Happy Lunar New Year and FoTD

Happy Lunar New Year!! I hope everyone is staying warm! Originally I was meant to head over to my Momma's house for New Year's Eve dinner but Nemo decided to be an angry clown fish and made me postpone my plans. So what's a girl to do when she's bored? Play with her makeup of course! I came up with this look using Urban Decay's Naked Basics and Theodora palettes.

May you all have a prosperous and happy new year! Live the life you want to live with no regrets.

FoTD and Gel Manicure

Every time I go out, I always forget to take a photo of what I'm wearing that day or I go without any makeup on my mug. I gotta change that habit. Today, I got ready to go out, only to decide to hold on my errand run until tomorrow. I thought I looked nice so I camwhored. Can't blame me for being a girl!

What I Used:
Face:
-Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Nude

-Revlon ColorStay Gel Eyeliner in black

Lips:
-Maybelline 10 Hour Superstay Glossy Stain in Ruby Indulgence

After my cardio session at the gym yesterday, I decided to treat myself to a manicure and pedicure. Instead of getting a regular manicure, which chips quickly, I wanted to try a gel polish manicure. The color is suppose to last for two weeks without peeling or chipping. It's day two and I have to say, it's nice to not worry about chipping or peeling. One of the cons about the gel polish manicure is having to soak off the polish. It's recommended to go back to the salon and have it removed, but I'll wait to see how I feel in two weeks.

Hope everyone is enjoying the longer days!

FoTD: Taeyang Inspired/ Night Out

I was feeling a little creative today and decided to do a Taeyang inspired look. This even included me trying to tease my very long hair into a faux-hawk. Now I really wished I could have made my hair look as sexay as his, however no amount of hairspray or bobby pins could achieve it.

Believe it or not, Taeyang does wear eye makeup, it's subtle but still noticeable. There is some guy-liner and even matte brown shadow to bring more dimension to his eyes. Or the makeup artist wants all of his fans to melt under his intense smoldering stare. haha

I kicked it up a notch and made this an evening, rocker eyelook. I must say after playing two years with makeup it does not take me half as long to create a look like it used it.

Here's what I came up with:

What I used:

Face:
-MUFE HD Foundation 118 & 123 Mixed
-MAC Studio Pressed Powder NC40
-MAC Skinsheen Bronzer in Tan-tint
-MAC Careblend Powder in Gold-Go-Lightly

Eyes:

-UD Primer Potion
-NYX E/S in Black
-UD Buck, Naked, Virgin, and Darkhorse from Naked Palette
-Maybelline Falsies Mascara
-NYX Eyebrown Cake Powder in Taupe

Lips

-Cover Girl Delish Lipstick

-MAC Hibiscus on center

Happy Friday!!

K-Pop FoTD: Hyuna's "Bubble Pop"

As of late I have been listening to a lot of K-Pop music. My current fave is Hyuna's "Bubble Pop." This song just makes me want to dance. I also love the whole cropped top with short shorts look. I tried looking for her Joyrich red "Boy" top, but I can't find it anywhere to purchase T.T

I noticed that Bubz and Jen from Frmheadtotoe both did an inspired "Bubble Pop" look. I thought both were gorgeous and unique. Just watching the videos made my hands itch to play with my makeup. 

The look I took inspiration from wasn't from the video itself but the promo pictures for the mini album:

If you look closely, there is a pop of a caramel bronze color at the inner corner of her eye. I must admit I had a lot of fun recreating the look especially since I was dancing along to the song while applying my makeup. I didn't add falsies since it looked like Hyuna wasn't wearing any. The more I think about it, the more I think this is a great look for the summer.

Products Used:
Face
-MAC Prolong Wear Foundation NC30
-CoverGirl Simply Ageless Concealer 210
-MAC MSF in Medium Pus
-MAC Careblend Powder in Gold-Go-Lightly
-MAC Warmth of Coral Blush
-MAC MSF in Semi Precious

Eyes:
-UD Half-Baked
-MAC Saffron
-UD Smog
-UD 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero

-Fairy Drops Scandal Queen Mascara

Lips:

Have you heard this song yet? If not, play the video for happy-go-lucky feelings. Believe me, this song will stay in your head!

EoTD Using Dark Diversion and Noir Plum

I need to play with more colors in my makeup repertoire especially because I have so many colors! I tend to stick to neutrals because I just feel it's easier to apply and to match outfits with. Plus people give you the crazy eye O___o when you have like electric blue shadow on. It should matter but sometimes I'd rather not deal with it.

Today I decided to play with MAC's Fluidline in Dark Diversion, a beautiful plummy purple color and also their Peacocky eyeshadow in Noir Plum. I hope you guys like it! I tried a different take with the liner, it's MP-esque but I think it's a great way to incorporate color eyeliner.

Here's a close up of the liner cause you can't really see if from the collage above.

Face:
-L'Oreal Studio Secrets Primer
-L'Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle in Nude Beige

Happy Thursday! It's almost Friday ^__^

Review: kkCenterhk Lashes

About three weeks ago I received an email from a woman named Maggie from the company kkCenterhk. The company is based in Kowloon, Hong Kong and when she emailed me at first, I will admit I was a little skeptical. After browsing the website and reading the reviews I replied back and told Maggie that I would be interested receiving a pair of lashes to review. She quickly replied and told me to pick a my favorite from the ES brand. I selected the short criss-cross lashes (A077) because they seemed to be wearable on a daily basis. Maggie responded the following day saying that she had shipped the lashes out and about a week and a half later I received them.

The lashes that I selected looked exactly how they looked on the website and I was pretty excited to try them. The reason why I'm reviewing the lashes now are because I wanted to wear them multiple times before giving you my review. I will never lie about a product or say something false. You guys know if I don't like something because I will never hesitate to tell you.

The lashes are very comfortable and soft. They don't feel heavy at all and they don't poke my eyes out! Along with my lashes, Maggie also sent me four extra pairs! These are more glam lashes and I can't wait to try them out. The peacock lashes I'm super excited about. I thought it was very sweet and generous of her and the company to send me more than the original lashes.

From my experience, the customer service is very good. She was quick to respond and quick to ship the product out. Considering that the company is in Kowloon, the shipping was very quick. Also the price of these lashes are ridiculously low! The lashes I selected only cost $3.70 for ten pairs! That's .37 cents a pair. I don't know about you but that's a pretty good deal. There are higher priced lashes which I'm sure are even better quality but these lashes are comparable to many of the lashes found in drugstores. If you want to visit their website here is the link.

Here's a shot of what they look up close. I think they are the perfect length to wear on a daily basis without looking all done up.

 Of course here's a FotD. 

Disclaimer: Please know that these lashes were sent to me to review. I am not affiliated with the company nor do I get paid to review or mention them. These are my honest opinions and thoughts.
