It was 33 degrees today and we were freezing watching the St. Patrick's Day Parade, the girls and I hit up H&M, for some reason I love the H&M in New York a lot better than the one in LA...
I am pooped and exhausted, we've been waking up early the past how many days and technically it's only 5AM in Cali! So that's hella early for me! And man are NY drivers crazy! But I love it, honestly I love how there's always something to do or somewhere to go at the wee hours of the night here in NY, in LA everything closes so early....NY is the place to party, that's for sure. I am hoping I can make a stop at the MAC PRO store, but knowing my luck and busy schedule, I might not have a chance...we'll see.
Also some of you asked about Monistat being a face primer, and like I mentioned before, it can be used as a primer because they both have the same main ingredient DIMETHICONE, which is a silicone that is found in many primers. so it's VERY safe for the face, it doesn't have to be strictly be used for 'chafing'. This "beauty trick" was actually brought to my attention by a mineral makeup company owner and I've mentioned it long time ago but thought id try it out myself recently and it's an awesome alternative!

So here are some pics from my trip so far:
View after take off at Burbank Airport
Of course...NYC Taxi Cabs
St. Patty's Day Parade:
It was SO PACKED, people were on the street signs!
Went to Duane Reade and I got an Apt 5 brush which is only available in areas in NY, it's similar to the 187 brush from MAC in the sense they LOOK the same, but the quality is so much different, this brush is decent for light application of blush but the hairs are very cheap and it sheds! But I love the handle!
Welcome back sis! Missed you. Your trip sure looked fun. I miss NY too. Such a nice place to get away from everything.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic from the airplane window :) Glad you had a safe flight, sorry about the delays gotta hate when that happens during the holidays :(
ReplyDeleteHey Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteI just had a question. How do you get the outer "V" shape when you apply your eyeshadow makeup? For some reason, everytime I do mine, it comes out like a blob of eyeshadow that has no particular shape. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Oh and here's my email: hannah.kong@hotmail.com.
Welcome to NYC! Hope you have an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great tip! We had a performance this weekend and I used the Monistat on the guys since they sweat quite heavily under the stage lights.
ReplyDeleteIt worked wonderfully and after 10 hours the makeup still looked perfect!
LOL...can't believe you went to see the parade...i watched it on tv. all those drunk ppl puking all over...oh yes that's nyc for you...taxis are crazy here but they get you there!
ReplyDeleteGirl I thought you were from canada, its not that cold...it gets way colder, but that part passed already...take more pics!
NY looks fun. i've never been, so i'm hoping to make a trip there at least once in my lifetime. :D btw, i got my ardell lash & brow stuff. planning on doing a 2 week testing phase. hope it works!
ReplyDeleteI love H&M! And NY.. even though I've never been there yet, but looks like fun! :D
ReplyDeleteawwwwww i'm so jealous you're in NY right now for a whole week! all the goodies are there (minus high sales tax). i do agree that the east coast has a better h&m. i actually discovered h&m while I was in boston... and the tax-free on clothing purchases doesn't hurt either :).
ReplyDeletelooks like it's all play for you right now. i'll see you soon when you get back! have fun and be safe over there! i still miss you!
p.s. jackie and thu wants a girls night out with all four of us :D.
Glad you got back safely!!! Looooove NYC!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having fun, despite the cold weather! BTW, that take off photo is BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeletei had no idea so many Americans celebrate st patricks day.. then again alot of Irish ppl did immigrate to US back in the days. I love the take off pic!! glad you had a good time :)
