Wavy Navy




Another nail polish post. The star for this week is Nicole by O.P.I's Wavy navy. The name says it all, it's a beautiful navy colour. The pink is just a little experiment I did with my Revlon pink nail polish and a straw.

Two in one product

I just want to do a quick post on my recent discovery ( I feel like a scientist while typing that, haha). It's been about two weeks since I came across Gossmakeupartist's video on Youtube about getting rid of blackheads. Okay, so the credit really should go to him. He mentioned that salicylic acid helps with combating blackheads, you can watch his video here, he did an amazing job explaining it. 

I was really intrigued by that so I went and try it with my trusty Clean and Clear dual action moisturizer that I've been using to spot treat my pimples with. 


I noticed a visible reduction in my blackheads which I'm very happy about. I hope this is of any help.

Have a great week end.

Touch of Gold

Just a little update on yesterday's post. I added Nicole by OPI's "Shell me the truth".





This nail polish is very lovely on its own, with 3 coats you'll have a light pink with gold shimmer and when out in the sun there is a hint of blue tint, (I might wear this next alone) but I thought the gold shimmers on it would make my existing polish more interesting. I actually stippled the product in my nails, just experimenting. 

Have a good rest of the week my friends.

Nicole by O.P.I's Change the world







How are you my friends?
I'm feeling a little sad these past few days, I hope everybody is well. I saw this OPI nail polish the other day in the sales basket of my local drugstore (you can still see the orange tag, ha ha!) and I decided to paint my nails with it to make me feel a little better. It's bright and fun, I love it.

Torn between 3 colors



I'm in love with these beautiful colors that I want to wear them all at the same time.
La Senza Parisian Pink
Revlon Butterfly
L'oreal Club Prive
and a bobby pin to swirl the colors to create the design. Enjoy!







Imagine, Improvise, Create.

Moisturizersss

Hi. I thought I'd share some of my recent beauty buys and I realized it's all moisturizers. Haha! As much I love my Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizing gel, I find that during this time of the year when it's cold and windy, some part of my face is a bit dry. I got away with it few months ago because I was also using my Olay Regenerist Micro-sculpting serum which is hydrating as well. Those product, in my opinion is better during summer so I went and picked up the moisturizer I used to use during cold months, the Olay Complete all day moisturizer.


I loved the pink version of this but I figured I'll try this one since I also need SPF. 



I saw this Aveeno tinted moisturizer was on sale two weeks ago, so I decided to pick it up as well. I heard pretty good reviews about it. I've used this couple of times and so far so good. 


Lastly on the moisturizer craziness, is this Clean&Clear one that I only use for spot treatment. This is a repurchase product, so you can tell I love it. Been into this product for about 2 years now, it's been staple on my beauty corner.

And here are some random pictures I saw on the magazine. They are so pretty I can't help but share it. Thank you for sharing your time with me. :)

A pop of Pink

Spring probably is my favourite season, not that I don't enjoy the other three but I just like the colors I associate with it, also the beautiful flowers that slowly blossoms. Looking around you'll see floral dresses, bright colored jeans and of course gorgeous new makeups and bright nail polish.



Just a simple pop of pink.


I can't choose between these two colors so I just used them both. 


La Sensa nail polish in Parisian Pink for the little dots.


L'oreal nail polish in Club Prive. Gorgeous color but I needed 3 coats for the color to be vivid.



I'm guilty of not using top coat most of the time but I'm looking for a good one, any suggestion will be very much appreciated. Thank you. :)

Hello stripes

When it comes to buying just about anything I normally would think several times before I pick up an item, it may even take days unless it's an item I know if I pass on I won't be able to go back to. 

Few weeks ago, I saw an Aldo bag I thought would be great to bring for travel since it's big and it has a nice handle. I also love the butterfly prints on it. So yesterday I went with my mom to buy it but as I enter the store, I saw this gorgeous yellow with blue stripes bag and automatically fell in love with it. Insert picture now :)


Saw this, loved it, bought it. I might not in my normal self that time but thank goodness because I think it's a good buy.








This is the back part of it.



Is it weird that I loved how it has this thing that looks like a baby toys? Haha!








Thank you for your time. :)

Back to dark colours


Just when you thought spring is here, the snow decided to give us this beautiful view. I just want to share this picture before I get into the actual post. :)


If you'll see my mini collection of nail polish, you'll know I love dark colours. I easily get attracted to colours that from afar you'll think it's plain black but when you see up close, it's far from being plain and simple. 


Love Revlon nail polish. 


Here's how it looks with natural lighting. 




I hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a great week ahead. <3
