Happy Chinese/Vietnamese/Lunar New Year to all who celebrate it! I spent Sunday night eating, giving out and receiving money, and of course gambling with my family. Since my parents are here, I decided to give out red envelopes to the cousins who are younger than me. I just hope my parents are having fun celebrating the New Year over in Vietnam.

Anyways, I have a quick buy and review for a product. It’s the makeup sponge from Sonia Kashuk. I was originally going to buy the little pink Beauty Blenders eggs but they were no where to be found except for MakeupGeek.com and it was $19 for one or $23 for two. So I went to Target and grabbed a Sonia Kashuk one for $10. A blender sponge is mainly used for putting on foundation but I use it for blending my makeup after everything is on so that it won’t look so caky and to make my makeup look more natural. Also, the sponge is great for reducing makeup, like if you have too much blush on, you can just dab the sponge on and it will remove some blush. Anyways, I bought it and I decided that I don’t really use it often, but it is a great tool to have. I have to try putting on foundation with this sponge and see how that turns out.

On another note, I was going through some makeup tutorials on Youtube and found an amazing, simple makeup tutorial that I tried out today from Marlena of MakeupGeek. It’s so pretty and simple to do! I used my Naked Palette from Urban Decay with an E.L.F. cream eyeliner for the waterline and Loreal Voluminous Million lashes mascara.

I went to work today and I decorated my classroom for Valentine’s Day with my kids. I had them make hearts with their names on it and some tissue paper puff art. Some of the parents even gave me red envelopes which I am so thankful for!
