Wal-Mart Haul-issssh.



heller my mintylovelies! :D
haven't made an 'official,' post in awhile. 
i wish i still got comments. *sad face*
but whatevers!
let's all beeee happy. ^_^

ok!
so i went to Wal-Mart yesterday with mee mums and bro. i went to look for the Goody Spin Pins, but they were replaced by some other product. =.="
but anyways!

i haven't done a hair history post (rofl!) but i will do that sooner, NOT later. :D
but a small lesson is that it's as dry as the Sahara and not even close shiny OR soft. ):
i blame chemicals! grrr!!

so i've went through a lot of products for me hair, all drugstore brands tho (Bumble & Bumble has caught me eye).
i did some research and Herbal Essences caught my eye. i went to there website and was REALLY happy to see that they have like a little survey/test that asks about your hair and the products that best suit it. ^_^

and my results were:


Herbal Essences' Reconditioning Shampoo (left) and Conditioner (right) 
for dry/damaged hair.
both were $2.97. ^_^ 
i read reviews and they say a bottle costs about 8 bucks. whoa! O_O

i haven't used them yet, so no review... YET!


i also bought containers to sort things out. like clean my room and stuff... which i haven't gotten to yet... xD
but it was five bucks, GREEN!, 16 pieces, GREEN!, which is equal to 8 GREEN! sets. :D


so that's it!
nothing new, nothing crazy. (:
everyone having a good summer?
hope so!

<3 - mintylovee. (:

Mee Nails! So preetty. ^_^ review! hhehes.

alohaaa!

i forgot to go nails on you, after going review on you. 
buwhahwah. =_.='

my aunt brought me this OPI nail polish and i LOVES it!
it caught my eye when i first saw it.

the words i would describe it is tokyo, hime, pandas, fun.
it just made me smile for some reason...
weird huh?

but the name of the polish is, "PANDA-MONIUM PINK."
ironic huh?

but i loves it! it's hard to describe it, but the color just rocks! ROFL!
i'm getting flustered by polish. POLISH I TELL YOU!

but this is what it looks like. :D
pretty right? ^_^

always use a base coat and a top coat! but base coats are more important because they protect your nails, and usually don't cause your nails to turn yellow from darker shades of polish. ^_^

i bought this from Drugstore along with my haul. 
my family has been using this since i was like ten, and i love it!

it's 'Sally Hansen's Nail Protex Vitamin-Fortified Strengthener.'
i love this 2 in 1, because it's a top and base coat. ^_^

it restores thin, damaged nails.
it also, in my case, i guess, speed my nail growth.
my nails are stronger and and harder to break, if i bite them!
woot woot!

so it get's a 5 out of 5 stars. ( :
---------

that's it for today!
two posts in one day! MIRACLE!
lmfao. i guess i'm in a good mood, and plus, i'm getting fried rice!
yummy!

peace my mintylovelies. :D
<3 - mintylovee. ( :

preeetty flower infront of our house. :D name? 
i unno... find out for me? please. ^_^


demolition? woot woot! XD
<3

ps! checked out my friends fashion bloggie yet? you better!

:D 

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!
<3 - mintylovee. ( :

how's it been? loving my other weird bloggie? lol.

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!
first time going, and i'm pumped! haha.

we'll talk more later!! and i'll post an update about my teeth so far tomorrow! sorry for any waiters! lol.

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!
----
so yea...
pray that i don't fall off the stage or something. huhu.
<3-mintylovee!

it's suppose to say strikes! darn it!

Hey Loves. (:

Heys lovesss. ;]
Gahh! Where do I start? XD
Sorry for not updating. ):
Lots have been going on and I feel like jumping off a cliff to release everything. Or scream somewhere, where no one will complain. hehe.
Molly and JenJen are gone for a month or so for college searchings and all kinds of education stuff. They're going to leave me, a thirteen year old noob, for those university smart people. *sigh* It's hard keeping older people to yourself. ):
But anyways! I was also preparing for MAP testing. It's state testing in Missouri, since I live hurr.
Not the funnest place, but I haven't been to many places, so I can't say much. xD
I was born in Oklahoma City and moved to Kansas City when I was two. :)
My mom's very, well OVERprotective, so I don't go to many places. but it's all out of love...

So testing started today, and I fell asleep while reading the story. So I had to re-read it and it was PAINFUL! THE STORY WAS SOOOOOOOOOO BORING!
I wanted to cry! well, that's an exaggeration, but yea... xD

Also! Poretix won! If you watch ABDC, then you know what I'm talking about. ^_^

Do any of you have allergies? If not, then LUCKY YOU!
I've been slowly killed here with itchy red eyes, itchy throat, runny nose, and the list goes on.
They get worse every year. *sob sob*

OK... So I finally went to the mall after about two months of not going. I had collected my tips from work for a week, and decided to spend some of it on me. I always wear tank tops and a jacket over them to school. I'm more a tomboy so yea... Why not something new? hehe. >.<

So my budget was twenty-five bucks, and I was happy! It felt awesome walking into Oak Park Mall after such a long time. I felt so... free. xD

So I had gotten a striped dress with satin ribbons to tie a bow on the back. It also has pockets! Woohoo! (: I also got a black off the shoulder top which had a huge chiffon bow on the left side of the shirt's neck [[is there a name for it, if you understand me. xD]] Those two were from Wet Seal. ^_^ One of my favorite stores. :D
I also got a kit from Forever 21 that had containers for storage I guess? Like small containers, for liquidy stuff. xD I'm so terrible at describing and explaining. =.=;
Anyways! I bought them to put skincare stuff inside.When I go over places, I don't like to carry the big bottles because, 1-they're heavy and 2-Laneige is made of glass. Well, most of their products are. I was so happy when I found it! It also came with a nozzle and spatulas! Keke. I also bought a pair of headbands, black and 'creme,' that have a braided texture to them. =]

Why aren't I posting pictures of them? Well... I misplaced my USB to upload pictures, so yea... Sorry!

Plus... this update is suuuper long, because I just want to clear my mind. ^_^ Hope you enjoy my thoughts btw. XP

My friends were going crazy about Super Junior's Super Show2. They were like STALKING them, by searching for fanvids and pictures. I got pretty scared, so just walked out...
I like Super Junior lots. Yesung to be in particular. *blushes* he's such a cutie pie. xD
But I don't STALK them! Unlike *cough JenJen cough Molly cough*...

SO! I'm also writing a story. Well, it's just all over the place. The plot has been stuck in my mind for FOREVER [exaggeration] that I just had to get it out. Then I started to have more ideas. Yesterday, I was typing away, and didn't pay attention to time. So guess what time I finally noticed that I should go to sleep because of testing?
-
-
-
I noticed at TWO in the morning! What the freak? xD
I'm sooo oblivious to things. =.=

So anyways, I should go. ): Lots of homework! *sigh*
Hope this makes up for the whole week I was gone. ):
I'll update tomorrow, because I think venting will make me feel even better.
No need to read if you don't want. xD

Feedback? Comments? Loveeeee!
I also want to know what music you like?
Ah! BTW, I updated my music thingy. I'm such a K-pop person. My mom nags at me for being so obsessed with Korean stuff rather than Vietnamese. =.=

Well Bye!!
And remember that...
----
Well I forgot, but I'll tell you next time!! XD

also! stacy bought this with her own hard earn cash. she wasn't paid or bribed to endorse. :)
soooo.....................




Sasa Haul

1st Product:

Arezia's Exfoliating Gloves- 5/5
These gloves are awesome! I use them once a week for body exfoliation. xD
On Sasa, it also says to stimulate blood flow. keke.


Arezia's Facial or Body Sponge- 5/5
This sponge is about palm size so it does its job quicker. ^_^
Very soft and gentle to the skin.
Sasa's Animal Print Umbrella- 5/5
This is umbrella is so pretty. ^_^ It's very light weight and easy to carry around.
Very Portable! keke.
I'm not a fan of animal print, but it's very minimal on this umbrella and I couldn't resist.
Its logo is also very cute. "Making Life Beautiful" (:


Miou's 4 in 1 Beauty Appliance- 5/5
This is great for DIY home remedies [[head to Bubbi for awesome ones]].
There's three different types of measuring spoones, a flexible bowl [[it's hard to explain. xD]], a spatula and a brush. Woohoo!
Plus I got it in green! There's pink or green and it's given out randomly. Green rocks my world! xD


Somang's Keratin Hair Aqua Essence- 4/5
This prodcut is to help damage hair to become more shiny and smooth.
The smell at first is quite overwhelming, but it fades away as time goes on by.
It didn't work well for me, and my hair is fried, but for my friends, it worked perfectly well.
I don't understand why. *sigh*

Suzura's Deluxe Cotton Pads [[90 count]]- 5/5
I use these for toner in my skin care routine ^_^.
They're very soft to the skin and gentle also.

LANEIGE PRODCUTS!!
My main reason for purchasing from Sasa was because of Laneige. I heard of this brand from Bubbi, and I loveeee it. keke.
[[from shortest to tallest! I did this subconciously. Molly showed me it. xD]]

-Laneige's Strawberry Yogurt Pack- 4/5
This mask is used to brighten, smooth and add moisture to the skin.
It smells soo yummy, but it tends to cause my skin extra oily after using it.
I really don't know why.  But it does its job though!

-Laneige's Strawberry Yogurt Peeling Gel- 5/5
When I first held the bubble wrapped box of this product, the strawberry smell was so strong and yummy!
This is used as an exfoliant and it does its job.
You gently massage this product on your skin for one to two minutes, and you will see white thingies and those are your dead skin cells! Sounds icky but their removal makes your skin brighter and smoother. Sure did to mine! I use this and the mask once a week. ^_^

-Laneige's Multi Cleanser- 5/5
This product cleanses, remove make up and gently exfoliates, leaving your skin super spueaky clean!
The very first time I used it, I could tell the difference! So refreshing and the smell is too. Even though I don't wear make-up, I still use it because I guess I'm use to it. But i would like to try the Foaming Cleanser instead, because it would probably be more effective than one purposely made to remove make-up.

-Laneige's Pore Trouble Emulsion- 3/5
This product is a moisturizer and I really dislike this product.
It's very sticky on the face and it made my skin even more oily than before.
Laneige says it doesn't leave a sticky feeling, but boy are they wrong.
The stickiness does subside later on, but my skin is oiler, so now what?
The smell is very refreshing and when just first applied, it feels refreshing also, but then the stickiness occurs. My cheeks are softer, but my t-zone is so oily. -.-

-Laneige's Pore Trouble Refiner [[Toner]]- 5/5
This on the other hand, is NOT sticky. Thank you.
The toner/refiner is always refreshing to the skin when applied. The smell is also refreshing.
It absorbs easily, and when you use it on a cotton pad, you can see any extra icky stuff the cleanser didn't get.  ^_^


Sasa's Envelopes- 5/5
These weren't sold but were a free gift. ^_^
They are very cute in person, and came in ten in the pack.
I've used one for a friend's birthday gift, and seh screamed because it was pink and it has asian characteres on it. -.-
I couldn't respond, so laughing was the only way. xD

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

So that was Stacy's haul. Hope you enjoyed it! She's very truthful when it comes to products that other's may be buying. She doesn't lie about one thing! But remember, everyone is different, so some prodcuts may work for you and won't for others and vice versa.

We'll update possibly tomorrow or on Easter! keke.
We finally got our mojo for updating now because of our reader. :D

It's late and we're hungry, so byee!!

ps- Super Junior is our latest discovery.
--------Molly Lolly likes Sungmin, and he's "sooo cute yet sexy" quoted from her own reason and their song, "Super Girl"
--------I like Leeteuk, he's mighty fine, and their song "Sorry Sorry"
--------Stacy likes Yesung cause he is "might fine, and boy can he sing with that hot voice," AND Eunhyuk cause he "he's also mighty fine, dorky and boy can he dance," and their song, "It's You"

See. We're all different, but we have good reasons. keke.
What do you think?
Comment belowwww. <3333 you peeps.


   
And free M&M's! Stacy has dibs on the green one. xD
So typical...
