My foundation Collection

2010-08-01T14:10:00.000-07:00

hii everyone :D

i've missed bloging T.T soo much, but the good thing is that i have tons of new things to share with u guys ,, soo many thing ^.^ anyway this is my foundation collection i just talked about some objects if u are interested in something that i didn't talk about plz let me know :)

this is my foundation collection and my rating for each one, if you tried any plz share your comment about it, alright let start with my BB'creams ...

from the left [skinfood aloe sun BB cream no.2, skinfood Mushroom BB cream no.2, Missha BB cream no.23, Missha BB. Boomer <-Primer]

* My favorite one would be ~skinfood Mushroom BB cream no.2~

[prescriptive custom blend foundation<- for my summer tanned skin, laneige snow crystal foundation, Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect shade 71, Bobbi Brown oil free foundation]

* My favorite one would be ~Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect shade 7~

Dior Foundation Powders [Diorsnow + Diorskin forever] i can say that the both give similar finish except the Diorskin has very tiny shimmery effect on the other hand the Diorsnow is completely matte.

i usually prefere using the Diorskin for night and the Diorsnow for morning on top of my sun block as it have SPF 30, PA+++ it acts great to seal my sun'protection cream & also give a nice sheer cover. ♥

These two laura Mercier powders are sooo great, the one on the left is the secret brightening powder <- it works nice for sealing ur undereyes concealer. the one on the right is the translucent powder which is a nice, light finishing powder.

-INGLOT-

2010-02-11T05:12:00.000-08:00

hi everyone, i just wanted to show u what i recently purchased from inglot, the best thing about this brand is tht you can choose your palette and what colors you like, like for shadows there is a 4 colors palette and a 6 [i think >,<] any way the same thing for the concealers.

the shadows are amazing, i choose a natural set of colors for everyday use, they are really nice.

about the concealer it's creamy and glossy, i didn't feel comfortable using it as a concealer so am using it as a shadow primer it works great ..

`` FOOT care ``

2009-09-06T19:15:00.000-07:00

your foot is a very sacred thing, and you should really take good care for them.
they carry you all day long so they deserve a daily caring regime.

~TIPS~
- WASH your foot daily [either just with water or with soap too]
- Make sure to DRY your feet afterword.
- If you are outdoors wearing sandals [or any open shoe] make sure to have some WET TOWELS, they help aloooooot when you feel like your feet dry/dirty it's really refreshing.
- Always wear socks [specially at home].

~Before BED~
- Wash.
- Dry.
- Moisturize.
- Don't wear sock [ur foot need to breath]

~Weekly~
about twice or at least once a week you should soak ur foot and scrub, you can also use a mask.

The Perfection Soak;
✖ Warm Water
✖ Sea Salt
✖ Olive Oil, just few drops
✖ Showergel, choose the scent you prefer but if ur foot are really dirty i would recommended something more sterilizating like Dettol shower GEL [ or any anti-bacterial one ]

☞ soak ur legs for about 10 -> 15 min. and then scrub it with ur fav. body scrub and a brush then let it soak for another 2-5 min, rinse with clear water and dry it v.well after moisturize it [i usually use vaseline] and wear soaks ^.^ yaaay DONE...

+Massage+

By applying pressure to these reflex points on ur foot u will be able to stimulate the activity of ur internal organs as well as improve both the circulation of blood and lymph’s around the body.

[click for a bigger image] this helps you to find and understand which area is responsible for which organ and then apply some pressure, you can also use some olive oil just make sure to wear thick soaks so you don't slip >,<

after few weeks you will feel your feet is breathing and more moisturized, make sure to keep on treating them well ^.^

~Short Hair~

2009-09-05T13:41:00.000-07:00

+ Shiseido → Hydro-Powder Eye Shadow [H12]
+ NARS → Duo eyeshadow [HABANERA]

♣ am Crazy for Circle Lenses ♣

2009-08-27T17:07:00.000-07:00

Today i finally received my circle lenses :D am sooooooo happy ..
i ordered them from mesmerized eyes, i got to order 4 pairs and i had a free cute hello kitty case kit :D the packaging was great [THNX grlz]

the small picking tools that comes with the kit is soo practical, it's really great, i use it to remove the lens from my eye [am really not sure if it's meant for that purpose or not] either way it way much more easier and quicker than pocking my eyes with my fingers trying to remove the lens :P

STUPID PACKAGING !!!

2009-08-27T16:58:00.000-07:00

yesterday i bought this solutions for my eye contact lenses and i still can't get over how stupid this package is, take a look... look @ the red line...

it says 'running low on renu!!!' how stupid will a person be not noticing that they have to make sure to inform you O.o

!NEW! Geek Glasses @.@

2009-08-27T16:13:00.000-07:00

Heloooooo ppl ^.^

i was searching for the perfect one for months and NOW here is it :D
~ Pepe Smith ~

➮ and this is my old one ♥ Dior;

which one you prefer !? i luv both of them ^.^

dr.hauschka ♥

2009-08-25T16:58:00.000-07:00

well lets start with what i was dying to try ...
"Dr.hauschka" ^.^
i was thrilled to find it so i purchased 4 products:

1- Cleansing Milk [ For all skin conditions, especially beneficial to sensitive skin ]

$36.95

➥ great for makeup removing and it's very gentle and leaves the skin super soft.

2- Clarifying Toner [ For oily or blemished skin ]

$34.95

➥ this toner is great for my oily/combination skin, i spray it directly into my face avoiding ofcourse my eyes >,<>

3- Rejuvenating Mask [ For all skin conditions ]

$52.95

➥ i have just used it for 3 times so i really can't tell, but i think that the amount is too little for the price. i don't think it will last for longer than 2 months O,o

4- Pure Care Cover Stick

$21.95

➥ this is a concealer stick and it comes in two shades only, it suppose to help you conceal any pimple and cure it at the same time. i personally hate using makeup if i have any breakout's soo am still not fully comfortable to use it on regular bases.
