Oils: Bio-Oil Review

Image
"Bio-oil is a specialist moisturizing oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, aging and dehydrated skin. Bio-oil has won 183 skincare awards and has become the No.1 selling scar and stretch mark product in 17 countries since its global launch in 2002."                                                                                               - Statement taken from Bio-Oil's Website - If you are interested in what kind of ingredients are in this oil, please click here . Because of its great reputation and the fact that I didn't really follow the number of recommended applications per day or the amount of given time needed in order see results, I don't want to completely write this product off as a bad...

If you haven't known already of my love for Lumene products, well now you know that I am a huge fan of Finland's Lumene Company, and I am here today to review their BB Cream from their " Bright Now Vitamin C " Line.

Brushes: e.l.f Essential Eye Brushes Review

Image
On eyeslipsface.com , the company states that their Essential Professional Brush Line are "High-quality, professional brushes".  I wouldn't go as far as to claim these brushes to be the highest of quality, because they are not; they shed, they are not the softest, and their brush-heads tend to fall off the handle. That being said, here are the reasons why I still would recommend them despite all that.  As you may already know, e.l.f has face brushes in their Essential Professional Line, as well as, eye brushes. So why am I not reviewing the face brushes too? Because they are not worth mentioning. In short, don't bother buying them except for the one exception where I will be mentioning further along the post. Now the eye brushes are a different story. If you are just embarking into this wonderful world of makeup and is confused of what kind of brushes you need to start a solid brush set, e.l.f Essential Profession Line allows you to buy a whole range of brus...

Hair Care: Paul Mitchell - Lavender Mint Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner Review

Image
I never thought in a million years I would buy a $15+ shampoo & conditioner, but I caved when my stylist at the time of purchase, pushed the products in my face. I bought it because, one, I really enjoyed the scent and two, she was extremely nice, so I bought it to help her out (she gets commission for every product she sells).  The question is, was it worth every penny or should I have saved my money?  I should have saved my money and here is why...

Hyuna "Bubble Pop" Makeup & LookBook

Image
Hi everyone! Welcome to look #1 of my new Asian Pop Culture Inspired Series. Hyuna is probably in my top 5 list of female artists in Asia. My number one will have to go to Jolin Tsai, from Taiwan, but that is for another time. Hyuna is just a beautiful and sweet young lady, but on stage she is fierce and sexy with huge stage presence. There is something about her I just really like.  Here are some pictures taken from her music video, "Bubble Pop" and its correlating photoshoot. These are some of the outfits I recreated based on how I would wear it.

My Skincare Routine (June 2014)

Image
As I have stated before in one of my older videos, my skincare routine is extremely simple. I don't really believe in using a lot of product on your skin. Something about me being paranoid that my skin would become immune to certain ingredients that when I'm older and in need for more skincare, it won't work on me. This immunity paranoia thing is also the reason why I do not take medicine unless it is necessary. No flu shot for me thanks! But anyways, this is what my skincare looks like. It consists of only these 5 products, and sometimes I would use a makeup wipe or 2. 

Behind the Makings of The Shadow Hunter

Image
You have no idea how long I have been planning this look! Ever since last May, 2014! I had been planning, and planning, and planning, and kept putting off the actually making part. You see, I felt it was too ambitious, and that I wasn't going to be able to create something up to Shadowhunter fans' standards, or even my standards at that. Finally, I decided to just go for it, and I have to say that I am glad that I did, because I am quite proud of what I accomplished.  The question I ask myself when creating a fantasy character is, "What would I look like if I was this or that." And in this case, "What would I look like if I was a Shadow Hunter."
