FOTD: Who's that chick?

Okay, so the look of the day is the look that Rhianna wore in her "who's that chick" video. I know, lots of people have already done this look on Youtube but I love the look soo much, I decided to do it too!!! :) I also got a new haircut! I cut my bangs myself though because the girl who cut it, cut them "side swept" but it was too short to be side swept bangs. It was horrible! I came home and took my shears and nipped them myself!! Let me know what you think about them!

Art Club: Glam Nails

So I've been trying to see if I can get my hands on some Minx nail products but I believe you can only get them done by a certified professional....? :S  So I recently went to my local Sally store and found these knock-off nail stickers and decided to try them out! I would say that they are quite different from Minx nails because they ARE just stickers and the Minx nails, you actually have to rub them on and then heat them in order for them to adhere to your nail. Anywhoo, nonetheless, I bought a set to try out and give you all my personal review/impression on this new product.

Here are a few pics of how it looks like in the packaging and on the nails.

PROS:

• Inexpensive (approx $6 CDN)
• Easy to remove
• Lots of nail stickers, can use one package twice depending on how long or short your nails are
• Updated trendy designs

CONS:

• They smell bad/chemical-ish
• Not many designs to choose from
• Hard to put on/cutting the nail stickers to your nail size
• Thick in size, meaning shorter lasting power
• Edges start to peel/chip after 1 1/2 days (even with a top coat)
• Can rip easily if not handled with care when applying on the nail
• Top layer of the sticker peels away easily, sometimes taking half the design away with it

All in all, I'd give this product a 5 out of 10. It looks great when you first put them on but once you start doing your day to day activities, they really start to give way. The quality is not great for a product that you think should last you at least a week. It's definitely a product you can try since it's soo cheap and fun to wear, but if you are looking for something to last you a few days, I think I'd stick to some good quality polish!!

Just a pic of what the Minx Nails look like. They are definitely something I would like to try. Supposedly, it's to last you 2 weeks on the nails, give or take!

Christmas look #4

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Okay gals! This is going to be the last Christmas look for the year. I wanted to just go TACKY and do the whole red and green look! lol But I still wanted it to be somewhat wearable (that is if you're gutsy enough to wear the look out!) Anywhoo, I'm lazy to list all the products so I'm just going to post the pics! Merry Christmas and Happy New YEAR!!! :D

 

Wet n' Wild's Eyeshadow Palette in PRIDE (247)

Hey ladies,

I've been hearing raves about these palettes and decided to try them out myself. I've only had time to try this palette (Pride) out but so far, so good.

Here's a pic of the look I did with just these colors.

 

Pros:

• very pigmented 
• affordable ($5.98 CDN)
• longlasting
• blendable
• has both matte and shimmery shadows
• colors are buildable

Cons:

• the matte colors create a lot of fall-out
• the matte colors are somewhat chalky

Elegant Christmas hair updo

So this is my first blog entry about hair. It's definitely not a tutorial as you can see, I don't ever do any sort of tutorials! I was bored and wanted to practice updos so I asked my cousin Panou to come over for me to do her hair! She's got super long layerd mermaid hair which I LOVE! lol Anywhoo, these are the pics of the updo. You can definitely wear this hairdo for weddings or parties or even for the holiday! Enjoy!

And if anyone is wondering, I bought the hairpiece at ALDO's Accessories for about $12!

Christmas look #3

This one is a smokey purple eye with a nude lip. Of course, you could always wear these looks any other time but I always find these are quite suitable for the holidays as well. Hope you like!

Update products later...:D

Christmas look #2

Really not too much to explain! It's a Green and Gold look with coral peachy toned lips! Great for any Christmas event! Not too over the top but completely wearable during the festive holidays! :D
