Play Time in Tokyo

Hiyee everyone!! I've decided I have so much to post from my trip and since NicNic posted recently about our meet up, I shall start from the end to the beginning! (Her sense of time makes more sense than mine, but just enjoy it anyway, will you?)

Me in my hotel room, feeling all refreshed and ready to go out and about! Yes, my hair got very long since I'd wanted to cut it but a friend told me to get it done for cheap in Korea and I did not find any convenient hair salons where I felt comfortable enough to take the risk (not all salons are cheap, some are expensive, and not all speak English obviously and I am rather picky about my bangs).

Weekend Getaway in San Francisco - Day 2

Waking up in SF was something like this...

Weekend Getaway in San Francisco - Day 1

Heylo, heylo!!

Was I really in SF (San Francisco) two weeks ago?  Feels almost like it couldn't have been that long ago already and yet also feels like another lifetime ago too. =X

I only stayed for a weekend, from Friday early afternoon until Sunday evening, which I thought would be a nice, long weekend but once I was there, I realized it wasn't long enough.  I'll definitely be back again soon.

I took a lot of pictures so I'll have to break this post into three, one for each day.

MAC, Venom & Villains, Oh My!!

Hello everyone!! Hope you had a good week and are enjoying your weekend!

Last weekend I went to the MAC Venomous Villains (am I the only one who wants to say Villainous Venoms? haha) event at South Coast Plaza with Iyah, Caroline, Jilly and her sister.

There was a huge display and backdrops set up outside of the store, including an area where the MUAs were applying VV collection on people.

I met up with Iyah for some quick shopping since Iyah was in OC last week. Such an enabler!

We had lunch at Brodard's in Garden Grove since Ria and Iyah had never been there before.

Last Monday night, we all met up at Guppy Tea House in Irvine. I was running late so I didn't get to put on as much makeup as I would have liked, and so I didn't use my camera. All these pics are from Iyah. =)

all the girls...

Sephora with Iyah and Clarisonic Mia Review

Super duper late on posting this, but a few months ago I met up with Iyah at South Coast Plaza. I always love meeting up with her, she is a true sweetheart and cutie pie, if you don't read her blog already, run there now!! (But...please come back to mine, hehe.)

MAC Hello Kitty and Then Some!!

Lots and lots of pictures!!! I met up with Iyah and her hubby Adrian, Ria and her boyfriend Dave, and Iyah's YouTube friend Valeree at South Coast Plaza for the MAC Hello Kitty pre-sale event last night! It was madness. I thought it'd be a chill lil occassion, us leisurely playing with the new collection while sipping our free drinks and nibbling on free food...um, yeah, not quite.
