Mini Haul/Unboxing: Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darlings

I bought Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darling Set. It has:

• Better Than Sex mascara (deluxe size)
• Shadow Insurance (deluxe size)
• Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer (deluxe size)
• Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer (deluxe size)

And all of this for $20!

Now of course, I had to wait a while for the delivery, and since Too Faced doesn't do direct international delivery to my country, I had to use another service for that. But it was totally worth it!

I will be throwing away my mascara, there isn't much left of my eye shadow primer. My bronzer has huge pan. So I needed replacements. This kit seemed perfect, and it's vegan-friendly! Better than Sex, Shadow Insurance and Chocolate Soleil are all very hyped products so I am excited.

The box!!

Inside the box.

The pretties!!

You get to choose 2 samples with every order and I got sample cards for Cocoa Powder Foundation and Tinted Beauty Balm. After I finish up the non-vegan ones I already have, I want to try their stuff too, and since having matching shades are very important with foundation and BB it's very nice to be able to try out samples.



And I will most definitely review these!

Vegan Recipe: Japchae

Japchae is Korean food, kind of similar to Chinese chop suey but a bit different. Also note that this is "simple" version of Japchae, as the original recipe is quite time consuming.

Ingredient:

• Cellophane noodles (aka Chinese vermicelli) (4 cups) * soak this in water for 2 hours before cooking, don't use hot water
• Carrot, cut into thin strips (1 cup)
• Onion, chopped (2 cups)
• mushrooms of your choice, sliced (1-2 cup) * I like to use 1 cup shiitake and 1 cup cloud ear mushrooms but really use whatever mushroom you have
• Bunching onion or scallion (1 cup)
• Sugar (50ml)
• Sesame salt (25ml)
• Sesame seed oil (25ml)
• Minced garlic (25ml)
• Cooking oil (25ml)
• Soy sauce (1 cup)
• pepper
• eggplant (optional)

* Conventionally, beef is used but this is vegan recipe so we will skip that

* The amounts of ingredient is just a suggestion, adjust it to your own liking. To be honest, I just eyeball everything.

Cut all the things!

Medium heat, put oil in pan, then bunching onion (scallion)

Then put carrot, onion, mushrooms, eggplant in the pan.

Use some pepper

When the onion starts to become a little transparent take them out and move everything to another bowl

Put sesame seed oil and bunching onion in the pan

And then minced garlic, soy sauce, sugar

When sugar is melted and the sauce becomes more viscous put in the noodles

Stir for a couple minutes and put in the vegetables we cooked before

Turn off the stove and stir a little bit

Add some sesame seed oil and sesame salt

...Aaaaaand you're done!

You can eat this alone or you can eat this with rice. This is quite oily and probably not the healthiest but it's okay every once in a while :P

Current Wishlist

I know, buying too much is a problem. But there is nothing wrong with having a wishlist so I know what to buy to replace the empties, right?

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Rush

I really need an MLBB lipstick, and this one looks lovely!
*Urban Decay is cruelty free but owned by L'oreal (that sells to mainland China)

Shiro Cosmetics A Bit of Light Reading, Wizard Wheezes, If You've Got Enough Nerve

I am drooling over the Marauders, Mugwumps, and Muggles collection. I want ALL of them but I will contain myself and only buy everyday shades when it's time.

Shiro Cosmetics The Blood of My Enemies, Steve O' Lantern, What's This Lever Do?

First of all can we talk about the lip gloss name? I will wear this whenever I'm facing tough. These eye shadow colors are soooo beautiful and unique I can't even.

Femme Fatale Jewels From the Deep , Heart's Desires

These are the prettiest nail polish I have ever seen everrrrr

Glamour Doll Eyes Halo Collection, Liars Keep Secrets Collection, Bad Seed

Ordering collection would be too many so I'm ordering samples but aren't they pretty? Aren't they???? And of course a girl needs a black eyeliner, a vegan one.

Glamour Doll Eyes Glitter Fix, Bikini Car Wash

Glitter looks better on a glitter base, so I want one. And I want a straight-up glitter to go with them!

Corvus Cosmetics The Bronzes Collection

I know these are similar colors to Halo Collection and I will not buy these until I use up the Halo Collection samples but I want to try this brand.

Matt & Nat Kintla in Midnight

This looks so pretty and functional. Their bags are all vegan and ugh they have so many pretty stuff I want them all even though I only carry one bag at a time.

Matt & Nat Clarke in Macaroon

I cannot decide between Kintla and this!!! ahh

Finish 16 by 2016

I decided to do 16 by 2016 since I am trying to finish up some non-vegan stuff. I put this up on reddit MakeupRehab but I figured I'd blog about it too. I already emptied the Etude House eyeliner (have another one though) and Laneige lipstick had to be tossed because I'm pretty sure it went bad. I added A'pieu product to make it 16.
