Mini Blog - Changing up your *eye* candy - let's go *DoLLy*

HeLlOoOo My LoVeLiEs!!!

It's been a while since my last post, mainly because I was hoping to leave up my *giveaway* post as the main attraction for my blog a little longer, but I think it's time for a little mini blog update!!!

I've been super anxious to try out these circle lenses that so many bloggers have been raving about!!! I purchased a few pairs more than half year ago && still was nervous to try them out hehe... I'm all for natural beauty, but I think that these lenses are a fun way to *animate* yourself.  I wouldn't use these for an everyday/all day look just because I am still a bit skeptical of it being safe for your eyes.  But I definitely think they are a great way to *DoLLy* up your eyes && add a KaWaII *TwiNkLe* to them (^.*)


Here's a few pics of an older style lens that I tried out: 
Geo XCM-215 Super Size Angel Grey
 (purchased from pinkyparadise.com)

Close up (>.<) 

Please stay tuned for a full review on Tsubasa's Bambi Series - Princess Mimi Circle Lenses!!! I will take you on a step by step process on how I make wearing circle lenses work for me (^.*)  
Because I'm not a experienced contact lens wearer && don't need them for medical reasons either, getting used to these circle lenses sure was and still takes a lot of time...you will most def read about my struggles && small triumps (x_O)

OPI - Serena Williams Grand Slam + Punch && Lemonade Summer Polish Look

HeLLlOOoOO My LoVeLiEs!!!

OPI Does it again, && follows the *in* trend of sparklies!!! With OPI's Serena Williams Grand Slam Series, they are introducing the *sparklie* color named *Servin' Up Sparkle* !!! I say it is a comparable dupe to the *Can Make* sparklie top coat!!! It's about time OPI got on the sparklie wagon && following in the Asian fashion trend of sparklieness!!! YaYyyyY!!!!

The beautiful royal purple they introduce in this line is called *Grape...Set...Match* 

It's a super rich color!!! Can't wait to try it out!!! Here's a few pics && swatches of the colors && color combos!!!  But since I just painted my nails with a purple sparklie theme before the launch of this line I am trying something a little different for my nail look this week!!! I guess I was slightly ahead of the nail game this time (^.*) hehe!!! 

1. Grape Set Match w/ Servin Up Sparkle,  2. Serving Up Sparkle,  3. Grape Set Match

I also wanted to share with you all a new summer line from OPI called *Nice Stems* It's a line of pinks and also includes a fun pink sparklie polish that has glitter chunks && iridescent glitter flakes as well, it's a total win win for a sparklie lover like me!!! 

1. I Lily Love You,  2. Be a Dahlia Won't You,  3. Come to Poppy,  4. Play the Peonies

So much color combos to play with && the pinks are just in time for summer, totally lovin the bright && coral colors!!!  They also thought of those summer weddings with the *Play the Peonies*, I'd say it's the perfect bridal color!!! 

Here's the look I came up with, following the trend of painting my *ring* finger a different color (^.~)
My BFF/Sister introduced me to this idea && I must admit it's super fun!!!
I used *Be a Dahlia Won't You* from the Nice Stems Line && Can Make's Bright Yellow Sparklie Lemon Polish as my *ring finger* color hehe

I say nothing says summer like bright colors!!! This is my *Punch && Lemonade* look (^.*)

Sorry for soOoOo many pictures, I just wanted to try and capture the BRIGHT pinkness of this color, it's the most vibrant hot pink OPI polish that I own!!! It's a must have if you love bold && bright pinks!!!
In person, this color looks even better (^.*) It's that amazing hehe!!!

I'm almost to my goal of 50 followers!!! I'm so excited to launch my giveaway!!! 

Thank you for stopping by && please come back soon!!!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July Weekend!!!!!!

ps. check out this cute giraffe cookie that my friend made for me!!! He's just too cute to eat, but after I took a picture I just had to try this sweet treat out hehe (^.*) 

KiSsSs your cracked lips GoOdByeEee!!!

HeLlOoOo My LoVeLiEs!!!

A common problem that I face is dry and easily cracked lips.  I prefer the nude, baby-soft pink tones for lipglosses && I really appreciate the thicker && longer lasting stickiness of  various lines of glosses (Personal FAV = MAC).

However, because my lips peel, the lighter toned lipglosses show the loose skin && conflicts with the thick stickiness of the gloss.  This bothers me for some reason because I want that flawless smooth shine hehe!!! 

I tried the quick && easier way of applying moisturizer before my gloss but depending on the gloss color, the loose skin still shows through && creates an uneven texture on my lips.

So, instead, I tried applying moisturizer to my lips before I go to sleep so that it can "go to work" while I'm sleeping.  For me, I need this extra treatment time so that my lips can be fully moisturized.  It's really wonderful because I can wake up with smooth lips ready to be glossed && left with a super silky smooth shine (^.*)

Here's my top three *go-to* moisturizers that I use:

Moisturizer 1 - Paul & Joe Alice in Wonderland Special Edition Lip Treatment Stick 

Moisturizer 2 - MAC Lip Conditioner Stick SPF 15

Moisturizer 3 - Lioele All Night Moisture Lip Essence 

For *Night* use, I will sway more to the Lioele Lip Essence just because it is almost like vaseline, with a very thick consistency that will last && moisturize throughout the entire night.  Also has a fruity jolly rancher candy scent. 

The MAC Lip Conditioner is great, especially as a lip protector from the sun because it does have SPF protection from UVA/UVB.  Also has a light vanilla scent. 

The Paul & Joe Lip Treatment Stick is also very effective as it is cute (packaging sucker), it soothes && smooths to create a softer lip.  On non-lipgloss days, I use as a touch up treatment to add moisture to my lips throughout the day.

I would say I like them all equally because they all do their number one job of *Moisturizing*, but also have individual advantages as well.

I highly recommend using moisturizers if you suffer from the same easily crackable lips like mine!!!

Protect those luscious lips && give them the silky smooth shine they deserve (^.*) 

Till next time, please keep following!!! 

I feel a giveaway in the near near future (*^^*) !!!

Fashion Sweet Tooth (^.~) - *have your cake && wear it too*

HeLlOoOo My LoVeLiEs!!!

I can honestly say I am not so much of a *Sweet Tooth* and rather eat savory foods, but when it comes to *eye-candy*, I found a brand that I fell head over heals in love with!!! 

Introducing a line of eye-catchingly delicious jewelry && accessories that really looks good enough to eat!!! 

Q-Pot is a Japan based && designed brand by Tadaaki Wakamatsu. 

Here's the translated concept from their website:

Q-pot. is a “communication tool” that connects one person to another.

We create “Positive Accessory”, that those who wear them and as well as those who see them can enjoy and feel happy.

Q-pot. = Mysterious pot

No one knows what will jump out of it.

We believe that when a kind heart and a big smile spread across the world, there can be “PEACE”.

Everything is super *KaWaii* with such detailed realistic craftmanship!!! When I visited the Q-pot Boutique in Ala Moana Shopping center in Oahu it literally looked like a high end bakery delicatessen!! I wanted to take pictures of this wonderful place but photography was not allowed.

Imagine, Willy Wonka's candy wonderland with a million and one ounces of cuteness!!! 

A lot of the pieces are made to look so realistic.  When I use my Q-pot pieces, people often have a double-take because although it would be strange to have a chocolate covered banana slice on my phone, it just looks THAT REAL!!!  hehe (^.*)

Here's a few of the things that I own, again, I'm a sucker for packaging && Q-pot's packaging is so fittingly cute && compliments their designs well!!! It just makes me so happy to look at these fun accessories, they always bring a smile to my face (*^^*)

Tooth Phone Charm (can be used as necklace pendant too, love it's versatility) 

Ice-Cream Scoop Ring 

Choco-Covered Banana with Mini Ice-Cream Scoop Necklace

Only bummer thing, Q-pot can only be purchased online if you are a Japan resident.  They do have many store locations across the world though (*^^*) 

Boutique locations can be found in Hawaii, New York, Los Angeles, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Lebanon, France, Spain, Australia, && of course different parts of Japan!!!  

Here's the link to their webpage, check out their super yummlicious creations!!!

Hope you all are having a *SuGarY sWeET* week!!! 

Please stay tuned to more reviews, hauls, && a giveaway!!!

New Natural Feathers, Periwinkle Sparklies, && Ekilove!!!

HeLloOO my LoVeLieS!!!

Just wanted to share with you some updated pics of the natural feathers I've been sporting thanks to *Little Maiko Boutique*!!!  Because my natural hair color is a dark dark brown, the natural stripes, blondes, && reddish browns really pop out to add that element of surprise within your hair!!! I love it!!! So easy to apply && gives some character to your hair!!!
**If requested, I will do a step by step tutorial on how to apply the feathers to your hair.  

My nail color combo of the week is what I call a periwinkle sparklie look (^.*) I originally was going to do a bubblegum/cotton candy ice shave look using the blue shatter && a bright pink but when I started to paint my nails I was feeling for a softer look vs. the edginess that the shatter gives!!!
(next week I shall use the shatter.. pics to come!!!)

** The purple color i used is called *Planks a Lot*  from the OPI Pirates of the Carribean line, check out my OPI POTC blog post in the *archives* to see the other super nice vibrant pastel colors from this line!!!

I also wanted to share a few pieces that I picked up from *Eki* at her handmade store!!!
