Etude House : Baby Skin Veiling Pact & Code B Cream Liner

Baby Skin Veiling Pact SPF 22

Moist Veiling Coverage for Baby Soft Skin.

Sheer powder coverage with moist sensation supplies SPF22, PA++, vitamin E and moisture for baby soft skin presentation.

Verdict:

First of all I absolutely love the smell of this gorgeous powder ! Smells like baby powder but not as strong, very subtle. The powder itself is very fine, almost to the same grade as mineral powder but you don't have to "buff" the powder into the skin as it adheres very well. As for color I got the #2 Natural Beige and I must say I was skeptical about the color before I purchased, I knew it was either going to be too dark or too light but not with this! I was extremely happy to have the powder nicely blend with my skin tone ( I wear beige neutral in everyday minerals). The powder is very light and I would say it is comparable to mineral makeup, I didn't feel like I had it on and it certainly didn't look like I had anything on! The compact itself is very pretty compared to the normal plain round ones available on western cosmetics. I really love taking this out of my purse because its a total eye catcher in pearly pink !

Overall I give this a 4.5 out of 5 simply because I would've loved it if the compact was bigger but what the hey?! Its almost perfect !

Code B Strong Eyes Cream Liner

Cream textured eyeliner supplies smooth, adhesion for long lasting smoky eyes. (Comes with Makeup Brush)

Verdict:

This is my first dable into the unknown.. I have never used cream or gel liner before, but I'm glad I stumbled upon this little gem! I got the liner in #01 Strong Black and I must say that it is the blackest eyeliner I have ever come across. Application was easy in terms of how smooth the eyeliner went but I had difficulty making a thin line and controlling my pressure on the brush. I was surprised at how soft the eyeliner was because it looked like it was hard but as soon as I dipped my brush into the jar I knew it would be best if I go softly next time! A little goes a long way with this product as it is very black and you wouldn't have to go over the line again to get that intensity sometimes hard to achieve with a pencil alone. I also love the little liner brush that comes with the liner but I hesitated to use it as it looked to nice to be used ! Both the liner and the brush come with a little keychain thingy that makes it easier to take with you and never get lost in your bag !

Overall I give this product a 5 out of 5. I couldn't find fault in it !!

Guess Who's Back?!

Okay I admit I have neglected my blog for a few months, but could you forgive me?? I have been extremely busy these past few months.. especially now I'm expecting baby #2 !!! I must admit this came as an unexpected suprise but hey? Who am I to question gods doing right? Anyway this pregnancy has left me feeling very exhausted ! I am always feeling like I'm being dragged by my weight and seriously I could barely get myself up some days. I hope I start feeling better once I hit my second trimester and all this sluggish feeling will leave me to enjoy my pregnancy !! Hopefully I would be able to put life back on my blog and start updating again real soon !!

OCM - Oil Cleansing Method

I have been looking for a natural and painless way to clean my pores..because lets face it mine is almost always clogged. I have very bad disgusting pores on my nose and over the years I have come to obsess about these little monsters that make my life that little bit harder. I usually squeeze the living daylights out of my nose. I know it sounds gross right? but I am actually addicted to doing this at least 3 times a week. This past week I have been plagued by annoying pimples across my forehead.. and my partner is coming down for a holiday ! So I've been jittery and anxious looking for ways to get rid of them before he comes down..and thats when I stumbled upon OCM. When I first read it I was skeptical.. I mean how can oil help an oily t-zone?! It seems that media and most everything we read say that any oil on your face will equal to pimples/blackheads/ whiteheads etc etc. but contrary to that the philosophy of OCM devotee's is that oil dissolves oil. simple right? This sounded pretty convincing to me so I decided to take the plunge and try OCM.. I will update you lovely ladies on my skins progress.

Anyway here's my before starting OCM pic.

As you can see I have 3 BIG pimples on my forehead.. I always get pimples when I am on contraceptive pills ! I hate them !! grrrr !!

Madame Madeline Haul

just a little haul from Madame Madeline !! will be updating soon !! xox

BF-Beauty Haul !!

I've been hit by the false eyelash craze recently because my BFF put a pair on me on my cousins bachelorette party and damn.. I must admit it looked lovely !! My aunties who were also at the party didn't recognize who I was !! LOL !! Anyway since that night I wanted to get my hands on a few pairs of eyelashes.. and stumbled upon (accidentaly!) BF-BEAUTY!! I love love this website !! They sell quality eyelashes in packs of 10 pairs or 3 pairs for such a cheap price !! I also adore their eyeshadow palettes !! such lovely colors and also very very pigmented !! I was quite suprised with the quality and the price !!

All nicely packaged in bubble wrap !!

The items I got !! I think it might take me a lifetime to get through these many eyelashes !!

How lovely are these?! They look so nice and natural !!

These eyelashes gave me a bridgette bardot ish kind of eyes !! I love it

My favorites !! The eyeshadow and blush palettes !! They cost $6.99US !! How cheap is that?! I also only payed $1.80 in postage.. and given that the items were from Hong Kong I received them in 10 days !!

How lovely are these colors?! The eyeshadows are so smooth and very pigmented. I know it looks glittery in the photos but I would describe it as a "shimmer" very pretty !!

Geo Angel Gray & Geo Tri Color Brown

Finally some pics of me wearing the contacts from HERE. Took me awhile to get used to inserting something into my eyeballs but as days go on and I "train" myself to get used to applying them it just gets easier !! I did use two different cameras for each pic so please bare with me !! hehehe

me wearing the geo tri color brown.
this definitely makes me look "western" though i think circle lenses don't work on me.. my eyes are still the same except the color. I did find these contacts uncomfortable to wear.. they blur my eyes and make me feel dizzy ! i think i will wear them for photo ops only !!

I love my geo angel gray !! They look so nice and are so comfortable I forgot I had them on !! I will probably order the purple and brown one next !! I love it !! Oh and the 2nd day after I successfuly applied contacts my right one "disappeared" after I closed my eyes for a second because my eyes were so watery.. I looked everywhere and eventually gave up because I though it must've fallen through the sink but guess where it was?! It was stuck under my eyelid and was folded and very hard to get out !! ewwww !! lols
