★ Korean Style Make Up Tips

2012-01-27T11:00:00.000Z

So many helpful tips in the video. Esp for the single eye lidded trick was amazed how it still look ok!. Although the first girl did look a bit silly at first with all that mask on, good point though I hate eye-shadow fall outs!

I think imma gunna go get me one of those masks!

★ No 7 Fake Eyelashes Gift Set

2012-01-26T11:00:00.000Z

A pretty lil gift set from a good friend. Just what I needed, new lashes!.

This tool is amazing. Incredibly inept for putting on fake eyelashes since the normal typical tool to put eyelashes suck. Your hand will be in front of ur eye so u can't see in the mirror, or make it wonky. The forceps are thin for better precision too!

P.S look look! at my konad-ed thumb nail * konaded- made up word*

Pair of nice criss cross and fluttery ones.

This mirror made me fascinated for ages if ur put your face close enought u can see the side of lashes and front view. So perfect!

Came with this eyeshadow pallette but to be honest I was not fussed at all when I see it down to packaging.

But as you can see in swatch its quite decent. The colour are very build-able and not a lot of fall outs.

To describe the colours they mostly have a slight gold fleck sheen to it. They aren't highly pigmented but that is a good thing for more of a natural build of colour and less fall out I find. I especially love the white pearly colour at the end used for inner corner of the lids is very useful.

I believe this set was bought at Boots during the Christmas seasons. You may be able to try your luck. I did see 70 percent going a week ago. By the time I got there, the women already went crazy and hauled it all!

Happy Chinese New Year ♥

Sadly this year I couldn't be with all of my family, but it's OK I managed to visit them just before it.

I spent this CNY with my aunt and uncle only, we had a mini feast of our own :)

As a child I remember taking a bath with these leaves, if correct I think it is to wash away the bad things that happen in the year and start afresh.

I hope you all had a good Chinese New Year. Do you have any traditions that you follow during each Chinese new year?

★ Han Dynasty @ Manchester

I highly recommend this place. Almost like hot pot buffet. We paid £17.99 each for the fish and unlimited hot pot. Although price is quite steep, it did include the fish and lots of types of meat for the hot pot. Basically chose type of broth : chicken, mushroom or chilli and then go get your food your want. Dunk it in, sit and wait impatiently and then enjoy. Although staff don't speak good English they are pretty efficient. I'd defo come back again but this time maybe without the fish since it was really filling. Oh they even gave us chicken on the house :) bonus!.

Mind the whole wearing contact/glasses thing, this place steams up more than a kettle.

★ Body Shop Haul

2011-11-04T23:35:00.000Z

I was invited to a family and friend event for Body Shop, people were great so helpful although rushed off their feet.

Re-bought some of the shower gels, I just love the smells.

Spa Wisdom Africa Body Balm and cocoa butter stick so moisturizing and thick!

OMG this smells so good, although originally going for pomegranate or green tea sold out. I ended up with Jasmin and I am glad I did. It's not overpowering and smells like business massage bar from Lush melting away, which sadly is discontinued though. For all the people who know that smell and love this. GET THIS CANDLE!

★ Trending alert - Magnetic Nail Polish - Dupe alert.

2011-09-23T04:47:00.000+01:00

With people not being able to afford a lot of things due to credit crunch, recession blah blah depressing things.. Especially me being a student things that are on the no list are manicures and nail art, so I save like £20 per go doing my nails myself. Self teaching myself to do manicures at like 11/12 is time consuming to make it to the point of satisfying but to think I save so much money and still get the same compliments. Although I have never felt the need to have fake nails because my nails are pretty long and strong anyway.

Ok this year crackle polish has been the craze, with 17, w7 , Barry M being the cheaper dupes for O.P.I. Affordable is always a win everyone especially tight strapped students like me!. Get nice nails and do nail art yourself for cheaper.

Magnetic nail polish... heard of it?. Well Loreal was the first I heard about to do it. It is where you paint the polish on your nails waver the magnet on top and makes some nice designs.

*credits to ICEOMATIC's picture http://iceomaticsnails.blogspot.com/2010/10/magnetic-color-changing-nail-polish.html

Although from what I remember it was never sold in the UK, or I never found it. I remember it not being that cheap either online since not that many companies had done this type of thing.

Now nails inc has brought it out in house of Fraser, for the price of £16 not horribly overpriced. But could be a lil bit more affordable.

So here it goes affordable dupe:

17 isn't far behind all the trends. Get this only £5.99 that better than half price.

Win win situation!. Cheaper and 17 has more colours!.

★ Another BB cream for UK?!

2011-09-22T04:33:00.002+01:00

Une is a brand that I always pass by in Boots, although all be it one of the brands I never take notice of since as a high street brand it's tad on the expensive side and their white packaging isn't very eye catching.

Ok to be fair I have tried lots of BB creams all not matching my shade, all too LIGHT. Although I would just mix it into my foundation to use it. But the bad thing about that is that it feels heavy on my skin.

I use to get all excited about the rave of bb creams but realizing no colour is ever gunna suit me just made me think don't bother it's a waste of money.

BUT BAM! this is what I read and changes my mind about this product! :

"INTUITIVE TOUCH BB-CREAM FOUNDATION is available in six shades to suit ALL skin tones and comes in a handy compact with a Mirror and an integral brush for easy application."

Did you READ that.. SIX shades... ALL skin ones. Maybe this one is ftw for people who aren't fair skin!

*Credits to Superdrug

Makes it very impressive! its even 100% natural all sourced from natural origin, all be it only 10% organically farm. The fact that its not gunna chemically age and drag your face down with gravity makes it very appealing.It even improves the face in dullness, which is win for tired out students.

ONLY thing I can see negative about this is maybe price, The price is not published yet and for what it is I hope it won't be too expensive. As well another thing that is disappointing me is no SPF!! That is just such a downer even Garnier has spf 15.

You uk gals gunna try it?
