*Purple Passion Nails *


Hellooo all =]

So I've decided to share some of my nail 'art' lol.. I have a big interest in nail art and nail painting actually, even though I'm not that good at it xP..




I am not very skilled at all when it comes to painting with my left hand.. do you ladies have taht problem as well?.. lol
My favorite color is purple =] so I love to paint my nails that color x)





I've decided to pain my nails a metallic purple color from Brucci from the drugstore. It's a nice medium shade of purple with a hint of blue tints to it so it makes it look somewhat voilet. =] really pretty!

I added a heart from using white nailpolish and a few coats of clear glitter nailpolish on top. Sorry for the bad quality of the camera... but I hope you all enjoy and have fun with your nails! =]



Stuff I used:
Brucci Nail Polish in Typhoon Lagoon

Brucci clear nail polish w/ reflex glitters

Essie white nail polish

Rules: Answer 10 questions and Tag 10 bloggers.

1. Why did you create this blog?
I wanted to create this blog inspired by Rinny. I wanted to share my love for makeup =] because I'm usually a conservative type of girl, so posting my makeup online would be a greater way to share my looks since I rarely wear them out..xP

2. What kind of blogs do you follow?
I follow mostly beauty makeup blogs, some are from youtubers who have blogs, and some of my subbies too =).

3. Favorite makeup brand?
I don't really have a favorite makeup brand, but I do mostly prefer drugstore over higher-ends since I'm still a college student and living under my mom's roof xPP

*Holiday Look for 2010!!! * =)


Helloooo Everyone!

I know it's been a long while.. again xD since I've updated, but since I'm off for the winter break, I will have a lot more time with you lovely ladies to share my passion for makeup once again ^-^! So Christmas is coming around the corner and I've decided to share my Holiday Eye Makeup that I have come up with =). I have been around YouTube a lot and I noticed that a lot of beuty gurus have made a lot of holiday looks using silver and green.

So I have decided to add my own twist to the typical eye makeup with more of a red look to it. I tried making the look not too red so it's easier for all of types of people to pull it off.

I used mainly 3 colors for this look: a hot pink / bright coral, a subtle gold, and a green eyeshadow color...
From the flash, you can't really tell how dramatic it is, but in other pics you can see my look is more of vivid colors. I know that should've kept it toned down a bit. But hey xD I'm a more dramatic eyeshadow type of girl. I have tried to do other looks light handed sorta with more natural colors, but I don't know why everytime I try I just end up with smokey looks lol. But if any of you ladies would like to try this look out, feel free to tone down the colors. Use a more softer pink instead of a vivid coral, and tone down with a milk green instead of a metalic green.


Stuff I used:
Eyes- a shimmer gold (from a Sephora 84 colors palette~ in the inner corners)
a hot pink blush that I don't use anymore ~as my outer corner color
green eye pencil from Sephora's line~ under my lash line as a base
vivid green color (from Sephora 84 colors palette~ over the green base for pop of color)
white shimmer eyesshadow (Milani's single shadow in Lily White - for inner tear duct)
Black eyeshadow to line my eyes
Falsies (gift by Rinny that's an Asian brand)

Cheeks - my own blushed that I've mixed

Lips - Chapstick
Wet N' Wild lip gloss in Cherish.


Hope you all enjoyed this lovely look! and have a great happy Holidays!!! <3



I know you can't see the green in here too well, so here are some other pics I've added when I was playing with my webcam and had an extra sweater on. =P

"High-End" vs. "Low-End" Products

Hi All =),

So as I was looking through many many YouTube Gurus and even bloggers I have noticed that many girls that are on the web often use "high -end" products, which include everything in Sephora, from Urban Decay, to Too-face, to even to Mac. But what is it that differentiates "high" and "low" ends? Even before I became a college student, I have realized that not all products that are pricey equals good quality. As a cheapster like me who likes to save and find good bargains. I assume most gals who start off with makeup buy their products from the drugstore first, because those where the only cosmetics that we could afford, for me at least. Now, that doesn't mean that I don't have enough money now to buy "higher" ends stuff in Sephora. But sometimes, I dont' really see a need to. Some of my most favorite bargain sites to shop from are Eyeslipsface.com, Cherryculture.com, Coastalscents.com, and also, my local drugstore.

Eyes Lips Face ^

Girls, one of my favorite places to find things are in Eyeslipsface (e.l.f). I know that now the company is spreading their products where you guys may be able to find them in your local Ultas, Target, Rite-aid, and also Mandee. I can not tell you all enough how great most products are on E.L.F with such affordable prices. Yes, I know that their website is sometimes a hit-or-miss, however, their studio line and mineral line I believe are in great quality for only from $3 - $5. If you girls are on budgets and would like to buy makeup brushes, and because they are so pricey from the other higher brands, you can always check out E.L.F's products from their studio line. Their eyeshadow brush and blending brush is pretty good quality for only $1! I also like to shop at the drugstore, mostly looking at Covergirl, Maybelline, and believe it or not, Wet n' Wild. I know that some girls dislike the fact that because certain items are from the drugstore, that they are not good quality. I disagree. I have quite a few products from Maybelline, ranging from their blushes which I like, and their mascaras. I really adore the crayon eyeliners from Covergirl because they are so smooth! I also like the shimmer strips from Wet n' wild that can be used for eyeshadows. Sometimes when I am in a rush, I just use those colors on the palette and the colors are pigmented and gorgeous, and very well worth your money.
Wet N' Wild ^ N.Y.X^


CoverGirl Eyeliner ^ -- I Adore this eyeliner!


I have also heard that many drugstore brands are stepping up their game to improve their qualities that are just as good as the higher ends, like Loreal, or Revlon's colorstay foundation that were also mentioned by popular gurus on YouTube. Actually, some gurus actually try out drugstore brands to see which skin tone makeup suites them best and then they would go to higher end places to find the same color in other brand makeups. I believe it does not really depend on what you're using to achieve that well made top quality look. Like my older post of my roommate's bronze eye look, that forever 21 palette was only for 7$ U.S money, and the quality is really not that bad, depending on how you use it. I will do a review on that palette shortly. I just want you gals to know that I am in no way sponsored by any company, nor get any benefits from telling you all about these brands. I just believe that if you do have a few bucks that you do want to use on cosmetics, especially in this bad economy, you can definitely try to buy a drugstore brand makeup. It will not hurt to try. But for now, I'll just leave you gals with a short thought about pros of "low end" products. Take care =].


Maybelline^ Maybelline^

Wet N' Wild Creme Liner ^ - another good one!
