Ferrero Rocher Inspired Look

Hello everyone!

Gosh Christmas is so close now and I am so busy with last minute gifting and trying to not miss anyone.  This is one of the reason why I have been slow in blogging and giving responses in my blogs.
Anyway, today I just want to show you my Ferrero Rocher inspired looks.

See I got a Holiday Treat Box from Influenster and in it, to my surprise, is Ferrero Rocher.  I was super excited when I saw it because I love Ferrero Rocher.    So, when I made a video review of Ferrero Rocher,  I just have to share with you guys my looks that I created while filming this video.

If you are wondering what is Ferrero Rocher, it is this amazing combination of  whole hazelnut surrounded by chocolaty cream within a crisp wafer all enveloped in milk chocolate and finely chopped hazelnuts and it is awesome.  If you never try one, you should try it and after that you probably will be blaming me for getting you addicted to this wonderful snack.  Haha.  I made a review video of Ferrero Rocher as well, check it out!


Here is the link to it:

Well let me just show you the look I create for this video.   I use Naked Palette 1 to create this look and lipstick I got from my glossybox for my lip.

Gold is the major theme for this look because Ferrero Rocher has a gold wrapper for its chocolate and it is just so fancy and expensive looking.

What I did with my eyes, I start with smog at the crease using pencil brush, half baked in the middle using the all over lid brush, sin in the inner lid, toasted at the outer lid then top it with combination of smog and darkhorse with the pencil brush and create a V-shape.  I then use naked to blend smog in my crease and Virgin to highlight my browbone.
For my bottom eyes, I use sin in the inner lid, smog and darkhorse combined on the rest of my bottom eyes.
I create an cat eye for the looks with perversion eyeliner, I also line my waterline with perversion.  I then apply fake eyelash.

For my cheeks, I use Nars orgasm, and I use MAC bronzer from the glamour daze palette holiday collection.
Lip: I use the lipstick I get from glossybox, I believe it is called Glossy Pink.  I really love this lipstick and have been using it plenty of times.

Here is just the final look with my Golden Gift box.
This look is very easy to create and won't take you long to do so I hope you like the look.

Just one final picture to show my love to this awesome chocolate treats.












That is all for today and let me know what you think about this look.  Do you like it? Am I missing anything?
I honestly love this look because it is neutral but at the same time very vibrant gold look that can be used for party or just everyday look.

No Mirror Makeup Challenge.

Hello Everyone!!

In today's post I am just going to show you the video that I uploaded.  It is a video about using no mirror to do your makeup.  It has been going on around for quite some time and I have been tagged by fellow bloggers to do this.  I honestly was afraid to do this challenge because I was so afraid that I am going to mess up so badly that I won't have the courage to upload the video haha.  My sister also has been bugging me to do this video but she meant it in a nice way.  She really wants to push me out of my shell  and just go do it.  It is not until I saw another fellow youtuber doing this and she was encouraging me to do it that I finally said to myself oh what the heck.  If I mess up, at least I will be entertaining my viewers right? All of you out there who I adore and love because you watch my videos and support me so why not entertained you guys in return.  So here it is and I truly hope you enjoy it.  I didn't do as well as I want to honestly :( but oh well.

Honestly, I truly enjoyed doing this video.  It was such a great challenge and way to recognize every little part of my face.  The detailed that I never even think I knew, I actually knew!  In addition, it really heightened my senses especially my sense of touch.  I felt the stroke of the brushes, pencil but at the same time the suspense of not knowing whether or not I drew my face right was so much fun.  Haha

Well you will be the judge of how I did in my challenge and I challenge all of you even if you are not a youtuber, have fun in your own comfort to challenge yourselves to do this.  Trust me, you will honestly enjoy and be entertained by yourselves in this challenge.  If you want to video it and upload it on youtube for the world to see and join the rest of the youtuber who have done this challenge whether they did it well or failed, go right ahead.  Why not entertain the world right? well of course this is your decision to make.  :)

Well without delaying much longer, here is my video and pls comment below or in my youtube and let me know how I did. You be my judge, C+, B-, D ? You tell me.  Oh and if you like my video, pls don't forget to subscribe.  Your support means the world to me and I truly appreciate it which is why if you have any request at all, I will try my best to do it.

Urban Decay The Vice Palette and EOTD

Hello Everyone!

How are you all doing? I want to apologize for not posting for about a week.  Honestly I think my body was just telling me that I need some rest because every night for 5 nights in a row I was literally fell asleep while putting my little one to bed.  I was asleep with him. Ha Ha so of course with that, I got nothing done.  I only do my blogs and videos at night when my boys are asleep because that is the only time for me to be able to get things done without having to worry about them or their needs.  Then, when I was about to start writing a new post, my husband is missing our "date" time so he literally just took me and said drop everything, we are going on a date.  Hence, I dropped everything and just went with him on a date.  Again, nothing done. However, my health, my body, and my family are the most important thing in my life so I have to listen to them first, don't you agree?  I hope all you truly understand.  :)

Well without further ado, I want to show you in this post the new amazing holiday palette from Urban Decay.  It is called The Vice.  I am sure most of you have heard about the buzz regarding this palette.  It is 20 brand spanking new colors all put in one palette.  All 20 of them and the colors as always are superb. Urban Decay holds true to its image, brand and promises.  It is unlike their previous palette where they will put a few new colors and the rest are repeat colors.  This palette has all brand new colors in them that packed on amazing pigmentation.

Why don't I just show you the pictures of these gorgeous colors alright?

This is how the palette looks like.  I forgot to take off the white cover that protect the logo.  Sorry :(  The logo comes in this beautiful crystallized UD for Urban Decay logo and purple felt palette cover.  It is lovely and nice because when you put this palette on a table, it won't slide off the table.  It is also comes with a button where you just push it and the top will slowly open on its own.  How cool is that? No longer have to open it ourselves and sometimes accidentally drop them. Oh I hate when that happens.  This new packaging is awesome, just put it on your table or vanity and push the button, voila! it opens slowly with this huge mirror ready for you to use.  Awesomeness! However, with felt packaging, as we all know it, it is also very easy to get dirty.

This is how all the lovely colors packed into one palette:

Simply gorgeous don't you think?

I will show you the colors one by one now :) as you can see personally close up of all the beautiful colors this palette gives.

This is Desperation.  It is a greyish taupe brown matte-satin.  This is a great blending color too for your crease.

This is Muse.  Love the name. A dark reddish brown with golden and multidimensional shimmer.
Pretty for everyday natural look.

This is Jagged.  Every time I see this, it reminds me of "Move like Jagger" song. Haha I know it is different but the name s quite similar.
It is a matte black base with gold metallic.  Enough said.  Anything gold always look nice.  This is great for everyday smoky eye.

Hey Blitz here!  This is a bright gold metallic.  Perfect to use on your inner lids especially during the holiday.  Simply pretty.

Hello I am Penny Lane.  Nice to meet you.  LOL Penny Lane is a bronze metallic with gold glitter.  This is perfect for Fall make up.  It is bronze yet metallic.  So pretty.

This is Junkie.  Oh I love Junkie. I first fall in love with this color from the 24/7 glide on pencil.  So gorgeous.  It is one of my favorite color pencil of all time.  Junkie is a dark green-blue with gold shimmer.  The color is so unique but so beautiful at the same time.

This is Chaos.  Chaos is vibrant royal blue with subtle shimmer.  It is vibrant alright!  I create a look with this color and love it so much.  I will post the picture below.

This is Unhinged.  It is electric turquoise blue metallic.  You guys know how much I love turquoise.  This color is so stunning.   I combine this with Chaos, they are perfect for each other.  They literally compliment each other.

This is Occupy.  Occupy is dark grey-blue metallic.  Very pretty for smoky eye look.

This is Black Market.  I love the name.  It makes this color looks so dangerous, mysterious yet incredible at the same time.  It is a dark charcoal black matte-satin.  Perfect for any smoky look you want to create.  A little goes a long way. Love it!

This is Provocateur.  Ohh sounds so sexy, dangerous yet dirty at the same time. Don't you think? Provocateur is light greyish pink with lots of multidimensional glitters.  You guys know how much I love glitter.  I use this in the inner lid to highlight and showcase the eye look I create.

This is Rapture.  Rapture is dark greyish purple with lots of multidimensional shimmer.
This is simply just a pretty light purple.

This is Vice.  Vice is a dark eggplant with red shimmer.  So pretty and vibrant.  I am looking forward to create purple eye look with this color.

This is Noise.  It is a dark reddish pink metallic with big gold glitter.  Oh how do I express how much I love this color.  It is like woodstock but better.  It has gorgeous glitter in it that just shows up so well when you put it on your lid.  I love it.

This is Armor.  Armor is greyish brown metallic with silver micro glitter.  Simply lovely don't you think?  Suits its name.  It literally remind me of a shield, if this makes sense to you guys.  lol

This is Nevermind.  Nevermind is a light taupe brown shimmer.  This is a great highlight color for your brow bone and cheeks.

This is Echo Beach.  Echo Beach is light wheat-champagne shimmer.  This is also great for highlight. You can even use this to create a 3D look for your lip.  Stunning.






This is Anonymous.  Anonymous is light whitish-pink nude matte.  Use it to highlight your brow bone and inner lid or to create a "no makeup look"

This is Free bird.  Free bird is a light peachy pink with a silver micro glitter.  A great color for highlight or to add a little shine to your eye look.

Last but not least, this is Laced.  Laced is a pinky taupe matte.  I love this color.  It is such a pretty color to create natural makeup look especially for "Makeup no makeup look"

The palette also comes with a double ended brush  which I am so totally love.  I know a lot of people prefer the 24/7 pencil to be in it but honestly, if you like their pencil, most likely you already have a stash of collections in your closet but I bet you don't have their full brushes collection unless you are a die hard UD fans. With that said, I believe it is more appropriate and convenient to have their brushes in the palette so you don't have to worry about not having the tool to use the palette (when travelling.)




Here are the swatches:

This is the first and second row:
Desperation, Muse, Jagged, Blitz, Penny Lane
Junkie, Chaos, Occupy, Unhinged, Black Market

This is the third and fourth row:
Provocateur, Rapture, Vice, Noise, Armor
Nevermind, Echo Beach, Anonymous, Freebird, Laced







All these colors are superb.  I love this palette so much.  I have been playing around with these palette pretty much all week.  Here is one of the look I created using this palette.

The Full Look:

Start with UDPP, then I took Desperation to define my crease.  I then use Nyx Milk jumbo pencil all over my lid then add Unhinged on the inner and outer lid.  I add Chaos in the middle lid.  Then I took Black Market on the outer lid to create the smoky look.  I finished the look by lining it with perversion 24/7 pencil.  On the bottom eye, I use unhinged and junkie combined for the outer lid and nyx jumbo pencil in baby blue for the inner lid.  I use Perversion as well for the waterline.  For the brow bone, I use Anonymous.

I just love the Blue.  Thank you UD for making this palette and the amazing colors.

I seriously love this look so much, I actually use this to go to the opening of our very first Casino in our town.  Let's just say the look lasted all day and I get lots of compliments from the ladies. Holla!!!

From another angle.














Well that is all from me then on this post.  I hope you guys love this palette as much as I do as well as the look I created with this palette.  Thank you for visiting! XOXO

To purchase this palette, you can visit Urban Decay, Sephora, and Ulta

Until next time!

Julep Matte Nail Polish

Hello everyone!

How was your weekend? Mine was so much fun.  My husband and I took the kids to Maize, Maze and Berries.  It is basically a place where there is maze, pumpkin and berries picking, dodge ball fun, laser tag, feeding the animals and so on.  We spent 4 hrs there and the day was just so beautiful.   You couldn't ask for a better day to spend the day outdoor.

Well let's get back to topic.  The topic today will be Julep matte nail polish.  Have any of you owned matte nail polish? What do you think of it? I own a few and I gotta admit, when I first try matte nail polish, I was like, mehhh not for me.  However, as I see more colors come out and people started coming out with their ideas on how to incorporate matte and glossy together, I was intrigued and loving the whole matte nail polish.


Then one day, I was at Sephora and saw that Sephora finally carry Julep nail polish and not only that, the nail polishes that are on the shelves are matte suede finish.  Ohhh I was excited to try them so I did and man! from the very first time I saw it on my nail, I am hooked.  I want those nail polishes so bad.  So I bought 2 of them.  There are many more colors but the price is too much for me to spend on a nail polish.  I bought 2 so that really speaks how much I wanted them.

Here is a little information about Julep:

     "Founded by beauty expert Jane Park, Julep celebrates friendship, expression, and connection through color.  Applying her professional beauty advice--often featured in leading fashion magazines--Park develop a nail polish collection with colors named after inspirational, vibrant women.  Julep's fast-drying, long lasting, non-toxic formula is paired with a high-performance, professional brush.  Additionally, the brand donates a portion of their proceeds to  organizations that support and empower women."  (taken from Sephora website) 

Without further ado, I will show you the two colors that I got and swatches of them as well as how I wear them.

Here is Minka:

       

Minka is this red based bronze color with silver shimmers.  I know you must be wondering how in the hell can you put shimmers in it when the result is going to be matte.  Well you will see on the swatch below.

One coat of Minka.  If you like soft polish, you can just be done with one coat.  Amazing how opaque it is right.  So pretty.

2 coats of Minka.  The difference isn't really much.  It just shows a slightly deeper color.  Still gorgeous!






Now here is the second nail polish that I purchased:

           





Amber is this beautiful yellow based silver yet bronze looking color and also with silver shimmers in it.  It is so pretty!

One coat of Amber.  Nice don't you think? for those of you who likes soft colors, you need to get these two colors.

Two coats of Amber.  Similar to Minka, the color with 2 coats really isn't that obvious.  It only adds a deeper color to the polish.






This is just a look at a different angle.








The colors are just too pretty.  Can you see the shimmers?  It is there but at the same time, it looks matte.  Amazing isn't it? A different look to typical shiny glossy nail polish with glitters and shimmers.  I love the look these two nail polishes create.  It is such a unique looking color.  The nice thing about this polish is that you don't have to put top coat (of course) because if you do then it will not be matte any longer but glossy so because of not having to put top coat, the drying time is shortened.  Actually the drying time of these two nail polish is incredible.  The drying time is 15 secs tops but to be safe, wait for a minute, just one minute and you touch it, it won't smudge or leave any fingerprints.  Incredible!  The not so nice part will be because it dries so fast, you gotta move fast. If you are too slow with it, it will dry on you so I am not so sure people who are used to taking their time to put nail polishes will like this as much as others who like it quick drying and know how to put nail polish with a single stroke.  (you know like those nail technicians)  So just beware that when you are putting on these polishes that you just have to be a little quicker than usual.  (Not much just a little)


Here what I did after I am done with my swatches.  Yes I will wear my nails like these for awhile because I am so in love with the colors and I am not going to waste my nail polish especially not these because they are not cheap so I am going to make the best of it by wearing them for days. Haha

I just added French tips to them.  I saw this at Sephora billboard and these two combination colors are what caught my eyes and I love it so much.

This will be what on my right hand.  Yes  I know these two are two different colors and different french tips.  Hey that is why it is so much fun to be wearing them.







So at $14 with only 0.27 fl oz (8ml) , it is just ridiculously expensive.  :( I bought it because I want it so much.  However, I love the packaging.  It is unique unlike any other nail polishes though it is fragile.  I know this because my baby broke one of my Julep nail polishes (luckily I didn't spend $14 on it) when he decided to throw it against another nail polish. (yes my little bunny loves to hang on to my nail polish, different color in each hand too lol) I love the drying time however as I explained it above, it can be a pain when you make a mistake and not have enough polish and dip it the second time because by the time you want to brush the polish, the previous polish already dried on you and it can create a messy look if you are not careful yet quick at the same time with it.

Well those are some of the things you should know before you want to purchase Julep.  I purchase mine on Hautelook and I bought them all half price except these two.  I bought them full price and it hurts to spend it but worth it at the same time.  You know what I mean? probably not. Haha oh well! just know that I will store these two in a much higher place so my baby won't get a hold of it and break it.

Ok guys that is all for now.  Which look do you like better? the silver french tips or the red french tips? Also which color do you like better? Let me know on the comment below!

Thank you so much for visiting.  Take care.  XOXO
