A Love List Featuring Baron Chen, Natasha Denona, and Being a Lab Rat
Hello, friends! It’s been a while. I miss you all! We’re still traveling and I’m loving it but I miss my very, very early mornings spent plotting and planning the posts I do for the blog and of course, I miss talking to all of you! I just told my boyfriend earlier today I find such comfort in blogging! It’s my safe space where I can come to get away from the chaos of the world. I sure do hope you’re doing ok over there! Feel free to tell me what’s going on with your life lately! I’m all ears!
We haven’t done a love list in a while shall we do one today?
I refuse the buy makeup in Europe. It’s just way too pricy (I wish I can say the same for perfume! That I can’t resist purchasing while I’m here!). However, being abroad doesn’t mean I can’t buy makeup and have it sitting for me when I do get home. I had some Ulta points to splurge so I dropped them on the new Natasha Denona Bloom Eyeshadow Palette. Never in my life did I not need such a palette. I seriously feel like I can dupe all these shades! It’s giving Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette circa 2016 but I’m here for it. You know why? Because it’s inspired by the Bloom Face Glow Palette which is my ride or die. I ADORE that palette. It’s the golden peach palette of my dreams! And the shades in this new Bloom Eyeshadow Palette are inspired by it. Yes, please. I’ll take it! A few folks on Reddit showed the palette in natural like and I must say it’s stunning! Truly a gorgeous selection of beautiful shimmering golds and peaches. Did anyone fall in love with it? I can’t be alone!
My love list today also goes out to Experiment Beauty! Thank you for believing in me enough to trust me with your latest launch. I’m currently a full-time Lab Rat for Experiment Beauty as I’m testing out their newest product. You know how much I LOVE Super Satty and Buffer Jelly Barrier Boosting Oil-Gel. Sadly, I can’t share what it is I’m testing but I promise it’s awesome! My skin is loving it. This is Experiment Beauty’s 5th launch and it’s going to be a very, very good companion piece to their two big skincare stars. I’ll tell you more soon…! You can sign up now to be alerted when it comes out!
And finally last but not least can we just give some love to Baron Chen? It’s been a while you beautiful boy. I started re-watching Bromance on the many plane trips I’ve been on the past few weeks (I always sort of struggle sleeping on a plane so I end up binging Chinese or Korean Dramas) and I forgot how much I loved it the first time I watched it. Some of the scenes are over the top absurd like when the main character jumps between buildings to save his co-star whom he’s only known for like a week. There’s a bunch of blubbering and crying and they both carry on like they’ve known each other for years but it’s an oddly sweet moment (if not entirely overly dramatic). And there are a ton more where that came from. This is a gender bender series so the hero doesn’t realize he’s falling in love with a girl as he believes she’s a boy. There is SO much skinship in this drama it just makes you go “AWWWWWWWWWWWW!” with every scene. The hand holding, the touching noses, the head butts, ugh…! It’s just so much cute! I can’t stand it. If you’re a Bii fan girl he’s in this series as well and has his own little secondary love story. It’s not as good as the main characters but Bii is always swoon anyway you can get him to double your pleasure there! Added bonus he does some of the soundtrack!
I miss Baron. He sort of fell off my drama radar after Bromance. It was his big hooray and after that nothing of interest. He was in Fated to Love you but he was a secondary character and that pre-dates Bromance. I think he’s currently in a historical drama but I haven’t watched it. He deserves a spot on my love list today for keeping me entertained on long flights! Thank you, good Sir!
What’s on your love list lately?
