Mini HM haul

A few pieces I managed to get. im literally building a wardrobe for this year. I want clothes that I can layer and still wear for the cold but that can be wearable for the warm spring/summer days ahead, and these two shirts are very light and airy, can be layered under sweaters and worn alone. Im so happy to finally have gotten a new bag too, all of my bags ( three) have ALL died, except for one but I don't really like it much anymore. anyway I look forward for this bag becoming an everyday maybe? I am loving these rings, well im wearing the top one more since the spiky one is too much but I think i;ll get used to it too I love them both :D thanks for reading, I hope you liked my post and I wish to get better at this as time goes. <3

some reviews

Loreal Colour Riche in Cotton Pink

 I've been wanting a cute pink color, and I bought this one blindly. the color is really cute and looks nice on my skin, but once on my lips it looks different. don't know what i'll do with it. the formula is nice, very moisturizing not drying. im sure there are tons of reviews on this, but my put in is for my skin tone and lips my lips alone are pretty pigmented so I suppose that is why the color won't really show up. which is a shame becuase I really do like the color, and the packaging is very cute too.


Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Treatment Mask
  
Next is this face mask i've had since October. it was sent to me by bzzagent along with the
whole line of this amazing series. A true skin saver this is. just slap it on your face for 10 min
various times a week and voila! beautiful hydrated soft skin!! before this my skin was dull, dry,
and I had very dry patches scattered on my face D: but after this line came to me
it really saved my face. this is all I have left right now along with the cleanser.
both are very thick and creamy and feel just so nice on my skin.
I really need to go restock on this, my other absolute fav is the night cream
of this same series.
Recommended for dry skin.

Schick Hydro Silk
Winner of the Cosmo Beauty awards for 2012 among
other awards, This razor also sent to me by Bzzagent is probably by far the best razor I have ever used.
It claims to hydrate legs for up to two hours after shaving with its water-activated moisturizing serum, and
reduce irritation. it also says to use with shaving gel or cream for best results. I used this without
a shaving gel or cream, instead I used a regular bar body soap and the results are still nice!
as I shaved I noticed the outer part of the razor releasing this slimy gel like solution, almost like
what an orgaic aloe leaf if you've ever opened one up and used the slimy gel without the horrible
smell of course. I noticed after two hours my legs were soft and  the shave was much better
than that of a disposable razor.  I will be using this from now on :D


thanks for reading and sorry about about the photo quality.

Face mask First Timer

Today I will rant about face masks :D

My Beauty Diary

I stumbled on facemasks about a year ago through beauty bloggers. I thought it was pretty cool and convenient. I wanted to try it out especially after seeing how asian celebrities were using them and they got such nice skin ugh.

however it took my until now to actually try them out since first of all im not an ounce asian and was unsure that they would work on my skin, but after reading so many reviews and how benefial they can be on the skin I just decided to try it out.

again im not an ounce asian, im tan and am of mixed race. my skin isn't oily (except for my forehead a bit) and can get very dry to the point where I get dry patches if not using any moisturizer for a while.

the first face masks I decided to get are the my beauty diary which everyone has already heard of and reviewed about but I feel like my review might help someone of non asian race maybe? lol

anyway I decided to get the variety pack since they had so many to choose from and I wanted to try out more than one of the many kinds they offer.

this set includes the following 7 different types of masks

1.       Collagen Firming Mask

2.       Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask

3.       Arbutin Whitening Mask

4.       Black Pearl Mask

5.       Bird’s Nest

6.       Red Vine Mask7.       Aloe Mask

so far I have only tried the bird's nest and the collagen firming mask. im doing one mask a week which is every sat night :D. so far I like them them but I don't love them.

Bird's nest 

I only left this one on for about 25 min for fear of an allergic reaction since it was my first time trying these masks lol that was dumb I know shut it, the mask had a nice scent and had a ton of serum! as advised by many of the beauty bloggers who used this I used the excess serum on my neck and hands hee hee.

I didn't notice a real significance but it brightened my dull skin and left it looking and feeling nice. after reading that it was actually made with with a type of bird's saliva I was kind of grossed out but at the same time thought well it must be good lol.

so if your not down for that you might want to skip this mask.

next up is the collagen firming mask. the packets are smaller than I had imagined, and the actual masks are nicely folded inside with a protective light plastic that you peel off before putting the actual cloth on your face.

this one felt had a nice soft scent too which I cant describe just know that it's nice. this mask tingle a little bit and made parts of my face itchy which I think was a good reaction.

I left this one on for a little over an hour, until my face absorbed all of the serum from the mask. the mask doesn't drip btw. after peeling it off my face was slightly sticky but after the serum was fully absorbed it went away.

my face again was bright and i did feel a slight firmness which was nice. I think with continued use of this mask your face will look amazing if firmness is what you need.

Update pt1

fighting to keep this blog alive. been very lazy and busy to come on the computer.
the bro however bought a laptop so im taking the opportunity to blog in a more
free comfy space :D the space where my old comp is located is cramped and the
comp itself is old and gross and I just hate going on it now.

anyway, I want to share what I did last weekend since I had been anticipating it
for a while now, back in july I joined the youth music dept at the church I go to
and have been slowly getting to know more people. I am very excited about that
because irl the friends I had are non existent pretty much, I used to have a good amount
of friends but slowly I've had to cut some out of my life and others have just been
too busy to even talk + they live very far so it's hard to hang out.

anywho, our leader in the music dept planned a girls night out event just for the
us girls :D. most of them are singers and three of us play an instrument. we went to
the anabella hotel in anaheim, pretty much right next to disneyland, the hotel was very
nice, sorry I didn't take any photos (im pretty bad at taking pictures in public since
im very shy, I know I need to work on that). everything went
by really fast! we went night swimming, went back to our room and ate then
had a spa time complete with facial and manicures lol then sleep.

I didn't get much sleep since the girls were being loud and talkative but I cant complain
I had a lot of fun and got to know the girls i'll be working with in the future!

sorry for the text heavy post. I will do my best to get over my fears lol.
