This page is about what I am currently enjoying, including beauty products, clothes, shoes, and the fun moments.
Beauty
I’ve been eyeing on the Pat McGrath’s Mothership VIII: Divine Rose II eyeshadow palette for a while. I really like the eyeshadow palette’s metallic Champagne and Magenta colors, but I didn’t know when I will have the chance to use it. I finally bought the Divine Rose II eyeshadow palette and I love it.
(My new Pat McGrath’ eyeshadow palette to play with.)

I like to wear sequin dresses when I dine at my favorite fine dining restaurants. Here is a picture of me waring an off-shoulder black sequin dresses, pairing with a long chandelier earrings.

I love to get my nails done, especially in red color with decorations. Here is my most recent red nails with glitters background and red sequins.

Getting ready for dinner at the Harvest restaurant in the Bellagio hotel, Las Vegas. I think this Pat McGrath’s Opulust glitter gloss in Venomistress matches well with my Self-portrait sequined minidress in black and green pattern for evening.
Food
My latest habit while I am staying home is cooking and baking. I finally know how to make dumplings from scratch. The task involve making the filling with meat and vegetables, kneading the dough, and rolling the dumpling skin, then wrapping the filing in the dumpling skin. Below is my final product, before I boiling them.
Travel
During my recent trip to the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas I stayed in their Fountain View room. I had the chance to catch the amazing view of the early morning on the Strip.

On my birthday I attended my dear friends’ wedding and had a blast. Congratulations to both Frances and Jeffery!
I had the honor to go wedding gown shopping with the beautiful bride. And I am wearing the new pink dress I bought purposely for her wonderful wedding ceremony and reception.
Travel
During my recent early flight to Las Vegas, I took this beautiful picture of the dawn. I think it’s fascinating and amazing. This view, seeing in-person, makes getting up at 3:00am worth every moment.
Beauty
I love glittery eye shadow. Nothing beats colorful glittery elements when it comes to New Year’s Eve celebrations. The below Dior’s Holiday 2020 eye shadow has all my favorite eye shadow colors with glitters in one palette.
Fashion
I love sequin dresses, especially during the holiday season. I wore my new pink sequin dress to Las Vegas during my last holiday trip.
Fashion
This Self-portrait sequins dress is my latest favorite. The flower patters on this dress has multi-color, including pink, purple, green, and gold. The style of this dress makes me look slim and fitted.
Fashion
Blue suede pumps are eye-catching accessories, especially when it comes to a pair with crystals and pearls. Below is one of my all-time favorites Christian Louboutin shoes taken with my Shirley Style engraved YSL lipsticks.

Van Cleef & Arpels – Vintage Alhambra Pendant limited edition
This was a holiday season limited edition. It’s made of dark malachite and yellow gold. What makes it special compares to the regular vintage Alhambra pendants is the diamond in the center.
I like this necklace because it’s beautify and unique. Also, green is one of my favorite colors.
P.S. The malachite is known as a guardian stone that protects travelers and keep them safe.

Quiet in red coarse glitter is one of my favorite Jimmy Choo stilettos. This goes well especially with simple black dresses for evenings. They no longer make this pump in red coarse glitter after the holidays. For the closest replacemence, see Jimmy Choo Crown Red Coarse Glitter.
