Have you do Gua Sha Facial Massage? Last time was my first time use Gua Sha on my face. I'm still learning how to do right way. Let's me know if I do it right or wrong. Swipe to left to see my short video or you can see on my IG stories under 'self-care'. About & Benefits of Gua Sha: is a therapy that involves scraping your skin with a crystal/stone massage tool to improve your blood circulation. It's an ancient Chinese healing technique to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and relieve chronic pain. Can be use on body and face. Products shown: @Honeybelleshop Rose quartz gua sha: crystal facial massage tool. It helps skin look healthy and detoxifying. Improve dark circle, under-eye bags, anti aging, and toning skin. @honeybelleshop ELIXIR facial oil: hand-crafted with based of Cold Pressed Hemp Seed and Organic Oils. It improves and balances skin tone. It's all for skin types. The oil is super light herb/woody scent, but fading away. It's lightweight texture and not sticky/greasy. The oil absorbs well on my skin and feel plump. Love @honeybelleshop products because they're natural, organic, and clean ingredients. Their packaging are really catch my eye. Have you own any Gua sha? Let's me know what do you think about this facial tool. #honeybelle #honeybellebeauty #veganbeauty #veganskincare #beautyflatlay #jentdreamworld #abbeatthealgorithm #ABCOMMUNITY #vitaminoilserum #skincareaddict #guasha #facialoil #guashafacial

Lancôme Monsieur Big Voxbox

2017-07-17T14:35:00.003-07:00

Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara

I tried the Lancôme Cils Booster XL Super-Enhancing Mascara Base and Lancôme

Monsieur Big Mascara together. It makes my lashes look thicker, more volume, and length. I only need two coats and it already makes eye looks bigger. However the wand of mascara is too big for my small eyes and little & short lashes. Also, it clumps up my lashes. It's a little hard to work with it, but it's not a big problem.

Overall: the formula is good and hold up my lashes very well.

*I received the products from @influenster @lancomeofficial to testing purposes. All my opinions are my own.

Ciate - Very ColourFoil Manicure

2013-08-16T12:01:00.000-07:00

I bought an awesome Ciate Very Colourfoil Manicure kit when it's on sale. Ciate' has three different kits are Carnival Couture, Kaleidoscope Klash, and Wonderland. The kits, which are inspired by London Fashion Street Art. Since I have never tried foil nail art before, I would love to try it out. It's really easy to customize and apply the foil on the nail. First, I applied a nail base color and glue where the foil I wanted to stick on the nail. Last, I pressed the foil down and removed it quick motion.

A kit contains: a nail polish, glue, 6 different color foils, and nail wheel.

A cute pink evenlope to hold small square color foils

6 different metallics and luxe in different foil shades.

Nail polish: Carnival Couture

Foil Fix Glue

Nail Wheel

The back of the box is showing how to apply.

Applied two coasts. Nail polish is really dry fast. I really love this color. ^_^

It's so pretty with pink nail polish and added "Smash" metallic silver on the top.

added "Snog" and "Stamp"

added "Shout"

added "Sing"

Last, I added "Splash"

I guess it's little too much to put all 6 colors on the nails, but it was fun to play with it. Next time, I would apply two color foils only. This kit can be used at least 20 times.

Overall: This kit is really great customize my own nail design.

What do you guys think about this kit?

Overall: I'm really disappointed this box because I thought my box contains the Lise Watier products as they described for June box is "The weather’s getting hotter, and so should your makeup!

This is my first Julep Maven box. Before I purchased mystery box from Julep, I didn't like that much. I like this Feb Maven box better because at least I know what are colors inside the box. My favorite items in the box are Freedom Top Coat and Oxygen Nail Treatment.

This treatment can not use with other polish.

Freedom Topcoat is great topcoat. It's shine and keep my nail less chip.

Julep Eyelash curler

is extra and mystery item in the box. (It's great for carry in my purse)

In the back: flip handle down and pull it down to curl the eyelashes.

Julianne & Ingrid are might be great colors for Fall and Winter season

Julianne is Smoky grey blue cream color. The color seems dark on my nails.

I picked this Boho Glam box because this color, but =( a little disappointed.

Ingrid is Burnt Orange color. I applied one coat and it's dry really fast. I wish this color is little brighter. I saw the swatches online and it's not this dark.

So far, I'm still happy with the items that I got in the box. Specially the eyelash curler, Oxygen Nail Treatment, and Freedom Top coat.

Yes, I'm obsessed with this palette because the Aura and Illusion colors. The price is high, but eyeshadow individual is about $18 and a full-size High-Gloss lip color is $19. So this palette contains 6 full size eyeshadows, a travel-size Rockstar eye pencil, and a full size of The Super-Saturated High-Gloss Lip color in Glinda, I saved about half of the price for this palette.

Tornado: Dark rich purple shimmer

Aura: Duo shades. One is iridescent light pale violet-blue chrome and other half is iridescent light pink chrome. They're both my favorite eyeshadows so far. It's great to use as highlight and brighten on my eyes. They are great pigmentation.

Magic: lavender shimmer

Illusion: Champagne with warm golden undertones. It's great pigmentation.

OZ- Duo shades: one is metallic gold silver with a lot of glitter, and other half is metallic silver with glitter.

South: warm brown-gray shimmer

I love Josie Maran products since I'm been using Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 40 for a while. At that time, Sephora had a Josie Maran Morocca Bazaar Shimmer & Glow Argan Essentials set for great value (why not to get it before it sold out). =}. Therefore, I really wanted to try out the Tarte smooth Operator Micronized Clay finished Powder because I heard a great review about it. Also, I got mystery bag and Happy Birthday Sugar. Moreover, I saved up Beauty Insider points to get Benefit bag (500 pts). That's why I love to shop at Sephora...got free samples when I ordered online.

This is my absolute favorite product for everyday use.

It's not sticky or oily on my skin. Feel great and smooth after I apply it. I can not leave the house without this product. Because my skin is fair/light skin and sensitive, it's easy to get freckles if I do not apply sunscreen on.

This Birchbox month is great. I actually like all the products that I got in the box. ^_~

Harvey Prince - Skinny Chic

I like the scent: apple, mint, and lotus blossom.

Lashem - Measurable Difference Lash Gel Serum

My eyelashes are really short and I want to try this out, but the sample is really small. I'm not sure how long it is last and it is work or not. It is really pricey to buy full-size. ={

Number 4 - Clarifying Shampoo

I tried and really like it, but the shampoo is really pricey. It cleans my hair well and is pleasant scent

theBalm - Hot Mama.

This is my favorite 2 in 1 blush and eyeshadow. It's really pigment and peachy color with golden shimmer.

I haven't tried it yet, but this has Super 7 Complex of plant extracts =}.

However I tried Fresh - Soy Face Cleanser and really love it. It's really gentle and great to remove all the makeup (specially around eyes area).

Tarte Amazonian Adventure Color Collection and Tarte emphasEyes Waterproof smoldering clay liner

2013-01-07T16:09:00.000-08:00

I love Tarte's products because they are made of natural ingredients and no Chemicals that can be harmful to my skin. Also, they're animal cruelty free. When Tarte had 25% off for last Cyber Monday Sale, I purchased Amazonian Adventure Color Collection Perfect Rose in shade medium brown and Tarte emphasEyes Waterproof smoldering clay liner duo. And I got a free Pressed powder in paper compact in light 04.

This 8 piece collection includes:

Vitamin lip gloss in Paradise (Sheer berry pink)

Amazonian clay infused cheek stain in Perfect Rose

Light, Camera, Lashes! 4-in-1 Mascara

Amazonian Clay infused eyeshadow palette in Shimmering light pink, shimmering sand, and shimmering cocoa

Amazonian clay waterproof brow mouse in medium brown with a double-ended brow brush

Amazonian clay waterproof liner in blackened plum with a double-ended eyeshadow/liner brush

Lipgloss in Paradise and color is sheer berry pink. The texture is not sticky, although it's not a long wear lipgloss and the scent is alright.

This cheek stain is sheer beery pink color and nice texture. It's look natural on me, but it's not stay long on my cheek.

I wish the mascara is waterproof.

I like the bamboo wood case and it's really light weight. =} easy to travel with

The eyeshadows are smooth texture, but they are not pigment.

Top: Amazonian clay waterproof brow mouse in medium brown

Bottom: Amazonian clay waterproof liner in blackened plum

MyWaterproof eyeliner pot in blackened plum was dry out before I opened the package. ={ really disappointed

Top: Waterproof brow mouse in medium brown

Bottom: Waterproof eyeliner in blackened plum

Love the Brow Mouse and easy to blend =}

The blackened plum eyeliner is really nice when I swatched it with my finger. Unfortunately I could not use the eyeliner brush to get the product out from the pot ={

Overall: I'm really disappointed the two products inside Amazonian Adventure Color Collection set are Amazonian clay infused eyeshadow palette and waterproof liner. The eyeshadow in shimmering light pink and shimmering sand are not pigment. It's not stay or show up on my eyes. My Waterproof eyeliner pot in blackened plum was dry out before I opened the package. It's really hard to use the eyeliner brush to get the product out from the pot ={ because it's too dry. However, I like the eyebrow mouse the most. It does not smear and is really nice to apply.
