My take on Blue Ocean Eyes using L'oreal HIP Showy (MAC Parrot dupe's) and some others MMU pigments.

• UDPP
• Archetype's: Betty's Bang (foiled, 1/3 inner lid)
• HIP Showy: Teal (middle lid, lower lash line)
• HIP Showy: Navy Blue (1/3 outter lid up to crease, lower lash line)
• NYX: Aloha (highlight)
• Rimmel: Soft Kohl Black Eyeliner
• Maybelline: Full'n'Soft Mascara
  

Haul Time !!!
I went to Longs Drugs with Aaron (he needed to pick up a clip board) and I found these:

Yes, I got another lippies T_T WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEEEH???
I saw this Burt's Bees Raspberry & Brazil Nut Moisturizing conditioner and decided to give it a try, hopefully I'm not allergic to Raspberry ^_^ I will do some reviews once I'm sure with the result. Oh btw it smells DIVINE !!!!

Jordana lipgloss in Natural is very pretty, I was kinda hesitant coz it reminded me of NYX Beige, but when I swatched them @ home, they're totally different. Beige is definitely pinkier (is that a word? LOL).
Wet'n'Wild lipstick in Light Beige Frost is kind of misleading, coz it's not LIGHT nor BEIGE ^_^
but for $0.99, I'm pleased with its moisturizing texture & it contains Vitamin A, C & E.

This is gonna be the quick review & swatches on my Archetype's e/s that I got, as I mentioned in the earlier post, I ordered 9 of them but due to the super duper slow process & shipping, Holly the owner sent me an 8 free samples!

I have to say the colors are very pretty but holy cow they are VERY SPARKLY! I dunno how am I gonna wear it without looking like disco ball LOL oh well, we'll see.

Other than that, I actually love it, the ranges of colors they offer are very wide, different sparkles could make a totally different shades i.m.o : )

So here we go:

Archetype 1

Dirty Blonde: peachy ivory
Child of Hounds: pale apricot (i notice green shimmer)
Mausie: opaque copper penny (i like this one)
Apocalypse Meow: soft pink with green sparkle (too sparkly for me)

Archetype 2

Mandrake Root: golden green shimmer
Back to the Sea: sea blue-green with gold shimmer
Old Erie: gemlike green with gold sparkle
Cicatrix: deep leaf green with pink flash (LOOOOVE this one)
Angel of Indulgence: dark turquoise teal blue
The Gargoyle Tree: smokey grey with green tint (very unique)
Midnight Aeval: blackened teal with silver sparkle
Bengal: honey brown with green sparkle

Now I have another one called Betty's Bangs which I forgot to swatch (sorry) but it's basically a black with blue highlights, would be awesome for eye liner.

Don't hesitate if you got any questions, just lemme know! :D

Toddle-do!

EDITTED !!!

I don't know if this tag games has been done before here in Vox but I've seen it in other beauty blogs & Youtube
and I think it's fun : )

The rule is:

• Show your everyday bag/purse and everything inside

• To see what other's carrying in daily basis and I think it's fun to see other people's priority
  
• It's fun : ) hehehe
  

Coach

It's Coach and it's a gift : ) I've been using it for the longest time and I don't think this type is still out on the market. Look how the fading color in both front side? yeah that basically shows how old I've had this

hehehe I like it tho', it's a perfect size for me, and I like the handle is long enough for me to carry it on shoulder, I hate short handle, it takes too much effort to slide it in : )

MANGO

I have another bag I love, it's red, it's huge and it's cheap!

I believe I got it back home in Indonesia, it's from MANGO and I got it on clearance so it costs around $40. Not bad for such a huge tote bag.

I take this to school with all my crap LOL, I travel with this, and it also has a long side post man handle that I can clip on to the side of the bag : )

very handy !

And here are what's inside the bag:

Later today I went to Walmart to pick up some measuring spoons, I plan to make some toner & mask so I thought it's about time I get those measurements, for my own convenience. When I was there I stumbled upon this cute stuff in Beads/Crafts area

$2.24 pigment storage

It only cost $2.24. I think it's perfect for my eye pigments coz they are taking too much space now. I tried to squish them in this cute little organizer, and I'm glad they fit perfectly!

Pigment Storage

Even my NYX ultrapearlmanias and Chrome eyeshadows fit in : ) I might get a bigger one if my collections grows hehehe

And these are my measuring spoons

Benetton Measuring Spoons : )

isn't it cute? it costs me $1.97 and has a matching colorful measuring cups too but I looked around more and found this

Jet Black Measuring Kits

spoons

cups

Ok maybe it's not as cute but I got this one instead for two reasons (beside the fact that it consists both measuring cups AND spoons), first it only costs $0.97! NOT EVEN A DOLLAR...(how could I not get it?) secondly, it has a very accurate measurements:

1/4 1/8

1 1/2 1/4

2/3 1/3

I found it very handy, you don't have to pop your eyes out trying to get the right '2/3 cup or 1/3 cup'
just like what mom always told me, "It's not always about the appearance, Inan..." hehehe

You're must be wondering, so why did I get the colorful spoons?

Well, besides it's irresistible (hehe) it also has the smallest measurement (1/8 tsp), the black ones ends only at 1/4 tsp.

Doesn't it good to find a good bargain : ) ?

• GoW Mandelic (10%) Marine Serum / 5 ml (i think i'll be needing this soon)

Haul !!! Today I received package from LaurEss where I got 4 blushes from. Along with that I also saw blue envelope from Japan, I thought it was one of my college friend, but it turns out to be from Yuko! Yaaaay !

Yuko also sent me blushes samples with love note too! : )
that's alot, girl...i thought it was only Spiceberry! hehehe thank you so much, I will be trying them out soon.

From LaurEss
They gave me free samples of Radiant Tan which is definitely too light for me :( I have no idea what am I gonna do with it...

Swatches
I included Persuasion from Yuko, it's gorgeous !!!

Exhilaration & Attraction is matte blush, which is very pretty and I think it'll look the healthy 'blushing' cheek. Both Uninhibited and Decadence is from their Candle Light blush line which has very beautiful shimmer, definitely for summer : )

: ) hurray !

Today my goodies from Buff'd arrived :)

I ordered some blushes:

• Crabapple: deep pink with rich red highlights.
• Cinnamon: silky brown with shimmering bronze highlights.
• Winterberry: cool burgundy.
• Crimson: pure regal red.

• Glow: warm autumn gold.
• Chestnut: warm reddish brown.

Hello girls,

Audge hooked me with Polyvore (yes, girl..it's hella fun! ^_^) and I thought it's a great way to find some shopping inspiration.

What is the most important thing for us during summer?
SUNSCREEN, ladies...you might own the pretties bikini in town but if your face is tomato-red from sunburn (not to mention, the skin cancer you might catch from too much sun exposure) doesn't sound fun anymore, right?

So we'd better start hunting for a good sunscreen (fairer ladies should go higher than SPF 30, I believe), and make sure they contain both UVA (anti-aging) and UVB (anti-burning).

Other than that, I'm excited about summer...for me summer is the most colorful season of the year, that's why here I posted my 'pick' for summer days.

Beach Day

Some pretty summery dress I found from Charlotte Russe : ) aren't they gorgeous?

So girls, have fun shopping for the new season, but don't forget your skin!
