Konad Nail Stamp Kit

I gave it a lot of thought before getting this nail stamping kit.. It took me a week to finally decide. So this is basically what I got:

Konad Nail Stamping Nail Art Set. I got 3 special polishes, 4 design plates (that I got to choose), rubber stamper, scraper, Instruction CD and the plate guide. Actually the plate guide was free. The whole set costs around $50. (So now you know why I gave it a lot of thought huh?)

So here's what's inside the box. I picked black, white and red for my special nail polishes. I just think that these colors are the safest to be used for stamping designs and more neutral having any color as base, white and black works well with anything.

As for the plate designs, I got the M20, M25, M27 and M32. I was so excited in picking them out.. now  when I checked online for the available designs, I was a bit disappointed with some of the plates that I got.. I should have been more patient. I was not able to get a french tip plate :(

I've already tried using them and they are so much fun. My nails are so pretty. A lot of my colleagues have been commenting all about it and I even convinced one to get it as a Christmas gift for his wife :)

ciao!

Everyday Minerals Winter Color Collection

So.. let me present to you to the latest winter collection from Everyday Minerals..

I got samples of each of the Winter Colors and they're all fabulous! I love Neutral Colors because you can wear them anytime and it suits almost all complexions.  

I used them this morning for my winter look since it's a little bit chilly outside and I can't wait to try them. I've been collecting almost all of EDM's eye shadows because of its great pigmentation and because it blends very well.

I also ordered the Lavender Color Corrector. As what I mentioned on my previous email, I ordered this because I was advised that this  helps in preventing the EDM blushes form turning orange. I have this issue on EDM blushes and hopefully this solution works for me. Additional to this was the twilight kiss eye shadow.. which I love. Its a lovely purple color. I heard that it works great too as an eyeliner. 

Speaking of blushes, I ordered two of the marked down blushes for this season: Coffee Break and Bouquet. Two lovely taupe colors which can be used as blush, eye shadow and for contour. I used Coffee break as blush for my look today and it's pretty. The Image on the right shows the two blushes as well as my free Memphis Rose Blush.

Speaking of freebies..I have a free full size Memphis Rose blush which is a new shade that is not even available for purchase. I got it 'coz my order is more than $29 :) and I also got the Try Me-Winter Wonderland Eye Colors. So my freebies include 1 full size blush and 3 sample size of eye shadows. Lovely! :)

So, here's the image of all my orders:

Sorry if it came out a little dark..hopefully I can use them when I'm ready to make my own FOTDs or EOTDs :) I'm still not that confident :P

-CIAO!-

Been busy lately..

Hello everyone..
I've been so busy for the past few weeks.. we just moved in our new flat and a lot of things were needed to be done. Finally the internet connection is now hooked at home YAY! I could finally update my blog. Did a lot of shopping lately and will be posting them here soon.
Hang in there ladies.. CIAO!

Skin Food Haul

Dan and I went out for dinner last night. Due to the rush hour traffic we decided to head to the mall and burn a few hours there than being stuck inside the car. I knew from the moment he decided to do this that this wont do good for me..or the other way around..hahahha.. because I might end up buying things again.. I really can't help it!

We passed by the Skin Food Store and of course I cannot be there and not go inside to check some products.. I have been eyeing to get their Salmon Dark Circle Cream Concealer for some time now and I haven't been to a mall were Skin Food Store was available.

I remember that my moisturizer is almost out so I thought of trying a moisturizer from Skin Food since it's natural and it might do well for my very sensitive skin. The lady from the store recommended the Parsley and Mandarin Cream for troubled skin. She told me that she has been using the same product plus their Tea Tree Toner also for troubled skin.

Okay you might wonder why I prefer the products for troubled skin. Well, since I moved here in Dubai three years ago, my skin had problems adjusting to their water and weather. I would have breakouts from time to time, sometimes mild sometimes worse and so far I've been able to manage it well lately.. and of course I'm having my fingers crossed on this one.. I'm still on the search for the perfect product combination for my skin.. which will help in balancing my skin's Ph level as well as the water to keep them from having bad reactions that causes breakouts. Would yo believe that even for shampoo and conditioner, it took time for the best combination for myself to prevent the hairline and back acne as well as bad dandruff that I acquired because of the water here... but that one I already had it solved.. only the skin regimen combination left to be perfected... and I can feel that I'm close to the finish line on this one.

So again.. here they are:

 I started using it last night and I woke up with a matte (not oily) face, which is a very good sign.. and I used it this morning before putting on my makeup. Compared to yesterday, I started blotting for oil after 2 hours.. but for this one I started blotting after 3 hours and only very minimal oiliness.. which is really great :) I'm beginning to love these products..

The Toner felt nice. It smells like tea tree of course with a very mild minty smell on it. The scent was not strong and I didn't feel any tinge or any sign of harshness from it. As for the cream, it has this very mild mandarin smell which was relaxing and nice, and after applying you can feel that it seeps through your skin.

Okay now, I know I was supposed to get the Salmon Dark Circle Cream Concealer..but since I still have a whole jar of concealer from EM, I thought of getting this one after I finished the other. I'm trying to be a good girl now :)

I'll give an update on the results of this product. So far.. I'm loving it!

*Update: October 29,2009

Okay, I know its too soon to give some feedback about these products but Im really excited. See, after using it for barely three days I've been experiencing great results for them. Yesterday when I went home from work I washed my face, which was a natural routine for me to remove all the dirt and makeup of the day. When I was rinsing all the soap from my face I felt a huge difference for my skin. It was smoother and softer than ever. Of course I would notice this right away since I know how my skin feels. Then this morning it was better than last night.

I never expected fast results from these products. I've tried so many products before and so far the result from this is far most the best and fastest. I mean you can really feel the result and see that my pimple marks started lightening too. Another thing was my white heads and blackheads are popping out of my skin by themselves, they are very easy to remove.

The only negative thing so far is the oiliness on my nose.. but I dont mind blotting it once in a while if I have better skin results for the rest of my face. Im having my fingers crossed here, and Im really hoping that this will conitinue to make my skin better :) CIAO!
