Majorlica Majorca ~ my everyday mascara routine

As many of you might have noticed already,  I have NO lashes lol! Majorlica Majorca mascaras are probably the best ive come across yet they barely made my lashes noticeable (while a lot of gurus out there use them for crazy japanese doll dramtic effects) Enough said, I want to show you my everyday mascara routine.

Curl my lashes with Shu Uemura eyelash curler
Apply mascara

Use Panasonic eletronic eyelash curler to comb thru my lashes once

Done!

If i want to go for a more dramatic look Id go for the left one
If i want to go for a natural look then id go for the right one

Definitely want to buy more <3

ELF Haul

The nearby Target finally has ELF stuff

most impressed with the studio brush

the rest are so-so, but not too bad for the price

Contouring Blush & Bronzing Power (very cheap for $3)
Complexion Perfection (pretty bad quality for pressed powder, too light for my skin)
Brightening Eye Color in Sliver Lining 91106
Studio Eyeshadow "C" Brush (love it! will probably buy more from the studio line)
Professional Eye Shadow Brush (not too bad for $1)

Falsies
Darkness from HMart (Love the quality for the price)
ELF from Target (havent tried out yet)

In conclusion, I dont need to buy all expensive makeup to make myself happy. I have been cutting down my spending and trying out a lot of so called drugstore products lately and I am very pleased with the results. It really depends on if you have the time to try new things out. Of caz, I still believe its a bigger risk of investing in sucky products, but overall I really enjoy the experience/experiment haha

Last but not least, as promised from the last post

i was having too much fun and forgot i needed to take pictures

the only picture - blurry

and here are the jessica simpson ones

hehee the T-Storm is gone! Enjoy the weather <3

Shoes arrived!

my order from Nordstrom came today wohooo! they both fit very well and are very tall, which i love! i am keeping them yay yay :D

 1) Been lemming for many months to get a pair of super high heels in natural color. these are nine west from nordstrom. so comfy!

2) Typical heels I like. high platform, rock and roll, black and zippies. these are jessica simpson and they are surprisingly well made. never expected nice shoes from jessica simpson (either other stuff-_-). the leather straps are super soft too!

Weekend is here! New York here I come!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone xoxo

Current Fav Masks

Scary, uh? Hahahahahahhaa Sorry I didnt mean to scare you! i love this picture

I use a lot of paper masks. they are so convenient. In my opinion, paper masks arent that different after all but they are essential to keep our skin hydrated, brightened, nourished and clarifed. No instant result is seen after using one paper mask. its not magic but more of a habit (a good one yay).

I consumed quite a lot of paper masks during winter time because the New England weather is just soo dry, even 3 or 4 per week? My skin barely survives. Not so much in the summer, maybe once every 2 weeks or so? I am lazy and I dont want to be greasy (rhyming? FAIL)

I love having paper masks on. its so relaxing. Though I need to make sure I dont watch something funny, they would slide when I move my face too much :)

Here are what my current fav ones:

My Beauty Diary
Need not to say much. Lots of "flavors", pretty good quality yet cheap, my fav one is chocolate!

Skinfood Fruit series
natural, moisturize and brighten skin, also has peach and other flavors
Unknown Korean brand
the cheapest, have five different types (blue, purple, black, yellow and orange), very moisturizing for its price, stock up everytime i see them

Etude House fruit series and Hydro Wrapping masks
nothing really special for the fruit ones besides its packaging and smells
Meanwhile, the hydro wrapping ones are super moisturizing and nourishing, the paper contains more fiber which helps the masks lock the ingredients relatively well, my fav out of all

Limi Gel masks 

rarely use these. pretty useless but got tricked by the packaging, smell like red wine and cucumber as claimed

Laneige and Limi Sleeping masks
use them after all your skincare procedures and before you go to bed. stay on over night. best for laziest people like me. I used to love the laneige one but it doesnt do anything to my skin anymore. As you can see the packaging is real old. yes because I have had it for real long.
My new fav sleeping mask is by Limi, its 10 times better than Laneige.
 

*sorry been away from home and not be able to put new pics up. I am going to do the winner of my giveaway real soon. thank you all soooo much for the support  *tears down
