Krispy Adventures: Leoda's in Maui! ❤

While I was in the beautiful island Maui, Hawaii, I had the opportunity to visit one of Maui's best eats: 

Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop!

It was a tiny little place, quaint but decorated beautifully with painting and nautical items. 

Busy little stand, but everyone was happy and buzzing. Paradise is a wonderful place to be, indeed.

So my cousin, my sister, and I bought an entree each for ourselves. 

We came back to the hotel with bags of food and anticipation. 

We laid out a sheet on our hotel floor and had a picnic right then and there.

Not much to say now, so just enjoy these food pictures~

Greasy... but promising. 

Leoda's Chicken Pot Pie 

Leoda's Garden Salad

Leoda's Burger

Then, finally, we were able to finally taste what Leoda's was famous for: 

THEIR PIES! 

We each got a tiny little pie, each decorated simply and adorably.

Chocolate Cream Pie 

Apple Crumble Pie 

Banana Cream Pie 

The banana cream pie was mine....

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.

I HAVE NEVER TASTED ANYTHING SO AMAZING IN MY LIFE.

If i'm ever back in Maui... #1 priority. 

Bags and bags of food later, we all fell into a food coma.

Hawaii was an amazing experience...one I will never forget. 

I was able to truly appreciate the island mentality and lifestyle. I was still a young child the last time I  went to Hawaii. 

Now that i've entered one of my most stressful years of studies, I can look back and feel grateful for the peace and utter elation that I felt on this paradise island.

The island mentality was so... laid-back. So causal. 

Going on vacation with my family like this may not come again for a long time, so i'm glad I was able to have this. It was a lovely holiday.

I hope you enjoyed this foodie post! :) 

I know i've been gone, I'm well aware. 

I'm a busy bee since school started. 

Good to look back at my summer adventures.

Mini Makeup Haul! ❤

Yes, I am back again!

If you've noticed, I've been posting alot these past few days. :)

This is because I owe it to you guys. 

When I find extra time, I've gotta dedicate it to the success of this blog. 

So i'm back with a LONG overdue post,

My Summer Mini Makeup Haul! :D 

As you can see in the picture above, I only bought four products, but it was $$$ lemme tell ya.

Alright, so to get right to the point, let's start with the first product! 

1. benefit's "Watt's up!" highlighter

PRICE: $30.00 @ Sephora

The packaging as FREAKING adorable, I may add. benefit has never disappointed me with their vibrant and adorable package designs, and I think it really attracts me to their products. 

So the product claims to illuminate the areas of the face that it is applied to, and to give a light pink shimmer. I was actually given the smaller sample size of this product about a year before as a sephora birthday gift, and I have been using it ever since! Its tiny and easy to carry around, and it really is a very subtle yet works very well. 

So I was very excited to purchase the full sized product because, you know, bigger the better?

Well, I would say it isn't. 

While the product is the same and works just as well, the size of the product is the main concern for me. 

For the mini version that I had, it was easier to apply to small places like the nose bridge, eyebrow bone, and the inner corners of the eyes. (this is just where I applied it.) 

The large size of the product made it a bit clumsy and less kept-together.

But nonetheless, still a great product. I recommend! 

2. benefit's REAL! Push-up Liner

PRICE: $24.00

This is what's HOT in the beauty world right now.

benefit has come out with this magnificent new eyeliner that is blacker than black, and applies like no other. 

Its supposed to get between the lashes and apply such an even coat you won't even have to line the waterline. 

Lemme just start off by saying I was VERY excited to buy this. I had read about it, watched reviews on it, and I just anticipated getting it.

Eyeliner is probably my most IMPORTANT element of makeup.

It just looks really good and gives the eye that definitive shape, as well as showing expression and making them pop. 

So, therefore, I was extremely excited to find this in the store that day for my immediate purchase.

The tip of the brush is specially designed to curve AROUND the lashes, so that it really gets a close line.

As you can see, most of the tip is actually PLASTIC, and the product is actually dispensed through a small slit in the plastic. There is knob at the bottom to turn that will push the product out.

Its sharp, and that is the technology that supposedly gives a magnificent line to the eye. 

So, I want to say I adored this product, but I didn't.

Although it was very dark and made a great line, it ran. 

it ran alot. 

I would have lines on the fold of my eyelid and black circles under my eyes.

tried to fix it with primer, but to no avail. 

I may give an update on this later, and i will try to find a solution as well. 

I would recommend it, because the running is for my eyelid type specifically.

Otherwise the product is very dark and rich, living up to the hype. 

3. Drawing Show: Brush Liner 

PRICE: Apprx. $9:50

Another buy from my favorite brand-Etude House

Always on the look-out for new eyeliners, and I was quick to jump on this one.

From this same exact line, I have a little tub of gel liner. 

Its the most AMAZING thing, therefore I had to try the brush liner.

To get straight to the review: 

This liner... leaks.

It gives me eye bags, even with a THICK layer of eye primer.

But, nonetheless, I do like it.

Not my go-to liner, but if I really need a thin line, its what I grab.

The tip is the typical brush tip, which is easy to glide across the eyelid.

The color of the product is a nice, deep black, very opaque and having great cohesiveness when applied.

Not much to say about the product, only that its good, but not the best that i've had. 

I hope you all enjoyed my LONG OVERDUE haul post! ^^ 

School has SERIOUSLY been horrifically busy, so posting is a difficult task to find time for.

I know you have all been waiting, and I am sorry. I promise with my whole heart that I will try to post more. 

In fact, i've just ordered a bunch from Yesstyle.com, so another haul post may be flying your way!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! :) 

Boy, i'm exhausted.
