Ultimate 24/7 Last All Day Makeup

Through rain, humidity, sweat, swimming, et cetera, these are my go to products for the ultimate last all day look. I typically use these products when I know I'm going to be out all day, when it's raining, or to the beach, and of course, clubbing. When you go clubbing, it gets super hot and sweaty and humid. I can only rely on these products. They are my holy grail!!

Super super waterproof and definitely lash expanding. My lashes look sooo long with this on. I went through dancing for 4 hours of dancing, walk in the rain, and slept with it and found it to be looking exactly like how I first applied it--untouched. You can find this on Amazon, eBay, and other Asian beauty products sites. An alternative for a mascara that basically has the same function is the Maybelline Waterproof Falsies Mascara. I just find that   Lash Expander has a longer staying power. I also really enjoy Falsies mascara because it makes my lashes super long and also volumizes (whereas lash expander mainly lengthens). 
K-Palette 24hr/1 day Tattoo Liquid Eyeliner
This eyeliner comes in a form of a pen. The tip is really slim and sharp, perfect for precision eyelining. It glides on super easy. And it lasts all day. Seriously. I went through everything I listed above and my eyeliner looked untouched. I only use liquid liner on my upper lashline because I find it liquid eyeliner, in general, hard to use on the bottom lashline; but, if you like liquid liner on the bottom, I am sure this product would be a dream to use. This is perfect. You can get this on eBay, Pretty&Cute, Amazon, and other Asian beauty products sites. I apologize that most of my holy grails are Asian products, but they are seriously the best. It's not like they are completely unaccessible. I bought these products during my vacation in Japan, and I intend on using these products for the rest of my life, good thing you can buy them online. 
Milani Liquif'eye Eye Liner Pencil in Black
My product of choice to use on the waterline. This is the blackest pencil eyeliner I have ever used. Before this, I used Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner. After hearing all the hype on this eyeliner, I decided to give it a try. It was actually pretty hard to get my hands on this eyeliner in black. Everywhere I went only had the colored ones, but I found this at a CVS, so I bought it. It was $8--much more affordable than Urban Decay 24/7 Liner and MUFE Aqua Eyes Eyeliner which are $17. Did I mention it's waterproof? Honestly, eyeliner on the waterliner almost never stays since that area is constantly moist, so yes, you have to touch up. But this liner definitely stays put longer than UD. I like it, like it.

In all seriousness, I never leave my house without eyeliner and mascara. As long as I have eyeliner and mascara, I can go anywhere.

Tiger Beats


Tiger JK (Drunken Tiger) is releasing his own Beats by Dr. Dre headphones! Amazing! I love Tiger JK! He is one of the dopest rappers I know. They are releasing in South Korea on May 20, 2011.

Somehow I keep associating the word "tiger" with Charlie Sheen now. I've been brainwashed. But these Beats are definitely "WINNING."

More pics here.

Beats™ by Dr.Dre™ by Yao Ming™ Headphones
Yao Ming has also collaborated with Monster to release his own edition of Beats. In-ear ones are on sale now. Prototype pictures of the headphones were released early May. 
I like the red and the gold.

Yummy Kit Kats

Sakura Matcha Kit Kat
Honestly, the best Kit Kat I had in my life. Before trying this, I thought the Uji Matcha Green Tea Flavored Kit Kat was the best Kit Kat. But I would have to say that Sakura Matcha is indeed the best. I love green tea flavored anything, but the sakura really brought a unique kick in the flavor. I don't know how to describe it, but it's a very delectable taste.

I've also tried the Lemon Soda and Cola Flavored Kit Kat. The Lemon Soda one was alright, but the Cola one was a big disappointment. I like Cola candies, but this Cola Kit Kat was just weirddddd. I could barely finish one piece. The flavor just did not belong on a Kit Kat. I also tried the cheesecake flavored one, which isn't bad, but it didn't taste special. I also have in my possession, Wasabi flavored Kit Kat. I'm a little skeptical about trying it.

Had to do my makeup really quick, so I busted out the 24-hr eyeliner from K-Palette. I am very happy with this product. The tip was sharp and it delivered perfect strokes. Easy to apply because it's a pen eyeliner. Best thing: it lasted throughout the entire night without smudging or moving. Mind you, I went clubbing and it was extremely hot and muggy inside the club. I actually slept in my makeup because I was exhausted and just fell asleep. The next morning, I checked my makeup, the eyeliner was still intact! Everything else was messed up (eyeshadow, eyeliner on bottom lashline). I also paired it with Lash Expander mascara, which is a perfect combination. Both mascara and eyeliner lasted throughout the night. Pretty sure that if I left it on for a full day, it would still look good. =) The eyeliner is waterproof, but it is easily removed with warm water.

Noms

Curry flavored cup noodle I bought from Narita airport. Ate it just the other day, it was so delicious! =) There were real chunks of potato and even pieces of chicken in it. I like it like it!

Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus

One of my favorite mascaras yet. This mascara definitely lengthens and expands lashes. There are fibers in the formula used to lengthen lashes. The wand features a double-sided brush: spiral and comb. The comb brush lengthens while the spiral brush enhances volume. This mascara is waterproof. One thing I really like about this mascara is that it doesn't clump. I bought this for 1280yen.

Rimmel Pure Natural Powder Foundation

Rimmel London Pure Natural Powder Foundation
So I finally got the chance to try this foundation out today. This foundation is extremely soft and applying it was very simple. It comes with a sponge applicator, so I did half my face with the sponge and the other half with a brush. I really like this product. It's moderate coverage, but I think it's buildable. It's very light on my face and it feels like I'm not using anything. Overall, I really like this product. It has definitely replaced my L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Powder Foundation. (Well, I bought this to replace that one because I was finished with it in the first place.) To be honest, I've been wearing makeup since high school and I've never used foundation before until recently. I started using foundation maybe around last year, but I wasn't an avid foundation wear-er because I didn't like having too many products on my face. The L'Oreal powder foundation was my very first foundation and I liked that it had a light coverage. Even then, I didn't use it a lot. Now, I use foundation daily mainly to cover any visible veins on my face.
