When I first saw pictures for the Rose Romance collection, my eyes were drawn onto the beauty powders right away. Not only was the embossed rose on the product an attention grasper but the colours were also very pretty. At first, I was more drawn to Blush of Youth because it has a more wearable colour, but when I went into MAC, the colour was too similar to my skin tone. Not only that, but my last BP (Tahitian Sand from HK) ended up being too light, I still cannot wear it without piling it on. Now I know BP's are suppose to give colour to your face, you can wear it as a blush, hilighter or all over colour but if you have to put a ton of product just to get it to show, then it is not worth it.

Summer Rose ended up being the better of the two for me. It added a light rosey tint to my cheeks and the MA didn't even have to go over it more than twice! I love it. I would say the colour is a pearly sheer rose, great for a lighter look in the summer. For reference, I am an NC35.

My mom made this the other day, it is rice noodles in a coconut milk-curry soup with chicken, carrots and potatoes. In Thai, it is called "Khanom Jeen Namya", the term Khanom Jeen refers to the rice noodles which are different from the ones you normally put into Pho, these are rounder and similar to spaghetti noodles. Namya or sauces/curries can vary. Many Thais will usually put in fish meat but chicken is the other popular alternative. You can add garnishes like bean sprouts, basil, lime and chili peppers depending on how you like it. Some sauces such as fish sauce, chili oil or sugar can be added to taste. I like it hot & sour, so I tend to add loads of chili oil, pepper flakes and lime juice.
