Eureka Moment: Ungrip Your Phone!




Funny how this simple thing that I put on my phone can call so much attention!  Can you see it?
Well, the lovely strap on my phone is called Ungrip!

My phone has flown and fell on the floor so many times I can't keep track --- Joys of being a mom to a Tornado...ahem, I mean...Toddler!

There are so many "phone grip" products in the market but nothing caught my attention until I saw the brand Ungrip!

Without saying much, the wide range of colors and designs won me over!

So You Think You Want To Throw Away Etude House Cookie Blusher's Powder Puff? Read this!




Did you know that the Etude House Cookie Blusher aren't just cute to look at?  I've shared my love for these Cookie Blushers when I reviewed the shade Carrot Cheesecake and featured Peach Parfait in one of my "looks" tutorial.

That's why during my most recent Etude House visit, I can't help but pick another shade to add in to my "Cookie Blush" collection, this time, the shade is called Peach Choux Wafer.

Peach Choux Wafer is a muted matte peach pink shade.  It works so well on Fair to Medium skin, girls with darker complexion can still use this but this will come off as a face highlighter.

Now this blog post is not just about how Peach Choux Wafer looks on me, this blog post is focused on the cute blush puff that comes with the product.

Burt's Bees BB Cream Review




I have reviewed so many BB creams on this blog but one brand that REALLY excites me is the arrival of Burt's Bees BB Cream.  Quite late (in my humble opinion) but there could be a reason why they came in super late when other brands graduated to CC and DD and "whatever double-letter" creams!

Burt's Bees, as you all know, is all about NATURAL.  From the packaging down to their ingredients, this is one of the "shortest ingredients list" I've seen in a BB Cream by far!

That could be the reason why they take this long to master their BB cream!  It must work at the same time, must commit to the Burt's Bees "natural promise".

And this particular base makeup from the brand did not disappoint, it's 98.9% natural and comes with 9 Benefits (and more!)

Intrigued???

New Zoya Professional Lacquer Shades I'm Loving!





My nails are back!  Well, not really!  I haven't been posting much about nail polishes ever since I had a baby is because for the fact that I'm making sure whatever I put on my fingernails are safe not only for myself but for my kid!  

There are only a few safe brands of polishes left that I really wear on a daily basis, you all know my love for GirlStuff, Solique and now I'm sharing to you my next safe polish brand fave --- ZOYA.

If you are expecting or breastfeeding, this is a polish brand I also highly recommend.  Zoya Nail polishs are free from Big 5 (Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene and Camphor.)

And just in case you want to know my current favorite shades for the season...here you go...

Let's start with my top most favorite shade out of the 3.

Make Up For Ever x Icona Pop Lipstick Line





According to Dany Sanz, Founder & Artistic Director of Make Up For Ever ---
"Lipstick is to makeup what the last brush stroke is to painting... the ultimate, perfectly contained touch of color that completes the work of art.  And just like in art, makeup artists need an infinite palette of colors.  This is why I have developed such a wide range of new ARTIST ROUGE lipsticks, I always want to give makeup artists a profusion of shades and textures to sublimate and create their perfect piece of art."


Thank you so much Ms. Dany!  You pulled an arrow straight to my heart!

That's how Mikki and I felt when we saw the Artist Rouge Lipsticks all lined up in front of us to play, swatch, mix and match!
