Apologies

I am sorry but I will no longer be updating this blog. Thank you for the comments and subscriptions.

[NOTD] - I dream a dream...

I am in love with pastel and bright colors, especially for the Spring and Summer! During a quick trip to Sephora, my eyes caught sight of this cute bright blue nail polish! It also helped that I love OPI formulas! Time for swatches and for a NOTD!

[NOTD] - A crewed interest

I am in love with Essie's Spring collection, though I can't really say that I love their formula. I bought a couple of their nail polishes and I find that its very streaky, thought it might be because the color is pastel and that is to blame. However, their colors are beautiful and I often find myself reaching for their polishes (just to look at the name or for a closer look) whenever I am at a drugstore. They are pretty expensive at $8 a pop but some of their colors are well worth it.

Quick update!

Recently I had another mini haul from Sephora and bought three new polishes. I've tried one at the Sephora store before at their nail station and fell in love. I received compliments as well!

[NOTD] - A shimmer in the dark

Yay for another blog post! :)

This was is a short one BUT I also have a video on the way so that counts for something right? Something simple yet beautiful! I've gotten tons of compliments for my nails and it was basically used with two polishes!

[REVIEW] - Barbie Eye Gossip Aqua

Sorry that it has been so long since I've last posted but I just got a job (YAY!). However, I have been taking pictures and recording some videos so I can have some things to work on when I do find the time! Without any further ado, here is a lens review!

I usually get my circle lens from honeycolor because they have most of the styles I like and they are pretty quick with their shipping. I haven't had any troubles with their shipping or their products so whenever I need new lens, I would head over for a quick shop. Recently, however, I wanted to try some new styles and have more options! I've always heard of Pinkyparadise but have never ordered from there, so I was a bit skeptical. Also, their prices a bit more expensive compared to honeycolor. So as a trial, I picked three styles that weren't available on honeycolor and decided to try out Pinkyparadise.

Unfortunately I can't comment on their shipping because I actually had it express shipped to me (I ran out of contact lens to wear) so I'm not sure which site is faster. Another unfortunate event was that I never got a shipping e-mail from them so I never knew that it shipped. I missed the first delivery time and had to check constantly for the second delivery from FedEx. I do have to say, however, that I love that I got different contact cases! When I ordered from honeycolor, they gave me 10 pig cases and it was hard to differentiate.

Overall, my experience with Pinkyparadise was pleasant and I don't mind re-ordering from their site if I want to try out some styles that honeycolor do not offer. Moving on from my opinions about the two sites, here is the lens review you've been waiting for!

Skincare Routine

Yay for new video update! I decided to make a video on my skincare routine because there are a lot of products I want to recommend and this was the easiest way for me to do that. My skin is combination oily and I am prone to blemishes and acne. It took a lot of trials and errors in selecting products! Hopefully this video would help anyone out there looking for new products.

Also keep in mind that everyone's skin is different. What might work for me might not work for you so be sure to ask for a sample of a product before you commit to buying or keep all receipts if you must return the product!

[NOTD] - Champagne!

I had a recent haul of nail polishes and I thought I'll show them off in a NOTD! I love the glitters that have recently been hitting the shelves. They're not all fine glitter, but more chunky and more texture! The different shapes also give it a nice effect as well. I am say to say that one of my favorite glitter nail polish from CoverGirl has croaked on me, but I did find a nice replacement! Essie's line of luxe effects are really cute! I almost couldn't help myself and bought all the shades.

[TUTORIAL] - Holiday inspired look

Yay! Another video! I am really trying my best on making videos and posting them since I just got the hang of the program. Also it is a lot easier than stopping every step of the way to take a picture and describing the step. I hope you enjoy this tutorial. Its a holiday inspired look with the colors red, gold, and green. I'm still working on the angles and lighting so bear with me while I work on making it perfect!

[REVIEW] Tokidoki Brush Sets!

Yay! Finally right? This is my first video ANYTHING so please let me know if I need to change the lighting or angle. Also constructive criticism is much welcome! This is a review of my tokidoki brush sets that I've gotten in a recent Sephora haul. Also let me know if you want me to write a post about the brush sets also!

 

Love and Kisses,

What to expect next?

So after a very long hiatus, I am very much alive by the way, I am ready to hop back on to my blog! This year has been the absolute worst for me. Besides graduating, nothing else has been working out for me. Everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong, and it has been a long journey. Hopefully with the new year coming along, things will pick up and fall into place!

I thought I'll start off this update with a look of what is to come! Though I haven't been updating as much as I wanted, I have been compiling photos and articles/notes of what I would like to post about. I even have a folder on my desktop labeled as such! So without much further ado, here is what to expect:

- Reviews on product hauls I have gotten during the hiatus
- Short video reviews (I got a tripod!)
- Make up tutorials
- Tips on how to survive the winter
- Holiday look ideas!

That is to name a few and as always, let me know if there are any comments or requests!

A small preview of what my next post will be?

[REVIEW] - Bobbi Brown Pot Rouges

Hello fellow glam-aholics!

I know I haven't updated in a REALLY long time, but I've been having a tough time in life. I've been going through ups and downs of life and have had difficulty getting up in the morning at times. I'm slowly getting better, however, with the help of friends and family. There are days when I want to sleep my life away and there are days when I can get through my daily routines.

Well, enough of depressing thoughts; here is a review of my collection of Bobbi Brown Pot Rouges for Lips and Cheeks!

SUMMER LOOK! - A swipe of color!

Summer is definitely the season where all bright colors are let loose and are unjudged (somewhat)! I love wearing bright colors in the summer because it is the time when I can wear less make up on my face, allowing for a natural tan to come through, and put bright colors everywhere else! However, for those who don't have much intention of whipping out the bright eyeshadows to contour and make a gradient of colors, there are other methods to create a bright summery look! How?

[LOTD] - Pink is in the eye of the beholder

Glam-aholics!

As I've mentioned in previous post, I love wearing my pink lens when I have a date or a gathering where my crush would be at; gives me a feel of extra oomph! In this LOTD, I was on my way to a gathering and, of course, I had to look my best! In this outfit, I didn't want to look too serious so my ripped dark wash jeans gave me an edge. I thought it'll give the feel of 'Little Miss Perfect with an edge'. Haha

[NOTD] - Elephantasticly lilacism!

Maybe it is the summer or the girl in me, but I am forever in love with bright pink and pastel purples! For the last couple of weeks, my toes have been a forever bright coral pink (They aren't all the same color). I just love how my toes look with the pink in its shiny lusciousness. While I do love doing my nails, I hate doing my toes. Mostly because pedicures take a long time for me to do properly and I rather be in a massage chair letting someone else do it for me haha. I am a bit of a lazybug.

[NOTD] - Pink and green, pink and green

Three post in one day?! My way of thanking fellow glam-aholics! :) So, I've actually done this design a while ago.. for my graduation! However, like I've mentioned, I am backlogged on posts and I most definitely am trying to play catch up.. thank god, I'm not like this with schoolwork!

Fashion Find! - Steve Madden wedges

Just like every other girl out there, I absolutely LOVE shoes! I love how a pair of simple shoes can spice up an outfit or even play it down; I also love how a person's personality can show through a pair of shoes. So the story behind this pair of most ADORABLE wedges is that my mom decided she wanted to go shopping at this outlet in Long Island. I never turn down shopping. Thus, came an adventure for my dad, my mom, and my younger sister. I, however, ended up barely buying anything (what a drag!) but just before we left... we went around Steven Madden. I was only simply looking over the pair of wedges and when there was a pair in my size on display, I tried it on for fun.. Everything that happened next was history. They looked so amazingly hot/sexy/adorable/cute that I had to get them! It was a bit hefty, $50, but I love wedges and I loved how summer-y they looked! Needless to say, after much groveling, I got them. It also helped that everyone in the store complimented how cute they look on me.

[REVIEW] - EOS Max Pure Pink

Tonight, I've spent a good amount of time fixing up most of the photos I've took over a period of time and I will do my best to write a decent amount of posts to make up for the short hiatus. It definitely helps when I get comments from fellow glam-aholics! Keeps me motivated and on course!! So in this post, before I begin anything, I want to thank everyone who took time out to write a comment - no matter how small - on my posts! I also want to give a shout out to a wonderful sorority sister of mine, Vicky. :) Thanks for encouraging me!

So without further ado, here is another review on my collection of circle lens!

[REVIEW] - GEO Princess Mimi Bambi Series Chocolate

Look! Another Circle Lens review! This is the last of the Princess Mimi Bambi Series that I have, I am currently missing the Almond lens. However, only these three (Chocolate, Green Apple, and Sesame Grey) have similar designs. Well, let's get started!

OOTD

I knowwwww, it has been so long! Especially after I said I was going to try and post more often.. I'm too lazy sometimes and I've been going out a lot at night; not goood! BUT, I've moved myself into a different environment and hopefully this will motivate me to post more!
