Valentine’s Day is coming! And on the first day of Chinese New Year. It is special because I will spend it with my family. :) And with loads of love too!

Fancy some Hershey’s Kisses for Valentines?

Prepare base coat, top coat, and 2 colors of polish. Here I used Stage 01-Innocent and 12-Astounding.

Color the base with darker shade and use the white shimmery polish to draw a line across diagonally. This will be easier for you to divide the nail into half.

Recently I have been quite addicted to soaps, it suddenly became all fun to discover awesomely cute soaps again!

Nostalgia Organics Happy Days Soap in Pinkgrapefruit & Wild Lemongrass

When I see this very cute soap from Nostalgia Organics, I was delighted! Look at the cute sack!!! First time I am having soap with sack! :D

On the little instructions, it says I can saw a strawberry pin cushion from the sack. But honestly I am bad at crafts, so it is better that I recycle this sack as an accessory holder or something.

Found this pic on the net, you can sew the sack into this!

Undressing the soap. It is a huge bar!

Usually I chop my soap into half if the soap is too big.  I like to alternate my soaps :D

maybelline the magnum volum express waterproof mascara

Seeing quite a few reviews on the new Maybelline the Magnum Volum Express Waterproof Mascara and it just hit me that I have not done mine!

One thing great about the bright yellow tube is that I can easily spot it in my bag with tonnes of stash.

The huge wand. I wish they had a tinier end though.

Never mind about the clumps. But overall I quite like this :D

Although it is not as dramatic as wearing falsies, but at least my lash could still be spotted from side angle!

And now Maybelline is running The Magnum Transformation Contest. Visit the site for more details, 1st prize gets RM1000 worth of products! :D

Through out my whole life of trying different brands of body scrub, I have of course come across several good ones. They were good for me until I discovered the better ones!

Honestly I have never been to a professional spa before, but now I know I can create one at home myself!

La Licious Body Scrub in Brown Sugar and Vanilla

Introducing - LaLicious in Brown Sugar & Vanilla Moisturizing Body Scrub. Picture above is a trial size of product at 56g (SGD$10).

Now, let me show you how awesome it is!

scrub step 1

After shower, don’t towel dry yet!

Scoop an adequate amount of scrub on your skin.  Smell it now and I bet you will have the urge of gulping it down. Well…I almost did…

rinse a little with water

Mix with a little bit of water and now you can see the scrub disappearing.

scrub

Proceed to scrub …scrub….gently..and pooof!

The scrub just miraculously gone missing!

It is actually made of coconut oil and therefore will be easily absorbed into our skin.

rinse clean with water

Rinsing time!

I love the water splashing against my skin. <3

And guess what?

Ta dah! Broken nail of the day…oh well…let’s see now…

—————————————————————————————————

What did I learn in January 2009…

Sis Nikki has great tips on how to make cream blush stay longer…and reminded me that it is time to let my Stila cream blush see the sunlight!

Paris B made me realized that I actually hardly finish one product till the last bit. *sigh* the 3-min passion in me…

Plue braved herself with FreshKon Mosaic Cosmetic Contact Lenses for the first time, and seriously I so feel like getting it too!

Bee’s discovery on Kérastase Biotic Concentré Bio-Recharge got me interested because I think I should have thicker hair than now at my age..bah!

Connie’s guide on Eyeshadow Primers 101 is priceless, read up if you are starting or looking for an eyeprimer (definitely will help you to spend less to get the best one)!

It is weird to see ALOT of food in beauty blog…but Jenn’s food adventure really got me drooled!

SoLoverly posted a DIY recipe for clarifying rinse with baking soda and apple cider and I am itching to try!

Yani’s thoughts in StriVectin Neck Cream made me realize that I really need to do something to my necklines..it is annoying and it is hereditary! Think this is something that I need to save up for.

Valentine’s is near…chinese new year is near…and I haven’t painted my nails in a while! Anyone misses my nails? ^_^

So, you are going on a Valentine’s date and you only have 20 mins to spare? Don’t worry, you can whip out a set of good nails too!

1

You need:

- Base & top coat
- A sweet nail color
- Glitter nail color
- A long strip of nail sticker ( Thanks Lisa to send me this :) )
- Tweezer, scissors

2

Since it is a sweet date, pick a sweet and mellow color (pink, shades of pink, red, gold). Here, I am using Revlon Tropical Temptation in 914.

Color a tip along your nail bed. Don’t worry about the line not being perfect. You see, the reason of why I am doing a thick tip is to cover the imperfections, plus it is much easier to draw a thick line.

3

Then, use the tweezer to lift the sticker up and try to roll it along the line of your polish.

See? The imperfections can be under cover!

Then use a scissors to cut the excess.
