FLORMAR Full Color Nail Enamel

The nail polish freak in me is back with some new babies to add to my collection!

Hi loves!! I want to show you the latest addition to my nail polish collection. My friend's mom was selling them and since my friend knows me and we are both a little obsessed with nail polishes, she decided to show them to me to see if I wanted one...well, I ended up buying  the 4 she showed me because yeah, they looked so cute all together, why not buying them all instead of having to pick just one?

The brand is called FLORMAR Professional Makeup and honestly, I am as new to them ans most of you are. So, I did my research! Hehe. They are an Italian beauty company that started their production in Turkey. They have makeup, accessories and skin care products.
I'll leave the link to their official site here, in case you want to check their products and learn more about them ~> www.flormar.com
I gotta say, I checked the other colors they have and they are absolutely beautiful! They have bright colors, dark colors, matte ones. There is a lot to pick from!

I won't get into quality and durability here cuz I haven't use them yet, but I'm really looking forward to try them and I'm sure I'll make some separate posts once I do.

Let's take a quick look at the ones I bought for now:

♥ Rose I Hold (FC04)
♥ Utopia Vacation (FC25)
♥ Imaginary World (FC16)
♥ Mystical Getaway (FC29)

I don't know which one I'll wear first but, I can't wait! I'm in love with the colors!!

Lassie'el Aloe Soothing Yogurt Massage Mask

Hi guys~! Remember me? haha.
I know I have been really MIA around here. Truth is, my blogging muse was taking a break. Not sure if it's completely back tho.
Anyways, I'm finally putting this post together and it was something I wanted to share with you for a couple of months now.

We all know how much I love a good Korean facemask, especially if it has aloe in it! The latest ones I've been trying have been from Lassie'el.

This is the Lassie'el Aloe Soothing Yogurt Massage Mask. The box came with 4 small separate packages of 12g and a small lid to cover the package you're using at the time. Which comes in very handy cuz each package lasts for over 4 applications so, yeah, it'a good way to keep the mask fresh and clean.

This mask contains Vitamin E -acetate, Aloe Extract, Olive Oil and Yogurt extract.
It claims to make it easier to lift your chin and cheeks, giving you a soothing and refreshing feeling to a dry and tired skin. You'll see the desire effect using it 2-3 times a week.
It is a:
* Wash off mask
* Softening and Refreshing

How to use:
Cleanse and dry face, apply facemask and massage evenly. After 5-10 minutes, rinse with warm water.

The smell of it is just SO GOOD! So fresh and it reminds me of those super yummy aloe waters I love. As you open the pouch you find this gel-ish type cream with a very nice light green color.

I've been using this mask for over a month now and even tho I don't see much of a lifting effect, I do feel and see a much softer and brighter skin after using it. I try to use it at least twice a week after exfoliating my skin.

What I like about it:
* The lid!! I love the fact that it comes with a lid! Brilliant idea! They look like mini tuppers!
* The smell!!
* How soft my skin feels after using it.
* The price was great, especially because each pouch lasts for more than one application.

What could be better:
I don't see any lifting effect.

I would definitely buy more of these again! I still have other Lassie'el products I want to try!

Hope to be back soon!

Heart-to-heart: Being let down/hurt by people + high expectations

It's been a while since the last time I wrote a H2H~

Well, hello guys! Today I want to write about something that could be a little different for everyone. (And that was on my heart-to-heart topics list for a while now) I guess it depends on how you see things. and it's not to tell you guys "how to deal with it" or "how to stop that from happening" because honestly, I don't even know how to do that.

The thing with me is that...I love too much! and when I love someone (call it friends, family, partner, etc) I am willing to do whatever it takes to help them or give them what they need, even if it means sacrificing my own interests. And I know, I know, that is not good, I'm actually trying to change that a little now and think a little more about me first...which doesn't seem to be working very well but, let's talk about that some other time.
So, because I am like that, sometimes I automatically feel like because I'd do it for them, they would do it for me. And that, is not always the case.
Sadly, I tend to have high expectations on people, even to idealize them;  which can lead to being let down easily. But hey, I don't feel let down because one day they can't meet me or because they didn't answered my message. I mean, that'd be stupid. Even tho I am a sensitive person and I can get hurt easily, I won't feel let down by someone forever over a simple, silly thing. I think it takes a lot to make me feel let down forever or at least in a really bad way.
And even if it happens, I've noticed that I try to fix things and try to make everything go back to normal for a while, even if the other person continues acting, or doing things that kinda push me away (if that makes any sense) or rejecting what I'm trying to do. I kinda want to fight for it until there is nothing left to do. Until then, I give up. But, during that process, I feel like I end up getting more hurt than if I just let things flow the way they have to. Cuz it is so hard for me to see that, that person I idealized so much, doesn't really care to let things go that way and because I know if I was the other person, I wouldn't want to let people down. At least not the people I love.

On the other hand, I know it is impossible to keep everyone happy. No matter how hard you try. I've tried for years and it's exhausting! And in the end, when some people don't need you in their lives anymore, they will just move on without thinking of how you felt about that.
I know we all make mistakes, starting with me! I can't count how many mistakes I've made throughout my life but in my case, I hate to do things that can hurt the ones I love.
And for me, it's not about the mistakes they make but more about the actions they have towards me.

I've noticed some people don't really care about other people letting them down, or at least, they seem to move on really easy! How do they do it? I want your secret guys!
Some people live by Forgive and let go but, do you realize how hard it actually is to really forgive someone who hurt you a lot? Just think about it. And I mean, I don't have too many people that hurt me like, a lot a lot but, it's still pretty hard to forgive and forget. Especially because letting go is something I'm still learning to do~ Cuz it's easier to hold on to memories that made us happy instead of trying to just move on from it.
I remember I was once asked If I ever fully forgiven someone and at that time I automatically answered "yes" but, now that I think about it carefully and from that time until now, I'm not sure if that "yes" was the truth.
Being let down, for me, if it comes from someone who is important to me is a big deal. Random people can talk and hurt me but, I won't feel let down by them because, they are not important to me. Yeah, I'll be sad or upset for a little while but then, I'll move on from it but, when someone I love hurts me, it'll stay there, if not for life, for a long time. (not good, I know but what to do? #Drama)

And I've been connecting "being let down" with "beign hurt" a lot in here, I wonder if they are actually the same or I'm connecting them because I feel one thing leads to the other...what do you guys think?
I don't know if I sticked to the title too much this time but yeah~
Anyways, I'd love to read your experiences and thougts on this. Have you been hurt by someone you love? How you deal with it?

Also, let me know what kind of Heart-to-hearts you'd like to read in the future! Let's share some thoughts in here because, sharing is caring!
Until next time!

Splat Headed! Pink Fetish Hair Dye (Harley Quinn Edition) + Thoughts

I had a romantic moment with the Joker a few days ago... We were at this abandoned house and he was taking care of a baby doll. I was ready to talk to him but suddenly, Michee, my cat jumped on me and woke me up~~~~ #SadButTrue

Hello my lovers!
Yeah, I'm still obsessed with Suicide Squad and if you remember, on my last Haul → Suicide Squad Mini Haul + Goodies I showed you guys 2 Splat hair dyes one in a green color and the othe one in pink. Soooo, last weekend I decided to go a little wild and dye random parts of my hair pink. I thought it'd be a good idea since I'm still on my Summer break...kinda.

So! Many years ago I remember I fell in love when I saw Jia from Miss A having this super pretty bubblegum pink hair in the Bad Girl, Good Girl video and I wanted to get something like that! Then I thought that wouldn't go too well with my role as a teacher...it'd look too crazy! And, I just let it go. But now that the chance to have something pink on my hair came around again (#ProudPinkLover) I decided to just go for it.

Jia's beautiful pink hair...this feels like those "expectations VS reality" thingies

Let's talk a little about the Hair dye and what it came with:
♦ The color is called "Fetish Pink"
♦ The kit came with a Lightening bleach, Splat Oxide in a mixing container and the pink color.
♦ They had other colors from the Suicide Squad Edition: Green, Purple, Blue and a box with both, pink and blue to dye your hair like Harley's.
♦ A Suicide Blonde mini comic (that was the main reason why I wanted it!)

How I dyed it:
Basically mixed the Lightening bleach with the oxide in the mixing container, took random hair locks and...bleached them, The bleaching process took forever!! then, washed my hair and waited to the next day to actually dye it.

As you can see, the inner locks look slightly lighter than the outer ones...it looks a little more pink in real life. Lighting wasn't helping much

Thoughts:
The color claimed to be long lasting and super bright. Truth is, it's not even as pink as it looked on the bottle. I know hair dyes are not always exactly like the picture on the box but, this one doesn't even look too pink. To me is more like a red/salmon-ish pink that washes off super easily. And considering my ginger color, my hair looks like a rainbow! Orange, strawberry blonde and salmon pink color.
Honestly I don't know if I love it, or even like it. Guess it takes time to get used to it, especially because I don't ever try things like this on my hair.
I'm not sure if I'll fix it and keep it like this for a while or just go back to my normal hair once the pink fades a little.

It's still an experience tho! I never go too crazy when it comes to my hair. It still doesn't feel like me, cuz it's something so new but, we'll see what happens!

And this is how far my obsession with Suicide Squad goes...

Life Update: I'm such a big child + Work + YouTube

Half of the year is already gone...all I can think about is...WOW. So fast!
Anyways, Hello everyone!! It is that time again, a little life update of the past few months.
Going back to June, I started the month with some stress at work. I'm sure that even if we love and adore our jobs, there is always something we don't like doing, right? Or is it just me?
Well, I'm happy to say that even tho I did felt stressed going through that stressful moments, I survived and I think I learnt to deal with my stress a lot better than other years. Kinda proud of that.

Grandpa went to Spain to visit my mom and Jose and I celebrated an other birthday. Honestly, this year I wasn't feeling to excited about it. Mainly because so many things have changed. And I gotta say it did felt different but, I feel so, so lucky to have the greatest people around me who made my birthday a very special birthday week. I had many separate celebrations and all of them made me so happy. Thank you, thank you!
As usual, I have some birthday posts ans videos I'll link in here in case you feel like checking it out.
Vlog: Birthday Food!
Blog and Video: The Joker's Brthday Game + Harley Quinn inspired look photos
Blog: Birthday Post + The Joer's Birthday Game
And well, as for aging and all that...I do feel a little different than how I felt last year, I'm not sure how to explain. I'm kind of creating my own world and making some plans for me. But somehow, I'm still the same! I'm such a big child and I'm not ready to quit that just yet. I'm having fun and I'm still loving what I've always enjoyed doing but at the same time I'm thinking about my future and stuff. I don't want to become a boring adult, I want to be able to balance both. Being "mature" doesn't mean being boring. #JustSaying.
Let's hold hands and sing "forever young" now... 

Also dad's birthday and Father's day happened. Too many celebrations in one month!! I wear all those made me eat like a crazy person. (these are the moments when I'm thankful for the workout!)
After so long i got the chance to meet Dad's girlfriend, Lulu. Is not like we didn't have any contact with her and stuff but, we never had the chance to personally meet. She's such a nice and creative lady. Hopefully we'll meet again! (forgot to mention she also loves animals! BIG YAY for that!)

Mom and grandpa came back form Spain! I'm happy to have the mommy around here again but, I also had a very busy week after they came back. The school year came to an end and it is madness! Lots of things to finish, rehearsals, early, starts, etc. This year was extra sweet because the parents of our kids decided to get extra involved and prepared small reunions and even a mass for them. They were so kind to invite us and make us part of those celebrations. Couldn't be more thankful for all the love they showed us.

And now I'm officially on my Summer break! Not many plans tho! I want to film a few things to share on my channel and I'm sure that'll keep me busy~ Speaking of which, don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel MonStar's Little Vlog for weekly updates of what goes on in my life. Thank you to those who are already subscribed! I love you a ton my little YT family!

This is it for now my lovers, hope you are enjoying a fun summer break!!
