Pretty Nails Pt. 1

Cleanser Routine ~

After removing my makeup with my 

Ponds Cold Cream & Wet Cleansing Tissues 

I wash my face with Loreals Go 360

Clean. What attracted my attention to this 

was the silicone scrubbie thing

which a lot of places in asia sell by itself. 

I could never find any

so I was excited to give this product a go. 

I probably wouldnt even have bought it

if it wasnt for the scrublet...

I have the one for sensitive skin.

I massage the cleanser into my face for around

2 mins and as I rinse it off I keep using the scrublet.

I noticed it really gives me the motivation to

pay attention to cleansing my face throughly and 

it makes me just want to keep rubbing away. 

Its soo fun to use ! I was  thinking of

buying a Clarisonic but with a cheap little

silicone thingy , you can still get a 

super clean face.

After using it - I follow it up with my 

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for

Normal/Oily skin to reap all the benefits

of it for my acne prone skin.

The reason for this is that the purpose of the

360 one for me is just to get every last drop

of makeup off.

But, I still need my Cetaphil .

However, in the morning I only use my Cetaphil

with the silicone scrubbie. 

It realllly has helped me keep down my need to

use blackhead pore strips. 

( I use the ones by Etude house BTW.

 They work soo much better 

than the Biore ones ! ) 

Overall - Im loving this routine at 

the moment : )

I also have Kai Cleansing Brushes

which are super great

because if you buy 2

you can just wash your face so easily.

Your pointer finger slips right up

into the little pocket so its great !

Im planning to give one or 2 away in an

upcoming contest.

These are available on sasa.com

Brand Watch : Deborah Lippmann

So, as I look around the internet these days

I keep seeing mentions of Lady Gaga and her grey nails

on the cover of Vanity Fair.

I had a friend post a link on my facebook with a color 

by Lippmann & everyone just seems to want to try

her colors these days.

They are bold, fun but well...quite pricey.

Definitely a luxury nail polish brand.

The names of her Nail Polishes mostly come

from popular songs from the past or present.

Such as "Its raining men" 

The polishes range from about $16 - $20 

At first I was thinking to myself...

why are they double the price of OPI ?! 

Isnt OPI expensive as it is ? 

I was thinking that there really must be

something great about them if they 

are DOUBLE the cost of OPI.

So, I visited the website and the

difference with Lippmann's polishes is that she

infuses them with ingredients

to help your nails and not just cover them.

Things such as Biotin & Green Tea.

So, thats good news... but if I order any online 

it certainly wont be many, as I already have 

similar colors. But, some of the polishes 

are very unique. I do really want to try the 

grey and some of the sparkly colors. 

Im curious about the brush, the drying time 

& how well it goes on. But, I guess
the only way to find out is to try one.

Well, with Seche Vite any polish 

can be great. But,with this price tag

it better be great even without my Seche : ) 

She even created some color with celebs

such as "No More Drama'' Mary J Blige.

Pretty cool.

She actually has a blogspot (woohoo)

which shows a lot of the colors

swatched. The bottles are very modern

and simple & just scream New York City

to me. These polishes I probably wouldnt 

use for Nail Art. I think I'd put them on

when I feel like a more simplistic, 

mature look...which is rare. Haha !

They also have stuff for your cuticles, fast drying top coat

etc.

My Everyday Makeup - What I use

Here are the makeup products I have

been using this summer

& LOVING

My Skin Profile :

-Acne Scars

-Large Pores 

-Slightly Oily 

-Uneven Texture

This foundation is so light weight with just enough

coverage to not look overly cakey.  It doesnt

even feel like Im wearing anything. 

Its medium coverage which is okay.  

Some people say its not enough coverage.

But, for me your would need cement to

cover my flaws so...I cant really complain. 

I love this foundation brush by The Body Shop.

People tend to forget about that store...

They have really nice stuff in there ! 

I set my foundation with the Color Stay 

Pressed Powder. I used to use loose powder

But its just so freaking messy !

Loving this pressed powder. 

When I come home from work, I have

a full face of makeup to remove instead

of just traces left behind. 

It really stays on ! I usually toss it in my 

purse for a go-to mirror and to touch up.

Which I rarely have to do.

I apply the powder with my Body Shop Kabuki.

Its sooo soft. I love it : ) Aching to deco

the handle of this brush. 

These days Ive been lining & tight-lining my eyes

with Mac - Carbon. Im kind of obsessed with it.

I haven't used eyeliner for a while. 

Its great. 

I apply it with this small shader brush by Mac

Its #231. 

Almost every morning I put on this same lipstick.

Revlon - Soft Nude. Such a nice color. 

It always calls out to me over all my other lipsticks. 

I don't usually like Drug Store Lipsticks.

But, I really love this Color Burst line !! 

The color doesnt last that long on my lips 

so I have to bring it with me in my bag. 

Really loving Revlon this summer though.

They are on point !!! 

I put this Etude House 'Top 10' golden lip gloss on top

which really goes great with the nude color.

It kinda reminds me of a Mac Dazzle Glass.

I choose from a variety of different eyeshadows 

each day.  Normally I just keep it super simple

for work. I hate waking up early ! 

My brain doesnt function well enough to use

blending brushes and different shades & colors

to create ' depth' at that hour in the morning !!! 

I lovvve the Maybelline Eye Studio Quads. 

I usually just put a dab of white glittery

eyeshadow from the 'Sapphire Siren' Quad

to brighten up my face.

Before using shadow though I use my Etude House Primer

& Thats it !  

I dont contour, use bronzer, highlighter, blush or

fill in my brows. The only time I wear lashes

is when Im going somewhere special.

I use generic Korean brands.

Some people look great when doing 

all that extra but it really does nothing for me.

I just look too...fake 

Also , I use Michelle Phans method of 

cleansing my brushes - Dish Washing Liquid,

Olive Oil & Water. It works really well !
