Juliana Yu: 13 Personal Questions Tag!

Hi all, I saw this and it seemed quite fun so I thought I'd do it for y'all to get to know me a bit better!

1. What do you order at Starbucks?

I have this down to the science.

If I'm feeling healthy: Skinny caramel latte (100 calories!)
If it's hot: Java Chip frappucino (caffeinated) or Caramel Cream frappucino (no-coffee = no teeth stains!)
If it's a fall-kinda-day: Pumpkin Spice Latte but if it's not the fall season then a Latte with a pump of chai and a pump of white chocolate mocha, it tastes the same!

2. What's one thing in your closet you can't live without?

My blouses! They go with jeans, jeggings, leggings, and any type of shorts.

3. What's the one thing that most people don't know about you?

I'm an avid pianist, been playing since I was 4. I'm aiming for my diploma level next year. If I pass it, then I'm an official concert pianist!
(My favourite type of music to play are Chopin's nocturnes! The Chopin Nocturne Op.9 No.1 is to die for)

4. What's the one thing you want to do before you die?

Find a soul mate. I don't mean date more or be in more relationships or get married or anything, but an actual person that I'm genuinely destined to be with. I guess I've just watched too many rom coms!

5. What's one food you can't live without?

Pizza. I'm breaking the Chinese stereotype hahaha :')
I'd also say chocolate but it's not exactly food it's just a type of dessert/sweet/junk food.

6. What's one quote that you live your life by?

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times. If one only remembers to turn on the light"
- Albus Dumbledore.

It reminds me that I can control my own happiness and nothing can stop me from achieving what I want in life. Also that Hogwarts will always be there to welcome me home #jkrowlingisqueen

7. What do you like and dislike about the YouTube community?

Like: It's really easy to make new friends from around the world, I've made quite a few already!

Dislike: The YouTube community sometimes acts like the youtuber with the most expensive, high-quality camera has the best videos. It may be true, since good editing comes from experience, but people seem to be forgetting that everyone started off with a bad quality video that was filmed in their room.

8. What's your number one song on your iPod/iTunes?

Anything country. I love country music. But I especially like anything by Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and Florida Georgia Line.

9. What kind of style would you describe yourself as having?

Comfortable but classic and slightly preppy.






10. Favourite number?

Anything even... because I've got OCD.

11. Two hobbies?

Baking and working out! Shopping comes in really close as well hehe

12. Two pet peeves?

I absolutely hate it when people chew loudly and/or with their mouths open. No one wants to see what your mushed food looks like okay can you not.

I also hate it when people do that leg-shakey thing when they're fidgeting. I see it from the corner of my eye and it drives me mad it's as if there's an earthquake that I'm not part of can you just not.

13. Your guilty pleasure?

Watching TV in bed with some sort of junk food.... it's usually a show from the CW or something like Rich Kids of Beverly Hills that I've totally been loving. It's exactly how me and my friend E act without spending as much money as them (I wish!)

So that's all for tonight, I'm gonna um... curl up in bed and watch some TV with chocolate chips... awks.
Feel free to do this questions tag and I'll write again next week!

Love Juliana XOXO

Priceline (beauty) Haul

 Hello there my friends, it's Sally here!

A few weeks ago in Priceline (a pharmacy) there was a big sale and all make up was 40% off! Yay! So I made a trip there and bought a few things tested them out and thought I'd share them with you and what my opinions are on the products.

1. Real Techniques Powder Brush

Wow this brush is good. I had a really dodge cheap one before this because I didn't think having a good brush would make a difference. Eventually that brush began to fall apart and I kept having to pick the little hairs off my face.I though enough was enough and got a new brush. Definitely do not regret this purchase and I look forward to getting more brushes from Real Techniques.

2. Essie Nail Varnish

I've really been liking Essie Nail polish more lately. I like how thin the consistency is so it dries faster and lasts longer. These two colours looked really pretty so I got them haha! Typical girly answer. They are in the shades Marshmellow and Limo-scene.





3. Bourjois 1 Seconde Gel Enamel

This stuff is good. It's also quite cheap which made me question how good it would be. I bought this because I had a school formal and my dress was blue so I wanted matching nails. The brush is quite wide so I could paint my nails very quickly. Apparently that's why it's called 1 second, because of the time it takes to paint each nail. This is in the shade, Bleu Water.


4. Rimmel Apocalips

This is in the shade Stellar. I really like this stuff. The pigmentation is so good and it's not sticky like a lip gloss which makes me happy. It appears quite glossy when you apply it but eventually tones down when it dries, not to a matte but not as shiny. The smell and taste is pleasant and hardly noticeable too. I would highly recommend this product, one of Rimmels best lip products!


5. Maybelline Illegal Length

I got this in the waterproof formula. The wand is much smaller than the cover girl wands which I really like. I'm not too sure of this mascara yet though, sure it adds a tiny bit of length but it lacks volume and the product seems to dry so I keep having to dip my brush in for more. Not too impressed but it's good for more natural looking lashes.



6. Rimmel Match Perfection

Okay, I think I'm definitely a Rimmel girl. This foundation is perfection. I have combination skin and this stuff is so good! It's got I'd say a medium coverage which can be build able. It doesn't smell too scented. I was a little worried about how runny it was but it works and makes my skin look good so I'm happy!



7. Maybelline Color Tattoo

Wow it was weird to write color because I spell it as colour. Theses to shades are called, Bad to the Bronze and Inked in Pink. These are very similar to the Mac Paint Pots in fact these actually work better for me personally because the Mac Paint Pots creased on me a bit. I know some people are the opposite so I guess you just have to experiment but I'm excited to get these in more shades!

8. Rimmel Kate Moss 107

These Kate Moss lipsticks are up there! These shade is my favourite out of all the ones I own! I think it's perfect for winter or autumn! The Kate Moss lipsticks last a long time and have really good pigmentation! I also like the packaging. I hope Rimmel keeps releasing more of these!




9. Lanterns!

These are actually from Typo. I've wanted some for ages but didn't know where to put them but I finally had an idea. They make my room feel so cosy and I really want more. They were easy to put together and I just love them so much! How cute do they look?





So that's all for now. I hope you're all well! It's officially summer here now so it's getting rather warm! Until next time, love! xxx
