review + swatches : Canmake Juicy Lady Liquid Cheek *

Hey there, Internet friends! :) I'm still alive, and back with a new makeup review! The last time I reviewed makeup was more than half a year ago, I think? So the whole process of doing my makeup and shooting took me quite a while to do. (Plus for some reason it's always super windy whenever I decide to shoot for reviews. TY wind for giving me anime hair, I guess 😂) But I am back with a new one, finally! This time I'm reviewing the Canmake Juicy Lady Liquid Cheek*, one of the newest products from Canmake Philippines 💕

my 2019 journal setup

Over the past year, journaling has become something that I really love and enjoy doing. I used to think that I wouldn't love any activity other than photography, but then I got into journaling. (It's now a very close second!) Since getting into it I've come across a lot of inspiring people, on Instagram mostly, who do stuff like flip-throughs of their journal or "journal with me" videos. As I watched more and more of them, I also felt that I wanted to do something similar, but I wasn't sure how to start. I'll try to figure it out somehow, but for now, I'll just talk about my journal for 2019 and my current journaling setup 🌿

Malaysia 2018 haul

My haul from our Malaysia trip last December. (In which everything I bought sparks joy, ha!) I posted photos of my haul on my Instagram and Twitter, but I thought I'd talk about it a bit more here! Aian and I have been going to KL every December for five years now, so I'm more or less familiar with the malls and what shops/brands are there. So with this trip I tried to limit myself to things that weren't available in Manila. In order of priority, the things I wanted to get were JLPT textbooks > skincare > journaling supplies > makeup. But also, I had to budget my spending so I had some money left for Comic Fiesta PLUS for souvenirs for my family. And my pocket money for this trip was...not a lot to begin with _(:3」∠)_

product empties #5

Wow, long time no empties post! I keep all my empties in one big zip-lock bag, and when it's full then I know it's time for an empties post. It just took a bit longer to fill the bag this time, haha. Last year I became SUPER LAZY with skincare, so I didn't really use up a lot of products. I started getting back into multi-step skincare in June, and from there I was able to finally use stuff up! Here are all the products that I finished in 2018:
