Perfect Pink Nails! 💅



Hello dollies!!
I already own a few pink nail polishes (Considering I'm a pink lover~) but I wanted to find the perfect girl pink for my cousin's baby shower.
I've been meaning to buy polishes from SINFUL COLORS, and I totally fell in love with this color.

This color is called Pink Forever (313) and to me, it is like this really cute "Barbie" pink, perfect for the shower.


The durability has been really good using a top coat and...what can I say? I'm in love with this color!


I decided to match this color with a nail polish from Kim Taylor to add a bit of sparkle to my nails. It is Princess Night (KT.95) and, I recieved this one as a Christmas gift.





I think they look really pretty together and both names kinda suit me...#Random! I know.

Makeup Haul!



Hello dollies!

I have a little makeup haul for you today. I know, I feel like I've making hauls too often but, there's a lot I wanna share! And when it comes to makeup, I get too excited, hehe.

Some of the products were gifts from Omma and I bought the others. I'll start with the gifts.

♥ NYX Eyebrow Pencil in Light Brown (EP01) the color is pefect for my ginger brows!
Check out my latest "How I do my "Carrot" brows" for more deets on this brow pencil.




♥ Beauty Paris Nail Polish "Party" I'm really looking forward to usit for the holiday season. It is a very pretty red color. This one is from Spain.


♥ Kim Taylor Nail Polish "Sangria" (KT.103) which is a super pretty strawberry-ish deep color.



Now, here is what I bought in the past few days:

♥ Maybelline New York Color Show Nail Polish "Vintage Leather" I really liked the color cuz I thought it'd be great for the fall season. It has a leather-ish finish, it's super matte but sadly the durability is NOT good. My nails chapped the same day I applied it, I had to put SO many coats to keep them decent.
More on this nail polish? Vintage Leather


♥ Revlon Color Bust Lip Gloss in "Sunbaked" (044) I'm not a gloss lover but I really liked the color and thought it would be good for the fall season. I've been more into natural colors for my everyday makeup lately so, yeah. Not loving it tho!






♥ CoverGirl lipstick "Sultry Sensuelle" (200) this lipstick and the lip gloss look pretty similar. I actually wear them together sometimes. The thing I didn't liked about this one is that it dries my lips SO much, even when I wear chapstick before applying it.





Not happy with this lipstick...

I don't buy Maybelline or CoverGirl that often and I gotta say I'm a little disappointed with what I bought... Oh well~

I should stop buying stuff for now...at least for me! Gotta focus on my Christmas gift shopping! Would you like to see a Christmas shopping haul?? Let me know!

Pistacho Nails



Hello everyone!
I can't remember the last time I wore nail polish~~~ I still love it but I guess since I don't have as much free time as I used to, thinking what to wear on my nails doesn't look too important now.
The last "green" nail polish I bought didn't made me 100% happy, it looked more like a yellow-ish neon color once it dried, and even though this one looks a little too similar to that last one, it has a much more subtle yellow tone to it.

It's Kim Taylor KT05 "Pistacho" and I loved it from the moment I saw it. I think it's a bright but pretty color for Spring. I also wanted a color I could wear along with my latest Missha nail polish "The Style Dazzling Nail Polish" (A21M01)




So, this is what I'm currently wearing on my nails, nothing too elaborated. I usually like to apply a glittery polish on my ring fingers and use another color on the rest of my fingers. Nothing too complicated.

I feel like I've finally found the perfect green color for my nails! Hehe.

Taking my choco-mint obsession to my nails



Hi loves!

Lately, I've been loving Kim Taylor Premium Nail Lacquer. I don't really know if it's a well known brand or not but they have a big collection of bright and fun colors to choose from. Their quality is pretty good too and they are super affordable.



Choco-mint has to be one of my favorite combinations ever, can't get enough of it! But I never thought I would find it on a nail polish too. I got all excited when I saw it, I liked it so much, i even got one for one of my friends/co-workers who is a nail polish lover like me.

It is called "Cookie Mint" (KT.35) and it's like having mint-chocolate ice cream on your nails. It looks yummy and creamy. It has little black thingies in it that give the illusion of having chocolate particles mixed with the minty color.





This one is Especial Edition and I think it is worth having if you are a choco mint lover like myself. Hehe.

Haul: Kiotis, Oriflame and nail polish




Hi dollies!
I feel like I've been buying a lot lately~! But I can't lie, I love trying new beauty products and makeup.


It's been a while since I last bought a nail polish, but the other day I was walking around the makeup department and I saw these cute little nail polish bottles with super duper cute colors. The one I got is called "Carnival" (KT.32) and it's a colorful mix of glitter. It makes me happy to look at it! Hehe.
The brand is called "Kim Taylor Premium Nail Lacquer" and honestly, I never heard of this one before but the durability of it has been great and there are so many beautiful colors to choose from. I definitely will buy more. This one is Limited Edition.





I'll move on to another brand I just discovered and started using, Kiotis. It is a Parisian brand from Stanhome, part of Yves Rocher. One of my co-workers is selling them. I works like Avon, you check their catalogue and order from them. Prices are alright I guess, it is more expensive than Avon though.
Here is what I got from them and how I like them so far.

♥ Kiotis Paris Pavan'Elle Specific Intensive Facial Treatment (Wow! long name!) this is a kind of serum that helps your skin to regain its youthful. This product improves skin's firmness and reduces expression lines, especially in forehead and eye area. I've heard and read that once you reach your 20 somethings it's good to start preventing wrinkles, easier to prevent than make them fade. So I decided to try this one. I've seen a slight difference on my forehead area and my skin feels great after using it at night. I got it way cheaper than its actual price, and I'm glad I did cuz this one is kind of expensive. It absorbs into the skin super fast and it contains 10ml but you only need 2 or 3 drops. I'm still trying to figure out the best product to keep my skin looking and feeling young~ kkk




♥ Kiotis Colors Liquid Eyeliner in "Pearly Silver" (MAJ01) I was kinda unsure of how it'll look on me since I'm used to use white or a pearl-ish eyeliner to highlight my eyes. But I have to say I really liked this one, the silver is not as strong as I thought it'd be but it still looks kinda pigmented. It dries super fast so you have to work with it well...fast! Once it dries it stay like that until you remove your makeup. Other than that, it is very long lasting and it adds a cute pop-up to my eyes.





♥ Kiotis Colors Brow Pencil "Coffee". I've been experimenting with my brows lately using different products. I started with some eyeshadow, then a wax eyeliner (which I didn't like), then back to the eyeshadow and now this brow pencil. The color is slightly lighter than my brows at the moment so it works pretty well. Something I liked about it is it comes with a sponge to blend the color into your brows and make it look softer. I've been liking it so far.

And last but no least is the Oriflame Lip Impact Crayon. At first I didn't liked Oriflame because I had a bad experience buying lipsticks before, I got totally different colors than what I asked for, I didn't liked them and I had to pay for them~~~ Not happy. But this time I bought it with a totally different person (my co-worker) and I'm happy with my crayon! The one I got is the "Striking Rose" and it's a super pigmented hot pink. I am a bit of a mess using bright colors like thisone so it's been a little hard to use because it is very long lasting so if  I apply it wrongly I'll have a clown looking lips for a long, long time! I've been trying different styles to use this one and I think I can control it a little better now. The color is super pretty and it smells like grapes! Hehee. For those who are not familiar with Oriflame, here is some info  ←





That is it for now! I'm sorry if my posts are longer than usual lately! I guess I have a lot to say~!

Until next time!
