A Nice Makeup Makes Me A Perfect Happy Day
My friend asked me last week from Instagram message: Do you do your makeup everyday? I said, yes, I do, a nice makeup makes me feel wake up and be ready for a brand new day.

I don’t know if you agree with me, especially we don’t really go out and meet anyone these days. Actually I still meet some people online, they are my students. I am currently teach art through Zoom almost everyday. But you know, online class, no one cares about your makeup. However, I say, I do my makeup for myself, I feel happy and nice about myself. And today, I want to share what I have been using for my daily looks!
First, super important! SUNSCREEN! Everyday!

I use Juice Beauty’s SPF 30 OIL-FREE MOISTURIZER.
Hydrate and protect your skin’s natural moisture balance with this lightweight, zinc broad spectrum SPF 30 moisturizer made with antioxidant rich organic grape and pomegranate, soothing aloe vera, vitamins, and nutrient rich sea algae. Helps prevent premature signs of aging caused by everyday sun exposure. Clears while hydrates.
Next, Dark Circle? Say Bye Bye.

I use it Cosmetics’ Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer.
Developed with plastic surgeons, IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer is your #1 best-selling* under-eye concealer for dark circles, dark spots and more. It provides flawless full coverage for up to 24 hours and comes in 48 shades! #1 concealer formula for IT Cosmetics brand in the US.
Start the “artwork” from the top – Eyebrows

I use Lottie London’s Arch Rival Microblade Effect Brow Pen and Arch Rival Brow Artist Retractable Eyebrow Pencil
Inspired by microbladed brows that are always on fleek, Lottie London’s Arch Rival Microblade Effect Brow Pen lets you achieve the flawless finish of microblading for a fraction of the price. The ultra-fine precision 4-pronged tip allows you to create the smallest of strokes to mimic your natural brow hair for brows that look straight-from-the-salon fresh.Lottie London’s Arch Rival Collection has all your brow dilemmas covered. Their Arch Rival Brow Artist Retractable Eyebrow Pencil is ideal for filling in those gaps and saying goodbye to unruly and sparse eyebrows. Available in shades to suit all hair tones. Lottie London is currently available at Ulta, https://www.ulta.com/.
Eye shadows, anything more fun than doing that?

I use Shared Planet’s TIGER EYESHADOW PALETTE.
Inspired by the Tiger and its natural habitat, Shared Planet’s Tiger Eyeshadow Palette mixes a range of 12 rich neutrals, browns and deep green with rich lustrous golds.
Let’s put some shine and red on – Highlighter and Blush

I use Shared Planet’s SEA TURTLE HIGHLIGHTING PALETTE.
The sea turtle plays a vital role in preserving a healthy marine ecosystem. As sea turtle populations decline, so does their ability to perform this critical function. Shared Planet’s collection of shimmering, pearlescent highlighters is inspired by the majestic sea turtle and is dedicated to its conservation and well-being.
This limited-edition palette consists of 5 warm golden shades designed to complement all skintones. Each metallic hue imparts a sheer wash of color that melts into skin, layering together to create a natural, lit from within radiance. Dust over cheeks, brow bone, cupid’s bow, bridge of nose or any high point on the face or body for a multidimensional glow.
We need strong lines for a artistic reason – Eyeliner

I use Shiseido’s ArchLiner Ink.
The micro-fine, arched tip and ergonomic design create an entirely new-yet-intuitive gesture for applying eyeliner and eliminate the once-unavoidable blind spot that is often created by the user’s hand or the pen itself. Saturated with a high level of ultra-black pigment, this revolutionary flow-through liner delivers a precise, quick-dry formula that provides up to 24 hours of waterproof, smudge-proof and tear-proof color.
A soft lip first, then ready to add color

I use Dionis’ Goat Milk & Honey Lip Balm.
Dionis lip balms are twice the size of a standard lip balm! They infuse the beeswax with natural Goat Milk, Shea Butter and Coconut Oil to repair chapped lips and keep moisture in. Goat milk is naturally enriched with high amounts of protein, fat, iron, vitamin A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and many more.
A nice lipstick color will add so much points

I use Shiseido’s ModernMatte Powder Lipstick.
This non-drying formula delivers matte, full-coverage color that feels utterly weightless and provides a powder-soft finish on lips. A unique blend of waxes and oils melts and transforms into an ultra-thin, featherweight powder, while spherical pigments float across lips to blur imperfections. Available in 24 shades inspired by Tokyo’s vibrant nightlife, this statement-making lipstick provides eight hours of rich, velvety color. Dermatologist-tested.
A woman who does not wear perfume has no future
Romantic, flirty and fearless, the woman who wears Ciao greets—and embraces—the world with a free spirit and fresh, positive attitude. Ciao’s scent story opens with tangy Italian Mandarin and Pink Grapefruit, grounded by Wild Strawberry and shimmering Blackberry. A floral heart unfurls with a bouquet of Rose, Peony, soft Muguet, Italian Honeysuckle, Pink Jasmine and Passionflower. Base notes of Glowing Amber, Cashmeran, Amaro Liquor, Sandalwood and Indonesian Patchouli create a smoldering finish.Now, are you ready for a brand new day? We don’t need to got out; we don’t need to meet anyone; we don’t need to please anyone. You do you! And we are just as beautiful as we are. Good luck and love you guys! -

Lulu Did A Big Mural For Famous Joe’s Pizza at University of Michigan Ann Arbor

If you have ever lived in New York City, you would definitely know or even have tried from this world famous pizza store – Joe’s Pizza. The first time Joe’s Pizza’s name comes out to the world is from the movie of Spiderman. After a late delivery, Parker is sacked from his job delivering pizzas for Joe’s Pizza, 233 Bleecker Street at Carmine Street in the West Village, New York. Now Joe’s Pizza has five locations in New York, 2 locations in Shanghai and the latest one in Ann Arbor Michigan.

Established in 1975 by Joe Pozzuoli, who is originally from Naples, Italy, the birthplace of pizza, Joe’s Pizza is a “Greenwich Village institution” offering the classic New York slice for over 37 years. First, we served our customers from our corner location at Bleecker and Carmine Street and now three doors down at 7 Carmine Street. At 75 years of age, Joe Pozzuoli still owns and operates the restaurant.

Joe’s Pizza is a perennial top 10 listing in restaurant guides and publications such as Time Out New York and New York Magazine. NEW YORK MAGAZINE named JOE’S PIZZA “Best of New York” and in subsequent reviews referred to us as “the quintessential New York slice.” In 2009 GQ Magazine listed Joe’s Pizza as one the “Best 25 Pizzas on Earth.”

Throughout the years Joe’s Pizza in Greenwich Village has become just as popular with visitors and tourists as it is with native New Yorkers who know where to come for an authentic New York street slice.

After commissioned five times to draw all their New York locations by Joe’s Pizza, Lulu was invited to fly to Ann Arbor to do a whole wall mural for this latest opened store. She is so happy and honored to do this amazing commission. The photo above was a photo taken by Lulu – she is holding a slice of Caprise Pizza facing to the celebrity photo wall with her four custom Joe’s Pizza illustrations.
The mural is 16”x11” on a smooth dry wall on the hallway of the store. She used quick dry acrylic paints.




The mural tells a storyline of Joe’s Pizza, from their first location at Bleecker Street to the second, which is Carmine Street, then 14th Street, Williamsburg to Broadway, Times Square and then the latest location at Ann Arbor. All the locations are arrowed by the name and the visual of Joe’s Pizza’s signature pizzas. It took four and half full days with 14 hours per day. Lulu says she loves Joe’s Pizza, it has been a great experience working with Joe’s Pizza. She feels warm and happy, Joe’s Pizza is more like a close friend or family than just a client to her. So she wants to do it good, try the best she can. And it turns out great, she is very happy about the finish work.


She said she could tell how popular this pizza store is in this campus neighborhood. From the store opens at 11am to 12am it closes, there is always a long line. Even in a cold windy snowy day, people still love to come here to grab a warm and crispy pizza – nothing is better than eating something warm and delicious in a freezing day. Lulu ate pizzas for 5 days during the working process, she never feels bored of that. She even said she would miss this delicious pizza when she left back to California. Ok, here comes a question to her. When Joe’s Pizza can bring the authentic Italian influenced New York pizza to Socal?

Be My Valentine at This February 14th

First thing when I wake up, wait a bit, I need to do a special makeup.

I used the GEN NUDE Eyeshadow Palette from the NEW bareMinerals Beauty of Nature Collection, as well as their GEN NUDE mineral-rich long-wearing blush for my Valentine’s Day makeup!

A sweet nice breakfast is necessary for a sweet day. I have the home-made banana muffin with Tahini for the dip, also adding some fruits with coconut whipped cream. This tahini is one of my favorite thing I can add to everything – for salad, pastries, or even my sandwiches. It is the Mighty Sesame Tahini Dressings in squeezable bottles.

Adding a Beetology drink is also a good idea to boost your nutrition and energy!

I wear a warm long knit dress with a red bag for this special day! Being pretty, as the same time keeping warm, this is how smart we are! Lucy Paris has a lot of stylish fashion choices for you for any your special event. The cute red bag is from Urban Originals, I like it because it is very comfortable to wear, also you can have all your needs in this small-look bag no problem.

A morning walk along the cove, I love the breathe and sunshine!

For lunch, I prepare this wild Alaskan salmon at home, with my cat as my date, why not? I enjoy his company.

Sitka Salmon Shares delivers premium, sustainable, wild Alaskan seafood from the fishermen directly to members’ doorsteps! Sitka Salmon Shares is built around a humble collective of committed fishermen that put quality first, handling fish one at a time, with respect and care. It’s their livelihood, afterall, and many of their fishermen have been using these highly selective, small-batch fishing methods for generations. Read on to know your fishermen—from how they got started, why they love life on the open water and why they are part of Sitka Salmon Shares. They also have a lot of recipes on their website!

Valentine’s Day afternoon, I would love to share my time with my bestie – Galentine at Valentine’s Day. I love this double happiness. We went to SOMI SOMI, a super cute yummy tayaki & soft serve ice cream store. What I wear is from Brooklyn Cloth, which is a leader in on-trend apparel that enables their customers to express individuality. They pull inspiration from across the globe, and in their backyard of New York City, to develop their bold collections. Brooklyn Cloth
stands out for its unique fabrics, eye-catching graphics, and must-have silhouettes. They observe trends that define today’s market to bring fresh, expressive collections to the table. 
Valentine’s celebration is always to be official at night. I chose to have cakes with Ryan at one of my favorite dessert spots in San Diego – Extraordinary Desserts.

See these beautiful cakes, I just can’t help myself to draw them on my paper!

There is always something else sweet waiting for me at Valentine’s Day! It is MarieBelle’s signature Ganache chocolate, which comes from New York’s famous Soho District. It is the world-renowned, luxurious bean-to-bar chocolate company, MarieBelle Chocolates.

Before sleep, I need to be relax, because I want to have a sweet dream to end this beautiful day. A hot bath helps. Don’t forget to drop a cute bath bomb into the bathtub. This beautiful crystal bath bomb is from Village Naturals Aromatherapy‘s bath and body collection.
I can say it is a full successful Valentine’s Day for me. And now I need to say good night!
