Just wanted to do a quick FOTD (Face of the Day)! Really quick and simple eye look:

Here's a list of the products I used:

CVS Haul 11/11/11

Happy 11.11.11 :)

So this morning I received a coupon through my e-mail for CVS: $4 off of a purchase of $20 or more! I decided to take advantage of it since I had a couple things I needed to buy and stock up on anyway. Here's what I got:

Here's a list of everything I got and mini-reviews!

CoverGirl LipPerfection in Delight Review & Swatches!

Ever since I started working, I found that I could experiment more with my lip color, rather than limiting myself to the muted or natural lip color when I'm at school. This meant... time to buy a new lipstick!!


So I went to Walgreens looking for a new lip color that won't be too bright but a color that will still add color to my lips. Since I already have CoverGirl's LipPerfection in Delish (beautiful peachy nude color), I knew that this formula was something I could count on and I was right! I've already gotten a bunch of compliments on it! 


This color really adds a nice sheen of pink infused with fuschia to your lips and it's really buildable. The first swipe on the lips actually more like wash of tinted gloss and then after swiping another time, the color really starts to pop. It's not too dark or too light and it really adds color to my face (I'm about a NC-35 or 40 in MAC foundation). It's pretty moisturizing but I always add a layer of either my EOS lipbalm or Nivea Milk&Honey on underneath to add even more moisture because I find that lipstick in general dries out my lips by the end of the day. Even when I wipe off the lipstick, it still leaves a hint of color, which shows it really does last all day! Yay for not having to reapply this every 5 seconds :)


Overall, I really have enjoyed this lipstick so far and I love how it doesn't settle into the cracks of my lips, but actually makes my lips look smooth and glossy.


Grade: B+

Baking/Nail Polish Party!

Sleepovers mean baking and nail polish parties :) These are pictures from last night:

 1. Freshly simmered raspberry jam teaspooned in the center of the muffin batter (which contains more freshly crushed raspberries!)

 2. Topped with freshly grated lemon and sugar!

 3. Straight out of the oven! Looks like an explosion of delicious raspberry muffin to me!

And nail design that I did for my friend! Hahahah she wanted a 1-up mushroom from Mario. Purple polish with gold and white dots!

My Eyeshadow Collection

So rather than writing my midterm paper for one of my English UD courses... Of course, I decide to waste time and lay out all of my eyeshadows for no apparent reason and just snap a picture of it. I don't even think this is all my eyeshadows hahaha but here it is! I don't know some of the names for them because I'm at work ooopss.

Here's a list of my eyeshadow collection!

NOTD for my roommate :)

While I'm at it, just decided to post a picture of my roommate's nails. I used China Glaze Recycle for her right hand and Milani white+Recycle for her left. The stripes were made using Milani's thin brush polishes.

In the picture, recycle looks way more grey then it does in person. In certain lighting, it looks grey with a tinttttt of green. So pretty.

I love stripes designs on nails. My fav :)

NOTD 5/21/11

Nails of the week :)

I used China Glaze IV and Milani's white to make the stripes and Color Club's silver nail art thin brush polish.
This is the first time I used IV and I reallyyy loved the application. Wasn't streaky at all and it's such a nice pinky coraly color. Seriously. Love.
