Perfect Imperfections

There's this tag that has big going around youtube a lot lately. It's called perfect imperfections. I enjoy watching the videos on this tag so I decided to make a blog version of it. So basically, you state three things you don't like about yourself and three things you do like about yourself. So here I go...

3 things I don't like about myself

1. Boobs - Boobs are girls' major accessories now days. The whole media portrays big boobs as sexy, beautiful, gorgeous, etc. Unfortunately, I'm on the small side. I can't wear those sexy tops or dresses that need boobs to fill them up. I usually go for tops that don't show cleavage or accentuate my boobs like a sweetheart neckline. I wish I had bigger boobs but I don't think I would go the drastic route and do a plastic surgery. It just doesn't feel right for me to do that.

2. Facial Structure - I don't like my chubby cheeks. I wish I had more defined cheeks. I try to contour them but that doesn't even help. My face makes me look more fat than I really am. I want a face structure like Vanessa Hudgens. She has these cheeks bones that are so gorgeous. My cheeks are just plain.

3. Skin color - I'm super tanned. I'm this Filipino girl with a dark tan. I know most Filipino girls are into those skin lightening products like papaya soap but I don't use them. I know I don't like my skin color but I'm not going to use a skin lightening product to make a change. And I'm not the type of girl who avoids the beach or outdoors in general to avoid getting darker. Why do some girls do that?! I soak up the sun! So it doesn't help my skin color if I'm just a beach bum almost every weekend. I wish I was just tanned. Not super-overly tanned.

3 things I like about myself

1. Smile/Teeth - This is one thing I really love about myself. I'm proud to say that I don't have any cavities nor did I need any braces. I just have a natural and beautiful teeth/smile. I take good care of my teeth, even when I was a child! So yay to me! LOLs.

2. Nails - I get a lot of compliments on my nails. I like how my nail beds are long and not short and stubby. I haven't had any acrylics before. I feel like I don't need them and I don't want to ruin my natural nails.

3. "Looking younger than my age" - I also get a lot of compliments from people saying that I look younger than my age. I'm 23 and a lot of people think I'm not even 21 yet. I'd rather look young than my actual age. When I'm in my 30s, I hope I'll still be able to look like I'm in my 20s.

Here is one of my favorite youtube videos that I enjoyed watching this tag on. It's once again by my favorite youtube guru JLovesMac1 featuring ThatsHeart.

LC Style

Lauren Conrad (LC) came out with a book that's about her style/fashion and style/fashion tips. Besides Vanessa Hudgens, LC is definitely one of my style icons. She has a simple but yet pretty style. It's elegant but not too much. She doesn't go overboard to a point where it's too intricate with her outfits. I love her. I'm excited about this book. I want to go pick up a copy now.

Banging!

I have side bangs and I usually cut them on my own with my scissors. Here's a video of an interesting way to cut bangs. She uses a razor to cut her bangs. When she said that she uses a razor, I thought she meant one of those razors made just for cutting hair. It's really a razor used to shave your legs. I tried doing this the other day and my bangs came out great.

I love JLovesMac1. She's super funny and entertaining to watch. She's my favorite beauty guru on youtube.

The Little Black Dress

Here's a dress that I would love to add to my collection of little black dresses. I love the sweetheart neckline and how it can be dressed up casual or formal. I found this dress on ebay by searching Japan fashion.

Eskinol

I love this facial cleanser. It is a product of the Philippines but it does wonders for my skin. This product prevents pimples, lightens skin, and removes excess oil and dirt. There are reviews online that say it is drying for your skin, but I find no problem with it. My skin is a combination of oily and dry. It successfully removed excess oil and dirt from my face. I have the classic version of this facial cleanser but they also come in papaya, cucumber, avocado, and lemon. I want to try the papaya one next. I highly suggest this beauty product.

Dreams

My dreams in pictures. What are your dreams?

What Time Is It?

I've been wanting a watch for awhile now. Being a nursing major, a watch is must to take vitals on patients. I find myself staring at the wall clocks while doing vitals which is a little difficult since you have maneuver yourself. Having a watch at hand will make things easier. So I've been searching and I've come across these two choices. What do you think I should choose?

Betsey Johnson

Juicy Couture

Booties

Living in Hawaii, boots aren't such a major necessity. Flip flops and open toe footwear are so I have a lot of those! Since fall is here and I don't own a pair, I've been wanting to own some booties. I want some ankle booties. I found some super cute pairs on forever21.com.

Here's what I would buy.

I want it both black and brown. I'm not usually the type that buys the same type of clothing or footwear in different colors but these booties are an exception. I love the simple detailing. I definitely will buy these.

I'm not really a fan of studs. I thought these booties were cute but I don't think it would be my "go to" booties. It would be a great item to add to my closet though. I like adding different pieces to my wardrobe that I wouldn't think I would wear.

1 Shoulder

I've been wanting a one shoulder dress and I haven't found a perfect one yet. I want a one shoulder dress in preferably with the sleeves 3/4 length. I've been searching online and I found a couple that I like on amiclubwear.com.

Here are my likes

Concealer

I'm sorry I've been neglecting my blog. I've been so busy with school. Projects, studying, papers, and more studying were the activities that took a huge part of my days. You know how that goes. This is the first weekend where I can actually not worry about school work. Yay!

This is one of the best drugstore concealers that I've come across. I've tried many other concealers before I came across this. I've tried the NYX stick concealer, Covergirl liquid concealer, and Maybelline mineral concealer but this concealer works best for me.

It's the Maybelline dream mousse concealer. What I like about it is that it conceals my dark eye circles, matches my skin complexion perfectly, and still looks great even after a long day of school.

Here's a video review and tutorial of this concealer
