Neutrogena's All-in-One Make-up Removing Cleansing Wipes

Sale at London Drugs for $5.25

I ran out of makeup remover wipes so I had to get another batch. In the past I used Garnier's green cleansing wipes, Loreal's age-something or another cleansing wipes. This time I wanted under $10 dollars that didn't sting my eyes.

I was looking for wipes based on their price, sheets per package and its ability to remove makeup. I looked at Pond's which was 25 @ $8.99, Clean and Clear's new Makeup Remover line 25 @ $7.99, Garnier's 30 @ $9.99 then as I walked away I saw a itty bitty yellow sale sign near the Neutrogena area, 25 @ Sale!! $5.25. After walking up and down the aisle like a supermodel I finally decided I'd try out the Neutrogena wipes for the price point(and the fact I do not have a paycheque coming in).

As always I soon as I came home, I tried the wipe out and it was a great! It didn't sting my eyes, removed all my makeup, left a really fresh feeling on my face and never dried it out(as I have super dry skin). I might go back and buy another pack if its still on sale.. hehe Oh~ the original price for these babies were $10.23 or something.

Kingyo Izakaya Denman. St. Vancouver BC

(above are the 4 dishes out of 11 we had at Kingyo)

Tonight my hubby @vancitycanuck (on twitter) and I decided to go for our celebratory dinner. We were celebrating that it's been a month since we've gotten married, sold our condo at the same time, moved out by ourselves and moved in by ourselves, signed off all the papers etc. This has been a well deserved dinner and so picking where I wanted to eat was a big deal.

I was done eating white food since coming back from Mexico and I really wanted to get the bad taste left in my mouth since eating "sushi" in Mexico. The thoughts of tasteless lukewarm seabass sashimi left a very.. very sour taste in my month. Since coming back, I've been dreaming of izakaya and fresh Vancouver seafood. Tonight was the night..

We ate our hearts out(especially my little heart).. We asked the waitress, which was so kind to us, how many dishes usually a couple ate, she said it averages around 5-6 dishes...

My hubby and I polished off 10 izakaya dishes, he had the sapporo and I had the asahi and took home the stewed pork belly "kakuni" and half of the japanese style calamari. Towards the end we were feeling quite full so I didn't order the almond tofu. damn! The waitress who took care of our bill was quite amazed and asked us for our opinion on the food.. at this point we were the only party other than a big group of japanese students left in the restaurant. I told her everything was delish! The service was great and the waitresses were terrrrific!!! Our bill came out to a mear $150 which was much less than expected~

I love izakaya and tried all the Guu's, Gyoza King, Nann Chu and now Kingyo.. Kingyo was definitely upper crust than Guu but in the end, I think I would go back to our old standby.. the Guu in gastown.

Our Honeymoon..

Its been a month since me and @vancitycanuck got married. It's also been a month since we've come back from our honeymoon in the Maya Riveria. We stayed at the Imperial Valentin Maya and its ranked #14 of the resort located in the Mayan according to TripAdvisor. There's a reason why its ranked #14 and not #67..

It was so beautiful there and the weather was fantastic! I recommend visiting any resort on the Mayan side of Mexico. The beach, the water.. was fabulous.

Our Wedding..

Gosh its almost been a month since we've gotten married.. Everybody asks the same question.. "Anything changed after you guys got married?"


No. Anybody's whose married can tell you that.

What da MAC?

The bad habits I've accumulated the past month.. But I'm not blaming myself, I ran out of makeup for the last 6 months so I decided to just buy everything !

The first girl sold me on their new Mineralize SatinFinish SPF 15 Foundation and powder. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so this is a perfect line for me. Its quite sheer but makes your skin look pretty smooth. The only downside is that the foundation has that darn sparkle in it but its not too much. (Since coming back from the Mayan Riveria I haven't been able to use this makeup cause I got a shade too dark.. I'm keepin them around for the winter). I also bought their baked mineral eyeshadow, LOVE this eyeshadow.

Overall the MAC mineral makeup work pretty good, what I DO NOT recommend is the Baresenutals mineral powder they sell at Sephora. IT SUCKS although their brushes are great.

The second girl sold me on the Studio Fix(which I requested to buy from the first salesgirl but steered me towards the mineral). I've always loved the studio fix, it does a good job giving medium coverage and it has a mirror(a plus!). I also got the DazzleGlass in Steppin Out cause I feel fabulous in it haha

Side note, the 5 times I visited a MAC counter I only got service 2wice but those two times the MAC "makeup artist" aka salespersons were quite fun to deal with.

Cats, Nails and Cosmetics

Browsing through the internet, I'm finding that I fit into a certain category that typically blogs.. the typical blogger is female, loves cats, loves makeup, cosmetics, personalizing everything with cute stuff.

Japanese Nail Art April/May 2009

Once I came back from my mexican honeymoon, I found my nails were a bit flamboyant for everyday wear and decided to get them removed.. And to replace them I wanted fruity nails LOL!

Last week I actually went to a job interview. During the job interview I started talking with my hands and I guess the interviewer saw my nails and got taken back. Then I realized, oh... ok these nails are not going to land me a job. I got another interview on Monday but I will definitely keep my hands below the desk this time and not point. OOPS~
