Photolog 2018: Day 293 of 365

Late night Malay laksa noodle soup at Deer Garden with Maegan. One of the least photogenic noodle soups, but one of the most delicious.

MAC released their holiday collection yesterday. I've been on a makeup ban this year (I broke it very briefly on my NYC trip last month but have otherwise been very good about it), but MAC usually has a few items from their holiday colour collection that I end up loving and I just couldn't resist this year's glittery, holographic finishes. My picks? The Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Snowflushed (reminiscent of last year's Stylishly Merry eyeshadow, except in highlighter form — I HAD TO), and the Shiny Pretty Eyeshadows in Make a Wish, P for Pink, and Major Win. Gorgeous pigmentation, stunning finishes, ultra-smooth, adheres beautifully.

Tonight's late-night treat of choice: Mango crêpes with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream at Sugar Marmalade.

Well, guess who just solidified their birthday plans?

BTS V LIVE [Jungkook]: JK🐰

It's crazy to see how much Kookie has matured over this past year. Our precious baby bunny is really growing up. (Also, I am waiting with bated breath for his mixtape. Knowing his perfectionism and passion for his music, it is going to be phenomenal.)

I was in the office just finishing up some scheduling on the computer when I got a V Live notification on my phone for a livestream with Jungkook. (If one of them does a V Live, the other one is not far behind.) I caught the latter half of it and am still waiting for subtitles, but I'm glad to see Kookie generally feeling better and looking happy (and as adorable as ever).

Nothing like a piping hot bowl of my favourite gamja-tang with rice cakes on a chilly fall night.

Makeup and Beauty Blog: Monday Poll, Vol. 546

This week's Monday Poll:

1. A makeup brush you use every day? For face, my Hakuhodo B527BkSL, which I use for buffing on my MAC Studio Fix Powder. For eyes, MAC's 217, of which I own 18. It's my ride-or-die.
   
   
2. If you could have any gallon-sized bottle of any bath/shower product for free (like a shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or whatever you can think of), what would choose? My Function of Beauty shampoo, which I love. It has made my hair noticeably softer and smoother. Also, it has an amazing colour and smells great.
   
   
3. Are you allergic to anything? Penicillin, nickel, NA38 fragrance mix, and Bronopol.
   
   
4. Best/worst Halloween candy? Best: Coffee Crisp. Worst: Black liquorice and/or candy corn.
   
   
5. Something you miss from "the good old days"? Social etiquette. 

Burn the Stage: The Movie

BigHit announced the release of the first official BTS movie. And it's going to be released on my birthday. And Cineplex confirmed that it's gonna be playing in Canada. So guess who's gonna be watching it at least six times in theatres and have the most lit 32nd birthday, ever?

It's been a minute since I've had sushi and I was craving it hard today, so I had to interrupt noodle soup season with this beautiful platter tonight.

BTS V LIVE [Jimin]: ma birthday!😗

Reason #893 for loving Park Jimin (and why he has become my ultimate bias). I love that no matter what he's doing or where he is in the world, Jimin does a V Live every year on his birthday just to thank us for sending him birthday wishes and have a chat to connect with us. He might be the sweetest, softest, cutest, and dorkiest angel I have ever seen. He's remained as kind-hearted and humble as ever, too, acknowledging that they started with nothing and are immensely grateful for their fans and their growth and the incredible opportunities they've been given (like speaking at the UN last month). I really hope they all stay happy and healthy for the rest of this tour. Happy 24th birthday to our Chim Chim!
