Valentine's Date Look, Outfit and Kiko's Proposal....We're Engaged!!! Pic Heavy

2012-02-16T20:10:00.000-08:00

Yes, you read it right. Kiko and I are finally engaged! A big Assssuuuusssss!!! He proposed to me on Valentine's day at the beach after our dinner date. It was the funniest and most romantic thing ever and totally didn't expect it. I'll tell you more about it at the end of this post. But first, I want to share my Valentine's makeup look I wore that night.

Valentine's day landed on a Tuesday, which is a work day, and the last thing I want to do is spend hours in front of my vanity doing my makeup. So, I turned to some of my makeup palettes for a quick inspiration. I know, for sure I didn't want anything complicated and too heavy. I want a simple, soft yet defined and pretty look. Using both of my Wet n Wild I Heart palette and Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette, I came up with gold and brown eye makeup with soft peachy pink cheeks and orangy coral lips.

GET THE LOOK

face:

I wanted my face to look flawless as possible. After moisturizer, I used Reviva Labs face primer and on my face. It helps the foundation apply smoother and last longer.
Using a damp Beauty Blender, I stippled MAC Studio Fix Fuid in NC42 evenly all over my face. The Beauty Blender is amazing. It provides the most beautiful foundation finish.
Almay EyeBase concealer in medium, which is close to my skin tone was used to conceal around the nose and blemishes.
Physicians Formula conceal rx physicians strength concealer in light which is 2 shades lighter than my skintone applied under the eyes and blended with the Beauty Blender. This gives a bright under eye look, kind'a like Kim Kardasian ^_^.

eyes:

I primed the eye lids with Urban Decay Primer Potion. It keeps the colors vibrant and prevent it from creasing.
Using Wet n Wild Color Icon I Heart Matte palette, I picked up a mix of matte soft brown and dark brown e/s and applied on the crease/above the crease and lower lash liner and matte white applied on the brow bone using ELF $1 blending brush.
Oraculum, a gold eye shadow from Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette was applied all over the lids and inner half of the lower lash line with ELF $1 shader brush. The gold is so pretty with a shimmery, almost metallic finish that gives a nice highlight on the lids.
Line the upper lash line and water line with Urban Decay 24/7 eye liner in zero. It's a great water proof eye liner that stays on for hours.

cheeks:

I wanted a natural flush on my cheeks, so I used Milani Mineral blush in Mai Tai, a peachy pink blush and applied it on my cheeks with a stippling brush. Using a stippling is great for blending and gives a nice natural finish.

lips:

Blistex lip balm all over the lips to keep it moisturized under the lipstick.
Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color in 24 Carrot Gold, an orangy-coral color with a semi-matte finish. I've used this lipstick too many times. I just love how it makes my face look fresh!

That's it for the makeup look. If you have any questions, let me know down the comment bar below. Now, onto our Valentine's dinner date and Kiko's proposal...gaaaahhhh. Kiko planned a dinner date on Valentine's day, which id a bit odd because we never go out on Valentine's day. We always celebrate days before or after to avoid crowded restaurants. And I usually do all the planning. But this time, he had planned everything weeks in advance. He took me to Chart House restaurant in Redondo Beach. It's a beautiful seafood restaurant right next to the beach.

For starters, complimentary bread, crackers and butter.

...and Lobster and Crab Spring rolls with sweet chili dipping sauce. What a nice appetizer. It's filled with chunky lobster, crab meat, lettuce and noodles. It's very refreshing and light.

For our entrees, Kiko ordered the Seafood Mixed Plate. It has grilled salmon with mustard sauce, shrimp scampi on toast, crab cake with yukon gold mashed potatoes and asparagus. I picked on his plate of course, and everything was delicious.I especially liked the crab cakes the most. It was all big chunks of crab meat. Yum!

I had Seared Mahi with Crab meat on top with a side of tomato orzo and asparagus and grilled tomato. The mahi was perfectly cooked, moist and flaky. Yum!

For dessert, we had chocolate lava cake. freskly baked chocolate cake with melted godiva chocolate inside with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and crushed toffee and peanuts. I'll let the photo speak for itself!

It was our first time dining here and we really liked it. The place was packed, but we still received great service. And the food was fresh and delicious. We will definitely come back.

Just when I thought it was over and we were about to go home, Kiko asked if we could walk on the beach. Why not? It's right next to the restaurant and I love walks on the beach because I find them so romantic. We can hold hands as we chat and make fun of each other. I also bugged him to take photos of my outfit like a thousand times because I'm never satisfied with how I look haha. Happens all the time!

Just in case you're wondering, I'm wearing:
-grey and black dress (San Pedro Wholesale mart)
-Mocha taupe crochet vest (San Pedro Wholesale mart)
-Ann Taylor black blazer
-black opaque tights
-Moda purple faux suede pumps (Downtown Fashion District)
-Ann Taylor leather purse.
-Ann Taylor layered necklace and bracelet
-Hello Kitty earrings

So he snapped more photos, and more photos. Then, as we walked closer to the water, he asked me to turn around so he can take a photo of the back of my outfit. Eh...not that great!

So I did (photo above). Then, I turned around and there he was, on his knees with a ring on his hand, confessed his love for me and asked me to marry him. (OMG, I still get a bit choked up whenever I talk about it.) Of course, I said YES!!!

We...CryXXooXoxoLaughXoooXooCryCryXXoXoXoOOXo
XoOxOXoLaughCryXoXoOoxXo
CryCryXooXoXoOoLaughXXoXoOCryCryXoXoLaughXoXo
for a good 15 minutes.

We're engaged...on Valentine's day!!! I'm so happy and excited. He said, he decided to propose on Valentine's day because it was 10 years ago when I wrote him that little Valentine message thing in the high school news paper that came out on Valentine's day. He said, if it wasn't for that message, we would have never been together.

To be honest, I never expected a ring. Well, I'm lying. Maybe I did imagine him proposing to me with ring lol. But even if he proposed without it, I'll be just as happy and excited. He doesn't have to have a ring to prove his love. Our 9 years relationship of love, patience (lots of it), respect, happiness, sacrifices and some hardship speaks louder more than anything else. I love you, my Kiko, my Baby Kos, Baby Kiks, Bebe and Baby Cakes. Now, I'm gonna bug you with wedding ideas haha...

I know, this post is way too long, but thank you for taking out of your day the to read my blog. I appreciate each and everyone of you. Also, thank you to those to greeted me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. A big *hugs and kisses* to you all!

Birchbox (Feb 12') ...Shu Uemura, Kiehl's, Juice Beauty and Eye Rock

2012-02-13T21:04:00.000-08:00

Just got my February Birchbox today. Since it's around Valentine's day, I was expecting red and pink wrapping with maybe some heart confetti. Instead, it came with silver and gold wrapping. I'm not complaining. It's just paper. But I kind'a wanted a Valentine themed Birchbox lol.

This month's Birchbox is about "Spotlight". It's all about focusing on yourself. Birchbox says, "This month's samples are designed to highlight your awesomeness - and maybe attract a little attention." Included are sample products that will help us improve some imperfections like dark spots, blemishes and even help us create the perfect cat eye liner.

Here's what I got...

Talk about getting attention, this designer eye liner tape by Eye Rock is freakin' interesting. Have u ever heard of such a thing? These are single-use stick-on eye liner tapes that will help you achieve the perfect cat eye. Really? I dunno, I'm a bit skeptical, but I'll see.

Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Serum. Oh my gosh, thank goodness for this sample. I need it bad! I'm excited to see if it works.

Kiehl's Clearly Correction Dark Spot Solution. I've never tried anything from Kieh's because it's too expensive, but I know that they have a great line of skin care. This product promises to correct dark spots and clarify skin tone and I believe it! Just kidding. I don't know if it works, but I'm just to excited to try it.

Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil. Gahh...I've heard about this amazing product before. It's supposed to keep hair stands soft and super shiny. I kind'a wished the sample was a little bigger.

EXTRA: Supersmile Powdered Mouthrinse. Ooohh...mouthwash on the go. Just add water and use. It's supposed to make your breath fresh and whiten the teeth as well.

Six free tunes from Green River Ordinance. I've never heard of them, but it's free music download, so why not!

All in all, I'm pretty pleased with this month's Birchbox. There's only one makeup related item, but there are great skin care samples that I'm so excited to use.

Did you get yours? Did we get the same things?

Birthday Surprise...Pink Balloons, Candles, Sushi and Heart Shaped Birthday Cake

2012-02-11T19:31:00.000-08:00

Before anything else, I would like to say thank you for all the birthday wishes on Facebook and Twitter. I did have a great birthday (Feb 7) and I could not have asked for more. Kiko made it so special and wonderful. He surprised me with pink balloons with funny captions, candles and the cutest heart shaped birthday cake. I love him!!!

A few days before, he asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday and I said, nothing! I honestly didn't feel like doing anything. I already had an early celebration with my friends at my pre-birthday dinner at our place on Friday and it was drizzling outside and I just wanted to stay in. But Kiko insisted that we do something. So, I asked if we could just order sushi to go, eat it at home and maybe have a movie marathon and cuddle lol. I know, it sounds a bit boring, but all I wanted to do was chill and relax ^_^.

When I opened the door, I found pink balloons gathered on the floor, a nice table set up with candles, cake, wine glasses and utensils perfectly wrapped in paper towel awwww... I didn't expect it. I was very surprised!

He wrote all the funny and silly things I say on the balloons lol. I couln't stop laughing when he read each ballon while mimicking how I say them.

Baked Salmon Roll and Red Dragon Roll

Eel and Avocado Roll and Philadelphia Roll

California Shrimp Tempura Roll and Califorina Roll

Chocolate Sponge Cake from King's Hawaiian restaurant
"Baby Ko" is our term of endearment. It just means my baby in Tagalog.

Thank you, Kiko for making my birthday so special. I love you and you will always be my baby kos!

Guess who's the new Wet n Wild Beauty Ambassador?

2012-02-11T15:41:00.000-08:00

I'm so excited to let you all know that Fergie, the international pop icon is the new Wet n Wild Beauty Ambassador. OMG, I'm so excited. I love, love Fergie ever since I saw her with the Black Eyed Peas "Where is the Love" music video back in 2000. She's gorgeous, her voice is amazing and I love her street-glamour style and personality. Wet n Wild definitely did a great job in picking her!

Wet n Wild says,
"Together, wet n wild® and Fergie will kick off a multi-year

worldwide campaign that empowers women to approach

beauty in a fearless, hip yet economically-savvy way. In

addition to promoting wet n wild products via promotional

materials, planograms and events which will feature Fergie,

the brand will introduce Fergie signature lines by wet n wild

exclusive collections that will be a reflection of the singer's

rock-star glam style."

It Feels like Summer Again!

2012-02-09T19:37:00.000-08:00

I'm wearing another denim jacket, just like my Laced Dress and Demin Jacket outfit. But this time it's a light medium wash with a short collar and it's over a pretty sun dress with colorful eccentric patterns. It's definitely something I would wear in the Summer, but since it's still Winter here, I had to wear a pair of dark grey leggings to keep my legs warm ^_^.

Again, everything you see in this outfit is from the San Pedro Wholesale District Mart. But you can easily find similar clothing at Forever 21.

I hope you like this outfit!

New Shades of Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Colors

2012-02-09T18:39:00.000-08:00

I'm drooling over the new Wet n Wild Mega Last lipsticks. 6 beautiful colors are added in the Mega Last Lip Color collection this 2012, all bright and fun and perfect for Spring and Summer. I tried my best to capture their true colors through my photos, but you really have to see them in person because you are going to fall in love like I do. Like what I said, these are all bright and bold, so if you're not into bright lips, you may want to skip it, or maybe this is the perfect time to be bold and try that bright coral, pink or red lips you've always been afraid of. They are only $1.99, a dollar off from the original retail price of $2.99, so you have nothing to lose?

I honestly can't decide which one is my favorite because they are all beautiful. But I'm leaning towards 24 Carrot Gold, a bright coral/orangy color because for some reason it makes my face look fresh!

What I like:

I'm not sure but I think they re formulated these lipsticks. They are much creamier than the past Mega Last lipsticks.
They are the same semi-matte and opaque lipsticks.
The names are on the tube!!! Before it was only on the plastic seal, now it's located on the bottom of the lipstick. I know it shouldn't matter, but this makes it so much easier for me as a blogger to determine their names when I do my "Face of the Day" looks or Makeup video tutorials.
The new colors are bright and fun. These will be perfect to wear during Spring and Summer!
They last a long time if I don't eat or drink, about 4 hours.
The $1.99 price. They are now super affordable than ever!

What I don't like:

The packaging. You know I've never been a fan of their Mega Last lipstick packaging. The product doesn't twist all the way down, so you are likely to nick it if you are not careful when you open and close. Just be careful. But hey, for the price and quality, I can look pass that.

A. Cherry Picking- A bright deep berry color with purple undertone.

B. Don't Blink Pink- A hot pink color.

C. Dollhouse Pink- Cool, pale Barbie pink with a hint of purple. A possible dupe for MAC lipstick in Snob? See how it looks on me HERE.

D. Pinkerbell- A medium rosy pink color.

E. 24 Carrot Gold- A coral/orangy color. Sew what it looks like on me HERE.

F. Purty Persimmon- A red orange color. A possible dupe for MAC lipstick in Morange?

It Feels Like Summer!

2012-02-07T21:28:00.000-08:00

Winter in Los Angeles is awesome! It's the beginning of February and it's about 70-80 degrees outside and oh boy, it does feel like Summer! We do get a little bit of rain from time to time, but for the most part, the weather has been warm and sunny. I'm still able to wear shorts, a light t-shirt and a pair of sandals. I love it!

That's why I was inspired to do this Summer makeup look. I wore it in my Super Bowl Lace and Denim outfit post. It's a fresh and pretty look with a pop of color on the upper lash line and a little bit on the lower lash line which adds a fun touch to the look.

The Summer colors I used are:

Gold eyeshadow- Gives a beautiful sheen on the lids, especially when light hits it.

Purple eye liner- It's a great pop of color to brighten up any look ( you can use any bright color you prefer).

Coral/Orangey lips- What's more Summer than a gorgeous coral lips. I'm using my new Wet n Wild Mega last lipstick in 24 Carrot Gold. Gaaahhh...It's such a beautiful coral/orange-y color. I've been wearing it for the past 3 days.

Wet n Wild Mega Last lipstick in 24 Carrot Gold
I will have a review, photos and swatches on the new Wet n Wild Mega Last lipsticks very soon.

Physicians Formula gel/cream liner in Hazel Eyes. Use the purple gel liner and apply a thick on the upper lash line with an angled liner brush. Apply on outer half of the lower lash line.
Set the liner with Underland (purple eyeshadow) from Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland eyeshadow palette using an angled liner brush. It will make the purple liner more bright and intense.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On eye pencil in Zero on the water line.

Cheeks:

Milani Mineral blush in Mai Tai dusted on the apple of the cheeks with a stippling brush and blend up to the temples in circular motion.

I will update later with photos of the makeup products I used.

I hope you like this look and thanks for stopping by!

Super Bowl Outfit: Lace and Denim

2012-02-05T22:04:00.000-08:00

I love denim jackets. They are one of my favorite things to wear because they are so easy to layer and match. I love to pair them with dresses, just like what I did with this outfit. I wore a laced tank top (yes, it's supposed to be a tank top, but it looks like a dress on my short body ^_^) with a demin jacket over it. It's very cute and casual . I also wore a pair of dark grey leggings underneath to keep my legs warm.

If you are wondering, the total cost of this whole outfit is $19, all from Downtown L.A. San Pedro Wholesale Mart. My Canon pink camera is the only expensive thing if you want to consider it as an accessory.

Just to remind everyone, you have 1 more day to enter my NYC New York Color Valentine's Giveaway!!!

Pre Birthday Dinner Look and Outfit

2012-02-05T12:48:00.000-08:00

My birthday is in a couple of days (Feb 7th) and it makes me cringe knowing I'm turning a year older OMG! I'm going to be 27 *screams*. Why is time going by so fast? I wish I can freeze time and stay young lol. Am I the only one who feels this way? Let me know in the comment bar below.

I hosted a pre-birthday dinner at my place on Friday. I cooked a delicious spaghetti and meat sauce dinner for my closest friends who are very dear to my heart. Kiko suggested we go to a restaurant instead so I don't have to cook and clean. But I didn't want to. I don't mind doing all the work even if it's my birthday because I love to cook and entertain. Besides, I didn't want to go to a restaurant and have my friends pay for food and drinks. I can feed them. I'll share my pre-birthday pics at the end of this post.

This is the look I wore. I did a subtle smoky brown and purple smoky eyes with cherry lips. I wore my Wet n Wild Mega Last lipstick in Cherry Picking. It's one of the newest shades in the Mega Last collection that just came out. It's a gorgeous vibrant cherry color with purple undertone. It's perfect for my medium skin tone!

See my haul HERE. Them, I wore a pair of dark grey tights underneath to keep my legs warm. I didn't bother to wear shoes since we were inside the house.

Pre Birthday Dinner Party photos...

I had pink table cloth and pink balloons. I love pink!

My homemade baked spaghetti and meat sauce. The secret to a good spaghetti sauce is to let it simmer on low heat for hours.

I also made some garlic parmesan bread rolls.

My best friend Mon got me big flan for my cake. Mmmm.....

With my very good girl friends Grace, Mon, and Lian.

We had so much fun eating and joking around with each other.

Super Affordable and Awesome False Lashes

2012-01-31T16:54:00.000-08:00

I've been using ES Fake Lashes ever since they were sent to me to try by KKCenterhk. ES carries a variety of gorgeous fake lashes from natural to dramatic and colorful ones too. You will definitely find something that suits you.

What I like:
-ES brand has so many products to choose from: false lashes, eyeshadow palettes, blush palettes and etc.
-There are 10 pairs of fake lashes in a set. That's a lot!
-Affordable. The lashes I tried are only under $10.
-They are made from plastic, so they are easier to clean and reuse.
-Easy to apply. The bands were thin and was easy to bend.
-They fit and look great. Trim to fit your eyes and use a good glue to apply.

What I don't like:
-Thee shipping takes awhile because the company is based in Asia. But the products are great, so it's worth the wait.

Here's what they sent me...

2012-01-30T21:26:00.000-08:00

If you've been a long time reader of my blog, then you should know that I love shopping at the L.A. Fashion District, especially at San Pedro Wholesale Mart. They have insane, super affordable and cute clothes!!! Click HERE to see what San Pedro Wholesale Mart looks like. It's only open to public on Saturdays as early as 7am to 11am.

Wet n Wild Color Icon 8 pan Eyeshadow palette in Petal Plusher is what I'm loving at the moment. I've said it before that I have thing for purples and this palette fulfills my purple eyeshadow cravings. It has 8 cool shades of purples, bluish-purples, plums and pinks with shimmery finish. All the colors are beautiful, pigmented and very easy to blend.

Wet n Wild says, (taken from their website)

"Eight dynamic, perfectly color-coordinated shades with high pigment and pearl for ultra-impact color. Shades can be used together or individually to create an endless variety of looks."

What I like:

The colors. Usually I prefer warm eyeshadows because those look best with my medium/tan skin tone, but the cool colors in this palette still looks great on me.
The shimmers in each shadow are not too over powering.
Labels are embossed on the shadows. It makes it easier for beginners to apply the shadows on the eyes. But of course you can mix and match and place the colors where ever you prefer. Just don't apply black on the brow bone lol.
It has a good black and dark plum shadow. They have some silver flecks on the swatches, but they're not visible once it's on your eyes, which makes them great for defining and contouring the eyes.
Texture. It's soft and silky and easy to apply.
They last a long time under a good primer.
Easy to blend. It was very easy to blend one color to another for a smooth transition.
It has less fallouts.
Very affordable. It's only $4.99!!!

What I don't like:

The packaging. It's not sturdy, so be careful and don't drop or else it will break.
The highlight color on the upper left side is a bit chalky. It requires a bit of blending to get a decent payoff.

It comes with a double ended and angled bush. I don't use it.

Swatches with a concealer underneath.

Here is the look I did using this palette. I love all the colors especially the lid color. It's like a plum old rose color with gold shimmers. It's so gorgeous! Click HERE for the complete look and tutorial.

Jenna Bra and Thong Set...Adore Me

2012-01-26T19:09:00.000-08:00

If you remember, I blogged about Adore Me, a lingerie monthly subscription service.They were kind enough to let me try one of their lingerie to review. How exciting! The set I picked is called Jenna, a gorgeous bright magenta lacy bra and thong set. Initially, I wanted a baby doll slip, but they were all sold out with my size. However, this set is sexy and gorgeous, so I'm still happy.

How it Works:

You take a short quiz to help the stylist find out a little bit of your personality and style.
Then their stylist will work on your showroom where they will recommend lingerie that you might like. They will send you an email once your showroom is ready.
Choose from their stylist picks and checkout.

What I like:

I like my lingerie showroom. Their stylist did a pretty good job in recommending lingerie that I might like. It was actually difficult for me to pick because everything looks so pretty.
The packaging is adorable. It came in a white box with Adore Me logo and the lingerie was nicely wrapped in pink and white tissues. This would be a perfect gift to your friends.
Great quality lingerie. The fabric is 85% Nylon and 15% Spandex. The fabric and lace feels soft yet sturdy at the same time. With proper wash, this will last for a long time.
They fit perfect and comfortable. My bra size is 34A and panty size is small. The bra provides a great support and hugs by breast just right.
I love the color. It's a bright fushcia. The color looks exactly how it is online.
There's a slight push up padding in the cups. Anything that gives my breast a little perk is great ^_^.
Super fast shipping. Free Shipping and Return. It came in 3 days!
Great customer service. I emailed them with some questions I had and they were quick to response.
Their price of $39.99 is affordable to me because I don't have to buy every month! Adore Me says, " You can buy ONLY when you fall in love with a piece in your showroom and need to snag it! After you place your first order with Adore Me, you are considered a member of our lingerie society. The next month, as you receive your monthly showroom, you can choose between purchasing an item or skipping this month and not buy anything."

What I don't like:

Popular lingerie quickly sold out with my size. I wasn't able to get my first choice, which was Natalie, a cute babydoll slip. I had to wait for the next collection to come out to pick another lingerie.
The bra doesn't look exactly the same online (Look at the photo below). It has a lace on the cleavage and the hook is at the front, while mine is a full cup with lace over it and the hook is at the back. I'm not really complaining since I got the set for free and the fit is awesome. However, I could imagine being upset if I did pay for it. But they do offer free exchange, so I can return and exchange it for something else, which I'm not going to do.

Here are more photos of the set.

Even though I was sent a sort of different bra, I still see myself ordering from them in the future. They have a great selection of lingerie, the quality is great, they fit me perfectly and the shipping is super fast. I just hope they have more sizes available for my small boobies ^_^.

Have you tried Adore Me before? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Purple Petal Plusher Look

2012-01-25T18:24:00.000-08:00

I'm so excited to share this look with you. It's dramatic, smoky and purple!!! I have thing for the color purple at the moment, and I don't know why. I'm obsessed with my purple sequined boots, cardigan, camis, and eyeshadows. So, when I saw all the gorgeous purples in the Wet n Wild Color Icon Palette in Petal Plusher, I couldn't help but do a look. Also, I like to point out the color I used on my lids. It's like a purple plumy old rose color with a gold sheen to it. It's just so pretty!

I hope you like this look and let me know if you decide to recreate it. Oh, and if the bright pink lips is too much for you, you can use for a natural nude lip color instead.

For my eyes, I used Wet n Wild Color Icon 8-pan Eyeshadow Palette in Petal Plusher ($4.99 at your local drugstores). It's my first time using it and it's so awesome. I already love it just as much as the other Wet n Wild 8-pan palettes. It has gorgeous shades of purples and pinks, all shimmery and pigmented colors. I can create endless looks with this palette! The colors are also easy to apply, blend and I noticed it has less fallouts, which I was very pleased.

Wet n Wild Mega Last lipstick in Dollhouse Pink. It's a new shade in the Mega Last collection. It's a bright barbie pink with purple undertone. It goes well with the dramatic purple eye makeup. Isn't it a gorgeous color?

Products used:

face:

-MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC42

-Stila Perfecting concealer

-MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural in Medium Deep

-NYX eye base in White

-Wet n Wild Color Icon 8-Pan Eyeshadow Palette in Petal Plusher

Wet n Wild Juicy Lip Balms...Cheery, Raspberry, Watermelon and Strawberry

2012-01-23T19:35:00.000-08:00

Before anything else, thank you to those who commented on my Wet n Wild 2012 Collection post. It's nice to know everyone is just as excited as I am with the collection. With that said, here is a review of Wet n Wild Juicy Lip Balms. These new and improved lip balms came out around July of 2011 and they are here to stay.

Wet n Wild says: (taken from Wet n Wild Press Release)

Good enough to eat! These delectably juicy lip balms keep lips moisturized all day, while protecting that pout from harmful UVB rays with SPF 15. The four mouthwatering flavors are enriched with avocado oil, vitamin E and natural marine extract for continuous moisture.

What I like:

The delicious fruity scent. I can't get enough of them. My favorite is Watermelon!
They are tinted. It's a nice surprise to see a hint of color it gives the lips. I have very pigmented lips and can still see a hint of color (except for the watermelon).
SPF 15. Anything with sunscreen is always good!
The smooth and silky texture.
You get a lot of product.
Affordable, only $2.99!

What I don't like:

They are moisturizing on my lips, but not as long as I want them to be. I find myself having to re-apply after 2 hours.
The packaging. It's fun and colorful, but the product doesn't twist all the way down. You have to be very careful when you open or close the cap, so you won't nick the product.

Cherry, Raspberry, Watermelon and Strawberry

Swatches on my arm without flash

Swatches on my arm with flash.

These are fun, everyday lip balms. I love the fruity scent and the fun color. However, if you're in need of intense moisture, I suggest using a more medicated lip balm instead.

price: $2.99

availability: CVS Pharmacy

Have you tried these Juicy Lip Balms? I would love to hear your thoughts.

MyGlam Bag #2 Jan 2012...Wen, Sheer Cover, Freeman, The Balm Cosmetics

2012-01-19T18:51:00.000-08:00

My 2nd MyGlam Bag is here!!! I'm so excited to share what's in it. Last month's MyGlam bag was so awesome, I couldn't wait for the second one to come. And now it's here and I'm soooo happy with everything I got. 2 full size products and 2 decent sized sample are included. I can't believe I only paid $10! To learn more about MyGlam, click HERE.

This month's MyGlam Bag is all about natural and eco-friendly products, so that explains the green MyGlam logo. This is really great because anything that will help the environment, even if it's just something little like using organic beauty products will make a difference. Also, I'm not big on eco-friendly products, so this is a great introduction to these kinds of products I've never tried before.

Here's what I got...

It came in a metallic pink bubble package, and it's tightly sealed.

Awww...How pretty is Michelle Phan, the founder of MyGlam.

Product List

It's such a cute makeup bag. I love it!

Sheer Cover Duo Concealer. It's been a long time since I've seen this concealer. It's actually my very first concealer ever. I ordered it back in college on an early morning informercial haha. I don't even remember if I liked it or not. I probably was using it the wrong way haha...

Wen Cleansing Conditioner. Finally, I've been wanting to try this. I've heard so many great things about it.

A full size Freeman Facial Peel-Off Mask Cucumber. I'm a sucker for cucumbers. I can't wait to try it!

The Balm Cosmetics Hot Ticket Polish. A gorgeous shimmery silver color!

I'm so happy with this month's MyGlam Bag. I encourage everyone to sign up. It's only $10 a month. Or try it for atleast one month. You have nothing to lose!

Birchbox January 2012...Stila, Origins, Juicy Couture, VMV Hypoallergenics

2012-01-17T18:11:00.000-08:00

I was so excited when the post man dropped off some packages today. One of them is my Birchbox and I'm so excited to see what's in it. It's the new year, and I'm giving Birchbox another chance. You may know that I haven't been too pleased with past Birchboxes, but I still continue to subscribe because it's affordable and I do like most of the samples I get. Well, this month's Birchbox is definitely better and I couldn't be more happier!

Here's what I got...

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy

I think I received something similar from last year's Birchbox, but I'm not sure.

Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Cleanser

I'm excited to try this out. It's supposed to alleviate both oily spots and dry patches at the same time!

full size Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner

I'm a sucker for a good eye liner, and I know Stila makes one of the best eye liners.

VMV Hypoallergenics Re-Everything: Face-Hand-Body Lotion

Yes, you read it right! A lotion for face, hand and body to simplify your skincare routine. I can't wait to try it out :)

EXTRA: LARABAR Mini Bar Chocolate Chip Brownie

It's a delicious piece brownie. It's chocolaty and fudgy with tons of nuts and dried fruits. I'm sad because Kiko dropped half of it in the kitchen sink.

EXTRA: Birchbox Magnet

I placed it on my fridge as a reminder! ^_^

Did you get your Birchbox this month? What are your thoughts.?

Angelina Jolie-Golden Globes 2012 Inspired Makeup

2012-01-17T14:40:00.000-08:00

The only reason why I watch the Golden Globe Awards is to see celebrities show case their red carpet makeup and gown. There are many favorites of mine this year, but one particular look that I really like is Angelina Jolie. She looks classy, glamorous and sophisticated in a Versace cream satin gown. And her makeup was just perfect. I love the minimal eye makeup with hot red lips.

I re-created her look using great and affordable Wet n Wild makeup. I hope you guys like it.

Image Source: Celebutopia

For the eyes, I used Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow palette in Greed. It's my first time using it and I love is as much as my other Wet n Wild eyeshadows. The colors are vibrant, pigmented and very easy to blend and it's very affordable, only less than $5.

For lips, I used Wet n Wild Mega Last lipstick in Red Velvet. I've blogged about how much I love this lipstick. It's a gorgeous cherry red color. It's rich, opaque and non drying.

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiner in Hazel Eyes and Glam Hazel Eyes

2012-01-14T17:24:00.000-08:00

This product has been out for a long time, and if I'm not mistaken, it might be discontinued very soon (don't quote me on it though). I bought it on clearance at my local CVS, so I'm not even sure if they will re-stock. But you can still buy them online and other beauty stores like Ulta. That's why I still want to share this review because it is such an awesome cream liner. The colors are beautiful, it last for a long time and it's so affordable!

Physicians Formula says, (taken from it's website)

Three custom shades provide a glamorous look to define and enhance your eye color.

Unique gel cream formula glides-on effortlessly and smoothly while providing the definition of a liquid eyeliner.

Long-wearing, water-resistant and smudge-resistant formula provides 24-Hour definition.

Includes Pro-Eyeliner Brush for effortless and precise application.

Stackable eyeliner pots can be pulled apart for individual use on-the-go.

What I like:

It comes in 3 shades: natural, playful and dramatic. You can mix and match, use it by itself or as a base underneath eyeshadows.
Easy to store. The colors snap together, so you can stack them up for easy storage.
Pigmented. The color pay off is great.
Creamy. I find it creamier than other gel liners I've tried.
Long lasting, but easy to remove. I tried rubbing it off and it's still there!
The brush. It enables me to create a precise thick or thin line.
Some colors have subtle sparkles. It just adds more personality to the colors.
Very affordable. It retails for $10.99, but it's on clearance for 75% off at CVS.

What I don't like:

One color took 3 swipes to get a solid line. It's not really a big deal, but if I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to go over the liner over and over again. I'll explain more when I show you the swatches.

I bought 2 in Hazel Eyes and Glam Hazel Eyes. They are meant to enhance hazel eyes, but of course it looks good with any eye color too.

Hazel Eyes

Consist of a Brownish Taupe, Purple and Black, all with subtle shimmers.

Swatches
I love the subtle shimmers. It's not too much, which makes it very wearable for day time.

Here's what it looks like on my eye. Purple and Black on the upper lash line and Browish Taupe on the water line and lower lash line. I'm loving the purple!!!

Glam Hazel Eyes
It consist of Gold, Taupe-ish Purple and Black, all with subtle shimmers.

Swatches
The one in the middle, taupe-ish purple is the only one that took 3 swipes to get the color to show. So, I wouldn't use it as a liner. Instead, I would use it as an eyeshadow or color base.

Here's what it looks like on my eye. I used the Gold and Taupe-ish purple on the lid and Black to line my entire eye.

If you can still get your hands on these, I highly recommend that you do so. It's an awesome product. You get 3 colors that are pigmented and long lasting!

Shit Girls Say

2012-01-14T14:47:00.000-08:00

Have you seen the Shit Girls Say videos that's going viral on youtube? There's really no point to it. It just shows what girls say and do on an everyday basis. And it cracks me up every time I watch it because it reminds me of myself and all the weird things I say. I also have to give credit to the actor. He does an amazing job acting like a girl haha...

Watch the video to see if you say these things too...

Here are some things that was said in the video that I say all the time.

1. Did I lock the door? Yes!
2. I kind'a want a hotdog. (I say it all the time when I'm hungry!)
3. Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
4. I'm kind'a like ughh
5. What's my password?
6. Does this taste funny to you?
7. Try some.
8. So good right?
9. Can you open this for me?
10. I can't believe I ate all that.
11. Are you near a computer?
12. Is that a Mojito? *screaming*

And check out my girl April of AprilAthena7 on youtube. She did a video about Shit Beauty Gurus Say. It's way too funny. You have to watch it!
