Fruits

I love fruits!  Except for papaya I've only just started to like it.  I never liked the smell of over ripped papaya and the taste just didn't suit me.  But lately, I've been liking it only when the papaya is super red and soft on the inside, it tastes the sweetest to me.

Ripped Papaya
Jack Fruit; I also love eating Jackfruit it's so sweet but sometimes sticky.

Tiny Mangos!
I found these tiny mangos in my parents' backyard isn't it cute! I didn't think they were ready being so small but after peeling one it was just as sweet as the big ones.

Frozen grapes; Love to eat frozen grapes during the summer especially during those hot days and it's super sweet.

Night Market 2016

Finally got to go to the night market this summer and I am glad we went to the last OC night market instead of the ones during the summer when it was super hot!  The weather was perfect it was sunny but cool with a nice breeze.  We didn’t get to try that many things because we got full quick but we still had fun.

The things we tried.

Takoyaki; It is good I love the original but have you guys tried the fried ones from sushi restaurants?! Bomb!

Cookie milk shot; they have other cookies and different kinds of milk to fill up the shot

Chicken Katsu sandwich, it was ok the chicken was good but I was not a fan of their curry.

Potato balls it was good can't go wrong with potato balls

Giant fried squid it was so good the batter tasted amazing with nice size pieces of squid

$20 for 3 light bulb drink.  Of course you are pretty much paying for the light bulb but still, that is a little bit ridicules especially when there isn't much drink in it. I’m sure he rounded up instead of the exact price unless they charged tax and or their price was $6.66. Not all places charge tax only certain vendors.

Boyfriend got this I was full and didn't want to try it wasn't feeling like having eel.

We also got meat sticks from a Korean vendor which I forgot to take a picture of.  But honestly it wasn't that great the beef was cut into huge chunks which made it hard to bite off the stick and chew.  Way too tough.  The pork was all fatty I did not enjoy it.  The last night market is this past memorial weekend in the 626 area.  I haven't been to the original 626 night market yet but would love to try and go next summer.  It's a fun experience trying different foods although it can get a little expensive.

Lipstick

I just bought some lip product to try.  My cousin told me about this and she says it works well, so I thought I would give it a shot.  The brand name is Oops My Lip Tint by Berrisom, it comes individually or you can buy a set that comes in 6 different colors; Bubble Pink, Pure Pink, Vivid Scarlet, Sexy Red, Lovely Peach, and Virgin Red for $22 on the website right now https://us.memebox.com/

But I got it on amazon for like 2-4 dollars cheaper.  There are a couple other lip tint colors that are not included in the pack

I also got a Lip tint cleanser to help take off the lip tint. I’m sure there are other cleansers that can take off lip tints but since I was already trying out this brand why not.  The other 2 things I got I couldn’t help myself it just looked so pretty I had to try out the colors.  I got I’m Lip Crayon in matte by I’m Meme.  The color on the left is Natasha #CY255 and the color on the right is Vanessa #CY256.

So far I have tried the color Vanessa and I like how the color looks it’s very pretty.  But there are problems:
  1. Does not last long
  2. No matter how much I put on chapstick before applying the lip crayon my lips end up dry
  3. My lips were chap and crack the next day I could peel the skin off.
  4. Transfer
If you have dry lips like I do, you might want to exfoliate the day before and apply chapstick to help give you nice soft lips for a smooth look. 

I tried Oops My Lip Tint over the weekend and notice that if you are going to be wiping your mouth a lot the tint will come off easily and leave one funky outline and random spots of color.  Definitely need to exfoliate before this product as well.

Don’t be shocked by how dark the color looks coming out of the tube, it is lighter after the peel comes off.  One problem I had with the tubes is that sometimes there would be random air bubbles stuck in it pushing out way more product than I need.  I would have to keep trying to tap the air bubble out.

I’ve heard a lot about these lip tints tasting awful, but I’ve been lucky so far not getting any in my mouth.  I tried bubble pink first and WOW it smells so bad! It smells like Elmer's liquid glue but stronger.  Second worst smell is pure pink, smells almost like bubble pink but not as strong. The other colors had more of a floral perfume sweet smell with lovely peaches being a little bit citrusy.

The result is; I do like the colors of these lip shades I would not buy these again just because it does transfer and is not long lasting.  Although the lip tint will last quite a while as long as you’re not wiping your lips a lot.

the colors are in the same order as it comes in the box
Left to Right
I tried using the lip tint cleanser to see if I could take off any of the colors.  I tried twice to wash it off, the top left and right pictures are the first attempts and the bottom left and the right pictures are the second attempt. I stopped after two times because my arm was starting to hurt where the little rough beads in the gel were scratching. 3 out of 6 colors came off using the cleanser.

Before; Virgin Red

After; my favorite color so far
