Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze


Happy to finally get my hands on this Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. Every store I went to didn't have any in stock. But I didn't give up my search there was one left at Rite Aid. Yay! I'm glad I picked up this color. I wanna get some more when there's sales on these babies!


Maybelline Color Tattoo's are a cream eyeshadow that’s supposed to last up to 24-hour without creasing or fading. Now I don't know about you but who wants there makeup to last up to 24-hours? I did however put this cream shadow to the test! I find that is lasts me until I remove my makeup. It only crease on me once because I had my makeup on for way too long. But it wasn't as bad as Urban Decay Primer Potion. This really holds up on my oily lids, which I'm surprise. You also have to work with it, because it sets in. I had to work fast, so I can blend it out in the crease around.


This beautiful metallic bronze shade is prefect for summer. It's super pigmented. I have been using this Color Tattoo almost everyday. I apply with a flat brush and blend out the edges with a blender brush.

Here's a hand swatch.


I find that these Maybelline Color Tattoos are a bit tough to remove. What seems to work for me are Costco's Kirkland Makeup Wipes. They remove even water-proof mascara. Eye makeup removal works well too!

In the below picture I'm wearing Bad to the Bronze.



 I also have another Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe, review here.

I would love to know below what cream shadows you guys are loving?

Dior Nail Lacquer in Pink Graffiti

Natural light w/o flash
It's been a while since I last updated a NOTD! I'm finally getting back on track and they'll be more coming soon! But for today I have a very special nail lacquer that I won from Shop N' Chomp. If you love fashion, shopping and food check out her blog!


The color is in 667 Pink Graffiti. I love this color! It's a very vibrant, bright pink nail lacquer. Also this nail lacquer seems quite opaque. It took me about two coats to achieve this color. What I also love about this is the wide brush. It helps make application easy. It dries to a glossy finish. No top coat because I ran out of Seche Vite. :(

With flash
  From what I know this color is from the Anselm Reyle Collection, which is limited edition so might not be available for long.


These are the prizes I received. I was super happy to see all these cute extras. Strawberry Pocky is my fave! Thank you so much! ^_^

Birchbox: July


This month Birchbox has teamed up with Glamour to create this summer senses. See it, hear it, taste it, touch it, and smell it.


Let's see if my sensory goes into over drive. So far looking good!


Color Club Nail Lacquer in Blue-Ming. I'm loving that I get another nail polish! Also loving this color, great for summer! Very vibrant green-turquoise color, can't wait to paint my nails and toes with this polish!


Gloss Moderne High-Gloss Masque. Never tried out a hair masque before, so this will be my first. It states that it's vitamin-rich conditioning complex restores bounce and shine. Just what I needed too!


Harvey Prince Eau Flirt. Notes of fresh citrus, jasmine, lavender and pumpkin. Smells pretty good! Happy to receive another Harvey Prince fragrance.


Manna Kadar Sheer Glo Shimmer Lotion. Very pretty illumining lotion, which you can mix with your foundation or apply as a highlighter to cheeks and browbones. So gonna be adding this to my cheeks and browbones! ^_~


Suki Balncing Kit. Claims it's an all-in-one set calms and purifies troubled skin. I'm surprise there's a lot to this set, so can't wait to see what it can do for my troubled skin!

*Extras*


Larabar Uber Roasted Nut Roll. Looks good and can't wait to bite into it!


Earbuds How cute! Just what I needed! The only thing that sucks is the sound quality.

Over all I'm pretty happy with this box!

Also if you like sweets check out my other blog Sugar-Coated Delights!

Mini Haul!


So sorry I haven't been blogging lately. Just haven't had anything to blog about. When the weather gets hot I find myself not going online much. But have no fear I'm here to bring you a mini haul. 

Picked up three things from Rite Aid a few days ago. 

1. N.Y.C. High Definition Liquid Eyeliner
2. Oral-B Complete Toothbrush
3. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze

Ran out of my fave liquid eyeliner (L'oreal Lineur Intense) so thought I give the N.Y.C. one a try. It's a Felt Tip, so can't wait to use that! ($3.99)

Needed a new toothbrush (simple as that!...lol) I actually love the Oral-B line!

I was dying to give this Maybelline Color Tattoo a try for the longest! I seen this in so many blogs and I was jelly! lol (Wearing it today and I'm already loving it!) Most likely this will be my go-to cream shadow for this summer!

Well that's all for now! Look out for some more post coming soon!

Birchbox: June


So it has been a full year of receiving Birchbox and I'm happy to say I've stuck through this year without having to cancel my subscription. I'm pretty happy about all the products received maybe some I didn't like so much but it was no biggie. This box is full of really cool stuff, as you can see. So let's get to it!


The first item I automatically noticed were these Band-Aid Brand design but Cynthia Rowley. These dress up Brand-Aids are super cute, is it bad for me to say I can't wait to get some cuts?...lol


I'm pretty excited to try out this Masqueology Pore Minimizing Mask! It states that it minimizes the visible appearance of pores, refines skin's overall texture and appearance. Plus it's made with Mushroom Extract. I've never tried these types of mask before so I can't wait to use it! I'm also glad that this item is Made in Korean. 


theBalm Stainiac in Beauty Queen is a lip and cheek stain. I've tried it out on my lips and so far I'm loving it! It's a really pretty flush red color, that doesn't go on so strong so you can build this color up. Can't wait to try it out on my cheeks!


The next item up is Melvita Rose Floral Water. It's an organic mist, which works as a light toner and skin refresher. This item will really come in handy for me this summer, still I know I'm going to be hot and in need for a fresher-upper!


The last item is Juliette Has a Gun. Not a Perfume features a single ambery note. This states that it's allergen free. It smells pretty good, I like it! Doesn't have a strong smell so that's a plus!

So I'm pretty happy about this box, I think I'm more happy about receiving designer Band-Aids...lol 

I'm also happy to say this is my 100th Blog Post! Yay! Thanks guys for sticking with me! I'm grateful for all the love you guys keep giving me! ^_^
