-Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Airy Fairy
-The Body Shop Tentalizing Lip Butter in Yes Yes Yes!

Nails of some days ago!

Sorry For the blurryness of the picture :S

Hey Gorgeous!

I did those nails a few days ago, and forgot to do a post about it!
It's like a french manicure, but with a twist to it:) I used 4 different colors :
-China Glaze Turned up Turquoise
-Sally Hansen Hard As Nails X-treme Wear Emerald City
-2 little nail art polishes by a random brand ( Mona Co.) to do the blue and the gold lines

It took me quite some times, but it looked great on St-Patrick day :D

That's my post for today, I'll try to post more this week, the passed one have been hard core on me, to many school things to do, I'm a little tired!

Thanks for reading

Lush Haul !

Hello Lovely!


Yesterday, I went to lush because of a main reason. There was a party! I rsvp a week before the event for me and my boyfriend, so we went together :)

Everything was cute, they were serving tea and little tea cookies. Also, every single employee was wearing bunny ears on their heads :)


Our gift were wrapped in black paper, one mine was a pink ribbon with my name, and on my boyfriend's one was a green ribbon with his name. They also choose the product to put in the gift for him! That's cute, they put a lot of attention in their event :)


I'll start by showing you the product we bought first, it's not a lot, I know, I'm mainly waiting for the easter stuff to come actually :



Yes, I know, only 3 things..
On the left, you can see a Ma Bar Bubble Bar;
In the middle there's a Stawberry Feels Forever Massage Bar;
And on the right it's the new Dorothy Bubble Bar, it's smells really good!


Then, the gift. I'll start with mine :


Yes yes, it's CHRISTMAS STUFF! :O How awesome is that!
They've included :
A small Yummy Yummy Yummy Shower cream;
a shimmy shimmy glittery massage bar;
a satsumo santa bath bomb;
and a Fairy Tale sugar scrub! 
That's a great gift, I was expecting one or two items.. Not four with discontinued items! 


Then, in my boyfriend gift :
Oh yes, more christmas goodies!
a lil' lush pud bath bomb;
a second shimmy shimmy glittery massage bar;
a small Happy Hippie shower gel;
and a piece of father frost soap !

Seriously, I'm amazed. 


There's another party next sunday, I'll be going for sure! (and I'll take a look on the easter stuff, I'm really exited for those! )


Thanks for reading!

Haul For my skin!

See the ducky? He wears sunglasses :)
What's up girls?

Today, I went to Costco with my parents, and I was in a huge need of cleansing wipes and of moisturizer. I wasn't really looking for those, but they jump on me yelling '' BUY ME ! BUY ME! '', and as the kind person that I am, I bought them xD. 
I bought, as you can see from the picture, Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion and a huge pack of Kirkland Daily Facial Cleansing towelette ( I heard a lot of good thing about those wipes actually, and 15$ for 150 wipes... That's a STEAL! )

I'll do and update on those product when I'll use them for a little, to let you know if they worked for me and if they were a great buy ( with all the pros and cons about the product, you know, like a review ;)!) 

Oh and, I also got the best snack ever from Costco , they're called Cranberry Almond Thins from THINaddictives, and they taste soo good! They're also only 100 calories per pack, which include 2 or 3 thins, and they do not contain trans fat, which is always a great thing. I wouldn't recommend to eat the whole box at once, but when you feel the urge to cheat on your diet, it's a really good snack :)
Nail polish on is Turned Up Turquoise by China Glaze
Thanks for reading, it means a lot to me!

Meet my furry friends :D

 
Meet Tchoupie and...
 
 
Pedro!

See those little hairy friends? Aren't they cute? I just really wanted to show them to you guys because I love them a lot :)

The dog you saw is a little Cocker girl :) She's 4 years old, and she really love to be pet actually, she's also scared of everything, a little noise and she jump all over the place, looking for safety and scratching you're legs to let you know it... I love her anyway :)

Then the little hamster is Pedro. My boyfriend and I bought it for our 1 year anniversary last november, and he basically live at my house, never to his ''daddy'' 's house :) He's an hardcore hamster.. You should see him climbing on his cage wall and fall down in his hamster food. 

Anyway , that's all I wanted to say :)

Review : China Glaze Shocking Pink

Really lame picture, it's really hard to catch neon polishes ! :'(

Hello Lovely blog Reader!

This is my review on China Glaze Shocking Pink nail polish, and I'm really dad about the picture, but it's the closest thing I got to the true color.. This nail polish is straight up Pink High Light Marker juice, no kindding at all!
What you see on the photo is actually two coat over the China Glaze Strong adhesion Base coat. And people, let me tell you : when I painted the first coat I was afraid, it wasn't going on smooth and neat looking. It was streaky. But Then, I painted the second coat and everything was really fine :) 

I'll actually update this post as soon as I know how long it last on me with the base. It's my first time on both of those, and I was looking crazy for a good base coat because nail polish peel and chip like nothing else on me, I never can leave it on for most than 3 days!
Pros :
-Low Price
-Good quality
-Good consistency
-Pigmented
-There's is hardener in the polish itself 

Cons :
-May be hard to find out of the US ( I swapped for mine, there's no place near me that sell China Glaze )

Packaging : 4/5 It's sleek looking, and you get a good amount of product ( same as OPI, 0.5 Fl Oz ) but not a fan of the brush ._.

Quality : 5/5 The product itself is really good!

Price : 5/5 Let's face it, it's cheap compare to OPI. Yes , the brush is not that good, but you can still use it and get a great looking manicure!

Total : 14/15 . I want to buy those polishes is so many colors now!

Thanks a lot for reading!

-Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Flipside on the waterline

-Which celebrity always has great make up? I love Katy Perry pin up styled make up :)
-If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use? Eye Liner for sure, or I look like a zombie!
