April Sephora Haul

Hello lovely readers! Thank you for stopping by :) Today I have a post on this month's Sephora haul. If you don't know, 2 weeks ago I turned 22 on April 6th :) Of course, if you are a Beauty Insider or a Very Important Beauty Insider/VIB Rouge... Sephora gives you a birthday present! I received this little box from Make Up For Ever that has their famous Smoky Extravagant Mascara and a Rouge Artist Natural lipstick. Along with that, I also decided to spend my BI points on Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in the colour "Sophia". I have always been curious to try Buxom's lip glosses (especially Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in "White Russian" - I'm eyeing you. I want to get you soon!)

So far, I'm loving the lip polish. It's a beautiful, everyday pink lip gloss. I have yet to try the lipstick and mascara from MUFE but if anyone is interested in a review, let me know! 

As a birthday treat (pun intended ;)) to me from me, after hearing SO many sweet (see what I did there? haha okay, I'll stop) reviews, I decided to buy the Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette.

I've been contemplating getting this palette because I've owned so many other eye shadow palettes already (including 3 palettes from Too Faced itself), and I was afraid I'd have similar shades andddd I didn't really NEED another eye shadow palette. However, after careful consideration and having been visiting the Sephora store and checking the palette out 5.different.times ... I decided that I must have really wanted it so as you can guess, I bit the bullet and bought it on the 6th visit to Sephora (LOL). Although some of the colors on this palette are quite close to some eye shadows in other palette, there are many beautiful colors that I've never owned (like Candied Violet, Strawberry Bon Bon, .. the pinks and the purples. Can't say the same for the browns, champagne, and gold though! lol). I loveee how versatile this palette it. I can create any look I want: a smokey eye for a dramatic night (or day) look, soft and sweet for a natural look, the basic "no makeup" makeup look, and so many more. And the best part? It smells just.like.real.chocolate. Need I say more? Go to Sephora and give it a whiff! You won't look crazy I promise :)

If you want a swatch of this beautiful palette, feel free to let me know and I'll definitely take your request :) Thank you so much for reading! Until next time,

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22 ...

Hi beauties!

It's April 6, 2014 - which means it's my 22nd birthday today!

All I want for my birthday .. is a ....... just kidding, my boyfriend bought me this hat as a joke on HIS birthday LOL so this hat has been identified as an official 'birthday hat' so guess who'll be wearing this hat today ....... that's right. HIS turn. hahaha! payback is something, isn't it ;)

I just want to write this post to say thank you to everyone who has made me who I am at 22 today. Everyone I've met and haven't met have impact me in a way that made me who I am today. I am so excited for what this year has to bring me in my life! I can't wait to experience all the amazing things 22 has to offer!

Thank you for stopping by and taking time to read my blog. I've been so busy wrapping up school work for this year and I promise once I'm free (in just over 10 days) I'll be blogging more frequently! If you've been here before, thank you for coming back to visit me :) If you haven't, welcome to my blog! My name is Film and I am a 22 (today!) years old girl from Thailand who's been in Canada since 2008. Welcome to my space - where I share wonderful things I find and a glimpse into my life :)

Anyway, it is currently 1.09 AM and I've already been flooded with 'happy birthday' wishes from people back home (Thailand's clock is faster so it's already midday there). I am so overwhelmed with happiness but I don't really feel like it's my birthday yet because I feel like it's still Saturday night - even though it's early, early, early Sunday morning. LOL. Okay, I'm going to bed so I can wake up and thennnn, I'll finally fully, truly experience my birthday! Thank you once again :)

Until next time,

2013 in pictures ...

I'd like to share some random and some of my favourite photos each month of the year, 2013! Enjoy :) x

JANUARY

HAPPY NEW YEARS 2013! I screenshot this right when the clock strikes 12 on Jan 1!

 The night before my winter semester in uni starts, I slipped and fell and scraped my shin pretty bad I needed to go to the ER and got 4 stitches. Yup, this is my first time I've ever had stitches mind you, I was not impressed.

FEBRUARY 

 Valentine's Day 2013 :) My first Edible Arrangement. I wasn't disappointed! :)

The MAC Marilyn Monroe collection also came out. The only thing I bought was this lipstick that I am still obsessed with until today!

MARCH

We went on a construction site to see our new place we were moving into. I wanted to keep that hot pink helmet haha who knew construction can be trés chic?

I dyed my hair the darkest shade of brown this month. I naturally have really really dark hair (almost black) so this was almost as close to my natural hair colour as it can be. I don't normally dyed it this dark, but for some reason this month I decided I missed my dark hair.

APRIL

My birthday present from my friend, Jessica! She works at MAC now as a makeup artist and we both have a huge passion for makeup! :)

At the end of April-beginning of May, we were given the clearance to move into our new place! We finally got the keys to our apartment after a year of waiting. We were so happy!

MAY

This is our view from the roof of our new place! Breathtaking <3

And I celebrate the first night of moving in by taking a much needed and long awaited bubble bath

JUNE

It's officially summertime and I love that we have a balcony that I can tan on. Charlie likes to tan as well haha

We went out to a restaurant on the harbour one night. It was absolutely beautiful and the weather was amazing. I snapped this beautiful sunset and city/skyline with my phone of the city.

JULY

Me rocking my red and white on Canada Day (July 1)

And we went to a beach once that month. We don't go that often because it's always too crowded as you can see from the background haha

AUGUST

Poor little Charlie got sick so he had to wear the cone of shame for almost a month!

We took an end-of-summer vacation to PEI (my first time there!). This was taken on their famous red sand beach. I want to take my whole family to PEI when they come to Canada for my graduation. It is such an amazing vacation place and I loved it!

SEPTEMBER

I went lighter again with my hair and this is my 'Brat' beanie appreciation pic. I'm obsessed.

This month, I also interned for the Special Events team for the Atlantic Film Festival. I had to make flower arrangements and table and entrance decor. This masterpiece you see is the entrance to the Opening Night Gala. This is my biggest flower arrangement, my decor, my idea. I received so much praise and compliments and I was really, really proud :)

OCTOBER

Next to Christmas, Halloween is one of my favourite holiday ever! This year Mike dressed up as a Muskateer (he took pride in growing his moustache since the summer), Charlie is a little dinosaur or dragon (we couldn't decide), and I was a flight attendant :) (We always say we were going to dress up matching as a couple but we never ever do!)

Charlie the dinosaur/dragon

NOVEMBER

I dyed my hair bright red (the reddest I've ever been) and I loveeeee it!

We started decorating our place for christmas. This is our bedroom. I am obsessed with fairy lights. And I also had a baby white and pink christmas tree on my night stand :)

DECEMBER

This is my favourite pic of Charlie and I. We had a mini photo shoot one day and I was able to capture many silly faces Charlie always make. I friggin' love him!

Our little family on christmas morning. This pic sums up the whole year. It has all of us, my little family, and our silliness.

Thank you so much for taking time and journey back through this year with me! Until next time :) from Film with love, xx
