DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom - The MOST addicting Perfume Scent EVER!

I'm sure you all know about the DKNY perfumes already, but I just feel like I have to make a post about it! (I wonder why I didn't do it sooner...)

the DKNY scents are fresh and floral, and I think the overall scent is very lively and feminine - Which suits my personality really well~ (and also suits the brand really well...DUH~ XD)

I like the original DKNY Be Delicious (the gree one) but I'm not super addicted to it! While the original scent is really fresh and clean, I feel like it's also a little spicier than the Fresh Blossom version of Be Delicious, which I'm not crazy over (the spicy scent I mean...)

The fresh blossom to me is a PERFECT blend of sweetness, cleaniness, and warmth and just refreshes my senses so well!!

I'm not allowed to wear perfume on days that I'm working at the hospital, but other than that I love to have this scent on me all day!!

I currently that the duo roller version of the original Be Delicious and the Fresh Blossom from Sephora:

But I would LOOOOVE to get the full size bottles for Christmas this year!! =D (HINT HINT BOYFRIEND! haha~)

I think the DKNY perfumes are reasonably priced:
They can range anywhere from $40 for the 1.0 fl. Oz
to $72 for the 3.4 fl. Oz at sephora
(not to mention how adorable the packaging is!)

And like I said, these could be great christmas presents for anyone that has a bubbly, happy and outgoing personality!!

Let me know what you think of this if you've had it, or are currently using it! =)

Want to get rid of Chapped lips and scars?? VE can help!!

 

Chapped lips has not been a huge thing that I've had to deal with, but I definitely know a lot of people that has problems with it!

My vocal teacher used to always make fun of us for using chapsticks because they contain alcohol contents that actually works to dry your skin out instead of replenishing them with moisture.

The weather shift from fall to winter is really brutle in Canada, because once the furnace goes on, the air indoors suddenly becomes extremely dry, and that is when I suffer the most from peeling!!

Last week, I accidentally rubbed my lip and it instantly ripped open a huge split on my lips that bled for a couple days! But I have the perfect way of dealing with it!! Vitamin E

yes, Vitamin E is one of those vitamins that we really haven't figured out how exactly it helps your body. But from previous experices I know that Vitamin E is something that you can depend on to help heal wounds and accelerate skin repairment.

If you have chapped lips, dry lips, acne scars, any kind of minor scars, this is what you can do:

Use a Q tip and just dab a bit of Vitamin E oil on it, then spread a thin layer over the surface of your scar or wound or w/e and it'll help it to heal really quickly! and I say scars because it's helped me to reduce the look of breakout scars (yes, I scare easily) on my face!

Please be adviced though: DO NOT USE THIS ON OPEN WOUNDS...you can use this over wounds that have dried out or have a thin layer of newly form skin or even a scab on it (ew gross right? xD) but please do not use this on open wounds!!

One last thought: to obtain the BEST result on lips, you can first apply ONE layer of lip balm and then plaster Vitamin E over it and sleep in them; you'll wake up with the SOFTEST lips ever!! =D

Try it and tell me what you think! =]

p.s. you can use any kind of vitamin E you like - whether it's in capsule form or just bottles of vitamin E oil, they'll all work out fine~

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Day Cream

This is SOON TO BE RETURNED!!
I'm kind of dissapointed in this, because I've been using the V-E eye cream for a while and it was good, but this thing actually made me allergic!!!
The texture was very thick, and there was a strong scent that I just had a hard time tolerating!

I lost the receipt on this product =( so i'm gonna bring it back and see if they'll take it for an exchange for the Seaweed Toner or the Seaweed matifying gel (both of which i LIVE OFF OF!!!)

Have you ever tried this~?! How did it work out for you?? let me know! =)

I'm an Eyebrow Nanny!!

 

My eyebrows are the FRUSTRATIONS of my day!!

If I were ever stranded on an island one day i MUST have an eyebrow pencil with me or i'll go insane.

It takes SO MUCH effort to make my eyebrows look even half decent...and i spend so much energy and time grooming them and correcting them, thus the whole nanny part.

for example, if I could do my makeup in 15 min, I will spend at least 8 min or more of that 15min on my eyebrows than anything else...

I wish I was blessed with good eyebrows that I don't have to invest a lot of energy into making them look good, because eyebrows are what define your face, and all other features on the face. Hey, one reason to like the fact of having a lot of hari on your body right? haha!

Because eyebrows are SO important in framing your features, I don't even have the option of slacking off and getting away with not doing my eyebrows! ><

just FYI...I have extremely thin eyebrows and brow powder will just REFUSE to stick to them, and thus I have to use brow pencils! (brow powder looks so much better!) My favourite brow pencil at the moment is by Gosh and I have the shade in Soft Black.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that's in a situation like this, so I would like to know WHAT'S YOUR FRUSTRATION OF THE DAY?

Pick a feature on your face and let me know how you manage to nanny after your most frustrating moments with them! =)

The most GORGEOUS look I've seen in a looong time!!

 

 

My style is really about being simple and CLASSIC! So when I saw this makeup tutorial on Youtube by Pixiwoo, I thought I HAD to share it!! It was the BEST combination of both worlds for me!!

the look is actually INSANELY simple, but the visual impact that I get from it is like none other.

Pixiwoo sisters are two of my FAVOURITE makeup gurus on Youtube, partly because I think they get SO creative with makeup. It's not the typical aesthetic stuf that everyone else does, but it's more about expression for them and making it look their own. And of course I think there's a lot of common grounds between my taste in some things and theirs.

I think this is what I'll be wearing to my X'mas dinner with friends this year!! and the best thing about this is that you don't need an expensive outfit, a SIMPLE little black dress will serve the look PERFECTLY.

Tell me what you think of this!

Estee Lauder & Co. (MAC!!!) warehouse sale!!

If you're lucky enough to live in Toronto, chances are you know about the MAC (Estee Lauder and companies') warehouse sales! (did you all know that MAC is a Canadian company~!!! =DD)

LOL~ anyhoo! these warehouse sales take place every 3 months (march, june, sept, dec) and this time it's taking place:
DECEMBER 3, 2010 - DECEMBER 5, 2010

now...this is an invitation only event, and as you can see on the ticket (that was mine the last time I went in June) that they restrict the selling of these tickets. BUT!! where there's a will there's always a way~~ and trust me there are TONES of ppl that are selling these tickets around on the internet! (NOT that I'm promoting this!!!)

The discounts are AMAZING!! Last time I was able to get lipsticks for $5 each, and face products for as cheap as $12!!! and you guys remember the old packging giant jars of pigment~?! yea...that was $9!!!

The best thing: They have complimentary gifts EVERY TIME!! (I missed the good gifts last time, but i heard it was lady blush cream blush...O.O)

I ABSOLUTE think this is THE way to go, if you're thinking about doing massive gift give-aways during the holiday season!

If you are a Tdot girl, and if you do get your hand on an opportunity like this! DON'T HESITATE and go for it!!!

P.S. I forgot to mention they have TONES of LIMITED EDITION things there!!! the ones that usually run out like the first 2 hours that sales start, you can be expecting to find them at the warehouse!!

Anyway, if you're going, let me know! or just leave a comment anyway~ =)

Update on 30 day challenge…

Yesterday was the first day that I skipped my 30 day challenge

the reason: because the posts got really repetitive.

Ever since I got beyond the 10th day, I started posting things like: I’ve already done that.

The topics just got really similar to previous posts in the earlier stages of the challenge, and I really didn’t feel like doing something that i’ve already done on my blog…I know how annoying it can be to have these updates pop up in the updates on your home page.

So I’ve decided to stop the 30 day challenge. While is was fun in the beginning, I think the whole challenge lost its value to me.

I’ve also started blogging on LUUUX which dare I say that I’ve been updating very frequently, much more frequently than blogging.

Anyway.

New videos soon…hopefully.

Cheers~!

CAKE BEAUTY = TEMPTATION!!!

 

I should NOT have walked into Sephora today!

After seeing a couple of videos on the Cake Beauty Body Hydrating Moisture Milk, I walked stright over to try it out!

When you spray it, it's a fine watery mist, that's kind of milky white in colour.

It has a very nutty fragrence which I personally do not mind at all.

When you rubb the liquid in, it leaves your skin SOOO SOFT!!

I think it's incredibly moisturizing! My moisturizer now is kind of a little too light for me. But with this added to my moisturizing routine, I think it could just make it PERFECT!!

It wasn't sticky or greasy at all! but just felt like it was very refreshing and my skin just soaked it all up!!

I did not get an allergic reaction on my wrist yet so I can't wait to go back and get a sample to try out!!!

I think the trio with the other shower cream and sugar scrub would be a really good deal too!! ><
