Fashion Favorites At The Moment/Haul | Forever 21, H&M, Marc Jacobs

Hi everyone! Happy new year! I hope you all had wonderful holidays! (=

I wanted to share what some fashion favorites at the moment and some recently bought stuff. There are a lot more now since I originally planned on publishing this post on November. (I know, that was forever ago) but here are some clothings/accesories I have been in love with~

• Forever 21 white studded color blouse (new&FAVE) It's kind of hard to wear this nowadays though because it is so cold~ I pair it up with a black cardigan.

• H&M Pink sequined peter pan collar blouse (new&FAVE) It was buy 1 get 1 free! I got the one below along with it.

• H&M Gradient black/white/gray pullover (new & FAVE)

• Forever 21 Black laced sleeve dress (new) I bought this for an event I was volunteering for for school. It was an all black formal attire dress code. I had a blast too!

• Marc by Marc Jacobs white and gold watch (new&FAAAAAVE) The only thing my parents bought me on Black Friday but I AM LOVING IT.

I hope you guys enjoyed and don't forget to follow my instagram @melissaosia for more!

The Face Shop's Span Oil Control Pre-Make Up Review

Hi everyone! Long time no blog! Ah... how I missed it...

Today, I have another beauty product review for all of you (I haven't done one in forevah). I will be reviewing a discontinued product from The Face Shop. It is from their Span line. I mentioned this product in my haul.

Front of tube

Back of tube

This product is mean to absorb sebum and minimizes shine and helps with staying power of your makeup. It works like a primer. It comes in a 30 mL tube. 

It doesn't really spread easily and it says to only get a small amount and spread evenly but the amount I get doesn't seem to cover the parts I want to put it on. I usually put this on on my T-zone and the middle of face and my chin. It does absorb the sebum and makes putting on BB cream easier and the finish look looks matte and clean.

I must say though, it does not last too long. By the time I get home, I am an oily mess once again. I'll say it lasts about 3-4 hours?

Like I said before, it is discontinued so I've been looking for other alternatives. As you may know, I am an oil control freak. 

Overall rating: 3/5 

Smell: 4/5 

Texture: 2/5 

Oil Control: 3/5

Pros: It gives you a very clean, matte looking finish after putting on BB cream

Cons: It doesn't last long enough! )=

Will I buy again? Probably not... I'm looking into other alternatives. 

Happy reading! (=

P.S. What do you guys think of the labels? Should I keep it? Yay or Nay? Leave your feedback below in the comments! (=

*I was not paid to review this product. I bought this product with my own money*

G.N.O | Saturday, September 1, 2012 | Seaport & Bambu

Our Hot Pot. Selca-ing in Bambu. The girls.

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday, I just wanted to blog about my amazing outing last night. (=

So every Saturday, me, my cousins, and my aunts go out somewhere to either watch a movie or eat someplace new. Yesterday, we went to Seaport Seafood & Hot Pot. It's a little like Boiling Crab but it has Hot Pot! This location has been changed to so many different names but always had Hot Pot.

So we have to eat on the table (if you guys have been to these kind of seafood places, you know). They give you gloves and a bib to wear because it WILL get MESSY but that's the fun of it.

We had some shrimp with 2 different flavors, and my favorite was the beef Hot Pot! It was SPICY and I LOVED it.

I look pretty ridiculous in the first box. Yay lime+peace.
Crawfish. Putting on that bib.

I tried crawfish for the first time. It was really weird to eat. OH NO I forgot to take a picture of my Dungeness Crab! Our waiter was great she was patient with a big group of 9 and was very kind. The other workers as well was great. (Check this place out).

I posted these pictures on my instagram, if you don't follow me yet... you should! (=

So after dinner we went to Bambu which was like next door for some dessert.

It was a pretty cold night so I went with Hot Chocolate. Their hot chocolate had a different taste compared to others I've tried and I've tried lots. It was pretty good but can't beat Starbucks...

I can't wait for next week, we're going to Boracay... Grill. HAHA talk to you guys soon!

Happy reading. (=

Asian Wired Headband (Usamimi)

HI everyone! So I had this headband for awhile now but never got the change to talk about it!

I don't really know what it's really called I just stumbled upon it while shopping. I got this at INVU and it was a BOHO but sadly, I didn't get another one because I was just trying this out.

I really like it! It looked better on me when I had no bangs but I got it cut recently so yeah )=
I'm still playing around with it and trying to figure out what to wear with it since the design I chose is kind of hard to match with.

Any suggestions on what matches with this? (=
