Butter London Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

Bossy Boots, Disco Biscuit, Knacked, Slapper, Trout Pout

I think one of the worst aspects of reading beauty blogs is that you find out about all these products that you want to try, but can't afford. The Butter London Spring/Summer 2012 collection has been going around on the blogosphere. I feel like a starved child with food being dangled in front of me. Well, maybe not that bad, but I still want it!

I really like the cremes in this collection. They're all really beautiful, but I really like Bossy Boots, Slapper, and Trout Pout. That pink! Oh lord, I haven't seen a pink that pretty and I don't even like pinks, to be quite honest. I really really like teals as well and I don't think I have a teal that's quite as green as Slapper. I do have Barielle's Do Unto Others so I don't really neeeeeeeeed a teal. But I want it!

I don't know why I'm also drawn to Bossy Boots. They call it a "light opaque pistachio green. A beautiful take on neutral for this season" I really do like it. I'm not into nudes or really pastel-y colors, but I really like this one. I might have to get it.


Which ones do you like the most?

Thoughts: Decluttering

Photo is from here.

Hi everyone! I had my first day of winter quarter. I had come back with a ton of stuff from shopping and just general junk. Since Chinese New Years is coming up, I think I'm gonna try cleaning up my stuff. I'm going to be moving soon and it would suck to pack up all this stuff that I'm not even going to use. Plus, it's great to have less things (so I can buy more), since more things seem to overwhelm and stress me out.

1. Clothing: I need to sort out what clothes I want to keep and clothes that I just don't wear. I have a ton of things that don't really fit, but I've been holding on to because I really like it or because I just don't want to let it go. I'll probably donate the clothing or give it to a consignment for some $$.
2. Makeup: I don't really want to throw away makeup stuff because I'm kind of a pack rat. I think the goal of not buying makeup might be easier than throwing makeup away. I don't have a huge collection of makeup since I just started buying makeup a few years ago. I am definitely going to go through my mascaras though. I have a terrible habit of not really keeping track of when I used them. Plus I have a ton of mascaras waiting to be opened.
3. Skincare: I have a ton of skincare stuff that I've bought over the years. A lot of it doesn't really do me any good so I should just toss them. But the Chinese in me doesn't want to waist anything and I always feel awkward throwing away things like I was throwing away money.
4. Nail polish: I've become quite a nail polish addict over the last year. I think it's because I look at swatches and I think, OMG, I need that one! I think I'm going to try to limit my polish habits as well and probably throw or give away some of the ones that I don't really like.
5. Knick knacks: I collect a TON of knick knacks. I find something cute and I decide that I must have it. I have like 4 packs of stationery despite the fact that I don't even send people letters or anything anymore. :( I have notebooks and folders that I don't really use. Maybe I should donate those to a school or something.

I'm hoping I can clear out some of this stuff so I can finally live without mess. It's overly optimistic to say that I will stick to all of these (hell, even half of these), but a girl's gotta start somewhere! Hopefully putting this on the blog will make me more accountable and so I will actually do it. Crossing my fingers.

Two Free Bottles of Zoya!

So, I was chilling around the internet and found out that from today till 1/9/12, you can get two bottles of nail polish for free! You play for shipping, but if you order $25 worth, you can get free shipping. What are you gonna get?

You can get all the details here.

I decided to get Shawn and Nina. I've been wanting a forest green and brown polish for a while and it would be nice to have them in my collection. Especially for winter!

My Resolutions

After I typed up my last post, I started thinking about resolutions and they just started flowing so I'm gonna write a few down and try to keep consistent. Most of them are just every day routine things that I just have to work into my schedule.

1. Get a good skin care routine. I'm kind of lazy with my skin care. It's terrible actually. I want to make sure that I cleanse and moisturize in the morning and in the evening. I usually just do it once a day after my shower. :( Lately, I've been doing it and hopefully, I can keep it up.
2. Drink more water. I don't drink nearly enough water. Sometimes, I don't even drink all day. Water's really important to my health so I wanna make sure I stay hydrated.
3. Get a good exercise routine. I like working out, but it takes me a while to get the momentum to go and work out. I've been slacking in my routine and I feel really sluggish when I don't get my workouts.

That's it for now. I don't wanna set out too many goals in case I get overwhelmed. I'll try and update how I'm doing. :)

HAPPY 2012!

I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I don't have any real resolutions this year, only to graduate and find a job (to fuel my beauty + fashion obsession).

I spent my NYE with my boyfriend and some friends. It was a very casual affair, but it's always great to see people. I got my first ever midnight New Years kiss. :)

I'm hoping that 2012 will be a good year for blogging. This has been going much longer than I have expected.
