Okay I want all of your honest opinions: What do you guys think about Asian girls who have colored blonde hair? I’ve seen young Asian girls with natural blonde hair and it’s gorgeous. Personally, I don’t know how I feel about colored blonde hair.

I’m naturally a brunette but back when I was in high school, I ALWAYS had blonde hair. Either golden blonde hair, red hair w/ blonde streaks, skunky black/blonde hair, and even full out blonde hair. 

I think certain girls can pull them off. You know, the fake-tanned asian girls with golden skin or the girls who look like they are dressed to go clubbing 24/7…even in a freakin supermarket.
I even think Tila Tequila looked cute as a blonde. 

I feel like a lot of people discriminate against Asian girls with blonde hair. They are seen as dumb, classless or even as lame wannabes. Coming from an Asian girl who has had blonde hair for years, I can tell you why I did it:

1) Asian girls are born with black or dark brown hair for the most part. I wanted to stand out from the rest. I’ve always been that kind of person, so I colored it to help myself feel more unique.

2) We are trained in society to believe that blonde girls are more attractive or have more fun. I tried it out and you know what? Maybe it was a sort of hallucination, but I really did feel that I had more fun.

3) It complimented my pale skin tone. My dark hair made my paleness stand out even more.

4) I felt au naturale with lighter hair. I could wear less makeup. Think of Kim Kardashian. She had far more makeup on when she had dark hair. Dark hair just goes so well with smoky eyes, while lighter hair gives you a more glowy, natural, sun-kissed look and you don’t need to pile on so much. 

5) I received a lot more attention from people since no one is used to seeing Asian girls with blonde hair. It made me feel attractive and helped me to stand out.

But recently, I’ve moved over to dark hair and you know what I’ve noticed?

- Dark hair makes you look mature, sophisticated and serious.

- Dark hair can make you look sexy and exotic. Girls like Kim Kardashian, Courtney Cox, and Megan Fox make it trendy to have dark, shiny hair.

- Dark hair makes your favorite features pop out more. Can bring the blues out in your eyes, and can also really show your glowing tan if you have one.

- It’s so fun to dress up with colorful accessories and outfits. When I had blonde hair, wearing bright colors like blue and pink made me feel like a barbie or a bimbo sometimes. But with dark hair, pink looked really pretty and even dark hair with black looks fierce!

So it doesn’t matter because I am a firm believer in doing things that make YOU happy. I know it’s hard to ignore what other people think but if you think you look good in your eyes, then do it! People are going to talk either way.

But I know now what I didn’t know in high school: That I can have just as much fun being a brunette and dark hair can be HOT too. Even as pale as I am! Just need a little bronzer and I’m good.

What I wanna know is what you guys think about it! Do you like Asian girls as blondes or do you think they should be banned from blonde hair dye?! 

As you ponder on this for a while, I’m gonna go continue watching Austin Powers part 3.  TT4N!!

Hopefully you all had a great New Year’s! I sure had fun watching all the happy people in time square, and watching Jersey Shore re-runs. I didn’t think I would like that show but shoot, it’s entertaining. 
So do you have a New Year’s resolution?

I normally don’t have one but I figured it’s the perfect time. My resolution is to not be so hard on myself. I don’t seem to appreciate anything about myself and I just realized lately that I DO have a lot of good things going on for me and I DO have many accomplishments. I just have to learn to treat myself a little better this year. It can really change my outlook on life and really boost my self-confidence!

SO it’s my favorite part of the blog now!!!

**MAKEUP TIME!!!***

hahahaa

Yesterday, I went to Ulta, which is one of my favorite beauty stores because I like a lot of their products and I especially like the PRICING of the products. Can you say AMAZINGLY affordable?! 
They had a special deal going on yesterday. Buy 2 Ulta cosmetics, get 2 free! So of course, I jumped at the chance to get their mascaras. They have a variety of choices and you can choose any one mascara for $10 max. I have tried nearly all drugstore mascaras and some high-end ones, but Ulta mascaras really have me won over. I currently use these 3:

AMPED LASHES MASCARA: From left to right, the one on the left is good for a natural look. It’s called Amped Lashes. The short spikes in the brush really separate my lashes and coat them evenly without any clumps. It’s clump-proof! If you care about lengthening more than thickening, then this is a really good one for you. You can create either a natural look or dramatic look because if you coat your lashes more than once, it will really lengthen and separate them. 

LASH EXTENSION MASCARA: The 2nd mascara in the middle is very different from any other mascara i’ve ever tried. It’s called Lash Extension Lengthening Mascara. First of all, there is no actual brush or comb, it’s literally just a wand with a few ridges. I don’t know if that even qualifies as a mascara. It’s more like a “Mascara Aid.” There’s nothing to separate your lashes. But what you want to do is either use a lash comb to separate your lashes before and after using this mascara, OR you can use a different mascara with this one and alternate the two. I actually use Amped Lashes with this Lengthening mascara and they work WONDERS together… and they can even look like falsies. 

SHOWSTOPPER LASHES MASCARA: The third tube on the very right is a really cute, trendy mascara. Not only the name Showstopper Lashes, but also the tube is really attractive. The brush is a thick mascara brush that’s curved and that supposedly helps with curling. I say “supposedly” because I don’t believe any mascara will actually “curl” your lashes (that comes from either a tool or genetics), so I always suggest a good curler. But this one is great to help give your lashes a little oomph. It definitely lengthens and thickens which is what it claims to do. (This is my current obsession)

Well, there you go. Go try them out guys, they really are worth the money. I am always trying out new mascaras so chances are, I’ll still experiment with other ones. But for now, these are my faves! You can trust me…
