I really want to comment back to a lot of your comments, sorry it's taking me some time to do so! Please don't think I'm being a snob! 죄송합니다! *bows*
I got a new camera! (I gave my old one to my sister since hers was stolen.)
Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS
It's a Canon because I am brand loyal...all of my cameras have been part of the Canon family (and my scanners and printers too). What I really love about this one is its small and slim size, not to mention it's very light! I really need to buy a case for it though and learn how to use it properly (thank goodness for Auto mode).

I wanted a bright color for summer! I find a lot of OPI's corals and oranges this year to be verrrrry tempting but as I am too chicken to try them, I stuck with a girly bright Barbie pink! Maybe one day I shall be brave and venture out of my comfort zone.
I am a frequent visitor of Mitsuwa and Marukai, and also a sucka for packaging, so I ended up with these false lashes:
I believe they were about $3 each...and honestly, though they look nice, they're really not worth purchasing. The bands are thick and lashes are very stiff...save your money and buy Darkness/Shisem/Red Cherry/etc.!
Anyone remember "The Emperor's New Groove?" hehe That's one of my fav Disney movies...so quotable. =)
[Kuzko collides with an old man while dancing]
Kuzco: D'oh! You threw off my groove!
Guard: I'm sorry, but you've thrown off the Emperor's groove.
[the old man is thrown out of the palace window]
...
Pacha: What happened?
Old Man: Well, I threw off the Emperor's groove.
Pacha: What?
Old Man: His groove! The rhythm in which he lives his life. His pattern of behavior. I threw it off. And the Emperor had me thrown out the window.
Pacha: Oh, really? I'm supposed to see him today.
Old Man: Don't throw off his groove!
Pacha: Oh, okay.
Old Man: Bewaaare, the grooove.
Pacha: Hey, are you gonna be all right?
Old Man: Grooove...
(*quotes from IMDB)
Lol...so whenever something or someone bothered me, I used to think "You threw off my groove! Don't throw off my groove! *toss person out the window*," because it'd amuse me and I'd feel less annoyed. =P
An...y...waysssss....
MAC MSFs (Mineralize Skin Finishes) from "In The Groove" Collection
It was a downright adventure getting these! Well, mainly Stereo Rose. But I'm glad I did as I'm really into blushers lately and didn't have a coral one. Also I wanted By Candlelight when it came out in an earlier collection (Warm and Cozy?) but couldn't find it before. It's such a pretty highlighter! I should have swatched them but I didn't, sorry, but I'm sure you've seen swatches if you don't have already them!

I also got enabled by Giang big time a few weeks ago and realllllllly wanted this:
MAC Lipstick in Jazzed - Bright coral pink (Cremesheen)
I wanted to kick myself for not getting it when I got the MSFs and knowing that it was all sold out, but luckily (or not so luckily for my spending/saving habits), it was back on the site and I also got free shipping! It's a great shade for summer and again, I didn't have a coral lipstick. In general I'm not a big fan of MAC lipsticks as I prefer creamy lippies, but this is my first Cremesheen and so far, I like it.
Lastly...I made a sad attempt to show those goodies on my face! Though I love my new camera, it tends to overexpose pictures...which is usually great but not when I'm trying to show makeup in true color. 미안합니다!
Gosh...someone needs to dye her roots! haha I really dislike my bangs currently, can't wait for them to grow a bit longer!
P.S. In case you are wondering, the 2 Korean expressions I wrote are "죄송합니다"(joesonghabnida which sounds like joesonghamnida) and "미안합니다" (mianhabnida); both meaning "I'm sorry." (The former being more formal.)
Hope you're savoring these last days of summer!!
