H&M Bikini (Matching Bandeau)

I have been on the search for the perfect bandeau for the longest time. I had a gift card fun Wrapp so I went into H&M. I saw that they had Manhattan bikinis so I tried a bunch on. For some reason, they have like super small sizes that couldn't fit my chest. Like I usually wear a 2-4 in dress size but I had go get a size 10 up top. Finally I saw this one!! I loved the print and the twist in the center. They just happened to have one in my size. When I went to look at bottoms  I was surprised again to see my size. Win :D I'm so ready for summer!

Influenster Palmolive VoxBox


This is really unexpected but I qualified for the Palmolive Soap Vox Box.

Weirdly enough, this was exciting for me. I usually hate washing dishes but they made me want to do it more since the dish soap my mom usually buys doesn't look this pretty. Yup, this is pretty vain. Pretty dish soaps.

So Influenster sent 3 scents, Ginger White Tea, Lemon Thyme, and Lime Basil.

Don't really care for the lemon thyme since every dish soap is always lemon.

The ginger white tea and lime basil smells so good though. I already finished off ginger white tea hehe.

While the packaging and scents are so delicious, I don't really think they clean oil off that well though :T

Valentine's Day and Dreamcatcher Nails

For February and March nails, I decided to do the traditional red and pink theme and for March I had my eye set on a dreamcatcher theme.

Influenster Sweetheart VoxBox 2013



INFLUENSTER TIIMME!


Yay another Voxbox!! :D

I was super excited about this one because I got this like a few weeks after I got my Palmolive VoxBox WHICH I will post REALLY soon! I love my Blogger app since I can upload pictures easier.



Top Left: She's a Tease Hairspray
I actually already have this which makes me super sad because this was an OR item. I wanted the texturizing Sea Salt Spray instead but hey Influenster is free so I shouldn't complain...hahah
It's okay I guess. Not a huge fan of the smell. It does hold however.

Top Right: Skinnygirl On The Go Bars in Coco-Nut
Not a fan of coconut or nuts in general but I will give it a shot because last time I got a chocolate bar in my VoxBox that had almonds and it still tasted nice. Also a small fan of Samoas!! It claims to have 180 calories per bar. I'll tell you the taste and texture when I eat it hah.

Bottom: Secret's Clinical Strength Deodorant in Serene Citrus Scent.
I never used deodorants because my mom won't ever buy them for me because she thinks that it clogs up your armpit pores. Not really sure about that LOL. Anyway, I REALLY wanted to try one ever since I was in elementary school. I don't really have anything to compare to this but it works REALLY nice. Yesterday, I  put it on before I went to the gym and it smelled SOO good. It smells really fresh and sweet like fruit. It's not a tangy citrus smell. It goes on kind of white but then disappears.



The thing I was most excited for!!!
A day before I got my box I couldn't take the suspense and so I looked up a video.
So when I saw this, I was like :OOO because it's all electronic and cool ahah. I love to test new gadgets!
I don't really have oily skin unless I like eat half a party bag of cheetos puffs. I do have a slightly oily t-zone and this is specifically for it. It was pretty nice but since it's not really a FACE cleaner, it doesn't clean as well as my Clarisonic.



This is the brush and the machine and the cleanser.

When I touched the bristles after I opened the package, it was so hard. I wondered how well it would cleanse the nose area and forehead. To my surprise, the cleanser actually lathered up and it felt like it really was cleaning my nose area and t-zone. It was gentle but still felt like it did something.

There is 2 buttons for turning it on and off. It also runs on 1 AAA battery which they included!
It is similar to the Clarisonic in that you can take it in the shower but then you can't submerge it. 

It comes with a cleanser that smells nice and looks silver. I put a tiny bit on the brush before using it and it lathered up really nicely. I wouldn't have bought this since I have the Clarisonic but it is nice to have to get those hard to reach areas! 

3.5/5 hearts!

New Hobby!

I have been thinking about selling different accessories ever since I picked up a new crafting hobby.

Needle felting!

It's a bit insane since I'm making stuff from 100% natural wool. It's super fun to do though. I'll post a haul on everything I got. I used up some of the wool already though but it's okay haha.

Panda Keychain!


Unicorn!


I made a cupcake too but it looks super derps :(

More resolutions! (Gym and Sephora)


I have been wanting a gym membership for a while and I decided to get a membership at Gold's Gym since it is new. They have this awesome cinema there you can run or use the stair climber while watching a movie. The con is just that they don't have a swimming pool. I'll keep whoever still reading how it is. I've only been to LA fitness.

Secondly, I finally got a new moisturizer! In a Sephora haul I have yet to post, I received a sample of the moisturizer and I loved it since it wasn't greasy. I got the intensive one though. Same price only 20$! I just hope it's going to work well on my face because I've been using Soap & Glory's body butter on my face hahah.

I'll update this with my review after I test it out!!

Sleek Makeup Haul (Blush and Eyeliner)

Sleek makeup is an UK brand and I heard really good things about their blushes. Since I ran out of my Bobbi Brown blush, I decided it was time to try something new. I actually was going to get some ELF blush since I really like some of the colors. Eventually I got Sleek because I tried the Nars orgasm blush and liked it. I ended up getting 3 blushes and 2 eyeliners.



I didn't use this. I planned on getting the Urban Decay 24/7 Black eyeliner but because I was getting Sleek I thought I might as well get some kohl eyeliner from them. Terrible idea. As soon as I swatched it or actually TRIED to, I regretted wasting money on it. It was hard and waxy despite being heated up. It's terrible.

Stick to UD's eyeliners.



This is supposed to be the Nars Orgasm blush dupe.

It's this pretty rosy pink with gold shimmer.

It's called Rose Gold. I kind of like this but during the day it's not really practical.

It's too shimmery for my taste. People constantly ask me if I have glitter on my face when I wear this.

You can tell by the swatch how shimmery it is.


This one turned out to be my favorite. It's a really good blush for a slightly tan skin tone.
I really do think this would look good on ALL skin colors. It's just so pretty.

It's more of a dusty pink but a bit lighter.


Not sure why it's called Coral because it isn't that bright or light.


This pretty muted for a blush called Coral haha. It's super pretty and matte.


This one I regret getting the most because of how dark it is.
It was supposed to be this lightish plum color but holy crap, it really does live up to its name LOL


It really does look Pomegranate colored.


It's super dark and even though I'm tan-ish, this looks extremely scary on me. I can't even lightly pat it on, it's so pigmented. It's just been sitting in a cabinet. I want to sell this. Only swatched once. If anyone is interested, leave a comment haha. 


In all, their blushes are super pigmented but don't rely too much on the swatch pictures they have online. Do not buy their eyeliners because even though they're relatively cheap you can get a better eyeliner for the same price in a drugstore.

Influenster Cosmo Voxbox 2012

Hello once again! I am finally back!

The first thing on my list is this Influenster Cosmo Voxbox that I received in 2012 haha



Everything I will talk about is on here with details like prices!


This was everything that was in the box :)


This fragance is from Bath and Body Works. It really reminds me of Victoria Secret, especially the scent.
It's not your average sweet young fragrance Bath and Body Works usually carry- Aside from the occasional strong fragrance like the Cherry Blossoms anyway!

This smells really sexy and strong. I like musky perfumes and this was perfect. The best thing about it is that it is extremely strong and long lasting.

The con is that the cap is super annoying. It constantly keeps falling off. The design is super cute though.

I guess the solution to this con is to get a perfume bottle like the glass refillable ones and transfer it. I only do this with big bottles though so the cap is irritating haha.


I was so excited when I saw these. I had these in rainbow before and they were absolutely amazing.
When I was taking biology, I used them to write minuscule notes. The awesome thing about these is that they are erasable!! Works as advertised too. So, whenever I made a mistake, I have the comfort knowing that I can erase it.

The reason why I was so excited seeing them is that I haven't had my rainbow ones in a while and these are so, so, so awesome. They really do erase completely away. 


These are the erasers! They look stiff but trust me, it works sooo well.

I like how this is supposed to be a "Cosmo" voxbox but I'm so happy about the pens.


I love candy, especially chocolate. It's a curse, I know.

This was so yummy, I believe I finished it within three days of getting it.

I usually really, really hate nuts but this was so good that I ate it instead of trying to pick it out.

It really does add to the flavor. I absolutely love the sweet and salty taste. They remind me a bit of the Sea salt caramel macaroons I love to get in my local area.


It's so pretty!


Shaving items!

Apparently all venus blades fit all the razors. That's pretty cool because I'm used to using disposable ones.


Venus Embrace! It's supposed to "embrace" your curves and give you a smooth shave.


5 blades! It did give me a really good shave but I'm not really knowledgeable with my shaving razors. I never really bought razors myself. The first and last time I bought razors for myself was at the 99 cents store for a pack of disposables on a whim. After that, my sister gave me a 4 pack of Venus Twilight razors (not the movie/book hahah). Then, I've been using the razor I got from a subscription box (the hydro)....

Sad, isn't it LOL


What I'm really excited about in the shaving items is this!!

I have dry skin and since it's the winter, it has been worse! I've seen a few people with dinosaur hands, no lie and so I am doing any moisturizing I can to not reach that stage!


This was really weird. It's like a piece of soap on the top and bottom of the razor. It did feel like it was more moisturizing though so I just might try to get refills of this one! I love Olay haha.

January 2013 BeautyArmy

I finally picked out my BeautyArmy kit. I'm so sad whenever I pick out my BeautyArmy kit because I can never wake up early enough during the weekend to pick out something good and I never have time during the weekday in the morning to pick out my box. It's really weird. So, during the late afternoons, I just try to pick out stuff that I might like.

BeautyArmy turned 1! Therefore, they were giving out an additional sample. I had the choice between a Mark Brown Mascara and a Mark Black Mascara.



Top Left: 


Since winter started in December, my skin has been suffering from dryness. Hopefully this will really hydrate and protect my skin! If it works well, I might get the full-size. I'm always on the look out for a good moisturizer.

Top Center:


The first time, I got the red color but from all my subscriptions, I ALWAYS get red gloss that I don't even use them all anymore. This pink color is so gorgeous and looks appropriate to wear for all occasions. I hope it smells nice! :)

Top Right:


Not that excited for this one. But hey, it's always great to change up your hair routine once in a while! I might get surprised.

Bottom Left:


I don't have any eye treatments or eye creams at the moment because I haven't hit that age where I need it. 
But then, I have heard people who started using eye creams or even anti-aging products since they're 15. Sounds insane haha

Bottom Center:


This seemed really interesting to me because I used to use an index card until I got too lazy to. Maybe this will be the same thing haha.

Bottom Right:


I have yet to use any of the two eyeshadow I got from Whip Hand Cosmetics. All my subscription boxes from the past few months have been stacked in a box since I moved and I have so much to do!

I will get to it eventually!!

Just a full-size black mascara from Mark. 


Surprisingly, I haven't looked up the reviews of any of these products. This makes it so much exciting to see which products I will enjoy without a previous judgment LOL
