Small brush haul!

Hey Beautifuls,

Today, when I went to check the mail I was surprised to see that my order has arrived!! SOOOO HAPPY! I recently made an order from "The Makeup Mix Shop". There's not a big selection on this site, but what I like about it is that it's free shipping with purchase of $20 and more. It's hard to get things online when shipping is usually sooooooo expensive to Canada!!

Here's what I got...

1. Ecotools 6 piece eye brush set
2. Ecotools retractable kabuki
3. Elf studio powder brush
4. Elf eyeshadow brush

Ecotools brush are sooo much cheaper on the site compared to drugstores. I got the 6 piece eye brush set for $9.99 and the retractable kabuki for $8.50. I believe if I purchased these items in drugstores it would have cost me $15.99 each. I already own a few Ecotools brushes and I absolutely love them! They are sooooo soft!!

As for the Elf brushes... well I've always wanted to tried them out and since my purchase was not quite over $20 yet, I decided to get the 2 Elf brushes. They are AMAZINGLY soft!!! I'm glad that through this site I was able to check them out. I'll still have to see where I can get some Elf brushes, but with a low shipping fee, because I believe it's like $15 just for shipping which is ridiculous!!!! Let me know if anyone knows a website that I can purchase Elf brushes with low shipping fee!!! ^^

Review: The Falsies Volum'Express from Maybelline

Hey Beautifuls,

I went to Pharmaprix a few days ago and saw that Maybelline has come up with a new mascara call "The Falsies Volum'Express". I saw it on sale for $3.99, which was an awesome buy and a great price to try out a new mascara.

What it claims:

• Unique flexible wand helps to lift and separate lashes to provide the look of more lashes
• Patented Spoon brush and Kera-fiber formula instantly build 8x more volume without clumping to complete the false lash look
• Ophthalmologist tested

I only have on Almay eyeliner in Black. So here are my lashes without anything:

And here are my lashes with The Falsies:

My verdict:

• I do love the Spoon brush
• It keeps my curls intact for the whole day
• Does extend my lashes

BUT:

• Does clump if not applied carefully
• Need to apply several coats quickly because it does try out pretty fast

Would I purchase again? Yes, only if it's on sale for $3.99!!! =p

Revlon Nail Polish in Gray Suede & Touch of Mauve

Hey Everyone,

I purchased these 2 shades of nail polish not long and I'm starting to like it! The first one is in Gray Suede. Although the name color suggest that it's somewhat a grayish color, I would say it's more of a nude color. OK, maybe there's a hint of gray in it... ^^ But in certain lighting, I think there's a hint of pink in it too!

Can you see the slight difference in color?!?! None the less, a very pretty color!

Second color that I bought was in Touch of Mauve. I must say the color is very similar to my L'Oreal Paris nail polish in Sand Castle, but there's slight differences. Touch of Mauve is more of a matte color as for Sand Castle is more shimmery.

Now, on to the Sally Hansen beauty tools...

I got the Classic Nail and Toe Clip, and also the Crystal Nail File. They were all at -50% off at Loblaws! ^^ These must be the best clips and file I've ever tried. The clips are so sharp and would not chip and the file makes it so easy to smooth nails. They are AMAZING!!

Lastly, my cute summer dress that I got at Foxy Jeans. Also got this on sale for -50%, I was part of their VIP event and got all regular items at -50% and all sale items at -30%. Too bad I didn't have time that day I went and only got a dress... it's ok, better than nothing! =p

I'm not too good at taking pictures so please bear with me...

One last thing... my mom just came back from Asia and got me some facial masks...
My Beauty Diary on top (from left to right): Sake Yeast Mask, Apple Polyphenol Mask, Black Pearl Mask, Cooling Mask, Natto Rejuvenating Mask and Red Vine Mask!!! ^^

Jewelry

Hi Everyone!

Today I want to share with you other jewelries that I've made myself! Here they are:

This is a two piece jewelry that I made for my brother's wife birthday gift and I suggested her to wear them both at the same time! It's prettier that way.

This one was actually given to my bf's mom as mother/birthday gift. I was sooooooo happy that she loves it! ^^

This one is actually mine! I love it sooo very much. The picture doesn't really represent the prettiness of this bracelet though...

The last one will eventually be a gift for my bf's cousin, who's about 9 years old. The chain is in heart shapes with multicolor butterflies on them. I'm sure she'll love because she's a very girly girl.

Hope you like what I made.
