Blushing Baby

Since I have completely given up on eyeshadow (I never say no to clearance basket item though) let's shift my attention to something else! Blusher seems to be a nice choice since my skin doesn't look as buttock-like now it has warmed up a bit.
Addiction by Ayako (Although you guys all hate the blond model...) is one of the newer Japanese brand that I am interested in, Ayako (the Nars artist) is more daring compare to other Japanese line when it comes to color yet I could still find the colors wearable.

Anyway, I do like the simple and clean-cut, glossy black packaging, it looks minimalist but not cheap.My favorite one is Revenge (looks like a powder version of Nars Cactus Flower), what about you?

Just for your information, I am so not going to pay 30 dollars+ tax+mark up+shipping for this... (By the way, the blushes are currently around 40 bucks in Ichibankao.)

Another blush I have been liking is the blush from Xie Fu Chun, a traditional Chinese brand that dates back to the 1800s. The brand is most famous for their fragrance pouch with embroidery (it's like Chinese version of solid perfume) and loose powder scented as roses, jasmine, sweet olive and gardenia. Anyway, I personally am liking the powder blush (because I have a tendency to tip over loose powder and spill them everywhere) with a cute case made of china.

There is only one shade of blush (as the ingredients are of natural origin, they didn't have chemical in China back in 1800s.) which is a blue pink with a slight shimmer from mica. I guess a sheer blue pink blush can be universally flattering as it naturally goes well with neutral to cool skin tone and can bounce off the yellow on girls with more warmth on their skin. Oh, did I mention that these blushes are 40 RMB at retail...which is like 5 dollars?

While those two colors are quite pretty, my favorite blush color would be peach. Since that's how my baby blush looked like when I was a kid. There has been a baby picture tag going on and I just went ahead and tagged myself. (I was a pretty sarcastic kid and I always find it extremely difficult to smile for camera...hence the expression) At least now you know where I got my teeth from (sorry to blow your bubble, it's genetic)...A sweet and harmless one, can you imagine that I was a bully back in kindergarten? No, I didn't hit them with my piano-nerd-fist (as I am pretty much a wimp all my life) I just scared them with speech and my attitude...

Anyway, a while ago I was on that Chinese social network website and saw my ex-classmate, I sent her a message: "Hey, do you remember me? I bullied you when we were in XX kindergarten?"

"I sure do." She replied (and accepted my friend request.)
Bonus pictures of the guy (ahem, boy. Picture cropped to protect the unrelated) I liked back in elementary school, who is also the person who took all of my cool Japanese gel-pens, Sailor Moon stickers and Disney world craps...Is it funny that the ex-bully now get bullied by a kid who is even tinier (and more adorable, although I don't want to admit it) than her? Is it karma or am I just a prisoner of love ?(Click for HD music video)

I so miss my Sailor Moon stickers...

P.S. Speaking of blushes, have you guys seen the MAC meets Chantecaile collection (I named it myself)over Bjooti ? I wonder how much does that sea horse compact cost, if it's below 30 bucks, I am totally buying it...

P.P.S. Wow I didn 't know those Liberty of London lipstick can look so plastic-y and...cheap. (I will still check it out though, in case there is a shade I like)
