This past weekend (January 17-19, 2014) was IMATS held at their usual place in Pasadena, California. The last time I went to IMATS was in 2009. I had a great time, and I feel so lucky to be able to attend Pro Night this year. Before Pro Night, I attended Crown Brush first blogger event. I feel fortunate I was invited to the event! I attended the event with my blogger/real life friend, Beautzy. It's always good seeing her. :)

I feel so fortunate to have received Crown Brush HD (High Definition) travel set around when it first came out. It comes in three color sets; purple, orange, and white handles with blue tips. You can check out their HD Set With Mirror and Tweezer. I ended up receiving the orange one.

Crown Brush in S205 Pointed Blush

I got this brush during IMATS (click here to read the post on IMATS). I think it's time to review this brush since I've been using it for a month... hehe~ ;)

Product Review: Crown Brush in S205 Pointed Blush (Backstage Series)

Where can you purchase this: Crown Brush website
Price: $5.99 (I got it for $5)

My thoughts: My initial thoughts were how extremely soft is the brush, but at the same time, can I use it since it's pointed. :/ I still decided to get it since I needed a good blush brush. The brushes I had weren't picking up the blushes *sigh*. Thankfully, I'm happy I got it because it picks up the blushes and I don't have to layer the blushes on my cheeks... hehe~

Pros:
* Love the silver handles.
* The width of the handle is good for me.
* Soft.
* The hair isn't black (I don't like black hair brushes, because they're usually hard on me and smelly). :X
* No shedding during washing.
* No bleeding during washing.
* Picks up the blush with one scoop.
* Can be used for contouring since it's pointed.

Cons:
* Pointed.

Would I buy this again? Yes, but I hope the next time they make it it's not pointed... hehe~

Couple of you guys asked about the MAC Overrich lipstick (click here to see the post). I decided to compare it to my other coral lipstick by MAC in Ravishing.
Unfortunately, the flash washed out the colors *sigh*. The left one is in Ravishing and the right one is Overrich. Ravishing is more a light coral color, whereas, Overrich is more a pinkish-coral color. I know it's hard to tell from the pictures... hehe~ Sorry! Another difference between them is that Ravishing if from the cremesheen and Overrich is a glaze.
Here's a swatch on my hand. The left one is Ravishing and the right one is Overrich.
I'm also going to compare the Overrich lipstick to my natural lip color. This is my natural lip color. I know you cannot tell from this picture but I have natural, light pink lips.
Here's how Overrich looks on my lips. It's more towards pink strangely, but then again most lipsticks/lipglosses turn pink on me compared to most people... hehe~ :/ I didn't do a lipswatch of Ravishing since no one asked for it. If you want to see it, feel free to ask me! :)


Now for my hair accessories haul... eek~
I saw this at a store owned by a Korean. I just couldn't refuse since it's so pretty... hehe~ Anyone who knows me well knows I like bows, as well as, headbands... hehe~ :X
Everytime I visit the Korean market, I see this hair pin. I think it's adorable and I kept telling myself I don't need it. After the 10th time seeing this, I finally gave in and got it... lol~ :X


I'm going to end this post with my recent crochet project. My friend that I've known since elementary loves ladybugs. I even remember how much she was into ladybugs when we were in 3rd grade. She grew up and still loves ladybugs... hehe~
For her birthday, I made her a ladybug amigurumi doll. I got the pattern from Lion Brand Yarn (click here for the pattern). It's not as good as the picture on the website, but I still think it came out nice... hehe~ :)
I had to post a picture of the birthday card I got her. It's a picture of a ladyPUG... lol~ Get it! A picture of a ladybug and a pug dog combined. Isn't it cute!?!? :P

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile again! :X I have no excuse, but I blame it on my flu (I had a 100 degree fever)... hehe~ :P Anyways, this weekend (Sunday to be exact) I went to my very first IMATS experience. Can I say I had a great time, but I could had enjoyed it a lot more if my body wasn't weak from the flu!!! Even with the weakness, I had a blast... wheee~ :) I wish I took more pictures, but I was too tired. Here are some of the pictures I took; let me rephrase that it's the only ones I took... lol~ :X
