I is Back! :D with a Minty yet Lovely Package. ^_^

heller you!

i'm back.
i find that having these blogs really clear my mind. which is good! *thumbs up*
like Anazara said, patience. and i will. just go with the flow i guess. (:

but i is back! woot!
i'm getting all hyper, eventho i don't have many readers, or commenters. D:
but it's ok. (:
----

so anyways!
i got an early birthday gift! woot woot!
it's from my friend's momma. she's just like my auntie, so i call her Ahjumma (korean for auntie, since we love Korean schuff a lot. xD)
so i got this by mail before my real package came. x_O

bless you Ahjumma Nikki for getting my favorite Bath & Body Works Collection!

i LOVE White Citrus. so clean and fresh smelling. (:

hours later, my real package came. she talked about hair things, and i was happy!

i'm not an avid user of hair products, but i do use them when there are occasions and stuff. :D

my auntie, LOVES folica. has everything she needs and wants. xD

i opened the box and was practically screaming! ^_^ i displayed everything just to take a picture of it and reminisce. xD

i LOVE the straightener, even if i haven't used it yet. xD

i haven't used any of the products yet, so yea...

sorry Ahjumma, but i'll get to it.

(:

but kamsamhaminda Ahjumma! 

<3

------

my birthday is tomorrow. can you believe it? 

even i can't. i swear 13 went by super fast. 

but it's all for the best. i'm gonna be a freshman, and hopefully pwn my work. xD

also! i got a haircut!

exactly four months later. ^_^

i even made a post about it! : http://mintylovee.blogspot.com/2010/03/soweiiss.html

and boy and girls! i've had this blog for more than fours months. :O

so quick!

but here's my new haircut. (:

haven't told any of my friends because i wannans surprise them when we hangout on Saturday as my last birthday hangout. ;D

i look so darn innocent! and i am... i think... xD

my hair was cut by a different person, so i wasn't very happy.

i'm not really happy with what she did, but it's ok.

something new, right? :D

so my bangs were shorten, cut off about an inch, and my pointy part at the back wasn't kept pointy. ):

but my bangs look rockin' in the pic, but in real life, it looks crazy!

when i woke up this morning, my bangs were all over the place. NOT a pretty sight!

i also trimmed my hair. my head felt so light and my hair was so thin!

felt pretty nice. ^_^ but that's what my hair looks like when it's straighten.

when it isn't, it's a HUGE mess. =.="

----

but that's it!

feels good to be back. xD

any birthday wishes?

hhaha.

Happy July! woot woot! reviews! triple woot woot!

hello!!!
i have some reviews today. kekeke.
but how's it been?
and also! i finally have the comment button back. xD
i didn't know i was missing it until i was searching for it myself. so clumsy. =.='

so anyways!

today was an all 'treat stacy's face with masks and steaming' day!
heheh.

so i steamed my face for 20 minutes. ^_^ open up them pores! woot!
i use a big bowl and a towel! hid myself under the towel hovering my face over the warm bowl!
i put in two bags of green tea and a slice of lime (preferred lemon, but our house never eats lemons. >.>)

after that i went straight to 'St. Ives' Mineral Clay Firming Mask.'

after months of not masking and steaming my face,

i needed some "deep cleaning while visibly firming and tightening of the skin."

it contains kaolin clay, which is also known as 'white cosmetic clay;' is one of the most versatile clays,

and mildest of cosmetic clays. -from this clay website.

you apply this on your face, let it completely dry (around 10-15 minutes). then wash it off with warm water. use this when you need a deep clean and just some firming. :D

my rating is 4.5 stars out of 5.

i've only used it once but i can feel my skin kind of firmer and tighter.

i mean my face does feel refreshed and tighter after washing it off, but it isn't a 'WHAP-PAM' moment.

it didn't surprise me in anyway i guess. and deep cleaning didn't really happen.

because after i used it, my face still felt oily and blackheads are quite visible.

plus, the size isn't that awesome. xD

but overall i wouldn't buy this product again. sorry St. Ives!

after my clay maskin', i went off to strawburry land!

it's 'Laneige's Strawberry Yogurt Pack.'

i didn't really give it the rating it deserved so my new rating is,

5 out of 5 stars.

the mask really does brighten your face. 

it really does soften your face and just relax your face. it just feels awesome.

one of the pros of this mask is (in my opinion) is that you can leave the mask on for hours (well not like ten hours, but an hour i guess) and it won't harden and irritate you. it's just a nice layer of yummy-ness. :D

another good thing is that this thing will last months! 

i've used about ten times, and i'm not even an inch down from the top. ( :

reeeeaaly happy! hhehe.

just smear this yummy goodness which you CAN'T eat on your face (a little foes a long way. :P). don't forget to break down the red beads!

let it dry (which it really doesn't, but whenever you want to wash it off), and wash it off with warm water.

don't forget to apply toner/astringent and a light moisturizer since it's summer. 

talking about summer, wear SUNSCREEN!

for my body, i use 'Coppertone's Sport Ultra Sweatproof 50 SPF.'

it's waterproof,

has broad spectrum UVA/IVB protection,

and no slip-grip! ^_^

i give it a 5 out of 5 stars. 

the thing i like about this sunscreen is that, your skin feels uber soft after using it. weird but awesome!

you are SUPPOSE to use about the amount of two shot glasses for your body!

sounded crazy at first, but it's true. *shrugs*

for my face, i use 'Neutrogena's Age Shield Face SPF 55.'

this is waterproof, oil free, wide spectrum, won't clog spores,

and in my experience, make your skin softer! ^_^

the age field protection is to prevent wrinkles and crow's feet.

you're never to young to prevent them wrinkles.

i give it a 5 out of 5 stars.

forgot to mention, but this is a screw off top, while the other is a flipper!

for your face, you need to use a nickel amount.

which is enough to cover that face and neck!

just be careful and don't stab your eye or something. xD

---------

so that's it!

i think this is probably my longest post. maybe...

but i sure did type a lot! woot!

all the products i've used and reviewed on are all bought by me. 

some are awesome while others are ok, but not bye-me-again worthy.

till' next time!

so thursday and today have been my fail days. >.>
i have this awesome haul from drugstore.com, and i wanted to make a video about it!
so i did it on thursday at TEN at night! XD. i failed epically and decided to do it on friday, but didn't. i went to 'Macy's Big One Day Sale Preview Day,' and bought these pots and pans and tea kettle for my mom, since they were raelly cheap, and a good brand. (:
then we went to eat at this restaurant, 'North Bowl.' i LOVE their orange chicken! so yummy! hehe.
after that! we went to Sears! and i bought like four awesome shirts, and shorts. :D really awesome! too bad my camera doesn't have a cord right now. ): i'll show them one day! ha!

ok! so i did my video today. like an hour ago on my friends laptop. finished it after so many interruptions (rawr!), and was satisfied.
we tried to e-mail the vid-no hope. save it to a usb-no hope. we tried to upload it on YT-but my friend said no! he wanted to review it.
so. FAILURE! *sob sob sob!*

but oh wells! i'll just use the products, and do reviews. :D no more YT for me. *sigh* xD
gotta make this short because my aunt is picking my brother and i up to go to 'Oceans of Fun,' tomorrow! hehe!

 bonjourteresaa :D

ReviewS. :D

hellooo!!!
i haven't posted in awhile... less than a week though! hahaha.
so i've been occupied by reading for the past few days of summer break. ^_^

onto the main reason of posting!
i have TWO (yea! i said TWO! as in DOS! as in BANANANAS! x3) reviews for you lovelies. :D
so read on! ! !

oh! ps- bought these products with my own money! muwawawa.
----
 **the first product :

Neutrogena's Body Clear Body Scrub

my body skin (sounds funny xD) always broke out. I remember asking the doctors about it but only getting prescribed to a really smelly cream that failed. so i just forgot about it. i was never crazy about how my skin was until the beginning of this year. 

preeetty late right? 

but better late than never.

so anyways! i found this scrub while exploring the depths of Neutrogena and decided to give it a try. (:

and my review is 5 out of 5 stars. (:

the scrub has small microbeads that exfoliate the skin. the product also contains salicylic acid, am acne killer! muwawa.

i use this three times a week with a bath sponge and it works REALLY well!

you can feel a difference after the first use, and after two or three uses, you can definitely feel your skin becoming softer and less red from breakouts. (:

my arms and back have crazy acne so this solves the problem. :D

and DON'T forget to MOISTURIZE! 

i use Bath & Body Works White Citrus. ^_^ sooo yummy.

the results will show over time, so be persistent! hehe.

also! the size is pretty awesome. i got this for little over five bucks i think from Wal-Mart.

it'll last you for awhile, but then... it depends on how much you use and how frequently you use it.

but good luck!

-----------

**the second product :

Pantene's Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal Replenishing Mask

my hair is a true mess. a so called straightening perm in Vietnam (tell you the story later :D) ruined my hair BIG time. so after a year or two, i got another perm (sounds stupid right? but i'll tell you more about my hair history later!) in America. and boy did it make a difference! x3

after my second perm, my hair was way better! less frizziness and crazy messiness. 

but it was always dry and didn't have much shine to it.

so i came across this product when i was in Wal-Mart (AMAZING PLACE!), while exploring since i was bored.

i bought it and started to use it.

the mask should be on for at least 5 minutes, but i leave mine in for 10-15. :D

your hair will feel amazingly soft and smooth in the shower, but when it's fully dry, my hair is still a bit dry.

but i continued to use it.

yesterday was like my tenth use i bet, and i've been noticing huge changes in my hair.

my hair is softer, shinier, and even more easier to manage, which is a life-saver.

it just takes time  i guess, and i'm glad i took my time. (:

the smell is amazing and overall, my rating is:

5 out of 5 stars.

i was planning to give it like 3 since i didn't get any results,

but then just thought to give it a chance.

the container is quite hefty for about 5 bucks. 

i use the mask two-three times a week.

depends on my mood. xD

but it's really worth a buy. our hair needs a treatment once in awhile, and this one is cheap. (:

ps! wear a shower cap after applying this on! the heat will do even more justice!

-----------------

so those are my reviews. :D

i REALLY wanted to do these products justice because they did justice for me. ^_^

i hope you put some thought into buying these products. (:

but remember that products only aid your problems. your lifestyle has to be healthy and good, to live well. (i think that sounded REALLY weird...)

so, see you on the next post. :D

i think i'll be talking about my hair! xD

we'll see....

hehe.

<3- mintylovee. (:

guess what store i'm in? ^_^

<3

Wal-Mart Haul? xD

hehe. i is back!
with a haul...-ish. :3
i went to Wal-Mart on sunday, hoping to find the Goody Spin Pins!!!! but they didn't have any. broke my heart. ): *sigh*
so i bought other stuff that i dreaded to have (well... not really ^_^)
i was so hung up on the facial care items that i FORGOT to buy new earphones! =.=
my old ipod earphones are dying from being tossed, dropped, stepped on and so on... so much abuse.
but i'll buy one sooner or later!
my main motivation to going to Wal-Mart was to go buy facial care products, but when i told my mom she didn't want me to?...
she said that Laneige was clearing my skin up REALLY well! i had a few pimples here and there from being to lazy FORGETTING (cough cough) to use them and from the stress and junk food. hehe. and plus, i sweat like a banana since it's like 80 degrees everyday! xD
so onto the haul!!!!!RA
----

as you can see!
i have a knack for tea!! ^_^

- MILANO COOKIES!!!! mint-choco!!! RATING: 10328409 out of 5. hehe. i loveeee these cookies!
-Coppertone Sport Sunscreen SPF 50! i'm going to be out in the sun a lot from trying to get back in shape this summer since there isn't any summer school so yea... gotta protect that skin! but this is the water-proof one so it doesn't get in your eyes or run. i used it once and love it already! your skin feels freakin' SMOOTH after applying it on. hehe. it's about seven bucks i think or was it eight? xD RATING: 5 out of 5. (makes sense now... :3)
-Bigelow Plantation Mint- Black Tea w/ Mint! RATING: 5 out of 5! i love this tea! it soothes the body quite well and it just feels awesome afterwards! i also did some research on tea and this brand just for the heck of it and found out that you can do TONS with tea! but that'll be for another post. ;P
-Neutrogena Boody Clear Body Scrub! RATING: i'll get back to it... *cough cough* so yea... my body breaks out like a cookie! whiteheads and blackheads and stuff so i wanted to try this out. ^_^ i smell a review coming sooner or alter. xD
-Goody Black Elastics!: RATING: i'll also get back to that... *cough cough* i needed elastics and these were cheap! 250 pieces for 99 cents! hehe. i'll probably use them when i attempt to braid my short hair (which has grown quite a lot!) or just to put them into pigtails. ^_^
-Lipton Green Tea! RATING: 4.9 out 5! but i blame myself... i let it brew too long, so it came out really bitter. =.= otherwise yea... sorry Lipton! XD
-----
and that's it!! hehe.
my recognition is tomorrow! but no one is coming. *sigh* oh wells! i'll do something...
i'm singing with the choir for the beginning and ending of the ceremony. it's also an award ceremony so chaos here i come!
i wish i would be valedictorian but my friend, Cynthia, is SUPER smart! her family is SUPER smart, so she's lucky. ^_^
but i'm really happy for her! she's a sweetie pie and is a genius so it's all good.
ALSO! i'm going to eat at Ryan's and BOWLING! with my friends after school ends! so pic load... maybe!
