perfume and things [ smell splurge ]
My godmother works at a Macy's and gets all sorts of free stuff so she is always bringing by toiletries and clothes and accessories for me to choose from. Today it was a huuuge pile of sample sale perfumes! Some makeup too but mostly scents. I love smelling good so as of today, I have newly acquired:
+ Chrome Legend by Azzaro
+ One by Calvin Klein (used to have it, ran out)
+ Allure by Chanel
+ Chance by Chanel
+ Coco Madamoiselle by Chanel
+ Sensuous by Estee Lauder
+ Gucci by Gucci
+ Deseo by Jennifer Lopez
+ Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture
+ #1 Couture by Juicy Couture
+ Always and Forever by Jessica McClintock [ shimmer lotion perfume, 1 oz ]
+ Attraction by Lancome
+ Magnifique by Lancome [ 0.16 oz ]
+ Miracle by Lancome
+ Nina by Nina Ricci [ lotion perfume, 1.7 oz ]
+ Paris Hilton
+ Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger
+ Rock 'n' Rose Pret a Porter by Valentino
+ Princess by Vera Wang
+ Versace for Women by Versace [ plus body lotion ]
+ Bright Crystal by Versace [ plus body lotion ]
+ L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent [ 0.33 oz ]
(+ Estee Lauder metallic black & bronze eyeshadow)
AND, Nina Ricci silver makeup bag with apple zipper decor to keep it all in :]
I have enough to last me for the next, like, ten years XD. My favorite is by far the Nina Ricci. It smells delicious, like apples and lip gloss and pie :d and I can't believe it smells so good. I also like Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger and Bright Crystal by Versace a lot and L'Homme by YSL makes me feel klassy :P. Surprisingly, Paris Hilton isn't bad, while Always & Forever by Jessica McClintock, Miracle by Lancome, and Gucci by Gucci smell like shit. Gucci really disappointed me, I for sure thought I'd like that one :(. But maybe it was just the paper that I sprayed it on that gave it a bit of a weird smell. Also, Princess by Vera Wang and Allure by Chanel smell wayyyy too sweet for me. But again, maybe it's just the paper I sprayed it on. I'm going to be experimenting with scents for a while, that's for sure. My godmother says next time she'll bring me back the two that I've always wanted: CK Pure Poison and Daisy by Marc Jacobs.
I was looking through my scent collection after that and realized I was running low on one of my favorite perfumes that I absolutely love and has become somewhat of a signature scent since 10th grade: Aura by American Eagle. It smells like fresh laundry and daisies and summer and I'm kicking myself for not buying it in bulk when they still sold it. Anyway, I looked for it on eBay and found three sample sizes for sale for a total of 7.50 so I bought them XD. STOP SPENDING MONEY, SUMMER, HOLY CRAP.
Still, though, the best thing I have ever smelled in this life and I am not kidding either, is my Bath with Sake by Fresh, inspired by Memoirs of a Geisha. I got it as a gift from Maggie's mom a few years ago, and I haven't used it at ALL because I'm afraid it will run out and I will never find another one again. I have no idea what the fuck it smells like other than a hint of sake and paradise, but every time I smell it I feel automatically better. I wish Fresh made it in a perfume. :d
A whole post on perfumes o_o. I promise that I WILL unpack and organize my room tomorrow (er, technically later today) before I pick dad up from the airport @ 4. Not sure how that's going to work since I'm probably going to sleep in and then at some point Daren, Alex and I are hanging out again and probably eating and seeing UP (soo excited XD) but I'll make it happen.......
[ quick update ; Daren, Aleja and I were supposed to hang out on Monday but Daren was lame and wanted to get Lollicup. After I said I'd had it 3 days in a row prior, she said she'd see us on Wednesday -_-; and left for Boulder again so Aleja just came over at around 6, we went to Redbox and rented Seven Pounds and Bolt, picked up Chipotle, and watched them at my house. Bolt<3. Seven Pounds was good but I felt like I was waiting for the movie to start, the whole entire movie. I know a lot of it was supposed to be him falling in love with this Emily Posa girl but the title is called Seven Pounds, it's supposed to focus on the six other people he helped too and it didn't. I felt like we didn't get to see enough of his good deeds with the other six, since even Ezra was only in it for maybe 10 minutes. The whole time we were like "when's he going to help the other six?" So mixed feelings about the structure of the movie, though the message was good. Also, Alex and I called the ending about halfway through it 8D ]

the girl.
I'm Meichen Yu. I'm Summer Yu. I'm Chen. I'm Winter.I'm a 20 year old Chinese (fan)girl from Denver, Colorado, who goes to New York for university. I'm a broadcast journalism major hoping to work in Taiwan as a variety show host after graduation. I love my family of 100+. I've played piano since I was 5 (had it beat into me, more like) and guitar, I charcoal and sketch, and I write fiction. I Photoshop too much. I keep up with fashion, use shopping as cardio, love experimenting with makeup, and go dancing a lot. I am attached to my iPod, love and breathe music, and own too many faded concert tshirts. I dress eclectically; I have polos, suspenders, bright dresses, African print, and Converse lace-up boots in my closet. I'm a walking oxymoron. I can be chill and laid-back and go-with-the-flow and I can also be very passionate and headstrong. I'm girly but emotionally I'm a bit like a man. I'm rather blunt and oblivious and incredibly insensitive. I have a low man-voice and I use it to tell it like it is. I'm a huuuuge EPL (English Premiere League) fan and World Cup fanatic. I can't understand why America is the only country who doesn't see soccer (FOOTBALL) for the beautiful game it is. It's pretty much the only sport I keep up with. Also, I'm a huuuge Asian celebrity fangirl. Fahrenheit, in particular Jiro and Aaron, are my weak spot, though Big Bang ranks as a close second by sheer force of talent. I love Donglun slash. (I also love Reno/Cloud slash.) Often times when I'm walking around listening to my iPod I will daydream a whole music video (with me in them most of the time) in my head as a song plays. Other times I will imagine whole Taiwanese Dramas and cast all the characters. I believe my whole life thus far can be accurately summed up by The Googoo Doll's Dizzy Up the Girl album, hence the blog title. I also hope my future life (with Jiro) will be able to be summed up by Cheer Chen's discography. I eat too much, sleep erratically and usually during the day, party hard, and work my ass off. I have a short attention span and am pretty good at wasting time. Sometimes I get worried that nobody understands my strange self but most of the time I'm not concerned with working too hard at making friends because if it's meant to be, it will stick. I dream big and believe my life will follow as such. If you box your possibilities into a small space, your life will only be mediocre. God gave us dreams and the means to make them come true; use them. I love my good and fearful God. I'm excited to see where life takes me. I'm excited to be alive. :).
I'm terrible at summing myself up in these things.
