Canada 2012

Halloooo! I'm back from Canada. :D
My bf and I were there for 9 days to visit my brother and his fam. 
We had a blast up there. This is my second time I'm visiting them and would love to go back soon! :)

*PIC HEAVY*

Biggest Daiso store I've ever seen in Aberdeen Centre

It's a 2 story Daiso





The Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is a lot shorter than the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Lynn Canyon is free admission though. ;)


I don't know if they're kidding or not.... O_O


We rented a FIAT :)

Looks soo cute!



Yaohan Center, Richmond B.C.


Shawarma -Al Basha in Vancouver

Falafel Wrap - Al Basha in Vancouver

7UP :)
I really don't know what flavor it is but it tasted like cream soda

Shawarma - Abdul BBQ & Shawarma in Burnaby, B.C. (Found my fave spot for shawarma ;) )

JapaDog! :D
Right to Left: Oroshi (Freshly grated daikon with a special soya sauce), Okonomi (Transformed into a hotdog! Juicy kurobuta sausage topped with bonito flakes) <- (my fave one) :)

Bye Canada! See u soon!



Looks fluffyyyyy!





Back in L.A. :)

I hope I didn't bore you guys much with this post. :) 
We had fun even though it was only for a short period of time. 
What countries have you guys visited so far? :)

Haul #5: Sephora Mini Haul

Lovely Sunday today! :) I've been hunting for the Hello Kitty Mon Amour Brush Set (limited edition). I tried and went to a Sephora nearby my place yesterday but they weren't available there. So, I tried my luck today and went to the one in Manhattan Beach. I was so happy when I seen it there and was the last one too! They are still available online but I don't want to wait any longer. ;)
Hello Kitty Limited Edition Brush Set $25
Top to Bottom: Lip Brush, Face Brush, Eyeshadow Brush, Shader Brush, Angled Eyeliner Brush
Just to remind you guys that this is a traveling brush set. A lot of people get disappointed of how small the brushes are. For me, it's perfect for traveling. The brushes are synthetic and it's super soft. For the price, I think it's worth it. There's actually a plastic cup inside that you can remove. 
I also have a couple of items that I need to look for: the Hello Kitty Shimmering Powder and Eyeshadow Palette and the Hello Kitty Parisienne Palette. Both of them aren't available nearby so I guess I'm gonna have to get it online.

Bumble South Surf Spray $24
I also bought the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. I think a nice, perfect beach hair would look great since summer is here. ;) I've been reading a lot of mixed reviews about this one. Some people hated it and some loved it. Hopefully I would fall into the category of "love it" group.

Have you guys tried the any bumble and bumble products? :)

Glossybox: May 2012

Finally! The much awaited Glossybox is now available in the US. :)
I have been waiting for their US launch and I'm so excited for my first one.

I thought this is their June 2012 box but found out it's actually the MAY one. 
Glossybox is like any other boxes out there like Birchbox, etc. However, the price is a little steep of about $21/month. I guess it's because they offer more luxury brands in each box. This month actually contains two full size products which I will be pointing out later on.
What's in the box:

1. AMORE PACIFIC | Moisture Bound Refreshing Hydra-Gel (South Korea)
A hydrating gel moisturizer that leaves your skin feeling bright and refreshed. Noticed your complexion visibly improve, giving you confidence and a natural glow. $100 for full size (1.7oz)

2. BURBERRY BEAUTY | Lip Mist Natural Sheer Lipstick Copper No. 202 (UK)
A creamy lipstick that offers a hint of natural, sheer color leaving your lips moist and dewy. The perfect present for the perfect pout. $30.00 for full size (0.12 oz)

3. MARVIS | Marvis Whitening (Italy) <--I got this in full size
Make the most of your splendid smile with a whitening toothpaste dripping in cool mint freshness, all while protecting against decay, tartar, and plaque. $7.50 for full size (1.23 oz)

4. PHYTO | Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Mask for Dry Hair (France)
Indulge in luxury and aroma with a conditioning treatment that moisturizes and detangles strands without weighing hair down. Nourish, revive and delight. $38.00 for full size (6.7 oz)

5. ZOYA | Summer 2012 - Beach and Surf Collection (USA) <--I got this in full size too
Dive into the creamy shades and shimmering sea foils of the Zoya Beach & Surf Collection. Allow you nails to go on vacation everyday. $8.00 for full size (0.5 oz)

They have also included a Blush Brush crafted from the finest goat's hair (kinda excited to use it!) :D

I have to admit, I haven't tried my other boxes' products which I have to do it soon! I need to review them for you guys. :)

I hope this box will continue to give me great products every month. I'm actually liking this month's Glossybox. Hope it won't disappoint since I'm shelling out $21 per month compared to other boxes! :)

Are you guys willing to try Glossybox? :)
