Eyelashes, in my opinion, are the most important part of a makeup look, so choosing the right mascara is a must for me. I can't say I've gone through a TON of mascara's but I've gone through my fair share of them. Out of All of them though, I got to say, Loreal's Voluminous Million Lashes with collagen has to be my favorite. I've tried Lancome, Covergirl, Maybelline, but Loreal's just seems to
top everything! I love how it holds my curl while still volumizing and thickening my lashes! It is a little pricey for a drugstore brand, I believe around 8.00$, but it is definitely worth every penny! I used to have the one in the gold metallic tube, but I feel like the one in the black tube thickens better.
I recommend this to everyone with hard to handle asian lashes, like me! Have you tried this product yet? what do you tihnk?

So a couple months ago, I had the opportunity to go to the beach for a couple of days with my friends. I had super super SUPER pale skin so I decided to go get something to darken my skin tone, and make me look tan and glowy :D I decided to go with the Jergens Natural GLow Moisturizer because my friend had recommended it and I also youtubers recommend it as well. I gotta say, it really does work
well and I do really like it. It really did make my skin a few shades darker and did not make me look orange. I think it recommended that you use it for about a week, and that is about how long I used it and I saw results after the first few days.
There are a couple things I would change though. First, I hated how after I put it on, I got this really nasty feeling. Like, it felt really sticky and it made me wanna wash my legs. But, I have a feeling that its just me, because I asked my friend if she felt the same, and she said she didn't notice it.
Second, It has little sparkles in it. I know that a lot of tanners and bronzer type things have sparkles, and I dont mind it, but I realized that a lot of the sparkles got on my clothes, my blankets, etc.. It wasn't TOO bad, but it certainly was not wanted.
Overall, I would repurchase. I really do like this, and the color it gave me. I would recommend it to everyone!

Before you comment, yes I am due for a repaint of my nails. They are definitely growing out and chipping, but I am surprised by how long the nail polish lasted since I painted them about a week ago! For all of my nails, I used my For Audrey, china glaze nail polish. I used 2 coats of that. Then For my accent nail, (which was painted a couple days after I painted my nails one color because I was
bored) I just spotted some random dots with my sally hanson mint sorbet and lined it with a black nail polish from salon pro. I really like this because it gives a twist on traditional nail polish colors. And if you have seen my previous NOTD's, then you know how much I love accent nails!

I basically just bought these shoes on a whim, and I definitely regret getting them. I'm not sure if you can see through the picture, but they are plastic-y feeling. I got these at marshalls, which may be a reason why I bought them on a whim. It's weird, because everytime I go to marshalls, I feel like since im getting such a good deal on things, I basically just "lower my standards" and buy
things I wouldn't normally buy at full price, even if it was cheap. I don't know if that made any sense at all. ANYWAYS, I got these for about 10$, which now that I think about it, is not THAT great of a deal anyways. Everytime I wear them, I feel like the bows are so big and overpowering, and it doesn't help that there are 2 of them, one on each foot!
I probably will never wear these... but what do you think?

Let me just start by saying that I LOVE LOVE LOVE frosty/nude/peachy pink lip colors! I can't get enough of them, so you can imagine the look on my face when my friend told me that I could have her most frosty/pink lip gloss. It is a Smashbox lipgloss and it is in pout. It is basically my favorite lip gloss, for now anyway. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone since this lipgloss is especially
frosty. But it is definitely a keeper for me! The swatch does not do justice to how beautiful the color is on actual lips! I don't know the price of this, but again, I definitely recommend it if your into frosty, nudish pink lips. :)
OH, and sorry about my dry hands in the swatch x)

I recently cleaned my brushes and lay them flat to dry. I hate laying my brushes flat because when my bigger brushes dry, it has a weird shape to it after it is fully dried(i have very cheap brushes ): ). So, I decided to get creative and actually do something about it!
A couple days ago, I got my order from sigma,so the box that you see in the picture is actually the packaging. What I did
was, I basically just cut the top/lid/flap off, to make it into a box with no lid to it. then i got that lid piece, cut it in half, and glued it to the sides of the inside of the empty box. Then I got a sharp pencil and started poking holes at the top for the brushes to fit into. For the bigger brushes I used my highlighter, which was bigger.
It's so easy to make, and I really like how it turned out.
What do you think?

I just got new sandals, and this would be my second pair that I got in a month. I got this from Macy's and I am LOVING them. My only complaint is that they kinda hurt my feet... but otherwise, I think that they are SO CUTE! These were originally 79.99$( I know... YIKES!) but I ended up getting them on sale for 59.99$. Still expensive.. but I really couldn't Help Myself! I think that these are
seriously so cute! They are different from other sandals, but yet, so modern at the same time. They also contour very nicely with your foot. It just overall looks great and I always get compliments on them when i wear them.
What do you think of them? Hit , or miss?
OH & pictures are mine. :)

So while I was in chicago i got a chance to go to an outlet mall. In the outlet mall there was a guess store and I picked up a pair of sandals. I'm not sure what the original price was, but I ended up getting them for about 40$. I am definitely loving the bow detail on the side, the chains on the front, and the zipper back. I am super happy with my purchase. I hope you guys like it as
well!
What do you guys think?

I was at Costco the other day, and I saw a whole box of Metreomint water! I remeber having these a while ago, but I just thought they were discontinued or something! If you dont know what this is, it is basically water with mint flavoring to it. Its really good and refreshing, especially when cold! It basically tastes like water, while chewing minty gum.
Best part about this? no one in my family
likes it, so its ALL MINE!
have you ever tried this?
