Benefit Dandelion Pink Powder

My cousin gave me this yesterday since she wasn't using it anymore ($28 value hehe). :D I love it lotss!! It does take a bit of swiping to make the color show up on my cheeks, but the result is a lovely pink color. Think I'm starting to like this brand.

Valentine's Day Love

Valentine's Day Makeup Picks.

Etude Nail Polish


Korea has many cosmetics shops, one of which is Etude House which mainly targets young women. I find some of their products to be of decent quality considering the price. Affordable yet pretty. :)

Well, I tried out Etude's nail polish in Sherbet Pink and the result left me a little disappointed. While the bottle design is uber cute and color is a beautiful pearl pink with sparkles, it just isn't pigmented enough and I can still see clear streaks after it's dried. Haven't check if it's chip resistant yet, I'll get back to that at the end of the day. But so far I give it a 7.5/10.
...............
Well, it's been the whole day and the nail polish didn't chip. The only complaint is it's too gooey and melts when it gets warm. Contrary to other reviews, it is NOT fast drying. You'll have to wait a couple hours before touching anything or else you'll get marks on it. =p Anyway, all-in-all a good Nail Polish I guess if dried properly.

Loreal Paris Hair Color

Early this morning I bought and tried Loreal Paris hair dye from the local supermarket. So far it seems okay, it's fairly gentle on my scalp compared to other hair dyes. My hair is thick and black, so something that effectively lightens my hair while not being so irritating is nice. :)

Before I used to use Japanese hair dyes but they've become a bit too expensive on my wallet, plus the color, though beautiful, didn't seem to last long - only a month at most. Don't even get me started on hair dyes from beauty salon supply stores. Those dyes are strong and harsh if not applied properly. And the color didn't last long - two weeks.
