FOTD: My Current Everyday Makeup Look

This is a look I wore most often. It's a simple, cute, and fast to complete. Since I don't need a whole lot of coverage, I prefer to use BB Cream instead of foundation because it has SPF and adds benefits to the skin too! 

As for the eyes, I only added a bit of taupe eye shadows to enhance eyes in the eyelid and half way on bottom lash line. To give your eye an awaken look, apply mascara afterwards. I didn't line my eyes because it's a bit time consuming.  

To give my cheek a nice rosy glow, a blush is a must have item for a simple look. You want to look natural but not dull. 

Last but not least, finish the look with a rosy pink lip gloss!

Review: My Beauty Diary Chocolate Mask

 I don't think that I post any My Beauty Diary mask review yet. My Beauty Diary is a Taiwanese mask brand that is very popular in Asia. It's a sheet mask not mask that you need to rinse off after applying. The one I have is their Chocolate Mask. When I first saw this mask, I think I will fall in love with it because of the chocolate that's within the mask. It didn't fail me and I did end up loving it!

Review: Broadway Nail Dress Stick-On Wraps

 

 I have always wanted to try these nail wraps when it came out of the market because it looks so easy to apply to get great nail design. I am very happy when I received the Broadway Nail Wraps to try! As you may know, I am not the type of person who's good at doing nail art so these nail stickers with different design come in handy when I want to dress up my nails a bit.

Review: Barbie 2 Gray Circle Lens

 Remember my last review on the Neo Cosmo Violet Lens from E-CricleLens.com? I will be doing another review for them. If you don't remember who E-CircleLens.com is, I will tell you again.

They sells authentic KFDA approved circle lens. They are located in Seoul, Korea where circle lens are manufactured so it's all real. 

Review + Giveaway: Prefense Foaming Hand Sanitizer

Who doesn't want to be germ-free all the time? Do you? I know I want to be but there are just too much germs out there that we can't see with our naked eye. When there are times like this, a hand sanitizer is what we need. Hand sanitizer kills like 90+ percent of the germs when we use it. I always use it after I touch something dirty but the one I am using now always dries up my hand and I have to put on hand lotion afterward. 

If you don't want your hand to feel dry after hand sanitizing then the Prefense Foaming Hand Sanitizer is just right for you! 

Want to hear my thoughts and win one for yourself? Then be sure to stay tune! There will be a giveaway for this hand sanitizer for US Resident at the end of this post.

Blog Hops

I have not been doing much blog hopping lately. So here are some blog hop that you should definitely check out and meet some new bloggers! I will continue adding more tomorrow!

NOTD: LaRosa Crackle Shatter in Black Cat

 

Today's NOTD features the LaRosa Crackle Shatter in Black Cat on top of the Dr.'s Remedy Nail Polish in Tranquil Tangerine. I will be reviewing the Tranquil Tangerine in another post. I find that that formula for the LaRosa Crackle Shatter is much smoother than the China Glaze one or at least I like the brush better. 

I love that Black Cat! This nail combination looks like one I can do for Halloween because it reminds me of a Jack-o-Lantern.

I know I'm a bit slow in posting about crackle/shatter polish but I hope to try other colors in the future. The one I want to try most is the white crackle/shatter! Any good brand of a white crackle polish you would recommend?

Review: Wen Pomegranate Cleansing Conditioner

 

Ever had a problem with your shampoo damaging your hair? I know I do. That is because regular shampoo consists of harsh chemical such as sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates that can damage hair, our health, and the environment. 

WEN's founder Chaz Dean came up with a concept that cleanses hair without lathering and harsh chemical or detergent. It also strengthens, add sheen, luster, moisture and manageability to the hair.

The product being review is the WEN Pomegranate Cleansing Conditioner. Want to hear my thoughts?

FOTD：Tangerine Coral + New Haircut

 

 I can't really think of a name for this FOTD so I randomly came up with something out of my mind. 

Chantal Guillon Macarons

 

When I first saw the macaroon photo at my friends Facebook page, I immediately wanted to get my hands on them. I love sweets and macaroon is one of my favorite too. Chantal Guillon is the name of this macaroon and tea shop. I think its previous name was Paulette or something like that. It's located at Hayes Valley in San Francisco. It's a small shop so be sure not to drive pass it.

Want to see the macaroons that we bought?

Review: Nicole Lee Handbag P1711 (LERISSA)

 

Handbag is always a must have for a woman. I can't say I am super obsess with handbag as I am to scarf but I do have quite a lot of them at home. Nicole Lee Handbag is a brand I always came across while shopping at Ross or Marshall. The detailing of each bag is very unique causing me to stop by and look every time I seen one at the store. They offer lots of different chic and fashionable handbag at a very affordable price! 

I was sent the Lerissa Bag (P1711) in the color Bone to review. This is a leatherette bag with two main compartments and woven multi-colored stripes side panel.

June's Mini Trip to Jamestown, Sonora & Columbia State Park (Pics Heavy)

 

(Enjoying an ice cream on a hot day!)

I will try to catch up with posts more often when face start healing up those blemishes on my forehead. My diet has been horrible lately so stress keep building up and that may be the cause of those blemishes. 

Anyways, we went to these towns the same day we went to Lavender Hollow Farm. The three towns are about an hour drive from the lavender farm. It was really fun visiting historic sites but it was hot as hell during that day. I wish to visit more of these small towns to see the history of what once had happened.

I don't want to talk much since the pictures will show you Our adventures. Let's Go!

FOTD: Frosty Teal

 Today's FOTD features a frosty teal eye shadow from the ELF 100 Eyeshadows Palette. 

To make this a quick look, I only used one eyeshadow because I don't want to make it any more complicated. It's summer now so I think a bright shadow can brighten up your eyes a lot! As for the cheek, I added a light pink blush to achieve a cute blushed face. I used a coral pink lip gloss for my lips.
