Squiggly lines to the left is the lip liner in "Natural"
(Swatches with flash)


All purchased from Cherry Culture (I think theres a sale right now!)


Oh and found a photo of me wearing Circe the first day I got it! I was so excited to find a nude that wasn't too light and could be worn on it's own. Im not 100% sure about my MAC shade now, I think im between NC20-25 at the moment. But im 118 in Make Up Forever, which is a perfect match for me


Last photo is for...i'm sorry I forget your name >.< and couldn't find your e-mail. But as I mentioned...its just a loose shirt with a wide neck. You have to kind of use your imagination to figure out how it can be worn

Helllloooo my wonderful blog readers :)


Sorry for the kind of underwhelming blog posts lately. I know that people have always enjoyed that I talked about personal things on my blog, and I'm glad because thats what I originally intended it to be. I wanted my blog to be a place I could connect with people and share more of my life outside of youtube, beauty, etc because these things are honestly only a very small part of my life. However as I've gotten larger on youtube and as many other youtubers have addressed, the hate and negativity surrounding youtubers has been ridiculous. I'm no longer going to talk about life, friends etc because my friends, family and the people I associate with don't deserve to be harassed, stalked, snooped on etc (essentially punished) for the decisions I've made to make videos. Also as many of you have noticed, I'm no longer going to host my own blogtvs. At least I can teehee at the "haters", but my friends receive nothing and don't deserve the invasion of privacy.

So with that being said, I'm sorry. I'm quite sad myself...I had lots of funny pictures, stories etc to share. I agree that it's completely ridiculous a few bad apples have to ruin it for everyone. I know some of you guys have followed me from day one, and I really and truly appreciate it. But once again I won't let my friends be punished for the decisions I make.

Therefore, this blog will from now on only be reviews, swatches and the like (boring stuff). Probably the only other people it will feature are people who have also made the same silly decisions as me to "put ourselves out there". But if we didn't who would you have to titter about all day?

I seriously considered deleting my twitter as well, but im going to keep it around since its honestly the easiest and fastest platform for me to communicate with people when they ask a question. So if you wanted anything answered somewhat quickly, just head over there @mszjackiechu. Sometimes I don't see it right away but if I don't get back to you that day try again and hopefully I'll see it that time!

Have a nice summer guys :)

My First Jewelmint Purchase :)



So I had heard a lot about this company. I have to say I was pretty doubtful at first (I'm a critic/pessimist) particularly because the company was a subscription service and I had never dealt with a company like that before. For those of you guys that don't know what Jewelmint is, its a monthly subscription service and for $29.99 a month (however, theres a million 1/2 off codes floating around) you get to pick a piece "chosen" for you :) however I'd ALWAYS advise to hit the "show me more" tab on the left main screen so you can see the ENTIRE website's selection for that month

Pros:
-Unique jewelry, everyone should find something they like
-Quality pieces and packaging
-Often have 50% off coupons
-Has ideas on what to wear with the pieces you choose
-Offers FREE jewelry if you refer your friend. Give your friends your referral link and you'll receive a free credit for a piece of jewelry :) I like this because I feel as if most referral programs only offer partial credit towards a purchase, here you actually get something when you refer someone (IE EVERYONE, even if you have no following can get something!)
-Shipping is included :)!

Cons:
-Once you've made your first purchase, you MUST remember to skip that month if you decide you don't want anything! (This could be hard to remember for some people)
-The style quiz is super fun! But often times their top pick for me actually wasn't my top, however the more you use the site the more the site gets to know your taste =] This is why I suggest you ALWAYS hit the show me more tab

I only decided to check it out and purchase two pieces because I heard good review after good review about this site, and not just from people who received these for free. Subscribers, random blogs and yes fellow youtubers (whose opinion I know I can trust and count on) only had good things to say. I decided to buy them on my own (even though the company previously messaged me) because I think my email to them got lost and I was afraid of the pieces I'd like selling out. I definitely don't regret my purchase :) and am very happy. Please watch my youtube video for more info!

PS. I chose to skip this month- but the versailles earrings are back in stock if you have the same taste as me! :) Overall I'm kind of surprised by how much fun I had with this site >.< I bought these on the 31st so I was surprised by how much I looked forward to June's selections =]

Stuff to save you money :D

Some things I'd like to share with you guys:

LASHES
I received some new discount codes from Madam Madeline in the email the other day I thought i'd share, since I'm pretty sure most of you aren't signed up for their newsletters. They're pretty rare and not annoying or anything :) I probably get one once or twice a month

SPEND $50.00 & SAVE $5
(USE COUPON CODE FAV5)

SPEND $75.00 & SAVE $10
(USE COUPON CODE FAV10)

SPEND $125.00 & SAVE $20
(USE COUPON CODE FAV20)

Unfortunately they'll only work if you're a big time lash hauler as you can see the minimum order is 50 dollars :[ Otherwise you can still use the code 'FALSIES' in the coupon box for 8% off your order and don't forget to put "FREEBIE" in the message box to get a free pair with your order! In case you don't know what Madam Madeline is it's the site I buy all my american brand lashes from and the cheapest I've found in the past three years or so



ANYTHING FROM AMAZON
Also some of the kids in my class told us university students are eligible for free 2 day shipping with the free year trial of Amazon prime :) You just sign up with your school's email(so if you can still access your old email if you're a grad I think it'll work too). I THINK there's a free one year trial for moms (idk how'd they check this though so maybe you can use this if you're not a student?) and a free one month trial for everyone else. Next day shipping is 3.99 with this offer :) Just thought it'd be neat to share this with you guys since I always buy my books on amazon now but shipping is always a pain! The shipping deals only work with amazon controlled sales though :[ But heres where you can sign up for your trial


From what my friends have told me my understanding is that after a year the trial turns in to an automated subscription service, so unsign after a year! (haha!) Or they'll charge you 70 something dollars. Or keep it if you order a lot from amazon so it'd be worth it to you.


15% off SEPHORA

And lastly Sephora's Beauty Insider program is offering 15% off now until April 21st in store and online on all their products, so it's a good time to stock up if you have an HGs there or you've been dying to try something out :) You must be a beauty insider but it's free to sign up here on their site. If you choose to shop online you can use the code 'CHIC' at checkout to receive your 15% off




Okay now discounts aside I think it's important to change my opinion of my Unii palette. Unii palettes are these cute korean-made free form palettes that I bought and featured in two of my videos including my "What I bring with me when I travel" video. These are way sturdier than MAC palettes (too thin) or z palettes (made out of cardboard, is you serious?!) but they're also 2x as expensive. I don't find fault in them at all EXCEPT I don't think the magnet is strong enough. During travel I noticed my shadows kept lifting from the bottom and flying around the container. At first I thought it was just me because I've seen people flip these upside down and nothing moved, but I think if you use the magnets they give you and cover the entire pan of the shadow/blush you'll be fine. And I confirmed with a few other people to make sure it wasn't just my bad luck. I put MAC products in mine and the magnet they come with are pretty small, and the Unii can't hold on to them, (and Rae had problems with her LM blush shifting too). So just thought i'd throw that out there because I feel like its a pretty important flaw of the product :[ For 30$ that magnet better hold on to a freakin' car or something (haha...kidding but it better hold on tight to my eyeshadows!). A lot of my shadows have chips in them now from being tossed around inside :[

Okay off to read more, sorry guys I'll do my NY posts soon but i'm struggling with blogspots uploading system. It drives me bonkers! But I think for now I'll stick with it and consider wordpress in the future :) Take care

25 Random Facts About Me :)

I keep seeing people I follow do this tag, and it's funny how much you learn about people through it (even people who you speak to often) so I thought it'd be a fun and easy blog post to do :)

1. I'm INCREDIBLY afraid of the dark, so much so I can't sleep without a light on. I'll stay awake even if it means being awake until the sun rises and then sleeping when there's light. Speaking of sleeping, I have nightmares almost every single night. I usually wake up at least once or twice in my sleep

2. I love animals. Honestly I like them more than people. I'll make excuses for mean animals but not rotten people LOL. They love you no matter what, they don't care about how you look or how you dress, the money you have etc...and even if they don't love you at least they wont pretend like they do :P

3. I am NOTORIOUS for losing everything. Clothes, shoes, sunglasses (especially). Anyone who hangs out with me enough starts looking around every time we leave somewhere because they know I probably left something behind

4. I am half Cantonese, half Mandarin Chinese. Culturally I identify more with my Cantonese half, but I speak mostly Mandarin Chinese (my mom focused on speaking mandarin to me because it is more universal)

5. I never kept my nails painted until youtube (I do it so no one will harp at me haha!).But now I really like and appreciate how it looks :)

6. I have a really bad habit of shaking my foot that I'm trying to stop. I think it's horrendous but I do it whenever I'm idle

7. I have IBS/Spastic Colon. So basically my digestive system doesn't work very well. I'm usually pretty bloated if not in pain -_-

8. I stand at only 5'2 but I'm the tallest person in my family (my dad used to be taller but he shrunk with age, but even then he was only 5'4)

Chinese fan dance...Haha sometime during elementary school

9. I learned all sorts of dance growing up. I took ballet for 14 years, 6 or so years of Chinese folk dancing, and I dabbled a bit in ball room, hip hop and some other courses too.

10. I can sleep for 14 hours+ if you let me ;_; and I'm incredibly grumpy and snappy when I'm tired.

11. I play the gu zheng, otherwise known as the chinese harp. My mom gave me the options of piano or violin and I told her I didn't want either because they're so typical. Eventually we settled on something a bit more unique :P

12. I never went to school with another Asian until high school.

13. I can eat as much as my boyfriend who is a little over 6'1 -_- But I like to believe it's because HE eats too little and not because I eat too much :p

14. I have a crazy work ethic. I refuse to text during work, slack off or not finish a job I know needs to be done, regardless of the time I'm being paid for. If I have to stay and work overtime and off the clock I will. If I ever feel I didn't do something as well as I can it'll nag at me long after

15. My only food addictions in life are: boba (bubble) milk tea, spicy tuna rolls, fresh spring rolls, xia long baos, anything soupy or noodle/pasta dishes and most recently, street tacos :D!!!

16. I don't particularly like hello kitty, but for some reason I feel obligated to purchase hello kitty stuff and to think it's cute. Does that make any sense -_-?

17. I have a really heavy conscience. I just don't understand people who don't respect other people's right to be happy, but I'm a big believer in Karma as well.

18. I never carry around cash because I think it's obnoxious and I tend to spend it more frivolously than the money on my debit card (which makes no sense).

19. I want to learn photoshop so I can alter the hell out of my pictures and make myself a babe 8) (half joking) But I really want to spruce my blog up in general :)

20. I hated tea as a kid but now I loooveee drinking tea :) I think its so relaxing.

21. People hate texting me unless they have iPhones as well because I text like its AIM. -_- So basically I habitually text in many short bursts

22. I'm incredibly paranoid. I think this is something thats kind of come out of my life experiences. I used to trust everyone and now I don't trust anyone.

23. I haven't had short hair since 10th grade. It was the result of a bad hair cut-she chopped off all my hair when I only asked for a trim. She asked me how I liked it and I cried because prom was the next week x.x

24. I really hate my youtube screen name. I made it a long time ago and never thought it'd be something that would remain affiliated with me since I never thought i'd upload my own videos. I might as well have made it xXmszjackiechuXx or something even more asian ^___^V
blegh. Haha

25. I have one older sister and two (much older) half sisters.

And thats it! Wow that's a text heavy blog...I know everyone always warns about picture heavy posts (and this may be juvenile of me) but I like pictures :D So here, another! From the ballet days :) Check out the wicked one piece tan line and how buff the legs used to be x.x

Take care ^^ Next posts will be about NY<3

xo, Jackie

Oh. Do I even need to introduce this one? Since this youtube video went viral I've had countless subscribers send me links, parodies, news articles etc. But let me just say this: I think this incident has gone way out of control.

Now let me make it clear that I am NOT defending her. It's clear to me that she's narrow-minded, self-entitled, a bigot and foolish. I'm not saying what she did wasn't stupid. The truth is this girl just ruined her life with a 3 minute webcam rant gone viral. Sounds dramatic right? But new stories are being posted on this by the minute, and not just by some bored kids during finals week. LA Times, New York Daily, and even the chancellor of UCLA himself has commented on this incident. Her name has even started to be a trending topic on twitter. How will she ever show her face again on campus with a student population that is over 40% asian?

Let me first explain what bothers me about the video:
- "These hoards of asian people that UCLA accepts in to our school every year". She refers to UCLA as "our school", does this mean that if you are a student and you are not white then it is not your school?

-Mocking asian family ties. ESPECIALLY the part where she complains about the whole family coming over from china...earth to you. Practically everyone immigrated here. America isn't "yours" either.

-The whole ching chong ling long ting tong junk. Note to self: Write that on tomorrow's final and see if my teacher will accept it as integration of new outside vocabulary LOL

-The complete insensitivity to those affected by the tsunami.

But in all honesty I'm kind of shocked (and disappointed) by the asian community's reaction to this video. I've seen death threats, her address posted, email, contact information everything. Calling her a "bitch" "slut" "whore", and multiple posts encouraging people to contact UCLA school officials to have her expelled...come on now. Seriously?

This epitomizes what I hate MOST about the asian community. One of my friends mentioned he was glad this video happened and that it, "bonded and united the asian community". These are not the kind of issues we should be bonding over. I feel like one of our shortcomings as a community is we pick and pick and pick at people until there is just nothing left. We actively participate and revel in watching people fall, and lack empathy towards those we do not identify with. THIS video should not have been re-tweeted hundreds of times in an hour when I feel no videos regarding Tsunami fundraising where given such attention or passion. The way I see it getting this girl kicked out of school is not going to change her feelings of entitlement or thoughts toward asian culture. It won't erase the bigotry that has been deeply engrained there for many years. She obviously opened up a can of worms with this one, and I promise you guys she is already deeply paying for her lapse of judgement. Regardless of the school's actions, I really don't think she can continue to soundly go to school there (unless she changes her name and gets a great dye job). I'm also pretty sure that at the very least she won't be completing her finals this quarter. I'm sure she's paid enough and will continue to pay in the days and weeks to come.

So yes, she was dumb. We all know this. She should have just moved higher up in the library to the quieter floors (every library at the UCs are like this, the higher up you go the more studious and quiet the people). It would have taken much less time than making, editing and uploading a video to youtube. But the truth of the matter is nothing she said in the video shocked me and It's nothing I haven't heard multiple times growing up. I've been "ching chonged" at more times than I can count. Unfortunately there's a million people out there just like her, and there's better and more admirable things that the Asian community can bond over rather than the video of some silly girl.


So ching chong away fellow Asians hahahahaa!!
And if you become exasperated this finals season, try not to upload a racist tirade on to youtube.

love, Jackie


"an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind"
...and doesn't make her or the world any less racist.



PS. I'd also like to note that people kill themselves all the time over cyber-bullying. It's happened many many times before, and your specific IP address is recorded every time you write on the internet (even when you post somewhere anonymously) and all it takes is a court issued subpoena to release your information to authorities. So be smart about the things you do and say online, as Ms. Wallace has learned the online world is the new reality.

Yet another random and sporadic blog post.
Why? Because I made some particularly potent hot royal milk tea (I've been trying to perfect the recipe >.<) and I can't sleep. Although I really should.


So after going to the gym and letting my hair down I thought BLEGH. I mean I had worked out a lot but still...inexcusable. Was in much need of a deep conditioning treatment -_-

After :D Perffeeccttion. Excuse my vanity but I thought the mane looked particularly awesome in this picture and look! it works :) The second pic is of my hair non-straightened, it lays flat much better when its moisturized ^^ So now you guys know that the Hask n Placenta Hair mask with olive oil works and i'm not trying to get a kick of you using unspoken body parts on your hair.

Next I'm sad about finals but I started studying a week ago so I'm pretty confident in all of mine :) I'm so excited to go to New York. You guys have no idea...its pretty much all i've been thinking about. That and all the DELICIOUS food I will be religiously blogging ^^ Zee boyfriend has to go to work Wed-Fri when I'm there so I'll have my daylight hours to make videos and blog for you guys :D Also I should have a imju fiberwig mascara review up soon. I LOVE THIS MASCARA AHH! :D But it's been kind of hard for me to figure out a good side shot so that's whats been keeping me. But it's wonderful...it really does give you a falsie-like effect :) Perfect if you're like me who loves the look of falsies but would feel uncomfortable with the thought of wearing them everyday.



Also I thought I'd share with you guys some stories since I've been studying so much for....you already know what. CHINESE. Joy. My entire life now centers around your class Liu Laoshi. Haha but in all honestly I actually loved her as a teacher and am quite sad she won't be teaching the second half of the class :[ But every day in class I sit next to the same guy and we we're exchanging stories about how we were both reluctant to learn chinese when we were young....obviously my stubbornness was more outrageous. I've always been VERY stubborn (and spiteful!) . Thankfully I'm not quite like this any longer though so *deep breath* story time okay?

So there are two incidents that I recall clearly growing up. The first was my father telling my mom that no one was to speak or interact with me unless I spoke chinese. This meant no eating (being fed), no being spoken to, no going out, nothing. So yup, I starved myself for four days with no food. As a child I wasn't really fond of eating anyway...my mom took me to the doctor when I was in 2nd grade because I'd only eat a tablespoon of rice and she was worried I had an eating disorder. Now she knows this lack of interest in food is because I've always hated rice because its terribly bland LOL. Even to this day I only have rice when I'm eating sushi...and that's about it. But between starve or learn chinese. I chose starve. Obviously this method of encouragement failed and life resumed as normal sans chinese.

Second...I was still in second grade so this was about the same time as story number one. My parents were about to go out to dinner and my dad gave me the option of "study for your chinese test or get out the house". So you can guess what I did...I started packing. Hahaha I spent the whole 4 hours of their absence packing all my adolescent things and bringing them downstairs. By the time my parents got home my mom came in to the living room to see me staring at a tower of boxes 5 boxes high...and me sitting there with a puzzled look on my face trying to figure out how the hell I was going to get it all on my little red wagon and out the door. She asked me what I was doing with the boxes and I explained that my options were study or get out...so I chose get out. She kind of just rolled her eyes at this and sat down with me to study -_- haha

Moral of this story: Even if your dad is a huge jerk off, learn the language anyway so you don't have to spend excessive hours in college catching up. Well okay thats not the real moral of this post...the true moral is don't make overly strong tea at 3 am and expect to sleep or make comprehensible blog posts

Night world :)


PS. Needless to say you have all heard of the catastrophe going on in Japan. I just donated $10 to the redcross via text by texting the word "REDCROSS" to 90999. The 10 dollars will be added to your next phone bill :) Come on guys...it costs as much as a dinner out with friends. Just stay home, cook for yourself and do something good for someone else. If you can afford $40 foundations and $50.00 Chanel blushes, you can spare 10 dollars to help people who really need it.

Also please note there are many fundraising blogtvs going on right now :) You can support relief efforts just by dropping by! Bubzbeauty is hosting one RIGHT NOW...but will only be on for a few hours longer. So if you're awake within three hours of this blog's posting please drop by- believe it or not your view counts ^^ Thank you guys
