Last week on Instagram…

This is my dog…she is the second one I have had. Her mother passed away almost a year ago. She is about 13 years old…but she acts like a puppy even still. Love her to bits :)

Spent a day with mom…accidentally. We had planned to hang out for a few hours…but it ended up being 9. I wanted to get a few things for her, as she had been saying she needed a few new pieces for the season, so we headed to Vaughnmills. Scored some good deals, despite the fact I could not convince my mother to buy a lovely calf leather Burberry bag. She wanted black, not a chocolate brown -__-
Anyway this was taken at the Mississauga Garden Centre (actually I can’t remember the actual name…) She wanted zucchini plants, but couldn’t find the one she wanted.

I met with a few friends that I have known since highschool. So basically a little over a decade now. Time flies, but when we chat, it really doesn’t feel all that long ago. This was the Wild Wings location at Finch and Yonge…and have to say that the service was a tad poor that day. However I LOVED the Dirty Nelly wings that I ordered xD

Checked out Ogeul Bogeul afterwards, but again the service was quite horrible. Though this is a favourite place of a few of my friends, I have to say that every time I go, the food is bland, oily, and just overall unfortunate. I’ll write more about it later. Luckily the good company made up for the unfortunate food.

Other than that, there really wasn’t much to report back on. I had sucked my data dry, so I haven’t been able to upload -___- I need to be more careful during the month! Sheesh lol

Hope you all have a lovely long weekend!

Innisfree Vivid Tint Rouge

*Products in this post were bought with my own funds, and brought to Canada by my friend HJ who graciously agreed to be my MU mule :P*

Innisfree Vivid Tint Rouge

I have wanted these babies since February when I saw them pop up on the Korean Forum I frequently (Cosmania at Naver). I wrote about them HERE, and mentioned my Korean Goodies haul HERE

I picked two of the Tint’s, and a Creamy Lipstick.

The applicator is typical for a lot of the lip products in Korea. I prefer these as they are rounded at the tip and can aid me in lining my lips a bit better. Not perfect at it, as you can see in lip swatch, but at least I do find that it helps.

The stain that remains after a few minutes on the arm.

Smell:
I can’t pinpoint it, but it is a familiar scent. Artificial, maybe scented plastics? Kind of reminds me of Essence Stay with Me Gloss but not actually like it. (It smells like one of my scented pens!! No wonder it was familiar lol I use it quite frequently…)

Feel:
Super smooth, definitely a different texture than the Loreal ones as Macnunu mentioned. I personally find the Loreal ones sticky which really does annoy me at times (but I still like them despite that flaw), so in comparison these were not sticky at all.

Taste:
I think it is because of the fragrance, but it really doesn’t taste all that well. Its quite bitter :T If you are a lip licker, then this will discourage you for sure!

Both 4 and 10 are easily removable (a little bit of a stain remained after I used Marcelle’s Cleansing Water). I mean unlike the 01 that MACnunu mentioned refused to budge. I found that 10 lastly for a few hours (I felt I needed to touch it up after 4 hours), but I found that 04 lasted relatively longer.

Oh my lips, 04 (orange), tends to look a little more of a deeper orange. It looks red-ish in the picture, but IRL it does look more orange than it seems.

They are 10,000won in Korea, which is very roughly $10Can.

I really like 10, as it is not too wild. I used it 4 out of the 7 days last week, and wore 04 for the rest of the days xD

If you get a chance to check them out, might be something interesting to look in to, unless you lick your lips…in which case the bitter taste might turn you off.

Chatting over drinks at Junko/Sushi Hana…

*I was not paid for the post, or its mention. I am merely mentioning it as it is something I enjoy doing, and wanted to share a Korea bar in Toronto*

Hey everyone~

Because it is the long weekend, I did want to share another place I like going for drinks and chatter with some friends.

591 Yonge St Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z4
(416) 925-3560
Yelp reviews is for Sushi Hana food, but I’ll be talking about their alterego Junko instead

Basically, this place is Sushi Hana during the day, catering to sushi and other various foods. During the evening, the place is more known for its lounge-y fun, namely a Soju bar called Junko.

I mentioned Chilsung HERE, but Junko is the one we go to when we are in the area. I have gone a number of times, and have even had my birthday here once as well.

The place is relatively large, not as large as Ehwa, but seats a decent amount of people. There are two seaters, 4 seaters, and then they can arrange an area in the back for larger groups as well. Probably could seat about 14 comfortably.

It isn’t too loud inside, unless people play their drinking games. Generally I found it decent enough that my 3 friends and I can chat without without having to yell.

Service is alright. Generally speaking it isn’t as bad as some, but not awesome. I guess it would be average for bar service really. No major complaints.

Besides, I don’t go here for the service…I go here for the Anju! This is number two on my Korean bars in terms of Anju. They have a decent variety, and is satisfying. They do vary a bit, as there are times they offer cheese corn, and other times they don’t (which one of my friends is addicted to xD), but they are always yummy to snack on while drinking.

These are anju’s from two separate visits. I had a few more but they were bad pictures that I took.

Once in awhile they will also have Service Anju, which is just premium anju that is free. So we have had sliced fried chicken, and soups before.

I would suggest the Kimchi Pajun here, as it is crispy, not too salty, and rather large for the price you pay with the combo.

I would also sugges their Dukbooki, and their spicy chicken (I think that was what it was called).

In addition to the food, I like going here because of the fact that the washroom is not located in the basement! A huge deal when a lot of places usually make you go down some stairs. Depending on the nights it can get a little disgusting towards the later evening, but usually well kept.

If you are in the area, and looking for a place to check out for drinkins, checking out Junko for their Combo menu~ it shouldn’t disappoint.

Goodies from Korea~

I just wanted to share what were essential items to get from Korea for my haul.

The non-beauty items…

I love the Daiso Gift Baggies. I use them for all gifts that I give. I find that they are more expensive here. The blue and pink one is only ~$1CAN for 24, and the clear white one is ~$1CAN for 40. Steal!

I also needed new pens. I usually use 0.34 pens, and these ones are actually 0.3, just a tad thicker than what I usually use. Really don’t notice it. I can’t remember how much these guys were.

These are the beauty things I got my friend to pick up for me…

Innisfree Creamy Tint Lipstick ~10,000won
Innisfree Vivd Tint Rouge x2 ~10,000won
Etude House Soft Touch Auto Lipliner 1,000won
Skinfood Eyebrow Brush x3 2,500won
Skinfood Eyeliner Brush 3,000w

With those goodies, came samples of course…

Will look in to using them, and see. I’m excited to see how the Green Tea Cleansing Oil will work (I’m a cleansing oil nut).

Anyway, I will be posting pictures of the tints this upcoming week (I Hope! :D)
