Asian beauty products kick

I've been on an Asian beauty products kick for some time now. Chel had been my personal shopper and has found us great deals for Etude House products.

I ordered the Etude House BB Magic Cream (Purple) in Refreshing for Oily Skin.

I love it!! It does leave my skin looking a tad lighter than it really is but I just put on my mineral loose powder foundation over it and it fixes the problem. My skin looks poreless! It`s not a real foundation that covers up everything but kinda like a tinted moisturizer/primer. It doesn`t make my face seem oily and I don`t have to do any touch-ups during the day.

2nd one is Dr. Mascara Fixer in Natural Lash. The e-bay seller screwed up our order and sent me Natural Lash instead of Perfect Lash which was what I wanted. But good thing Chel`s aunt is sending her Perfect Lash so I`m getting both! The Natural Lash has been really good to me. It has kept my eyelashes curled all day! I can`t wait to see what Perfect Lash will be like!

My co-worker who`s from Japan told me about this Shiseido cleansing kit that she got as a gift while she was in Japan and she didn`t want it. So she offered it to me and of course I said YES!!! It was a kit from the Shiseido Aqualabel White. I wish it was available in the Philippines so I can ask my family to send it to me. They only have it in China, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia.

I have the White Clear Foam, White Up Lotion, White Up Emulsion and White Up Cream in the kit. I used it for the first time last night and I LOVE IT!! I don`t know what I`m gonna do when I run out. =( The co-worker who gave it to me says her dad comes to visit twice a year so she could get me another kit when he comes!

Je suis désolé Part 2

Just a word of caution, this post is even more pic heavy than the last one!!

This is the 7th Konadicure I had done on Christmas Day while watching The Big Bang Theory Christmas Marathon!! :)

I started off with China Glaze in Coconut Kiss. Such a beautiful purple but as purples go, they NEVER photograph well!! I took pictures of the swatches with my Blackberry cam and my digi cam.

Taken with my Blackberry cam with flash.

 Taken with my digi cam, no flash, natural light.

As you can see with my digi cam it looks more blue than it really is in real life! The image from my Blackberry cam captured it the closest.

So of course I had to Konadicure it up using Color Club in Worth the Risque and image plate m63. Worth the Risque is another Stamp Champ!

Ali's Big Break

One of my nurse friends has given me a Deluxe Nail Salon with 7 polishes and a hand dryer! The person who was solely responsible for bringing me into the world of Konad had gifted me with OPI My Private Jet to my utter delight!! My loving boyfriend had, along with other gifts, given me a shopping spree at Sally's! I got 3 China Glazes: Coconut Kiss, Avalanche and Reggae to Riches, and a curling iron! Finally, I had also gotten 5 Konad image plates from 2 other friends.

My Puppy has also been kind enough to pick up these marvelous items for me at her recent Buffalo trip.

From left to right:  OPI Designer Series in Extravagance (which I am so excited to use!), Seche Restore (which I sorely needed) and Color Club in Electronica (a dupe for the OPI Ink I gave her).

I will also be receiving an Etude House Dear Darling Bling Bling nail polish sometime in the next 2 weeks thanks again to my Puppy! It's a gorgeous pink! I'm super excited!

This should learn me to update my blog more often! Sorry for the overload!!

'Til the  next Konadicure!
