I believe some of you requested a review of the Grefas Powder so here it is! You ask, I deliver ^_^
Wow it took me forever to do this! LOL!
I read the desription for this on the website and apparently it has some very good properties such as marine collagen and elastin. I think this product is geared towards mature skin as it says that the powder was made to blur fine lines, moisturize, illuminate, and brighten the skin. Pretty cool as long as it doesn't clog pores and helps out in the oil control department. It comes in a pretty good sized container along with a sifter and a separataor for the cloth puff. I'm going to split this review into 3 parts.
1. My initial reaction: When I first tried this powder out, I was amazed! My skin looked absolutely flawless compared to my usual foundation and Palgantong theatrical powder. It actually covers minor scars and makes your skin feel super silky. I wore it for the day and did not even need to blot excess oil; my makeup also did not fade. Some of my regular customers even complimented me! So far so good...right?
2. After a weeks' usage: I started to notice that I was breaking out, but I'm not sure if it's from stress or this powder. Either way I still kept using it as the oil control was near awesome and I also noticed that my pores aren't as noticeable either. Not that it was shrinking my pores, but the powder itself gives a primer like finish I would say. I also noticed that if I put too much on, it would dry out my skin as compared to putting just the right amount. Pretty interesting...
3. Final Verdict- I'm still using this powder and have not gotten any new breakouts so it must've been stress.I think this powder will replace my foundation AND my setting powder because the coverage is pretty good for me considering my scars aren't anything substantial. I'm very impressed at its ability to control oil and blur flaws. Although I would have to add that people with dry skin should not use this as it can get pretty drying; that's probably the only con- it dries out your skin if you use too much. I just take a little in my powder brush, tap out the excess and swipe it over my face. Anyway, I love this powder and will have to ask my cousin to get me more once I run out! I'm not even sure how much this costs and I hope it doesn't cost a pretty penny!

<Look at that! Isn't it the sexiest powder you've ever seen? I just want to throw myself into it, only I'll sneeze non-stop and probably die of foreign particles in my lungs. Oh yeah,I forgot to mention how finely milled and silky the powder is- so luxurious, hence the name Grefas Silky Powder
Hope you all enjoyed this review and found it helpful. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
On to the food porn! I know some of you love my food porn pictures despite the fact that I'm horrible at taking pictures of food. But hey, I try!
A group of my friends and I decided to visit a burger joint that suprisingly is NOT the infamous In n' Out Burgers. We headed to a place called The Counter, which specializes in cutom burgers or what they like to call it, 'Build Your Own Burger', where you customize your burger from the sauce to the meat all the way to bun and what types of veggies you want. It's a little bit expensive but since I was a first timer I was willing to go all out. Not on the pics.
The menu. You put a check mark on what you want in your burger. Pretty cool eh?
My Burger: Turkey burger with honey wheat hamburger buns, grilled onions, grilled red peppers, pepper jack cheese, spicy sour cream (?) and missing guacamole cause they forgot to give it to me -_- Bastards....You're also probably wondering, ".....Where the f@#$ are the fries Ju Lee?!" I simply forgot to take a picture of them, besides you all know what fries look like, you know... those artery clogging goodness? Yeah. Oh I also got a PB&J shake which was the highlight of my whole meal. BEST shake I've ever had!
The peep$
Yes I look like crap I know. I'm not very photogenic when someone else is taking my pic. Especially when the one taking my pic has the hotz for the guy next to me LOL. She only makes sure her baby looks good. He has what I call, credit card slot eyes and he's not even Asian! LOL JK Fern you know we luv ya!
Now after a savory meal we always treat ourselves to Sweetz.
PORTO'S!
Their famous cheese rolls! Lightly sugared crispiness on the outside, sweet cream cheese on the inside.
Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
I couldn't help but take a bite...or 2. SORRY it was worth it! BTW it only looks messed up because I'm a crazy bitch on the road. Afterall, I just got Porto's and you better get the hell out of my way!
If you're in California you MUST go to Porto's! 'Nuff said! Then again, if you're a Californian, Porto's and In n' Out is just one of our many national treasures- when it comes to eatery that is. What is the one restaurant/bakery/cafe or food place that is significant in your countries? Do share!
