so i’ve been spending some time in seattle… not only i re-visited Fremont and Pike Place Market, but also went to University of Washington for the first time.
as much as Pike Place Market is a touristy spot, it is always a vibrant and wonderful place to visit!

Hello my sweets! i’m super excited to show you these pretty Lioele cosmetics sent to me by Lilies Shop(thank you guys!). this is actually my first time trying Korean cosmetics… and I’m totally in love with the packaging, very girly and romantic. the quality of the products also met, if not exceeded my expectations!
it is a lipstick but in the center there’s lip balm (how cool is that?)… basically the pigmentation of a lipstick without the dryness! i’m not usually a big lipstick person but i definitely wouldn’t mind using this on a daily basis since it’s really as moisturizing as lip balm =)
this product is quickly becoming a HG item! it was suppose to be a makeup base, but i also like to wear it as a highlight on the higher plane of my cheeks and center of my nose. it reminds me a lot of my Stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer, only that it is lightweight enough to be used by itself, and doesn’t need to be mixed in with a moisturizer or foundation. i was actually wearing it all over face in my April Sun post… with the harsh light you might not be able to see a big difference, but it did give my skin a very pretty glow! will definitely purchase another bottle when i’m through with this one.
last but not least… how pretty is this Lioele Princess Mirror?
All in all, I’m very much impressed. Lioele can make a girl feel pretty damn cute lol… I honestly can’t wait to try more of their other products. If you want to see more of Lioele cosmetics and skincare products, check out Lilies Shop‘s website! They also carry a lot of cute accessories, circle lens, and fashion wigs =)

I hope you all find my Thrfit Store Shopping Tips useful, today we step back to look at some reasons to shop at thrift stores. Of course most of these reasons apply to flea markets, garage sales, and vintage boutique shopping as well.
1. it’s environmentally friendly
i hate to repeat myself all the time, but yes shopping at thrift stores means you are purchasing an existing item, therefore decreasing the demand and production of new items being made, which in term helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time you are giving new life to an old item that would otherwise become garbage.
2. variety
not only thrift stores offer a broad range of products, you can often find rare items you can’t get anywhere else! vintage jewelry, discontinued products, and brands unavailable in your city are just some of the things you CAN find at your local thrift stores.
3. it’s cheap
obviously… duh!
4. not everything is second-hand
merchants often donate new goods to thrift stores, to clear out warehouse space and to claim a tax write-off. also, people often buy things on impulse and never end up wearing or using them (GUILTY!), you’d be surprised how often you find items with store tags still attached at thrift stores. and of course all used clothing at thrift stores is pre-cleaned due to health regulations.
5. supporting non-profit organizations
Thrift stores re-sell donated goods, usually to benefit a charity or non-profit organizations.
6. it’s a modern treasure hunt
if you happen to like treasure hunting like i do, thrift store can be an awesome place to be. yes you might need to go through hundreds of items before you find that one-of-a-kind, fated-to-be yours item, but when you do… it’s all worth it!
of course I’m not telling all of you lovelies to stop buy things brand new… I obviously don’t. but I feel that we can all learn to enjoy thrift store shopping. so next time before you purchase something brand new, consider the option of getting that item second-hand. this way we can all do our part for the environment and save money at the same time. also keep in mind that if you have items you no longer use or wear, donate them instead of just throwing them away!
