Manicure Monday: Edge-ing IT

Happy Monday :)

Last week I was quite busy since I traveled to Hong Kong. The weather there is still fall like compared to New York. Fall weather calls for fall nails :D

Sometimes simple can also look awesome. I loved this manicure that I did for my sister. Its sharp and edgy with just a few studs and color combo!

Manicure Monday: Vintage Nails

Happy Monday everyone!

Today is a pretty gloomy day in NYC, but I did some vintage nails over the weekend :) I was able to do the gold laces by using stickers! Simple right? :) They are very easy to use and you can cut it to freestyle it yourself. I will provide the link below as well.

Have fun and explore your options!


Products I used:

December/Winter Favorites!

Here are some of my winter favorite makeup that I have been using the past month!

Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink

 I have been loving the Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner for months now, However recently I switched to Tarte and had to switch back to BB. Its soft and does not flake as much. It does dry out a little fast but still the best gel eyeliner I have tried thus far.

Benefit Cosmetics Rockateur Blush

                                           
                         

Wow I must say good job Benefit! This blush is not too pink and it is the perfect color for fall and winter. It gives you that nice cold weather blushy cheek. Does that even make sense? It is definitely a must try!

Too Faced La Creme Lipstick

Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Coral Fire 

Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Spice Spice Baby

In the winter time my lips get super dried, these are the perfect lip sticks that you can count on that wont dry your lips out! Although I do have to reapply the lipstick every few hours, these colors are beautiful. The coral fire is not too red and is perfect for any day where I do not want a very red lip color but just red enough for it to be visible and natural at the same time.

Spice Spice Baby is an awesome pick. It has definitely been my everyday lipstick so far. It is a natural lip color. I wear it to give my lips a little more color, and its just the perfect everyday shade. Moisturizing and natural! Sometimes my eye makeup is a little heavy but not too heavy, so this lipstick can help create the perfect balance!

Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief Facial Moisturizer

Of course during this cold season we all need all the moisture we can get to prevent our face from drying out! I love this moisturizer, It keeps my face moisturized and it does not feel heavy at all!! BUTTT the only down side to this is that there are no spf in it. =( However, my face primer has spf so it does not bother me too much.

Happy 2014! Updates on my Blog

Happy 2014!

Hello fellow readers!

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Although I just started this blog not long ago, I neglected it for the last 4 months. I recently got employed for a new job and had to go to Hong Kong for training. Now that I am done with training and have more time, I will be posting more reviews on makeup. Although I wish I can post more nail art, I think that there will be less of that now because my job does not allow me to have such crazy designs. Its disappointing and sad for me but oh well.. Have to do what I gotta do for work right?

I will also have a lot of update on makeup I purchased from Hong Kong. I took plenty of pictures and I been trying out some of it already so that I am ready to review it on my blog :)

New Years Resolution: Keep my blog going and upload more nail art!

Cheers to 2014!
