Get to know me! Juliana's 50 Random Questions Tag

Update and Current Obsessions!

Hey hey y'all, it's Julsie here :)

So I've been absolutely dying under all my school work- just a quick update, I got offered into a university to do the 5 year Translation programme, which I accepted the offer and moved into the dorms, but in my first week of school I got offered into another university into Year 2, to study Psychology for a total of 3 years. I took up the offer, because Translation wasn't what I thought it would be- Its just plainly chinese-english translation and I've been doing that my whole life (multicultural probs) so I found it really boring. 

So to sum it up, I basically skipped the first year of university, and will graduate at 20. No pressure, right? Lol.

But I'm knee deep in mid-terms so far, but thankfully, like the typical asian, I've been getting straight As.... yet here I am blogging instead of studying. Awks.

I finally got to post my first video on Youtube! Check it out below @LittleMissJuliana! Please support me and hit like and subscribe and leave me a comment, it means a lot! :))

Beauty obsessions:

I've been absolutely obsessed with my new MAC Blacktrack Fluidline. I got it the other day because my old Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner was drying up, and I really wanted to amp up my everyday look with a winged eyeliner. If you guys follow me on twitter @MissJulianaYu, then you know that I simply adore my kohl eyeliners from Rimmel but it's not as practical as it's just so smooth and creamy that it'll smudge if I tried to wing it out.

I've been really liking the Sinful Colors nail polish in the shade Snow Me White. It's such a perfect white to enhance a tan and it doesn't look tacky like tippex on your nails. It's not a cream-based white, nor is it a bluey white, but doesn't look dodgy at all. Love, love, love!

I'm so obsessed with the MAC Plum Foolery blush. It's a gorgeous shade of plum, with a hint of sheen. But, coming from an oily skin-ed gal it's nothing major, it just looks like a satin finish. I love finishing my look off with a plum-shade blush and a rosey lipgloss- the perfect transition look from summer to fall. It's actually still really warm in Hong Kong so I've been living my fall-season dreams through my makeup and fashion. Thankfully all the lecture halls in uni have the air con blasting. 

Stupid story: Once I got so excited cos I was actually kinda chilly, and was so excited that fall in Hong Kong exists (it's usually too humid for fall!) but after 5 minutes I realised my air conditioner was on... #awkward much.

Last, but definitely not least is the L'oreal Shine Caresse lip gloss. I'm especially liking the shade 606 Lolita, which I've heard is only available in Asia. So come to Asia or get your friends to ship it to you, it's so worth it! It's the perfect doll-like pink, but nothing too extravagant. It's natural looking and is the perfect summer-to-fall transition shade!

That's it for all my beauty obsessions now, definitely check them out if you get a chance to! Love you all and miss you!

Love, Juliana xox

Internet Fails, Nike and Pokemon!

Hi All! It's Sally here!

Apologies for not blogging! My modem decided to never turn on again after a year of being slightly faulty so it was finally time to get a new one which took some time to install but I'm back and all is up and running!

So along with my internet breaking down, my runners or sport shoes whatever you call them decided to start cutting into my heel. I had them for 2 years which is quite a long life for runners so I thought it was finally time to get a new pair and got myself the Nike Free Run 5.0! Wow they are so light and comfortable! I'm so happy with my decision! Although I don't run much they're a comfortable walking shoe or doing whatever exercise you please shoe and they come in some great designs and colours. I got mine in purple again!

This weekend while my internet was down, Pokemon X and Y were released! I bought Pokemon X for no reason in particular and I've played it for like 20 hours already! Best Pokemon of the series yet in my opinion. I'd highly recommend picking it up if you're a Pokemon fan or looking for something new to play. On my team so far I've got:
1. Delphix (Level 56)
2. Pikachu (Level 45)
3. Panpour (Level 47)
4. Lucario (Level 45)
5. Sylveon (Level 46)
6. Charizard (Level 48)
Pikachu and my Sylveon are so cute! So were all the others but then they evolved in to majestic creatures!

Anyway, hope you're all well and living life to the fullest!
Love Sally. x

Fall Fashion and Makeup Essentials!

Hi all,

Since the Fall season is coming up fast, I've been going crazy with Fall fashion and makeup essentials, just to live this Fall to the max #youtuberprobs

Alas, here are my Fall essentials:

Fashion:

1. Chunky Sweaters

Chunky Sweaters are a definite must-have for fall; it's great to cozy up in by the couch, or really practical for those breezy-but-not-really days. What's the downside to looking fashionable yet huggable?!

2. Olive, olive, olive!
Olive is a super trendy colour this Fall, and you don't have to dress head to toe in green to be trendy. Just incorporate some olive-shaded accents into your outfit to stay super on-trend this Fall!

3. Fall boots
Um okay can I just express my love for leather boots in Fall... They look super cute with just jeans and a t shirt, or you can layer higher socks with it so your socks peek out from under your boots. Leather boots are such a classic for Fall, whether it's heeled, flat, tall or ankled, LOVE.

Makeup:

1. Rose Coloured Blush
Rose coloured blush looks great with the earthy tones of Fall, and with the darker months coming up, a rosy pink blush can really brighten up your face.

2. Glowy Skin
Glowy skin is again, super in this Fall season, but lezzbehonest when would you rather have dull looking skin......?
Luminizing products such as highlighters and products with reflective properties can brighten up your skin tone in these duller months, despite the drier skin and darker outfits!

3. Flirty Lashes
I absolutely adore bold, flirty lashes. It opens up the eyes and makes everything so much more fun! The only issue that I have is, when I find a really great mascara (ahem, Covergirl Lashblast, ahem), I'm there sitting in class, and my eyelid tickles because when I look up to take notes, my lashes brushes against my eyelids. First world problems much....

Okay and I'm just throwing this out there since we're on the topic of Fall, but I'm abso-freakin-lutely obsessed with the Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha. It is just beautiful.

So thats it, my Fall fashion and makeup (and drink!) essentials this Fall. Leave me a comment as to what your favourite Fall things are, or tweet me at @MissJulianaYu anytime!

Love,

Julsie xx

Makeup Haul and a Very Happy Sally!

Oh hello! It's Sally here!

On Friday, I had a practise 3 hours English exam which was absolute torture. On that day however, there was a Boost Challenge where you had to wrap yourself in foil so 2 of my friends and I went to the local supermarket, bought some foil which was $1.50 and wrapped ourselves in foil and showed up at Boost! It was very rewarding but a bit embarrassing getting a Boost for 50c! Afterwards, I thought I might treat myself a little since I did just write three essays (9 pages worth of writing!) so I went to Price-line pharmacy to have a look at their make up.

 This is what I bought:

Rimmel

So we all know how much I loved the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and Kate Moss Lipstick in 106. Since those two purchases, I decided that I really liked Rimmel and went ahead to buy the Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Glow and another Kate Moss Lipstick in 12. 12 is an orangey sort of colour. I was going to buy one from Mac but I thought if the orange didn't suite me I would have wasted a whole lot of money. Then... I noticed that if you bought $15 worth of Rimmel you got a free gift which consisted of a waterproof Scandal Eyes mascara, a lip gloss and a blue eye liner. Yay! I always wanted a blue eye liner but didn't know whether or not I could pull it off but now I got one for free I can say there is no harm in trying it and I can safely say, I love Rimmel!

Bourjois

Then I headed over to the Bourjois section. Actually I didn't even know Australia sold Bourjois so I was pleasantly surprised! I decided I needed a foundation since, shock horror *insert inside joke* I don't have any. I heard lots of people raving on about the Bourjois foundations so I decided to get myself one since it was quite a good price as well and I didn't want too much coverage. Then I saw they had the Color Boost Sticks which are basically a copy of the Clinique Chubby Sticks but half price so I got myself one in a nice red! I tried it on and wow I love that stuff! It's so moisturising and has good pigmentation at the same time! Very happy that I found that! While I was at that counter, I noticed Bourjois had a sign too, if you bought more that $20 worth you got a free gift! What a lucky day! The gift consisted of a lovely blush which is so pigmented as well and a primer. The primer does make your skin feel very smooth and soft but I'm not sure how much I will use it as I'm not too keen on layering more and more products on my face. Perhaps I will use it for only very special occasions.

 Other random stuff

I heard a lot about Beauty Blenders but I wasn't too sure where to buy them apart from online but I noticed Maybelline was selling a copy of one in purple so I bought it and I can say it's a very good buy! Although I can't compare it to the original, it does its job well so far. Then I bought an SPF for my face since the Australian Sun should be coming out soon and I don't want to get burnt. Lastly Essie recently got introduced into Australia so I bought two nail polishes from their range which was rather small as Australia is only selling their top colours.

I'll film a review later of all the things I bought on Friday and post it up after I've used them for sometime and have enough information for you. For now I can say that I'm very happy with all the freebies I got! Hope you're all well and I'll talk to you next time.

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette

So um, again, I'm really really sorry for the delayed posts- both Sally and I are knee deep in work and school things, plus personal life issues :/

But on a brighter note, I have a new review for you guys! (Drum roll please....) The Too Faced Natural Eye Palette! At university, everyone here has really natural makeup, if any, and as a makeup crazed person, of course I'd be pulling off all sorts makeup that I can get away with whilst looking as natural as possible.
With some light nudes, taupes, and light pinks with a sheen, you can do a super natural eye makeup, but with the dark browns and shimmery bronze/golds, you can easily amp this up into a night out look.

As you all know, I'm off at college, and this palette has just been my life saver. It's one of the only eyeshadows that I bought with me, and it has everything I can possibly need. It comes with 9 natural shades of eyeshadow, but it includes some shimmery and even a BAM sparkly one. Like what. That's just me in a palette.

Left to Right: Heaven,  Velvet Revolver, Sexpresso, Silk Teddy, Push- Up, Erotica, Nude Beach, Honey Pot, Cocoa Puff

As you can see from the photo above, there are three rows: "Day", "Night" and "Fashion", and this palette has a secret compartment which holds three cards that teaches you the three looks, if you're a beginner and don't know where to start. The cards slips in in the flappy part of the palette, so you can even carry those cheat sheets with you!

I've been absolutely loving this palette, as there are a ton of college events and nights out, so I'd be amping up my eye makeup, but also eyeshadows appropriate for class. 

Leave me a message as to what you think about it, or tweet me at @MissJulianaYu!

Love, from Juju xoxo
