How about you? What would you pair with cut out leggings? ***

Instant What???

Stopped by the nearby Asian (i think it's Vietnamese) grocery store to get more aloe vera juice and saw this. Has anybody else tried this instant mix? I'm too lazy to make it from scratch ;)

Dede Instant Boba Milk Tea 3-in-1 mix (12 packs) $2.99

Ready to make some thai tea boba? Ingredients: Left to Right: Thai Boba Milk Tea 3-in-1 Mix Tapioca Pearls Big Boba Tea Straws STEPS: I decided to cook the tapioca pearls first. uncooked hard tapioca pearls a.k.a. boba 1) Boil 10 cups of water for 1 cup of tapioca pearls into a large pot. Bring the water to a boil and pour tapioca pearls into the water and stir it slowly. Cover and leave for 20 minutes. Turn off the stove and let it sit there for 15 minutes. 2) Strain and rinse with water. 3) Cook sugar syrup. You will need 1 cup of white sugar, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 2 cups of water. Mix, cook at medium high heat, and bring to a boil. Turn off stove and let it cool. Pour the syrup in the cooked tapioca pearls and store in one container. 4) Put 1 packet of instant boba milk tea mix in a glass of water. Mix thoroughly. Since it's a 3-in-1 mix, no need to add creamer and sugar. 5) Add a scoop of tapioca pearls mixed with sugar syrup. Add ice, big straw, and serve. Don't forget to refrigerate the leftover mixed cooked tapioca pearls and sugar syrup. MY VERDICT: Ofcourse, the authentic brewed thai tea tastes better (this doesn't taste exactly like the real thing, you know how instants are) but this is good enough for me ;) ***

NOTD: Tiffany & Co. Inspired Nails + Random Thoughts Ep. 2

Some of you might be familiar of this nail design because I had a youtube video from way back. It was deleted tho because of copyright issues. Maybe because I used the song "Moon River" as background =( I finally had time to recreate this design. First, I painted my nails with China Glaze 'For Audrey' Now it's Konad Stamping time! ^ I used the Konad special polish in White and the middle design on image plate m56 ^ You can leave it like this topped with clear nail polish. I decided to add clear rhinestones in the middle of the ribbon and we're done! Looks easy right? But it's really not. Getting used to Konad Stamping is the key. You may mess up a few times but you gotta keep on tryin.

• I report for Jury duty tomorrow...uggh!
• I dyed my hair light ash brown but I don't see much difference just a bit darker

• My mom's friend didn't recognize me coz I gained some weight, wth?
• I refrained from eating rice since Monday, too hard if you're asian
• Forgot how much i love my NARS Angelika blush!

FOTD Feat. Pink Lippies

So I cave in and broke my 'No Makeup Haul' rule to buy some pink lippies.

EYES UDPP in 'Sin' as lid primer Urban Decay eyeshadows in 'Last Call' and 'Sin' L'Oreal Lineur Intense Eyeliner in 'Carbon Black' CG LashBlast Luxe Mascara in 'Black Platinum' Milani Browfix LIPS MAC lipstick in 'Pink Nouveau' FACE P&J Whitening Emulsion MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer Smashbox Halo MAC Summer Rose Beauty Powder on cheeks

in my Ruffle Front Dress from F21

I've been wanting to get MAC 'Saint Germain' but thought it looked too pale on me so I picked up 'Pink Nouveau' instead. It's a satin finish and a lot brighter in person, kinda like barbie pink. I also stopped by Rite Aid and found Revlon Matte in 'Pink Pout' which looks like a shade lighter.

Have a great weekend to all! ***
