Renai Photography Review

Wanna know how we really feel about our photographer?? Watch the video above to find out more about Eddy Fong of Renai Photography.

I'm baaaaaack!!

Such A Tease!!

I just woke up right now (didn't sleep til 6 am because I was still unpacking at my Mom's) and I just got the best surprise!! Our wonderful fantastic great perfect bomb diggity thoughtful (any other descriptive words to describe how great he is?!) photographer gave us MORE TEASERS!!

I absolutely LOVE this picture!!


And this next one is funny because it's an inside joke. I'm very dominant so I'm always the leader in the relationship. So here I am in the picture pulling him along. Haha!!


I could totally be a photographer's assistant. The photographer was very encouraging of us to think up of ideas, poses, and areas at the locations we went to for good unique shots. While the photographer and DF went on a restroom break I saw these bike racks and thought it would be a cool picture!!


And if you've ever been to San Francisco, you know the beaches here are ugly. Haha. I'm very impressed how great the photographer caught the beach in this picture however..


I love this photo!! It's so sweet!!

I told the photographer how much I loved my shoes and he ended up taking a photo of it!! You can't tell from this angle in this picture but it's not a round shoe, the part of the shoe is angled sharply and looks so cool!! I'll have to take another picture of it so you'll know what I mean!! I think this photo is romantic though.. Makes your mind wonder what we are doing that the camera didn't capture. Haha!!

The evening weather was gorgeous that night!!

We took this picture when it was already getting dark (it was taken at the same beach as the photo above. See the crazy color difference though?? The one above looks like straight up evening time!!) I love how his equipment was able to make it look like it was daytime!!

Well those are all the teasers I have for now. Again, we are blown away at these amazing photos!! Our first vendor we chose and put our deposit for was our photographer and we are 100% satisfied already from what we've seen!! Only a week or two left til we get the rest of the photos!! We're so excited!!

We hope everyone is doing well. We miss you all!! Thanks so much for hanging tight while I got more photos and also for letting me share!! I'll post more when I get the rest in 2-3 more weeks.. Unless our photographer wants to surprise us again with more teasers!! Haha!!

Our engagement pictures!!

Hey everyone!! I'm writing you all from our school library before my next class starts! We just started our spring semester, and FINALLY we are making some progress!! This May we will walk the stage (perhaps, I'm still not sure if this is worth walking for) to get our AA degree. Then we'll be transferring by the end of the year if everything goes right and if there are no budget cuts!! We are so excited!! Please Mr. Governor, don't take any more of our classes away from us!!

Other news, my Mom is moving on Feb. 26th!! She bought a new house!! I'm super excited!! That weekend is going to be really busy!! Not only is that the week she moves into a new house, but that's also the week we take our engagement photos!! I'm so excited!! I've been a fan of Eddy Fong of Renai Photographer for so long, and to finally be working with him, it's going to be so amazing!!

Rey's birthday is coming up around the corner (Feb. 8th) so I'm getting really excited!! He'll be turning 23!! Phew!! Can you believe we met when he was 18, and I was only 17?? We were TEENS!! Pretty soon Rey will be his marry age of 24, and I will be my marrying age of 23.. How time sure has flown!! The other day I was packing some stuff and ran across my high school senior yearbook. I thumbed through it and stumbled upon the senior dedication page he wrote for me. Ahh, it was so sweet!! He signed it, "You hubby Rey Ramirez". He knew even years ago that one day we'd be getting married. I can't wait til next year!! It seems so far away, yet so close especially because we have aimed to do NO planning or DIYing for the last 3 months of our engagement. All we want to do then is worry about the Save the Dates, RSVPs, and final deposits and guest count. Other than that, we want all the other stuff done and chosen. We don't want to stress as the final months close in. My Mom finished her planning with 2 months to spare (aside from the RSVP and the final deposits and guest count), so I know we can do it for sure!! I have bad skin, so I want to focus on remaining as stress free as possible and take care of my skin so I don't have a HUGE zit on my face when the wedding rolls around. These past 2 weeks my skin has been looking great, I'm so impressed. But I guess because my face skin got so used to this crazy cold weather, it's not breaking out. (My skin breaks out when the weather changes).

Anyways, we hope everyone is doing well!! Hopefully 2010 is being good to you. We can't believe how January is almost over!! The year is already going by really fast!! Yahoo!! 2010 roll over, so our wedding year can get here already!!

In hopes of finding a whole section dedicated to ELF, but just like K-Mart, Target only had a end cap solely for ElF. Boo!!

Anyways, I hope this helps you out if you're looking for ELF at your local Target. Don't be like me looking over and over down each aisle. It's outside at the end!! Sorry this video is so short, there wasn't much room to video tape because there was so many people walking behind me looking at me like I'm a weirdo video taping some beauty products. Haha!!

ELF Studio Powder Brush vs. Face Secrets Powder Buff Brush Review!!

Hope this helps you guys to see the differences in these two brushes. Here's is a video comparison of the ELF Studio Powder Brush vs the Face Secrets Powder Buff Brush from Sallys. The ELF Powder Brush is $3 from their Studio line, however I got it in their 11 Piece Brush Collection. The collection is $30, which is great because if you were to buy the brushes individually it would be $38. This makes each brush in the set come out to about $2.78 cents. Plus it also comes with a carry case!! I cannot say enough great things about this Studio line. Very impressive. The Face Secrets brush is about $7.99. Online the brush handle looks like a light brown color however my handle on my brush is all dark black. And I'm serious when I say the Face Secrets brush literally smells!!


You can watch the great video I spoke about in the video from a great YouTuber named guitarrasara. She does a great video on how she found out the ELF Studio brush was made of wood!! Check her out here!!

Paranormal Activity Review!!

Wow seriously?? Where did this movie go wrong?? First off, it's like the Blare Witch Project. It's made to look homemade to give it a scary "real" feel. This isn't a documentary folks. I hate when movies say it's "based on a true story". It makes it sound real but its not. It may be that there was a couple who thought they lived in a scary house and they lived in San Diego however none of this stuff really happened. Throwing around the words "based on a true story" doesn't mean squat to me. After all, how much of it is real??

Second of all, this movie is SO SLOW!! I got warned it was slow in the beginning, but I never thought it would be slow throughout. I thought the end of the movie was the beginning because that's when it started to get a bit of action. In addition this same friend told me the ending scene was "the shit" and well.. They show the ending scene in the trailer so it wasn't really "the shit" once I already saw it. Literally everything in the trailer is the "big parts" in the movie. Just watch the trailer and ta-da!! It's the whole movie!! It was all very predictable. You could ask Rey, many times throughout the movie I whispered over to him what was going to happen next. Haha!!

No need to say I was deeply disappointed in this movie once I heard rave reviews on it. plus the "in demand" for this movie. The producers made it seem to "limited". I wish I would have saved my money. I don't even think this is worth renting nor seeing for free when it hits a TV channel. Ughh, so lame!!

1/5. So wack, however I did laugh a few times because I thought there was some stupid parts and also because the way the audience reacted like little babies over every little thing!!

Law Abiding Citizen Review!!

I often times find movies good, however I rarely find a movie that was worth the $10.25 x 2 for the movie ticket entry, then the $20 on popcorn and drinks, however I will say this this movie was worth it!!

Rey invited some of our good friends out and we went to watch this movie. It was sweet because he remembered that when I saw the preview for this movie, I had wanted to watch it!! So off we went to the movies. The movie was so good! It was very suspenseful!! Good action when you least expected it! Never once did I check my watch!! And I even groaned when Rey had to get up to pee because I didn't want him to miss anything!! The movie is so good!! In the beginning it goes straight into the story (and it also made me tear up! So heart wrenching!!), which was good because I hate a movie which lags and takes forever to get on with the story (Not to throw you under the bus Paranormal Activity!!). There were many moments in the movie where I didn't see what was coming which was great. I don't want to give away any spoilers but after the movie when we all walked out of the theater we all said what a great movie it was and how we felt like we got our moneys worth!! Go watch it!!

5/5!! Doesn't get any better than this!! Very suspenseful!!

E.L.F. Review!!

As you all have seen my mini video hall (if not you could watch it here), I was sharing with you guys on some of the goodies I got while at K-Mart. Well, here is a little review blog on the items I have tried. I haven't tried em all, but this is what I've tried so far. And just as an update, I already placed my other order for the brushes and I've been waiting for 4 days. It still hasn't been shipped out. They take forever with their processing, it's quite annoying. Anyways onward with the reviews, in order here is what we'll review today:

$1 E.L.F. Brightening Eye Color in Drama 2007/81201
Their eyeshadow is a bit powdery and loose. However this quad is very dense. Not only is their black very dark, but their white is very very white!! This product is pretty true to color. However I lightly put this over my Too Faced Shadow Insurance and it still didn't stay on that well. I'd give this a 3/5.

$1 E.L.F. Brightening Eye Color in Silver Lining 2003/90302
Very similar to the Drama quad with consistency. However this isn't as dense. I'd give this a 3/5 as well.

The Brightening Eye Color in Drama swatches are on top while the Brightening Eye Color in Silver Lining is on the bottom. Again this was put over lightly applied Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

$1 E.L.F. Liquid Eyeshadow in Coco Loco 7403
$1 E.L.F. Liquid Eyeshadow in Green Machine 7405
$1 E.L.F. Liquid Eyeshadow in Sultry Satin 7401
$1 E.L.F. Liquid Eyeshadow in Misty Mauve 7406
Again, these swatches are in order from the photo and list above!!I love love love this!! It's amazing!! I haven't put it on my eyes yet so I can't tell you about the creasing or smudging, however when I tried to wash this off with soap, I had to scrub pretty hard!! And wash it two times over!! The colors are so dense!! And it's very creamy!! I love this!! 5/5 so far!!

$1 E.L.F. Water Resistant Liquid Eyeliner in Black
This is a fantastic eyeliner!! It's very dense, dark true black. And it does not smudge at all!! It stays on so well!! The best liquid eyeliner I've ever tried!! The only down side is the tip is crazy hard and when I accidentally poked myself in my eye it hurt, however the good thing is that when the product went into my eye, it didn't sting!! Yippee!! I give it a 5/5!!

And although I didn't buy this at the time, I had previously bought it and thought I should share it with you guys:

$1 Gentle Lip Scrub
Eh, it's nothing fabulous. One light coat feels good, melts pretty well on your lips. but if you put more than one then your lips will feel so waxy you could scrape the wax off your lips. Plus even when it's stored properly it still dries out and makes it hard to melt on your lips. The scent isn't very pleasant either, smells very waxy. I'd like to see them make this product a bit more moist and also maybe cherry scented!! I give it a 2/5.

That's about it for now, I'll keep you all updated when the next package comes in!!
