Asian Cosmetics

I FINALLY got my hands on some dolly wink products which I LOVE cuz of the packaging. It's soo cute! =) I purchased the brown pencil eyeliner, the eyeshadow quad in 01 brown, & My beauty diaries masks pack. The boyfriend bought me the Skin 79 Triple Function B.B cream and the dolly wink liquid eyeliner. <3

I already tried all the products and I'm obsessed with the dolly wink eyeliner! It was the only liquid eyeliner that has lasted on my oily eyelids without any smudges! FREAKING LUBBERZ! <3 lol I've tried many different liquid and gel liners and they all end up smudging on my eyelid fold because I have monolids and it drives me nuts, makes me look like i have a black eye with my eyeliner on my water line running too. lol i haven't found an eyeliner that lasts on my water line yet though.. the dolly wink pencil smudges a bit but not as bad as other eyeliners, so not bad. I'll do a comparison post one day.

Loves the eyeshadows too because it's pretty colors and pigmented and of course cute packaging! eeps! <3 I always appreciate the cute details on the packages because when I like whip it out, it's like OHH CUTE packaging and i'm like I know rightttt? ^___^ haha i'm such a dork. but yeh. I love everything I have purchased so far and will do reviews on them in more detail later. Thanks for reading!

New China Glaze Crackle

I was so excited to try the china glaze crackle becuz it has so many different colors which drew me into it compared to the opi shatter where they only had black. I got it at my local Sally's beauty supplies and the one near my house were really almost sold out of it. =( I only got my hands on the dark purple one called "Fault Line" It's really pretty but i had my heart set on the mint green color. so sad they didnt have it. sob! I might try other sally's beauty supplies stores to see if they have other colors. I'm determined to get the mint green one! lol overall, I thought it was pretty cool! I liked how it shattered instantly and the color is so pretty. =) I added glitter on top of the shatter nail polish and it looks gorgeous!

Here is what it looks like on my nails. I put it over China Glaze "Light as air"

It looks like imma claw someone. lol iono why i posed my fingers like that. XD

Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation Review

My thoughts about the MAC foundation I bought was that it was not for me. The best thing about this foundation is that it had REALLY good coverage and it matched my skin tone really well! It made me skin look amazing, but I just didn't like the smell of it and when I put it on my skin, I felt itchy right away. Then afterwards I started getting small breakouts. I guess for me it didn't react well as I hoped... =( My skin type is combination where my T-Zone is very oily but my cheeks and around the nose is very dry. I ended up returning it to MAC and they were very nice and the refund transaction was smooth. They accepted it with no problem. Overall, I was so sad that it didnt work well with my skin.. I was hoping it would! lol but it's okay. Time to go hunt for a new foundation for me. =)

Shopping!

Shopping is a stress reliever for me. lol It's so bad. I spent time with my BFF that I have not hung out with in so long! I missed her. =( but anyways we went shopping and I got so many cute things!

First...

I finally got my hands on some MAC cosmetics. I've always wanted to try it, so I bought myself the studio fix fluid foundation in NC30 and Woodwinked. I really like the coverage of the foundation so much, but i'm so worried it might break me out cuz alot of people broke out from it. Everytime I apply it my face feels a bit itch shortly after, but i haven't really broken out that bad. I might continue to use it a little more and see. I love my woodwinked eyeshadow. It's amazing and so pretty! I love the golden sheen it gives to my eyelids! I can't wait to go back and get more eyeshadows. I'm also going to get myself a lipstick as well and blush or gloss. I haven't decided yet. =)

Went to Charlotte Russe and got these really cute rings!..

they remodeled the whole place and have new stuff and i just love that store so much! they definitely made their clothes and accessories much cuter! They have so many bows and i love bows hence why I got the gold bow connector ring. It's so adorable! me and BFF both got the wing ring together. =) I love it.

I also went to forever21 and got the cutest jacket and the color is magenta as well a cute striped shirt with bow details in the back. Very adorable and unique. Wearing them together matches very well. =)


I also purchased some small beauty products =)...

NYC Nailpolishes: Starry Silver Glitter, Manhattan, Canal Street, Park Ave

I have Park Ave on my nails at the moment. I really like it a lot!



New Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in "Orchid", Revlon Colorstay Pencil Eyeliner in "Noir", Rimmel Soft Kohl pencil eyeliner in "pure white"

Oh! I also found a neat tip for rings. If you have a fake ring that makes your fingers green and gets discolored, all you have to do is take a top coat nailpolish and paint the ring area inside and out. Then let it dry and that is it! you could wear it now without it making your fingers green or discoloration! =) I hope it helped!

That's all! Thanks for reading^^

Ulta & Target Haul, Texas Souvenirs, & Nails!


I hung out with my friend today! Went to Ulta bought the things I wanted to try for the longest time such as the oscar brandi dry shampoo, garnier eye roller renewal which is suppose to help depuff and reduce eye circles and stila palette that was only $10! but I bought it as a gift for my friend. It's called fabulous in fiji. They are so cute. I want to collect all of them. lol Then went to target and found a new toner from Boots Organic. It looked promising because it had natural ingredients like rosemary and amazonian clay. It helps tighten pores and reduce oils which I desperately need cuz my pores are huge! bleh.. lol oh and i got another EOS lip balm. Everyone always asks me or thinks it's an egg when i use it. lol but i tell them it's a lip balm and they think it's so neat. =)


My friend got me cute little souvenirs from Texas. They are adorable. =) especially the little alamo figure. XD

Lastly, my nail art design for the week. lol


I cant wait to try out my new products that i got =) i hope they work for me!

Collective Make-up & Misc Haul =)

It's been awhile! :)

I've been into make-up so much lately! All I think about is wanting make-up. It's such an expensive addiction. lol but i've mostly stuck to drugstore make-up lately because they are just as good quality as high end. =) However, I'm trying to save my money for more high end make-up like NARS! I've been wanting to get NARS cosmetics for awhile and some mac cosmetics too. =) but I'm poor so i'm saving money. lol


I'm also into bows alot too. lol This bag was from Target for only $16.99. It was on clearance. I also got some jeggings for $13. yay for deals! <3


These necklaces are from my trip to Canada! They were from a store called Ardenes. They had a deal of buy 3 for $15.




I also got these from Canada! Rimmel Lash Accelerator, Rimmel's lipstick in "airy fairy" and Revlon's Colorburst lipstick in "soft nude". When I was in Canada I tried looking all over for the Lash Accelerator in many different stores and I ended up finding it at the brand new big WAL-Mart they just opened recently. lol


Swatches of Rimmel lipstick "Airy Fairy" (left) & Revlon lipstick "Soft Nude" (right) my favorite is the airy fairy so pretty on the lips!


I got two lipglosses. The loreal infalliable lip plumping lipgloss in "Plumped Plum" & the NYX mega shine lipgloss in "Sweetheart". I like the infallible lipgloss because it's the color of my lip but it makes my lip really glossy and pretty and it lasts long. The nyx lipgloss smells so yummy, but you have to have really smooth soft lips for the color to work on you. I tend to have chapped lips alot and when i put it on you could see the dryness. lol

Korean Face Masks! A wonderful Flickr friend sent me these to try. =)The Green Tea mask is suppose to make your face feel clean & clear. The Honey one is to keep your face moisturized and elastic. =)

I'm soo interested in asian make up! I've been wanting the asian drugstore cosmetics such as canmake, majolica majora, dolly wink, k-pallete, etc. ahh! I wish I lived near stores that sell these! I know in california there are stores that sell those products! I wish i lived in cali sometimes cuz of the great asian goodies they have over there. lol

Makeup Faves at the moment!

So lately I've been loving two makeup products! I use these products everyday and they are definitely a must have for me. I highly recommend these two who don't want to spend so much money on high end make up.

This first one I love is Maybelline "The Falsies" Mascara.

Although on youtube, I've seen a few makeup guru's not impressed with it, but I think it works wonders for me if you put it on right and I have really short stubby eyelashes!

Here is the difference it makes for me:

It made a huge difference for me and it looks like i do have falsies! XD

To apply them:

1) I used a mascara guard which helps protect your lids from the mascara and helps you get all the lashes close from the roots.

2) I put on another coat of the mascara without the mascara guard and as I put on the second coat I gently lifted my lashes up to make it look longer.

3) After I let it dry for a bit, I used my eyelash curler and curl them again lifting my eyelash curler up a little so it really opens up the lashes to make them up really long! You should do this a few times until you are satisfied on how it looks. =)

And thats all it takes! ^^


My second product i'm loving is the Maybelline "Dream Mousse Concealer" and my shade is in medium.

This stuff is amazing! The feeling of it is like whipped cream and it conceals my dark circles so well. It's better to apply with your fingers so it warms it up and gives you a more smooth finish. It's definitely buildable and it give you a really airbrushed finish. It doesn't leave you looking cakey or flakey either. I love it so much. It's one of the best concealers i ever used and it's cheap too! It was only $5 i believe..? It's a good alternative for MUFE concealers which are $30.

But yeh, thats what i wanted to share and I recommend these two cheap products!
