSR5nBl2j5H18uuk0A15ngyhnYocMQZIzww402ebldzZtvBB6Q8vBv1eJaC4stt/s400/IMG_1404.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Breakfast at Trang Bang, a province at the border of Vietnam and Cambodia<br />The soup was not all that, I guess they took us to the wrong restaurant :(</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1tHJuQkWpny5SLoEN1duu0SxRBM5w9iIvUsYFGm3zwvpFjqjClX5Eyf_bb0_lvpp_07y1PNPCdt7a_TE6NDsFNnRv6V10jG0XZ8-tSw822nHNp_ztRCBxNDkYJoeId6jtHMilPN93zwLj/s1600/IMG_1406.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1tHJuQkWpny5SLoEN1duu0SxRBM5w9iIvUsYFGm3zwvpFjqjClX5Eyf_bb0_lvpp_07y1PNPCdt7a_TE6NDsFNnRv6V10jG0XZ8-tSw822nHNp_ztRCBxNDkYJoeId6jtHMilPN93zwLj/s400/IMG_1406.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The herb smells like five-spice powder.
