Too Faced Cosmetics and ***GIVEAWAY*** (Ends Feb. 14th)

I have two products from Too Faced in my makeup case that I currently own and like to use.
The first product I would like to show you is a blush stick.

Too Faced Blush Stick - "Who's Your Daddy?"

Too Faced Blush Stick ("Who's Your Daddy?") swatched heavily.

 I originally bought this for my sister but she didn't use it so it came back into my possession. :P
I really like it.
The matte shade is definitely great for shading the cheeks. I use the pink shimmery side as a highlight for my cheeks. Sometimes I mix the two colors together which makes it a bit customizable.
It glides on creamy at first but sets into a powder-like feel (semi-matte).

Its fairly easy to apply. Simply dab it onto the cheeks and blend in with your fingers (or brush if you prefer).

Would I repurchase?
Yes, although I still have a long ways to go before this blush stick is finished! O_o


The second Too Faced product I currently own is the "Lash Injection" mascara.

Lash Injection "Pitch Black" (Color: Black)

I like how this mascara's shade is very black like it claims. This mascara is supposed to make your lashes look like lash extensions but I mainly just like it because of the big wand. I don't like to spend a lot of time doing my makeup and so I like how I can just brush my lashes once or twice with this huge mascara wand and get most of my lashes coated. Of course its hard to reach the lashes in the corners but I'm okay with not having every single lashes coated with mascara.

So now for the fun part...

Apothica is generously offering one of YOU a chance to win a $25 gift card which can be used at SkinCareRx.com, Apothica.com, and SkinBotanica.com.

For those of you who don't know, Apothica is an online beauty boutique that carries a lot of popular cosmetic brands that I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with. I'm glad to see that they carry a good selection of Too Faced Cosmetics like mentioned above. Apothica also offer brands like Voluspa (luxury candles, fragrances and body products), and Jurlique (natural body and skin care products).

Special Shout Out to Farmgirl!

Look what I got!!! :)
I got a package from Farmgirl! She had an Easy Peasy Giveaway and I was lucky enough to win! How exciting! I love the packaging! Farmgirl is always nice to talk to and has tons of neat makeup and skincare tips on her blog, Brilliant Farmgirl's Beauty Secrets. I love how she likes to use makeup which are made up of more simple and natural ingredients. I should start doing that because it sounds like its going to be so much better for my skin. :P Check out her blog! She has great reviews and might have more giveaways on "Farmgirl-approved" products in the near future.

Top Left: 100% pure Fruit Pigmented ultra lengthening mascara in Black Tea
Top Right: juice Beauty Oil Free Moisturizer
Bottom Left: juice Beauty Green Apple Peel for Sensitive skin
Bottom Right: smashbox O-Glow Cheek color

I love how every single item is made from organic ingredients or have some sort of natural antioxidants that are healthy for the skin.
Farmgirl was also nice enough to include some Georgio Armani products:

Top: luminous silk foundation by Giorgio Armani (4.5)
Middle:luminous silk foundation by Giorgio Armani (5.5)
Bottom: rouge d'armani lipstick (beige 100, rouge 400, pink 500)

Its so cute how the lipstick samples come with a tiny lip brush.

THANK YOU SO MUCH Farmgirl!!! Made me really happy! :)

Join to win LNA Zipper Leggings from ChicInTheTropics & ChicDowntown!

ChicInTheTropics just turned 23 today!  Happy Birthday!!!!
and to celebrate, she's having a giveaway! ChicInTheTropics paired up with ChicDowntown and they are giving away LNA Zipper Leggings! I hear its quite popular amongst the celebrities ;)

I love leggings! I just wanted to share a couple of my favorite leggings :)

These pictures where taken a while ago.. It gets pretty hot here and so the only time I get to wear a lot of leggings is during winter :P I usually like to wear a lot of shorts and skirts but they get too cold to wear in the winter sometimes so I pair them with leggings.

Sorry this picture's a bit blurry... but these are my ultimate favorite pair of leggings :P People have asked me if they could touch my leggings just because they look pretty unusual but the most frequent question I get asked is whether my legs were actually TATTOOED... Crazy! I wouldn't be able to stand that much pain! haha :P

So, if I had the LNA Zipper leggings, I would probably wear it with dresses, long tunics, mini skirts/shorts! :)

If you live in the U.S, don't forget to follow ChicInTheTropics and join her giveaway!

CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO...GIVEAWAY ENDS: OCTOBER 5, 2009 (10PM EST)!!!

Win a Konad B Kit by KonADDICT!!!

KonADDICT is hosting a great giveaway! Everybody can participate in this giveaway, even if you don't have a blog of your own, plus Konad is always fun to win so why not?
Thanks to Natalie from Nani Nails to share this information and help spread the word out :)

(Image credit: here)

I'm sure a lot of you already know what Konad Stamping Nail Art is already but for those who don't know, it is a nail-imprinting kit that lets you stamp different designs from image plates and onto your own nails!

I really like the Konad Stamping Nail Art as you can tell from the picture above :P
I tried to fit as many different designs at once just to see how many variation I can come up with :) Its pretty fun and addicting actually... :P
Sometimes I like to try and paint my own designs on my nails but I wouldn't be able to have the patience to paint something so intricate like some of the designs the Konad image plates offer.

I also like how you can use these stamping designs other than on your nails (ex. cell phones, sunglasses, etc).

If that didn't convince you enough, you should check out the KonADDICT blog and get some inspiration from some of the beautiful and creative designs she's come up with using the Konad Stamping Nail Art :)

Favorite Jewelry Item

This post is specifically for Stephanie's first Giveaway:

Stephanie is quite crafty and creates many pretty jewelry pieces. You should check out her neat little store!
You can find her blogs below:
Always Hungry
Steph's Stuff

Rules for Stephanie's giveaway are to subscribe to both her blogs and write about your favorite jewelry item (you can write about your favorite fruit if you don't wear jewelry... how cute!). I believe that the giveaway is extended to 12:00 a.m. PST-June 16, 2009 (Tuesday).

I have so many favorite jewelry items but here is a picture of one of my favorite jewelry pieces. :) It is a crystal key pendent with a heart-shaped theme? on a thick chain. I like how you can use either clasp depending on whether you want to wear the chain shorter or longer ;)


I bought it from a random thrift store. It was quite cheap actually...
So that's one of the main reasons why it is my favorite: a pretty item for a great price! I had to dig amongst all the other weird things they had for sale in that thrift shop and so when I first laid my eyes on it, it felt like I had found hidden treasure... :P hahaha!

And here, Stephanie, a picture of me wearing my favorite necklace for u :P Hope you like! :P
