Sephora Pre-Summer Beauty Goodies

Don't call it a comeback...

Wow, it's been about six months since I'd last blogged. That's half a year! These days I really do feel that time goes by quickly. Luckily it's now June and summer is almost officially here!!

I would apologize for being away for so long, but truthfully...that's just the way it is and has to be. I will say though that I've missed blogging and although I'll probably never be a consistent blogger who posts weekly, bi-weekly, or perhaps not even monthly, I will post whenever I have time. I don't blog for a living and I don't intend to do so. I just want to be able to blog for the sheer pleasure of it.

With that said...it's been almost equally as long since I'd last hauled makeup. *gasp* Right? That's crazy talk! Of course, I have plenty of makeup, even with giving away or tossing out unused or unloved items regularly. Anyway, I felt the need for some retail therapy and feel quite happy with my most recent Sephora haul (part of it acquired during the last VIB sale).

I'm glad I can post a teaser of my goodies with you so that I can finally start using them, keke.

Beautylish Spring Trends Preview Event & Swag Bag

*Extremely long and pic heavy post!!

I know you've prob read a lot of blogs about this already, and although I really wanted to post this sooner I didn't have time until now, so please forgive me as I've been busy and hardly home these days.

I had the pleasure of attending Beautylish's LA event last Tuesday at the W Hotel in Westwood (West LA).

I'd met the Beautylish team last summer at IMATS but unfortunately was not able to make it to their first LA event back in October, so there was no way I was going to miss it this time around!

Since it was on a weeknight I went straight after work and braved good ol' 405 traffic for about an hour and a half, joy. But you want to know the truth? I actually kind of missed going to LA...I used to commute and go for fun a lot also, and didn't realize that it'd definitely been a while.

2010 Beauty Favorites

I know we're nearing the end of January but I still wanted to do this. =) In my post for last year's favorites, I said I'd "focus more on skincare products and less on makeup," and I'm happy to say I did. As such, I don't have a lot of new makeup favs, but here are some products that I loved using and relied on in 2010.

SKINCARE
H2O Plus Urban Defense Green Tea Cleansing Milk
I love this! I have Iyah to thank for introducing me to it when she let all us girls try it at our HK sleepover. Immediately after using it, my face feels so soft and also looks brighter!
