♥ NAIL ART: Heart Attack

Hi there! I have received good comments on my nail art designs and telling me to keep it up. I would definitely will not stop doing nail arts because I love doing it. So, here is another nail art design for you to try. Hope you will have a good time doing it. Here are the steps. :)

Step 1: Apply your favorite base coat to protect your natural nails.

Step 2: Apply two coats of frosted pink polish.

Step 3: Using a dotting tool, place two small dots in red polish side by side on your nail. Drag your dotting tool down towards the middle of the two dots to create a heart.

Step 4: Repeat step 3 to make as many hearts as you want on each nail.

Step 5: Apply your favorite top coat to seal you design and add a beautiful shine.

And the result:

This design will also look good on short nails. Hope you enjoyed viewing this nail art tutorial. Tell me if you tried one of the designs I posted in my blog. Thank you for viewing! :)

♥ REVIEW: Bench Clearpore Cleansing Strip

Price: P22.00

Bought at: Bench NCCC Mall branch

Availability: Any Bench branches

Description: Strip away the clogged dirt and oil on the pores of the nose with Clearpore cleansing strip by bench/. It effectively lifts away deeply hidden impurities for cleaner and less visible pores.

directions

My thoughts: This is my first time to use a nose strip. I was hesitant at first if I'll buy one pack of nose strips because they are expensive for me and I am always thinking that it will have the same result with the diy nose strip. When I came across with this nose strip from Bench, I decided to give it a try, since it has only one per pack. I find a hard time putting on the nose strip because it easily sticks to the skin especially if its so wet. It won't stick if the skin is not wet by the way. For me, it has the same effect with the diy nose strip. But I find this more convenient to use than the diy. I also find this nose strip more hygienic than the diy. Hahaha! For me, since I am a busy and lazy person, I will prefer using this. If you want to do a diy nose strip, read my blog post about it here.

Hope this review was helpful. Thank you for viewing! :)

♥ NAIL ART: Rockstar

Hi everyone! Are having a great weekend? If you don't have nothing to do, perhaps you may want to do your own nail art. Here is another nail art tutorial. My nail art for the week is called rockstar. I called it rockstar because of the colors that I used. But if you want to experiment with colors, then you can do so. It's your preference. Now, let us start. :)

Step 1: As usual, apply your fave base coat to protect your nails.

Step 2: Apply a dark pink nail polish at least 2 coats. I used a neon pink here.

Step 3: The best way to achieve that pointy style, is to use a scotch tape. Cut a square from the scotch tape roll, it may not be perfect square. Then, cut the square in half diagonally. So, you will be able to have a two triangles. Do that again because you will need three triangles as seen in number 2 on the picture above. :)

Step 4: Make sure that the pink nail polish is completely dry before you stick the tape because it can ruin the nail polish.

Step 5: Now that the tapes are completely stuck on to your nail, apply a black nail polish.

Step 6: Immediately take off the tapes after applying the black nail polish.

Step 7: Repeat steps 3 and 4, but this time, overlap a little of the black nail polish.

Step 8: Then apply the silver nail polish.

Step 9: Lastly, apply your fave top coat to seal your design and add a beautiful shine. :)

And the result:

Here are the nail polishes that I used:

So that's it. It's actually very easy but it needs time and effort. Hope you guys enjoyed and learned from this tutorial. Stay tuned for more. Thank you for viewing! :)

♥ WISHLIST: Christmas

Hello there! I am back to being busy again with school stuff and others that explains why I am MIA. Hahaha! To keep this blog alive, here is a wishlist post. Christmas is coming soon and I want to go shopping but unfortunately, I'm just a poor girl. :( Hahaha! So I am calling out my Santa out there. Lol! Kidding. Anyways, here are what I wanted this Christmas if I will be able to save money. :)

1. Ipod Touch. The only reason why I wanted Ipod Touch so much is because I am very fond of playing games. I don't care if my phone is not with cam or colored, as long as I have an Ipod Touch, I will never get bored. Of course I want the very recent generation. Hahaha!

2. Samsung Galaxy S3. If I won't be able to have an Ipod Touch, an android phone will be fine with me for the same reason. 

3. Make-up Products. I don't wear makeup everyday but I love them. Hahaha! I use them occasionally. I love putting on makeup but I am not confident enough to wear it outside our house. Lol! But one of my dreams is to become a professional make-up artist someday. :)

4. Shoes. I love all kinds of shoes, it may be with heels, heelless, flats, sandals, or sneakers. I only have 5 pairs of footwear. 1 slippers, 2 flats and 2 with heels. If I am going to be rich, I want to have a walk in closet full of shoes, different kinds. I want to have a collection of shoes just like Imelda Marcos. Hahaha! What a dream. Lol.

5. Clothes. Of course, who doesn't want to have many clothes? Me, I love trying out different styles of clothes(tops, dresses, bottoms). So, yeah, it's part of my wishlist and forever will be on my wishlist. Lol!

6. Nail polishes. I think you already know that I really love putting on nail arts on my nails, that's is why I want to have more nail polishes. I want to expand my nail polish collection. And of course, I also like to have nail art tools and things for nail care. :)

7. Bags. Last but not the least, bags. I cannot go out without a bag. So, I definitely need at least one. I own 1 bag and I hate it because it easily gets ruined. -__- I prefer Bangkok bags because they are chic and stylish and their designs are cute.

So, here it is, my Christmas wishlist. They are not in order by the way. Pictures are gotten from Google. Hope you will have a great week end. Thank you for viewing! :)

♥ REVIEW: Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream in Natural shade

Price: I honestly forgot the exact price but I am sure that it is below P300 :)

Bought at: SM City Davao Department Store

Availability: Any Maybelline counters

Description: Our instant Skin Perfecting Cream is a perfect blend of 8 minerals ingredients. Our unique shade instantly improves and perfects your skin:

• Brightens skin: visible whitening effect
• Covers imperfections: reduces the appearance of pores, skin redness disappears
• Moisturizes + Protects: all day hydration + helps to protect skin from UV rays and free radical

Swatch:

Ingredients:

My thoughts: Let us check if it successfully made its claims. :)

• Brightens skin: visible whitening effect (CHECK)

As you can see on my before and after photo above, it really made my face a little bit white. It has a yellow undertone that's why I did not look like a white lady. Lol! I don't really care if I look white because I will just cover it with a darker shade powder. But I really have a serious undereye problem. I need an eye cream or a very good undereye brightener. Can you suggest one? I would really appreciate it. :)

• Covers imperfections: reduces the appearance of pores, skin redness disappears (CHECK)

Yes, my dark spots and other dark areas were all covered and less visible. I can say that it really gave me a flawless look. :)

• Moisturizes + Protects: all day hydration + helps to protect skin from UV rays and free radical (CHECK)

Overall, I give this product a 5/5 rating. I can't really think of any cons of this product. I love that it gave me a flawless look. I love that it has an SPF 26 because I am so lazy to use an umbrella during a very hot day. Hahaha! I also love that it is in liquid form so it is very easy to apply and blend. So far, this is now my new favorite bb cream. I highly recommend this bb cream if you are in a tight budget. :)

Hope this review was helpful. And again, please suggest a very good eye cream. I badly need it now. :( Thank you for viewing! :)))

♥ NAIL ART: Cow

Hi everyone! Classes are going to start soon. So here is my nail art for the week. This is very easy to make and I highly recommend this design to those who have long nails. Now, leggo to the steps. :)

I know the picture says it all but I still want to enumerate the steps in detail.

Step 1: Apply your favorite base coat.

Step 2: Paint your nails two coats of white nail polish.

Step 3: Using a nail art brush, draw a line in the middle. Then, paint the half with the pastel pink color. It will serve as the nose of the cow.

Step 4: Using a dotting tool, draw two dots on the white part and two dots on the pastel pink part.

Step 5: Using a toothpick, draw the spots. Remember to draw them on the white part only, because again the pink part is the nose of the cow.

Step 6: And lastly, apply your favorite top coat to seal your design and add a beautiful shine.

And the result:

That's it. Very easy right? Hahaha! Here are the nail polishes that I used:

How do you like this nail art? Stay tuned for more nail art posts. Thank you for viewing! :)
