Haul : Forever 21 accessories

 Bejeweled Bow Connector Ring $5.80 - Sparkling bow connector ring studded with rhinestones

AHH this ring is soooooooooooo pretty!!!!! This is the first "connector ring" that I ever bought and I Loveeee it.  I always thought that these rings will be uncomfortable and heavy.. and didn't understand how people wore them.. but I was wrong hehe!  The silver one is not as pretty as the gold one.. i think hehe



 Rhinestone Cross Earrings $1.50 - fish hook back and a high polish finish.  Lightweight.

I'm seriously obsessed with cross earrings.  Everytime I see cross earrings I end up buying them.  I think this is my favorite pair of cross earrings now!



 Pendant Necklace $2.80 - Blue tear drop pendent, also available in white, black, brown

Wow.. pretty pretty pretty.. can't believe it was only $2.80!!! Right when I saw this blue pendent, I fell IN LOVEEEE.  The other colors didn't seem as pretty as this one!!!  I love wearing solid color shirts whenever I wear small pretty necklaces like this so that it will stand out hehe



 Natural Beauty Necklace $1.50 - rose, pearlescent and bead charm. Cable chain. High polish finish.

I LOVE long necklaces.  This was the last one left, so I had to buy this one with a few pink marks on it (looks like nail polish or something).. but no worries! I think it will probably come off with nail polish remover!  I didn't know.. but I just saw on their website that they have a baby pink one in this too! I posted the pink one down below!!  I am going to buy it!!!



 Satin Bow Set (bottom picture too) $1.50 - Satin bow set features one solid color and polka dot print.

I love Bows... bows.. bows!!!  I wear bows whenever I pin up my bangs to the side like in this photo.  I like the satin texture of this bow.



The polka dot one is pretty too!




Product Rating : ★★★★☆

Since these jewelry are pretty cheap.. you know.. the colors will be changing soon.. so I gave it 4/5 stars hehe.. other then that.. they are great and I love them! 




I'm going to buy this one soon! ♥

Nail Polish : Pure Ice Twilight ♥

When I use to live in Texas, I use to always buy Pure Ice nail polish at walmart.  Walmart is like the only store that carries this brand.  The price, colors, quality are GREAT! 

Pure Ice - Twlight is my favorite one from there. 

It is a very pretty light coral color with some golden shimmers mixed in it.  Coral color is a big trend for this year and also a very pretty summer color!  It goes sooooo well with my asian skin tone color ^___^.  I remember it cost about $3.. not bad compared to other nail polishes that cost $8-$10. 


Product Rating : ★★★★★
Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE ♥ I applied 2 coats, but even ONE coat is so pretty!
You can't really tell from the picture, but if you actually look at the nail polish bottle, you will see gold shimmers inside.



 

Here you can see the size comparisons for the Pure Ice vs. O.P.I.  It's a square shape.




Makes my hand look bright and a "cool"~~ summer feeling look hehe



Pure Ice - Twlight

Bari Cosmetics is the company that makes Pure Ice Nail Polishes.  They did not sell their products on their website before, but recently they started selling them on their website but in a package of 3....  pkg 3 = $8.37.  I made a link to an ebay shop where they sell it for $3.25 + $0.48 shipping.. NOT BAD! hehe

PRO - good price, 3 for $8.37! That is like the same thing as purchasing ONE O.P.I
CON - What will you do with three of the same nail polish colors?  hehe

REVIEW: Masks and Eyelashes

Product Rating : ★★★★☆

If you guys watched my daily skincare routine video, I mentioned about these face masks that I use (the korean ones).  I usually buy them for $4-$5 at the cosmetic corner at a nearby Korean grocery store.  I found a online shopping mall "Luna Beauty" that sells these for $3 BUT they are currently on sale for $0.99!!!




We look scary so decided to blur out the picture hehe. 


Sandara Park (2ne1) with her mask "nonono don't touch my mask!"


STEPS for applying sheet masks:

1.  cleanse your face
2.  apply your face lotion
3.  apply your toner
4.  apply your acne medication
5.  apply the mask sheet on your face
6.  wait 15 minutes
7.  take off the mask (face will feel alittle moist)
8.  let it dry naturally (air dry). 
Don't wash it off because that is all the good stuff for your face!

** For cooler & fresh mask, put your mask package in the fridge for about 5 minutes, and then apply it to your face.  My husband and I always do that... feels soo cooool!





 DARKNESS KOREAN FALSE EYELASHES

Product Rating : ★★★★★

For all of my makeup tutorials, "Darkness" Korean eyelashes are what I always use.  They are not very expensive, feels light, natural, easy to apply, soft, blends well, only have to trim alittle bit (depending on how long your eyes are), can reuse many times, comes with glue.  I bought this style few days ago to get the more "dolly" look.  It is alittle bit more harder (but still very natural) then the ones I use everyday from this same company.



It comes with TWO glues inside.  The white one seems to not work for me that well and my eyelashes come off.  The yellow glue works GREAT for me even though I only apply a small amount on the eyelashes (barely any).  It stays on ALL day, even when I cry. hehe


Here are the natural ones that I wear everyday from "darkness".  It feels so light and looks so natural, I can't even feel the eyelashes on my eyes.  I like how it is shorter in the corners and gets longer towards the end. 



Here is a comparison of the "natural everyday eyelash" and "dolly look eyelash".
I wouldn't recomment wearing the dolly one everyday because they are alittle more harder and dramatic. =) It is a great eyelash if you want to go for the "dolly look".  Overall, the darkness eyelashes are all GREAT!

These eyelashes are also sold on Luna Beauty website for sooo much cheaper!  I also buy these eyelashes from the cosmetic corner for $5 (with tax), but on this website they are selling them for $2.95 - $3.50

They have A LOT of other great korean beauty products, so you should definitely check it out!




I'm ending this post with a picture of Taeyeon from SSND.
I absolutely love her hair in this picture! (Her hair color and front braids)




Personality by your lipstick shape ♥


I saw this online and thought it was pretty cool!  I am the last personality!

My Favorite MAC Lipsticks

Product Rating : ★★★★★
(Viva Glam Gaga Lustre, Creme Cup, Ravishing, Speed Dial, Lady Bug)



(Viva Glam Gaga Lustre, Creme Cup, Ravishing, Speed Dial, Lady Bug)


These are my top 5 favorite lipsticks from MAC.  I love MAC lipsticks because they stay on almost all day, very light, and applys very smoothly.  I usually don't buy red lipsticks, but this one from MAC "Lady bug" is very sheer and looks very natural.  I wore this lipstick on my natural red lipstick video back in April. =)  The lipstick that I am currently wearing EVERYDAy is the "Ravishing" - one in the middle.  It is a very light and natural coral color and it looks great with everything!

MAC - Speed Dial
omg.. I am in loveeeeeee with this pink lipstick that I purchased from Mac. 
It looks great with my everyday makeup.  It isn't TOO hot pink and

Here is a swatch of the MAC - Speed Dial




Ehgyo Ssal "애교살" - the kind of puffy part under their eyes. 
All the top korean PRETTY celebrities are known to have these.
It's different from bags and dark circles that you get from when you are tired.
A lot of people from korean get surgery to make ehgyo ssal under their eyes.
People with BIG eyes normally have this ^__^


My husband has ehgyo ssal AND a beauty mark.. eh.. not fair!!! ㅠㅠ
