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! (=

Fashion and Beauty Haul | Ross, Marshalls, & TheFaceShop

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday... actually not really because it's school tomorrow! AHHH... Well for today I have a haul for you guys. I did a good amount of shopping this week and I'd like to share with you guys what I got.




Today, I went to The Face Shop and you guys should already know how much I love that place. Today I got a primer. You know I'm always for making my face looking matte so I got an oil control make up base. Ever since school started, I don't have time to touch up with my powder during school so I wanted something that'll keep my face oil free even with powder and bb cream. I also got a White Mud nose pack. I wanted a cream type instead of a strip. And of course you gotta love The Face Shop freebies!

On to the clothes! I bought these tops from Ross for under 10$ each (what a great deal). My clothes are getting darker since it is getting colder. The striped one is a bit knit but the long sleeve is a thin fabric. The long sleeve is very plain and simple but I like the little zipper-like pocket on the side. I love stripes even though it is said it makes one look fat but as long as it's big stripes that's fine!

I bought this one in Marshalls for a bit more expensive than the last two. I was a bit hesitant to buy this because it's orange and I don't really have much color in my wardrobe but black,gray,brown,white,etc. but I thought why not and bought this. I bought it in M when I usually buy clothes a size bigger than I really am. I am a lot more comfortable in a size large. When I wore this it fit perfectly but a little tight around my arms (my problem area) but that's fine, I can rock this with a cardigan hehe.
