Review: Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio - 381B Sweet As Candy

Hi ♥ Hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. A while back I took advantage of Wet n Wild 40% off all cosmetics sale, I wanted to review the Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in  Sweet As Candy that I got around using. With the high expectation from using their eyeshadow trio in Silent Treatment, this Sweet As Candy trio looked quite promising when I picked it up at the store.

Spring Nail French Manicure

Hi there! What's on your nails lately? Recently I am in love with spring pastel shades. Today I came up with this very soft and beautiful french manicure with different pastel shades. It's a great option if you can't decide on just one color. It also gives you the fresh spring modern look as the colors are only on the tips. It simply can go with anything as this mani is very subtle and elegant, and it's also very work appropriate

Review: Sinful Colors Professional Nail Enamel - Flirting Nails

Hello everyone. Today I'd like to share my thoughts about 'Flirting Nails' nail polish  from Sinful Colors I got the other day at Rite Aid (my haul here). This is my very first Sinful Colors nail polish. I was drawn by the quality of the bottle/packaging as well as their diverse fun shades, I thought I might give it a try since it's also reasonably priced (regular price only $1.99, I'm sure there'll be sales sometime^^). As always, I was so interested in the neutral shades so I picked this one, Flirting Nails, with no expectation. Surprisingly, I loved this shade a lot that I kept them on for almost 5 days.

Review: Sephora Moonshadow Baked Palette - In The Nude

This has been my go to everyday palette ever since I got it from Sephora's friends & family sale back in November last year. (my hual here) Sephora came out with these moonshadow baked palettes in two different ranges, one In the Nude, which is the one I got here, and one In the Dark. I swatched in the nude palette in store and instantly fell in love with these gorgeous sparkles but didn't buy until f&f sale. These shades in the palette are either neutral or warm which best meet my needs and liking 

Moonshadow Baked Palette - In The Nude 

What it is: 
palette with a range of ten baked eye shadows in nude colors, each with a super sparkly finish. 

What it does:
This gorgeous collection of glittery baked eyeshadows includes ten sultry nude shades. Each delivers a cosmic amount of diamond dust shimmer. The compact features beautiful gold-laced artwork. 

This set contains 10 x 0.017 oz eyeshadows in:
Cream, Light Bronze, Soft Gold, Peach,  Taupe,
Silver, Deep Brown, Honey Brown, Deep Sienna, Plum 

What else you need to know:
Each formula features high payoff pigments and textures that blend easily. Its micro glitter adheres to the skin better than regular sized glitter. Used wet, the dark shades can be used as an eyeliner with an intensified, bolder effect. (Sephora)

front pkg - gold laced design, very pretty and chic, also very easy to clean

Rite Aid Haul

This week Rite Aid is having 40% off sale on Revlon face and eye cosmetics, all Wet n Wild cosmetics and all Almay eye cosmetics and makeup removers. I thought it's a good time to stock up my favorite Almay removers and try some new things^^



 Softsoap antibacterial hand soap. There're some Softsoap hand soap on sale for only 97 cents! but this one has "antibacterial, eliminates 99% of germs" on the packaging so I got this, gotta make sure everybody's hands are germs free when coming home from outside and throughout the day! I tried it last night, it was not harsh on the hands at all (surprised surprised!). It did not dry out my hands and the smell was soft and light. 



 Almay eye makeup remover pads. I have used so many of these already. It's the best drugstore eye makeup remover pads I have ever used (to remove long wear gel/creme eyeliners and waterproof mascaras!!), great for use at home and travel!



 Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in 381B Sweet as Candy. I still use Wet n Wild Color Icon eyeshadow trio in 335 Silent Treatment sometimes and I like it a lot, especially the light pink brow bone shade and the purple/silver taupe eyelid shade! So I wanted to try other shades from this line, but only shades that's in my comfort zones. I think  Sweet as Candy trio is a sweet ice cream shades that's great for spring and summer, plus... it's neutral!!! ha ha ha I can't wait to try them. (they're only $1.79 +tax after 40% off!)

 Sinful Colors nail polish in the shade Flirting Nails. This is my first Sinful Colors nail polish. This seems like an interesting and beautiful gold/nude shade and the quality of this gold is quite good, I thought it's worth trying. (regular price $1.99)

♥ Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner. I've heard so many good reviews about this one, many have said that this is compatible to MAC's Fluidline blacktrack so I wanted to try it myself since my MAC fluidline cream eyeliner is running low. ($2.39 + tax after 40% off)

Tutorial: Valentine's Day Nails #5: Harajuku Lovers Inspired Nail Art

Hello everyone! Today I have a very cute nail art to share with you. This nail art was inspired by my one and only Harajuku Lovers tote bag that I bought few years ago. The design was from Gwen Stefani from the Sugar collection, Carousel Girls for Harajuku Lovers.   It's a cotton canvas tote bag in soft white with pink stripes of girls riding various Carousel animals, with gray handles printed Harajuku Lovers and hearts, very very cute and girly. The color combination of pink, white and gray was probably one of the main reasons I  purchased this bag. I hope you enjoy this nail art :)
